‘ SCORES ROOSEYELT.
The New York World is handling
President Roosevelt with gloves off.
Amopg other things in reference to
the president’s attempt to throttle
the free speech of the press by
threatening to sue that paper for
libel The World says:
“Mr. Roosevelt officially pro
poses to use all the power of the
greatest government on earth to
cripple the freedom of the press on
the pretext that the government
itself has been libeled-and he is the
government
“No other living man ever so
grossly libeled the United States as
;does this president, who l)€smirehes
congress, buildozcs judges, assails
Vo integrity of courts, slanders
,-ivate citizens and who has shown
,*nisHf the mast reckless, unscrup-■
'Hons demagogue whom the Ameri-
Au. p<pie cvAr trltst < •(f with great
potvcrHnd authority.
“We say this, not in j
in sincere sorrow. The World has
immeasurably more respect for the I
office of the president of the Untied
States than Roosevelt has ever
’ctf during the years in which
- fias nnuntaiTieu a reign of terror
hml -villifted the honor and honesty
pfboth public-otfieials and private
citizens who opposed liis policies or
thwarted him in his purposes,
RAISING CORN.
The Williamson method of growing
corn is exciting a good deal of com
ment in some of the Southern States
and, it is to be hoped,is
followed. It consistsjjMhtpfv in
dwarfing the the early
stages of growtljpan.l in throwing
strength Ur during the earing
period. JFTt makes ears at the ex
pense .erf stalks, instead of stalks at
the pence of ears.
Tl#method is nothing new in
this county. Years ago when John
R. Lewis farmed here, it is well
known that he was a successful
corn-grower, and that his success
was due to his using the very system
that is now called the Williamson
method. At the outset, he dwarfed
(\nd, hyplacing the princi
pal' part of the manure in the balk,
reserved it to feed the cars. Hut it
hMsmall matte 1 who gets the credit
orPjtigiuating the system. M hat
thJ Sjjpth needs is more corn, and
she wilt get it if the farmers adopt
the systenf referred to in this article.

JOHNSON ON Ttlf RESIU
Governor John A- Johnson, ti e
and inocrat who has three times Ixan
elected governor of a rank republi
cin state and who was the choice
o' a large majority of the people f< r
the democratic nomination forgpres
i lent, was questioned the other day
regarding democratic affairs aid
said:
“l think the democratic party is
in I>etter position than it was before
tie campaign opened. I am, of
: i vrjH* unable to sav what eauscd
tlf-dt to l>e what it was. Mr.
s much misunderstood.
and was purposely misrepresented;
there was a lack of organization in
the democratic party and a unity
of organization in republican ranks.
Then it i? always so much easier
for the party in power to win.”
ff a northern man is nominated
next term, it should be John A.
Johnson. He has demonstrated
three times that he is a runner of
ability.—Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
