Should Stand Together.

On joint ballot of the house and sen.
ate the standpatters have As votes, the
progressives have go votes and the dem
ocrats have 53 votes. From this, il is
easily seen that the progressives can
control the caucus unless the stand,

Ten Acre Homes.

Ten acres of good coast land well
drained, half in orange orchard and
half in garden and field crops, will
! make an industrious family independ-
ent. OF this there is no longer any doubt
in our minds We have seen it worked
out successfully too often to question it.
That being true, it is as certain as any
thing human can be that the coast lands
will in time reach an average cash
market value of $500 to $1,000 per acre.
There is no better savings investment
for the young man or woman in this
region than coast country soil at pres
ent prices. Southwestern Farmer.
Southwestern Farmer is eminently
correct, and that the American people
generally will come to realize at no
distant day that such is the case is the
belief of The Hustler. Many of them
are already interested in the Gulf
Coast country, of which our section is
the best, as is readily apparent upon
even casual examination.
Right here at Monte Christie we have
the choicest of all Texas land. Of this
there is no doubt We have the right
character of soil, the best quality of
water, and fine climate, and, to use
words of another, Possessing these,
any settler who is DESTROYS of succeed
ing. need but make proper effort in
order to dose. Hustler, Monte Christie,

Innovation on Railroad.

The Southern Pacific railway has to
provide for feeding $4,000 passengers
daily. To do this lunch cars are to be
run on all trains, the locals as well as
the limiteds, and the interior of the
cars will present much the anne APP

with the familiar revolving counter
stools. At one end will be the range
designated for the preparations of all
kinds of short orders, and it is the

these lunch cars provide most anything
and everything to be obtained in an

democratic majority, the south has 1877
members or enough to control. The

gress, due TO the habit of the south to

How and Why Explained.

The boys were shown not only how
but why corn needed the attention
they were giving it. The county of
ficials and school teachers scored the
competitions. The prizes were given
for high yield, low cost, the ten best
ears and written history of the crop.
The Governors of the States also
took an active interest in the compe-
titions, and instead Of four diplomas
of merit awarded by the Secretary of
Agriculture there were certificates
given by the Governors to all the boys
In the State who raised rs bushels
an acre and over at reasonable
cost The reasonable cost was figured
from the market price of corn. There
was one boy in the competition who
by his corn crop and the prizes won,
realized over 81 900 off his acre.
It was a common occurrence for
500 to 1000 people to witness the
awards of Is or 20 certificates at a
county seat. In one Mississippi coun-
ty As boys averaged so bushels per
acre. In one South Carolina county
20 boys produced 1,70O bushels of
corn on 20 acres. In another county
in the same State 142 boys averaged
81 bushels per acre.
This work is having much to do
with the increased averages of the
Southern States in corn production.
1t will have something to do with
reducing the cost of living also.

sorting wholesale revision Of the ta-
riff to be an "unmitigated injury to
the business interests Of the country
and ruinous to the party that under
takes them" Senator Lodge in
speech In the Senate took position in
a support of tariff amendment by SEE
tons.
The Massachusetts, Senator spoke
on a motion to refer the Cummins
Joint resolution to the Committee
on Rules. While expressing COM
plete concurrence in the purpose Of
the resolution, Mr.. Lodge differed as
to the plan to be pursued. The
House, he said, now had power to
bring in special rule to cut out
amendments. He believed the Sen
ate could adopt a similar plan.
therefore, he did not believe neces-
sary general law such as is contem-
plated by the Iowa Senator's joint
resolution.
MT. Lodge announced himself in
perfect accord with the Presidents
oeslre to obtain a tariff commission.

FRAUDS OF MANY KINDS

A Letter From Harnett County Tells
of Gross Irregularities In the Reg
neutrality-suspicious. Government
Officers Not Only Failed to Help
the Ticket, but Actually Did Harm
How We Could HAVE PolIed Ten
70 Twenty Thousand More Votes.
Continued from Last Week.
A letter from one of the men who
did probably as much as any other
man In Harnett County at the last
election for Republican victory says:
I'VE made good gains in Averes-
boro and Duke township and in 9TH
or townships in the county in the
face of conditions that were not
favorable, TO say the least. In other
townships where such unfavorable
conditions evinced themselves TO a
greater degree, we did not make
gains but seemed to make losses.
The fact is that We made gains prac-
tically everywhere, but losses were
In many places sustained greater
than the gains. These losses were
not Republican votes that were lost
to the Democratic party, but were
due to either fraud in the election or
to Republicans of a certain class
knitting the ticket by not working for
nj inact cfnufn0 of hnrnn
on the day Of election. In one town
ship, / understand that from 40 to
so votes were lost to US and added
to the Democratic columns by irreg-
ularities in registration. An election
irregularity OF this size in every
township in the State would more
than account for the whole Demo-
cratic majority in this county and in
the State.
"a thing which you probably
know, and which has occurred no
doubt generally all over the State,
but which ordinarily would sound
strange, is that the men who to-day
hold offices under the National Re-
publican Government did us no good
but actually did us harm. President
Taft has declared often, in a most
emphatic manner, his great interest
in building up strong progressive
Republican party in the South, but
he can never do it by keeping in~of-
fee the class Of men who did every
thing they dared to do to contribute
to Democratic success at the last
election. The President said in his
Greensboro speech that where the
public offices were held by such men
that it would be better for the party
IL such Offices were held by Demo-
Gratis, and that certainly would have
been true so far as I know and could
see in the last election. If these Of
fees were filled with men of stand
ing and character in each communi-
ty, who honestly wanted to advance
the principles of the Republican par
ty, we would have polled from ten
to twenty thousand more votes at
the last election, if we had not car
ried the State. I trust that Mr..
Morehead, our State Chairman, will
lose no time in presenting such facts
to the President and urge a prompt
change in the kind Of men who hold
positions of honor and trust under
his administration, to say nothing Of
a decent respect for the wishes Of
the Republicans in each community
and Of the Democrats who are con-
cerned about clean, efficient and re-
spectacle party service.
