It is said Texas petroleum will be
extensively used as fuel for steam
producing purposes in that state and
elsewhere.
It now seems quite likely that the
liquor traffic will be a prominent is
sue in the next campaign for gov

H. G. Thurston, of Titus county,

It would be rather previous for
any state convention now to attempt
to dictate a platform for the nation
al democratic party, to be used in
1904
About two weeks ago Mr. W. A. i While it cannot be definitely de-
Orton, associate pathologist in the j termined now what may constitute
TJ. S. department of agriculture, was j the issues in the next presidential
campaign, it is certain that the de
mand for free coinage of silver has
been much decreased by the great
increase in the production of gold
On this subject our Washington
correspondent says:
"From present appearances
seems to democrats in this city that
free silver will bs practically drop
ped from the next platform of the
party. From every section come
statements showing that the leaders
generally seem to consider that the
plentifulness of gold makes a further
insistance on silver to maintain a suf
ficient currency unnecessary. MosH
significant is an interview given out
by Mr. Towne, one of the most ar
dent silver men in the country. Mr.
Towne’s friends in Washington have
known for some time that he favor
ed going slow with the silver issue
in the next campaign and not press
ing it in the face of other "para
mount issues.” When in Washing
ton several days ago he expressed
no dissatisfaction with the omission
of the silver plank from the platform
of the Ohio convention. He-said
‘Free silver as an issue is absolutely
dead in the west. I do not believe
it will be mentioned in the demo
cratic platform or campaign of 1904.
The feeling among democrats there
is that they want to win, and they
do not care what kind of a platform
they have so long as it brings victo
ry. There is a strong feeling in the
west in favor of the nomination of
Mr. Hill, or some other man from
sent into southeast Georgia to
vestigate a disease that was destroy
ing cotton in that section: “wilt dis
ease,” or “black heart.”
In the report published in the At
lanta Constitution we find the fol
lowing:
“Mr. Orton is a native of Ver
mont, and when asked why it was
that a Vermont instead of a south
ern man was assigned to the inves
tigation of cotton and its diseases,
replied that the government would
be more than glad to assign this
work to a southern man who had
grown up in the cotton belt and was
familiar with the plant from a na
tive’s standpoint, but there were no
south efn men connected with the
department of agricultural science;
that the southern colleges do not
teach agricultural science, and no
southern men ever made applica
tions for positions in that branch of
the service. Mr. Orton said that po
sitions are open for southern men
who would apply for them.”
The investigation of this disease
of cotton is a most important affair,
and that the expert knew his busi
ness, could tell the cause and name
a remedy, was equally valuable.
The point that we wish to touch
here, however, is the fact that it was
necessary for a Vermont man to
come to Georgia and give informa
tion concerning cotton, the chief ag
ricultural product of the state.
This incident illustrates a fact
that has long been known to think
ing men, that our farmers and men the east. The democrats there are

in authority have so long ignored
science in connection with agricul
ture. There should not arise the
necessity of sending out of the state
for any information or service need
ed in the state.
It is certainly remarkable that
southern men have not appreciated
the need of scientific knowledge of
the plants that provide us with the
necessaries of life.
The time is coming rapidly when
old-time methods must stive place to
improvements suggested by scien
tific knowledge, and we must pre
pare for that time by technical edu

The growing unreliability of the
negro labor system so long prevail

that change must be based upon sci

world, and in every department of
service we must have men equal to
the country, and the demands there
of for expert knowledge.
Georgia men should be equal to
the demands of the state for expert
services.
tired of defeat, and the drift is to
ward the adoption of a platform

While the supply of gold continues
to increase as it has been increasing
lately, there can be no serious or
successful demand for free silver.’

Political speculation in Georgia
was enlivened last week by Hon. F.
G. duBignon’s declaration that he
would not be a candidate for gov
ernor of Georgia next year. Close
upon this withdrawal, Hon. DuPont
Guerry announced that he will be a
candidate for governor. Already it
was agreed that Hon. J. Pope
Brown |and Attorney General Ter
rell would announce for the govern
orship in due season. Further talk
brought forward several others as
prospective candidates: Editor J. H.
Estill of Savannah, Congressman W.
G. Brantley and ex-Congressman H.
G. Turner. Others may be brought
forward. Editor Clark Howell will
not be a candidate for governor.

At Cripple Creek, .Colorado, the
Trans-Mississippi Commercial Con
gress was in session several days last
week, A prominent feature of the
proceedings was the discussion and
resolution concerning the arid lands,
about a hundred million acres. "State
and national legislation is urged to
provide for dams and the collection
of water in ponds to facilitate evap
oration and thus increase the rain
fall. An arid land fund of $100,-
000,000 was advocated to be raised
by the sale of government bonds,
the money to be expended in re
claiming arid lands and to be re
turned to the government from the
sale of lands reclaimed.”
One of the most remarkable proofs
of the amazing growth of that vast
region of our country commonly
called the Northwest, with its nu
merous sisterhood of States, and its
population of more than seven mil
lion people, is the fact that it is on
ly a little mere than eighty years
since the first white baby was bom
there. The child was a girl, the
daughter of a regular army officer,
and she is still living. A fascinating
account of her eventful life, the ear
ly years of which were spent among
soldiers and savages, will appear in
an early issue of the Ladies’ Home
Journal.
Populist leaders of Ohio have is

has been issued for a meeting at Co
