SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year*-. — $150 Six Months .90 Three Months .60 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, JANUARY V,. 1929. After reading the petition to set aside Tuesday’s special election, we have come to the, conclusion that those in charge violated practically every statute except the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act. Don’t Laugh at Progress! A prediction has been made that in the near future there will be air boats as big or bigger than the largest modern steamers. You may believe this or not—but do not be one of the laughers. Recently the twenty-fifth anniver- aary of flying was observed. When the Wright Brothers first invented the airplane, pretty nearly everybody laughed. Think of the airplane of to day. To go back far into the past, a great many people laughed at Colum bus. At Gallileo. At Fulton. When the first steamship plied the waters of the Hudson, persons lined along the shore roared their contempt for the funny little boat Fulton had launched. From time immemorial, indeed, the pioneers in science and discovery have been hampered in their work by the laughers. Those who would not be lieve. Even the phoriograph and the motion picture machine were at first regarded with derison and disbelief. At most these wonderful boons to humanity were considered as harmless toys for children. The world is learning its lesson. Today new inventions are greeted With respect. The day of the laugher, ‘-the haw-hawer, is drawing to a close. The avenues for discovery, the road to progress, are more o{H*n than ever before. Be one of those to welcome the new thing when it comes along—do not ahame yourself by laughing at it. When the impossible is predicted, rememlxr that m the course of modern progress many a thing thought impos sible has become both possible and practicable. dressing of soda \<ts I QUICKLY ON COTTON-CORN There are six reasons why the Southern farmer should side-dress hla WOtton and corn. These are: 1. The average fertilizer applied Wider these crops does not (oiitaln enough nitrogen to balance the phos phoric acid and potash. 2. Under fertilization means a Sickly crop. This can be remedied by applying quickly available nitrogen after the crop starts on its growth 2. Owing to unfavorable weather lltions and poor stands many fftrmers are finding it necessary to r fn-plant their cotton. In such cases $t becomes more necessary than ever to mah the crop to maturity with a aide-dressing of quickly available jytrogen 4. Nitrogen has a greater influence an yields than any other fertilizer alement. Large yields mean large profits. 5. It will pay the small farmer the aome rate of profit It pays the man With 10,000 acres under cultivation. t. During the last ten years it has Mionstrated its worth beyond all BMtlon of doubt in every section of id Cotton Belt. Nitrate of soda is the standard E-acting nitrogen needed in slde- ig applications. A crop must readily available plant food at stage as It cannot wait to con- tt* nitrogen into nitrate. Nitrate kjp* koda ordinarily returns 200 or 300 cent on the money invested in it. and Personal News of Blackville His Lookouts By Albert T.
