ROTTEN DEMOCRATIC GOVERN
MENT.

We publish In another column an
article clipped from the editorial col
umns Of the Waynesyille Western
Carolina Enterprise
That paper charges that certain
county officers OF that Democratic
county have been using their Official
positions 10 make contracts with
themselves and to otherwise put
money in their own pockets in viola
ton OF law. The Enterprise calls at
tention to Section 1872 of the Re-
visal of 1905. and shows that their
conduct Is In direct violation Of the
law, and that they are guilty OF
criminal offense. The Enterprise
warns them to stop their unlawful
conduct and threatens to publish
their names and demand that they
be indicted by the grand jury If such
corruption in Office Is not stopped.
We think the Enterprise would be
justified in publishing their names
without giving such warning. Even
If there were no laws on the statute
books prohibiting such conduct, it
would be the duty of public journal
to denounce men who would in this
way betray the people by committing
what is nothing less than an act of
treason against the taxpayers.
1t may be that these county Off
GERS are ignorant of the law, and
that they have been misled into such
treacherous conduct by seeing more
prominent Democratic officials guilty
of similar conduct. When Demo-
cratic county officials see a Demo-
cratic member of the Legislature,
who is acting as attorney for rail-
road corporation while serving in the
Legislature; when they see Demo-
cratic congressman and other promi-
nent Democratic officials taking fees
as attorneys from public service cor
poratfons or trusts, whose official
duty to the city, county or State will
come squarely in conflict with the
interests of such trusts and corpora
tions, and a Democratic organ like
the Raleigh News and Observer says
nothing about such base and dis
honest conduct on the part of Demo-
crat officials, it is natural for the
smaller Democratic pie-counter fell
lows to follow the examples of the
bigger members of the party ma
chine.
Such conduct on the part of public
officials is an act of treason" against
the people of the town, city, county
or State. Such TRAITORS" should be
indicted and convicted, if there is a
law covering their treachery and be-
trayal But it is not a part of the
machine Democratic good govern
ment" to expose, denounce and pun
ish Democratic treason.

A TRUST-OWNED LEGISLATURE
AND ITS LAST ACT OF PERFIDY
AND DISHONOR.

When bill was pending before
the last Democratic Legislature to
enact the Texas antitrust law, the
editor of the Raleigh News and OBJ
server laid on the backs of the mem
bers Of the Legislature it's boss
party lashwhip with considerable
vigor. In one editorial while that
measure was pending in the Senate,
that paper said:
Upon the action in the SEN
ate in this one measure depends
the record of this General As
sembly.
Tt is up to the Senate to
to make a record that will pro-
tect independent concerns, pre-
vent destruction of competition,
and prevent the continued sway
of trusts and monopolies.
The people look to the Senate
with hope to keep the pledges
made in the platform and on
the stump and to justify their
faith in Democratic promises"
Thus we see that the party organ,
in the closing days of that Legisla-
ture, made definite threat that the
Legislature would be finally judged
by its action on that one measure
and notice seemed to be served that
that paper would denounce all who
dared to vote otherwise. That pa
per knew that unless the Democratic
Legislature passed that measure, il
would show that it was not in favor
of curbing trusts and preventing the
destruction of competition, and that

Friday, March "a, 1911.
1t was certified copy of an act
passed by the last Democratic Leg
islature appointing twenty-five Dem
ocratic magistrates for the term of
six years each for Sampson county.
This was done in the face of a ma
jority of 1900 votes. Contrary to
every principle of justice and right
and fair dealing and this act will be
and should be condemned and look
ed upon with utter disgust and con-
tempt by every honest and upright
citizen of Sampson county and our

It Ii noticeable that the majority

stood with Speaker Clarke and House
Leader Underwood. There II. how
ever. one paper in North Carolina
that has come out az the bold cham
pion and defender OF Senator Sim

boro Daily News.
That paper. In replying to the crit
icism in the Democratic press of Mr..
Simmons course. says:
What Is any Senator Demo-
crat or Republican, who Is
thoughtful man and capable OF
leadership, drifting away from
when he follows his convictions
and eourageously stands by

F.! It will be seen that the Greens
bcro Daily News agrees with Mr.
/ Simmons, and that Speaker Clarke
and Leader Underwood are guilty of
| indulging in chaotic clamor." Sem
ator Simmons could not have written
these words any better for patting
himself on the back. He must be
| pleased in getting endorsement Of
| ''his patriotic courage" from this
quopdam Republican paper.
The News, however, does not pre-
| tend any longer, We believe Except
/ in private letters to Republican sub
scribers) to claim to be a Republi-
can paper. It's now posing as an
independent paper" and as such is
doing it's manful duty as the person
al organ of Senator Simmons and
Mr. E. C.. Duncan.
The editorial in the Greensboro
Daily News, in defending and prais-
| ing Senator Simmons as the expon-
ent Of pure Democracy, closes with
| this sentence:
How can man stand with

where the party stands? Is Mr..

party? and is Champ Clarke the

/. Thus we see that this Simmons

fling at Speaker Champ Clarke, but
also at President Taft.

has served to again call attention to
one of the oldest ships of the navy
now in commission. The vessel is to be
stripped of guns and equipment and
will be used as a target for the big
guns of the fleet This will be the first
time the American gunners in time OF
peace. ever had a real ship on which to
train guns Usually a target consisting
of an anchored canvas screen, has been
used and naturally the gunners are
anxious to test their aim on an actual
vessel
Has Been Receiving Ship.
For some time past the Texas has
been used as a receiving ship at the
Charleston Is c. navy yard. Along
about the first of April she will be
towed to the shallow water Of the
capes of Chesapeake bay TO enter in
the last act of her career, when the
annual target practice of the battle
ship fleet commences.
Firing will be conducted at a range
of from 5000 to 10000 yards and the
effect of projectiles when striking the
armor plate and also the effect Of I'M
der water hits will be noted. Ordnance
experts are anxious to ascertain what
effect the water will have on the flight
of a projectile which strikes the sur
face before reaching the vessel and
which takes a downward course to-
wards the hull of the ship. Similar ex-
periments are now in progress in the
British navy, it is said.
Historically the following may be
said about the old Texas which taken
in comparison with the new ship Of
that name well shows the progress in
battleship building in the United States
navy in the past % years:
Commissioned in 1898.
The vessel was authorized by the
49th congress in 1885, and was put IN
commission August Is. 1895. The trial
speed developed was 17.S knots. 1t cost
S4,202,121.49. What the 40 cents was
for, the records do not state The gov
eminent navy yard at Norfolk was the
builder. 1t had total length of 30S feet,
10 inches, a breadth on the water line
of "a feet. one inch, a mean draft of p
feet, six inches, and a tonnage of 6315.
Thirty officers and AIS men were need
ed to man the vessel The main battery
consisted of two II inch guns, six six
inch rapid fire guns, with a secondary
battery of IA six pound rapid fire guns
and three one pound guns and no to-
pedo tubes. The armor had a maximum

The New Texas.
The neY Texas, officially known in
naval circles as battleship No. IS, for
she has not been formally named yet
will be a fighting machine of which
the entire nation as we'll as Texans
may well be proud. The vessel together
with No. "a, was authorized by act of
congress June "a, 1910, and the con-
tract was let last December. The con-
tract price limit for the hull and ma
chinery alone is $4,000, 900. The COM
plement will be So officers and 1909
men. The length over all will be 573
feet, with a breadth at water line of
50 feet IL inches, and a mean draft
of % feet, six inches. The normal ton
mage will be $1,000 tons. The contract
requires maximum speed Of 81 knots

The new warship marks an import
ant departure in naval construction not
only in the United States, but In all
naval powers. She will be the first
modern fighting vessel to carry IA inch
breech loading guns instead Of the IL
inch guns almost universally used. This
change was made only after exhaustive
tests had demonstrated conclusively
that the larger guns had a much
greater destructive power and geater
wearing qualities due to a lesser We
loefty. Then 10 II inch guns Will be
placed along the center line in the
same manner as in other modern ships

FIELD OF MAMMOTH SOY BEANS IN NORTH
CAROLINA,
! lFron bulletin of United States DEPART
ment of agricultural
southwark. They have been tested at
most of the state agricultural expert
ment stations, and it Is clear that their
region of maximum Importance will
be south of the red clover area and
in sections where alfalfa cannot be
grown successfully. They thus COM
pete principally with cowpeas, but as
cultivation is usually required they
fill somewhat different agricultural
need. Their culture has greatly in
creased in recent years, especially in
Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia,
Maryland, Kentucky and the southern
part of Illinois and Indiana. 1t seems
certain that the crop will become one
OF great importance in the regions men
toned and probably over much
wider area. The earlier varieties ma
ture even in Minnesota, Ontario and
Massachusetts.
AS hay plant the soy bean cannot
successfully compete with red clover
or alfalfa.
The soy bean is especially adapted
to the cotton belt and northward into
the southern part Of the corn belt. The
early varieties mature in the northern
part of the corn belt. but frequently
do not make a sufficient yield to war
rant growing them. Farther south,
where the later and larger varieties
can be grown, the yield Is sufficient to
make their extensive cultivation very
profitable. Generally speaking. the soy
bean requires about the same tempera-
ture as corn. 1t Is perhaps even bet
ter adapted to warm climate and
does not do well in n cool climate.
The soil requirements of soy beans are
much the same as those of corn. They
will make a satisfactory growth on
poorer soil than corn, provided moe
ulation is present, but will not make
nearly as good n growth on poor soil
rs cowpeas. Soy beans make their
best Development on fairly fertile
loams or clays. The Mammoth varie-
ty also succeeds well on sandy soils.
On rich soils all varieties are apt to
make large plant growth and com
paratiyely small yield of seed and on
the poorer soils a small plant growth
with relatively large seed yield.
Soy beans do not require well
drained soil for their best develop
ment, although they will not grow In
soil where water stands for any con
siderable length of time. However,
they are able to withstand greater
amount Of moisture than either corn
or cowpeas.
Soy beans are also decidedly drought
resistant, much more so than cowpeas,
and but for the depreda lions OF rab-
bits would be valuable crop In the
semiarid west. Rabbits are exceed
ingly fond of the foliage, and where
they are numerous 1t Is nearly use
less to plant soy beans unless the field
can be inclosed with rabbit proof fenc-
Ing

ed In getting small early variety
