The following is DR. Knapp's plan
for bringing ur badly worn out
lands the doctor being a govern
ment agent for farm demonstration
work for this State:
"Plow the land eight inches deep,
and if possible setting it on edge;
then harrow it well and use about
two thousand pounds of Stacked
lime, then SOW one-half bushel of
sorghum, one.half bushel of COW
peas, turn the soil under eight
inches and put on winter cover of
crimson clover. With plowed land
treatedjn this way it will be good

Fight In SENATE
over COTTON TIES
led By SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR'S
Smith BEST INFORMED MAN In
SENATE on COTTON.

The State Bureau, II Post Build
/ ing, Washington, June 2o.-Both
he South Carolina Senators took an
tive part in the fight 10 put cotton
.es on the free list today. They in
fact practically led the fight, the
amendment being proposed by Sen
ator Culberson, who had arranged
with the Carolina Senators to speak.
But it was of no use; the Aldrich
machine, which is under great obli-
cations to the steel trust, voted it
down. Senator Aldrlch made the
, plea that since there were large de.
posits of iron in certain Southern
States, the South ought to be max
ing its own cotton ties and the South
ern Senators ought to be against any
effort to put ties on the free list.
Senator Tillman replied that as
matter of fact the South did not
make any cotton ties and could not
make owing to the dominance Of
that business by the steel trust.
Senators Oliver of Pennsylvania
and Lodge Of Massachusetts stated
that the Southern cotton farmer act.
ually makes money off of bagglng
and ties because he buys bagging and
ties for about 8 cents pound and
sells them at the same price as the
cotton.
Senator Smith completely refuted
this by showing that the Liverpool
buyers deduct for bagging and ties
per cent aud then fix the price Of
the whole world, this 6 per cent be-
ing taken out before the price of the
cotton is fixed in America. Senator
Smith got into spirited colloquy
! with Messrs Oliver Lodge and Others
! over this point, and thus demon
strated to the Senate what he could
do in running debate. 1t was clear
TO all that he was a master of the
subject and the best Informed man
! in the Senate on the subject of cot
ton.
Cotton baggjng was put on the
free list this morning, without a di-
vision, lut the steel trust was not
concerneI i1 that, The Senate voted
down the ties proposition, 50 to 81.

A Wonderful Clock.

4 clock which is absolutely silent,
so that not the slightest ticking is
heard, that is guaranteed to GO for
LOCO days without requiring the
slightest human attention, and that
will keep correct time in any posi-
ton even upside down-such IS the
Eureka clock which was submitted
for the inspection of King Ed
ward VII of England recently.
The simplicity and science of the
mecbaniem of the invention are re-
markahlc. This clock is an entirely
new departure. 1t is as unlike the
old tiuIepiece, with its weights, wheels
and pendulums, as car possibly be
imagined. Its dial hands are moved
by direct impulse from the electric
current. Hitherto, attempts at max
ing self-winding clock have failed,
owing to the complexitv of the me-
chanism. There Is, however, praetl-
cally no mechanism, in the ordinary
sente of the word, in the Eureka
clock, such works as it has run on
ball bearings large enough for bi-
cyClc 50 that friction is almost nil.

DIRECT LEGISLATION.

Under the system Of direct legisla-
ton, or the initiative and referendum,
the people of Oregon voted on eleven
measures in 1906, adopting eight and
rejecting three. This shows that the
voters Disseminated, and not one bad
measure was adopted.
AS showing how the referendum can
break the power over lawmaking ex-
ercised by monopoly upon legislatures
two acts adopted by the people Of Ore

The legislature had refused to levy

SUGAR IN PLACE OF ALCOHOL.

One Of the recent claims of scien-
fists is that if sugar is supplied plen-
tifully an appetite for alcohol will not
be created. Farm life affords many
Injuries improved by the liberal use
Of sugar, and if this use will curb
the craving for liquor this fact should
be kept to the front. Anyway, sugar
is cheaper and more wholesome than
meat, and if, as is claimed, the taste
depraved by alcohol spurns it, the
chance of preventing other tastes
from becoming so perverted is worth
the trial.-Nashville Banner.

The Central has to be run in such a way as

as would rebuild and equip the road. Therefore,
the shippers are pinched in freight rates. mer-
chants and farmers p1undered to gather trib-
ute for Wall street rascals, needed improve
ments neglected, employees overworked and

THE LAWYERS, who stave off legislative
investigation into the illegal relations existing
between the Southern and the Central, are not
overworked nor underpaid. They draw the
biggest kind Of salaries, and enjoy some 1us-
cious perquisites.
THE NEWSPAPERS, that look the other

ply keep their mouths shut and their eyes
averted, while their advertising managers cash
in.
And MAJOR HANSON, the dummy Presi-
dent, he isn't overworked and undergrad, eth

that he is quite social lion, in fashionable cir
cles-a sort of Sir Charles Grandson don't you

not annually show up; gay Paree would droop

that too little? How can one say? To answer

Now here is the thing of interest about the
above telegram
1t was sent Dead Head, that is, free of
charge, by the Western Union Telegraph Co.
So we not only find the Senator from South
Carolina using his government frank on his
private mail to send it free, but we find him
accepting special favors from a big corporation,
the Western Union Telegraph Co.
The Senator who uses telegraph and tele-
phone frank belongs to the same class as the
one who uses free pass or express frank to
ride free or send his express free.
These corporations give such privileges for
expected favors, and the Senator who sends
d thirty word telegram free is not considered
an enemy of the telegraph corporation.
While Congress is raising such howl over
the appropriation for the secret service and
condemning the President for hiring special
detectives for investigating the Brownsville
affair, the time could much better be devoted
to important business.
The time that has been wasted since the be-
ginning of the present session, time paid for by
the tax payers, amounts to more than the secret
service appropriation.
ISL IL Tdlner amusing TO tnOSe VINO know the
records of some members of Congress to read
about those members becoming so indignant
when their honor is questioned?
And don't we know the real reason why they
want Congressman barred from secret investi-
cations?
The people don't object, for they really want
to know just what kind Of men they are pay
ing to transact their business.
The government is the business head of the
nation, and it should be run on business prin-
ciples: the people should know just how it is
being run.
Every Surety company, every Railroad COM
pany, every big corporation or business has
its set Of secret agents always on the lookout;
SO has the Postofice Department, the Treasury
Department, the Department of Justice, etc,
and we never hear any kick about it.
Then why should not the most important
branch Of the government be looked into some
times?
The President even, should not be exempt
from investigation.
Coming down to the real facts, Congress-
men are only agents of the people, paid by the
people to transact the business Of the nation.
And the people have right to know in what
manner they are transacting it.

rageously polite, this attorney did not insist up-
on having the Major say whether he were free
to jar himself loose from that solitary share of
stock
Therefore and consequently. we do no VIC
lence to the reasonable hypothesis when we
hazard the surmise that Maj. Hanson owns no
stock at all in the Central and that the lone
some share which appears in his name belongs
to somebody else
In commercial parlance, Hanson is dummy
stakeholder in the corporation which he milks
to the tune of $4,000 per year.
That's queer, isn't it?
The fair inference is that the Central is still
secretly owned and controlled, in violation Of
law, by the Southern Railroad Of this latter
company, J. Barbour Thompson is the Geor-
gia manager,-indeed, chief cook and bottle
washer.

failure, some years ago. Do you remember the
same Mr.. Barbour Thompson?)
Now, it is of course nothing more than a CO.
incidence that one of Major Hanson's lady
companions in the auto ride, which resulted in
a broken arm for the Major, was Mrs. Barbour
Thompson.
Some years back, the Central Railroad be-
longed to the people of Georgia The State had
greatly favored it. Trustees, Executors, Adj
ministrators and Guardians had invested heav-
lily in it's stock. 1t was one corporation where

Swooping down upon this Georgia corpora
ton, came a Wall Street flock of birds of
prey,-Pat Calhoun in the lead, They secured
control, slapped on sixteen million dollar
bond issue,-and stood from under. The road
defaulted was sent to the block, was sold, and
bought in by Wall Streeters. J. P. Morgan
reorganized it.
When that international robber got through
with the job, the Central was staggering under
capitalization of more than $5o,ooo,ooo!
The original amount of the capitalization got

What about the man who is master
full and domineering? How is his wife
to treat him?
If she would not lose her own and
her husbands respect, she will not
quarrel, will not scold, will not nag
She need not resort to means which
are beneath the dignity of a refined
woman.
Let the wife appreciate that she Is
her husbands equal, his friend, his
partner-not his slave nor his toy.
The main point is not what is asked
by the man. but how II is asked. We
have not so much to do with the mat
ter Of the demand as with the manner
OF II. Every dutiful wife has a right
to exact a courteous manner and gen
tlemanly speech from her husband
To attain this end she will discour-
age at the outset any rough language.
One bride, within month of her mar
riage, showed with gentle dignity
that she would allow nothing but
courteous treatment from her liege
lord. They were entertaining a few
friends in their new home. The bride
made a statement which the husband
contradlcted She hesltated a min

rising color. Tactfully changing the
subject, she chatted pleasantly on un.
