Fare of Ancient Romans.

Oysters were as highly priced at
Rome as in modern London, and were
brought by the wealthy from Britain
to be fattened in the Lucrine lake. Of
the birds the chief in esteem were
fowls and peacocks, and fieldfares
were as eagerly sought for in Rome
as in the Athens of Aristophanes.

AGRICULTURE

Editor News:
Agriculture in its primitive sense
means stirring the soil for the purpose
of making plants grow. It's history
dates back of the other arts of our civ
ilization Agriculture was discovered
by man bunting roots to eat that were
good to him, and afterward by going
back to the same place found larger,
sweeter, better roots growing where
he had dug before than those beside
the digging place, so he reasoned with
what little reason be had, that if he
worked the soil about the stunted roots
nearby where he had scratched for
roots the first time, these little roots
would also grow larger and taste bet
ter, 80 he scratched around loots near
by and ate the larger, leaving the
smaller to respond to his tillage By
scratching with bis fingers, for these
we're his only implements. When his
hunger drove him to want more roots
he returned to his patch and saw the
roots he had scratched around were
larger and sweeter than the upcultur.
ed, so be enlarged his patch and threw
away such plants and roots as were
bitter and less responsive to scratf h.
ing, for he wanted the best with the
least amount of labor. So, all down
the ages man has discarded the plants
and roots that were bitter and unpro-
fitable.,
Upon his next visit he was looking
about and saw better roots on the lev
el, loamy land than farther up the bill
on the bare clay land, so he scratched
the places where tue ground was best
and yielded most, but after time in
stead of his fingers he learned to use
forked stick to scratch with, then a
rude plow drawn by man. then by an
OK, then horse, and now tractor
with 4S plows blowing 49 acres per
day. Such are the leaps of modern
farming But man has learned far
more than plowing in the art of Agri
culture.
By careful study be has learned that
the red rust on the blackberry in his
fence corners and along his good land
on the ditches is the rust that blows
to his wheat, oats, clover and grass
and lays little eggs every two weeks,
and they hatch by the millions, in
damp weather, sucking the juice from
the stalk, reducing the yield and often
causing loss and famine. He has learn
e1 to clean up the winter rooSting
place of the red rust For the black
rust he uses hot water or copper sui
phate on the seed. He has learned that
If he takes all the crop off of rich land

beneficent and progressive and demo.
cratic administration of our national
affairs, under the matcbless leadership
Of President Wilson, and particularly
do we endorse the course in regard to
the tariff, currency legislation, the
trust question and the policy of the
President in regard toMexican affairs.
End. We believe the great State of
Tennessee is entitled to a democratic
administration of her affairs. in accord
with her beloved traditions, the wish
of the majority of her citizens, and in
accord with the national democratic
administration; and to that end, we
believe it to be the paramount duty of
the democratic party to restore peace
and harmony in the ranks, and pre-
sent a solid opposition to the election
of Republican governor.
3rd. We believe that the present
temperance laws should be maintained
and enforced, as we'll as all other laws
on the statute books, and the prohibi-
tion question taken out of politics.
We believe that all democratic can1i-
dates should be pledged to the enforce
meut of the laws, and thereby accom-
plish the the removal of this question
ON politics.
4th. We endorse the Hon. T.
R. Preston, of Chattanooga, as
proper and fit man to lead the dem
cratic party to victory in the next
gubernatorial campaign. He is man
in whose ability, integrity and demo-
cracy the people of Tennessee have
full confidence
9th. Knowing the Hon. w. D.
Spears to be lawyer of unusual at
a sterling democrat. and
qualified in every respect to
reflect credit upon himself and the
State on the Supreme, Court, we, con-
endorse him for election to
the vacancy about to occur on the
bench of the Supreme Court

AMERICANS RESISTING

 By Q vote of 87 Co 35 the directors of the Federal reserve banks, in oppo- sition to the wishes of the Presideni and the Federal Reserve board, have postponed opening for business until Nov 30 Strangely enough, the oppo sition to ar earlier date came chiefly from the great cities. notably New York. Chicogo and St. Louis It is siill within the power of the Federal Reserve Board to compel an earlier openelng. put will 1t do SO?
 The same incidence or tlmidity may be seen elsewhere When the Inter state Commerce Commission was asked in September to consider tho appeal Of the railroads for higaer rates, it deferred the hearing for thir- ty days.
 With vast overprcductlon Of cot ton the South has availed itself of cmsrgency currency less freely than any other section Of the country
 Although Congress has made the purchase Of foreign-built ships easy, md opportunities for their use, es- pecially in the Latin-American trade, are attractive, little has been done. We talk a great deal of what we may accomplish in South America, but as 9 matter of fact except for the oper- ations of one sagacious banking house, we make no move.
 Our exports, temporarily interrupt- ed, are growing enormously in spite of our forebodlng, and would be much greater if everybody took full advantage of the situation. Foreign exchange is declining. The balances against us on the other side are grow. ing smaller while we doubt and theor- iza. A world at war must be fed, clothed and to some extent provided with munitions. and yet we do not avail ourselves of the tide that prom ises to bear us on to fortune. In truth, VIC resist 1t.
 The Federal reserve banks are ore. cisely what was required to give us the financial leadership necessary in this emergency If they, too. are to be stricken with the fatal weakness which characterizes so many other public and private agencies, the dis location of our commerce and indus try must be needlessly prolonged (New York World.)
