C.—North Caroline and Tennessee are rough places for A1 Smith's race for the White House. His chances in the two states are very much "in the bag" as the sporting writcis would say. It's anybody's guess as to who will win the 24 elec toral votes of this part of the once Solid South. John W. Davis beat Coolidge in Tennessee four yeais ago by 158,404 to 130,882, and .in North Carolina had 284,272 to Cal's 191,763 votes. But the dope for 1924 is out of date in this topsy turvy campaign when two new propaganda elements, the liquor issue and religious prejudice, fill the air with smoke and steam. White corn liquor is available for all who want it at one dollar a pint, hut the Volstead act is a vote winner in the South, and Al's wetness hurts him in Dixie though il may help him in New Jersey and New York. Still more enmity is being mustered by country preachers and others because of his Roman Catholic affiliations, though the average Southerner has raiely met a Catholic. Never since Reconstruction days has th edcmociacy been so divided in th enear South. Senator Simmons' desertion of the party standard bear er was a serious blow to Smith, for Simmons, the darling of the water power interests, also has a large fol lowing in the rural sections which he won a generation ago when he went into leadership on an anti-negro plat form. His recent denunciation of Smith got the approval of the Win ston Salem Journal and the Charlotte Observer, leading dailies reflecting the tobacco and textile interests in the two largest towns in North Caro lina. True enough, some of the water power politicians are supporting Al, but that is just one of the many con tradictions in a veiy contradictory campaign. One such suppoiter is O. Max Gardner, democratic candidate for governor and a cotton mill presi dentr and power company booster. He Ls not aiding Smith moie than is nec esesary to preserve his party regular ity, and he will take a couple of days from the campaign October 8 and 9 to speak at the Appalachian Power Conference in Atlanta, ale g with public utility her»!, uiul cth • south tMn politicians. Labor itself is divided in this con fusing campaign. In Tennessee Ma or George L. Berry. Smith's labor attache, was able to get W. C. Bnth right, secretary of the state fede ra tion, as his Tennessee .labor commit teeman. But in North Carolina the federation heads refused to serve, and the Raleigh Union Herald, a privately owned labor paper which has the en dorsement of rUn several anti-Smith articles, 0nG of the bairiei « to labor support of S ™ ith Np'th Carolina is the an ti-labor character of state party of Ex-Governor Cameron Mor rtson, Simmons' successor on the na î ioncl oommitt ee, is an illustration. burned its fingers with Morri «"5 years ^ Ru J. nin * for offi <' e - ZvT f*™* T f hl !, answ . ers to a set of n,e ^ ° f mi * by the unions a^d th j' democratic T ma ** , bls f,rFt / ear P 0VerTWI ' be ?ent troops against one hutted into . at1 ' ^ nke w,th a s P eech a f?amst ,miom?m • COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES In making the biennial report to the state department of education we discover Sheridan county schools have made some interesting gains during the last two years.

Crop Report For September Shows Estimates too High The general crop prospect in Mon tana declined slightly during August with recessions in forecasts of wheat, com, oats, flax, beans and sugar beets accompanied by some improve ment in the outlook for barley, tame hay, potatoes and apples, according to the September crop report issued 1 .V J G. Diamond, agricultural statis tician for the Federal and State de partemnts of agriculture. Damage from such factors as frost, hail, heat, drought and plant diseas es all figured in the month's ments but were very spotted and cept in case of few crops took only a light toll on yields. Taken as a whole crops made a satisfactory pro gress during the month with the grain crops except com retaining an advanced growth. Threshing of win ter wheat was well under way and harvesting of spring grains had started when the month closed. Corn, flax, garden truck suffered com ex beans, potatoes and varying de grees of damage by frosts between the 23rd and 26tl\ of August, when minimum tempeiatures fell to freez and * n central and northern p"rt S tana o( and JC° it month averaged above normal in Jainfall except in west central and southeastern Montana, but the sec ond and third weeks of the month were dry and brought the summer's hottest weather, the month Soils at the end of M ^Bwere generally in good condition for seeding the grains, WHEAT: The wheat crop pros pect shows a small loss for the month when spring wheat declined from a prospect of 61,796,000 bushels on Au ? u rt_ .te 60,256,000 bushels on Sept, f- lbls forecast, however, stfll al lows for an average amount of im provement or deterioration so that mal harvest may be larger or small er than new estimated. Adding to spring wheat the preliminary esti mate °f winter wheat of 12150,000 bushels brings the state total for all wheat on Sept. 1 to 72.406,000 bush els compared with 73,735,000 bushels forecasted a month ago and the 1927 crop of 80,208,000 bushels. FI AX: Frost damage fco green flax occurred at scattered points dur ing the latter part of August in the northern and eastern part of Mon tana where the bulk of the crop is grown. Damage, doubtless, would have been more pronounced had the cron not been so well advanced. The September 1 estimate of the flax crop based on a condition of 82^ of a normal points to 2.236.000 bushels compared with 2.647 000 hnshote o month aor 0 and the 1927 cron of 0 - 438,000 bushels. Acreage for 1928 will be about 20 % larger than lost year.
