HARD TIMES NO MORE.
(Paul West, in New York World.)
At Chicago bridge parties the prizes
were articles of food, the first prize
being a four-pound 3:eak, the second
fruit and vegetables.
Oh. do not cry. my baby:
Cheer up, prithee try!
We’ll have dinner, maybe.
In plenty by and by.
For mother's at her bridge club,
Ani let us pray she cops,
Because the prize
For which she tries
Is half a dozen chops:
Sister too is playing
With sundry other dames:
If her luck is shaving
She'll win the rubber games.
Oh. pray the prize she'll capture.
To ward off hunger's gripe!
And won't that prize
Make glad our eyes?
It's seven yards of tripe!
Aunty's in the bunch, too.
Playing hard for food:
She may win a lunch, too.
If her cards are good.
Ah, whate'er she brings us.
Anything will suit;
Tire second prize
Is three peach pies
And half a pound of fruit!
So let’s not be repining.
Let's our tear-drops dry;
j We’ll continue dining
Thouzh food be ne'er so high.
And let us thank our stare, dear,
That yen and I should be.
All else above,

THE SMALL FARM THE FARM OF
THE FUTURE.
In the small farm lies the future of
the South. The difficulty in getting
negro labor that is willing to work,
the much more profitable results oi
intensive agriculture, the fact that it
has been demonstrated that it pays
better to raise one to two bales of
cotton to tbe acre than a third of a
bait, and other crops in proportion,
and, above all, the rapidly increasing
value of farming lands, all tend to
lead tb the splitting up of large plan
tations and the establishment of ihe
farms of 100 to 300 'acres, occupied
and worked by their owners.
It is this trend that means the most
for the South of the future. Thfe will
bring its rapid development along all
iine3. As it comes about the conditions
of life in the country will become vast
ly better and more desirable, each
county will show a tremendous in
crease in assessable values, roads,
schools, everything that makes life
more pleasant outside o fthe cities, will
show a vast betterment. Agriculture
will never revert to its former condi
tion of irksomeness and hardship, ft
is destined more and more to become
a life not only of comparative freedom,
but of increasing comfort, pleasure
and profit. And the smaller farms will
do their part in establishing this new
state.
An exchange points out that all of
the instances of intensive agriculture
in America pale in interest alongside
of those afforded by the market gar
dens of such countries as France and
Belgium. Think of a little farm cf
two and a half acres which gives em
ployment for a full working day to
eight men and women and which is
alleged to give nearly 125 tons weight
of produce during one season. This
seems incredible, but one instance is
giver bv Ernest Po.de in Success Mag
azine. It was a French market gar
dener, 'by the way, who demonstrated
at Kansas City, last year, that one acre
intensively cultivated will produce
enough to support a small family—
not merely furnish it food for its own
sustenance, but enough to sell and
thereby secure the other necessaries
of life. This was done a't a minimum
expenditure of fertilizer and on ordi
nary soil.
But the French farmer has studied
the art of making the soil produce its
utmost and he not only does this, but
Lie actually makes his own soil. Hav
ing made it he considers it personal
property, and if a lessee he carries his
soil away with him when he surren
ders his lease. More than half the
farms of France, we are told, are but
two or two and a half acres in extent
and no wonder. The rent of tbe land
would buy a small farm in Sumter coun
ty, with all this section's superb ad
vantages. Two and a half acres of
this French land we are told would rent
for from SSCM) to $1 250 a year. This
is for the mere foundation on which he
spreads tbe soil he has made and the
farm buildings. Yet the French far
mer pays such rents and makes enough
to live on in comfort, to keep a balance
in bank and even, it would seem, to
invest in good securities.
These simple French farmers are
producing as many as seven crops a
year, it is asserted, front these tiny
farms which are never allowed to rest
and on which no space is wasted; for
the pathways are less than a foot wide,
boxes and barrels take the place of
wheelbarrows, and only hand tools are
used. Like the soil, the climate with
which the French peasant works is
largely artificial. He makes great use
of glass, though not so much of
greenhouses, apparently.
The lesson of it all—or one lesson
—is that this world is capable of sup;
porting in comfort many more people
than are now living on it, if properly
treated. IV population twenty-fold'
arger than that now' found in America ;
muk! live with more general comfort 1
within its bounds if these things were,
understood and practical.
ROOSEVELT IS
NOW ON THE
DEFENSIVE
New York Campaign a Hard
Fought Onei
I '
Betting Continues Heavily in Dix's
“ Favor and This is Taken as’a
Omen of Certain Democratic Suc
cess in Coming Election.
New York, Nov. 2.—While the indi
cations continue to point to the elec
tion of John A. Dix. Democrat, as gov
ernor of New York, developments cf
the last few days seem to justify the
assertion that it is not going to be a
.andslide in the ordinary aceeption of
that word. Conditions do not yet war
rant' extravagant predictions as to
pluralities, although the campaign
managers on both sides are indulging
in this customary and somewhat ab
surd habit ten days before election.
Prentice, the Republican State chair
man, for example, i 3 prophesying a
plurality of 100,000 for Stimson, while
men identified with the management oi
the Democratic campaign are striking
the high spots in computing the mar
gin Dix will have. Although it is pos
sible the election will produce great
surprises, it is not yet safe to venture
30 recklessly into the realm of fore
cast at this time. The betting odds
are still heavily in Dix's favor, aud
this iu itself is naturally one of the
most auspicious omens of Democratic
success. The betting brokers report
they Lave difficulty placing money at
2 to 1 on the Democratic candidate.
Teddy the Central Figure.
Coi. Roosevelt continues to be the
central figure in the campaign, and
Iby this time he has been practically
j despoiled of ail of the dignity which
| in the past has surrounded the person
jof an ex-Presidenc. All of the prin
cipal Democratic stump speakers and
the newspaper editors who are advo
cating the election of Dix are firing
.broadsides at him daily, and it is
astonishing the amount of ammunition
they have on hand. The heat of the
. conflict has made them forget that the
,' man who they are assailing was the
head of the nation for seven and a half
Tears, and they are treating him with
. | even less consideration than they are
t \ Stimson, the man he is supporting.
• The violence of their attacks may even
ibe compared with those made in the
j past upon ' Dick'' Croker, when he was
| the Tammany chieftain, and upon
Charles F. Murphy, who now is leader
|of that organization, although the
I charges of corruption and graft level
: ed against Tammany are not embraced
in the counts against Roosevelt.
Sonic Criticisms of Mr. Roosevelt.
One of the leading New Y'ork news
papers always refers to the colonel as
,! “the superhuman,” and another calls
his sarcastically, “the only honest
man.” The cartoonist are going the
limit in caricaturing him, while the
latest efforts of the editorial writers
have been to show that the colonel
lacks in ordinary courtesy by not
acknowledging he made a mistake in
coupling up Dix with the wall paper
trust, which was dissolved some years
prior to the decision of the Supreme
Court last year, when a judgment was
rendered in favor of a Cincinnati firm
which refused to pay ‘bills rendered on
the ground that the combination had
been operating in violation of the Shier
, man antitrust law. The colonel’s crit
, ics are also questioning the refinement
of his instincts for not making amends
to Julge Baldwin, the Democratic can-
I dilate for governor in Connecticut,
j for his alleged misrepresentation of
the judge's views on the subject of
| workmen’s compensation.
Doesn’t Enjoy Being Target.
The colonel does not enjoy being
. made this kind of a target, but finds
, he must continue to work, desperately
to turn the threatened Democratic
triumph! into a Republican victory. In
order to accomplish this aparently un
, attainable result it will be necessary
, for the Republicans up-State to cast
their normal vote, and to come down
to Greater New York with a plurality
of more than 100,000, in order to over
come the preponderance of the Dem
, ocratic vote in the metropolis. Roose
velt, fully alive to the necessity, has
been laboring indefatigafoly to prevent
the defection of the workingmen in tbe
up-State cities and of the farmers, who
heretofore have been very regular in
their Republicanism. All of his speech
es in the labor centers have been de
signed to convince the men (who work
in toe factories and mills of the abso
lute sincerity of his interests in them
and to counteract the effect of the
charge of the Democrats that he and
his party are largely responsible for
the cost of living.
One Hope for Stimson Tieket.
The colonel knows that runlese the
Republican working men and the
farmers are loyal this fall there is
absolutely no chance for success and
the Republican state committee has
been engaged in making a very careful
canvass of the sentiment of these
classes of voters. They also have been
trying to ascertain the true signifi
cance of the silence of tbe Catholic
clergy, who in the past seldom hesitat
ed to express their interest in Mr
Roosevelt and his aspirations. But
since the colonel's experience with the
Vatican last spring there has been ap
parent a leas cordial feeling toward
him among some of the leading men oi
tbe Catholic Church, and it is gener
ally accepted in New York that this in
fluence will not be exerted in behalf
of the colonel’s ticket this year.
Roosevelt in the past was also very
strong on the lower East Side, where
there is a large Jewish population, and

IT’S ANOTHER
BIG CARD
FORMER
Recent Incident is Advertis
ing the County.
Editorial From yesterday's Atlanta
Constitution Brought About Dy
News Item From Americus—Pub
lic interest Being Kept Centered
on Progress Hereabouts.
Again Sumter county is being well
advertised hy its forward steps in
agriculture. This time it is the recent
incident of hauling forty bales of cot
ton over the good roads of the county
to Americua, forty bales iu one load,
that is exciting general comment and
centering attention on this city and
county. Here, for instance, is a lead
ing editorial from the Atlanta Con
stitution of yesterday under the cap
tion of “The Farm Run By Machin
ery.”
"This achievement of a prominent
Sumter county farmer, recorded in ths
Constitution, should be an inspiration
to wideawake farmers everywhere:
Americus, Ga„ October 29.—(Spe
ciai.)—Forty bales of cotton constitut
ing a total weight of 22.010 pounds,
were hauled to Americua this after
noon at a single load, the largest, it is
believed, ever hauled in Georgia at
one load.
‘The cotton was packed upon a
home made plantation van and was
hauled four miles from one of the
fine farms of Captain Malcomb B.
Council pulled by his gasoline engine
employed in general plantation work.”
"Forty bales of cotton, 22,010 pounds
dead weight, in one load would seem
to be the limit of practical (Utility or
spectacular demonstration.
“It did not require a half dozen
teams of fine mules to do the haul
ing, either. This progressive Sumter
county farmer has passed that stage.
When the load of cotton was ready to
move, a gasoline engine was taken out
of the fields and hitched to the planta
tion van.
"As the mountain of cotton made its
wa.y over the four miles of well-pav
ed highway there was furnished to
tae citizens of Sumter a demonstra
tion of scientific farming and of good
roads that will be of inestimable vakm,
"Not every Georgia cotton farmer is
aide to duplicate the methods of Cap
tain Council, for gasoline engines cost
money. But a dozen can combine and
do it.
"A few weeks ago in an interview
Governor Brown pointed out how prac
tical co operation among farmers
might lighten the burdens and improve
the condition of each. If A, B, C, I), R
and F unite and buy a gasolene engine
under an arrangement by which A uses
it Monday. B on Tuesday and F on
Saturday each man is on the road to
owning six sixths of an engine, instea l
of only one sixth.
In addition to the infinite variety
of uses to which such a valuable piece
of machinery may be put on the farm,
there is the additional saving of the
farm horse for work in the fie'lds, while
the engine does the hauling to mar
ket.
“But hack of the story of a success
ful farm and its easy access to profit
able markets lies the explanation of
good roads.
"Lacking the paved l highways the
demonstration hy Captain Council
could not have been made.”

REV. HARDIX IS INSTALLED
AS PASTOR AT CORDELE
VViH Preside Over the Presbyterian
Church There.
Cordele, Ga., November 2.—Rev. W.
S. Hardin, of this city, was formally
installed pastor of the First Presby
terian church yesterday. The Instil
lation services were conducted by Rev.
P. O. Coble, pastor of the Vineville
Presbyterian church, of Macon, th*
ceremony being both instructive and
impressive.
- '— ! >— ■
his popularity among this part of the
electorate waa enhanced by his ap
pointment of Oscar Straus as Secre
tary of Commerce and Labor, the only
Hebrew ever picked for a place in the
cabinet. But there is now apparent
less enthusiasm for the colonel than
formerly, and one of the reasons as
cribed is that the merchants and shop
keepers in this section believe he is
something of a deterrent to that de
gree of business activity-which is an
assurance of greater prosperity. The
colonel intends to appeal to these peo
ple this week in order to check a
threatened slump in their vote.
Waits in Vain for Word.
Republicans who have contended
that S timson’s chances of election
would be improved if the colonel dis
avowed further presidential ambition
are still waiting impatiently for him to
say the word. The implied prediction
of Senator Root on Friday night that
Roosevelt might become the candidate
for President again has served to
strengthen the suspicion with respect
to his plans. In many quarters, es
pecially where Roosevelt is strong'y
suspected of desiring to succeed Taft,
the senator's remarks are construed as
literally representing the former Pres
ident’s views, and as a result greater
efforts will be male by anti-Roosevelt
Republicans to keep the Democratic
cause.
