OSBORN EoR SECOND TERM.

OoDOHN FOh oGNONO Ehm.
There can be little doubt that Gov
ernor Chase s. OsBurn viii be re-nom-
mated for a second term. He assum-
cd office with definite policies and bent
on practical and necessary reforms. He
mas done all man could 10 carry in
70 effect the plans or which he is the
advocate. which have been heartily
endorsed by the people Of this state
Governor Osborn has an excellent
record Of achievement but owing 10
opposition within the ranks OF the
members Of the party in the legisla-
ture he failed TO realize some Of his
hopes along the lines OF economy and
reform.
Under the circumstances Governor
Osborn may decide. in response to a
general demand from all quarters Of
the state. that duty directs him to ac-
cept another nomination in order that
the people may have an opportunity
Of electing representatives in accord
with his views and devoted 10 his
policies. which are directed with tae
sole purpose Of the beiterment "
Michigan.
In a recent interview Governor os-
born said:
Il am not a candidate for governor
Of the state for a second term.
Il do not mean by this that ! will
retire from politics. for ] have always
taken a hand in the game and always
viii be in the ranks. However. take
keen interest in state affairs and /
believe that its the duty Of every
citizen Of our great state to take such
an interest.
When l was elected governor / en-
tered upon my duties with determin
alton to do something for the state.
and / must say that am thoroughly
enjoying the progress that is being
made, despite the attempts OF a num-
Der r. make The task a.. dimsgIt for
me as possible
i could never, and DO not yet. see
why IT Is not the desire Of all officers
II the state to better the government
conditions. instead Of letting selfish
desires enter. into the business Of the
state. Yop are as weH aware as
am OF the things uhat have been
brought 10 bear to hamper my admin
stration, and while I do not mind IT
70 the least, the state suffers by IT.
Everyone will agree that there was
need VI retrenchment ana economy at
he opening Of my administration, in
rider that state finances might be re-
aired. Just why there should be such
irenuous efforts TO prevent this re
renchment can be explained except
My by personal jealousy and objec- ,
Ion because lack VI funds reduced the

hines.

The important island of Rugen, in
the Baltic Sea, which has belonged to
Prussia since 1916. Is being so. rapidly
worn away by the action of the sea
that Prussia has had to assert her
rights of eminent domain and take
measures TO prevent the island from
being gradually washed into the sea.
Large sums have been spent by the
state I'm planting trees along the coast
and in getting the dunes soddcd with
panic grass. Those parts of the coast
most seriously threatened have been
protected by strong stone walls. Until
recently II frequently happened that
after a storm the coast line would be
found TO have retreated in places as
much as hundred and fifty feet. This
work of the state does not affect the
private ownership OF the dunes ana
beaches.
Though planted by the state, the
trees become the property of the prI-
Vate land owners and may later be cut
down with the consent Of the state
Forestery Department: but in this case
other trees must be set out by the
land owner.

No test 90 human endurance from
the physical standpoint can compare in
severity with that imposed upon the
workers in the steel and iron mills Of
the Pittsburg district. BY n singular
paradox an idea prevails among the
workers themselves that these labors
Of theirs are healthful. Tho whole
subject has Just been investigated with
pains and thoroughness by the expert
Of the New York state department Of
labor. John A. Fitch, who finds the
workers for the most part healthy. but
he suspects that this excellent physical
condition is due 20 the precautions ia
ken by the men, and not to the capac-
ity they possess for withstanding the
terrific strain to which they are sub
iected daily. The severity OF the strain
Itself is due TO the incredible heat. i'm

dous Of all physical tests TO which the
human organism Is subjected in any

or the Recorder being pronounced
that he should pay fine of $50 or

himself from his seat and started
over with the intention of speaking
TO MS sister who was in the corner

would have been satisfied with seeing

so unnerved and had not the voice of
Policeman McKagen, telling him TO
go back to his seat, even more un-

voice he was startled and iumped
right through the door Of the Police

INSTITUTE A BIG SUCCESS.

Colorcd Farmers Institute and pic.
nae Held at Horatio Friday and
Saturday.
The coiored farmers picnic and
institute was a success.
The Sumter County Farmers
Union met at Horatio last Friday
and Saturday. Many farmers from
all parts Of the county were present
and adjoining counties were repre-
sented. All were benefited by the
teaching and lectures. The expert
Inent station was one OF the princi.
pal features Of the picnic. Twelve
different cotton seeds and different
corn seeds were planted In one field
With about the same grade Of land
md tho same manuring. The kinds
~ cotton seeds were as follows: The
Money Maker. the Toole. Hites pro-
inc. the Bates. Cooks big boil, the
Russell big boil. Browns Peterkin,
wilt Resisting. Latents improved,
The Moses. The Bank Account. Ken
nan Long Staple and the Colum bia
Long Staple. The kinds OF corn seed,
are as follows: Dr. simmons Straw
berry, Aldrich Perfection. Sanders
Improved. Charley Sanders Selected,
Hudson. Marlboro Prolific and Jerry
Moore. These several seeds were
planted for the benefit tf the farm
ers that they might see the seeds
grow and compare thera with one
another. Many will change their
seed another year and get higher
grade. The farmers also saw, soy
beans. velvet beans and iron peas.
Such legumes build up land and
prevent blight. l would advise that
every farmer use such legumes as
the blight Is spreading more and
more each year. The farmer can
make just as much forage and grain
as from any other legume and at tho
same time prevent and take many ais-
eases out OF the land Both white
and colored farmers are visiting TIE

ncial results. The principal lnstric-
