S. S. Hudson.

So much attention has been
given to the Senatorial race since
the opening Of the canvass that
! other Offices, of equally as much
interest to the state, have gone
practically unnoticed. This is
all wrong. The administration
of home affairs should demand
just as much attention from the
people as national affairs. Good
officers, true and tried, should be
elected to places where the in
terest of the people of the south
as a whole should be looked af-
ter, and in no instance is this
more clearly demonstrated than
in the office of Attorney General.
1t is one of the most important
of all the state Offices. and should
be administered over by a capa-
BILE and efficient man. The pres
ent incumbent has demonstrated
his ability to fully come up to
the standard of measure in this
respect and his reelection would
be nothing more than is due to
him. considering that he has
held the position only a part OF
the full term and in that short
time has proven clearly his abil-
ity to cope with any complication
that might arise wherein his
services to the state is demand
ed.
The appointment of Attorney
General Hudson was not a mis-
take. He has proven to be the
right man in the right place and
his reelection would only be a
just reward for his faithful ser
vices. His is an Office with
which we cannot afford to take
chances especially at the present
time when there are likely to be
complications that demand the
hpsf of ability. Mr.. Hudson is
a brilliant attorney, an upright.
honorable, conscientious gentle
man and while his reelection
is generally conceded it is best
to be on the safe side and see to
it that q faithful and competent
servant is not overlooked in the
hurry Of the election day.-Bal-

superintendents from Mississippi
md several from Tennessee and
Arkansas who made interesting
reports of the work in their res
oective counties. All agreed
that the vital question before the
south today is to teach Agricul-
ture in the common schools.
At 2 p. m. Prof. c. A. Cobb
spoke on why This Interest In
Corn Clubs" Prof. Cobb quoted
from statistics to show what a
yreat increase in production per
acre, and in the whole production
Of the country at large.
AT night Mr.. O. B. Martin,
assistant to the late DR.. Knapp
If the Farmers Cooperative
Demonstration Work, of Wash
ngton, D. c., gave a very
interesting lecture showing by
stereopticon views many in
stances of the great development
N the productiveness of the soil.
Some of the most interesting
| views were from the states OF
Arkansas and Mississippi. That
from Arkansas attracting most
attention being the boy and his
coat which, without the aid of a
lorse or mule he cultivated an
acre of land in corn which pro-
luced 1874 bushels. There is an
interesting story, too long to re-
peat, connected with this boy and
his father. The father refused
the boy a horse to break his acre.
The boy grubbed it with a grub
bing hoe. The father then re-
fused to let him plant it. He
grubbed the second acre, which
he cultivated with his goat, with
a result of 134 bushels. His
father then said look what me
and John did,"
The most interesting views
from Mississippi were the corn
root development which many OF
the readers saw in the dailies
and in the Tupelo Journal last
year. The photographs being
furnished by Superintendent
Clayton, of Lee County. The
main feature of the Saturday
session was the lecture of DR..
Bradford Knapp, successor to
his father. DR.. S. A. Knapp.
DR.. Knapp's talk was along the
line of practical farming, show
ing the relation of corn clubs to
agricultural education. He call
ed attention to the education
given men of all professions be-
fore allowed to practice that pro-
fession, and by MANY fine illus
trations showed that the farmer
boy should have equally as good
training to make him as success
full as the lawyer or doctor. By
reading a letter from the mother
of a Texas corn club boy he
showed how the corn club has
stimulated so many boys to go to
school and complete an agricul-
turaI education. This boy could
not write his name when he
joined but by keeping his records
he learned by practice to write,
then to read, and finally de-
termined to attend college and
complete a college course. DR..
Knapp showed that the poor sys-
tenn Of cotton farming caused
waste and ruin while If doEe
