KEEP UP THE CULTIVATION.

It is probable that there are more
corn crops ruined each year BY the
custom OF laying by too early than
by any other errors Of cultivation. A
corn crop should never be laid by
until Il Is made, and It is never made
until the grain is well hardened. II
is too often the custom to give the
corn its last working about the time
II shows a disposition to tassel- I'm
der conditions OF normal moisture az
ter this time the plant usually makes
fair yield despite the lack Of con
tinued cultivation. but when the
weather remains dry after this time
the yield is materially reduced. Ere
qnently one more cultivation after this
period will double the yield. With
the season that has prevailed over
the greater part of Texas this year,
late cultivation will be found partieu'
larly beneficial. The constant rains
that prevailed in the earlier stages
Of the plants growth are more than
apt to be followed by dry weather.
Since there was an abundance OF
moisture while the corn was forming
its roots, these roots are largely near
the surface and so in times OF dry
weather will not be able to supply the
plant with moisture. To combat with
this anticipated dry weather, deeper
roofing and a deeper mulch must be
established. 1t should be done as
early as possible so as to cause the
least injury to the plant. In deepen
ing the mulch there is necessarily go
ing to be root injury; and care should
be taken to make the consequent
shock to the plant as slight as posi-
BILE. Therefore, following the rains
Ii would be we'll to deepen the mulcl
only on one side OF the row. After thu
lapse of week this process can d

damage.
After once establishing the deepe

REPLIES
To GOVERNOR
HOOPER
GENERAL T. c.
RYE SAYS
H0MEFOLES MAY JUDGE HIM
Thinks That Is Result of Majors
Personal Experiences Speaks
to Trenton Audience.

Trenton, Tenn, Sept. 21.-BefOre a
crowd estimated to number about D.
900, Gen. T. c. Rye made his second
speech of his campaign for governor
here today His remarks were en-
Enthusiastically received.
He made himself clear as to his
position upon law enforcement and the
liquor laws, and pledged himself un-
equivocally to stand upon the demo-
cratic platform. The only statement
that could be considered as replying
to the recent criticisms offered by the
republican candidate was when he
stated that he was perfectly willing
to stand by the verdict of the people
whom hi had served as attorney-gen-
eral, as to his standing for law en-
forcement or not. He said that the
insinuation of his being controlled by
any living man or set of men had
never been dreamed Of, except by Maj.
E. B. Stahlman. whose ideas were
only the fruit of his personal exper-
fences.
Reviewing the history of the liquor
question, he stated that the present
laws were enacted after thirty years
of agitation by the democratic party,
and that the republicans had only
been recent converts to the prohibit
ton sentiments when the opportunity
presented itself to get into public
office. He then proceeded to give a
bit Of history of the recent teachers
examinations in the state, and of the
acts of the uniform textbook commits
sion. Here he endeavored to show
how the republican machine had
sought to coerce teachers who applied
for certificates and how the people
were made through republican admin
istration to pay high prices for in
ferior text books. He read at length
correspondence between himself and
the Anti-Saloon league relative to his
position on the liquor question, and
said the democratic declarations were
in conformity with the position of that
concerning the election
laws. He asserted that the democratic
objection to these had been the lack
of representation in thier administra-
ton, and claimed his only desire was
for honesty and fairness. The repub-
licans, he said, had raised terrible
howl whenever it was shown that un-
der their own legislation old-fashioned
majorities were soon to be
made possible.
In conclusion, on the question of
confederate pensions, he read from the !,
platform of the republican party, de-
claring for liberal and just pensions |
for federal soldiers and state pensions
for confederate soldiers, and showed
the striking contrast of the two asser- !
lions.

THE FIRST nISTRICT.

From the character of the letter of
Congressman Sells, candidate for re-
election in the first district, addressed
to his progressive competitor, the Hon.
James B. Cox, agreeing to a joint de-
bate of tho issues between them, the
duel of words, explosives, personal re-
Elections, ETC., etc., is going to be
worth going miles to hear. Sells ac-
cuses Cox of most of the political sins
in the category, contemptuously in
sinuating that he is "trying to hold on
to Roosevelt's coat tails" In fact Mr..
Sells wants to know what sort of po-
litical adherent Mr.. Cox is.
In some respects Mr.. Sells would
seem TO have the edge on Mr.. Cox. The
latter is running for congress as a
progressive, but he is not following
Mr.. Roosevelts lead, since he appears
to be somewhat Of fusionist and APP
parently willing to get in the wagon
with the Man Facing Both Ways"
Mr.. Sells, Notwithstanding his occas-
ional drops into profanity, appears to
be pretty vigorous, plain-spoken
sort of person, and declares himself
to be republican without an apology.
He hasn't accomplished much, how
ever, since he has been in congress,
most of his talent having been devoted
to state politics.
II MI. Cox should take a bold stand
against fusionism and show wherein
the republican party instead of being
benefited has been hurt in a vital part
by it, he might stand a chance of
election. Chattanooga Times.

SAY COX CAN SECURE
BRISTOL POSTOFFICE.

Washington, Sept 21.-While for
mer Gov John I. Cox has not applied
for the postmastership at Bristol,
Tenn. it can be stated with authority
that he can secure the place If he
wants it,. Gov. Cox will voluntary
drop out of the legislature next year
for the first session in % years, he
having succeeded himself in the senate
Immediately after he had completed
his tenure as governor.
The term of the Bristol incumbent
does not expire until next spring. The
office pays $4,000 per annum. Sena-
tor John X. Shields has the recon-
mendation for the postmaster to his
allotment of patronage. No one has
applied as yet for the office. nor has
Gov. Cox Endorsed any one. 1t is not
thought here that Gen. Cox would
have opposition IL he wants the place.
The former governor was leader of
the Champ Clark forces in Tennessee,
but in the November election thereaf-
ter he was a strong Wilson supporter.
His appointment would be favorably
received in administration circles.
Mr.. Cox began his career as mail
carrier on star route now covered
by rural route from Bristol.
