"SCRHPPING" THE OLD PARTIES.

Nom artyism, Socialism, Independ-
entism and other isms appear to be on
the rampage, II this spirit prevails for
few years, watch for breakers"
such as will play hob with the peace
and welfare of the country. There 8
danger in 'scapping" the old parties.

ing for a higher standard, then woe be
unto our country.
What good, what success, what prom
inence, praise and honor has come to
the United States during the last sixty
years is due to the wise statesmen at
the helm of the Republican party, the
party of true democracy. You need
not take our word for it., but do as we
do, take history. And then stop and
ponder as to what our country's condi-
ton would most likely have been in at
this time If the great leaders of the
Republican party had been inactive, in
different merely dollar chasers.
1t is admitted that there are those
who have paraded under the RepubIi-
can banner and proved to be a detri-
ment, if not a disgrace. Perchance
there are any INSCRIPTIONS hang

is, believer and adhearer to what the
revered, the immortal Emancipation
preached and practiced, you are not
only good Republican, but a citizen

BoLsHEvIsM AT THE HAGUE
Chicago ,rrihnne.

Chicago Tribune.
Is the attitude of the soviet emmis-
saries at The Hague pure bluff, or does
it represent bolshevik mentality ? Boil
shevism has had Russian affairs in it's
complete control for four years. The
result is bankruptcy and famine. a
country, perhaps the richest in essential
natural resources in the world, with its
people starving its cities half depopu-
lated. its economic constitution in a
state of partial paralysis. The bolshe-
vik power, with its hands red with
massacre and it's gorge filled with prop.
erty conhscated from foreigners and
political enemies, sends its emisaries to
The Hague to demand enormous credits.
If business man came into bank
declaring that he was broke, that he
had burnt up most of hisistock, that he
had robbed his credits andlthat he did
not propose to pay them, but wanted
larger loan-what would happen? He
would not get the loan. He would more
likely get a padded cell in an asylum
for lunatics.
Credit is granted on the presumption
that debts will be paid. .Bolshivism
wants to repudate old loans and get
new ones.

futile. Western and central Europe,

Death Of Paddy Neal Mcguire.

Salem, July 20. - Special: The
death Of Paddy Mcclure, which oc-
Cured on the Gath Of July, came as
shock to many friends here and
elsewhere. His death was unexpected,
though he had been in poor health
for a year or more.
Mr.. Mcclure was a native of Ire
land. He came t. America at the age
Of IS years and had been a noted
peddler in this section Of the State
for many years. He was in his 80th
year, or more, at the time of his
death. The only relative is one bro
ther, whose homo is in Richmond,
Va.
Mr.. Mcclure was at the homo Of
John G. Patterson at the time of his
death. He was member Of the Ro-
man Catholic church, and was an
honest and upright man who attend
ed strictly to his own business and
was square with all mankind.
His remains were laid to rest on
the day following his death, funeral
services being conducted by Rev. w.
0. Holcombe, pastor of the Boone's
Creek church. The interment was in
the cemetery Of that church. There
are many who will learn Of his death
with deep regret.

system, so that he has to get rid Of
about half his trees soon, as they are
beginning to crowd each other. They
are fifteen years old, and one of his
average Yates trees will pick IL to
Is boxes easily, which will sell con-
servatively at $500 per box. Yates
Is the variety on all apple growers
tongues around Cornelia, as they say
their exchange has a reputation now
on this variety, although there are
many trees Of the Terrys Winter
variety and also the Brilliant, Regal,
Kinnard, Stayman, regular winesap,
and few others.
The Stayman winesap and Deli
cious are given good name, but 1t
seems that they have started with a
majority Of Yates trees, and have
made good with them, without hav-
ing many Of the other varieties for
comparison.
The last and most wonderful orch
ard visited was that Of Mr.. Straight,
near Cornelia. Mr.. Straight has only
1000 bearing trees, but they are a
perfectly satisfactory income, and, in
fact, moro wonderful than tho aver
age person would believe. Yates Is
his main variety also. One tree was
shown the party which produced last
year, at Is years old, G2 bushels Of
apples, which sold at approximately
$3.50 per box This year 1t had ap-
proximately SO bushels on 1t, and
many Of his trees would average 25
bushels per tree. Yes, Mr.. Straight
fertilizes his trees, using 20 pounds
Of phosphoric acid and six pounds Of
nitrate Of soda per tree, and he also
sows peas and plows them under.

Woevils In Spots.

On three farms in the New Hope
section examined for boil weevll
work last week, two ofsth'em had
very slight infestation, while one was
only about six per cent. On one farm
In the Shiloh section only six per
cent infestation was found, while on
another farm, in rather low field,
20 per cent was found, this being
the highest infestation found in the
last two or three weeks. On the lat
ter farm it seemed that careful, sys-
tematic square picking had not been
practiced, and on account of rains
very little plowing had boen posi-
BILE for some time.
With the new generation Of wee-
wills getting to work now we may
expect changes In the infestatlon
every few days, probably increasing
unless very dry weather should set
in. Then the dispersion period is ex-
pected to start during the first to the
middle part Of August, when the
weevils will begin flying from the
heavily infested fields 10 other fields,
and spreading around more gener-
ally.
1t Is repeated that frequent shall
low cultivation should be continued
in order to keep the plant in vigor-
Gus condition and continued fruiting,

per supervision is available, thor
