MAKES A PLEA i
For the Farmers and the Rural Population
of the Country.
BETTER ROADS NEEDED
Claims That the TaritV Laws Are
, Made ami Shaped to ltenelit the j
Manufacturers, llut None of Them {
Are Intended to HenotH the Curmers
of the Country.
Representative Candler of Missis-I
Blppi made a plea recently in a speech
for the farmer on the lloor of the i
House. He sulci:
The smallest soul In all the world
is posessed by the man who Is so
full of egotism that he is wrapped
up in himself, while the man with
the gr atost soul in all the universe
is the one who continually, like the
man of tSallilee, seeks to help and
bless somebody else and contribute to
the prosperity and happiness of others.
One of my sins when 1 was removed
lrotn this great committee?
and 1 consider it one of the greatest
committees of this House ? was that
1 was in fav*or of increased appropriations
for agricultural schools. I
want to educate the youth of this
great Republic. A man could not
brin.g greater blessings than to devise
means to cultivate the minds of
the youth of this Nation; open the
door to them to knowledge and let
them learn, not only about the Nation
and the country, but bit 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
n great country we possess and create
patriotism in their hearts, and it
will make them better citizens and
. r..i i... f.,,.,
more useiui e.v i l-<iowh v? i un} uiv.'
that they have been permitted to acquire
knowledge which may be furnished
to them in the schools of the
country.
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, the yodth of the country
the benefits and joys which ooni"
from the acquisition of knowledge,
and the good mothers, 1 am sure
will impress the importance of the
eternal destiny of the soul. And because
1 believe in that doctrine and
ftoecause 1 believed in these principles
H did stand for an increased appropriation
for the agricultural schools
of the country, because I wanted to
help the cause and benefit the youth,
and I stand here today voicing th?
name sentiment. I have heard that
it was the policy which 1 advocated
that also contributed to take me
from the Agricultural Committee.
1 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
view, the development of the agricultural
interests of the country, bemse
I believe in developing those
; hoip every trade and calling and
ofession in this broad land. I
Heeled year after year the ap>priations
which were made for
the other departments of the Government.
1 contrasted these appro
priations with the appropriations for
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 orinanent of warfare than it
was <ioin,? for the peaceful pursuits
in this country, in helping the agricultural
interests of the land and
that may have been another reason
why I was in disfavor. Mr. Chairman,
it is shown in the statistics
which I submitted on a former accasion
that the average annual appropriation
for the War and Navy departments
for ten years was, in round
numbers, $245,000,000, which is
more than has been appropriated fo?*
the whole Agricultural Department
Tor the sixty-nine years of its existence.
Just think of that. Ts it just to
thus treat a great department, representing
the marvelous agricultural
interests of this country? The
farmers of America produced this
year crops valued at $8,7 00,0.00,000,
and in the pending Dill only $13,
417,11',0 is appropriated to foster and
develop all this great industry. Hecause
1 believe in larger appropriations
and as a consequence, greater
development I was arbitrarily stood
aside, and this year the dlstlngushe 1
genucman irom Ajaoama (Mr. 11rlin),
than whom the farmers never
had a better friend or more zealous
advoeate, suffered the same fate. It
Is well known here that in committee
and on the floor the gentleman from
Alabama was always alert, active and
energetic in look in? after every in
terost of the farmers of this country;
tout faithful service to them seemto
bo a crime to he punished her(
. rather than a virtue to be recognized
If Mr. Ileflin feels like I do and !
am sure lie does?he is willing, i
need be, to suffer for a righteoiu
cause, for right is mighty and wi'
yet prevail. When the proper tinv
is reached in the consideration o
:his bill, the distinguished gentleman I
from Mississippi (Mr. Dickson), who
is a farmer himself and has suffered
irom 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
Union, and I hope his amendment
when offered will prevail.
Mr. Chairman, I have introduced "
a bill to prevent dealing in cotton
futures, farm products, and, in fact,
all kinds of future dealing. Tli*?
peojile of tins country, and especially
the farmers, desire legislation on
this subject to put an end to this
unwholesome and pernicious speculation.
if my hill can not pass, I
will cheerfully and gladly support the e,
Henry hill, or any other hill which
s.
will accomplish the end desired. I
appeal to the membership of the al
House to get together and give the it
people relief from this great evil.
Mr. Chairman, one of the greatest .
blessings and benefits ever bestowed
upon Llie rural sections of our country
is rural delivery of the mails.
Now, add to this good roads and the
whole country will call you blessed.
As was well said by Senator Hank- }
head in a speech in the Senate when Sl
speaking on this subject:
"Another reason for national aid
is to be found in the fact that nearly ')(
all of the great appropriations made e
by Congress are for projects that do ^
not benefit the rural districts. The
shipping interests have had the rivers
and harbors improved to expediaf
their business; the cities have been vv
supplied, at a cost of $300,000,000, n<
with postofliees ami custom houses: NN
the railroads have received large ap- ,1(
propriations and have made use of _
the credit of the Government; mil- s
lions collected from the people hav?
been loaned to the banks withou* s
interest, and iron master have do s(
pended upon the Government to con- '
struct great locks and dams for fac- al
ilitating the assombling of materials
at cheap rates for making iron. The (
tariff laws have been shaped to ben- sl
ofit tlie manufacturers, but none of <l'
them are intended to benelit the
great American farmer.'
is
May 1 not appeal to your patriotism
to consider this groat question,
and if you really want to do something
to benefit all the people every- ^
where, spend some of the millions al
yearly appropriated in aiding the
construction of good roads. Thrt *'
average cost of hauling over the pub- ?'
lie roads is 25 cents per ton per mile, ?'
and the average haul is eight miles. la
Good roads will reduce the cost to Sl
10 cents per mile, which would re
dure the cost of transportation to (
the farmers more than half and save c<
them every year enormous sums of
money in the aggregate.

Goth Houses Notice Senator Tillman's a
Extreme Illness.
P
The News and Courier says the apparently
serious illness of Senator ''
Tillman has been the subject of ^
greatest interest here, in Legislative
circles. The bulletins have been t(
closely watched and all news from H
the bedside has been eagerly sought ,,
for. There has not been much sat- e
Infaotion In the news and there has p
been deep regret over the continued
discouraging tidings. During the ^
evening this concurent resolution was n
unanimously agreed upon: S(
"Be it resolved by the Senate, the
House concurring, That the General
Assembly learns with deep regret of ](
the serious illness of Senator B. R. p
Tillman and earnestly hopes that he ^
will be speedily restored to health S(
and vigor. p
"Be it further resolved, That a t]
copy of this resolution be transm'tted

For Committing Gross Immorality v

With Some Roys.
At Savannah, Ga., F. M. White, |
convicted in the superior court tf j
gross Immorality, fainted before the r
judge's stand when he was sente'-ced l
to life imprisonment. It required l
some time for the deputies to re- t
store the prisoner to conscious n ss. \
This case has attracted considerable t
attention in Savannah. When it was 1
called for trial Judge Charlton or- (
dered the court room cleared of c'l
spectators and only those who had i
business within the court room were t
permitted to remain. White entered i
a general denial to the charge of the <

THE NEXT LIFE
Senator W. E. Chandler Thinks After
Death We Will Live
IN ONE OF THE STARS
o Says We l>o Not Live as Diseite
(nulled Spirits, Hut (>v? to a Star,
Where We Inhabit New Physical
Bodies, Which Embrace Our Present
Souls.
William E. Chailiir, for mer *J'It1
States sen it or from Now Humplire,
former seoreui v of the navy
iid for years one of rhe ercat polical
leaders of the country, has
jme into the limelight again as the
ilvocate of a new religious doctrine.
!e believes that after we lay dowi
ur physical being upon this earth
nr souls go to some of the stars,
lore to he reinvested with physical
odies and to have the same con iousness
of existence as here, only
> greater perfection.
Mr. Chandler talked with a renter
at his summer home at Watloo,
N. 11., before his departure for
'ashington, where he will spend the
inter.
"My faith in a future life," lie
iid, "is strong and ever present
itli nie. It is only faith. We have
i knowlege, and it is intended that
e shall have no knowledge. We do
it live as disembodied spirits; we
) to one of the stars, where we
tall inhabit new physical bodies,
liich embrace our present souls. We
mil see and hear and have the
uses, taste, smell and touch, and
uhaps other new and more joyous
uses."
For many years Mr. Chardler has

ibject bv the greatest thinkers of
1 countries and he has thought the
atter out on lines of his own. Now

to him a well founded theory.
"We must start with the vast,
artling, overwhelming thought that
lore exists a power that can create
1 immortal soul, capable of living
irever," he said. "Once created,
10 soul must go on, and on, throughnt
the eons of eternity. The great
liject of existence could not be satifled
by annihilation. it can b<?
itisfled only by immortality.
"Admitting the future existence
f the soul whot more logical thought
111 we have than that our souls
o to some other part of the unierse
to take their abode there. They
0 not exist 011 this earth. What
111 be the object of such an existnce?
There is 110 communication
otween the souls of the departed
nd the souls of those who remain,
uch a spirit would be a very unhapy
one.
"I do not believe in spiritualism
1 the common meaning of the word,
he idea of spirit rappings is entirely
11 reasonable.
"If wo go to some of the stars-3
Sirius, to the North star or to the
u 11?we shall be reinvested with
hysical bodies. The joys of existnee
attendant upon the use of the
ve senses must not bo sacrificed,
nd what more reasonable thought
lian that we shall be invested with
ew senses as enjoyable, if not more
0, than the five we have in this exitence?
"\f V i flOfl io t }\ n t tvlinn All r annlo
?ave this earth we do not scatter to
ifferent planets. This would he a
?rrible seperation. Suppose we are
ont to Mars and our dearest frtends
ave prone to Sirius. The very
bought is distressing.
"Surely, in the Great Beyond, wn
hall rejoin our friends. We shall
ot scatter. We shall know each
tlier there as we have known each
tlier here and shall have friends
mong each other there as we hav*3
riends among those we meet in thi?
ife and among the countless millions
,ho have proceeded us to the necroolis
of the past ages.
"I love to thing that in the nexl
rorld life will bo a little easier than
t is here. After the cares of thl<
ife are over we shall need rest. Tlu
nost prevalent hope is that of f\
ittle rest before entering upon new
abors. The now life will be a lit.
le easier?a little rest is what w<
ong for. But when we reason upor
he subject we must believe that tlx
ife to come is one of activity, a 1 if<
)f work, a life of service."
Senator Chandler does not believi
n the transmigration of the soul o?
his planet. Nor does he believe tha
:he soul has had any previous exist
rnce. In his philosophy this is tin
l\b or! n n I n
"Else, why," ho asks, "are all th
years necessary to be passed in th
bodies of infants? Why are we no
created in tho full stature of a man
Why all the years of preparation?

THE NEW EE UTILIZER.
A discovery of far-reaching Importance
to the farmers of the South la
the new fertilizer which has been
perfected on one of the Islands near
Charleston, S. C. It has long been
known that lime Is an essential food
for plants of all kinds and that they
cannot live when It has been exhausted
from the soil. It has also been
known that old worn-out lands a?'e
extremely deficient In lime, and that
sour, badly-drained lands have their
lime is a for mthat Is not usable by
growing crops.
Farmers' Bulletin No. 12 4, U. 8.
Dept. of Agriculture, says: "All
the applications of lime Increased the
yields The best yields wern
obtained with the lime In the form
of carbonate, the finely ground oysrer
shells standing first Lime
with fertilizer was more profitable
than depending upon fertilizer
alone."
This 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 month!
ahead of ammonlated goods. It's
sweetening effects on sour lands is
almost magical. Charleston freight
rates apply on this new fertilizer.
The factory Is located on Young's
Tsland, S. C., but all letters should
be addressed to E. L. Commins, Sales -f
Agent. Meggetts, S. C. Free descriptive
circulars will be sent *o any one
on request.

Corruption Deep Hooted and Widespread
in Japan.
Investigations are to be made into
alleged army scandals in Japan,
according to news received oy the
steamer Empress of Chin. The
Hochl Shimbun charges gross Irregularities.
and two other TolJo papers
predict scandals.
The Nichi Nichi says army estimates
contain certain irregularities,
"that corruption is deep rooted and
widespread," and that collusion between
army officers and contractors
is an open secret. The Hochi Shimbun
says the army is secretly expanding,
and that, whereas only
nineteen divisions were authorized,
there are twenty. The Ilochi says y
that no more than a third of the
amount provided for clothing is expended
for that purpose. *
