Mr. Editor: " , Following the spirit of the call, is sued by the Democratic Executive Committee, for the Democratic pri maries in Cabarrus- County, quoting, "The several members of the Execu tive Committee were authorised to extend a peVsunal and hearty invita tion to all those in their respective townships and wards, who desire to affiliate with the Democratic party in this campaign and to snpport its nominees St the November election, td. participate in these primaries,"' the suggestion has been made that the chairman of each precinct cause a roll to be made of all present not heretofore Democrats and who have accepted the invitation in this call, so that the canvassers for the Wilson- Craig-Demoeratie Club may without (rouble and oversight perfect the or ganisation. ' ' It' is reasonable to suppose that any man not heretofore a Democrat and participating in this Democratic primary not only feels, an obligation to support all Democratic nominees but will be proud to join the Wilson Craig Democratic Cluh. Without this roll or record the organization cannot be properly perfected for this campaign and hence it is suggeted that the officials grasp tliia-apportun-ity to make a note' of all those Re publicans present, who wish to join the Democrat in this campaign.

In ap pearance they, hark back to the. joy ous days when men had the courage to gaunter forth in (lie little pancake lids now emulated in old. tin-types and on. the vaudeville stage.

Washington, Ang.' fc. Archbold aHd Penrose were among the first ar rivals. Archbold testified that he made contributions in the campaign of 1904, giving Bliss Wjjien alone in his office, one hundred thousand dol lars in ten thousand dolfar bills. Said he believed $85,000 was given Pen rose and thought this' also was in currency, but was uncertain. He said that be had positive - understanding with ' Bliss that Roosevelt must be personally informed i?f the contri bution, and that Bliss agreed person ally to tell Roosevelt-'P Afterwards jj was reported to him that Roosevelt knew all about it. Archbold alleged that Bliss afterwards asked for $150,000 more. After j conference with John D. Rockefeller and H. H. Rogers, it was decided that they had already given enough. -He said that Bliss told him that he. was making a big mistake, and advised him per sonally that he had better grant the request. As a result rtttJiis rrefnsal Archbold charged that .Roosevelt en gaged in a "most outrageous perse cution" of the Standard Oil Com pany, through Jas. R. Garfield and Herbert Knox Smith. He said that he had asked 'Bliss to protest but Bliss said that he could do" nothing. Archbold said "Bliss did-not say it was because he was refused a sec- ind contribution, but the intimation was plain." DOUBLED THE WHEAT YIELDS Application of Phosphorus to the Soil Made a Great Difference. Returns just reported o fthe 1912 wheat yield on the Illinois experiment field under the direction of Dr. Cyril G. Hopkins show that the application oi pnoepnorous to linnets slots has increased the wheat yields from 14.4 bushels to 28.9 bushels per acre. In the spring of 1912 the farmers of Illinois abandoned 534 per cent, of their wheat acreage owing to winter killing, and the bureau of statistics reported a promise of only 41 per . a . . . cent oi crop on lue remaining acres, thus showing a prospect .of less than one-fifth of a wheat crop as compar ed to normal .season in the State. In view of these facts the tremend ous advantage secured by proper soil enrichment, as shown by results from these experiment fields onght to arouse the liveliest interest in the minds of producers and consumers of wheat. ; Experiments near Urbana gave the following yields to the acre: . -- On unfertilized land o3 bushels; with -.organic manures, 6 JL. bushels; with organic manures and limestone, 6.3 . bushels. ; ; with organic manure, limestone "and phosphorus, 23.4 bushels; 'with organic manures, lime stone, phosphorus and ' potassium, 25.9 bushels. v , s ' 'VV III I If .f ' ;' L.

The farm ers of Rowan county are more scien tific farming this year than ever be fore. They, are growing a great deal of clover, not only because it is" a very remunerative crop, but it is one of the best ways to improve the land. The clover seed is now selling at $0.00 per bushel, but to pet around this high price a large seed huller has been bought and is doing a very big business. It seems that some unusual fann ing is being done in old ttowan county this year, and some -of it is being done right in Salisbury. The story werifout-yesterday that Capt. R. L. Avery had corn 22 ieet tall, but today a report is circulated that M. L Jackson is raising corn with seven well developed ears on each stalk. How the Servant Problem is Solved in Atlanta.

Several years ago the citizens of Oastonia made' sn effort to get a larger and more adequate depot The Southern Railway agreed to build a station, but when the plans were sub mitted to tlie citixens there they de clined to accept the depot offered. ininee mat time tuey nave made a relentless fight for a better ststion. The Southern 'again took the matter up a few months ago and plans for another station were made, and the uuuuing will be erected within a short time. A city 'ollieial here telephoned to (iastonla this morning and asked about the plans for the new depot. lie was informed that the plans call ed for a forty foot shed on one side, a smaller shed at the ends and a long umbrella shed The proposed station for Oastonia is also larger than the prnposed station for Cpncord. A few Hh.vs ajro the aldermen here , requested the railroad to '' build a shed with the proposed sts tion. Tlie request was denied, one of the ollicials intimating that Con- ; cord could either take the station they offered or not have any at all. According to the United States census of 1910 Concord has a popu- , lation of S.715 and Gastonia a pop ulation of 5,759. Just why Gastonia,: with a smaller population, should be ' given a larger and more commodious-: depot than Concord is offered.is rath er ditlicult to understand. .,; Air is food for the lungs as bread is food for the stomach.
