REPEAL OR AMEND THE HEB

HUMUs AND HOW TO GET IT.
Here's Something of Value to Farm
crs Who Don't Know.

Here's Something of Value to Farm
ers Who Don't Know.
We had a letter the other day
from a reader who wished to tell
other readers how to raise corn. His
prescription was short and simple
Put corn stalks or green pine boughs
in furrow, bed on this furrow and
! plant the corn.
| No, this man had really found out
one important fact-that his soil
sadly needs humus; but he had not
found out how to get that humus.
Imagine a man putting pine boughs
or corn stalks along all the rows in a
! twenty-acre corn field, and thinking
that he was doing profitable work!
| 1t is just such Wasteful and laborious
fiddling' about and making be-
| lieve" at farming that ails the south
! today. What that man wants to do
| is to SOW his corn land in cowpeas
and then put in some winter-growing
crop. Then the next season he can
grow peas or SOW beans, or peanuts,
or even sweet potatoes on it, SOW it
in crimson clover, pillow the clover
under and thereby add more humus
and more nitrogen to his soil in two
years than he would get in a life
| time of monkeying with corn stalks
and pine bOughs.
| Those corn stalks have a consider
able amount of feeding value if
properly handled, and the manure
! they would make would be worth
more than the stalks bedded in the
rows as he describes Yet he evi-
/ IDENTIFY thought his plan good for the
soil. We must count the cost of our
/ labor in counting the cost of a crop.
We have been doing so much IN
/ profitable labor which we might have
avoided that it is hard for US to get
out of the habit. We must get out,
however, and get down to genuine
! farming.
| If your soil needs humus-as most
southern soils do-get it by the grow
/ ing of leguminous crops and the
feeding of live stock; don't go to
playing about, filling burrows with
corn stalks and making beds over
them, doing lot Of needless work
and smerely returning to the soil a
small part of what has been taken
from it. The hope of the farmer lies
not in few new quack methods ana
spectacular discoveries, but in the
old fundamentals of genuine, all
round good arming-Raleigh On.

A PLOT TO BREAK JAIL.
The Prisoners Got File in a Loaf
of Bread.

The Prisoners Got File in a Loaf
of Bread.
The Cuthbert Leader says an effort
of the prisoners to break Jail was
frustrated in that town Thursday.
Jailer Taylor received an inkling
that something was in the wind, and
he and Sheriff Mattox made a search
of the prison cells. They found con-
cealed in beds several iron bars. In
vestigatiOn showed that they had
been filed off that part of the
mechanism used in working the bolts
in the lock of the door leading to
the cells. One of the prisoners ac-
knowledged that a file had been
slipped to them in a loaf of bread
With the iron bars they might have
killed the jailer, or they could have
made their escape otherwise.
Ike Hudson and Frank Billiard
the mulatto who is said to have es-
capped from the Quincy, Fla, and
Eufaula, Ala, jails, are said to be
the ringleaders, and they werG
chained in their cells. Ten prisoners
were in that section of the Jail.

A STRIKING CONTRAST BETWEEN TAFT AND D|Az
The Meeting Between the Two Presidents On the Texas
Mexican Border an Event Of Wide Interest

The old and the new-medieval-
ism and democracy-will shake
hands in Texas when Presidents Taft
and Diaz meet there a few days
hence. This will be the first time
in history when a president of the
United States leaves the United
States for another country.
And for the first time almost since
he was Mexican fugitive at New
Orleans with a reward of $4,000
on his head President Diaz will set
foot upon American soil.
The meeting of the two presidents
will be one of the most spectacular
events of recent years in American
politics 1t will bring face to face
for the first time two men of inter
national fame, each representing a
great nation. 1t will be followed by
much speculation as to what they
talked about and what understand
ing or agreement they may have
come to.
The two presidents are to meet at
the border town OF Culdad JuareZ
and Eel Paso. And in making the
formal calls upon each other, Presi-
dent Diaz calling upon President
Taft on American territory and Taft
returning the visit on Mexican terri
tory, they will cross a small bridge
over the Rio Grande.
Only a span divides the United
States from Mexico in distance, but
several centuries divide them in CIV
ilization. President Diaz will be sur
rounded at this meeting with all the
panoply of war, with large and gor-
geous staff, brilliant in gold lace and
uniforms, among whom the civilian
dress will be almost absent. There
will be few, if any, soldiers about

distinguished men will represent

LAWYER
Diaz will be over 80 years of age
at the time of the meeting. Taft
on the other hand, will be a man in
the prime of middle life. Diaz will
look forward to dying in the presi-
dental chair of Mexico. Taft will
look forward to nothing of the kind.
Diaz believes that he is absolutely
necessary to Mexico, and that the
only hope for his country is a con-
tinuance of the policy that he has
laid down. Taft knows well that no
man is necessary to the United States
and that no one mans theory ever
was or probably ever will be the fixed
policy of this country.
A comparison between these two
men affords some striking contrasts.
President Taft's life has been quiet.
orderly, peaceful, systematic. The
life of Diaz has been turbulent, en-
ergetic, bold, defiant
Taft went into Office on date and
by method prescribed by law. He
knows that he will go out of office
on March 4th, should he live to fin
ish his term. The term of Diaz is
not only the term of his antural life,
but his occupancy of the presidency
began by an accident so many years
ago that many people alive today
cannot recall the circumstances.
When Porfirio Diaz assumed the
presidency of Mexico on May 5, 1877,
it was as a successful leader of the
revolution of Tuxtepec. He had
fought his way to the chief execu-
tive's chair and ousted by force of
arms the then Constitutional Presi-
dent, Lerdo de Tejado.

American and British Explorers viii
Make Rival Dashes.

Two rival antarctic expeditions, one
American and one British, will soon
make dash for the South Pole, both
straining every nerve to claim the
honor of placing its flag at the covet-

The first call has been made for
funds to make up two hundred thou
sand dollars by subscriptions, the
list being issued in London by Capt.

A cablegram from Sydney, Cape

Great Britain, stimulated by the
success of Peary, is aroused to a

NEW DISCOVERIES MADE
 IN THE YUKON DISTRICT

Miners secured as high as $2.50 to the pan.
 Better results, however, are expect cd from the Mayo river, a branch of the upper Stewart. The richest dig. ging where the surface has been scarcely scratched are located on flag gart creek, which empties into the Mayo river. Here the gold is coarser than on its new rival, and prospect ing gave results up to S3.50 per pan.
 In order to provide facilities for reaching this new camp, twenty four miles of wagon road will be built by the Yukon government this summer.
 The territorial government keeps in close touch with the prospector by building new trails and wagon roads to every camp which promises to be q permanent one. The Yukon now has l,600 miles of wagon roads, in- cluding 800 miles of substantially built highways.-Dawson News.

New placer diggings which promise to enormously increase the gold out. put of the Yukon district this year will soon loom large in the public eye according to R. D. MacFarlane, Inspector of public works, with head. quarters at Dawson. The finds were made last fall, too late in the season to carry on any extensive work. They are located on tributaries of the Stew art river.
 Miles of ground have been located by pioneer prOspectors who have made and lost fortunes since the early days of Klondike discoveries. Barker creek, a tributary of the Stew. irt river forty miles above its conflu- cnce with the Yukon will be the scene of one of the spring rushes. The yellow metal is expected to be extracted in abundance as the little development already done was of the most encouraging character.
