INTENSIVE FARMING.

SO much has been written and
said about intensive farming that
we have become accustomed to
think that these great yields must
be supernatural, grown upon un,,-
sually rich and highly productive
portions of land, far removed
from our own section, where spec
ial blessings have been showered
uponthe fortunate possesor Of II
vertiable garden of Eden.
This however is not always the
ease, and did we but look around
us we might find some rare in
stances in our midst where a far
mer, here or there, has given more
than ordinary care with the pre-
paration, and tending, Of his land,
that 1.-THE results are worth record
ing.
Such case has been brought to
our attention the past few days,
and it is the more noteworthy in
view Of the frequent complaint
that the crops are short.
Not many miles from town
there is a little plot Of twelve
acres, on Mr. David Walston s
farm, that will produce better
than twelve bales Of cotton, and
on the same patch nearly seven
teen bales have been obtained in
former years.
Mr.. Walston tells us how he
prepares his land, and emphasizes
that it has always been well. and
carefully, fortified. and mere
than ordinary care given IL tie
plants uatil they are hH~.::

that we owed a duty to France and that an opportunity had been pre- sented to repay to her, in some meas ure, the services that she had ren
 dered to us at the time of the revo- luton. Others adhered to the cause of Great Britain and maintained that our ties of blood and language should incline us to that side. Feeling be- came intense and bitter. Valley Forge and Yorktown were forgotten and the effigy of Washington was burned in the public streets of our cities. Our neutrality was violated at home and abroad, political criticism degenerated into sedition and Washington said he would rather be in his grave than be President of the United States. But he adhered to his purpose and that sorry page in American history teaches us that Washington was right.
 Tn the period of the Civil war, Lin coin was similarly attacked. Scarce ly week passed that a delegation did not go to Washington to tell him how to run the government. He was accused of vascillation, of inability to make up his mind. He was called a clown, a butcher, a hell-hound of slavery, a traitor, a despot, a gorilla
 a baboon: a fool. an ignorant back woods lawyer, scoundrel and a will lian. There were Roosevelts in that time; but Lincoln adhered to his purpose and his calm spirit rests to- day like a benediction upon America. He was accused of trucking to Great Britain and was denounced upon the floor of congress. It is reported that when one delegation came to see the president he replied as follows: ..';-.
 "Gentlemen, suppose all the pro- perty you were worth was in gold and you had put it in the hands of Blon- din to carry across the Niagara river on a rope. Would you shake the cable or keep shouting to him, 'Blondin stand up a little straighter, Blondin stoop little lower, go little faster, lean a little more to the north, lean a little more to the south" No, you would hold your breath as we'll as your tongue and keep your hands off until he was safe over. The government is carrying an enormous weight, untold treasures are in thelr hands. They are doing the best they can. Do not badger them, keep sl- lence and we will get you safe across
 Later in the history of our country President Mckinley was the victim of similar vituperation. Mckinley was for peace even when the Maine lay in ruins and implored his country men not to disturb the orderly pro- cesses of diplomacy.
 No one who reads the debates in congress during that period can fail to feel a flush of shame because of the unbridled and malicious criticism to which he was subjected. They called him weak and vascillating and exhausted the vocabulary of Vituper- ation. Evil forces, selfish forces, reck- less forces were at work in America, then as now, and. in the end, forced McKinlev reluctantly into war.
 And now, in the darkest day of the worlds history. Wilson stands like

trails. During the entire march they were beyond reach of relief. They fought several enga gements, were vic- torious in all, and lost but one man. With all due respect to Senator Me- Lean, I assert that there are no sol- diers in the world who could have eX- celled that feat of that little band of American troopers, That is the spirit of America. That is illustra- tive of what Americans can do when put to the test.

 The senator indulges in prolonged and inconclusive consideration of the presidents foreign policies. At one moment he affects to believe the pres ident infirm of purpose. In the next
