Discussing PLANS of Permanent
Help for Overflow Victims.

The Shreveport Times says: A
convention of Red river planters
and others interested in the flood
suffers of Louisiana is being urged
by several river farmers. These
gentlemen point out that while the
needy are being temporarily cared
for by the U. S. government, such
and is to be for only a short period
and these people must be given
means whereby they ran earn a
living for the remainder of this
year. Their crops are ruined
Many have lost their stock and
everything they had. Something
must be done to tide them over I'M
til another crop can be planted
and harvested.
One planter has notified The
Times that all his tenants are to
BE given free rent for this year.
He suggests that all aid given the
needy class be in the form of seed
and other things that will enable
the flood sufferers to plant crops
and get back on a substantial basis
rs soon as possible.
1t has also been suggested that
the planters of each parish hold
meetings, or one great convention
be held of all owning lands in Red
river bottom.
AT this gathering plans would
be outlined whereby a summer
crop can he planted and harvested
with profit, and in this manner the
labor now on the plantations can
be put back on self-supporting
basis at once.
1t has been advocated that the
planters put in large crops of po-
tatoes. By planting these as soon
as the water recedes an early fall
crop would be raised which would
bring an excellent return. MANY
claim that June corn can he plant
ed with success, even ut this late
season.
The Department of Agriculture
would gladly a:d in such a move.
1t has records of late crops and
the soil in which they best -four
ish. The department without a
doubt would gladly send one or
more men to such a meeting, who
would show the records of past ex-
periences in planting late crops,
and would suggest what had best
be planted in order that the Red
river lands may yield some revenue
this year and the thousands of la
borers be given some employment.
Unless something is done to en-
ploy these men many Of them will
leave the country and when next
years crop is ready for the harvest
the planters of North Louisiana
will be without help to gather it..
Many planters have expressed
themselves as in favor of such a
meeting and one may be called at
a near date, the necessity of same
being done as quickly as possible

Mr.. Taft the Nominee.

After the convention at Chicago
had entered upon the pace incident
to the work of a political conven-
ton, it continued its cut-and-dried
programme by the nomination of
Judge Taft for the Presidency.
From the outset there never has
been a doubt as to the identity of
the individual upon whom this
honor would be thrust, for the
President was determined upon
the naming of his successor and
he bad the power to enforce the
carrying out of his programme.
The convention was mere for
mality necessary to give the sane
ton of custom TO the decree of the
real convention which sat in his
office at the White House and lis
tened over the long distance tele-
phone to the proceedings conduct
ed by his representatives in Chi
cago. There were number of as
pirants for the nomination, who,
with their little lightning rods
rampant, were hoping and praying
that snag might be struck some
where aud that the current of pre-
arranged events might be sheerei
off from the original lines and de-
fiected to them. But such hopes
were vain and the forecrdained
candidate was the only one to whom
really serious consideration was
given.
The nomination of Judge Taft
was, after all, as wise a conclusion
MS the convention could have reach
ed. He is recognized as the un-
derstudy of the President, who
would have been nominated bui
for the fact that he emphaticaily
declined it and insisted upon the.
selection of his Secretary of War.
Mr.. Taft's experience and training
have given him all the technical
qualifications necessary to equip
him for the high Office. Few can-
didates for the presidency have
had the wide and diversified ex-
perience in large governmental
affairs that Mr.. Taft has enjoyed,
and in that respect has equipment
is admirable
=. Ifhs should be elected President,
however, he will be handicapped
by the fact that his nomination
WAS forced upon the party by Pres
ident Roosevelt, and that in q
greater or less degree he will be
regarded as Mr.. Roosevelt's sub
stitute. 1t is too early yet to make
any safe predictions concerning
the outcome of the election, but it
is not amiss to say that the Demo-
Gratis have much valuable campaign
supplied by the record of
the Republican party during the
past four years, and that the out
look for Democratic victory in
November is by no means discour-
aging. IN. o. Daily States.

HAS DREAM IF GOLD
 BEEN REALIZED?
CHICAGO MAN CLAIMS HE HAS DISCOVERED PROCESS TO MAN.
 UFAcTURE YELLOW METAL.
It Cannot Be Distinguished From Nat ural Product-Plant to Make 1,00O,- 100000 Year to Be Erected in Philadelphia.

CHICAGO, May l2.-Has the dream
 of gold been realized in the dawn oi
 the twentieth century,! Eighteen month,
 hence, Rudolph NJ. Hunter says, he will
 be manufacturing 24-carat gold at tn,
 rate of $l0o,0O0,00O annually. Trans
 mutation of silver and baser metal.
 into gold is his secret, and he declare,
 he can produce the finer metal in quail
 ty to defy the government experts as tc
 it's origin, and the quantity to keer
 the Philadelphia mint busy the year
 round.
 NIT. Hunter is in Chicago attending t othe final details of getting a huge
 plant at Philadelphia into operation Behind the walls, withou windows and with single door to the turreted and feudal-like castle which is to house a half'million dollars worth of delicately tuned machinery, this modern wizard promises to revolutionize the gold crop of the world.
 We are now at the point of putting into commercial execution the result of years of toll, thought and experiment. ing" said Mir. Hunter at the Great Northern hotel last night. "The last demonstration has been given that is necessary to prove that my invention is scientifically and commercially cor. rect and the completion of the plant, which is to begin at once, will mark the beginning of new epoch in the commercial history of the world.''
 Mir. Hunter is an inventor and .en- gineer of standing in the scientific world. During his career he has pro- duced and patented hundreds of ideas, natably in the electrical field. His pat ents cover the trolley, conduit and elec- trict accumulator system of traction now in use.
 The inventor came to Chicago, he said, to submit his building plans to a select coterie of Chicago business men, two of whom are bank presidents, who, with New York and Philadelphia financiers, are furnishing the necessary funds for the erection of the building and apparatus which is to turn a flood of gold into the government mint at an original cost of 10 cents on the dollar.
 MT. Hunter is not inclined to dis cuss his plans and hopes for the req son, he explained, that his results and his claims are so at variance with com mon belief that those who have not studied the situation are disposed to number him with the dreamers.
 "I am asking nothing of the pub ic, and while I am willing to do what can for science, I prefer to wait unti! he results speak for themselves,n de. Jared Mir. Hunter. "My discovery of he transmutation of silver into gold | vas announced five years ago. At that ime l had secured results which seemed Q be perfect, and by my process the ,old was produced in excellent quail | y. Then it came to a question of ommercializing the process and I found hat while l had achieved the desired esults, the method had not been per ect and l had to retrace the entire curse.
 Now I have it., and those who coffed five years ago will be compelled

ARREST PRINCE zU EULENBURG;
 REVIVE OLD COURT SCANDAL

BERLIN, May 12.-Prince Philli, Zu Eulenburg was today placed unde
 actual arrestf The crown prosecute,
 took this step as result of the testi
 monye given by two men at the prince :,
 bedside yesterday to the effect tha,
 Prince Zu Eulenburg had been guilty
 of wrongful actions with them twenty five years ago.
 Prince Zu Eulenburg was involved in the court scandal in Berlin that grew out of the charges brought by Max. milan Harden, editor of Die Kufunft last summer. At the second Harden trial the court declared that all the charges made by Harden were abso. lutely without foundation.
 The prince g arrest is taken to mean the irretrievable ruin of this brilliant man, who was at one time a confiden- tial friend of Emperor William. The prince had been nearer to his majesty during the greater part of his reign than any other German subpect. He might have been chancellor of the em. pire if he had not refused the respon. sibility incident to this post. This he did possibly because stories of secret misconduct have long been circulating against him, so much so that he has lived on the brink of disclosure for the past ten years He voluntarily gave up the position of German ambassador at Vienna in 1902 because, as was common. ly gossiped at that time, group of his enemies threatened him with ex posture.
 Is Gifted Writer.
 After resigning at Vienna the prince returned to Berlin, where he was often with the emperor. Everybody in official life has known that Emperor William was delighted with the companionship of the prince, whose conversation was always charming, full of wit, anecdote and dramatic climaxes, natural and | easy and touched now and then with | graceful and sentimental expressions. | His epigrams were more feared than | those of any other tongue about the court. The prince is a gifted writer. and is the author of no less than eleven volumes of fairy tales, short stories and poems and several plays which he pub ished were under the name of Svenson.
 The prince s charm of manner did not iesert him today. He is a sick man and the joints of his legs are swollen from neuritis, but when physician repre-. 'enting the examining judge informed i'm that he was well enough to be taken prisoner to the hospital he quicklyI ,alled his valet, who dressed him with the princess amiable talk the while being interrupted every now and hen by grimaces of pain.
 Perjury Is Charged.
 As the prince in the second Hardeni rial at Berlin swore to his innocence of he practices insinuated by Harden in Die Kufunft, the present action against i'm is based upon the charge of perjury. t is possible. that the prince will be eleased on s25o,OOO bail.

.iIRsHIP COMING TO STATE FAIR
President Mobley Has Closed Con-
tract With Strobel.

Winnsboro, S. c., Oct. S.-John G..
Mobley, president of the State Fair
Association, gave out the interesting
information here tonight that he
had secured an airship to be exhibit
ed at the State Fair
Mr.. Mobley stated that he had just
closed a contract with Chas. J. Stro-
bel, OF Philadelphia, the well-known
airship expert, to go to Columbia
and make two flights daily during
the progress of the State Fair.
1t will be an entirely free attrac-
ton and will no doubt attract con-
siderable attention, as it will be the
first visi, Of a flying machine to
South Carolina. Therefore, Mr.. Mob
ley urges that those who have never
seen real flying machine should not
lose the opportunity by visiting the
State Fair this year. He states that
this one attraction is we'll worth the
trip to Columbia, regardless of other
free attractions that have been book
ed for the same.
President Mobley is informed that
the machine has attracted enormous
crowds at other fairs, and he believes
that it will be great drawing card
for South CarOlina's fair

The Importance OF the Oat Crop.
Carolina Spartan.)

Your attention should now be di-
rected to the oat crop. Corn will be
scarce next year. The fodder crop
is light. Oats will be greatly needed
We know lot of land, about 2%
acres, in corn. 1t looks as if there
will be 125 to $50 bushels of fine
corn on the lot. 1t is well covered
with peavines. If that lot is turned
by the goth Of October, harrowe :.
and planted in Appler oats, it ought
to make $50 bushels. All the ferti-
lizer needed for the oat crop would
be 300 pounds Of nitrate of soda or
the lot. Followed with peas it would
make five tons Of hey. Or If planted
in corn feet by IS inches, as soon
as the oats are hauled off, it would
make 120 bus hels Of corn. A good
crop of peas could also be made by
sowing the whippoorwill or other
early pea, or planting a row in IT,"

ton. The oats and hay would be
worth $175; the oats and corn 1896
Such farming is pra ticable. The

a Cavalier? So it will be with us
the coming years. No man will ask
who wore the gray or who wore the
blue.
We honor the old Confederate SOL
der for the courage with which he
fought and suffered for four long
years during the great struggle, bu.
we doubly honor him for the manner
in which he conducted himself after
the war. When bitterness and strife
prevailed, when reconstruction hung
like a pail over the fair but PROSTATE
South, and when the Southern peo-
pie were disfranchised and denied
the right Of citizenship in their own
land, the Confederate soldier, with a
patience, a conservatism and moral
courage that was sublime, fought for
home rule and the right Of the South
ern people - vote and control their
own affairs, and he won q victory no
less splendid in peace than those
which he had achieved in war
Listen: The South as a whole went
into this war without army or navy,
with no credit in the worlds mar
kets, with no resources except the
voluntary personal sacrifice of men
and women Of the South-God's very
best creation in all the cycles OF
time-misunderstood by all the
world, and without sympathy from
any foreign power. but fully realiz-
ing the fearful odds against them,
these men FASTENED to offer them
selves, their lives and their fortunes.
Did they have any dream of conquest
or OF empire? Did any hope Of per-
sonal fortune or acquisition prompt
them? Did ambition to win the
sIY' Ion 70 4,
impel them? Did the money value
of every slave in all the Southland
weigh as the dust in the balance
against the life Of one young strip
ling who kissed his mother a fond
farewell, then waved adieu and walk
ed beyond the stars? No, in Gods
great name, a thousand times no.
with naught to gain, with all to
lose, they barred their breasts to the
storm Of war for four long years;
they exchanged ease and luxury for
toll and starvation: ragged, unShod
and weak from hunger, they march,
ed and watched and fought with no
repining and no weakening Of pur-
pose, but with dauntless souls they
went into the jaws of death. Their
only inspiration was their sense Of
dnty and devotion to right. 1t was
this that nervcd the hearts or Pick
EFT Division to immolation on the
heights Of Gettysburg.
One by one the old Veterans are
crossing the river and resting under
the shade of the trees. May their
declining years be frightened by the
sunshine of peace and contentment,
and be swectened by the hope Of a
brighter day beyond.
