WIFI i VIII CdkS.
Gilbert Hubbard On Farmlae
There are, say, ten thous-
and men in America, any one
of whom could serve accepta-
bly, at Acknowledgement of the
United States.
There are not, however, a
dozen men in America who
are qualified by education, ex-
perience and natural endow-
ment to act as Farmer General.
And there are not three
men in America wh6 could
qualify as master road builders.
Farming and road-making
are the two most important
things before the people of this
continent. We have thous-
ands of professors teaching
theology, but there is only one
endowed chair of roadmaking
in America, and that is vacant,
simply because there is no one
to be found capable of filling it.
I'm eighteen hundred seven
ty five, one-half of our people
we're farmers. In eighteen
hundred eighty-fve, forty per
cent of our people were farm
ers. Now, but twenty-seven
per cent of our people gain a
living from the soil. However,
the high prices of living have
made farming respectable. The
farmer is making money.
Population has increased in
the cities, but the farming
population has remained ap-
proximately static.
Everywhere among think
ing people in America the sub
ject of agriculture is receiving
an attention never before given
it. In many states agriculture
is being taught in the public
schools. Agricultural courses
are being put in the most of the
big colleges and universities,
and the State Agricultural
Schools have ceased to be
pleasantries.
There is no such thing as
Democrat or Republican farm
ing; the office of Secretary of
Agriculture is one with which
politics plays an infinitesimal
part.
There is a difference be-
tween talking about farming
and farming.
"A Farmer-G General must,
first, be a farmer.
Second, he must be able to
recount his experiences.
Third. he must be a tree
planter.
Fourth, he should be a
master road-builder.
Fifth, he must be a teacher.
Sixth, he must be a natural
list; for farming is not merely
getting enough to eat and
wear; it is living a life, and no
one lives deeply and well who
does not recognize his kinship
to the world of nature.

,iBIe Rock to Enter Southern League.

Little Rock, June 30.-Upon no hss authority than W. M. Kava- ,augh, president of the Southern raaeue. it is stated that negoti- ,tions are under way for the ourchase of the Montgomery franchise in that league, by Lit te Rock, the franchise to be de- rvered at the end of the present season.
 Montgomery has failed to sup oort the team this year, even though it has been making a aght for the pennant, and getting better every day. The team has not drawn more than a guaran- fee which must be paid to the visiting team, more than a few tines this year, and 1t has been customary for the club to lose money on a series. In addition to this travelling expenses and salaries must be paid.
 President Kavanaugh will not dyulge the names of the persons who are after the franchise for Little Rock, but believes they will be successful, and if Little Rock is taken back into the hague it will draw better than a umber of cities now in the As sociation.

Brundldge has been willing to let the returns go be. fore the Central Com mittee ss they were reported in, but his friends have psotested, saying that if there has been corruption the future success of the party depends on it's being ferreted out and those guilty punished.
 It was also suggested that a proposition be made to Judge Hays to have him join in the re quest for a full investigation in all of the doubtful counties, whether they reported maiorities for Hayes or Brundidge.
