HALF GOOD.

Pau ClaRstone has sustained the
opinion expressed of him by the
Press last week, that he would de-
cline TO accept the nomination for
governor rendered him on an in
dependent ticket. lie has made
only half good. however. because in
his d~oclination he intimates that
he can not support the Republican
ticket. which he hoped to head as
candidate for governor
Can tt be that the Republican
ticket is bad because the people
chose some one other than Mr..
Clagstone as It's standard bearer
Can IL DO because MIR. Haines re-
ceised more votes than MIR. Clag-
stone that the party became corrupt
or unworthy. II Mr.. Clagstone
had been successful at the primaries
he would have expected the sup
port OF his defeated rivals and woul
have received IT. II is always ex-
pected or the VanqulShed IN q TAN
fight that he viii bow to the will
OF the people as gracefully as he
would expect the vistors To do were
conditions reversed. The people
have passed upon this matter. Il
is their voice which WIS recorded al

candidates and not the politicians

that he can not support the tickei

Martin Brado. George w. and
John w. sissler were here from
the dry farming section north west
Of American Falls Saturday. and
report that wheat is averaging %
1uhels per acre and barley about
20 bushels. These yields are about
twice the average for the United
states and come from dry farming
lands. Several farmers have splen.
did dry farm oats, the best yield
being conceded to John j.. S hroe-

in Raising Spuds.
On a dry farm five miles west
of Aberdeen and about twelve miles
north of American Falls. John w.
Sissler expects to harvest 200
sacks of potatoes from half an acre
of land. This land IS above the
canal and has had no water other
than natural precipitation. The
yield is unheard of in this locality
and is due to excellent cultivation
and an exceptionally favorable sea-
son. He has dug some of his crop
which has averaged three and one
third pounds Of marketable potatoes
per hill. He planted closer than
most dry farmers. which may be
unsafe in ordinary years. but it
proved all right this season.
The rule for dry farmers is hills
four feet apart in four foot rows,
making 2722 hills per acre. With
the yield per hill which Mr.. Sissler
has this year, this would make 9073
pounds, and at l rent a pound.
however, expecting to have 10000
pounds from half an acre. This is
by far the best dry land yield
eported.

Painted all the stately woodland in gay n1dcsccni hues
Touched the willow tree with golden. tnged the maple then with red,
Placed at last a scarlet umban o n the humble sumacs head.

With no winding sheet about them to project their fragile form
From The cruel blasts Of winter with its unreenhng storms

And the royal robe Of Autumn was unloosd and fell below
To become at last the mantle Of the meek and lowly flowers
That had blossomd by the wayade and IN cool sequestered places

Drinkley and Clarendon
 Schools Get $500 Each

The State Board of Education met in Little Rock this week and made appria1ionsto the various public school of the state meet ing the requirements of the board.
 Last year the Bnnkley school alone got $500 in Monroe county but this year, both Brinkley and Clarendon got $500. This gives 5000 to Monroe county.
 There were only 12 counties in the entire state that received as much as a thousand and only about 5 that received more than that. There were only 26 schools in the entire state receiv- ing as much as $500.
 Pretty good for Brinkley and Clarendon. don't you think?

Railroads HaulinG Dirt in.
 10 Drin4ley

The unsightly ditches and holes extending for several hundred yards from near Cypress street south between the Cotton Belt and Midland tracks. which for the past 15 or 20 years, have most of the time been filled with stagnant water, are at last to be filled up by the railroads.
 These dirty disease breeding holes have had the attention of many city councils in years past but some how or other the rail- roads have always got by with out filling them up.
 This time, the committee ap- pointed at a Mass meeting of citizens, some two months ago have had a pretty lively tustle to get the work going but at last it is being done.
 Both the Midland and the Cotton Belt are hauling in dirt and their engineers and officers have promised the committee that they will fill in and put the places in perfect and acceptable condition.
 The Island has also agreed to get busy. drain and clear up along their lines.
 The unsightly pond or minera ture lake just north of the new union station between the Cot ton Belt and Rock Island tracks, charted on the visiting engineers memo as being 3 feet deep, is also to be drained and filled.
 Now let the city officers and board of health get busy and get rid of the great slash or pond near the south end of New Orleans ave and we will have acf colnplished . great work towardf

Writes T t TO ;tine Letter While Travelling in

Greensboro, N. C..
 July 20, 19l2, Editor AKdus:
 If you will take a map and trace the main line of the South ern railway you will find that it reaches frOA Atlanta to Wash ington. . dietance of 64S miles. About 200 r1iles of this distance k double trecked. The Georgia peach crop 5 handled on this sketch of ra)lroad.
 Now, imatine a fruit train of from fifteen to twenty cars pas- sing Brinkiey every fifteen to thirty minutes for thirty days. and you will have some idea of the immensity of the Georgia peach businebs.
 The peach industry of Georgia has F. I. Valley as a center, and does not embrace more than SC, enty linsal miles reaching from Macon b Americus on the central of Georgia railroad. It is estimated that the crops this year brought the growers $4. GOO. coo. In handling this business the Southern railway gives the fruit trains the right of way over all trains. sidetracking even it's fast through passenger trains. Its a sight" to look upon these trains as they speed through the North Carolina towns at the rate of fifty miles an hour, each train becoming a flaming advertise ment for Georgia and the Georgia peach.

 It is true that there are many of our good citizens who are dis gusted with the exsisting con- ditions.

 There are many men, of true moral worth in Brinkley and they are men who when it comes to apinch, have backbone too, but somehow or other, it's the same old sin of selfshness that's causing them to be content with existing conditions in dear old Brinkley." ,"
