A COMPROMISE
EFFECTED HERE

AT the regular meeting Of the
board of mayor and aldermen OF
Dresden, held on Tueday night OF
last week, an ordinance was passed
prohibiting the running tractors on
the streets of Dresden, with especial
reference to tractors carrying Jugs
on the rear wheels.
ESQ. A. C. Bondurant has been
operating two tractors into town
with lumber wagons attached behind.
Mr.. Bondhrant employed counsel
and was about to enjoin the town
from molesting his tractors, but the
injunction, which was set for hear
ing before Judge Elkins last Satur-
ray, was withdrawn and compro-
mise effected between Mr.. Bondu-
rant and the city of Dresden, where
by Mr.. Bondurant is permitted to
run his tractors over certain streets,
which are not surfaced, to the depot,
where the lumber is being brought
for shipment.

HOW TO MEET LABOR
SCARCITY QUESTION

It is an easy matter to kill two
birds with one stone. Power ma
chinery on the farm reduces the
number Of men required to do a
given amount of work and enables
the farmer to pay good wages for
the reason that he secures enough
service from his employed labor to
justify it. There is every reason
why he should use more power and
more labor-saving machinery on the
farm, and make it possible for one
man to turn off the work now done
by two or three men. One and two
row cultivators viii make it possible
to do more work at less cost and
largely solve the labor problem

A concerted southwide programme
for the four years that remain of the

APTIST CON,

BREAK RECORD

Washington, May 8.-A record for
attendance at the Southern Baptist
convention promises to be broken at
the seventy-fifth annual session,
which opens here Wednesday. The
local entertainment committee al
ready has made definite assignment
to quarters for more than 1000 and
requests for Accommodations are, still
pouring in.
In addition to marking the dia-
mond jubilee anniversary of the con-
vention this years session has been
designated a victory convention in
commemoration Of the success Of the
denomination in raising more than
$90,000,O0O for the enlargement of
its missionary, educational and be-
nevolent work on 10 foreign mission
fields and in II states.
Final figures on the amount OF
money subscribed for the enlarge
ment programme, as well as the
amount of cash paid in, will be pre-
sented to the convention. Indica-
tons are that cash contributions for
the last year will be double those
reported to any previous convention.

NEWS FROM THE AGRICULTURAL ;lliIfi::

First weeq in May is the usual
cotton planting week for Weakley
county farmers, but very little plant
ed, due to the unfavorsbIe weather.
Only a few places could plows run

general on Tuesday, bnt soon came
to a standstill by an extremely
heavy rain Wednesday morning
which brought blowing work to an
end till Friday, and then only in
places.

will also test out the demonstration
plans for preparing and cultivating
a corn and cotton patch.

A trip through the 18th district
on Friday found plows running or
most every farm. Some few farmers
had finished planting cotton, others
planting and potato slips being
drawn. About the usual acreage OF
potatoes will likely be planted, if
conditions will permit, and some
more cotton. These good farmers
are not overlooking the food and
feed problem. Good fields Of grass
and clover are seen and good prep
aration for corn and beans have
been started.

Mr.. Mead Glasgow, residing near
Wesley's Chapel, has made plans to
do some intensive cultivation this
season. A part Of his usual tobacco
acreage will be planted to soy beans
for hay and two acres sweet pota-
toes and an acre of sorghum. Plans
are also laid for the construction of
a potato house and a modern poul-
try house. A one-acre orchard, 100
hens and ten colonies of bees, to-
gether with good garden, provides
good side line to the farm.

Cow peas and soy beanS seed are
scarce which will naturally cut the
acreage. However, scarce as they
are, some should be planted to save
seed from. Due to the scarcity of
seed, they should be planted in rows
and cultivated. One bushel Of soy
beans should plant three acres by
placing rows 80 inches apart. The
same for peas and ordinarily as
much hay can be cut as when sowed
at the rate Of bushel and half to
the acre and no cultivation.

then be followed by a top harrow or
section harrow.
In the planting Of bottom land to
corn and other crops it would be a
good policy to follow the planter
with single shovel, making an open
furrow half way between the plant
er tracks. This would insure good
drainage if rains continue as they
did last year and if continued dry
no harm would be done. During
warm spells corn usually comes out
of the ground on the fifth day. To
harrow a field before corn is us,
which is a good practice, it should
be done on the fourth day.

A number of farmers are plan

sorghum is a great incentive to at

An early patch planted near the

good substitute for high priced feed.

New York, May 24-PoliticaI
maneuvering is going on within the
two major parties with increasing
rapidity in an effort to narrow the
field of presidential candidates as
much as possible before the national
conventions.
Almost every day reports are cir
culated of some new trade" or "com-
bination'' attempted by the various
leaders. Owing to the fact sentiment
has not yet crystallized sufficiently to
make two or even three candidates in
each party stand out to the extent of
overshadowing all rivals, the practical
politicians have the biggest task in
this direction they have faced in re-
cent years.
Rank and File Objects.
Indications are becoming stronger
that the majority of party leaders
have begun to rally about a particular
tons are just as strong that these
leaders are experiencing the greatest
difficulty in convincing the rank and
file that their selections will insure
victory in the fall elections.
According to the best available in
formation, Governor Lowden of Ilh-
nois has at present the strongest back
ing among the Republican regulars.
There is said to be an analogous stu
alton among the Democrats regarding
Governor Cox of Ohio.
The situation confronting these Re
publican leaders, however, is believed
to be complicated by the fact that Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood is practically GER
tain to go into the Chicago convention
with the greatest initial strength.
while Senator Hiram Johnson is ad-
mitted by even his most bitter Repub-
Iican opponents to be the best vote
getter" among the party's candidates.
Furthermore, it is alleged that the
organization built up around Wood is
fully as powerful as the regular Re
publican machine.
Wood Machine Is Powerful.
AS regards the Democrats who want
Cox, they are confronted by the prob
lem of eliminating William G. Nc
Adoo, who, according to his friends,
not only will possess the greatest
strength at the opening of the San
Francisco convention, but is backed
by an organization similar to Wood
and has vote getting qualities similar
to Johnson's.
All these factors are serving to en-
liven the presidential convention cam
paigns, which so far as selection OF
delegates is concerned, is rapidly
drawing to a close. Political observ-
ers are generally firm in the belief
that the present maneuvering will
largely go for naught and that the real
battles must be fought out on the con-
vention floors.
