BOOSTING WILSON FOR PRESI-
DENCY IN 1915 CAMPAIGN.

Washington, Sept. IA published
statement by Vice President Marshall
declaring that President Wilson should
run for reelection in 1916 and would
be the unanimous choice of his party,
aroused wide interest in congressional
circles today, but white house officials
refused to make any comment. In
democratic circles, however, it is
taken, for granted the president will
be candidate, although it was stated
tLat so far as known he has not given
the question any personal attention.
The denomination of several sena-
tors and representative who have
supported the president on various
questions has encouraged democratic
campaign managers In this connec-
ton particular attention was paid to
day to the nomination of Representa-
tive Hardwick for senator from Geor-
gia The praise of the presidents
Mexican policy in several democratic
state platforms recently also has
pleased the presidents adherents.
The vice presidents statement is a
dicussion of the democratic outlook
The portion referring to the president
reads:
s'The democratic party will have but
one candidate for president in 1916,
end his name happens to be Woodrow
Wilson. He will have the entire and
unqualified and united support of his
party. Fair-minded democrats will
'ccogniza that he is entitled to
chance for a second term to prove the
utility of his policies.

SEA TO FERTILIZE LAND.
Water Vegetation VIII be Utilized to
Restore Richness of Earth,

Students of economics have repeat
eddy warned that some day the fertility
or the earth will be exhausted and the
human race perish for lack of food.
Attention is being given by construc-
tive thinkers, however, to the problem
OF finding somewhere an ineXhauStible
store of fertilizer with which to re-
store plant food to the soil. Accord
ing to an article in the September Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. the latest
suggestion is that the Sargasso Sea,
that strange marine meadow of inter
laced sea plants covering a vast area
in mid-Atlantic between the Antilles,
the Azores, and Cape Verde, may be
made to renew the vitality of the farm
lands of all the world.
The algae and various other forms
of water vegetation which bound in
the Sargasso sea are rich in nitrogen
phosphoric acid, potassium and mag
nesium sulphate, essential constitu-
ents of plant life. Besides this the
seaweeds contain sodium, chloTlne>.
:adEie. and other materials beneficial
to certain crops, and cellulOse IN
quantities estimated to be greater than
that obtainable from the combined
forests of Scandinavia, Russia and
Canada. All these salts and sub
stance have been washed into the sea
from the land, the volume of such
waste increasing annually and rapidly.
Seaweed is not an Untried fertilizer
for farm lands, and even when crude
~ used has proved of value. Gathered
along the coast as it is washed ashore,
piled in heaps, allowed to rot, and
then plowed into the soil, it is utiliz-
ed in many lands. The recent devel-
orment on a commercial scale of the
kelp industry, based on the extration
of potash and iodine from sea plants.
las aroused further interest in the
fcrtilizing possibilities of the sea and
its products An insight into those
possibilities is given by the yield of
potassium. In the case of the Pacific
Ocean seaweeds each ton of air-dried
kelp gives us minimum of 800
pounds of pure potash salts and three
pounds of iodine. besides other by
products.

PRODUCT OF COAL FIELDS TO
PASS THROUGH CITY TO PANAMA.
TrackbuiIding Between HendersOnyille
and AslleyilIe Said to be Due to Ex-
pected heavy UvuI Shipments.

There has been considerable spec
ulation as to the significance of the
Southern Railway company's laying
several miles of passage tracks be-
tween Asheville and Hendersonville,
to which the Democrat called atten-
ton last week.
It is reported in Hendersonville that
the Southern is planning to transport
over this line considerable coal to
Charleston, whence it will be taken ty
boats through the Panama canal and
that owing to the heavy traffic on Lis
line it was necessary to increase he
facilities, especially between Hender-
sonvilIe and Asheville.
The following from the Asheville Ga
zette News in this connection will
doubtless be of interest:
During the past few days hundreds
of empty coal cars which have been
in storage in various railroad yards
f'ave passed through Asheville en-
route to the fields of east Tennessee
and southwest Virginia. These cars
are being rushed to the coal mines in
anticipation of an early active de-
mand for the commodity caused by
the big European war.
1.-THE Southern railway has recently
added forty extra freight crews, to
handle coal shipments, just in one
section Small telegram Offices, here
tofore closed at night, will now re-
main open for the full twenty-four
hours ready to dispatch coal trains to
the seaboard.
practically all coal for export from
Charleston, which is the real eastern
port of the Southern railway, passes
through Asheville, and therefore great
activities in freight movements are
now on with local railroad officials
Neutral countries which have hereto
fore gone to other places for their
supply of fuel coal will now have to
come to the United States, on account
Cf the war. Coal shipments to South
America will be enormous it is said.
Southern coal dealers have recently
been asked for quotations on 100000
tons of coal to buyers at Para, Brazil
