Sonic of the did not no sider ft within the province of the caucus to reverse any of the of the last national convention but apart from their contention it was determined that then was no at this time for so doing.

The and Means Committee is still giving hearings to the rep of the beet sugar and tobacco industries in this country and In Cuba. The beet sugar lobby is growing desperate and is contemplating a coalition, of forces with the democrats in an effort to reduce the protection on refined sugar. The beet sugar men are. course, inspired by to the Trust but frankly admit that they would be in a bet position to develop their In- industry if the Trust were destroy- ed even if reciprocal privileges were granted to Cuba. The arc naturally and opposed to a duty which puts Immense profits Into the hands Of the trust at the expense of the vast body of consumers. Representative can member from Massachusetts, tells me that he will vote for re as he does not consider that a moderate concession would injure American interests he believes the United States owes it to Cuba to at least start heron the road to prosperity. Apropos of the beet sugar there is a story going the rounds in inner circles of a very stormy Cabinet meeting at which the President alleged to have told his Secretary of Agriculture that he was of having his expressions on the subject his Mr. son, I am told, expressed regret at having given utterance to his views aid assured Mr. Roosevelt that nothing more would be heard from him on the He has persistently refused to appear be- fore the Ways and Means Commit- tee, although it is well known that he is adverse to any reciprocal treaty Which will lower the duty on sugar. Of course above incident has given rise to renewed go-sip in regard to net changes but no change in the Agricultural portfolio is plated at this time.

IN CALDWELL The Lenoir News of last had this striking editorial few days since, a short tramp in the country, we noticed a field of corn still standing gathered, going to waste while com is selling at a bushel. We noted at another place a good mowing machine, standing out in the weather, where it bad evidently left at the end of the season. Cattle are still, many instances, left out in the fields unprotected from and fed a little hay and bran on the ground to be tunneled in the mini. If house at all it is done in such an indifferent and careless manner that they arc given very little protection and twice the amount of feed is ed to keep them in condition that would lie needed were they kept warm and dry. Hay all kinds of forage is left standing in the field until needed for use. By that lime more or less of it has wasted by exposure to the weather the depredation of the poorly fed cattle above referred to. These and many other evidences of carelessness, or ignorance seen any day in a short trip through this country, we must get out of these old ruts, take care of work with judgment, making an acre by good and tillage pro- duce what two or four now pro- duce by cultivation. With proper management and thrift, we believe farming offers better inducements in this country at this nine than ever before, but many old ideas and must be abandoned. It seems to us is a fine opening some one to make good money in this community, raising pips poultry. Pigs arc demand at high prices, and chick- ens and eggs have commanded higher prices during the last twelve mouths than ever before. Spring chickens will bring to cents a pound by April or Truly, this is a bad showing, and the worst of it is that our contemporary that such as it has pictured be -en any day in a short through its country. The wonder is that people so care- less so wasteful can manage to make buckle and tongue meet that they contrive to keep body and soul together.
