SOUTHERN PLANTATIONS.
Conducted Differently from the Way They
Were Managed Under the Old Regime.

| Conducted Differently from the Way They
Were Managed Under the Old Regime.
Plantations at the present day are
conducted very differently from the
way they were managed under the old
regime. The one have in mind COM
prises something over five thousand
acres. The proprietor reserves about
two hundred and fifty acres for his
own planting and rents out the re-
I mainder to small farmers, who give
him so many pounds or bales of cotton
for the rent, in proportion to the guam
tity and quality of the particular piece
of ground they cultivate, the size of
house and corn house of which they
have the use, etc. Much discrimina-
tion is required in the selection of ten
ants, for defective or Indifferent farm
ing will impoverish the land and en-
danger the landlords chances of col
1ecting his rent. Most of the tenants
are negroes, forty families of that race
residing on the place.
OF these, says the Boston Transcript,
there are number who are excellent
farmers, thrifty, industrious, prompt
in paying their obligations, and thor
oughly interested in everything that
pertains to their business, the wife
working as hard as her husband-hard-
er, in fact, because when her field work
is over she cooks the simple meals,
washes the clothes and patches the gar
mentS for her numerous family by the
blaze of a light wood torch, after the
members of the household are rolled in
their respective quilts and voyaging
in Sunderland. She does more than
this, for she raises chickens and tur-
keys, sometimes geese and ducks, using
the eggs for pocket money and to OBJ
tain the tobacco which is as necessary
to her comfort as to that of her hus-
band and sons.
The majority of the negroes go to
work in the early morning, with no
breakfast, or perhaps only crust to
nibble on. When they come in, at
twelve o'clock, a stirabout is made "a
dish concocted of corn meal, salt and
water, and looking very much as the
name suggests) of which all the family
partalze, the elder members eating an
allowance" of bacon. Any 1uxuries
they may enjoy appear at the evening
meal, such as coffee, flour, etc. Usually,
however, their fare is of the simplest
and cold water their beverage, except
on Sundays and high days, celebrated
usually with reference to some reli-
gious festival. Too much credit cannot
be given these hard-working wives and
mothers, who hoe, rake, cook, wash,
chop, patch and mend, from morning
until night Very often garments will
be patched until scarcely trace of the
original foundation material can be
seen, and there are many cases where
the wife is much the best ''cottoa chop
per" of the two, and her work far more
desirable than her husbands.

Naooleon,s Piano.

A piano made for Napoleon in 1910
has been unearthed in London. In
shape it is a grand with silver keys,
and, curiously enough, there are five
pedals. Two of these work a drum and
cymbals, and were presumably added
in compliment to the military tastes of
the emperor.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh, manufactured by F.. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure in the market It is
taken internally III doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatism or neuralgia quoted.
The severe pain of a burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has
to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflammation sets
in, which insures cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive i'm
mediate treatment before the parts be-
come swollen. which can only be done
when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A
sore throat may be cured before it be-
comes serious. A troublesome corn may
be removed by applying it twice day
for week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable time
saved or a pain in the side or chest re-
lIeved without paying doctor bill. Pro-
cure so cent bottle at once and you
will never regret it. For sale by Blakeley

Preparing for an Attack from Striking
West Virginia Miners.
MONTGOMERY, w. Va. Feb. 2.--There Is
very serious state OF affairs threatening
III the kanawha Valley among the coal
miners, There have been three meetings
at this place within in the past week, and
oil OF them have been more or less menac-
Ing in their character. They have all
adopted resolutions denouneing the coal
operators and railroads, and that held
last night went further, and passed n
resolution binding every man In the meet
ing to do nothing to save the property OF
any coal operator in case II was attacked
by striking coal miners. This was for n
double purpose, for some of the men have
been approached to act as watchmen and
some OF them belong TO the state militia
The operators are thoroughly alarmed
by the attitude of the strikers and have
gone so far as TO arm themselves to repel
any attack which may be made Several
cases OF Winchester rifles and ammuni
ton have been shipped to the mines up
the valley. Sheriff Sillman is In com
m unication with the operators, and is pre-
pared to suppress any uprising. He will
call upon the governor at once II any
move is made. All the men are now out
OF the mines, except at Stevens mines
where they are working for the 2L cent
rate. A committee waited on them yes
terday, but 1t Is understood they refused
to quit work. The strikers have been out
OF employment for long time.
