The Suffering Potato.

From the New York Herald.
American farmers are warned by
the department of agriculture to
watch for a new potato malady,
which has developed into a plague
in Europe. The "black scab, 3"
'warty," or "caulifower" disease,
starting in Hungary in 1896, has
seriously infected Ireland, England,
Germany, Scandinavia, France and
Italy. 1t appeared on the North
American continent last year in
Newfoundland. The keenest look
out must be kept, for where the dis
ease has taken hold no healthy tu-
bers will develop. So insidious is the
plague that it not only renders all
the soil of a field diseased, but bits
OF dirt clinging to the boots or i'm
plements of Farmland may carry
the pest to uninfected areas There
after the ground will produce I'M
sound crops for number of years.
unless an intelligent system of crop
rotation is used to heal the soil
Diseased potatoes should invariably
be burned-or, if too wet to burn,
should be buried in hole and COW
cred with unslaked lime. Seed DO
tatoes should never be taken from
ailing crops. If the seed is sus-
pected, it should be powdered with
sulphur and stored away until
planted. Farmers should cooper
ate with the department of agricul-
ture by reporting any appearance
of the disease, so that it NAV be
Kept from fastening itself into
American soil.

WONDERFUL UNDERTAKING.

Walter Wellman-newspaper man,
author and explorer-who several
days ago started from New York on
a journey across the Atlantic ocean
in a dirigible balloon, was, with his
six companions, picked up three days
later from his life boat off the coast
of North Carolina many miles out of
his course. Although his first et-
fort has come to naught Mr.. Well
man announces that he will make
another and he hopes a more sue
cessful attempt to cross the ocean.
1t is fully as important and fasci-
mating an undertaking as any man
has assayed 1t is hardly as advent
urOus. all of the conditions con-
sidered, as the voyage of Columbus
from Palos, yet if accomplished 1t
will be a bold and remarkable feat.
Before another year passes the
aeroplane will be utilized CONNER

ing to admit, and more and more

cation and progress, and end forever
conflicts between nations by wars.

A Sermon on Home Trade Loyalty.
From The Lynn (Mass.) News.

No word appeals more strongly to
the average person than loyalty. We
all love to be spoken of as loyal to
family, friends, country and to our
ideals. We should also include our
home city.
There is no doubt of our sincerity
in this, and we would feel very much
offended were it questioned, but is
this loyalty always of the right sort;
is it intelligent and active, or is it
sometimes a sentimental and pleas
ing fancy with which we delude our
selves?
The happiness of the people of a
city depends largely on the prosper
ity of the community as a whole, and
this prosperity depends in part upon
the amount of money circulating
there. The more money the people
send away for things they can buy
from their own merchants the poor
or the community will become and.
conversely, the more they spend at
home the more the place will thrive.
Do those who patronize distant
mail order houses ever think of the
harm done? If all the good people
in Boston, for instance, should ig-
more the local merchants and for one
year buy all their supplies in Chi
cago, Buffalo and New York there
would be For Sale signs on the
city hall, the public library and the
old North church. The same princi-
pie applies to all communities.
Patronage of home merchants is
the life of a city. These mail order
houses by Offering attractive (?)
premiums with Indifferent goods
have drawn from us large amounts
of money, which, if spent at home,
| would have helped to pay for schools,

SOME sCATHING SATIRE.
The New York World Scorches the
Hide OF Teddy Roosevelt.

Here is a piece of scorching,
scathing satire from the New York
World. Every paragraph Ut it
scorches the hide of Roosevelt as
with hot iron:
In New York state" remarked
Roosevelt at st. Louis, what calls
itself democracy consists in reality
of an unholy alliance between Wall
street and Tammany Hail.
Good for Mr.. Roosevelt! Bully
Everybody knows how Tammany
squeezed that 100000 out of E. H.
Hartman in the closing days of the
1904 campaign. Hartman boosted
that by means of this money 60
600 votes were turned in the city
of New York. making a difference
of 100000 votes in the general re-
suit"
Everybody knows how Tammany
got $150,00O of the policy-holders
money from the three big hfe-in-
surance companies.
Everybody knows how Standard
Oil contributed 100000 to Tam
many.
EVERYBODY knows how Tammany
took Mr.. Cortelyou out of the cabi-
net, where he was investigating cor
porations, and made him chief col
lector of campaign tribute
Everybody knows how one of J..
Pierpont Morgan's partners helped
Tammany collect the campaign fund
and how the fat was fried out of the
beef trust, steel trust, the coal trust,
the paper trust, the railroads and the
national banks.
Everybody knows how Tammany
commanded 100000 worth of trans
portation and entertainment from
the Pennsylvania railroad, and how
Tammany turned the United States
treasury over to Morgan and Rookie
Teller during the 1907 panic.
1t is amin spiration to hear the
clear, strong voice of Theodore
Roosevelt denouncing this wiked al
lance between Tammany and Wall
street

paving, lighting and general civic
Improvement. Outside business
houses do not pay any part of our
city taxes
But business is business" some
say. Yes, but business is more than
that; it is reciprocity, and it should
be apparent to everyone that bust
ness dealings with those who are
working for the same local interests
as ourselves will be far more pro-
ductive of good than trading with
people who are far away; who buy
nothing from us, and whose only in
terest in our community is the
amount of money they can get out
OF it.
Do you recall when times have
been hard that these mail order
houses ever extended you credit to
help you over the hard place? VIII
they? Not in a thousand years-it's
money down or no goods. The local
merchants are the ones to whom we
must then turn for assistance. but
how can we do so with good grace
or reason unless we support them in
prosperous times?
They are alert, Intelligent and pro-
gressive, and if given the opportu-
nifty will sell better goods at the same
or lower prices than the mail order
houses can or will and deliver them
at once-no express charges, no
long delays, no disappointments. i.
Let use cease, then, enriching a
few people in whom we have no
sort of interest at the most lasting
injury to our our own community.
Try supporting our own home bust
ness for a time.
Surely loyalty, in this instance
means spend your money at home.

THE WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS.

tuberculosis is the theme of an
''aIl-south'' campaign which opened
in jackson, Miss, Monday with
the American Exhibition of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
Within the past two years almost
every large city east of the Missis-
sippi and south of the Ohio
has been stirred to activity in the
war against consumption as a result
of the crusade that has been carried
ON In Georgia, North Carolina,
Florida, Alabama and Virginia
state sanatoriums for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected or
ur0yiiled for. Local sanatoriums pro-
vidfng for the treatment of hundreds
of patients have been established In
fourteen cities in seven different
states. Special tuberculosis dispen-
saries for the instruction and relief
of needy consumptives have been
emf states. Four states and forty-siX
local associations for the prevention
of tuberculosis have been organized;
three in Alabama; one in Florida;
five in Georgia; seven in Kentucky;
ten in North Carolina; nine in South
Carolina; four in Tennessee; six in
Virginia, and five in West Virginia.
AT the beginning of the 'all-south'
campaign "a little over two years ago
there were not more than six centers
in the south where the anti-tubercu-
Iosis movement had aroused any &C
tivity In addition to the special
aufi-tuberculosis agencies enlisted in
this work health boards, women s
clubs, churches, business associa-
tions, labor unions and schools have
all Joined hands in a gigantic eff
fort to reduce the large annual losses
from consumption.
The News has frequently printed
2iterBture emanating from the office
of the National Association for the
Stmdy and Prevention of TuberculO-
sis, an organization that represents
an essentially useful and helpful
movement and is sustained by men
and women the country over who APP
preciate the imperative need of in
te1ligent and concerted effort to check
the UaVages of consumption. Some
of those who contribute are people
of 9nudeCate means, poor people, in
fact, who have seen the blight of
the dread malady, and may have felt
it in the circle of loved ones. The
movement is in charge of persons of
high standing men and
Iaymen-and the wonder is that so
many persons of means all over the
land who might lend a helping hand
do not seem to see the duty or
privilege of doing SO. The rapid, the
fearful growth of consumption in
the United States is simply appalling
1T is a matter that concerns all.

MARKETING CORN ON THE HOOP

From the Atlanta Constitution.
A vision of the time when Georgia
will be a great cattle-growing state,
and when beef will be raised at
home, and corn marketed on the
hoof, has been seen by Governor
Brown
In recent interview with repre-
sentative of the Constitution Govern
or Joseph M. Brown, in enthusiastic
discussion of his plans for develop
ing his Cherokee county farm, said;
There are 100000 acres of land
in Georgia today that could be made
to support many thousand head of
beef cattle every year"
Instead of Georgia farmers produc-
ing IA or Is bushels of corn to the
acre, worth so or even 80 cents a
bushel, Governor Brown would have
them turn the product of their corn
fields and the grass of their wood
pastures into beef cattle.
Marketed as corn the yield of an
acre would bring 81 to So. Marketed
as beef the product of the same land
would net SIS or $40.
This is not an academic discussion
of what might be done, but a succinct
statement of what has been done by
the states present chief executive.
Governor Brown discusses railroads
and corporations with seriousness
and exactness, but he discusses
crops and beef culture with enthu-
siam and animation. To building
up an ideal north Georgia farm he
will give his undivided attention on
his retirement.
Georgia has the climate for open
pasture nine months out of the
year; almost every valley has it's
creek bottom where corn grows
luxuriantly; pasture land abounds,
and beef cattle would thrive with
the minimum of barn protection and
winter feeding.
The Constitution has preached
beef culture in season and out of
season. 1t is glad to point to so
prominent an exponent of it's doctrine
as the present occupant of the execu
tive office.
Once the farmers of this state be-
come interested in the subject, and
make an intelligent and active start
in raising beef the problem of liv-
ing at home will be simplifled, and
prosperity will be achieved along
with independence of the one crop
which either makes or breakes the
majority of southern farmers every
year.
For 100000 acres in Georgia
beef's the thing.

THE wEEvIL A BLESSING.

The progressive and aggressive
boil weeyil, according to a news
paper statement, has cut $35, 100000
from the value of Louisiana's cotton
crop, the output falling from
100000 to $15,0OO,OOO. But,
nevertheless, it is said the state has
not lost anything thereby.
simultaneously, and through ne
cessity, agricultural enterprise, en-
couraged by government experts and
enlarged reclamation of marsh lands,
has increased Louisiana's annual
revenue from corn production to
nearly $65, 100000 in 1910 from $4,-
100000 or $5,O0O,OOO a few years
ago; yet the corn industry of the
Pelican state is till in it's infancy.
Where the farmers of louisiana
two years ago looked upon the
invasion of the boil weevil as a
curse they now regard the little pest
as a boon. This, in view of the near
approach of the weevil to Georgia
should reassure and encourage the
farmers of this state.

The Passing of the Dime Museum.
From the Youths Companion.
One of the most famous dime mu-
seums in the country, an institution
which had thrust it's freaks and
curiosities before New Workers for
a generation or more. passed out of
existence the other day. It's exhibits
were sold at auction, and its doors
were closed. The cause, of course,
was lack of patronage.
The incident is interesting as
showing the decline, almost the ex-
tinction, throughout the whole coun-
try of what was once a popular and
well-patronized place of entertain
ment. The dime museum no longer
attracts, and therefore it dies.
In very real sense the change
means an improvement in public
taste and mental health. The dime
museum was an Inheritance from
the middle ages, when the mass of
people were ignorant and easily di-
verified. 1t was a lineal descendant
of the little travelling shows which
followed the course of country fairs !;
or perhaps it may be traced even
| farther back, to the cripple who
showed his twisted foot for a far
thing, or the beggar who lived by
displaying the sores on his body.
The foundation of the dime mu-
scum was the abnormal and, there
fore, often the hideous and repul-
sive. The great prize was always
natures most terrifying freak. The
atmosphere of the place was morbid,
and to any one of intelligence or
sensibility depressing. The coup-
try is better off without it.
The moving pictures and low
priced vaudeville theaters are re-
sponsible for the change One need
net be a puritan to feel that in these
more modern and successful places
of entertainment there is much that
is cheap and vulgar, and that ought
to be displaced; but on the other
hand one need not be a visionary
optimist to see that both are better
than the old dime museum, and both
are improving all the time.

OUTCOME Is DOUBTFUL.
Florida Man Says Prohibition Cam

FLORIDA Man says prohibition Cam
paign is Exceedingly Warm.
The outcome of the fight between
the prohibitionists and the anti-pro-
hibitionists in Florida is very doubt
full, said Mr.. Roy Phillips of Baker
County Florida, in speaking of the
situation in this regard in that state.
The election to determine this point
will be held in the near future.
The fact that both sides are deter
mined to carry the approaching cleo
ton and to this end are making a
strong fight has made the situation
doubtful, he said. The prohibitions
it's and the anti-prohibitionist are
corralling their forces all over the
state with the determination of poll
ing large number of votes, he said.
Those who are watching the cam
paign are unable to state with any
precision just what the result will be.

cording to the republican theory all
good flows to us as the result of
