A VALUABLE FEATURE.
One feature, and the most valua
ble, possibly, of the proposed corn
growing contest, has hitherto been
given but little attention. That Is
the Interchange of experiences among
the farmers of a county, by means of
the records and rejpbcts. Another
farmer has much thoT same sort of
land as yours. If he gets better re
sults than you get, you are naturally
Interested in knowing how he did It.
If you beat him. you are doing him a
service by showing how you did It
One" of the conditions of the con
test Is that a record shall be kept of
the method of culture. It will not be
much trouble to write a brief ac
count of each successive step of the
cultivation. If several dozen, or sev
eral scores of Beaufort county farm
ers keep such a record of one acre of
corn for one season, it will be of Im
mense value to ever/ farmer in the
county, for these records and the re
sults will be made public. ^
You coul.d< hardly expect that the
other farmers of the community will
make these efforts for your benefit:
th? best that*>ou can do, toward In
suring the miccess of the , movement,
is to^enter in the contest with earn
estness and enthusiasm. . You will
? v -have Lb V Insured^ its aycqpsH, so far
Ifcs yo??afra cahceraed. ? *
PUBLICITY DUE THE MASSES.
There are a few things that are so
coarse and shocking as to get on the
nerves of even a newspaper man.
Things like a man whipping his wife;
the turning of the deaf ear to worthy
appeals for charity and the smother
ing In embryo of a church scandal or
a fist and skull fight in -a fraternal
lodge room. Aren't those fierce prop
ositionsT And yet there in scarcely
a town of the size of Gainesville In
the 8tate that has been fortunate
enough to escape one of these dis
graceful. heartless acts or crushlngly
Immoral episodes. And our own
town occasionally gets here.
* There is scarcely a month passes
that the newspaper men of such
towns are not requested to withhold
publication of some one or more of
these monstrous charges, the neglect
to glve^charfty wBfcre charity should
be bestowed, or to refrain Tor a lot
of flimsy excuses from publicity that
should be given immoral "behavior or
those out of the pale of religious
guidance. And rather than bruise in
dividual hearts, give a picture of the
heartlessness of some men and wom
en and tyrn the blasts of withering
criticism upon tljose combined to
gether for mutual and fraternal good,
the newspaper lath of scorn and chas
tisement is many times withheld,
taught at law; young men who scout
and younger women and girls, old
men whose behavior sets at naught
all the traditional conventionalities
and they appear in social roles that
would cause their dead grandmothers
to turn over In their graves in dis
gust.
It Is reprehensible in any news
paper to invade the sacred precincts
of a private home, even though its
closet contains a skeleton; but when
people of either sex or condition In
life, set a public example, that is a
menace to the moral, social or church
Viand Ing of a community, the people
of good intentions, pure lives and ad
mirable character should be shielded
from the aspersions that are sure to
be cast upon that community and no
newspaper ethics will be violated
when publicity of such actions are
given.? Gainesville (Tex.) Dally Rlg

THE BATTLESHIP RACE.
< Raleigh Times. )
The race In battleship building con
tinues unabated. Now Secretary
Meyer coitoes forward with the prtfpo*
sitlon that the United .States build,
next year, a 12.000-ton ship. This
monster, If constructed, will cost
$18,000,000. U will be by far the
larfeet battleehlp afloat. That la for
a little jrhlle at .least. Bat It would
Z taftrtfly maintain ?tbat -supremacy long,
for Its construction would start other
-MtlofcB t? build on larger plans aad
iHaiiiiiiisnii n r i nirah
this In turn would cmi\ for more ships
of the hd? kind ro toe built *> the
United States. This striving for the
W||Mt battleship. a game of rivalry
at which nations play, ia a foolish pol
icy. There can lp no end to It be
cause of the constant striving of the
nations to surpass each other, unless
there could be some International
agreement limiting the else of ships.
Of the futility and harm of this pol
icy the New YorkWocld says:
"A few years ago it was thought
| that the Ignited States navy had
j reached its limit In the 16. 900-ton (
battleship. This month the 20.000
ton battleship Delaware was deliv-j
ered to the government, and In a few'
weeks its sister ship, the North Da
kota, will be ready. Contracts have|
been awsrded for the Arkansas and:
Wyoming, each of 26,000 tons. Now
Secretary Meyer proposes that next
year congress authorize a 32,000-ton!
battleship, to be the largest in exist
ence. The estimated ' cost will be
abput $18,000,000, as compared wlth|
$8,000,000 for the 16,000-ton Hag-,
ship. Connecticut. -
"When the British government!
built the original Dreadnought it not|
only rendered obsolete a large fleet1
of its own battleships, but it started'
the other nations of Europe in a mad1
race of naval construction th^t(
threatens to bankrupt them. The
first effect of the building of a 3 2,-j
000-ton battleship by the1 United)
States will be to render the greater^
part of the "existing battleship fleet;
out of date and to destroy Its homo
geneity, which naval experts have ar
gued is an essential for successful
operation. Many harbors will be
closed to so large a vessel, and naval
drydocks must be enlarged or new
ones provided to receive it. At the
same time while the cpst of the new
standard of battleship Increases rap-;
Idly with its slxe and armament, the
navy department shows^no disposi
tion to moderate its demands as to
the number of new battleships to be
laid down each year.
"The whole Dreadnought policy,
ever since Great Britain first adopt
ed it, has worked wherever tried. It
has led constantly to fresh excesses
of militarism, burdensome taxation
and bloated armaments that in them
selves are^ a menace to the peace of
the world."
GEXATOR GORDON'S FAREWELL
SPEECH.
** i Baltimore Sun.)
Sen. Gordon's valedictory speech
on Thursday In the Senate was bo
full or the milk of human kindness
that he won the good will and ap
plause of all listeners. Its reasoning
w,;as good, but the emotional appeal
was even better. The aged Senator,
animated by a patriotism that Includ
ed the whole country, expressed a
wish that ^ason and Dixon'ii^ line
were obliterated from me%'s hearts
as ?#ell A from the map. HI4 llf*
had been an active one. As a soldier
In the Confederacy's service he bad
played a prominent part and won dis
tinction. He had possessed great
wealth, much of which was Invested
in slaves, and "the rest he had spent
on his friends lige a gentleman." He
was no mollycoddle. Yet out of his
wisdom and the largeness of his heart
he had learned the secret of happi
ness, which is to love your neighbor.
Within the scope of his liberality he
Included John D. Rockefeller and
even Senator Helburn, of Idaho, woh
recently In the Senate objected. to the
placing of R. E. Lee's statue in Statu
ary Hall. Denunciation is a facile
form of rhetoric ? the easiest line of
flow for undisciplined speech. To
praise with discrimination and gen
eral assent Is the difficult feat which
the Mississippi Senator achieved
amid the applause of his "grave and
reverened" auditors.
The Senator spoke his mind free
ly. without garrulity, and succeeded
because he spoke with admirable
good sense a thought which Is nowa
days in everyone's mind ? namely,
that the civil war. with its animosi
ties, Is now in the remote pasL and
should be forgotten. The rac^prob
lem was touched upon. He wanted
the bayonets taken away from negro
soldiers quartered In the South, be
cause the negroes "are only partially
civilized." This angular chunk of
political wisdom was, however, nicely
sugarcoated. so that It gave no of
fense. "I love the negro." said the
Senator, and to pmsajt he read this
stanza of a poettfZhe had written to
"My Old Black Hum! "

Like an angel In dreams she comes
to me yet.
"Those ar6 our sentiment*," he
added at the cloae, and the listening
Senate, Hey burn included, broke out
in applause. The Senator's speech, In
short, ^ras In the right key and did
good, effecting far more toward ad
vancing the present era of good feel
ing than a more precise oration could
have* dona. ' ' ? ?
