Negotiations Between Bulgaria and Turkey Proceedamw Slowly.

Negotiations Between Bulgaria and
 Turkey Proceeding Slowly.
 Sofia. Bulgaria, Nov. 5.--The nego- tiations between Bulgaria and Turkey, according to official advices are pro- ceeding slowly and unsatisfaetorky at Constantinople. The Bulgarian gov- ernment is reticent on the matter of the terms exchanged, but there is un- disguised inpatience in official circles here over the Porte's diIatory tactics.
 Instead of treating with M. Liapt- cheff. the Bulgarian Minister of Com merce. directly, Kiamil Pasha, the grand vizier. has delegated three un- der officials to conduct the negotiations. It is thought that foreign influence and dissensions in the Turkish cabinet are responsible for the grand visfer's circumspection.
 Mir. Liaptcheff has been empowered to negotiate a custom union between the two countries, a junction of rail- ways at Kostendil, in the southwest of Bulgaria and the maintenance of the privilege of the Bulgarian schools and church in Macedonia in return for which the Bulgarian government would pay more willingly the Russian tribute. which has been forced upon it by the powers. The Turks. however. show a disposition to defer such mat ters until after the convocation of par liament.

The meeting of the stockholders Of
the Eastern Shore Produce Exchange,
at Onley on Wednesday, was well at
tended and conducted in a way to merit
the commentator of all the people Of
the Eastern Shore. 1t was harmonu-
Gus gathering and all of the days pro-
ceedings showed that the members were
not only satisfied with the way in
which the affairs Of the Exchange had
been conducted the present year by
their officers but that they were willing
to trust them again-and proved it by
giving all of them another term. That
the members showed their pleasure and
satisfaction too by increasing the salary
of the business manager, general IN
spector and assistant general Inspector,
and in offering an increase to the treas
urer, which was declined, should occa-
sion no surprise and be no cause for
dissatisfaction. The affairs of the Ex-
change, as presented in the reports OF
the business manager and treasurer, in
dictated too much progress and success
to give anyone ground for complaint or
unwillingness to withhold from the
officers the rewards that were due to
them for services faithfully rendered.
That the Exchange will continue to
grow in favor with the people and be
the medium through which greater
prosperity will come to them in the
future than in the past, no one now
doubts, as long as it continues under its
present management. The members Of
the organization surely have every rea
son to be satisfied with the operation!
of the Exchange and it is to be hoped
that the time is not far distant, whel
all the people of the Eastern Shor'
will be convinced how much create
benefits would accrue to US, if all woulC
unite in helping it along to greater sue
cess by becoming members Of the or
ganization.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER II, 1908.

In the winter of 19O7-OS, the Virginia
Agricultural and Mechanical College
offered for the first time to the farm
ers of the State short course IN agrl-
culture and kindred subjects. The re-
suits were satisfactory in every way
Farmers representing Twenty-Five
counties in the State were present, ana
expressed enthusiastic satisfaction WIN
the work given. This course Will be
repeated. and lectures and demonstra-
ton work will begin Tuesday, January
10Th. and continue for four weeks,
closing February 10th. The lectures
will be given in the morning and de
monstrations of stock-judging, dairy
practice, farm machinery, silo and en-
silage machinery, pruning, spraying
etc. in the afternoon. General Agrl-
culture will be given the first week
Animal Husbandry the second, Dairy
Husbandry the third, and Horticulture
the fourth. In addition to the practl-
cal instruction given during the day
one or more Illustrated lectures on
popular subjects will be given at mgh'
during each week of the course. Inc
expense of the farmer for the foui
weeks course, it is estimated, Will bt
about twenty dollars.
The above is an abstract of a state
ment made by the President OF the
College, Mr.. Barringer, setting tortf
the objects and advantages OF The
course offered to the farmers OF Vlr
ginia and, therefore, may be accepted
not only as authentic and correct bu
in every way worthy of their considera
ton. The subjects to be presented
will be noted, are of the practical kind
in which all farmers are interested ant
who for the most part lack the intor
nation to be given them that is neces
sary to enable them to conduct tnei
farming operations to the best advan

selves. 1t goes without saying, that man
farmers of the State will avail them
selves of the advantages Of the cours
offered them and as many farmers Q
the Eastern Shore, as can convenient
do so. it is to be hoped, will be preser
"to take the course" and receive tn
profits to be derived therefrom. AS
class they are better equipped for the.
work, perhaps, than any in the Stat
but they do not know it all and sRouI

they will find in the course will be wort

The Presidents message to Congress,
now in session, is only repetition OF
the policies advocated by him heretofore
and contains nothing new or striking.
The features of the message briefly are;
can attack on the antitrust laws of
the United States, in which he declared
that the Sherman act should be amend
ed to permit combinations in the in
terest of the public, and urging that
the national government can best cope
with trusts under the interstate clause
of the constitution; legislation to safe
guard the wageworkers and provide for
them when injured, etc.; the need OF
protecting the forest; better pay for
federal judges, and while saying the
courts are imperilled by the judges,
charges that many of the shortcomings
kf justice are chargeable to the people;
