a Sad Accident.

Will Goodsen aged l6 years while
assisting his father VIM McLain in
moving his house Tuesday had the
misfortune to get his hand caught
under one of the rollers, before the
rollers could be stopped the arm was
crushed half way up to the elbow
from the hand, some of the fingers
nearly severed from the hand, being
held by only pieces of flesh. There
is possibility of saving some of them
while it may be- found necessary to
amputate the whole hand. The acci.
dent is very sad affair as the boys
presence was not required and his
assistance was voluntarily.

The Poor Farm Question.

believe that poor farm woulC
tend to increase the poor expenses
and at the same time give better aiC
to the really deserving poor, yet much
depends upon the business manage
ment of poor farm. In some count
les a poor farm has been Improbable
but in nearly every instance where
this is SO either the overseer has not
been a pract;cle farmer or com
petent superintendent, or else the
county commissioners have not used
the business sagacity essenti al to the
success Of any venture IF Mobiles
county is to have poor farm which
I hope will be the case-the greatest
care should be exercised in the selec.
tion Of an overseer. It is too often
the practice to select man for this
position who has made a failure Of
farming and is the pet Of some com
missioner who desires to help him to
"a good thing."' This is the worst
mistake that could be made. Select
successful, economical farmer: who
will give the work his careful attent-
ion and the Success Of the project is
already well assured.
Under our present system it is i'm;
possible to prevent considerable
waste in poor allowances, and occasi-
onally some people get more help
than they are entitled to, as last
year one family was given aid to the
amount OF $500. This is more than
the average farmers family has to
liveon and it seems bit unreasonable
that we as taxpayers should be call
ed upon to contribute our share that
some family can live in regal splen-
dor at public expense.
Then, again, if we had poor farm
many people who now receive county
aid would probably make more of an
effort to provide for themselves rather
than go to the poor house.
A poor farm is often good invest

which 1t is intended. Land can be.
bought at a low figure now, and the
rise in value during the. next ten
years would be no inconsiderable
item, while the buildings can be kept
in good condition with little expense.

farmers on the matter. They are
