FEARS UNFOUNDED.

Dr. T. F. Reeks, superintendent of health, heaved sigh of relief this morning when he learned for certain that two cases of suspected typhoid fever were not of that disease.

Champ Clark Speaks.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 3O.-Champ Clark
speaking here tonight, expressed hope
that the statecraft, humanitarianism
and religion of the twentieth century
would be employed to devise a scheme
whereby every person would enjoy the
fruits of his own labor and monopoly of
the toll of thousands prevented. Mr..
Clark address was at banquet of the
Chicago Dental Society.
I'm 113 years our total wealth multi
piled 125 fold and is now rated at the
enormous sum of $40, 900, 100000, "
he declared. This, if equally dis
tributed, would give 1872 to every
man, woman and child between the two
oceans. But there is the rub, for while
a few are rich beyond the dream of
avarice, many have not the wherewithal
to feed and clothe themselves.
The signs of the times indicate,
however, tnat the nope or better condl-
tions is not too fantastic for entertain
ment. The new era began when N. o.
Nelson, of St. Louis, originated the plan
of sharing profits with his employees.
Other great concerns are establishing
pension systems for their employees
which put to blush the liberal pension
system of the federal government for
the soldiers of our various wars.
Blessed be the name, I say, of the
man who, without regard to politics or
religion, establishes abiding peace be-
tween labor and capital, which should
be friends and not enemies. "

Mr.. Trice is resident of Jackson and

For Woman Suffrage.

Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 30.-The world
has taken long step forward when all
of the rulers at war deny responsibility
for beginning hostilities, declared Secre-
tary of State Bryan, addressing joint
session of the North Carolina State Leg
islature here this afternoon. He spoke
in the chamber of the House of Repre-
sentatives. The chamber was crowded
to capacity. Four thousand parsons
heard the secretary speak before the
meeting of the North Carolina confer
ence for social service this morning.
Secretary Bryan in discussing world
peace declared the so-called Bryan
treaties" were a sure cure for war. He
said he could not reconcile the present
situation in Europe with the statements
that preparedness was the best remedy
for the prevention of war.
The address of to-day was similar to
that delivered by Secretary Bryan be-
fore the Pennsylvania Legislature sew
eral years ago, with the exception that
to-day the secretary advocated woman
suffrage, which this year has become
a live issue in North Carolina, and the
initiative, referendum and recall. The
secretary declared that the initiative and
referendum were fundamental principles
of Democracy. He advocated recall of
all officials. Woman suffrage, he de-
clared, was sure to come.

CUSTER BILL is SIGNED
BY TENNESSEE GOVERNOR
Legislature Recess Until March
After Night Session.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 29.-The Ell
kins Custer Bill was signed by Gov. Rye
at 1890 o'clock tonight and returned
to the Senate tonight with his signature
attached. The Speakers of both Houses
had previously signed the bill and it will
60 into effect at once.
The Legislature now begins recess
to last until March /.
Several times during the morning and
afternoon sessions to-day friends of the
"Ouster Bill" expressed the fear that
the city delegations were planning to
persuade Gov. Rye into returning the
measure without his approval. Late
this afternoon, however, Senator Elkins
told several friends that the Governor
had promised to sign the bill tonight
and return it before the Legislature ad-
iourned. The Legislature met for the
especial purpose of receiving the bill at
s O'Clock tonight.
A petition was circulated in the House
during the day asking Gov. Rye to not
sign the bill, it being alleged in the pc
tition that the bill was a Republican
measure. Mr.. Elkins made a speech
this morning denouncing the petition
and its trainers, and uttered the warning
that the bill's friends were on their
guard.
The bill is framed after the Kansas
City custer law and provides for the re-
moval of municipal officials who fail to
enforce the law. Ten citizens may file
proceedings under the act, as we'll as the
City, County District and State Attor-
neys. Gov. Rye advised the Legislature
to strike out the clause allowing this
right to private citizens, but the country
members of the Democratic delegation
joined the Republicans and defeated the
amendments to this effect.
The Senate this afternoon substituted
and passed the House bill repaying the
official Of the State Mining Department
their expenses and salaries for the past
term, the Supreme Court having de-
clared the department unauthorized by
law. The bill corrects the technical de-
feet in the original law.
First steps to extend suffrage to Ten
nessee women were completed to-day by
the House, which passed Senate reso-
luton for an amendment to the State
Constitution. The resolution must be
adopted by the next Legislature and in
a popular election before it becomes

produce. We have shown too much in,
difference about the condition of oul
products when taken to market, and the
small quantities have cut the prices re-
ceived in half
The farmers of Tennessee have before
them period of great prosperity if they
will work together to produce quantity
and quality to meet market demands.
Now is the time to get together and plan
the coming years production. The de-
mand for the right crops is going to be
great. We have all the conditions favor
able for supplying the demands if we
will do our part and use the energy and
intelligence God has given us. We
will be untrue to Him, to our families,
and ourselves if we let this golden op-
portunity go by unimproved.
In some portions of the State cotton
has been the one crop as it has been
in practically all the Southern States.
A large crop was raised last year. The
war in Europe has temporarily cut off
the demand for our export cotton, ruin
ing the price for the time. The average
farmer can't afford to hold. He is
compelled to lose on the last crop grown,
has done so already, but he can avoid a
recurrence of such a condition if he will
plan first to raise on his farm at least
what he consumes of food for himself
and his livestock and plan for his cotton
to be a surplus that he can afford to
hold for satisfactory prices. Then his
surplus crop will command prices that
will put him ahead and independent in
stead of being a slave to the old one
crop system.
When farmers get more cohesion to
work together, when they plan first to
produce at home what is consumed at
home and have their surplus crops so
diversified that there will be production
enough of each to supply quantity and
quality to attract market and not pro-
duce all of one crop to glut the market
with that commodity, the products at
tractively marketed, then, and not until
then, will the farmers enter upon the
full measure of prospt rty possible for
them to enjoy.-T. F. Peck.

DiversiGcation of Crops.

Just now while the weather is bad and
the farmers have some leisure time,
they will employ it to a good advantage
if they will take stock of present day
conditions and plan an adjustment oi
their farm operations for the coming
year to suit conditions.
Farmers have drifted too much into
the one crop method of farming, and be-
cause Of that fact have to buy for home
consumption so many things their
fathers produced at home. If any
farmer will take the trouble to find
out the amount of potatoes, fruits and
canned goods that are imported into
Tennessee, the amount of money that
has gone out of the State that should
have remained here, and when he real
ICES that we can produce as good as the
best, and he looks over his farm and
finds land idle that could have produced
that which he has bought, and recalled
the time lost that could have been bet
ter employed growing these things, he
cannot fail to realize that he is largely to
blame for his balance at the bank being
so much smaller than it should be.
While he has found it something OF a
burden to pay for the things which he
could have raised, if he plans this years
crop along the same lines he will find
himself in a very much worse shape
year hence than at the present time.
The war in Europe has brought about
many changes. The majority of able
bodied men in those countries are bear
ing arms, fighting instead of farming.
They are not producing foodstuffs, but
the armies must be fed as we'll as their
families. This is going to create great
demand for good products at increased
prices. Much of our fruits and canned
goods will be exported. If our farmers
depend on buying instead of raising
such products on their own farms,
they may make up their minds to pay
fancy prices that will eat up the profits
from their general crops.
Would it not be good business fore
sight in view of the abnormal demand
and high prices, to plan now to produce
at home not only what is consumed at
home, but help supply the demand
from abroad that is going to be enormus?
Would it not be wise for communities
to get together and plan their crops so
that they would produce variety and at
the same time quantity and quality, to
attract buyers at the fancy prices that
will prevail where quantity and quality
can be found?
1t has been the custom of farmers to
act independent of their neighbors, and
grow crops that were most convenient
for them, losing sight of market de-
mands and the fact that what they
would produce taken alone would not
justify those in the market hunting up
the small amount that they alone could

CONSIDERS BOSWORTH
THE BEST BUSINESS MAN

The Elizabethtown News, a paper
OF Statewide reputation, with Col
Harry Sommers as editor and pub
Usher, says that ''of the six an
nounced candidates for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor,
Hon. Henry M. Bosworth is the best
business man"
The Journal heartily agrees with
Mr.. Sommers and the Elizabeth
town News, and it recognizes the
fact that IL there ever was time
in the history of Kentucky when
a business man was needed at the
head of its government, that time
is now. And this is one of the chief
reasons why the candidacy of Mr..
Boswcrth has met with such popu-
lar acclaim. This is enc of the lead
ing reasons why the people are for
him all over the State. He has been
tried in the balance and found not
wanting. His record as a public
official is without spot or blemish.
He has made good. He is a business
man in the strictest sense of the
word, and if nominated and elect
ed Governor-and it looks now like
he will be by an overwhelming
majority-he will make Kentucky
one of the very best Governors the
old State has ever had. He is a
business farmer, resides on a farm,
and is therefore in close touch with
the needs of the farmers of the
State. His firm stand in making
corporations pay their just share of
taxes, thus relieving the farmers of
being overburdened, has gained for
him the enmity of some of the mon
ey barons, but he is the poor mans
friend and has always stood for
what was right. regardless of the
cost to himself.-[Somerset Journal
