A meeting Of the citizens was held al
the City Hall last Thursday night tc
devise ways and means to further the
cause Of our schools. The immediate
work was to enlarge Alexander Hall
for the Training School, and about
500 were subscribed at the meeting
for this purpose. The sum wanted is
about $4,000 Ten or fifteen rooms are
to be added to the hall to be filed this
fall with new material coming to
school-new boys to be educated in
Union City. A committee was appoint
ed to make whirl wind campaign.
consisting Of j. G. Reynolds. Howell
Bransford and j. A. Coble, who 50 far
have raised nearly 81, 800
No person is asked to donate any
thing, but to subscribe to property
which is worth upon the market every
cent paid in. The new subscriptions
will 60 towards improvements in the
way OF new buildings and the capital
stock is therefore increased in the
same ratio.
1t is estimated that each pupil for
the Hall has already expended in Union
City during the nine months school
term about $3.50 year. About three.
fourths Of this is spent in Union City
for clothing, groceries and other things
in the mercantile lines SO the prac-
teal side of the question is to be sum
med UP in the facts that in subscribing
forthe enlargement Of the hall the citi-
zen here not only gets the value Of his
money in Investment, but he is enlarg-
ing the volume Of his business and ex-
panding our growth and development
in every. way The addition of more
rooms to the hall will bring more boys
here to be educated, and the increase in
business will be worth more to Union City
than the same amount of money invested
in factories. The net returns are greater
than could be expected from any sort
of factory enterprise, and the class of
citizens attracted to our town are alto
gether better.
Remember, Prof Mathis and his as
sistants will fill up all the room you
provide and ask for more, and there is
every reason to believe that they will
have every one of the new rooms spo-
ken for before the building is half way
Instead of SO, 900 or such triaes I'm
ion City should go down in its jeans
and improve this property with $25, 900
worth Of buildings for the school. It
is the least that could be expected of
a citizenship like this, and until it is
done our neighbors will always believe
that we are sorid, selfish, unpatriotic
and misery. Union City has other
excellent advantages and it can have
larger schools il the citizens will wake
up to their duty.

Concentrated Farming.

The commercial and business organ
izations Of Obion County, as we'll as til,
farmers, seems to US, could take up
subject concerning town and county
development OF as much importance
perhaps, as any other, il they
would have an increase in population
and industrial and agricultural activity
We are not aiming to give you chap.
ter on book farming, but as to what
would bring about the best results and
pay the most dividends alike to the far
mer and the business man 1t is ar
gued, and from the best authority we
have, that the smaller the farms the
greater the volume and quality of pro-
duce. Right here, however, it must
be remarked that there are no imme-
date or remote prospects of the land
owners selling their interests in small
tracts at any reasonable price. The
idea in buying immense quantities Of
land is to protect the bayers from f.
nancial reverses or other misfortunes
which bankrupt nations and commune
ties, consuming every other resource
except unincumbered land This is
the principle upon which land is usual
tly accumulated and upon which it
gradually goes into fewer" haas. So
il is useless to discuss the practicabiity
Of selling 0bion County lands into
small farms. But there is another
phase OF the subject, which may not
be impractical, according to good au-
thority, and that is the leasing or rent
ing the lands in small tracts to scien-
tiic, practical and thrifty farmers, and
that should have the attention OF all
our permanent and progressive citizen
ship. 1t is stated that as much money
and a better product can be had from
the cultivation Of farms half the size
with the same help as are realized in
this and other parts OF the United |
States. Especially in Obion County
and Southern sections is this thought
TO be applicable BY this method Of
reasoning it would be practical to doub-
le our farming population by having
more and better farming on lands that
would produce twice as much with the
proper attention and care There has
been an evolution ID farming in the
East which has not yet reached the
south The country ia The East is
more thickly populated and not be-
;ause the farms are owned in small
racts altogether, but because the en-
,rgies and farming methods are concen-
rated on better results from given
amount Of land This Of course re-
luires more tenants or owners, but it
brings more thrifty, if not better
lass, and increases population and
business Of every character The small
armer spends his earnings at home,
nut the large one sometimes does not.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1910-04-29

There is every advantage in having
more good farmers in this country.
There are no other means by which the
country may be more benefited. It
solves many problems in meeting the
demands of consumption and bringing
about economic conditions. The in
crease in the number Of farmers and
the production Of more and better
crops on the same land is calculated to
develop the country more than any 9th
er plan that can be devised. E ss.ss5ra is
general demand every where for good
roads. Good roads alone without an
increase in population would be worth
very little except as a convenience, but
good roads may bring more agricultu-
lists, and that is one Of the uses of the
good roads movement.
The drainage OF our lands may and
will bring US more residents for the
farms, but there should be a greater
effort used to improve our farming
methods so as to get the best results
from the same land now in use.
Give us more thrifty, energetic and
capable farmers and there need be no
fear Of the business, industrial and
commercial interests.

and he speaks only as a candidate. He
assumes to lead faction, and when he
speaks Of the organized opposition
that may within two weeks authorize
a gentleman to represent it and, with
the Governor, arrange new primary
plan, he, in effect, says there shall be
but two entries in the list 10 do battle
to the death.
The Governor S challenge is really, as
we have before taken occasion to say,
made to a straw man. No one, under
the conditions stipulated. is empowered
to accept il. When analysed, it looks
like mere play Of politics. 1t gives his
political enemies the opportunity TO call
him a four-husher, and such other
delectable appellations as may signify
insincerity and which political cam
paigns usually bring into use.
The only proper thing to do is to be
genuinely fair. The primary plan as
now proposed is one-sided and has the
appearance Of an attempt to establish
a compact machine that may control all
the offices in the State. 1t should be
and thecommittee the only
constituted authority, should meet OF
its own accord and eliminate the OBJ
noxious features of the plan. 1t may
be considered too late to effect any ma
terial change in the attitude of the OPP
position within the party by change
OF the plan, but il this be true the COM
mittee is to blame. II should have
adopted a fair Democratic plan at first,
but not having SO done, it should, il it

view, have fastened to amend the plan
