THE ANTITRUST Law.

We are publishing In another col
umn a copy Of the antitrust Law
passed by the Legislature of 1907
and amended by the Legislature OF
1909. The dust hasn't been brushed
OF this law since II was first passed
in 1907 and the amendment of 1908
has been laid In the same dusty
pigeon-hole.
Our subscribers will probably read
the bill with interest since 80 much
has been; said about 1t In the public
press for the past few months. The
News and Observer and ex-Speaker
Justice say that the law is defective
and cannot be enforced. and while
the State authorities claim that the
law is effective. and carries out their
platform pledges.
The row in the Democratic party
over the matter IL not in the interest
OF the law. but 10 being waged in the
interest OF certain aspirants and their
friends, with a view to destroying
certain candidates for office In order
that they may have the Offices them
selves. AS to the fight within the
Democratic ranks. we have no ruth
ers." But getting back to the point,
we should like to see the law tried
and then there could be no question
as to whether 1t was effective or inef-
fective. as the result would speak for
itself. The State officials have had
opportunity to test the bill. but for
some reason the said officials have
allowed the law to lie dormant on the
statute books. When the Greensboro
Ice Trust crushed an Independent
company to the walls some months
ago. the law could then been given
fair test. The law may be effective
and may not be, but If the authorities
are sure 1t will work. why don't they
give 1t trial. and thus end the con-
trovsrsy?

CAN THE MACHINE REFORM 1T.
SELF?

The State Democrat, published at
Raleigh, says that the passing of
sumptuary laws Is the most danger
Gus. and certainly the most detestible
of all forms of present legislation.
If the State Democrat has set in to
reform the Democratic party 1t GER
tainly has a job on its hands. and
will meet many rocky roads in its
travel. The Democratic politicians
have never given any one, except
their machine politicians. credit for
knowing what they wanted or should
have, but have passed laws in this
State to conform to the ideas of the
Democratic machine. If a Democratic
representative from any county does
not belong to the machine, then he
can't get the legislation he wants.
And If the representative is a Re-
publican-well, they have about quit
asking for anything at the hands of
machine Legislature. only to ask
that they be let alone.
Talk about local self-government!
Why. some of the Democratic poll
ticians don't even know what the
term means. Every Republican coun-
ty In the State. and some few Demo-
cratic counties. can bear testimony
to the above statement. The machine
has interfered with local self-goy-
eriment in every county where they
thought such q course would aid
them In that county.

A NEW FIELD FOR BRYAN.

The news comes from Washington
City that Mr.. Bryan may accept the
nomination for President next time
on the National Prohibition ticket as
we'll as on the Democratic ticket. Our
contemporary says that in all prob
ability the Prohibitionist will hold
their convention in advance of the
Democratic convention and nominate
Mr.. Bryan and then the Democratic
convention will have to endorse Mr..
Bryan and their platform.
II this program is carried out the
people will witness the worst split
In the Democratic party that has
been seen in years. While possibly
half OF the Democrats In the South
would agree to such a program. the
Northern element, which usually con-
trolls the party, would enter their
protest and would again split the
party In twain. And, too, when did
Mr.. Bryan declare himself a Prohi-
bitionist? We have understood that
when the Denver platform was being
framed that Mr.. Bryan would not
agree to a Prohibition plank in the
platform. We have also seen 1t stat
ed In Democratic papers that Mr.
Bryan had declared that he was not
In favor Of State Prohibition. but
that each locality should be allowed
to work out its own salvation. Has
Mr.. Bryan changed?

Things Are Planned for the Mex
| Session.
The meeting of the North Caro-
INA Farmers State Convention
"nlch held It's annual session at thu
a. q M. College. near Raleigh, las
week, was well attended and much
interest was taken in the proceed.
tngs OF the Convention, which came
TO a close Friday afternoon. Mr.. r
w. Blount. of Washington, is the new
PRESIDENT, and many new things are
Planned for next years session. The
progressive Farmer, in giving an &C.
count OF the meetings, says:
Inc hrst day was largely deyot-
ed to discussion of soil problems.
Mr.. r. w. Scott told of his experi-
ence In re-claiming a WORKOUT farm
and building it up to be one of the
most profitable In the State. "Our
solls' said Mr.. Scott, "are Door be-
cause we have made them poor. The
FERTILITY OF no soil can be kept up by
the growing Of one crop year after
year."
One striking expression in Mr..
SCOTS able address was something
ike this: II do not care If cotton
goes to 20 cents pound, If tobacco
goes to 20 cents pound, or II wheat
goes to 81 per bushel land I am a
wheat grower myself), no man can
anord to go on cropping his land in
cotton, tobacco or wheat" In this
sentence Mr.. Scott showed his appre-
citation OF a fact that all our farmers
must come to realize-that no svs.
tenn OF farming which will denlete
the SOIL can be good farming, no mat
ter what the present returns. and
that any single crop system is bound
sooner or later to deplete any soil
under ordinary circumstances.
Prof. c. L. Newman, in a paper on
the crime OF gulleying, showed how
the farmers instead of conserving
their greatest natural resource, had
been wasting 1t by sheed Indifference
and neglect. That gulleying or vast
ing OF the soil fertility in any way is
a crime against the State, and
against the farmers of the future. |
was also emphasized by Mr.. e. z.
Miller, Managing Editor of The Pro-
gress1ve Farmer, and other speakers
ID the discussion that followed. As
20 the practicable means of main
tanning soil fertility, stress was laid /
On Cd the rotation of crops, alter
