Work for the Plant breeders.

There Is In progress I'm Columbia to-
day a meeting. the result of which
Will be of tremendous Importance to
the future uplift and prosperity OF the
state of South Carolina IL the efforts
of the broad minded. patriotic men
who are seeking TO put splendid ideas
into execution. only receive the prop
er backing.
The meeting referred To was called
BY David X. Coker. of Hartsville, Hon.

culture. d.. A. G. Moore of the Uni
versity Of South Carolina. Prof j. y.

station at Clemson. Mr.. j. Swinton
Bales. OF Edlsto island and Presi-
dent +. w. Dabbs OF the Farmers
Union, and is attended by representa-
tive farmers and others from different
parts Of the state.
The object OF the meeting Is the or
sanization OF the South Carolina Plant
Breeders' Association. and the object
In no doubt accomplished so far as the
preparatory routine is concerned: but
the great task now Is To push the
propakanda and enlist the live. intelli-
gent people whose support is neces-
sary to future success.

and they really think they don't; but
We venture that right now in York
county there is much knowledge Of
plant breeding and If that knowledge
were only directed. trained and stim-
ulated. within a very few years it
could be paying tremendous dividends
much larger than now.
Plant breeding Is accomplished in
several ways; but mainly by intelli-
gent seed selection, and the encour-
agement of intelligent seed selection is
the principal aim of the association:
but not all. 1t Is hoped that there will
be defined a more general knowledge
OF what science has learned as to
grating. crossing. etc. The members
OF the organization believe that there
are as much good brains in South

Carolina as elsewhere and while they
do not expect to interest everybody
IN plant breeding, they believe that
they may succeed in interesting many
or the people. who by nature and ed
ucatlon are best fitted for the work
ana they have hopes Of the senerai
results that would follow.
Luther Burbank is generallv and
commonly referred to as the plant
wizard. 1t is because he has worked
so many seeming miracles on and
WIN plants and constituted so inn
measurably to the wealth pleasure
and happiness Of mankind But Luth-
er Burbank despises the name Of wiz
zard, because he knows that there
is nothing even mysterious about his
achievements. He is not inclined to
admit that he has done anything re-
markable All that he is willing to
concede is, that by close study and
communion with nature, ne has dis
covered some simple secrets that have
enabled him to improve some plants
tremendously and bringing about the
creation of others. The most that
Burbank has ever done has been
through intelligent seed selection. He
has taken given plant, selected and
planted the best seed year after year
until he has developed more perfect
specimens. or course he has excelled
in and along all lines Of plant breed
ing. but in none Of the things that he
has done, will he admit that there
vas more real difficulty in them than
in the simple process of seed selec-
tion.
! Every farmer in the county who
can read, knows Of the improved va
rieties Of cotton that have been pro-
diced in the las. fifty years, and that
the Improvement has been brought
about mainly by seed selection. It
was In this way that Mr.. David r.
Coker has improved the cotton in
darlington county, mainly around
? Hartsville. until Darlington county
cotton now brings more money by
hundreds Of thousands of dollars than
the same number Of pounds of the
KIND grown a few years ago would

or course plant breeding is slow,
TEDIOUS process; but since any intelli-
gent individual can do it by careful,
persistent effort look how much genu-
inc intellectual pleasure there is in
prospect, and how much profit Where
is there greater happiness and what
is mere ennobling than this thing Of
actually getting down close to nature?
The pecuniary rewards are almost al

Chicago, Ill, June lion the
eve of the Republican National Con-

the line of attack which he will
make. He laid down two principles.
He said that the delegates whose Sc
lection he contests must not vote in
the organization of the Convention
or upon the settlement of the con-
test. and made it clear that he would
resist. He declared that no action

votes of these "fraudulentIy seated

WHY NO TCALL ON GOVERNOR
KITCHIN INSTEAD OF ON PRES
IDENT TAFT?

The Raleigh News and Observer,
in an editorial, says:
Mr.. Taft's attention is invited
to tn fact that cotton mill trust
is being organized in this State.
The time to act against trusts
is when they are young"
The Democratic organ has many
times said that it was the duty of
the States to prosecute the trusts
within their borders, and has further
said that the Democratic party in
North Carolina and all other States
should vigorously prosecute trusts
under State laws, because they could
not trust the Republican party to
prosecute them.
Now we see the Democratic organ
calling upon a Republican President
to prosecute trusts in this State, and
not one word is said about calling up
on the Governor to enforce the State
antitrust law.
There is a reason.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1912-06-20

The following appeared in the
editorial columns of Mondays Char
lotte Observer:
Many counties which would
like to vote bonds for good
roads and other public i'm
prOvements hesitate because of
the administrative as
pect involved. Robson County,
declares the Lumberton Robe
sonian, would vote an issue of
million dollars for drainage and
good roads without any trouble,
If the people of the county could
be made to feel that the money
would be wisely and economical
ly spent. Road funds it says,
have been used as a political
football in this county so long
that the most progressive men
or the county, men who would
be glad to vote for a large bono
issue for drainage and roads,
would vote against a bond is
sue now -
The statements of the Observer
and the Robesonian are very true
and it is very strange that the vot-
ers and tax payers will allow such
conditions to exist in so many coun-
ties in the State. No one can blame
the voters in Robson County for
not voting a bond issue so long as
the road supervisor, or manager of
the gang, is allowed to take the road
force and have them work a private
road running by his home and then
put in the balance of a weeks work
digging up stumps in his field, while
the taxpayers are footing the bills,
The people must know that the tar
money is to be spent wisely before
they are willing to vote bonds for
improvements of any kind. We be-
lieve that it would be easy for mos,
of the counties in the State to have
good roads if the taxpayers only
knew that every dollar would be
spent judiciously.
A gogod deal of money is spent in
Wake County for road Improvement
still there are public roads in this
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1912-06-20
There is a reason.

The following is another choice
excerpt from the Democratic plat
form:
I'VE favor and endorse the
policy of the Democratic party
in the pension of the Confeder-
ate veterans of the State and
pledge ourselves to a continual
ton of such policy
The small sum the average Con-
federate soldier in this State receives
is not enough to pay his medicine
bills if he should happen to have a
slight attack of rheumatism during
the year.
A bill was introduced in Congress
several years ago to put the Confed-
crate soldiers on an equal footing
with the Federal soldiers, but the
Democratic politicians from the
South opposed the measure because
they were afraid the Republicans
would be given the credit for the
measure if it was passed. But in
stead of looking after the Confeder-
ate soldier in this State the Demo-
cratic politicians have always been
more interested in increasing sala-
ries and creating new Offices for Dem
ocratic pets at every session of the
Legislature.
These same Democrats who were
opposed to increasing the National
pension list to include the Confeder-
ate soldier, have since voted an in
crease of seventy-five million dol
lars for the Federal soldiers in an
attempt to buy their votes for the
Democratic nominees.
Certainly the Democratic politi-
clans in this State will not make
any friends among the Confederate
soldiers by simply promising to con-
tinue their policies of the past.

ROW IN THE GEORGIA CAMP.
Two of Delegates Go to Colonel Roo
sevelt, But Balance Announce They
Will Vote for Stand BY InstruC-
tiOnS.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 17.-Twenty-
six of Georgia's twenty-eight dele
gates to the National Convention, in
Guiding all the negroes, went on rec
ord for Taft at the caucus of the dele
CATION to-day. Clark Grier and J. II.
Boone, both white delegates, served
notice they intended TO disregard
their instructions and vote for Roo
gates became so disorderly while Mr..
Boone, who is postmaster at Halle
hurst, Ga, was explaining why he
would vote for Roosevelt, that Boone
lost his temper and called the dis
turbers "a bunch of Internal scoun-
drels."
The negroes advanced on Boone,
whereupon he piscked up a chair and
lifted it menacingly into the air
Peace-makers separated the combat
ants and Boone retired from the
meeting. Later he returned to the
hall and apologized to the Chairman,
Colonel Walter Johnson.
Henery Lincoln Johnson, the rec
ognized leader of the twelve negroes
on the delegation, said he thought
Mr.. Boone also owed an apology to
those men he had designated as
'scoundrels." Boone emphatically
declined to apologize to them and
again retired.

MEETS ITSELF COMING BACK.

One section of the Democratic
platform adopted in Raleigh a few
days ago says:
we denounce protection as
robbery of the many to enrich
the few, and We favor a tariff
limited to the needs of the gov
eminent, economically admins
tered, and so levied as not to dis
criminate against any industry,
class or section, to the end that
the burdens of taxation shall be
distributed as equally as posi-
ble."
And in the very next section the
platform meets itself coming back.
After denouncing protection as
robbery, the next plank heartily"
endorses the Democratic members in
Congress who voted for protection,
or robbery" as they choose to term
it. The section referred to reads as
follows:
1--WE heartily endorse the rec
ord of our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in the Congress of the
United States, and the admins
tration of our States affairs by
our Governor and other State
officers
A platform that can change its DO
sitfon in every section will not ap-
peal very strongly to the voters of
the State
