THE THIRD TERM RULE.
Gan A Man Who has Served three Terms

DO Considered In the Convention.
..On Monday April 9th, 1900. the
Rowan Democracy in convention
assembled very wisely pledged
the party to what is known as a
third term rule, Up to that time
men had gone into Office snd
managed to manipulate things,
term after term until death over
took them and that seemed the
only way to get rid of them. The
mon in the ranks got good and
tired of this manner of holding
office. Quite a number left the
party because of it and If such
resolutions had not been passed
Rowan would long since have been
iii the Republican column. This
same thing again seems to threat.
en- the party. If the rule Is now
broken it will be looked upon as
void and non effective in the
future and every county officer will
enter the race each successive
two years as sure as fate, that
is if they are elected this fall and
ehavs tbs opportunity to do sc.
The WAToHMAN thinks the par.
ty owes it to itself to re.afirm al.
legianoe to the third-term rule
and make it plain that candidates
who have served three terms will
not be considered i'll future COM
ventions of the party, also that q
man who has held one office three
times cannot be considered should
he Immediately offer for another.
The resolutions of 190Otollow:
Whereas, In view of the fact
that she Democratic voters of
Rowan county have by their votes
recorded themselves as being ia
vorable to rotation in Office, thus
affirming their opposition to life
tenure, Be it resolved:
LIST. That the Democrats of
Rowan county in convention as.
sembled reafirm their belief in
the wisdom and justice of rota-
ton in Office.
End. That lie the sentiments of
this convention that no county
officer should be elected to any Of
foe for more than three consecu-
tive terms.

Wilmington Policeman Shot by Negro In
Serious Condition.

Wilmington, May 19.-Mount-
ed Policeman R J. Tht mpson,
who was shot and seriously
wounded early this morning in an
alley in the eastern part of the
city, by q negro, whose identity
at thst time vas not known, but
who has since been arrested, is re-
garded as in a very precarlous
condition at the hospital, and it
is said, has small chance OF re-
covery.
Policeman Thompson was call
cd to the home of q woman where
a disturbance was being raised, it
being alleged that two negroes
had broken into the house. As
the policeman approached the
house one of the men fred at the
officer, Who quickly returned the
fire. Mr.. Thompson was struck
IN tho breast, the bullet penetrat-
ing the left lung aud imbedded
itself near che heart.
The negro ran and q fellow
officer who heard the shooting,
came up and notified headquart-
ers.
This morning a negroe named
Beatty was arrested as he was
about to board an outgoing train
at Hilton bridge. Ha attempted
to take the billy and pistol away
from the officer who arrested him
and who was forced to sh ,ot him.
1t was found that the negro was
wounded in the knee from a bull
let claimed to be from Officer
Thompson's revolver the night
before.
Feeling is running high against
the negro who was taken to Jail
after his wounds were dressed and
should the Officer die it is alto
gether likely that there would be
a serious demonstration.

F %. Since then I have been farming
, for myself eight years. On our loamy
top soil with red underlying clay
suhsoil we doubled the yield on IA
ther's farm and have done almost
las we'll on my own. On fathers farm
there was one upland field of 16
acres that had been in cultivation
over 80 years. This land was pro-
ducing, when father bought it, from
-four to five barrels of corn per acre,
from 500 to 500 pounds of seed cot
ton, and from eight to II bushels of
wheat per acre. Our rotation was as
follows: Wheat, with cowpeas after
wheat harvest at rate of one and a
half bushels per acre, and rye after
peas in fall. Cotton second year,
with rye alone or rye and crimson
clover at last plowing of cotton.
inlrd year, corn with cowpeas at last
plowlng and rye in fall. No grass or
stalks were wasted, but was turned
lor the benefit of soil.
The land was subsoiled several
umes, going about two inches deeper
eacn fall, until it was broken and
sausolled to a depth of 18 inches.
Alter nine years of such work, the
sleia on this land was from 1000 to
. ,,ioO pounds of seed cotton per acre;
20 70 zS bushels of wheat, and eight
" - barrels of corn. During this
s''iou not one pound of commercial

-Four Essentials in Making Fertile
Soil.

Soil.
I HAVE been farming at least 20
i years and l find that there are
four essentials in the making of a
fertile SOIL
The first one is drainage. Much
OF our land has natural drainage and
this problem does not enter. Other
land is wet, water-soaked. We
know what that means. Air cannot
enter to make the inert plant food
available. We cannot plant in sea-
son and cultivate as we should. The
soil is water-sealed when we want
it to be active. Such land must have
drainage. Most plants want a we'll
drained soil if they are to be grown
with profit.
The second requirement is that the
soil be sweet. Very much land is
acid. Lime your land if the soil
is acid, and do it quickly. This is
the second essential, and there is no
way OF getting around an essential,
The third consideration in the i'm
ter. If there was an abundance of
manure on all farms this factor in
soil-building would need little con-
sideration. When the manure was
rotted in the soil it would improve
the texture of the ground, and assist
in holding moisture and add plant
food. When the supply OF manures
is light I use it to grow heavy sod
for plowing down. I have found that
using manure in this way doubles it's
efficiency by making heavy growth
of roots and aftermath to be used for
feeding succeeding crops in the rota-
ton.
The grasses can furnish a large
amount of organic matter to land
and would be soil builders if used
Alright. The chief trouble is that we
do not fertilize grass sods so that
they WILDE heavy, and do not plow
them down when heavy.
/ am learning that it pays better
to fertilize a sod than to fertilize
the crop following the grass. The
investment makes double returns.
always aim to give more organic mat
ter to the soil: it is the life-giving
factor
The fourth essential is available
plant food. I always find it a pretty
good rule to meet the requirements
of the soil for phosphoric acid in a
liberal fashion and then to inquire
further into the soils needs. 1t is
a poor policy to put labor and seed
upon land that is left deficient in
available plant food.
r. P. ALEXANDER.
Goodies Ferry, Va.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette., 1912-03-16

AS the feeding capacity of the
plant varies with the extent of it's
root system, the seed-bed should be
made as fine as possible, so the deli
cate roots will find practically no
resistance to development in any
direction, yet will come in contact
with soil particles on every side

A Quick Way to Restore Old Fields.

A Quick Way to Restore Old Fields.
r HAVE found that the quickest way
i to bring up an old rundown field
is to plow it deeply, harrow well and
sow or drill COW peas, fertilizing well
with acid phosphate. When the peas
are turning yellow, disk them all in
and SOW to oats in October. Top
dress oats with stable manure during
the winter and you will have a fine
lot of feed and can still grow crop
of late corn after the oats. Lay-by
corn with crimson clover and you're
almost sure of@a catch.
With a good growth of clover to
plow under, we are well on our way
towards better lands.

Idaho made almost clean
sweep at the Portland Fat Stock
show last week and won hands
down over both Oregon and
Washington all along the the
line. Not satisfied with having
the winning steer and selling it
at the second highest price ever
paid for such an animal in the
world, this state also won prac-
tically all the prizes on hogs, the
best prize on sheep, had the best
draft mare at the show and the
University of Idaho stock judg-
ing team took first prize at that
event.
1t was University of Idaho
entry-a yearling Hereford that
brought the record price for a
steer on foot ever paid west of
Chicago. When George Warren,
of Warrenton, Ore, paid $1.20 a
pound for the big prize winner
of the show he paid more than
ever has been paid in the history
of the world with the single ex-
ception of the steer Advance, ="
which brought $1.50 a pound at
Chicago 10 years ago. The ami
NAL weighed 1880 pounds, and
Mr.. Warren wrote his check for
$1296.
1t was w. H. Ralph, of Nez-
perce-an Idaho auctioneer
who secured this record price for
this record animal.
1t is some record when a state
like Idaho can win as it did at
Portland when competing against
the best stock of the Pacific
Northwest and this stock equaI
to the best to be found west OF
the Missouri river, as was stated
