VOL. i SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1903. NO. 20 1 BEGINNINGS OAGRICUL- I m Agrioa'Unre D.flntd. I am a farmer by occupation. Having lived on the farm for the past fourteen years. Have work ed and tilled it's soil; I have care fully studied the different kindsof soils as adapted for certain kinds of grains. Thus, this enables me to say something of the begining of Agriculture. First, let ns define the word Ag riculture: Derived from the Lat in worda Ager, a field, and cultor, a cultivator. In a general way the cultivation of the ground for the ground for the raising of vegeta bles, fruits, and planting seeds. It includes, also, gardening, or Hor ticulture; the raising of all kinds of F'ocks. Methods Now the appropriation of the riches of thcvcgetablc world is ac complished in two ways. Accord ingtoourprincipaleffortsto make use of the spontaneous products of wild plants or to multiply them by cultivation. The former, which grfti constitutes the syBtcm of selec- P"? tion, reduce itself to mere taking. posession, and, as it is expected, by the most simple meaus, it can be practiced by all animals. The second whichisapplied to the pro- ductiouofrccources that arc need cd, alone achcivea a conqucot and j dunblc ercptrc J3't..it rcqvarc&j superior capacity, a degree of in telligence and reflection to which no other animal than man has riv en. CultiAation might, therefore, H. t j jlcservc, as uocs me use 01 lire, to Jnark the precise boundary where reason is separatee irom instinct and passes beyound it. During an itial of a long period of duration, mandestituted of thot and without power to act upon naturc,hadto satisfy himself with utilizing the spontaneous pro ducts of plants, while he was in crjV..l Bdainj- to them by his inouM y. Li-e all plant-eating nittm.i'i-iie sub-.;Fted on resources Of a h. i. 'dou& collection. This soit t .if c demanded nothing more than an attentive search and instinct to profit by happy finds. Ixistence was passed in wandcr ig in quest of nutritious plants and gathering their fruits. The Numerous families of monkeys, and even some human tribes, still live in this way. So simple a method of expropri ation is necessarily very restrict ed. Man did not know in the be gining the value of'all productions which abound around him. First ,of all, he had to learn to disting uish the useful plants fromamong those that were not nscf ul. It is not an cary task to pick out in the tiiree or four thousand species of Hrhich the existing flora is com- poird, those most sutaoie ior sat- isfvfnr various nerds especially r when we recouct that most of the uses we make of them instead of being naturally indicated, are sug- gcated by previous discoveries and there is no motive to impel one to aesk in things a utility which is not suspected. Investigation and Progreu. Primitive man was doubtless but in the way ofraaking suchdis- covcrits by posesing necessities and the suggestion of a chance. The terrible famines to which sav ages are exposed, which forces them to cat the most insignificant berries, viz., grasses roots and c vii the leaves of trees, causes them to learn by repeated trials the productions which could best afford them nurtshmcnt. Atten. tion was fixed upon the most ad vantageous and most repulsive of them. Such experimentation, marked by disgusting and peri lous features for many poison ous plants proffer baits to greedy appetites bywhichthcy arc some times caught wa was accomp lished at the instigation of hung gcr, with theassistenccof instinct then more formal or better mind ed than now, comparable to those which guide animals so surely in the choice of their food. Ata lat er date nascent reason discover er d various useful qualities in plants. Fortunately observation and trial followed with success, showed what profit could be de rived f row products long neglect ed. Thc-uses of wood assigned an increasing importance to it, first as a combustible, begining .with the discovery of fire, then as a substance which could be made serviceable in infinite ways. In time men learn to separate, twist spin, and weave bark and fibers, It color them, in various shades, extract oil. wine, and sugar. Caa ual cures reveled themedital pro- ertics ofsimples. Every age an increase in the number of useful products which one could draw from plants.Even now after the many investigations that have been pursued thru thousands of ages, we are far from having made available all the resources which the vegetable world might furnish us, and its fertility holds in re serve for us many treasures of which we are now ignorant. Naturalism. All of the plants that have come into cultivation among us, were first used wild, for their value had to be recognized before the multiplying of them could take shape. As loug as they were nat urally aboundant enough to suffice for the necessities of sparcc pop ulation, no aim would be taken to propagate them. This phase of absolute uncultivation the longest that the human species haye trav eracd, appears to have continued from the orgm of the race to the prcsentgcological period, nothing in fact, in the vestiges that have com e down to u s, rcavels any signs of uncultivated plants or of the modes of cultivation; such are not found till the station at Robenhau seh, the morft recent of the pre- historic ages, Is reached. Asim ilar condition has persisted among many people not savages reduced to the sorry resources of animal searching, like the Hottentot, the Bushman, Fengianandothera but hunters, like a number of A- merican tribes, Indians, Eskimos and even posterial people, like th populations of Asia and Africa who live solely on the products of their flocks. The earth produces nothing more detestable than an ungrate ful'man. Ex. DANVILLE'S TREATMENT OF RIOTERS. Among the several places afflic ted with mob violence this year wasDanville,HL, which has treat ed her rioters in such sharp con trast to the leniency shown the same class of lawbreaker else where that her dicisivc action has licitcd much favorable comment. Rioters were brought to speedy trial and strict justice appears to have been mcctcd out regardless of their standing in the communi- Thc Danville courts have treated the members of the mob who attacked the jail exactly as they ought to be treated, and have not heeded the extenuating pleas that have availed clswhcrcto wavd off punishment. On Tuesday the arguments for new trials in the cases of the c levcn men and one woman found guilty of attempting o enter the jail with intent to kill certain in mates on July 25 were heard in the circuitcourt and overruled in each instance. The court then sentenced each defendant, giving the adults indeterminate terms in Chester penitentiary and the minor, a boy, a sentence in the Pontiac reformatoy. The court then made a long tolk to the de fendants, giving them advice con' ccrning their future conduct. He said in part: You may thank God you are not here on a charge of murder instead of an attempt murder, nnd that lam not sentencng you to be hanged instead of to the penitentiary, bor as sure as you live, had you gained en' trance to the jail that night,you would have committed murder, not once, but probably a dozen times. If the right man had not been sheriff you would have succeeded. It is evident that if such sum mary justice were generally meetcd out to rioters mobs would not feel so free to take the law in to their own hands.

From iho Qlobu Dumocrnt, London Sept. 12. It has been the boast of England in the past that it never drew the color line whites and blacks being treated alike in hotels, theaters, restau rants, saloons and other public places. Nevertheless, the color line ia beiug draWn, and Negroc are beginning to be discriminat cd against in public places, as in the United States. The courts have just upheld such discrlmin ation as legal. A saloon keeper in the West End refused to serve two Negroes drinks at the bar. Neirroes brought suit. The ma gistrate decided that publicans are bound to serve travelers with food s nd drink, there is no law compel them to serve anybody else, white or black. The magis trate held the publican was in his rights in refusing tb sell to Ne groes, and dismissed the case The suit attracted wide atten tion and much comment on th fact that the masses in England generally are beginning to loose HIGHER EDUCATION MINISTRY. FOR From the GlobeDemocrt. CmcAGO, III., Scpt.l2-Bishop Alexander Walters, in his annual address to the Missouri confer ence of the African Methodist E piscopal church, now in session at the A. M. E. Zion church, Thir- cight and Dearborn streets, discussed the race problem and urged the neccessity of higher ed ucational rcquirmcnt for candi dates for the ministry. He said ''The race problem is the most mportant issue now before the American people. Some very good men have urged the plan of expa' triation, but this suggestion is im practicable, becnuse of our im mense numbers, even if there were no other objections. An ther proposition seggration. This is about as impracticable as the expatriation. As to the amalga' mation project, I will not stop to consider it, because notwithstan ding all that is said against it, it is going on all the time. Lynch ing has been tried, but it has on ly made it the more difficult. Of late, the mob has received some sturdy blows thru the manly let ter of President Roosevelt to Gov. Durbin.

He was elected in an attempt to "smash the machine" in Danville According to the "independent theory" of the politics the "inde pendent" mayor ougt to have done better when the test of his official fidelity came than the or ganization sheriff. According to this theory the sheriff ought to 1. 1 1 J 1 I 1 il 1. nave sioppeu to tmuK wneiuer im not his party organization would loose votes by his quelling the mob, while the mayor ought to have thought ot nothing nut his duty under the laws. However, the facts were just the other way. The mayor saw "prominent and respectable citi zens" in the mob, and went and sat down. The sheriff saw noth ing but riotern and stood up and out them down. Queer, isn't it, how these cock sure political theories go off at the wrong end in real life? SCHOOL TIME. By Inez C.

Army toam to Win tho Drydon cup. Sept. 11 The infantry rific team of the United States army came to the fore very decidedly late this afternoon and captured the Dryden trophy by scoring a total of 995 out of a possible 1,200. The competition was closer and more spirited than anyother team contest held during the meet. At the conclusion of the firing at the 200 yard stage New Jersey was in the lead. When "cease firing" was sounded at the 500-yard stage, however, the District of Columbia had moved to the front and led the race by 12 points But at the final stag, the 1,000-yard line, the infantry team of the U nited States army closed the gap, and finished points ahead of the next nearest competitor, the Dis trict of Columbia. The best indi vidual shooting among the mem bers ot the winning team v done by Quartermaster Sergeant Hawkins, who is a colored man. The warning team received a cash prize of S150 and will hold the beautiful trophy for one. year. The District of Columbia receiv ed second prize $100. i -V4 $1

Mpi'fr Culture in Our Public i' School Education That the race hat; acquired Wonderful literary attainment from our public school system is a fact worthy of our most care ful congratulations; and that the results of such attainments is far reaching in its bsaring upon our developomcnt and olc vation may beipsmncd as a truth. But to believe that all de pends upon this alone would result in an irreparable error. Hence, we must, and do, .look for something more than the mere intellectual training of our childron in the schools. Alveaby, in many instances, has the cultivation of the in tellect been to the utter neglect of the moral element of the youthful character. Mere intelligence without the sturcty, manly or womanly character to sustain it, is an impedement to any individual. Therefore, in and thruout our educa tional system more thought, time, and attention must be given to proper ch ractcr developcmeut.. Our boys and-girls must leave school fatter prepared for meeting lifes difficulties than when they entered. They must have truer and better con ceptions of the real every day conditions to be met by them. No one can more effectively give these instructions than the public school "readier. There must be less of veneer in our school work. Gf what service to humanity is it to have child ren, alter navmg devoted years under your tutorage, to go forth as luminous literary lights but absolutely bankrupt in character? We confess that knowledge s power but to be the proper kind of power it must be properly conserved; and there is but one way whereby knowledge maybe conserved that is to hold it in by properly developed character. For, as the char acter of an individual, so will the power derived from knowl edge acquired, be used. The teacher -jvlio posses himself of the happy faculty of moulding pdble character, is indeed, a benefactor to the entire race. Let many of such manifest themselves. ANNOUNCEMENT.

It has been proved beyond doubt that in one place at least f lie Mis souri river bottom land posseses a soil inexhaustable sixty-oneiee deep. Sometime ago a drain ditch 15 feet deep was dug for the purpose of draining overflowed bottom land in the vicinity of Morton. discovery restlted to,the end that the land drained was black soil to the full dnpth. Considerable in tcrcst was aroused over the fact with the result that when a hole was sunk into adjacent land some time subsequently, notice va there taken of the texture of the earth strata. Soil was found atan extreme depth of sixty-one feet though, of corse, it is not agreed that the earth has uniform sou to that depth. Jewell Mayes, thee ditor of the Richmond Missourian says that the fact is eminently true, because of the overflow for mation of the land. BottOW lands in the section indicated areknown to be producing lh finest corn concciveable after twenty-five years consecutive yield. It is in- haustible.

..rV 9 -stiiflr' 5.1 If? t5 Kir Hi I -it I THE MeKINLEY MEMORIAL Monday September 'bcing' hc, anniverary.of William McKinley death, it is a day sacred to the Carnation lcau of America. This society is a permanent af fair, and is intended to pcrpeiu. ate the memory of the recent President. The carnation wafc Mr. McKinley's favorite flower. Hfe was iu 'tbfl habit of wearing it in his buttonhole on public occa sions. The desire of the Carna tion league of America is to pop ularize the enstora of wearing this flower by mm aud women on an niversary of he late PreBident'o death. This memorial to one the beat of America's Presidents is gain ing"vogue among his countrymen and countrywomen Every inhab itant of the United States, male or female, of school age or upward i3 eligible to membership in the league.. No fee is attached to the memberahip- The movement has no commercial side of any sort. No fund is being sought by tne society. The object is to promote national patriotism, and at the same time preserve the memory of one of the purest, mot patri otic and amiable of Americans. Mr. McKinley had a long and distinguished career, lie filled many public offices, and all were won bv merit. His life was an aspiration to every youug Ameri can, man or woman. The hundreds of thousands of carnations which will be seen on the persons of Americans of each sex tomorrow thruout the coun try will attest the popularity of this Christian hero and model cit izen. Many things have taken place in the United states in the two years which have paesd since the death of the twenty-fifth President. Exciting events chase eachother so rapidly across the world's atage these days that the eveut3 and the men figuring in them commonly drop out of the public recollection quickly. Mr. McKinley, however, fixed his name permanently to a great era. The expansion of the United States, beyond thi. iens, which end ed the period of the country's ex cluQtvuess, was an envent which hasafiected the politics aud the history of the nations in a pro found degree. The man who play ed the leading role in that displace ment of the worlcs center of poli lcal gravity was "SVm. McKinley. "Never loose your head," aid the Barrel.
