We have had diversification so per
sistently drummed into our ears that
we have come to accept it as our
means of salvation. 1t Is easy to see
that with cotton at IS or 20 or even
Is cents, and plenty of meat and
bread and forage grown at home, the
southern farmer who fails to get rich
must evidently have mistaken his vo-
cation. But a fifty million bale cot
ton crop wont leave much room 70:

duction of cotton keeps up with the
worlds demands, even if that increas-
es as DR.. Knapp predicts. We mus
expect continuance of the prices
that have ruled up to the present
time. AS an optimist Mr. Knapp
probably has no superior. In his Mem
phis speech he told his hearers that
Yazoo- Mississippi land was the most
valuable on the continent, and that

GUM. Every acre would have to do
double the duty required of it now.
1t has been demonstrated by the Will
hanson method that two ears of corn
can be made to grow where only one
grew before; and If the prediction of
DR.. KNAPP comes true it will be up to
the eight cotton growing southern
states not only to produce two bales
to the acre, but to put the fence corn
ers and ditch banks into commission.
Possibly the fifty million bales will be
a reality some day. No more interest
ing or profitable study than that of
scientific agriculture was ever pur-
sued, or one that yielded better re-
turns. 4a
The same principle which operates
so successfully in trucking and the
production of garden crops can be ap-
piled with equal profit to cotton.

DEFIANCE TO THE BOIL wEEvlL

DR.. Seaman Knapp, specialist in
agriculture, sent out by the Federal
Government to carry the gospel Of
scientific farming to the men behind
the pillow, hurls defiance at the boll
weevil and casts bomb into the
midst of the diversifiers by announc-
ing that in forty years the world will
require from the United States fifty
million bales of cotton per annum.
The cotton crop of America is
grown practically, in the eight south
ern states of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama. Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas.
At present the yearly yield is about
ten million bales. In order to produce

A new establishment in Hattiesourg
which IS rapidly forging to the front
is the T-a.l i-usic Store. Started only
about two months ago, the firm has
had a remarkable success, and has
had to place a number of renewal or

to keep the stock up. $4,5O0.OO worth

Conservatives" and Conservatism

The white people of Mississippi
when they rose in their might after
the war and flung black heels from
white necks and sent a crowd of car
pet baggers scurrying back across the
line, were not conservative II they
had been, the negroes would be filling
the offices, making the laws and rul-
ing the state right now.
James z. George was a radical. 1t
was his thought which disfranchised
the negro as voter,-and he was not
conservative" If he had been, he
would never have proposed the con
stitutional means of getting rid Of the
ignorant and vicious vote. The status
quo would have been preserved and
the negroes would still be in the sad
die.
Robert Fulton, with his steamboat;
Thomas A. Edison, with his wonders
of electricity,-the pioneers of rail-
reading, of publishing, of every line
Of human endeavor in which there
have been pioneers have been rad
icals." They opposed the established
order"
And what has conservatism" to Of
fer to the people?
1t means an acquiescence in the
reign Of the trusts. It means slav
ish submission to the will of Wall
Street. 1t means a continuance of a
robber tariff. It means the plumber
ing Of the government for the benefit
Of favored, few 1t means contin-
uance of the dominance of. Standard
Oil in the halls of congress. 1t means
special privileges for the few. It
means closing the door of hope to the
average man and giving a back door
chance to the pets of the rich and
powerful.
| 1t means the dominance of those
who have accumulated money. 1t
means a continuance in methods of
government more fitted to an autocra-
cy,-a despotism, than a supposedly
free country. 1t means that the peo-
pie are to continue to suffer the ills
of high prices, dear money and recur-
tent money panics whenever the fl
nancial magnates Of the east desire to
| squeeze them again.
1t means an acceptance of Aldrich
1 and Cannon and the trust leaders in
congress as our masters. It means
the delivering over Of our financial
system to them to manipulate. It
means the plundering of the treasury
for the benefit of little circle of con-
| scienceless rascals.
That's what Conservatism" means.
And any man who is against these
things is denominated radical"
Thank God for the radicals" of
history!
They have made the world what it
is to-day
The radicals" will make it better
than it is to-day.
The radical wants to advance.
The conservative wants to stand
still.
But to stand still is against all laws.

THINK HUGHES
WILL BECOME
CHIEF JUSTICE

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE next chief
justice of the supreme court probably
will be Charles e. Hughes. 1t is known
that President Taft has decided to ap-
point the ex-governor of New York.
The president has been inclined
toward Associate Justice Hughes from
the first, and the longer he has con-
sidered the available material the
stronger has become his belief that Mr..
Hughes is the mar for the place. The
president is still holding the appoint
ment open, but there Is no longer much
doubt that Mr.. Hughes will be named.
There has been q disposition In some
quarters to regard Mr.. Hughes as too
uncompromising and also a little too
progressive in his views for chief JUS
tice. The fyst criticism has been voiced
by one or two members of the presi-
dents cabinet, the second comes from
business men, who apparently had in
mind Mr.. Hughes stand for direct pri-
maries and similar legislation. The
president has carefully considered both
of these 81 called objections, but they
have not affected the favor with which
he regards New York states former
governor.
The president has satisfied himself
that Mr.. Hughes Is sound On funda
mentals-that Is, on his views OF the
constitution-and that consideration ii
placed before everything else in Mr.
Taft's selection of a member OF the su
preme bench.

To Punish Lynchers.

Austin, Tex, Nov. II. - Governor
Campbell will request the authorities
OF Edwards county, in which Rock
Springs is situated, to take action to-
ward ~arresting and Furnishing the men
who composed the mob that recently
burned at the stake the Mexican An
tonia Rodriguez for the murder of Mrs.
Lem Henderson, wife of a ranchman.
Rodriguez was a prominent member
of the revolutionary faction N the Rio
Grande border. He took part in the
bloody attack on Las Vacas, opposite
Del Rio, two years ago and fed TO
this side of the border to escape the
penalty for his acts. He was making
a trip through the country to get re-
cruits for the revolutionary organiza-
ton at the time he committed the
crime which led to his being burned
at the stake.
