WHY NOT THE DEMOCRATS?

III Is authoratatively stated that the
Republicans will put candidates in the
field and make a fight in many of the
counties of the State for the State and
county offices. In this they show no
litlcal sense. They cannot hone to
make material gains, but they cannot
nope to make any at all unless they
try. They have nothing to lose, and
IN any event maintain an organiza-
ton. A principle, or any object not
worth fighting for in the face of de-
feat is of unquestionable value if won,
The aprty in this State has been held
together by fighting for the unattain-
able. They knew at the start of
nearly all the battles to carry the
State that failure and defeat was
inevitable, but they collected and or.
ganized their forces every year, re.
Vamped some old issues and scraped
up few new ones, repeated old, time
worn promises Of pie and a political
millennium and went on. They have
held their party, such as it is. topcth.
er and managed to perpetuate an ex-
istence. Although the party is no
stronger, perhaps not quite so strong.
as it was fifteen or twenty years ago,
1t still lives in it's enfeebled condition.
and who knows what may some day
come to pass? Cetrain it is that vic.
tory comes only to the fighters.
The point of this article is this.
Inc Democrats of this county have
just as much reason for putting out
candidates for county and State of
fices as have the Republicans as set
forth above, and perhaps Just about
as much assurance of success. New
ertheless, nothing sought, nothing
won. There is no evidence in SIGHT IN
indicate that the Democrats of this
county and section will have a single
candidate in the field for anv Office

who have announced themselves ON

ion. We. could, at least, select the
weakest. point in the enemy's lines
and attack there. Even the weak and
faint-hearted might be induced to at
tack. The Republicans are giving
object lessons in courage and sagac-
ity, whatever may be thought of
their judgment.

TWO GREAT FORAGE CROPS

Scarcely a day has passed since the
beginning of the past winter months.
that load after load of hay or feed of
some kind has not passed through this
town from the depot, on its wav to
Iced the cattle and other stock in this
county. Thousands of dollars of good
hard earned money has gone out of
the pockets of the farmers of this
county which could easily and readiiv
have ben kept at home. True. last
year was bad grass year here for
clover and timothy hay, but no man
need depend upon clover and timothy
Tor his entire supply of provendcr
There are two other crops, easily
grown and far more valuable than
either clover or timothy, viz: Cow
peas and sweet clover With the first
named of these the farmers of this
county are somewhat familiar, having
grown the peas or seen them grown
by others. Cow peas and oats mixed
make n hay far superior to any ordi-
nary hay, both in yield and in nutra-
tive value. 1t is not uncommon to
make b tons of fine oat-pea hay per
acre. Drilled in we'll prepared land
as soon as ground is warm, the crou
can be harvested in time to plant
some other crop the same season
An early maturing variety of each
should be selected.
The other forage crop referred to
is sweet clover-melliotus alba. This
clover has only recently come into
prominence as forage plant. Here
tofore it has been regarded n mere
weed, something to get rid of. Now
1t Is grown extensively for both hay
ana pasture, as well as for seed. An
article at hand states that n promi.

on any kind of soil, however poor

sides, in fence corners, along railroad
tracks. 1t can be seen in many plac
es in Tazewell along road sides ant
on ditch banks.
In addition to furnishing a great
amount of pasturage and hay it j.
also a great soil builder. 1t leaves
the land, unlike timothy hay, richie,

oat pea crop. Peas and the clovers

History of Lands Over Which the
Turks Have Ruled.

Washington, d. C.-In paper tell
ing something of the wonderful his
tory OF the lands over which Turkey
mas ruled for many generations, pre-
pared for the National Geographic So
clety, William Joseph Showalter gives
some interesting facts which ordinari-
~ escape attention. He reminds the
reader that except when Paul and his
associates crossed the Hellespont to
Athens and Rome, the entire Bible
story, from Genesis to Revelation, was
hved in what has been Turkey, and
calls attention to the fact that the
great empires of the East, the civili-
cations of the Egyptians and Phoe-
nicians, the glories of Byzantium-all
were planted on what has been Turk
ish soil. He also shows how King
Sargon, ruling at the very dawn
OF history, congratulated his empire
upon his success in bringing down the
high cost of living. He says in part:
No other people possess lands of
such wonderful historic interest as
the Turks. Occupying region only
a third as great in area as the United
States, they have yet territory with
in whose boundaries the greatest. the
most influential events in human his
tory have occurred.
1.-THE Bible, with little exception, is
an account of the doings of people
who never got beyond what have hith-
erto been the confines of Turkey.
From single corner of the Ottoman
empire arose the Babylon that in it's
day all but ruled the world. From
that same region envy and famine con-
spired to send the children of Abra-
was embraced in the empire of the
Ottomans. Thence, as they marched
back from Africa to Asia, through
the Wilderness of Sin to the Promised
Land, they never once set foot off of
what came to be Turkish soil. And
when the Star of Bethlehem arose it
stood over a manger, on land that is
now Turkish soil.
"In Asia Minor once dwelt Croesus,

THE SEASONS JOKE.

That part of the primary law which
says that candidate for Office must
have at least the names of so voters
signed to his petition, if it means pc
titioning him to run, sounds like a
joke.
No need to petition man to run
for any office when there is even a
ghost of shadow of possibility of his
being elected, matters not how small
or how large the Office. Who was it,
my lord" Spotts,who remarked on oc-
casion, that certain class Of Ameri-
can citizens would not hesitate 10
butt in upon territory where certain
angelic messengers and personages

A certain church, SO the record
states, instituted "proce ng -

RES of what afterward came to he
the land of the Turk. Mohammeu,
and the religion which bears his name
and now claims several hundred mil
hon adherentS, were also born in the
Ottoman empire.
1.-The greatest Of these ancient en-
pres was the Babylonian. The Baby
lonians built their civilization upon
an irrigation ditch and made Baby
Iona land teeming with people, the
seat of magnificent cities, and the
nome OF a worldconquering empire.
Babyionia rivaled the valley of the
Nile In production. Every Greek trav-
eier who wandered that way marveled
at the righteousness of the crops of
Mesopotamia. Even Herodotus hest
tated to tell the story in its fullness
lest the people for whom he wrote
history might regard him a nature
iaker. The hanging gardens of Baby
lon stirred the admiration of the trav-
elers out of the west, so that they
wrote them down as one of the seven
wonders of the world. NebuchadneZ-
mar built them for his wife, Amvtis.
the beautiful Mede, to rescue her from
her inconsistencies for her native Me-
dian hills.
king Sargon, though he lived at
the dawn OF history, reviewed his
reign much as President of the
United States or a great European
sovereign might review his official
career. He tells his that he restored
ancient ruined cities and colonized
them; that he made bare tracts of
land fertile; that he gave his nation
splendid system of reservoirs, dams,
and canals, that he protected the
needy from want, the weak from op-
preston, filled the nations granaries
with corn, brought down the high cost
of living, and found new markets for
the nations products.
Babalon's Notifications are said to
have had circumference of 55 miles,
the. outer wall of which was $50 feet
high and 85 feet thick. The palace
OF Sargon II covered about 25 acres,
and its front was twice as long as that
of the United States capitol. Forty
eight great winged bulls guarded it's
entrances, and upon it's walls were
more than two miles of sculptured
slabs telling the story of the kings
reign"

PLANTING CORN TIME.

Within about months time plant
ing corn time will he at hand, and on
some farms will be about over. A
number of farmers are looking around
for good seed corn. This same ques-
ton bobs up every year. A few farm
ers are entirely satisfied with the va
riety they have been growing for
years, and will make no change. 9th
ers are DESTROYS of making a change.
Thier corn has "run out" they say,
and new seed will be planted. There
|is growing desire and determination
on the part of the farmers to plant
puretbred seed corn. the same as they
breed only pure bred stock. The
same principle applies to both.
Here are Il few suggestions from a
great authority on securing good
corn crop. The land, of course, must
be naturally strong or else made
so by the use of st;b'c manure or COM
mercial fertilizers. 1t is not believed
that n good sod turned down needs adj
ditional fertilizer. If clover sod
or crimson clover or peas have been
grown, no nitrogen is needed. A ton
of lime to the acre. CT perhaps lit
tie less, if suick lime will do, and will
prove beneficial by rendering all the
plant food in the soil available. Al
this season the teams should not be
stopped until the corn ground is ready
for the planter. Narrowing SHOULD
the clods form by drying out. Har
row, and keep on narrowing, then run
a plank drag until the soil is fine, like
an onion bed, if possible. "Work the
corn before you plant it," he says
Lay off rows 8 1-2 feet, dropping
three or four garins in hill, and af
forwards thin to about II inches, on,
stalk in hill.
Before the corn is up run Il har
row over the field, breaking the crust
and also destroying any weeds o
grass that may be starting. TIL,
first cultivation may be done with ;
three or five-foot cultivator, as deel
as you choose. After this run Ia
tooth cultivator through the corn
about every ten days. If the land i
in proper shape, as it will be if man
aged this way, says this good farmer
once in row with the fine cultivator
spread to suit, should be sufficient 70
nearly every row, and two teams will
cover Il large area in n day. Bette
once in Il row every ten days thai
twice every twenty days. Cultivate
at least six times, and ut the las
cultivation sow crimson clover in from
of the cultivators unless the corn i
to be followed by wheat.
This is the method followed by tn
best corn growers. OF course, it i
understood that the very best of see,
corn is used. If not the best meth
DDS of cultivation will fail to pro
duce the best results.
