said. It seems we also owe a debt to j
the mosquito tribe as well, judging i
from the persistence with which they t

get the blood. \
We devote considerable of our space '
this week to a report of the GoingsSplawn
trial. As the whole county 1
has been very much interested in the
case, we believe a full report of the
trial will be appreciated by our read
ers. New subscribers can date their
paper from this issue as long as the
extra issues we ha\e run ofT lasts.
Roosevelt's friendliness to the
South is not of very recent date. !
While Governor of New York he had
four army appointments, he appointed
three Southern men and one from
New York. In his late company of
rough riders, the sons of fathers who
fought on our side were in a very
large majority.

with Egyptian cotton raising in the
South, reports that it is a failure.
It will thrive only in the extreme
Southern part of Florida. An effort
will be made to cross it with our cotton
to produco a substitute, as Egyptian
cotton is in good demand for
certain fabrics that our cotton will
not make.
Czolgo?z was arraigned Monday for
the murder of McKinley. He plead
guilty but the Judge refufed to accept
it and made the plea not guilty,
two lawyers were appointed to defend
him by the Judge. He was strictlj'
guarded and the crowd kept from the '
court room. He was escorted to and
from the court through an under- '
ground tunnel. His attorneys are
making the plea of insanity.

GOOD FARMING.
Mr. O. J. Ivoon dropped in to see
is a few day* ago and ran his subscription
up to 1908, two years in
td vance. This gives Mr. Koon the
;ake. He is just a couple of months
ihead of any one else. Who will be
she one to pass him? In conversation
with Mr. Koon about crops, we
nduced him to tell us something
ibout his own little farm. Ho said
that while crops were not as good as
they might have been with propt-r
reasons, he was not complaining.
He had made a very good grain crop,
tod a fair corn crop, considering the
i nail amount of fertilizer under
them. He gathered 37 dozen big
bundles of oats from one acre. H??ays
he has one bunch of oats that
las 173 heads that grew from a single
grain. This is something extrajrdinary.
He says he will bring it
;o t he Times office where it will be on
jxhibition. He say* he has a 8?
tcre field of creek bottom corn that
s the finest he has seen in the coun7.
He gathered 520 large bundles
f fodder from this corn, the ears are
veil developed and will make a fine
rield. Ho did not use any guano
tuder the corn at all, the only subitance
in the shape of guano it could
lave got was the guano that had been
lsed in former years under cotton.
Mr. Koon has his land well terraced,
ind does most of his wora himself,
ie says he has had to work very
lard but he Rays there are corn crops
uljoining that he would not give
hose Jty acres for 25 or 80 acres of
hem, and feels that his hard work
las not been in vain. His farm is
*mall but he thoroughly prepares his
and for planting, and then works
t for all he is worth. That is the
dea. The sooner our farmers realize
ihat thorough preparation of their
and, and close and careful attention
to their various crops are necessary
10 a good harvest the better for them.
[)ne's best efforts should be given to
his business at all times no matter
whether that business is farming or
something else. Timo wasted on a
farm is as much a mistake as time
wasted in the mercantile or ether lines.
We must keep everlastingly at it and
utilize every opportunity, if we wish
to succeed in our undertakings.
President Roosevelt enters upon
V?.dutl? under ft?
by obligations. He is responsible to
no man or set of men for his exalted
position. It is well known that he
is a man of firmness, and has distinct
ideas of his own, and has the
backbone to stand to them. He has
annonnopH fliRf, hrt nnrnnana f.n Kn flw.
-? I [.?t,*, I/...
President of the whole people, and
he has a glorious opportunity. He
is a well wisher of the South, and he
will find the South ready to meet
him half way. We have no suggestions
to make as to how he shall conduct
the affairs of Government, but
believe he will meet the responsibilities
of his office, and that he has the
sourage to do what he believes to he
to the best interests of the whole
people, Mark Hanna and his whole
layout to the contrary notwithstanding.
But we shall see.
