CONTINUANCE GRANTED
IN TOO LATE" BABY CASE

]. c. Starr has received a letter
from Washington, d. c., stating that
the Gritts injunction case against the
too late Cherokee children, enrolled
on the new born roll in the Cherokee
nation under the Curtis act of April
26, 1906, which was set for hearing
on March 1st 1911, has been continu-
ed until March %, 1911. 1t is now un-
derstood in Washington that another
injunction suit will likely be filed in
the mean time, the first suit probably
not being in as good shape as the
Gritts bunch desire, and that it seems
that the real purpose is to delay the
matter and that the second injunction
suit will have for its real object the
procurement of more delay.

Atlanta, Ca, Mar. 10.-The salava-
ton of the south agriculturally lies in
the conservation of her soils through
proper cultivation and the improve
ment of transportation facilities, in
the opinion of Victor H. Olmsted, chief
of the bureau of statistics of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
who addressed the Southern CONNER
cial Congress today.
Mr. Olmsted declared that in con
serving her soils, the south must make
intelligent and economical use of fer
tilizers there needed, rotate her crops,
and select the best varieties of seeds
and plants obtainable.
Good roads," said Mr.. Olmsted,
"also must be the shibboleth in every
section and community, so that the
increasing volume OF products can be
handled and delivered to shipping
points at the lowest possible expense
The increase of railroad facilities
must, and will, undoubtedly, follow
and the south will thus secure pre-
eminent position as a wealth producer
and take first rank as contributor to
the nations progress and prosperity
Already the south has emerged
from a period extending over many
years of diseouraging depression into
a condition of abeunding prosperity
and is contributing more than auy
other single section 10 the agricultural
wealth of the nation.
81 am going to call your attention
in partial proof of the foregoing state
ment, to the recent figures issued by
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor. During
the seven months OF the current fiscal
year closing with January 81, 1911
the total value of exports from the
United States exceeded the value oi
the total imports by $363,0O0,000 Dur
ing the same period the value OF cot
ton exported was $443,OOO,00O Hat

nations salable surplus-there would
have been no excess in value Of ON

There would have been a deficit
