COVER CROPS.

The farmer who Is wise and who

during the winter and turned again,

allowed to lay bare and wash and

the first mentioned method an I'M
usual supply Of moisture will De
stored in the land for use during the
| hot dry weather that almost inevi-
tably comes during the growing per-
iod of the corn. The green crop and
the deep tillage will prevent washing
and soil erosion. Land must be
built up. We cannot go on always
taking from the soil the elements OF
plant food and giving nothing in re.
turn. The green chop plowed under
in the spring will help to make
good seed bed and it will increase the
fertility of the soil.
Farmers will disagree as to the
proper cover crop to SOW, but there
should be no point of difference
about the advantage of sowing some
sort of cover crop. Taking 1t all II

best cover crop for this section. !

rHg SCHOOL RALLIES.

There should be a good. attendance
at the several school .rallies that
have been announced for this coun-
ty by state Superintendent Brister
and County superintendent Graham.
The marked advance that Tennessee
has made In It's public school sys-
tenn the past ten years has been due
largely to these rallies They have
made and crystalized public sent-
ment. This sentiment manifested
by the people and the taxpayers mas
had its effect upon the county courts
and the legislatures and the result
has been a better system OF schools
better supported schools and more
eficient teachers. Every person
who is interested in and alive to the
public school system. and it Is al
most inconceiyabie that in demo
cratic government there should be
any citizens who are not in this class,
should encourage and aid these pro
gressiye movements of the heads OF
the department in the state.
Superintendent Graham is TO be
commended upon his determination
to carry the campaign into all sec
tions Of the county. 1t Is just rs e.
sential that there should be sus
tanning public sentiment in the rural
communities as it is that the people
OF the cities should be alive to the
importance Of our school system
/ And 1t is and should be the policy
OF the public school heads to deve
lop a system that will give every

Another former Columbian is going
to the front rapidly. H. II. SeaVy,
one time a resident of this city where
he was engaged in the photograph
business, but now resident OF the
eleventh district of Kentucky, the re-
republican Gibraltar of that common
wealth. has been nominated for con-
gress by the Bull Moose party. He
is opposed by Caleb Powers, the Tart
republican nominee. Mr.. Seavy is
now an engineer on the Cumberland
Valley roalroad and is one of the most
popular men in that section OF Ken
lucky. That he will be elected
iseems assured as the Bull Moose SEN
timent in Kentucky is simply ram
pant.
Mr.. Seavy and his father, now a
very old man, are we'll remembered
by many of the people of this city
He enjoyed much popularity here and
| his career as a statesman will be
watched with great interest by his
former friends. While Bull Moose
folk are scarce in Columbia yet thu
people here are behind Seavy in hi'
race and wish him abundant success

FOR RESEMBLING
NOVEMBER PRIMARY
MANY DELEGATES TO coNVEN-
tom ouTsPokEN IN ATTl-
TuDE OF HOSTILITY.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 15.-That
strong sentiment exists among the
advance guard delegates to the DEM
ocratic convention of today in favor
of the resembling of the November
primary was apparent In the lobDies
of the Maxwell Wednesday night
Many delegates were outspoken In
their hostility to the second primary.
Others were just as mucn opposed 10
it. but were not taking such a bold
stand That the movement merely
needed leader to crystalize INTO
something formidable was generally
admitted. But there was no Caesar
to call the legions into battle foIma-
ton.
One of the arguments advanced
against the November primary was
that 1t was useless election, as the
final fight would be maze before the
legislature, the one that would be de
cisive.

GOV. WILSON'S SPEECH.

True democrats will find much
pleasure and qualification in reading
the acceptance speech of Gov. Wood
row Wilson. In plain, simple IAN
guage he gave expression to his
views upon the great questions which
confront the American people. END
those were the convictions of a true
patriot, one who knows and apprecl-
ates the needs of his country, one
who is in touch with and alive TO the
real hopes and aspirations of the
great masses of the people. There
was nothing in Gov. Wilson's speech
to alarm any legitimate industry,
there were no dangerous and unt?ied
fields of governmental exploration
suggested, but it did give the hope
and promise of putting an end to the
Injustice and Partially which have
characterized the governments att
tude upon many issues during tho
administration of its affairs by the
republican party.
1t is a sane, sensible old fashion
democratic speech. 1t lodged notn
ing and while ringing true upon ev
cry proposition discussed no effor
was made to infame the passions o
the people and there was no sort o
|, appeal to prejudice. Gov Wilson
made it plain that he did not believ'
that the triumph of any man or an,
party was absolutely necessary :
the success of our government an
, the perpetuity of our institutions an
; therein he hit the Bull Moose soia
plexus blow. And Wilson is right.

MORAL ISSUES.

No matter how high the authority
or from whom it proceeds the Coo
trine that because the liquor qies-
tion is a moral issue it has no place
in a party platform declaration is
simply peurile. 1t is not decent non
sense. tt is a mere begging OF the
question. 1t is a dodge pure and
simple. The same could be said OF
public schools, of child labor, OF
women's labor, of the election ma
chinery, of pensions to worthy SOL
diers and in fact of every moral and
economic question. If party Plat
forms are to DE silent upon moral.
social and economic questions what
pray tell us, are they to discuss
Practically every issue raised by the
democratic national platform IS
moral or economic one. And the
same is true of every other platform
national, state or local.
If the question gets into politics
that is to say if liquor regulation OF
prohibition is made the subject OF leg
is lation, how are the people to lndi
cate to their servants in the legisla
lure what they desire done? II they
are to be barred from placing all eco
nomic and moral and social questions
in their declarations of policies VIII!
should the democrats or the repubil

be a political question? The demo

ployment of infants in factories an

moral one? In no sense is 1t polit

sAv NO ORGANIZATION NOW Elk
lsTs AND CALL Is ISSUED
FOR SEPTEMBER 2.
IS BEING NUnERoUsLY sIGNEI
NEGRO viii Probably Land Asa'" IN
the Ranks Of the Regular Democra'
cy Of the State as Il Did Two Years
: Ago.

That there is no republican organ
ization In Maury county has been rec
ognized BY the leaders in the party
here and are circulating a call which
is being numerously signed for
meeting at the court house the brst
Monday in September for the purpose
of perfecting an organization.
The call makes no explanation OF
the situation extraordinary further
than recognition of the facts, but
since the abandonment OF the COM
mittee by the Bull Moose crowd,
which faction dominated the organi-
cation and was existing under a raise
premise, known republicans in the
county have decided that 1t was i'm
portant an organization be had, hence
the call. This call does not mention
the negro either by intimation or 9TH
erwise, but from the character OF the
men who are placing their signatures
thereto it is very evident that the on
" place left for Cuffy, since the
Moose crowd has denied him a place,
is with the regular democrats. Inc
negro. as a factor in politics, stands
for what the regulars stand for and
this is his proper and logical place,
and while there may be a few who
will vote for Taft and Roosevelt the
bulk Of them in this county, like the
bulk in the state, will vote and sup
port McMillin and the regular democ-
racy.
The call:
ITO the republicans of Maury county;
"Whereas, In our opinion there is
not now any republican organization
in Maury county, we, the following
undersigned persons, desiring to per-
feet a county republican executive
committee for the ensuing years. 90
hereby call upon and urge the republi-
: cans from each and every district In

on Monday, September 2, a. Ii
o'clock m. at which time and liace
we will proceed under this call to or
ganize a republican executive com
mittee for Maury county, Tennessee
as above stated" .

tion this morning and it is receiving

Threw off his republican club.
Saying, with greatest dignity,
Thou shalt not STEAL" as a snub.

He threw out the Southern negro.
But he applied eulogy grand,
