We find tbe following In the Lexlng' ton Dispatch: The Moravian Settlement-Extracts From the Colonial Rocords Reveal - Interesting Facts About Salem Grants. ''' -' By J. B. WcCRARY. To the Editor of The Dispatch: : Knowing that you have hundreds of readers who are of Moravian descent or connected by marriage with Mo ravian families,' I send you extracts from the state Colonial Records of the year 1752. This la omy a small portion of a diary kept by Bishop Spangenberg, who was sent out by the Moravian church, of Pennsylvania to locate another settlement in North Carolina. Many Moravian deeds In Davidson county were executed ' by Bishop Spangenberg.- The diary was written In German and was translat ed by Rev. R. P. Llneback, of Salem, whose name is so well known through out the entire state, the extract only relates to the final selection of the vicinity of Salem as the location of the settlement and it throws some- in teresting sme lights on conditions as they existed at that time. A lars"e portion of the survey extended down into Davidson county around and be low Frledburg, which was one of the earliest churches established by the Moravians, who have, given so much religion, morality and good citizenship to the community which they founded and whose churches touay retain the simplicity of the' founders and whose beautiful customs are an Inspiration toward better and higher things. Etraot from Diary. ' . Jany. 8th, 1758. . From the Camp on the Three Forks of Muddy Creek. It, Is the middle of Winter & we have a "smart snow." We still camp out in the-woods sound, - well anu con tented, in the care of our Heavenly Father. Toa:da ,'the close of the year we cama here, and found a body of land wh., perhaps better than any other, answers -the, desired purpose. Had we possessed correct information of this tract of land in the beginning probably we would not have gone to the Waters .of the Catawba, or New River. But the 'Lord had doubtless overruled this tor wise purposes, so that the 100,000 acres were taken up there wh., may be reserved for some special purpofe. As regards this land upon which we have camped, I regard it as a Corner which the Lord has re served for the brethren. It lies in Anson Co., about 10 miles from the Yadkin, on the upper Pennsylvania road some 20 miles from the Va. line. It Is designed to construct a road from nere to a "Landing," where goods bought on the Cape Fear may be brought, then conveye-, 10 their desti nation., fcrom here It Is 150 miles to eald Landing Place Edenton is 350 the nearest, mill U 19 miles distant. The situation of Uis land is quite pe culiar. It has countless springs and many creeks so that as many mills can be built as may be desired.. These streams make many and fine meadow lands and they even may be carried to lands tnat do Hot lie so low.- The stock would have excellent pasturage and might be kept for a number of winters among the reeds on the creeks. There is a great deal of bottom w IT.' is not too wet and may be used for Indian corn,'-and other products of the farm. ,. Of the rest of 'the land, which is either quite level or somewhat in c.lned, there Is a large quanuty here, wh., is good for wheat, corn, &c, &c. A portion has but little timber, for the hunters have so often ruined it with, fire; but it is still not to be de spised. A good manager will cultivate this first, as he will have less trouble and can spare the forests. There are barrens nere. too, and If a man would " Bay it was half good-ne-fourth bad one-fourth middling it would- be cor rect' - - . uut ail lana in v. is so nuxeu and no 600 acres can be taken up without some barrens. There is no lack of stone for building & bro. H. Antes thinks there are good mill stones to be found. Compared - with Nazareth, (Pennsylvania) land is about equal onlythat that has more meadow land than this. The most of the land is level and plain, The ftir fresh and healthy and the - water good especially - the springs, wh., are eald not to fall in summer. According (to-.the laws the hunting and fishing privileges are exclusively ours. In the begin ning a good forester and hunter will be indispensable . The wolves ; and bears must be exterpated as soon as '. possible or stock-raising will be pur sued under difficulties. The game in this region may also be very useful In tha Aral. VAam of tne colonv.

JUSTICE LURTON SEEMS TO BE BETTER THAN WE THOUGHT . Sava the Richmond Tlmes-DIspatch: - The .Eastern Shore Herald makes this comment on Justice Lurton's ad dross nt Hot Snrlnes: "Justice Lurton's speech at the Vir ginia Bar Association fell on grate' ful ears In this part of the wor.d. The 8upreme Court of the United States has been the bulwark of Nationalism In contradistinction to -the Federal . liIoa,,. Tlig. majority of that court v In the past forty-five years seem to al ways forget that it is as much their sworn duty to support , the United State Constitution in what it inhibits or expressly reserves to the states, as It is to uphold what is constitution ally allowed, That the Federal gov ernment is one of limited powers never seems to have gotten through the noddle of Mr. Roosevelt find bis Ilk, even In his most serious mo ments. It is surely time a halt were called In this tendency." Justice Lurton's attitude has met with much approval throughout the south. - . CRIMSON CLOVER. ' - i The N. C, Department of Agrlcul ture sends us the following: Use and Importance. The most urgent need of southern agriculture Is the enrichment of the soil, , To Improve southern soils the ! principal additions needed ate vege-' tame matter and nitrogen. Crimson clover adds both these to the sotl on which It grows; in fact, this method of improving the soil, by the grow lng of crimson clover, is the most gen erally practicable method that can be put Into Immediate effect by southern farmers. This plant is not being grown as ex tensively as it should be, but its cul ture is rapidly extending. It Is an an nual, making its growth between Sep tember and May; and, like all other soil-improving legumes, it is able, when properly grown, to take nitrogen frdm the air and add it to the soil. It possesses decided advantages of cov ering and protecting the soil from washing and leaching during the win ter and furnishing a green manure for spring crops or a succulent and nu trltlous feed at a time when such feed is likely to be scarce. It also makes good bay if cut when just coming Into full bloom; but it should never be fed jifter the crop has ceased flowering. Tne etraw of crimson clover raised and threshed as a seed crop should never be used to feed stock, as the hairs in the ripe flowering heads be come stiff and, when fed to horses and cattle, form hair balls in their stom achs and intestines. The yield of cotton, sweet potatoes, sorghum, corn, potatoes, and other crops following the plowing under of crimson clover is much greater than where such fertilizing is not practiced. 80II and Inoculation. ' Crimson clover is suited to a large range of soils and will grow well all over tbe State of North Carolina. It is very hardy and thrives on soil too sandy for any other species of c'.over. It also grows well on loams, clays, and humus soils. Acid soils should be limed. - Inoculation Is essential to success in growing crimson clover. This Is best accomplished by sowing with the seed three or four bushels to an acre of soil from a field where crimson clover, white clover, or red clover has recently grown successfully. If there ' is an abundance of soil, it is only necessary to apply It immediately after seeding and harrow it in. Always pover the inoculating soil promptly. If there Is only a limited amount of soil,' inoculation may be accomplished by the following method: Fill a pall three-fourths full of inoculating, soil, fill to the top with water, stir thor oughly, allow to settle, then pour oft and use a pint of the clear water to bushel of seed. Pour the seed on a dead floor ana mix the water thor oughly with it. If no inoculating soil is available, cultures may be secured from the United States Department of ' Agriculture or from commercial dealers. Time to 8ow and Amount of Seed to - - Use. v . If crimson clover, is sown too early, the hot. weather sometimes kills the sprouting seeds and the young plants; but if the sowing is delayed too late, the stand Is sometimes Injured because the plants do not get a good start be fore the cold of winter. Seed should be sown in the Coastal Plain Region from the middle of September to the middle of October, In the Piedmont Region from the first of September to the miauie of October, in the Mountain Region from the first of August to the first of September. " " It mil." bj kOivn 10 good advantage on land where cowpeas have been har vested, in cotton after the first pick ing, in corn and similar crops, also in the stubble of grain fields, and in any land lying out If the land i 1 overrun with weeds It will be neces sary to plow It before planting the clover in order to get a good stand. It is well to sow the seed while the soil is moist from a recent rain. 1 From twelve to twenty pounds of cleaned seed should be planted to the acre; fifteen perhaps gives the best results. Forty pounds of seed in the rough is equivalent 10 fifteen pounds of cleaned seed. .. Good 8efld Important. Good seed must be planted if a good stand Is to be secured. The seed de teriorates raDldly with age, and con sequently fresh seed only should be used, - The fresh seed Is highly polish ed and reddish , in color, while the old seed is dull and of a reddish brown color. 'Dark seed should not be pur chased, as it is too old to grow. All the European countries, with the exception of Spain and Turkey, have seed-testing stations varying in num her from oie in Italy to twenty-eight in . Tnrou,h work ot thege ( """---"' r J predate the Importance 01 gooa seea. and as the greater part of that now used in Europe is sold on the basis of accurate tests for purity and ger minatlon, the sale of low-grada, seea has been greatly reduced. A similar condition exists in Canada, where there is a strict law governing the quality of seed sold. At present there are no Federal restrictions on the Imnortatlon of low-grade and worthless seed. As a result, me unit ed States has become the dumping ground for the poor seed 01 canaaa and Europe. : - .. -The stocks of crimson clover are about exhausted all over the country, Seed dealers say that they have never known a season when stocks have been so nearly exhausted as tney nave neen during the past year, so tnai simom tha .nt!r aunnlv of home-Krown seed will be the crop of 1910; but there will be nothing like enough to supply e market and there will be a large im portation. This Imported seed may hn eood. but it very likely win not .ne nit to smard against loss of . money from poor seed, and the still greater loss in the rauure 10 uhwih a.up, nrnhnhie introduction ot eeri- tlllU UV f ' " ous weed pests on the land, only good . a .(.aiiU ha nnrrhsflnd. i t ' The usual prioe of crimson clover is from 3 to $4 a busnei or sixty puuuu, but, due to the scarolty, the quota una lira from 18 to 9.60 a bushel, This, however, should not keep farm- ers from planting crimson clover only make them more careful to secure good seed. That there Is a great difference In the quality of seed sold in the 8tate Is shown by the analyses made at the North Carolina Department of Agri culture. The tests ranged in purity from 20 per cent to 98 1-2 per cent, and in germination from 2 1-2 per cent to 90 per cent It is urged that farmers plant crim son clover this fall, and . that they have tbe seed tested before purchasing it. As it takes from seven to ten days for a report to be made on a test, tbe seed should be sent in good time. Half an ounce Is enough. All samples sent for testing should be addressed to the Seed Laboratory, Department of Agriculture,. Raleigh, N. C, and should be accompanied by the following Information: Name and address of seller, price, quantity offer ed for sale, and address of sender. Seed wlu be tea ted. for any farmer free of charge. O.

As our readers know, the Observer has never ceased to believe that Dr. Cook reached the North Pole, and that the braggard, Peary, did not Accord ingly, the ' following from the Rich mond Times Dispatch does not sur prise us; Another party that set out to as cend Mount McKlnley has returned to Seattle with its enterprise unaccom plished. ' It was composed of repre sentatives of the New York Herald and the Portland Oregonlan. The ex pedition failed because it was insuf ficiently provisioned, but another will he organized for the next spring. The party is called the Rusk expedition alter C. E. Rusk, of Chelan, Washing ton, tne head man, and he believes that the mountain can be climbed. Hn party went up 7,500 feet, as it was. nn in telling about it, Mr. Rusk said: "We took the route followed bv Dr. Cook on the east side of the mountain to Ruth Glacier. On the route we saw abandoned camps and much of the scenery pictured in Dr. Cook's book. That far Dr. Cook's statements were authentic Further I would not say, but I do not believe he ascended the mountain to the top." Mr. Rusk does not believe that Dr. Cook got to the top of tbe mountain, but as far as he followed him he found that "Dr. Cook's statements were au thentic." That is always the way: As far as the discoverers follow Dr. Cook they find that bis statements "were authentic." It is so in what he has written about the Antarctic. It is so about Mount McKlnley, as far as any of them have gone. It is so as to the North Pole. When Matt Henson and Commander Peary reached the North Pole they found there precisely the conditions previously described by Dr. Cook the open water, the purple ice, tho easy travel, the bitter cold, the ter rible desolation. -The truth will yet com') out about Dr. Cook. WHO WILL RESTRAIN POOR ALD- RICHT Norfolk Virginian-Pilot . Mr. Aldrich says he is firm In the determination to retire from the Sen ate next March. As the people of Rhode Island had little or no say in putting him there in the first instance, it is but natural to leave them out of consideration -when it comes to a question of whether or not he shall remain. THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH. Washington Pott The immense increase of population In the past decade as shown by the census statistics relating- to Texas astonishes everybody except Texans. Under tue present ratio Texas Is cer tain to gain eight additional members of congress, and some Texans claim they Will get ten Nor is that -all. Oklahoma and Texas will likely bring the center of population to some point on the bunk of the Ohio river at or near its confluence with the Wabash. The great increase of population at the hoiitU evidences that the north is pouring into that section tens of thousands of its best citizens. This is especially true of Texas and Okla homa. The movement is Just begun, and it is easy Ui imagine what it will be a, decade in the future. Some of the northern republican politicians seem to be agitated over the fact that the soutu as a result of tbe census figures, will gain con siderable political power, and there are suggestions of a force bill, or an appeal to the letter of the fourteentn amendment This is -the unloaded gun the republican party fired with disastrous effect in the fifty-first congress, and It Is likely that - it is yet unloaded, precisely- as it was twenty years ago, The sectional ques tion is now at rest, and it is doubt ful If the party that shall again make It active will get much applause. The south has ricb lands tnat are cheaD in the market, a climate un surpassed for salubrity, a diversity of crops unknown to the north even, a waterpower that . the world can scarcely match, and mineral resources simply (limitless. All that is needed is capital, population, physical energy and business sagacity to make of that section all that the north is. These will all come when half a million northerners shall yearly cross Ma?on and. Dixon's line and take up their fc bode in tbe south. No force bill, no appeal . to the fourteenth amendment, will stop it Nortn and south pre agreed that the sectional queiition is dead and hopeless of res urrection. . -.

The insurgent movement within the Republican party has naturally sug gested the necessity of unloading those leaders whose radical, not to say cor rupt, policies and acts have caused the revolt. Our news columns yester day contained intelligence of the de cisive deleat of Mr. Roosevelt, when hn matched strength with the "Old Guard' as represented by the Republi can Si ate committee In session in New York city. By a vote of 20 to 15, the committee refused to recommend him for temporary chairman of the ap proaching Slate convention, and se lected Vice-President Sherman. This action would seem, surprising as it must have been to so astute a politician as the ex-President, to be indicative of the condition throughout the country. The Richmond Times- Dispatch published yesterday a tele gram from its special correspondent at Beverly, Massachusetts, the Presi dent's summer home, which reviews the situation generally and notes the failure of the President's efforts to readjust the leadership of the Repub lican party. Tha correspondent's statements and views are so important and pertinent that we give them in full Writing from Beverly on Tues day night the correspondent says It may be said tonight with every confidence that the great scheme for a readiustment of leadership In the Republican party, which has been fos- teied enthusiastically m tne last rew days' by some of those cose to Pres ident Taft. has gone on the rocks. It was a beautiful scheme, like that of Secretary Knox for the neutralisation of the ilaachurlan railways. But It has failed, for reasons very similar to those which deieated tbe Knox prop osition, the refusal of the parties most concerned to be neutralized. Senator Crane spent two hours this afternoon talking politics with the President At the conclusion or tne conference he motored in to the execu tive offices here with Secretary Nor ton, who had been present during the talk. ' Mr. Norton remarked cheerful ly tha't the president had sent word to the newspaper men that he was al most afraid to let senator v;rane leave, lest he talk too garrulously. Thereupon the senator blandly de clined to say a single word about his conference with Mr. Taft and even would not admit that politics had been the subject Mr. Norton was equally reticent, and thus there was not word of offlolal report ot, the .discus slon. ,.; ,. .. Situation Not Cheerful. But in spite of the cheerful tone in which earlier in the day had been said that things were eolng very well, and that the prospects were quite promising, it was evident all day that the promoters of the ambitious plan for saving the party at tne approacn lng election had realised their close proximity to the rear. Thfl was even more apparent after the conference with the president.' Of course it did not need the report ot Senator Crane to Inform the presi dent that, so far as Speaker Cannon was concerned, the talk of readjustment-was merely making matters worse. The Danville statesman is making it clearer every day that he intends to go down fighting and to do all tbe damage be can in the process, no matter wbo may be the sufferer. 'he blast of scorn with which he greeted the readjustment proposition in an interview at his home yesterday is only one more admonition to those who have been trying to bring about better situation in the Republican camp that Mr. Cannon will be respon sive neither to persuasion nor force. It is becoming evident also , that Secretary Balllnger, on his side," will take the same position, as far as he is able. Being subject to the will of the president for his tenure of office, he is amenable to discipline by the Presi dent, where Speaker Cannon is not. But there has not been tbe slightest indication as yet that he is even ap proaching tbe point where he would be willing to wield the axe on Balllng er Problems to be Faced. Despite tbe official uncommunlca- tiveness of those present at the con ference this afternoon, there is sub stantial ground for saying that Sena tor Crane called the situation with reference to the speaker and Secre tary Baliinger pointedly to the atten tion of the president There was also some taik about Senator Aldrich. It was pointed out thai many Republi cans believe that Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon have borne the bur dens of the party in legislative mat ters long enough to entitle them to greater consideration than some read Justers seem to be willing to give. And the great difficulty of eliminating Secretary Baliinger from the adminis tration in the immediate future was not overlooked. Senator -Crane has demonstrated amply by his won in in Washing ton that he is an accurate judge of political situations and conditions, snd there is no doubt that a great deal of weight attaches to the report that he made to the president today. The fact is that the Republican par ty is In a very bad way in most, If not an, oi tne states in wuicu it now uub i control. The use of the party whip to compel discipline in states where the Insurgent sentiment has been growing . has resulted disastrously in practical ly every instance. On Verge of Disruption. The o.d organization, which was so tremendously successful for many years, Is on the verge of disruption, and there is no longer the political leadership at the centre that can bring back unity and discipline. Nothing shows it more clearly than what happened in New York City to day when Theodore Roosevelt made his first appearance as an Insurgent leader, and was defeated. The New York Republicans are riding for a fall as hard as they can go, and the up state bosses seem to glory in the dis ruption they are helping along. The same thing Is observable all over the country. New Jersey Is ripe for it. Even in Pennsylvania there are signs of trouble for the Republi cans, and the managers of affairs in the Republican congressional commit tee have been exerting themselves for weeks to get things straightened out there, so as to retain their present strength in the congressional delega tion from New York, and the Republi cans are afraid that Pennsylvania will show a similar result Fears of Losses in New England. New Jersey is almost certain on the present showing to do the same thing. rhere are even Republican rears ot losses in New England, the one sec tion in the whole country which ought to be satisfied with the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. As soon as the mid west Is touched signs of trouble appear everywhere, in the president's own State of Ohio even the pasteboard out of which the latest Republican organization was manufactured two years ago has come unglued. In Illinois, where Insurgency has been held pretty well in check up to now, the election of Senator Lorimer in the legislature and the rampant attitude of Speaker Cannon and some of his followers have all contributed to the disintegration of the organiza tion. Wisconsin is in the throes of the keenest kind of a fight The Regulars have proved that they will knite the Insurgents to the utmost ot tneir ability. There is trouble in Michigan, too. The situation in Iowa was shown thor oughly by the division at the recent state convention, where the Insur gents controlled by S00 odd to 500 odd. In Nebraska the strife between in surgents and Regulars is so bitter as to indicate the election ot a sona Democratic delegation. Kansas .with its Insurgent sweep at the primaries, offers a not much better outlook. The Regulars have al ready lost four members of the house there, and a great many of them can be counted on to see that the success ful Insurgents do not win the elec tion. Recent reports from the Pacific slope have been to tbe effect that things look fairly well there for the Republicans, but with the exception of California, where the Insurgency Is rampant and the hottest kind of etrire is on. there are not enough congress men from all the states put together to make up for the losses possible In Pennsylvania and Ohio. That, In brief, is the situation which the readiusters here sought to relieve. With the -wrecking of their ambitious scheme there is almost nothing left in sight to afford hope of Republican victory, and very small indication of any intention or even willingness of the campaign managers to use the ma terial that might be of active service.
