Experimental Station.

A visit to the experimental station,
located about two miles west of Medi-
cine Lodge, is instructive as we'll as en-
joyable. This station is ioca led on the
farm of Mr.. Eli Benedict and is under
his care.
The farm consists of 1,40O acres Of
choice land, with 800 acres under Guilt
walton. mostly second bottom.
MIR. Benedict has on the place now Al
stacks of grain, and some of the finest
bred cattle in the county, but the chief
item of interest is the experiments in
cane growing.
These are Of interest to all farmers,
because the experiments tried there
teach lessons applicable not only to
cain-raislng but to all crops. To illus
trate-in one field Mr.. Benedict has an
acre, the ground for which was plowed
in the fall, all the rest was plowed in
the spring. The cane on the fall plow-
ed acre was feet in length, on the 9TH
er about feet. Again, over the farm
at large, the cane, put in as cane ordi-
narily IS, was curling from dry weather,
on the station, the ground of which was
broken 10 inches deep, and sub-soiled
10 inches more, no cane was curled by
the heat.
The Government station consists OF
40 acres, sloping to the east. The cane
is planted in blocks, separated by open
spaces. to prevent the mixing of seed
Each row is numbered and divided into
sections of 200 feet; each section soweG
from certain seed-head, of which q
registry is kept, thus keeping a pedi
gree, the same as in live stock. The
cane is hoed and from 3 to stalks left

liam and No. liz. Our observations were
taken on July 25th, during the worst OF
the dry spell. The Colman variety was
low, not headed and dry at the bottom
showing the effects of drouth. The
Collier, variety hard to start, was low
and not headed, but was standing
drouth remarkably well. The best va.
rieties were the Links Hybrid, Austria
liam and Folger's Early. Of these the
Links Hybrid stood about 8 feet and
just heading. The Australian, just inn
ported, stranger here stood feet
headed, with strong. vigorous stalk
Fol9er's Early, however, is the orna
ment of the station, standing full II
feet and all headed. One would moi
suspect it had been raised in a drouthy
season. Successful varieties on Other
portions Of the farm were Early Amber
and Black African.
Mr.. Benedict thought at the time that
Folger's Early would make 10 tons tc
the acre without rain.
The station illustrates admirably the
advantages of fall blowing, of deer
plowlng and soiling, of careful cul
tivation and judicious selection of seed
and much of this will probably apply tc
other crops as well as to cain.
MIR. Benedict deserves great credit fol
the perfect manner in which the station
has been laid off and cared for, and the
success of these experiments, we hope
will suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of locating
other experimental stations in Barber
county.

The Healthiest Spot on Earth.
Fine Mineral Waaer-The Best
Place to Spend the Spring
and Summer Months

Southern Pines Moore Co, N. c., is situa-
ted on high sand mountain, and there are
several causes which 60 to make it the
healthiest spot on earth, and the very best
place to stop at during the spring and sum-
mer months. Its elevation above the sur
rounding section for more than one hundred
miles causes delightful breeze at all times
during the summer. It's location amid vast
forest of long leaf pines gives it an atmos-
phere which physicians of national reputation
say is the most healthful to be found in the
United States. The soil being pure white
sand gives perfect drainage, and therefore
no form of malaria can exist. The mineral
springs near by, issueng from a singular
medical store house bnilt by nature and curl
ously situated in this sand mountain seems
as though the Creator intended this spot as q
place where mankind might rest and regain
health.
This place was first noted as q winter
health resort, and thousands of persons from
the Northern States have come to it during
the past few years; and without single ex
ception they have been benefited. During
the past two summers it has been shown by
actual test that those suffering from weak
ness of mind or body can find greater relief
at this place than any other known resort
cut and editor of the New England Medical
Monthly has been investigating for the ben

Southern Pines is the best known place for
those who need rest and sleep. He says the
first inclination one has is to sleep, and that
this rest, without the use of drugs, enables
the natural forces of the body to impart
strength to the diseased parts. Those suffer
ing from indigestion, rheumatism and all
blood disorders, nervousness caused by over
work or any other cause, find relief and

about rs years. The deceased has
been useful man, and of good moral
habits. If we be not in error. he was a
deputy sheriff OF st. Landry under
squire James Morgan. We know he
was sheriff from about 1850 to the lat

~ faithfully discharged. He moved
to the town of Natchitoches and lived
there few years, bnt subsequently, re-

Stand from Under.

The Morgan City Review says, in its
last issue, that, sIf the Solid South is
not broken, it's badly bent, and must
soon go to pieces
However unwilling many may
be to accept what it says as to the fu-
ture of the South, one thing is very GER
tain. There is danger ahead which
men should not be willfully blind to.
lt is safer and better to look things in
the face and to give them the impor-
tance due.
That we are in the midst of great
periis, no honest man can deny We
think, we understand the methods by
which it is proposed to manage all po-
litical affairs, but we can not say we
are content with the outlook. The up

self yet in Louisiana, but every obser-
YER must see that causes are quietly
operating now, which, if not soon re-
moved, must culminate in political con-
vultion at no distant day. 1t is very
we'll for our leading journals to pro-
claim the restored harmony of the
Democratic factions. We are clearly
of the opinion that the fattering unc-
tion may not have the desired effect.
The fact is as plain to the McEnery
faction as the sun is visible to the eye,
in the absence of intervening clouds,
that it alone represents the regular
democratic party organization in Lou
isiana. The unauthorized attempt
made at Baton Rouge to restore party
harmony and unity, has not been fa-
vorably accepted hereabouts. The
died abont in that way. They think
they have some rights which should
be consulted, and which were not.
Then we have the openly declared
purpose of the Farmers alliances to
confront. They are in minority, as
to the united Democracy, but with the
party divided, they can and doubtless
will exercise a controlling power.
They have in the States mentioned,
made great and potent demonstra-
ton, and can do it in Louisiana. They
must be dealt with fairly at the ballot
boz. They are on principle Democrats

1t appears to us, we are standing over

time explode, and send somebody

We desire Democratic harmony, but
want it on due recognition of unde-
niable facts. We are not willing to &C
cept that as a fact, which everyone
