MAKES A PLEA j
For the Farmers and the Rural Population
of the Country.
BETTER ROADS NEEDED
Claims Tliut tlie Tin iJT Laws Are
Made and Shaped to Benefit the
Manufacturers, But None of Them
Are Intended to Benefit the Fanners
of the Country.
Representative Candler of Mississippi
made a plea recently in a speech
for the farmer on the lloor of the
House. He said:
The smallest soul in all the world
Id ...............I V... *1... ....... ... 1.|u o,.
full of egotism that he is wrapped
up in himself, while the man with
the gV .itest soul in all the universe
is the one who continually, like the
man of Gallilee, se<ks to help and
bless somebody else and contribute to
the prosperity and happiness of others.
One of uiy sins when 1 was removed
from tins great committee?
and 1 consider it one of the greatest
committees of this House?was that
I was in favor of increased appropriations
for agricultural schools. I
want to educate the youth of this
grout Republic. A man could not
bring greater blessings than to devise
means to cultivate the minds of
the youth of this Nation; open the
door to them to knowledge and le?
them learn, not only about the Nation
and the country, hut let them
study the mysteries of the past and
the problems of the present as they
unfold, as we travel in the pathway
of the future. Let them realize what
a great country we possess and create
patriotism in their hearts, and It
will make them better citizens and
more useful by reason of the fact
that they have been permitted to acquire
knowledge which may be fur
nlshed to lu the schools of the
count ry.
1 believe that there is nothing
more important than the cultivation
of the mind except the salvation of
the eternal soul. As so I believe
that we should prepare a way to
cultivate the mind and teach, as best
we can. i nu youtli or tlie country
the benefits and joys which come
from the acquisition of knowledge,
and the good mothers. I am sure
will impress the importance of the
-eternal destiny of the soul. And because
I believ.e in that doctrine and
tbecause I believed in these principles
I did stand for an increased appropriation
for the agricultural schools
of the country, because 1 wanted to
helfl the cause and benefit the youth,
and I stand here today voicing' th?
same sentiment. I have heard that
It was the policy which 1 advocated
that also contributed to take me
from the Agricultural Committee.
I want to tell you what my policy
was. My policy on that committee
was to develqp and build up all the
county. Especially did I have in
ew, the development of the agriItural
interests of the country, beise
1 believe in developing thoso
help every trade and calling and 1
ifession in this Irroad land. I
jllected year after year the ap
roprlations which were made for
the otbe?* departments of the Government.
1 conlrusted these appro 1
pri&iions with the appropriations for 1
the Department of Agriculture, and
I showed that the Government was '
doing many, many times as much for
brass buttons and for show and '
for ormanent of warfare than it
waa doin.3 for the peaceful pursuits '
In this country, in helping the agri- ;
cultural interests of the land and
that may have been another reason {
mku f ....... 1 ? -l!-f " - '
n ii/ i <1 no iii uiaitivur. i\i r. unairman.
it is shown in the statistics '
which I submitted on a former accasion
that the average annual appro- *
priation for tlie War and Navy departments
tor ten years was, in round
numbers, $245,000,000, which is
more than has been appropriated for |
the whole Agricultural Department
[or the sixty-nine years of its existence.
J list think of that. Is it just to
thus treat a great department, representing
the marvelous agricultur- ?
al interests of this country? The 1
farmers of America produced this 1
year crops valued at $8,700,000,000. s
and in the pending Dill only $12. !
417,120 is appropriated to foster and '
develop all this great Industry. liecause
I believe in larger appropria f
tlons and as a consequence, greater d
development I was arbitrarily stoo l s
aside, and tliis year the distingushe 1 '
gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Hef- 1
lin), than whom the farmers never 1
had a better friend or more zealous
advocate, suffered the same fate. It 1
Is well known here that In committee s
and on the floor the gentleman front
Alabama was always alert, active and
energetic In looking after every interest
of the farmers of this country;
"but faithful service to theni seems t
TO be a crime to be punished here ?
rather than a virtue to b<> recognized. ji
If Mr. Heflin feels like I do?and I r
ani sure he does?ho is willing, if
need be, to suffer for a righteous a
cause, for right Is mighty and wl'l f
yet prevail. When the proper time 1
is reached lu tho consideration of P
this bill, the distinguished gentleman
from Mississippi (Mr. Dickson), who
is a farmer himself and has suffered
from the boll weevil, and therefore
has knowledge of present conditions,
will move to increase the appropriation
for the study and demonstration
of the best methods of meeting the
ravages of the boll weevil from
$215,000 to $500,000. This is asked
for by the farmers of Mississippi in
a unanimous resolution passed by
the Farmers' Cooperative and Educational
I'uiou, an.l I hope his amend
inent when offered will prevail.
Mr. Chairman, I have introduced
a bill to prevent dealing in cotton i
futures, farm products, and, in fact,
all kinds of future dealing. Tie|
people of this country, and especially
the farmers, desire legislation on
this subject to put an eud to this
unwholesome and pernicious speculation.
If my bill can not pass, t
will cheerfully and gladly support the
; Henry bill, or anv other hill whi.-h
will accomplish the end desired. 1
appeal to the membership of the
Mouse to .get together and give the
people relief from this great evil.
Mr. Chairman, one of the greatest
| dessings and benefits ever b.'Stowed1
I apon the rural sections of our country
is rural delivery of the mails.
Sow, add to this good roads and the
whole country will call you blessed.
As was well said by Senator Bankhead
in a speech in the Senate when
speaking on this subject:
"Another reason for national aid
is to be found in the fact that nearly
all of the great appropriations made
by Congress arc for projects that do
not benefit the rural districts. The
shipping interests have had the rivers
and harbors improved to expediaf
heir business; the cities have been
supplied, at a cost of $300,000,000,
with postoffices and custom houses:
the railroads have received large appropriations
and have made use of
the credit of the Government; millions
collected from the people hav?
been loaned to the banks withou*
interest, and iron master have tie
landed upon the Government to construct
great locks and dams for facilitating
the assembling of materials
at cheap rates for making Iron. The
tariff laws have been shaped to ben
efit the manufacturers, but none of
them are intended to benefit the
great American farmer.'
May I not appeal to your patriotism
to consider this great question,
and if you really want to do something
to benefit all the people everywhere,
spend some of the millions
yearly appropriated in aiding the
construction of good roads. Th"?
average cost of hauling over the public
roads is 25 cents per ton per mile,
and the average haul is eight miles.
Good roads will reduce the cost to
10 cents per mile, which would re
duce the cost of transportation to
the farmers more than half and save
them every year enormous sums of
money In the aggregate.

THE NEXT LIFE
Ex-Senator W. E. Chandler 1'links Aftei
Death We Will Live
IN ONE OF THE STARS
lie Says We l>n Not Live a.- DiseniIxxlied
Spirits, Itut to a star.
Where We Inhabit .New Physical
Btxlicx, Which Embrace Our I'reseni
Souls.
William E. Chanliir, forme* U' lied
States senator fru.n New Hampshire,
former se:ret.i v of the navy
and for years one of ike erent political
leaders of the country, has
come into the limelight again as the
auvocate of a new religious doctrine.
He believes that after we lay down
our physical being upon this earth
our souls go to some of the stars,
there to be reinvested with physical
bodies and to have the same consciousness
of existence as here, only
to greater perfection.
Mr. Chandler talked with a reporter
at his summer home at Waterloo,
N. 11., before his departure for
Washington, where lie will spend the
winter.
"My faith in a future life," lie
said, "is strong and ever present
with me. It is only faith. We have
110 knowlege, and it is intended that
we shall have no knowledge. We do
not live as disembodied spirits; we
go to one of the stars, where we
sli?ll inhabit new physical bodies,
which embrace our present souls. Wo
shall see and hear and have the
senses, taste, smell and touch, and ,
perhaps other new and more joyous
senses."
For many years Mr. Chardler has
read all the works obtainable on the
subject by the .greatest thinkers of
all countries and he has thought the
matter out on lines of his own. Now 1
lie makes public declaration of what
is to him a well founded theory.
"We must start with the vast,
startling, overwhelming thought that |
there exists a power that can create
an immortal soul, capable of living
forever," he said. "Once created,
the soul must go 011, and on, throughout
the eons of eternity. The great
object of existence could not be satisfied
by annihilation. It can Ik
satisfied only by immortality. I
"Admitting the future existence 1
of the soul whot more logical thought
can we have than that our souls <
go to some other part of the unl- 1
verse to take their abode there. They 1
do not exist 011 this earth. What 1
can he the object of such an exist- j
ence? There is 110 communication 1
between the souls of the departed 1
and the souls of those who remain.
Such a spirit would be a very unhappy
one.
"1 do not believe in spiritualism
in the common meaning of the word.
The idea of spirit rappings is entirely
unreasonable.
"If we go to some of the stars?
to Sirius, to the North star or to the ?
sun we shall be reinvested with c
physical bodies. The joys of exist- j
ence attendant upon the use of the (
five senses must not be sacrificed. s
And what more reasonable thought j
than that we shall be invested with a
new senses ns enjoyable, if not more s
so, than the five we have in this ex- j
istence? j
"My idea is that when our souls j,
leave this earth we do not scatter to .,
different planets. Tills would lie 1 ,,
terrible seperation. Suppose we are
sent to Mars and our dearest friends n
nave prone to Sirius. The very v
thought is distressing. v
"Surely, in the Oro.lt Beyond, w? j,
Biall rejoin our friends. We shall .
not scatter. We shall know each ;l
it her there as we have known each
:>tlier here and shall have friends
imong each other there as we have
Trlends among those we meet in this
ife and among the countless millions s
ivho have proceeded us to the necropolis
of the past ages.
"I love to thing that lu the next
vorld life will bo a little easier than r.
t is here. After the cares of thi? '.v
ife are over we shall need rest. The w
nost prevalent hope is that of a si
ittle rest before entering upon new b
abors. The new life will be a IB- T
lo easier?a little rest is what w si
ong for. But when we reason upon e
he subject we must believe that the ts
ife to come is one of activity, a life T
>f work, a life of service." n
Senator Chandler does not believe t<
n the transmigration of the soul on tl
his planet. Nor does he believe that a
he soul has had any previous exist- n
moo. In his philosophy this is the 1>
> ginning.
"Else, why," he asks, "are all the
rears necessary to be passed in the
lodies of infants? Why are we not f(
rented in the full stature of a man? p
A'hy all the years of preparation?" q

Supreme Court Grants New Trial n
Umpire's Helialf.
When an umpire slays an ohstr^p- t
erous pitcher with a baseball bat,
odes it constitute murder? Haseball
players take notice! It does not.
Such is the decision of the Georgia
Supreme. Court in the case of Henry 1
Adams against the state.
Adams was an umpire of a game
of ball played in the vicinity of
Thomasville, Ga. There was a dispute
over strikes and balls. The
pitcher, Curtis Cason, got too free C
with his tongue and the ur.nlre
promptly laid him over the skull with
a ball bat. All this occurred on
April 39 of last year.
The case came to trial an 1 M?e jury
found Adams guilty of murder 1
with a recommendation to th 4 mercy
af the court. Ho w-as sent^nc-vi to
die Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
A new trial was applied for,
which was denied.
On appeal to the supreme court . 'he

the ground that the court below
failed to charge the jury on ti?e

[ THE NEW I'KKTILI/lEil.
A discovery of far-reaching Importance
to the farmers of the South Is
ihe new fertilizer which has been
perfected on one of the Islands near
Charleston, S. C. It h<*s long been
known that litue Is an essential food
for plants of all kinds and that they
cannot live when it has been exhsnsted
from the soil. It has also been
known that old worn-out lands are
extremely deficient In lime, and that
sour, badly-drained lands ha\e their
lime is a for mthat is not usable by
growing cropH.
Farmers' Bulletin No. 124, D. 8.
Dept. of Agriculture, says: "All
the applications of lime Increased the
vields The best yields wer?
obtained with the lime in the form
of carbonate, the finely ground oys'er
shells standing first Lime
with fertilizer was more profitable
than dependlug upon fertilizer
alone."
TIiIh new fertilizer which present*
lime in its most usable form is made
by a new process of burning oyster
shells and using a burner that can
supply potash. The result is a high
grade fertilizer costing the consumer
only $7.00 per ton. It reclaims
worn-out lands In a marvelous manner
If applied broadcast two montha
ahead of ammonlated goods. It's
