Moorhead Department
MAY ADVERTISE
The EARLY OHIO
MooRHEAD COMMERCIAL CLUB
FORMULATING PLANS TO KEEP
CLAY COUNTY TO THE FORE IN
POTATO GROWING WORLD - A
NEW VARIETY CAUSES STIR.

The directors of the Moorhead Com
mercial club held brief meeting this
morning in the directors parlors of
the First National bank to consider
some matters pertaining to the public
growing industry of Clay county. The
inspiration for the meeting was an
article which recently appeared in The
Packer, a journal devoted to the pro-
duction and shipment of agricultural
and garden products The Packer, in
its article, made known the fact that
potato growers in the south and south
west have been attracted to new va
riety of seed, known as the Irish cob
bier later, which has been widely adj
vertised by growers of the Ohio valley,
and it is feared, reather to the detri-
ment of the Early Ohio variety which
for SO long has been so popular in the
south. One attractive feature set out
by the promoters of the Irish cobbler
is that it can be produced cheaper than
the northern grown Early Ohio, but it
Is conceded that it is not as good a
potato
Clay county growers do not believe
there is immediate danger of the Early
Ohio being sSlpplanted by the newer
variety of uncertain quality, but by
persistent advertising there is a pos
sible danger that the Clay county in
dustry may be given set back, tenn
porary or otherwise
With this in view, those interested
felt that the advertising Of the Early
Ohio was matter for the commercial
club of Moorhead to undertake, and
so President Huntoon called a meet
ing Of the directors Of the club this
morning to consider the matter The
subject was thoroughly discussed, and
while it was thought that there was
no special reason for alarm, there were
good reasons for taking time by the
forelock and do something more in the
way of nurturing very important in
dustry. Ways and means were dis
cussed for the advertising of the coun-
ty, and a proposition was formulated
which will be placed before the COM
mercial club at meeting to be held
Friday night at 1880 o'clock. Also in
all probability general convention
of potato growers and shippers will be
called to be held in Moorhead some
time early in January.

Grain Opinoins.

Finley Darrell: We continue to
feel that advantage should be taken
of all muscular and sentimental rallies
in order to make sales.
Logan e. Bryan: 1t is easy for the
weather indications to go wrong and
with many in the local trade out Of
their holdings wheat might easily have
rally from yesterdays depression.
Shearson, Hammill g. Co.: The wheat
market lacks trade and although sup
port is at times ministered there has
not been enough radical incentive for
inspiring any increase in speculative
commitments. Much higher on the
precipitation in the southwest.
Ware & Leland; Unless some new
stimulating influence. appears we in
cline to believe a lower range of wheat
levels will be witnessed.
]. Fl. Wrenn g. Co.: We still in
cline to the opinion that the long side
of the wheat market is the safest and
offers the most opportunity for radi-
cal change in prices.

Grain Letter.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.--Wheat: The
wheat market, after opening lower on
good general rains throughout the
southwest where drought has prevail
ed for some time and is now effect
ually broken, later advanced on buying
by local bulls on the higher closing
cables from Liverpool Trade was
rather light all day, and most all of
a local professional character. We
see nothing in the statistical position
to warrant the present level of values
and now that the drought in this
country has been effectually broken
prices should work lower. Europe Is
practically independent of us for her
surplus during the next six months,
and we have large surplus to dispose
of The big longs are evidently stand
ing pat" while the situation Is daily
getting more bearish, and will, in our
opinion, sooner or later result in q
lower range of values

Wheat Up.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.--Wheat cables un-
changed to * up. Strength came
from hullish Argentine estimate of
surplus and large decrease in the Eu-
ropean visible supply. Southwest has
had some rain and snow through parts
of Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio European requirements
must be large to take all the wheat
moving to them and still decrease
stocks so heavily. Don't think any
money be made selling May wheat on
soft spots rather buy 1t. Dennis.

Aikens Speech on Calhoun.

Time was when the word of John G..
Calhoun was the law of his constituents.
This place of high esteem was enjoyed by
Calhoun for the good reason that no pub
lie man was ever more sincere OF disin-
tcrcstcd in serving his people and the
nation; 10 man'h has a clearer insight into
the public affairs of his time and no man
has been endowed with equal logical
faculty of mind during his or any subse-
quent time.
So often has the nam Of Calhoun been
used by public speakers in the state, and
especially in Abbcville County, and so
little is really known of him by the South
Carolinian of to day, that men have
turned from the mention of his name al
most as a worn chestnut. This is unfair
to Calhoun and it is unjust to ourselves.
In many respects Calhoun is without a
peer among American Statesman. No
South Carolinian can afford to be ignorant
of his life and talents.
The speech of Congressman Aiken, at
the recent unwilling Of the Calhoun statue
in Washington, throws a flood Of light on
the life, character and work Of Calhoun.
We think it will prove of such interest to
the people of Abbeville County, that we
have printed it in full in this ISSUE of the
paper.

Still Intelligent and Refined.

The Columbia Record after copying the
bitter editorial Of The State about the
burning Of HARRISON College makes this
timely comment.
This is an arraignment of a community
and a race that can be justified only by
facts. Where are the facts?
There is absolutely nothing in the pub
lished accounts of this fire to warrant the
assertion that the incendiarism was the
work Of whites. Perhaps The State has
exclusive information as to the ~perpetra-
tors Of the outrage and knows them to
be white. In that case The State can do
the town of Abbeville and the State OF
South Carolina a service by turning over
that information to the proper authori-
ties Of the law.
Not only has there been nothing publish
ed to warrent the assertion that the in
cendiaries are white but the common be-
lief among the people Of Abbeville is that
they are not white; that the crime was
not the product OF race hatred" inten-
sified by a feeling Of jealousy awakened
by a vague sense of infcrior1ty in the
breast of the untutored white when he
sees the negro responding to the stirring
of ambition" That is a fine phrase which
would do credit to some uniformed
Northern magazine writer, but the belief
among the people of Abbeville-who may
have some reason for their beliefs that
the fire at HARRISON college was set by ne
groes, ~iealours perhaps of other mem
bers of their race or actuated by some
other motive. There are few, if any, in
Abbeville who think the fire was set by
whites.
Until it is made to appear probable that
the people Of Abbeville are mistaken in
this belief it might be well to Withhold the
indictment Of that community. 'once q

ApriI Fools.

There will be plenty of them Friday. BE

usual on this occasion, tie up the school
house bell in order to give the %janitor a
taste of April Fool, Sundry little lies and
gags will be afloat to catch the unwary
and crcdulous.
Forty years ago it was the custom OF
some of the bolder spirits to run of from
school OH April Fools day. To the branch
or creek they went and spent the time in
fishing or picnicing. The doors were barr
ed, the windows fastenep, and every pos
sible entrance to the school house BARR
caded so that the ~pedagoguc conld not
enter.
The black boards were flied with April
Fool poetry and prose Of the same variety.
Today chalk plays a large part in April
Fool exercises, but the custom of obser.
wing April FOOLS day is fast disappearing
Now and then it is INDUCED in but with
less and less frequency year by year.

The Indians Of Oklahoma are reported
10 be in q state burdering on rebellion,
They are extremely restve.
Years and years ago when the whites be-
gan to settle the West the Indians then
occupied the country, and had to be dealt
with. The Government in it's wisdom saw
best 10 make treaties with these Indians
thereby guaranteeing to them certain i'm
munities and protection, and on the other
hands exacting Of the Indians good be-
shavior and peaceful pursuits,
For many years these Indians lived at
peace under the terms of the treaties and
all went we'll In the Territory. Later the
Eterritory became ambitious to become a
state ann so Oklahoma joined the sister,
hood. While the treaties with the Indians
have not been declared null and void they
have become null and void, the State not
providing the protection and inmunities as
did the United States government. Each
Indian became a citizens Of the new
state with no more privileges or immuni-
ties than any white citizens.
Now the Indians wish to know what has
become OF the promises Of the Government
The Indian has been badly treated in
~treaties. He has man treaties with the
whites for 400 years andi the majority Of
cases the "pale face has broken the
treaties. :
The Indian usually did what he promis-
ed; the white man usually forgot his
his promises.
The government should see that the
treaties made with the Indians are e1-
ecuted to the letter, and II there was no
time limit to the treaties, there should be
no limit limit to the obligation Of the
Government.
