Montgomery Mo-, March 8, 1908
Nh. M. F. Miller-Dear Sir:
BY your request I will send you
my photograph, and also method
l used in growing my one-fourth
of AN acre OF corn in the season of
1907.
First-I selected plat of prairie
land, gently rolling, in fair state
of cultivation. The ground was
oat stubble land of 1906.
Second-I ploweo the ground
near the latter part of April. l
plowed it about six inches deep,
using 55lbs. Of commercial fertil-
izer to the one-fourth of an acre,
sowing it by hand in the bottom
Of each furrow. After the land
was broken short time l thor
oughly narrowed same. After the
soil had become sufficiently warm
to germinate the seed, l selected
the best white seed grown on home
farm in 1905 and l planted very
thick with two-horse dri'I, . t.,
Sin. apart, using 20lbs. oi COM
mercial fertilizer in the row with
the corn at depth of three inches
The corn grew quickly and after
it was up short time I narrowed
Atcer week OF more cultivated
with walking shovel cultivator,
throwing sufficient loose mould a.
round the corn to cover all vege-
tation. After which l took the
hoe and thinned, leaving nothing
but the most vigorous stalks from
twelve to sixteen inches apart in
the row. In few days after the
first cultivation used q one-horse
shawnee harrow, adjusted lever sc
as to stir the entire space between
sows; using a disk oultivator fol
the secnod plowing throwing sol
slightly to the corn using the on,
horse harrow as before between
second and third plowing. Late
cultivation done with the disk
throwing rather fiat ridge o
mould around corn. Afterwards
used the hoe frequently to destro,
all the later growth of weeds an,
occasionally q stalk of corn will
an imperfect shoot. taking pain
MT to destroy any of the brace OF
surface roots.
By the above method the follow
ing result was obtained. 164S lbs
or 2a bushels and % lbs. of corr
that will grade No. 2.

knew a word that was in the Book but in
Exodus 1922 we are told God said to Moses
There | will meet thee, and 1 will COM
mune with thee from above the mercy seat,
from between the two cherubims which are
upon the Ark of the testimony of all things
which | will give thee in commandment unto
the children of Israel" Moses is considered
a model of meekness, but he should also have
been famous for his bravery to meet God at
the mercy seat in the ark, after the divine
author had killed 5000 men for merely look
ing in the box that nelu this Book.
What the people were doing for spiritual
guidance all this time, I do not know but
it is up to the Pope's revsionists to find out.
1t is recorded that the Ark containing the
Book of the Law was not opened until in the
reign of Solomon. And when the Ark was
opened-think of the terror of the discovery
Gods Book was not there.
The Ark is never heard of again except an
intimation that jeremiah hid 1t in a cave on
Mount Pisgah perennial was lucky to have
escaped with his life. but ne seems to have
spent the remnant of his days writing the
Lamentations of jeremiah. Three hundred
and fifty years after Solomon's one thousand
widows had worn deep mourning for their
Ieige lord, builded monuments and planted
flowers at his grave, high priest found the
Book OF the Law, End kings 22-S says
"Hikiah the high priest, said unto Shaphan
the SCRIBE / have found the ,5ook of the
Law in the house of the Lord" 1t is up to
the Pope's revisionists to prove the authenti-
city of Hekiah's find. Reviewing what the
book has cost the world in fear, blood tears
and treasure, it seems pity that it ever was
found
The immortal Saladn who welded the
strongest pen the planet, and who shook
the temple of superstition from foundation
stone to steeple says of the Book of the
Law" Every leaf has proved the parent of
division, schism and hate. Every line has
been row of dragons teeth, from which
have sprung a crop of armed men. Every
word has been an anvil, upon which have been
hammered ten thousands swords"
Every letter has evolved the fire, the
scaffold, the dungeon and the rack. All the
ink that has been shed in producing its mil
lions of millions of copies. is a mere drop in
the bucket, to the merciless deuge of blood,
with which it has drenched the fire blackened
plains and ruined cities of the world And
the letters of iron which it has riveted upon
the limbs of the most valiant of our race,
are as nothing to tie shackles of intellectual
bondage which worn for long ages, have made
Humanity an aggregation of credulous para
sites, crushed by superstition under the
weight of which all creation groans."

have digged and drunk strange waters, and
with the sole of my feet have ] dried up all
the rivers of beseiged places" 1t does not
say who these feet belonged to, but whoever
possessed them certainly deserved their name
recorded in dolly Writ.
Paul says pertinent thing in 2 Thes-
saonians 2-ll which may have some bear
ing on this wonderful chapter, God shall
send them strong deusion. that they should
believe a lie"
The responsibility of Bible revsionists is
fearful, for the Bible says they shall incur
the penalty of having their names taken
out of the Lambs Book o. Life, if they add
one pot or title to the Holy Book, so many
well meaning searches of the Scriptures have
lost their passport, to Heaven by adding to, and
taking away from the Word of the Law, UNI
til but little is left but iots and Titles.
But two members of this Trinity were
authors. God the Father 4. is claimed wrote
the Old Testament, and the Holy Ghost wrote
the New Testament. God the Son wrote no
books. He LETT not a line or word of His
composition. 1t is recorded by the Holy
Ghost that occasion God the oon
wrote the sand" st. Jerome and st.
Chrysostom who are accepted authority by
the rope, both say God the Son could not
write rea. either.
When God wrote the Bible He gave it in
keeping to the Jews. They were not to read
it. he commanded them to lake the Book
of Law and put into the side OF the Ark
of the covenant of the Lord your God, that
it may be there for witness against thee
Deut 3l-26 The ark was to be kept in the
hottest recess of the temple and the high
priest was ordere in Levi.icus 1872 mot
to come at all times INTO the holy place
within the veil before the mercy -seat which
is upon the ark, thai he die not" In ] sam
uel 1919 is descr bed how carefully the ark
containing Gods Book was guarded. They
read land the golden mice according to the
number of all the cities of the Philistines,
belonging to the " lords, both of fenced
cities and of country villages, even unto the
great stone of Abel, where on they set down
the ark of .ne Lord; which stone remaineth
unto this day ia the field of Joshua the
Bethshemite,' instead of placing his Book
in the Ark one would suppose if God really
wanted to guide his children to eternal life"
he would have seen to it, that it had wide
circulation, but lac did not, and instead be-
cause some of the of Beth shemesh
peeped into the box that held Gods Book i'm
Samuel 6-l9 we are told God "smote the
men of Beth shemesh because they had
looked into t.ie ark of the Lord, even he
smote of the people of fifty thousand and
three score and ten men and the account
seems to indicate tat the people of KirJatn-
jearim were scared nearly 70 death, and no

tongues" If the revisionsts are sliced with
violent attacks of inspiration they may
bring more light to the world than the votes
and revisions of Church Councils and the
The Catholics say the Books of Yobit and
Judith, Wisdom Eccleciacticus, Barush, the
Judith, Wisdom Ecclesiactius, Baruch, the
Epistle of jeremiah, the song of the Three
Children, Susanna Bel and Dragon, and
Maccabees all genuine and include them
in the Catholic Bible. The protestants de-
clare all these Books spurious and have
thrown them out of the Protestant Bible.
If God did write these books in the Catho
lie Bible, the Protestants have much to
Books the Catholics should never neglect 60
ing to confession for they have grievous sins
to be forgiven. God does not seem to want
his children to understand his book perhaps
for the reason the less they understand it,
the more they believe it. Thousands have
spent their lives reading and repeating like
parrots jargon about every thing under the
sum- and stars except common sense
wadng through cruelty, brutality, obscenity
and congomerate nonsense to find eternal
life" Think of human being counting the
letters in the Bible, and finding 1885,, $780,
hunting for the middle chapter and finding
it to be job Goth and that the word Jehovah
occurs 1856 times. Think of wasting time
and vitality with things with the idea
that it was serving God and securing
Eternal ife."
Did you ever try to find anything in the
Bible? 1t is much easier to find the lost
Tribes of Israel, Melchisedek, the Lost Chord
or the man that struck Billy Patterson. The
preachers and the Pope himself can't do it
without concordance and aside from few
thread bare texts not one person in a mil
lion can quote verses correctly and tell
where they ne found. You can tell
the most devout Bible students of hundred
imprntabe things in the Bible, and they
will vow they not there, and when you
show them they devoutly say, 1--WE not
allowed to understand such mysteries, it does
not mean what it says" Bible quoters gen.

he chaseth,' and it looks like the Lord has
been chasing me up hill, and down dale for
the past sixty years"
The Pope's Bible revIsionists should make
it plain why for the souls salvation it is
necessary to know that Shem, begat
Arphaxad, Eber begat peleg and Haran begat

that, after having squandered
this money, thereby robbing gen
erations yet unborn, these repub-
lican leaders have the hardihood
to charge honest men with ex-
trsvagance when it is known
they are doing their full duty to
the children and the State? De
mocrats have nothing to conceal
and are proud of their record,
which is open at all times and an
inspection invited.
With reference to the state
ment concerning the number and
average cost of the new school
houses erected under democratic
rule, since March, 1903, it is well
to state that all of this work has
been under the direction of the
State Superintendent and county
boards of education, who have
furnished plans approved by the
highest authorities consistent
with the principle of modern
school architecture. Much val
liable work has, also, been done
in furnishing and beautifying the
school rooms, in painting school
houses and in improving school
grounds.

CHARLEY AND OUR
TAX COLLECTOR.

TAX COLLECTOR.
The republicans claim to stand
upon the principle of local self
government, but the record of
that party in North Carolina
it to be an utter stranger
to the proposition. We have told
of it's conduct so many times in
the past, with reference to this
matter, that it is deemed unneces-
sary to again direct attention to
it's many inconsistencies in gone
by days. Republican leaders
never practice what they preach.
Take, for instance, their candi-
date for acknowledgement, C.
Toms, who is going over the
country denouncing the very
laws he, himself, fought to main
tain. He begged the democrats
of Henderson county to nominate
him for the State Senate in 1901,
declaring himself ia favor Of the
law separating the office of
sheriff and tax collector, in its
present form, and promising to
let it stand. It was common
talk during the Legislature of
1866, when an attempt to re-
peal the law had been started,
that Charley agreed with several
leading republicans before the
election ito step aside and per-
NIT the bill to pass. Had he
kept this promise the law which
is giving the pie-hunting ring
sters so much concern in the
present campaign, would have
been repealed and the Finance
Committee a thing of the past.
But instead. he implored the
senate to kill the bill, which it
finally did after a spirited dis.
cussfon.
The Raleigh News and Obsery-
er, in it's reports of the legislative
proceedings, on Feb. IA, 1906,
says there was q heated discus
sion before the senate committee
on Counties, Cities and Towns
