The Travelling Accuser.

Hon. John Nj. Allen, the trav-
cling aceuser. cf James n Var
daman. will do s. me accusing to-
morrow at the County Court
House. Judge Blount was una
voilably kept from meeting him
At this place, and Mr. Aline will
reiterate the empty charges a

III energy
Tire old straw that he will
fan out has been threshed ever
so often that it has turned to
chaff. and before long will be
beaten into powder and blown
to Oblivion. If it is the purpose
Ut the common cause crowd to
smirch the character of Mr.. Var
iam1n. the speed,est way to ac-
cGmpl.sh if, would be to arraien
him in the courts. confront him
with evidence and give him 4
fair trial, as provided by law
This they would DO if they had
my evidence, but without that
they hope to prejudice the mind
It the people and thus elect Z
secret caucus candidate to tn,

en- would shake little more ev

that IA straight line is the shor

points. No charge supported b,

proved or disproved, and NJ

| 1aman' friends in one Of hi
speeches, that they had about d.

hatchery at Tupelo, he may e1
pect some Vardaman man TO un

The popularity about Mr.. Al
len is that he has forgotten tina
every man is held innocent O

ty-and Mr.. Allen is a lawyer
too. The people, however, are nc
credulous enough to condemn al
innocent man, because big e,

The Reclamation Special ope-
rated by the Illinois Central and
the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
Railroad Companies arrived at
Aberdeen late Saturday night
and laid here over Sunday. The
train is in charge Of Mr.. ii. l..
anderson, of the Vice President
and General Manager Office
and is accompanied by Mr. II. T..
keliher, Chief Special Agent Of
the road and by the speakers fun
nlshed by the United States: C..
j. Blanchard, Statistician of the
Reclamation Service and Mr.. NJ.
.. Leighton, Chief photographer
of the Geological Survey.
Vice President q General Man
ger, w. l.. Park, who is the in
stIgator of this special train en-
terprise and who expects great
results to arise by reason of the
work of the train has made the
following interesting statement
relative to Mississippi
Mississippi has AN agricultural
population of about ID persons
per square mile. It's "A region
II exceeding fertility and will
tasty support an agricultural
population of 100 persons per
square mile, or more than three
times that which actually oc-
cupies the area.
The cost of reclaiming swamp
land varies from - to $50 pen
acre. Its value after being re
claimed Immediately exceeds by
Il great margin the cost of recla'
nation, and, when properly serv-
ad by transportation routes sc
that the planter can market his
| crops. it is no unusual thing foI
the land to be worth 100 times
its value before reclamation. In
| addition to the money value II
| is an enormous benefit arising
| from the improvement of SAM
| tary conditions. 1t has been con
| clusively shown that malaria, on
most common and probably ouI
most destructive disease is com
| municated from one person t.
Ianother through the agency oi
mosquitoes, reproduced in We
places. The only wayto check II.
spread of malarial diseases is (,
drain these wet placeeS. When
however, we add to that enor
nous increase in agricultural va
ues, the proposition appears se
good that it will be difficult t.
find an excuse for the people te
delay prpoer organization, ane
execution Of the drainage Of We
lands.

the presence Of standing water (not
soil moisture) in a soil excludes air.
But few plants Will thrive in a
water-logged soil. It is poor policy
TO set plants in poorly prepared
ground thinking that right conditions
can be brought about through subse-
quent tillage.
We shall not attemp to lay down 2
rule as to the frequency OF cultivation
necessary to maintain good tilth. nor
manner IN which the work may best
be accomplished. It should be borne
III mind, however, that the object Of
maintenance tillage is to preserve
IDEAL conditions OF soir~ m~ellONness,
hence the formation OF q crust must
be prevented. /
a loose soil surface acts as a soel
moisture conserver. It also preserves
cOngenial conditions for the promo
ton Of activities in soil and plant life.
The keeping down of weed growth,
fruit plants. is but a secondary object
IN tillage and if rightly managed win
REQUIRE but Il small amount Of hand
labor.
We would place great stress upon
the creation and maintenance Of ideal
soil conditions. A study should be
made also of the questions Of adapta-
bility Of varieties to soil and climate
and markets.
Some varieties Of strawberries do
not take kindly to every condition Of
find which is the best adapted to q
certain soil is to prove them by trial.
Proximity to market cuts quite z
figure in determining profits. one
needs to make a special study OF thc
market problem.

SUIT OVER PAVING.

Norfolk. Va. Feb. 1S.-The Norfolk
and Portsmouth Traction Company to-
gether with the Ocean View Railroad
Company as independently operated
subsidiary was today made defendant
here in suits aggregating SIS 00G
damages, in which City Of Norfolk
claims actually $4,000 for between
tracks street paving. The traction
company resists on the ground that
an ordinance franchise in 1887 re-
auired it's predecessor to only pay for
labor, and not material, while its leg
islatiye charter in 1856 requires the
payment for both labor and material
in paving between tracks The ac-
ton involves some $2oe. 600 in back
claims If the city wins.

Some OF our legislators oyer at Raj
cistl seem disposed to loosen The di-
N0rce LAWS. In many of the States the
laws are too lax. and Mr.. Battle is right
n his fight on all divorce law amend
inents. The growth OF the divorce evil
is alarming. Last year there were in
this country more thar forty Thousand
divorces. a good many Of them In
North Carolina. This means that for
tE thousand homes were wrecked. 1t
means that forty thousand mock
offerings have been laid on the marri-
age altar. 1t means that thousands OF
young souls hay. been cut loose from
the shores that should anchor all ar
