National Guard Bill.

Mr.. Strickland, in the House, has
put in an amended copy of the bill
presented two years ago to compel the
organization of the state militia to
conform to the regulations of the
United States army. This bill was de-
feated in the Sixteenth General AS
sembly on the plea that 1t was pre-
sented for the purpose of legislating
out of office certain of the officers of
the guard. and the plea gained
strength as it was found the national
army is not now organized on the
brigade formation" of which army
men speak. Had the proposed law been
enacted, it was stated, the office of
brigadier general would have been
abolished. Mr.. Strickland has avoided
this objection by providing that all
present officers Of the guard shall hold
their offices for two years, or until
January OF 1910.

Water Commission Bill.

The water commissioner bill pre-

provides that commissioners. being ap,
pointed by the governor, shall be paid
by the state. County officers have
complained that they had to pay these
officers without the least authority
over them. The bill is one that was
approved by the convention of county
commissioners held early in the year.
Another convention is to be held by
the same officers within a short time,
when resolutions will be passed to in

Strenuous Antitrust Bill.

Representative Howell of Denver
has offered a bill against the trusts,
that is modelled after the Texas law
on that subject, in the main. though
II includes many stringent provisions
from the laws OF other states. II is
designed by its author to make trust
making losing venture. The bill de-
clares that all trusts and combinations
are illegal. and that anyone found
guilty of forming one or becoming a
member OF one shall be fined from
$500 to $4,000. In addition, upon
complaint to the courts. the right to

Election Fraud Resolution.

In conformity with one of the rec
concentrations of Gov. John F. Sha.
froth in his inaugural address, Sen.
Tully Scott offered a resolution call
ing for an investigation of the alleged
election frauds in Huerfano and Las
Animas counties.
Senator Scott made his resolution
sweeping in it's character, and applied
to the political connections of indus
trial corporations in these counties,
meaning, as Governor Shafroth indi-
Gated, the alleged frauds in the coal
camps of the counties. While it per-
mits investigations of the books of the
corporations there, it is not intended
to be an investigation along any other
lines, as Senator Scott stated after its
introduction.

Home Industry in Colorado.

This state is gradually coming TO
the front as a manufacturing center
Raw materials are much cheaper and
easier to obtain here than in the
extreme eastern states. The home
market for machinery and articles Of
all kinds is good, partly due to the
patriotic spirit of the citizens to help
home industry by their patronage.
1t is rather hard now for some of
the factories to obtain skilled labor at
this time, but with our boys and girls
growing up and learning the different
trades this difficulty will be overcome.
People can live much cheaper and bet
ter in this state than they can in the
eastern states on account of the lower
prices of farm and garden products,
By the increased home demand for
these products prices will of course
become higher. This is where the
farmer gets his pay for patronizine
home industries.

Alleged Huerf.no County Frauds.

In urging his resolution to appoint
election frauds in Huerfano and Las
Animas counties Senator Scott pro-
duced a letter which, he said, was
from a citizen OF Huerfano, and a
man who has taken part in the coun-
ellis OF the state. though refusing to
give his name.
The letter stated that election
frauds had prevailed in Huerfano and
Las Animas for eighteen years: that
while the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com
pany owns more than either the Rio
Grande or Colorado & Southern rail-
road companies. its annual assessment
was based on valuation OF 100000.
while the Rio Grande was assessed on
a valuation of 100000 and the Colo
RADIO & Southern on a valuation OF
100000. The result, the latter
claimed, was that the revenue of the
coal mines was levied from the agri-
cultural and business interests. Hay
is the largest agricultural crop and
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
1t was stated-yet no farmer can find
a market, according to the letter, un-
less he pledges eternal fidelity to the

ing purposes unless voting as told.

RANKIN COUNTY.

Mr.. B. o. Moss, who has charge of
South Mississippi for the United
States Department of Agriculture in
Demonstration Farm work, spent last
week in beat 8, having accompanied
j. l.. Buchanan, County Commissioner
who was locating five farms in that
beat to be worked under plans of
preparation and cultivation worked
out as best in other sections.
He was very much impressed with
the. fertile valleys and broad praries
of that goodly, we'll watered land, and
told the writer to quote him as saying
that while it was not as rich natural
was SO level, SO susceptible of retain
ing fertilization that it was the ideal
section for farming purposes, as well
as fine grazing lands, and was alto
gether as good as any he had ever
visited in Mississippi, or in the South.
What he says about North Rankin is
true, but then the whole county is
unsurpassed in many of the most es-
sential things that one should con-
slider in in locating a home. The
first consideration is always the peo-
pie. there are none better in the South
than whose sons and daughters yield
to no country on earth superiority in
intelligence, virtue and honesty. Then
fertility of soil and health Take the
census reports, look them through and
you will not find any country that
will show better than Rankin when it
comes to death rate among white peo-
pie or better all round field crops.
Changes have taken place in the
system of farming, which is being
further improved all the time. Bet
ter schools, finer stock, more living
at home is the order of the day all
over the country. The hearts of the
people still beat true to the teachings
and traditions of that generation of
the long ago, whose indepen5 of
of thought and action, caused the
title of the Free State of Rankin"
to be given this county, and the
generations yet unborn will inherit
those ideas of freedom Of speech. of
individuality, of frankness, of honesty
and whose standard of true worth is
merit and not mere wealth, and Ran
kin will always hold it's place in the
councils of the State.

have indicted, il wrong had been
committed,) and in city where the
jurors would be drawn largely from
those whose living depended on gov

are shipped by boat to Norfolk, which
lis the largest market of this product
in the United States. This country
furnishes about one hundred million
pounds of peanuts annually, which is
one-sixth of the entire crop of the
world. Small quantities of peanuts
are raised are raised in number of
other counties in Virginia, and the in
dustry has attained considerable i'm
portance in North and South Carolina
and in East Tennessee.
The home of the peanut and ground
pea (also often called pindar and
goOber) is believed to be Brazil,
although it very soon spread to Al
RIGA, China, Japan and India, and was
recognized as a valuable agricultural
product in these counties long before
1T was cultivated on a large scale
in its native soil, which was net until
the year 1870. In the Old World, how
ever, it has always been planted and
harvested for the sake of the oil it
yields; this is said to rival olive oil
in quality and to he used for the
same purposes. The nuts raised in
the East are far richer n-oil than
the American varieties.
The most popular of the American
peanuts is the Virginia running va
riety. "Lt is a leguminous plant having
leaves resembling those of the alfalfa.
but borne on wide-spreading branches
that grow flat on the ground. The
blossoms are bright yellow and are

Here the oyary enlarges and devel-
opes into the well known pod. TheI

are twice as large as those of the
North Carolina and African peanut.
The Spanish nuts, usually sold only
after being shelled and sailed, are
still smaller.
