BUMPER CROP IS
BEING HARVESTED
OATS NEARLY ALL m OR READY TO
CUT AND WHEAT IS RREk.
ING RAPIDLY.

Harvest time is here for certainty
and the merry hum of the mower and
binder is heard on every hand.
The farmer. this year, whistles
while he works.
The cool nights and sunny days of
late have been great factors In bring
ing the crop to very satisfactory ma
turity and hundreds of farmers and
farm hands are busy engaged in the
harvesting of the crops. Oats are
nearly all cut or ready for the knife
or binder, while considerable wheat
has ripened most rapidly with the
past weeks favorable weather was
also undergoing the cutting process.
All grains promise an excellent yield
and in many spots the yield will go
way beyond the general average. A
peculiar fact about the crop this year
is that there is scarcely bad spot OF
any kind. The farmers in this section
of the country are farming better ev'
cry year, however, and this fall one
can drive for miles throughout the
country and the difference is instant
ly noticed. With one more week OF
such weather as last week all grains
with the possible exception OF late
fax will be practically cut.

DESTRUCTIVE
HAIL STORM
WORST HAIL STORM IN HISTORY OF
TnF STATE HITS COUNTIES
EAST.

Walhalla, July 31.-Saturday, July
81, Walhalla and surrounding country
had the most disastrous hail storm
in the history of the state. The range
of the storm was from the boundary
southeast to Grafton and covered
about 240 square miles. 40 square
miles was completely hailed out
About 100000 bushels of grain tribu-
tary to the city was destroyed. The
loss by broken glass in the city alone
was between $1,000 and $14OO..
Around Backov, Leyden and Caval-
ier the losses were heavy. As yet it
is absolutely impossible to tell the
exact damage as the territory cover
ed is very extensive.
In Cavalier county heavy losses are
reported from Hannah and Wales. On
about 1000 acres the loss is total,
while in the remainder of the terri
tory covered the losses will range
from so to 80 per cent.
In eastern Walsh county the storm
struck St. Andrews and Acton town
ship and knocked out about 100000
bushels of grain.
In Walhalla everyone is showing the
spirit of hope and energy and taking
up the burden cheerfully, knowing
that by execution and effort all will
turn out well in the end. And it is
this feeling, this determination to
conquer, that has made the North
Dakota farmer the wealthiest, the
most Independent and best educated
farmer in the world. E..

TillInan Was Rude
But to the Point.

PIesident-eIect Taft has the repu-
tatOn of being a man of no little be
neVolence and, withal, a student of
human nature. From his viewpoint
his intentions toward the South are
no doubt dictated by kindly feeling
although, of course, they are tine
tured by party policy 1t Is impos-
Southern conditions as do statesmen
of Southern birth and education, nor
can it be hoped that he will learn
the correct view of those conditions
unless he remains in close touch with
the South for a lGng period of time.
A winters sojourn in Augusta, with
more or less toadying on the part of
visiting delegations and 4 constant
round of entertainments Will amount
to nothing in the way Of an educa-
willie participating in the hUmdrum
routine of existence in the section
are the experiences which alone will
qualify him to form just conclusions;
and We are willing to give him credit
for q desire toward that end.
Taft has been dividing his atten-
tiOns in an educational way between
white and colored schools since he
has been in Georgia. There Is no
special objection to that, hut the fact
remains that ne made many promises
during his campaign that he would
do all in his power to secure for the
negro every privilege to which the
latter is entitled under the National
law Coming from a republican such
an expression cannot fail to awaken
suspicion. The only experience the
South has had of republican domino
ton in the States was of a character
so revolving that it is best not to
open the wound. But from q logical
standpoint Tillman's recent utter
ance. although delivered with his us
uaI rudeness, should at least be care
fully weighed by all southerners-
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1909-01-23

weighed without producing any feel
ing of malice toward Taft, but from
the viewpoint of practical common
seBse. Here is what Tillman- said in
part:
Il am not opposed to negro educa-
ton at all, provided it is the right
kind. What | said and meant, and by
which 1 stick, is this: That the re-
publican policy for the last forty
years has been to compel the South
to recognize the political equality of
the negro. We disfranchised every
negro we could under the Fifteenth
amendment. and the only instrument
alty available was to require edu-
cational qualification. We never in
tended to be governed by negroes,
whether educated or uneducated.
The Republican party is now seeking
to debaUch the South through Taft
If the Republicans will throw down
and abandon once for all their efforts
to compel the South to recognize the
joint equality of the Caucasian and
African by repeating the Fifteenth
amendment, we can then have con
troll of our state affairs and can then
train them to make better citizens
and aid in that 'Uplift' which Taft is
so anxious to see brought about.
But we can never expect to allow
anybody TO lift them high enough to
pu- their heels on our necks OF gov
eFn us again"
There is a finality of truth in this
which must meet the approval of ev-
cry man who loves the SOuth-yes,
who loves America-and yearns for
its perfect future enlightenment and
evolution into the leading govern
ment of the world; not only as a
physical power but as the greatest
neral factor. And Southerners think
they are right in their belief that
this can be brought about only by
maintaining the social and political
supremacy of the white race. Until
this is understood, appreciated and
ratified by the republicans, they
cannot hope to escape suspicion-Mr.
Taft cannot hope to escape it. The
burnt child fears the fire" and, as We
have repeatedly affirmed, Greeks
who bear gifts, though their faces be
wreathed with smiles, are to be
feared, feared, feared.

An Appeal Deserving
Immediate Response.

An appeal made by the local head
of che Salvation Army that steps be
taken by philaathropic citizens to
furnish a horse and wagon to that
religious body, either as a gift or
loan, awakens The Journals sympa-
thy and commands it's approval. The
turnout is needed in order that mer-
chandise of various descriptions may
be collected from the charitable and
delivered at the poor mans store, 3"
recently established in Pensacola.
From the moment the doors of this
institution were thrown open a week
ago it is reported to have been a
great success charity that has
bestowed a blessing without humili-
ating those who have taken advant-
age of it. For the clothing, furniture
and other necessities of life have not
been given away but sold, although
at a very low price, thus preserving
the selfrespect of beneficiaries.
And the information that many who
had never been known as objects of
charity have taken advantage of this
opportunity to clothe themselves and
furnish their comfOrtless homes di-
rectly confirms the assertion recent
ly made by The Journal that there
is much poverty and real suffering in
or midst by those who are too
proud and sensitive to make their
wants known and to receive aims,
| but who. nevertheless, are only too
glad to provide themselves with ne
cessities at a cost falling within their
meagre means. These are the peo-
pie who may only be reached by or
gained effort, by agents who will
visit the highways and byways and
saDetify their discoveries by deeds of
love without offending pride by a
show of condescension.
| Surely the noble efforts of the Sal
walton Army to aid and upIift hui
manity are well enough known here
to warrant that this call for help will
not be ignored. 1t is not a large de-
mand, Pensacola has many individ-
ual citizens who could furnish the
| horse and conveyance with no ap-
preciable fiattening of their purse.
So who will come forward and do
this work for humanity and for the
Lord?

NEWS NOTES Of
PALMER COLLEGE
Gratifying Showing Made in
Enrolment at the In
stitutiOn.
Special to The journal.


DeFuniak. Jan. 22.-The college
and academy classes resumed work
after the Christmas holidays with
several new students. At present
the total enrolment in all depart
ments is eighty-One-just one less
than were enrolled during the whole
of last session; and, as some are apt
to come in during the chautaHqua
season. the chances arc that this
years record will be better than last
years. This showing is indeed
gratifying to the management as they
had anticipated a possible decrease
in the number of students, owing TO
the Strengthened financial condition of
timber and turpentine people, many OF
whom are patrons of the school. The
second semester begins February
first and it is hoped that many stu
dents will be able to matficulate then
who would not do SO in October
College activities are varied and
numerous so that one is never want
ing for something to do. With ten
mis-, hunting, and baseball, and bas-
ketbalI, the boys find plenty to Occu-
by their spare time. Both courts are
being used now, and the weather is
superb for playing tennis.
The dormitoFy girls and few out
siders have aroused an interest in
basketball. They practice on the
campus and bid fair to have a good
team before long with Mr.. Larrice at
their coach.
Rehearsals have already begun for
the japanese play to be given by the
Palmer girls at the end Of the ses-
sion Miss Steward is directing the
work, so that we may be prepared to
expect a treat when commencement
days are come.
The girls and ladies' missionary
societies gave a delightful Japanese
tea in the dOTmitOTy Friday night.
The decorations we're all Japanese,
as were the costumes, and those for
tunate enough to be present enjoyed
some Japanese songs and TeCitatiOnS.
L The proceeds of the entertainment
are to go to the support of mis-
sionaTy in Japan.
Everything pertaining to the col
lege is f1ouTishing except the treas
ury In these critical times when
even sound money making institU
tions are hard pressed, it could only
be expected that an institution of this
kind would be having a struggle.
However, as fortune begins to smile
on its friends, the school ought not
/ to fail for want of funds.
