MUST HOLD ELECTIONS.

IF the Republican State committee which at its meeting
in ParkersbuTg Saturday decided that it had power
to deprive the people Of their right to nominate eandl-
lates had gone step further and declared that is not
desirable even in the midst Of to deprive the people
Of their privilege Of holding free and unbammeed cleo
lions, that body would have been following distinguished
Republican precedent closely its reply to the Democratic
suggestion that plan be worked out fer the elimination OF
partisan political campaign in this state this fall.
That is the position Lincoln took when during the mid
de Of his term suggestions SIMILAR to those put forth by the
Democrats came to his attention And worthy Of note
hat when Lincoln decided that it important to
preserve for the people their right to voice in the govern
ment than to undertake to curb partisan ZEAL bite!

But while there was little hope at any stage that any
Undertaking which would limit the activities Of the party
organizations or hamme the constitutional rights OF he
voters could be entered upon at the present time. was
he proper thing for the Republican committee to consider
he Democratic proposal though there was consider
able doubt in the minds Of experienced observers that
he Democrats were acting in good faith. If the party
organizations make an effort in that direction the campaign
can be conducted with a minimum Of raneor and that
would be patriotic public service at hme when the

WHEAT GROWS WELL IN
HENDERSON COUNTY

Editor HuSCler@
You have often heard that Hen
derson county is not a good section
for wheat growing, and many be-
lieve this statement, but those who
were on Mills river during the
threshing season have a different
opinion. Some of the best farms In
the county are on Mills river, and
one of the best there is T. B. Aliens
Mr.. Allen has raised and harvested a
large crop of very fine bearded
wheat. He owns a modern thresh-
er, which is operated and moved
from farm to farm by a kerosene en-
CINE. To see how rapidly and clean
ly this thresher works is indeed won
derful to one who has not seen the
threshers on the great western
felds-reap and thresh at n opera
ton. Only one man with the aid Of
automatic stacker is needed to take
care of the straw. The grain il
cleaned as nicely as any that ha:
ever been shipped here from the
western states. Four hundred bush
els of Nh. Aliens crop has been pur
chased by me for seed wheat.

PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT

(FrOm the HendersonvilIe V~isitor)
: In Hendersonville one hears a great
deal about amusements and enter
tainment for the visitors as we'll as
home folks, with emphasis on the
statement that Hendersonville makes
no provision along this line.
The entertainment problem is quite
a joke when you regard it in a seri-
Gus light. The entertainment COM
mittee does not know in which chan
mel to direct it's efforts. What is good
and wholesome does not please, as
was demonstrated cOnclusively by the
chautauqua, as a result of which
several public spirited citizens will
have to make up a deficit, an uncom-
fortably big one.
Trying to give the people what they
want reminds us of a joke frequent
ly told by an uncle jokesmith about
an amen-corner negro who felt good
during the rmo of the parson and
broke out informally and went to
singing, "Abe's got the coon and gone
O0
on, gone on, gone on; old Abe's got
the coon and gone on and left me
barking up the tree" The parson ex-
~postulated over the Appropriateness
of the song, but the happy black SOU
%retOrted, Il know what dooz my soul
good" and proceeded to sing the song
of Abe and his
We may pose IS the parsOn and say
what is goOdefor the people and what
they should seek in the way Of amuse-
ment, but the people are like the ne
gro-they know what does their soul
good therefore, they throng the
places of light amusement, the tent
show, the carnival with it's gambling
joints, etc. The old saying that you
can lead a horse to water but can't
make him drink holds good i the case
of amusement.
But, in a more serious vein, it is tt
be regretted that a form'of entertain
ment, uplifting, inspiring and varied
as was that of the chautauqua had tc
go begging for an audience.
After all, the entertainment prob
lem will usually adjust itself to ths
taste of the people. Those arranged
by private enterprises will just abou.

CHILDHOOD DAYS
WERE DARKENED
Little Girl Was So IRRITABLE That
Those Who Should Have Been Her
Playmates Avoided Her.

There is nothing so pitable as a
child whose days are saddened by ILL
health, as was the case with little
Sallie Phipps, daughter of Mrs. c. r.
Phipps, 327 South Street, Durham,
who describes her daughters condf-
ton:
"SaIlie, who is now nine yearls old,
was, until quite recently, in such a
physical state that life was miser-
able for her and every one around
her. She was so nervous that the
presence of playing children drove
her almost frantic. This was due to
her health; her digestion was poor
| and her blood became so bad that she
| developed sores over her body. Weak
Iened in this manner she was an easy
| prey for disease and developed Pei
legra. Nothing seemed to help her
until I gave her Peplac, which quick
" brought a change and she cOulG
eat solid food without distress. Her
system is free of Pellagra and she
gained in weight and strength, plays
| with the other children and is as
happy as any child could be-"

WHAT FoDDER-PULLING COSTS

A circular issued by the Clemson
College Extension Service some time
ago on the bad practice of fodder
pulling in the South contains facts
that should be pondered again just
at this time.
Four experiments on the farm of
Mr.. David R. Cocker, at Huntsville,
show that if fodder is pulled when
the bottom leaves begin to turn,
there is a loss of at least "a per cent.
in yield of corr If pulled when
t~hree-fourths of the leaves are dry,
there is about 10 per cent decrease
in yield. The 1913 experiment show
ed a decreased yield of 27.3 per cent.
when the fodder was pulled early;
and 1912 experiments showed a de-
creased yield of 13.1 per cent when
pulled late.
But the above represents only a
part of the total loss, since much of
the loss m through the effect of
the yield of the next years crop.
An experiment to determine just
y what loss there would be from plant
ing "fodder-pulled" corn as compar-
ed with properly matured seed show
ed that there was a decrease of 7.2
per. cent in yield; that there was II
per cent of rotten corn as opposed
2.5 per cent in the other, which
means a total loss of 1877 per cent
from the use of "fodder-pulIed''
seed.-Progressive Farmer.
