U.i PROPOSED INDIOTMENT' IN
190a
Does the Democratic party
need any issues for the 1908 cam
j paign in view ot tne fact that the
party can go into the fight with a
. terrible indictment against the
4 iiepuDHcan party for corruption,
-graft and general cussednesst
;. The Atlanta Constitution and the
Washington Post interest us along
j . mis line, and both have samething

j,i v torial in the CJonstitution says
' K ; ! Another count in the indict-
v:.. ;ment which the people of the

Comenting upon what our At-
j, lanta contemporary says the Post
remarks:
. "The enterprise displayed by
Mr. Bryan in finding and polish
ing up new issues to be utilized as
planks in the Democratic plat
form of 1908 is not the only evi
:., dence of interest and industry ob
servable on the part of the scat
:4 tered remnants of a party that
would be great in numbers if it
could but get itself together, and
great in usefulness if it could or
f"" would discharge the obligations
; incumbent on the oposition party.
. The Atlanta Constitution is not
following the Bryan lead, is not
Ti-ith a atiAntr if rsHinalitntg io nnt
"paramouhtin government own
vership of public utilities, or sug
r... gesting a wild rush away from
the sane and safe and into the pro-
foundest depths of paternal cen-,-r'traiization.
' The Constitution's
plan relates most to the past and
j. resent than to the future, more
to a condition than to a theory. In
stead of pointing out new ways
and asking the country to adopt
them and walk therein," the Con
stitution proposes to arraign the
Republican party for crooked
walking in old ways. It is an in-
dicunent rather than a collection!
of isms that our Atlanta contem-.
porary, greatly aided by depor
able events, proposed to put in the
place usually occupied by the
platform.
"It is, indeed, 'a sickening
story but it is just what might
have been expected under the cir
cumstances. Qiven a free hand.
or unopposed and practically un
restricted sway for a long time,
any party in charge of our gov
ernment might be expected to
make that sort of an exhibit. Of
iourse, the ruling parly must be
held primarily responsible or its
2.scals and their evil deeds, but
is there no responsibility attach
ing to the opposition that fails to
oppose to a great party that
wastes its strength and its oppor
tunities in factional contentions?
" We recollect that when - the
postal frauds came to light our
Atlanta contemporary counted on
them for , the ousting of the Re
publican party in 1904, but it is
not apparent ihat they cost the
Republican ticket Presidential,
Congressional, or local a single
vote in any State. Perhaps the
strong efforts of the government
.to detect, convict, and punish the
gtriity had some effect on the vot
ing. If so, will a continuance of

Raleigh, N. C, July 12.- The com
mittee from the State Board of Agri
culture to locate the truck test- farm
met here to-day and decided to retain
the farm at Wlllard. The committe
issued the following statement, to the
public, explanatory of its action'
"The committee has given much
time and thought to the selection of
a site for the test farmIor truck' crops
in the eastern part of the State. The
importance of the undertaking and
interest in it has demanded this. A
large number of towns were visited
and the tracts of land offered were
carefully examined. V
The Department of Agriculture
has been conducting experimental
work for a number of years, and as a
result of its experience the commit
tee was able to begin the seeking of
a site with reasonably definite ideas
as to the necessary requirements.
"First, importance was attached to
types of soil, which must be such as
are ufced for producing large and im
portant truck crops, particularly ones
wfcich are grown on large areas and
are more in the nature of staples.
Not only should the types of soli be
satisfactory, but the particular tract
selected must have at least a consid
erable area of uniform soil, having a
good average depth of clay containing
subsoil. This is absolutely essential
for comparative results in experimen
tal work. One line of tests will be
with various kinds of truck crops.
Two hundred and seventy-nine kinds
of cabbage seed were' experimented
with this season to determine their
comparative yields and other qual
ities. If the subsoil on which a test
of this kind is made is at a very vary
ing depth, the results will not show
the comparative merits of the differ
ent kinds.
"In the case of fertilizer and other
experiments the same is true. In any
kind of experimental work,' even in
obtaining new facts, it is necessary to
compare the old with the new to de
termine the relative merits of old or
new facts or methods of crops. Uni
forniland is essential for this.
"The above are some of the mahi
considerations leading the committee
to place the first and greatest import
ance on the type of land in making
ita decision.

in this section. Mr. Gore has been
president of the Great Falls Manufac
turing Company at Rockingham, N. C,
for several yedrs and is not without
successful experience in cotton mill

of the Marlboro Mills is hailed with
delight by the stockholders and others

election will be interesting as well
as gratifying news to them.
For the present the duties of the

to his Great Falls mill at Rockinham,

Early, yesterday afternoon she pur

Ry the time the ambulance could reach
her and she could be transferred to the

Dogali, lying at the toot of West

ored refugees to Africa. The rumor
spread quickly and 'hundreds of ne
groes, excited by the riot of last night,

dued with difficulty, held in check by

Newton Enterprise: Mr. Forney
Wilson's crop of wheat of 66 acres
threshed out 1,200 bushels. He has
sold 1,000 bushels of it to the Newton
..oiler Mill fx $1,000. He will keep
back 200 bushels for bread and seed
wheat. The only cash paid out on this
crop was $70 for fertilizer. Where a
maa does all the work with his own
family, as in the case of Mr. Wilson, It
will be seen that there is a nice net re
turn in raising wheat, as well as in
raising cotton.
