The TOmbigee River.

The scheme for locks and dams on
. the upper Tombigbee, just turned
down by the U. 8. engineers, never
had any plausible, business fOunds-
ton, in our opinion, hence was new
er advocated by the Examiner
which has made the river fight,
with varying luck, consistently
since its first issue.
The interposition and advocacy
elsewhere of ambitious schemes in.
volvinE enormous expenditure of
money and years Of delay, such as
locks and dams, and canal to the
Tennessee River, have retarded the
real, practical, economical work Of
channel improvement, which is all
we need and all that existing coli
ditions Justify.
Twin bills were introduced sew.
eral years ago, one proposing the
dredging and maintenance of q
six foot channel from the SnOals
below Columbus to Aberdeen, and
the other a four foot channel from
Aberdeen to Walkers Bridge, or
Fulton.
The passage OF those bills would
have given us all the valley people
crsved or needed, and we believe
they could have been pushed with
little opposition, to enactment,
had not our Congressional delega'
ton been forced to ''halt between
two opinions" by the urging of
more pretentious schemes that
they were compelled to take note
of though recognizing their inutil-

KEPT MULES ON THE MOVE
hltched to Speeding Automobile Team
for . While Had the Time Of
Their Lives.

Here is a story from Manhattan
with vaudeville features, not to men,
ton the hard luck:
A farmer living on Deep creek, sew.
eral miles east Of Manhattan, had a
thrilling experience with an automo-
bile and a team of mules. The farmer
recently had purchased a new machine,
and on one Of his first trips tried to
cross the creek at a ford. He put the
clutch at high speed and waded in.
For some reason the engine went dead
In midstream. Cranking failed to re-
vive 1t. After a number Of useless eff
forts, the farmer secured a team OF
mules. hitched them to the stubborn
auto and dragged the machine across
the creek and up the bank. The driver
had left the clutch on at high speed,
n from some unaccountable cause as
soon as the machine was on level road
the engine suddenly revived, the ma.
chine started forward with a bound
and struck the mules squarely in their
kicking apparatus. There was some
thing doing Immediately thereafter.
The mules started on full tilt with the
machine chusging after them: the
driver being occupied with the mules.
couid not give the machine much At
tention. The machine was o going
at a great speed, striking the mules
on the heels again and again. Both
team and machine became uhmanage-
able; but the mules suddenly jumped
70 one side. bringing the machine
Sharply around and causing It to strike
a bank Of earth. thus bringing the
strange runaway to an abrupt end

II is generally known that the peo-

educational camprign on alfalfa and

but we need, every n OF US, to take
the matter personally to heart and con-
slider we'll what it means. Men high in
the agricultural world will journey hun
dreds Of miles at great expense to give
US the opportunity to learn OF these
wonderful plants, which, as an ancient
writer expresses it. dung the land.
They are men of such character and
knowledge that we should be glad to
sit at their feet and learn.
Do not consider thet the subject Is a
narrow one, for when alfalfa is fully
discussed the whole field of agriculture
is necessarily covered, from drainage
up.
With the boil weevil In our midst It is
most auspi:ious that we have such an
opportunity to learn Of diversified
farming. Out Of the difficulties which
must necessarily arise the way will be
pointed, which, II we but follow. will
lead to success and independence. such
we never knew under the one-crop
system.

nifty offered. and to attend the meet

In ignorance Of bugs,
Essayed to still
