expounder, John C. Calhoun, would have exactly found a way by which Athey could pry out of the national treasury the money with which to do that in South Carolina. But as we go .along, as the necessities change, as the issues change, somehow or other our views of the constitution )Take on a little different color. "I have been all around the United States, zigzagging about, so that I have covered about 12,000 miles, and everywhere the question is, 'How can the land be made to bear more than it is bearing?' I doubt if ever in the history of the country that question was being agitated with the same degree of intensity and the same determination to make the land bear more than it ever did before than it is to-day, and the reason is that the population is growing in the world and the demand for farm products is growing faster than the supply of those products, and hence it is that it is the farmers that are getting rich and we poor lawyers and professional men have to extend our practice upon the farmers in order to share in it. And it is a healthy sign. "The accumulation, the concentra fion of millions of people in cities is not healthy, and the improvements in country life, the suburban, electrie railway, the telephone, the rural de livery .and the means of reducing the had work, of the farmer's wife by inventions and the cooperative ar rangements are reaching such a point that it becomes I hope, or soon will become, more comfortable to live in the couitry than to live in the city. "The rewards of agricultural suc eess are becoming so much greater for the young men who exert inge nuity, intellect, professional knowl edge and energy upon their work thalt they will be retained in the country. Otherwise, I should feel that the movement was one of degeneracy and not of progress. Every town, of tourse, wants to increase in popula tion, but with bhe cities becming great and the tenement houses nu merous and the hygiene bad and the concentration of the vicious make immoral communities. "It <does not make for the good of 'the State, and what -we must do is by sneh means as possible, such laws as will encourage it, such enterprises as will bring it about, to enlarge instead of reducing our farming work com munity, and when that is done, when the public questions to be solved are determined largely .by those who till the soil, we may kno.w that the con sideration.given will bet that of men engaged in an occupation that does not~ rack their nerves, tha't does not make them gamblers and livers of rapid lives, but commits the fate of the country to men who give .consid erate judgment to the questions sub mnitted to them, and 'have a deep seated loyalty and a 'deep-seated con serv!atism ~that will preserve to us the institutions that our - fathers ~handed down to us inviolate. "And now, my friends, I am go ing to make some more speeches, and I must limit: myself at each so as to *reserve strength~ enough for all. You have a fair l4ere, and I suppose you have a track.. I may use the meta phor, or the simile, of the track to say that I am on the home stretch, a-nd I want, to get into the goal with out any evidence of having broken down. Therefore, I as~k you to ex cuse me from further remarks, but only to speak my cordial and heart felt thanks for your hospitable re .eept;ion in the capital of this 'great State of South Carolina.''

New York World. Rockland, Me., Nov. 4.-The North Dakota is the fastest battleship of the Dreadnought type afloat, as well as one of the two most powerful bat tleships in the world. Her screws standardization tests over the Rock land measured mile course today de veloped a maximum speed of 22.25 knots and an average of 21.833. In attaining this surprising speed, the turbine engines of the North Da kota were forced to the development of more horse-power than has been reached by any other battleship afloat. A maximum of 35,150 horse power was recorded, while 33,875 horse-power was the mean amount. 'The maximum number of revolu tions of her nickel composition pro pellers was 286 a minute. It was found that 263 revolutions in this time were suffiient to maintain the contract speed of 21 knots. The North Dakota, by her perfor mance today, takes precedence as a general first-class battleship over any other afloat. Her sister ship, the Delaware, which was given her trials over the same course on Oet. 23. was in uncertain possession of this honor after her trial performance, but the figures recorded for the North Dako ta are decisive. There is but one Dreadnought afloat who attainments may exceed hers. This is the Nep tune, just launched for the British navy. The Neptune, however, will hav,e to attain to figures much in ex cess of specifications to accomplish this. The Bellerophon has made by 22.1 knots, as compared with the North Dakota's 22.25. The tide was in the North Dako ta's favor and this is -rgot substracted from the best figure. In the recorded mean, or average, however; tidal cor-. rections are made. In the five trials over the mile course the records were 22.25, 21.486, 22.13, 21.505 and 21.133 While the .speed runs were being recorded the North Dakota was also undergoing a two hours' test for con sumption of oil and coal. The Del aware and the North Dakota are the first battleships built for the United States navy to u'se the oil spraying method. The showing is understood to have been very satisfactory. The Fore River Shipbuilding com pany, at Quimcy, Mass., built the North Dakota, which is the first America battleship of the first clss to have turbine engines installed. ~Capt. Edward G. Evans, who nar rowly escaped death when t.he tug Nezinseott was sunk off Cape Ann several months ago was in charge to day. A working crew of 400 men pushed the vessel to her record per formance. Beginning at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning the North Dakota is to be put through the second test, a four 'hours' run at 21 knots. The run will end off Boston Light, where she will anchor and prepare for her t.wenty-four hours' run at twelve knots. Following this she will go pin der another twenty-four hours' test' at nineteen knots. Within six months, it is expected, the North Dakota and the Delaware will take their places in the van of the American navy's line of sea fight ers and will then rank as the great est battleships in commission in the world. PEARY OUTDOBS THE FAUNAL NATURALIST He Is to Get $1.20 a Wgrd For 50, 000 Words Telling of His Po lax Achievement. New York World, 5th. The literary end of discovering the North Pole is more profitable than that of running on errands in Africa for the Smithsonian Institute. Commander Peary is to get twenty per cent. more a word for the Maga zine story of his achievement than ex-President Roosevelt is getting for his hunting story, and as a rule words do not grow as long in the Arctic as they do below the Equator. Mr. Roosevelt 's price is $1, so Commander Peary is to get $1.20 a word for a story of about 50,000 words that is to run serially in Hampton's Magazine for the next eight months. A statement that the contract had been closed with the ex plorer was made yesterday by Benja min B. Hampton, the editor. LESS THAN 10,000,000 BALES. President of National GiAners' Asso ciation Says Most Southern States' Product Will Be Much Less Than in Past Years. Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 5.-J. A. Taylor, president of the National Ginners' associalt.ion, today issued the foll'owing bulletin: 'Complete returns indicate a max imum crop of 9,780,000 bales, not in cluding liners or repacks. ,Iinimum figures 9,486,000. "The heavy falling off is over the belt except in Georgia and the Car olinas, where there is about. as good a crop as last year on a little smaller acreage. "Maximum report by States: Ala bama 969,000; Arkansas 644,000; Florida 60,000; Georgia, 1,870,000; Louisiana 239,000; Mississippi 958, 000; Missouri and Virginia 58,000; North Carolina, 648,000; Oklahoma 587,000; South Carolina 1,185,000; Teinessee 253,000; Texas 2,309,000. Total 9,780,000. ''The ginners say the small yield is largely d.ue to the smallness of holls and low yield of line. As the crop is so near ginned, we will prob ably not make our December esti mate." The cotton crop in 1908 was 11, 581,829 bales, while in 1907 the yield was 13,550,760. The RGev. Irl E. Hicks Almanac Fop 1910.
