has tried and tried again to get together
in cooperative effort and as a rule only
few are interested and sometimes q
very few.
There can be no community success
without CO cooperation and a people who
do not pull together can never attain
the results possible in concerted effort.
We have much 10 learn but one of our
hardest lessons is TO be that of working
for the common good and learning that
in the uplifr of all the individual is
bound 10 prosper. No one man or few
men can do much by themselves, they
may start but unless the whole class or
people get behind and push, the load
will soon roll back to the foot of the
hill.
1--WE don't like to say these things
but 1t becomes duty once in while
to talk plainly. We much prefer to
praise, but when it is really necessary
we can cuss and it now seems to be nee
essarY. Our progress is not what it
ought to be and simply because of the
lack of co-operation-the duty of get
ting together and sticking to a thing
till it is done"

Railroads Join in Back Home Movement, &"

The industrial department of the Car
DINA, Cincbfield and Ohio Railway has
sent out from the company's Offices in
johnson City, Tenn. an invitation to
the industrial agents of Southern rail-
roads to meet in conference on the
back home movement" inauh urated
by the Clinchfeld.
BY this plan the latter has aroused a
new interest in the opportunities of the
South among former Southerners in the
west and northwest. 1t has gathered
the names and addresses of mapv hum
dreds of them, sending them literature
and appeals to return and make use of
the advantages that did not exist when
they left.
This effort of the ClinchfieId has met
with surprising response. A large num-

where they now live. Moreover. the
movement has been supported by the
people along the Clinchfield route in the
way of writing personal letters to
friends and relatives who have gone
west. This has, also, been the case in
communities on other lines of railroad
in the South; and now these railroads
are invited to avail themselves of the
good work begun by the Clinchfield. ex-

Just as the way to resume specie pay
ment was by resuming so the way to
build up town is by building. All the
"whereases, ''therefores'' and reso-

full what lot a few determined men

How The Best Results May be Obtained.

Notwithstanding the fact that great
progress Is being made in this age in
every line of human endeavor and that
no expense is being spared to bring
every process of manufacture or pro
duction it is hardly probable that ia any
industry is greater progress being made
by those who intelligently apply them
selves than in agriculture. There are
several reasons for the rapid advance
ment of the agricultural industry in this
section. In the first place the soil is
very productive when properly handled.
In the second place there has been so
little progress until just recently that
there is much room for improvement,
and in the third place the market for
all products of the farm is greater and
the prices igner than ever before, so
that there is greater incentive for the
study and work that results in greater
production.
The farmers of this section are BEGIN
ming to take to intensive cultivation
They are learning that it is easier to
keep 10 acres of land in tiptop shape
than 1t is to keep Is acres in the same
shape and that the same amount of fer
tilizer and with less work in MANY in
stances 10 acres will produce larger
yield than If the fertilizer and labor hsd
been scattered over a larger area. At
the same time he is learning that with
modern farm equipment one man with a
double team can produce as much and
sometimes more on a given number of
acres than two men with two mules and
two single plows and other antequated
equipment would produce.
The day of old-time farming is rapid
ly passing. In fact in most sections the
man who sticks to the old methods and
old ideas is regarded as behind the times
and when 1T comes 20 money making he
is not in the class with his more pro-
gressive neighbors. Deep ploughing.
narrowing and the pr, per preparation
of the soil for the various crops. heavy
fertilization and the intelligent cultiva-
ton of the growing crops are the prin-
cIpal secrets of the successful farmer
secrets that the best of our agricultural
papers have been trying to hammer in
to the heads of their readers for several
years now.
One farmer in Mecklenburg county
got an average Of two bales of cotton
to the acre from seven acres of land.
the cotton from these seven acres bring
ing approximately 81, 200 while the seed
brought an additional $780, Soil prepa-
ration, fertilizer and proper cultivation
did it. A neighbor of the same man
put SIG worth of fertilizer on one acre
of land and planted it in cotton. The
staple from that acre of land was sold
for little more than $3.50, while the
seed must have added $25 to $50 to that
sum. Soil preparation, SIG worth of
commercial fertilizer and proper Gull
tivation did it.

THE PROBLEM OF COUNTRY LIFE.

While the census returns show a graf
flying increase of population through
out the country they also show a steady
decrease in many rural counties, espec-
tally in tie middle west While this de-
crease is in part due to migration to
newer parts of the country it is due still
more to the incessant craving of city
life.
1t is generally admitted that this de-
pletion of rural districts to still further
congest already over-crowded cities is
not cool, yet SO far no way has been
found to check it. 1t was expected
that the installing of free mail delivery.
telephones and other advantages would
have the desired effect, but they have
, not.
This is all the more singular az the
ambition OF most people is 10 OVID land.
and the cry of back TO the land" voices
that ambition. And it is in that wav
and in the arresting of the tide city
ward the remedy is to be found, and
when found it will be attended with
many blessings for farmers and commu-
mites generally.
Many plans have been formed only to
be discarded as impractical, and yet it
is 10 some well digested organized meth
cd the way out will reveal itself.
Whether or not the plan of farm colo
MES advocated by the governor of Mis-
souri, and others who have made a spec-
ial study of the subject is the panacea,
only time can tell. Some may consider
it utopian, but it frequently happens
that that which in one decade is con-
demned as visionary is accepted as a
successful fact in the decade following
As to the above plan some useful data
is furnished by Great Britain in the
working of its small holdings act which
has been in operation two and half
years, and for which a further amount
of 92, 900 acres or 143 square miles are
to be set apart by the county councils,
with loan of $1,000, 900 by the local
government board. 1t is a suggestive
fact, that may be duplicated in this
country by some similar scheme, that
the plan where in operation has been
markedly successful and that it has also
increased the value of adjoining farm
property.

He WILL BE POWERLESS.

The Democrats are beginning to real
lie that they went too far in their fight
to revise the rules of the National
House of Representatives. In their eff
fort to get rid of what they called Can
nonism, they have deprived the Speaker
of the House of all power to control
legislation. The Speaker has been de
graded into mere perliamentarian OF
presiding officer; and it is announced
that the Hon. Champ Clark, of Missouri.
is so anxious to be made Speaker that
he is willing to accept the honorable
and responsible position, though to be
shorn of its former prestige and powers.
The gentleman from Missouri has stated
that he stands for the appointment of
the committees of the House by a COM
mittee rather than by the Speaker
This concession is the outgrowth of in
surgency among the representatives of
both political parties in Congress, and
its adoption is likely to bring about
more friction and dissension than has
heretofore existed. Another result will
be the opportunities such a rule will af-
ford insurgents and flhbusterers to
obstruct and prevent legislation they
may oppose and make the majority
helpless in the hands of minority.
Mr.. Clark some time ago announced
his intention when he was elected
Speaker to drive team of mules down
Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol.
This job, no doubt he will find an easv
one. But when he attempts to control
his wild herd of mules in the House
without halter, check-rsin or curb he
will find himself as helpless as a baby.
They will kick and bray and when he
attempts TO u the whip will turn
their heels upon him. Poor old Champ.

A few CUSS WORDS.

Under the above caption The South
west Times, of Pulaski, makes the fol-
lowing pertinent remarks anent the
corn show held there last Saturday.
Our own corn show would Indicate
there is none of the spirit in this county
of which they complain, but to be sure
we make liberal quotations from their
"cussing" so that we may all carefully
search ourselves and see if the article
may in any way apply to US:
cit is hardly probable that the corn
snow that was announced from time to
time to be held at the courthouse to-
morrow will materialize, or if there is
an attempt at one it will be surprising
if it will be worthy of the name.
Excepting perhaps few individuals
there has been absolutely no interest
taken in this effort to further the agri-
cultural advancement of the county and
the difference on the part of the farm
ers in the enterprise has been exceed
ingly painful to any one who takes a
pride in PulasAi's progress.
''This deplorable outcome of an effort
to do something for the aid and benefit
of the farmers only serves to illustrate
weakness or fault in our people that
will have to be overcome if they ever
achieve the best results in their laboes
or reap the reward of these labors that
they should. But this fault is a COM
mon one in this section and is also a
grievous one. For some reason there is
a spirit of suspicion or perhaps of jeal-
ousy that prevents our people from get
ting together in any cooperative pur-
pose, and striving with common cause
to seek the good of ali. There is appar-
emily disposition that amounts to sell
fishness and shows itself in an unwill-
ingness to cooperate in public move
ment that is intended as a benefit. II
would seem that each is afraid some one
else will get some good out of any such
effort that he does not get and is not
willing to make an effort unless there
is a certainty of personal reward or
compensation.
There is entirely too much DISPOSE
ton among our people to pull apart
rather than together and instead of be-
ing anxious to cooperate they seem
to prefer to stand aloof and let eyerv
fellow hoe his own row. If perchance
some few people do work for the COM
mon good and get movement started
that will benefit there are others who
crOak and predict failure or preach that
the enterprise ia of no value until they
finally discourage those who would do
more than strive to fill their
own bellies with husks.

ally selfish and narrow and we ought to
get it out of our lives. 1t has been
manifest in many ways and is truly dis

manned by able preachers receiving an
adequate salary, than to have larger
