Viii You Sell Your Cotton Seed?

Farmers are now facing the
cotton seed problem. To sell or
not to sell-that's the question.
The mills are now paying S14 a
ton which is equal to 21 cents a
bushel of 80 pounds. The Pro-
duco mill proposes to exchange
with farmers, giving 1900 pounds
of meal and 81. commission for
a ton of seed. Placing the aver
age per cent of ammonia at 81 in
cotton seed meal, that would
give SO pounds'in the 1900 pounds
of meal, also % pounds phos-
phoric acid. According to the
estimates put on these elements
at Clemson College, they are
worth S13. Now the ton of cot
ton seed has 50 pounds of am
monia, all the potash and phos-
phoric acid to be found in 1000
bounds of hulls, besides the lin
ters and oil. The question for
the farmer to settle is this; Is
one ton of seed worth just as
much to his land as the 1900
pounds ofmeal? If it is he loses the
hauling to and from the mill. Cot
ton seed have about 3 per cent
of ammonia. That is, in five
bushels of cotton seed to the
acre, thelfarmer will get as much
ammonia as he does in 200 POUNDS
of commercial fertilizer. One
ton of cotton seed and one ton of
acid-phosphate 1913, will make
a pretty fair application for ten
acres of land. The cost would
be about $3.50 per acre. Ten
ants and others who are com
PEELED to sell seed will find sl4 a
fair price. That makes the seed
from a bale of cotton worth
about Sc. But can the farmer
who wishes to improve his land
sell his seed, or exchange for
meal at the above rates? He
can afford to buy seed at q cents
a bushel. He will find them
cheaper than guano.-Carolina

Louvre, who is seen at her best
from the beginning of the suite
of rooms at the end of which she
stands in all her unapproacha-
BILE, majestic beauty.
I object to perfection in gener-
al, and the beauty Of woman
makes no exception to my rule.
I am not happy or contented
when I find nothing to be de-
sired.
I sometimes like to suggest
myself my own little improve
ments to a sight Of nature, to a
work of art. I like my imagl-
nation to be at work.
The beautiful woman is seldom
clever and seldom interesting
Like the peacock, she should be
seen and not heard.
At school or college she did
not stoop over books, because it
might have spoiled her figure,
and her hands never stroked her
head for fear Of disarranging
her hair, and native genius sell
dom goes with great beauty.
Female geniuses are, as a rule,
we'll labelled by a thoughtful
Providence who saw that men
ran few or no risks.
The perfectly beautiful woman
should be avoided as much as
perfect geniuses in the tender
relations of the sexes.
Madame de Stael, George
Sand and George Eliot were man.
ly in feature and gait, and very
plain.
Rachel was not beautiful. 1t
would be ungallant to mention
some others who are still alive.
Beautiful and pretty women
are never jealous of female
geniuses, for beautiful women
are masterpieces of creation, and
the female geniuses are it's
freaks.
On the other hand, the most
famous female genius might re,
sent being told that she was not
beautiful.
Talleyrand was one day sitting
at. table between Madame de-
Stael and the exquisitely beauti-
full Madame Recamier.
''Here I am," he remarked,
''sitting between genius and
beauty"
"Without possessing either, :"
retorted Madame de Stael, piqued
at the remark of the willy states
man, who was very ugly man.

Jerusalem.
The ancient aqueducts and re-
servoirs of Jerusalem testify to
the abundant provision that was
made for running water in the
Holy City when it was the me-
tropolis of the Jewish state. 1t
is only within the last few weeks
that they have been brought
again into the service of the city,
which during intervening cen
turies, has been dependent upon
the scanty accumulations of rain
water. The drouths of the pres
ent summer led to distress, which
happily, the new governor OF
Jerusalem, Mohammed Pjevad
Pasha, had the will and energy
to combat. He secured the Sui
tan's consent to lay Immediate
ly a pipe from Solomon's pools,
nine miles south of the city.
The pipe draws from the seal
ed fountain mentioned in the
song of Solomon: MY beloved
is like a spring, shut up in a
fountain sealed" the deep down
subterranean spring, which,
from the time Of Solomon, flowed
through an arched channel to a
distributing chamber. The tun-
mel is rooted with stones in the
shape of an inverted V. 1t is
one Of the oldest structures in
existence. 1t passes through
the valley where the beautiful
ancient gardens of Solomon are
mentioned in Ecclesiastes.
1t passes the spot where Elijah
is said to have restedin his flight
from Jezebel, and crosses the
plains of Ephriam, where David,
in the heat of the battle with the
Philistines, longed for water
from the we'll Of Bethlehem.
Finally, after passing around the
slope of Zion, it enters the city
through the mosque of Omar,
which is in the old temple area.
This drawing from Solomon's
pools will enable the use OF
twelve ancient fountains in the
city. It will require 20 kilome-
ters Of piping, ten centimes in
diameter, when finally installed.
The governor has also success

Bul If one thing above another Is clear

This leads me to remark that the

conscious OF individuality, Of proper

definite orbit, and continues in it's own
way. The beautiful rainbow with it's

formation. There is a common human
family but it ls divided into nations,
races and tribes. There ls a church OF

GROWING INSTITUTION
STATEMENT CONCERNING A
 MONTGOMERY BANK.
New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle Pays High Tribute to the Merchants and Planters
 National Bank.

In its issue of May IS The New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle after very complimentary allusion to
 the Merchants and Planters National Bank of Montgomery. published a statement to illustrate the growth of
 this important financial institution. When 1t is understood that The Commercial and Financial Chronicle is perhaps the leading newspaper of its | class in the world. that it Is regarded | as international authority on financial matters and that its editorial utter ances are entirely voluntary it's state ments will be appreciated by the friends of the local bank.
 The Commercial and Financial Chronicle says;
 "one of .he banks in Alabama which
 has added to its business in a notable way within the last twelve months is the Merchants and Planters National Bank of Montgomery, Ala. In our is- sue of June 9th, last year. it was pointed out that this bank had ab- sorbed the Bank of Montgomery and had increased its capital stock from $1o0.00 to $250, ,00s. This, however. was only the initial step in the process of extending the operations of the insti- tuition. The first return made to the Comptroller of the Currency after the increase in stock-that is, the call showing condition September 5th. 1900, reported deposits of only $667. .433. On the other hand. the statements for the present ycar-that of April 24th. as we'll as that of February 5th-both show totals of nearly two and one half times this amount. We append the following statement to illustrate the banks growth within the last few months. also adding comparisons with the corresponding items in the earlier years.

hR. CARTER WILL BUILD
 ROCKY MOUNT ROAD,
Board of Revenue Received Proposi- ton to Bore Artesian We'll at Jail or Court House-Other
 Business Transacted.

The Board of Revenue at A regular meeting yesterday awarded the con- tract for graveling the Rocky Mount road from Ada to Showdown. a dis- tance Of eleven miles, to MT. E. S. Carter of Montgomery. The contract calls for 2S.000 cubic yards of gravel. MT. Carter contracted to place the gravel at Showdown for 70 cents per cubic yard, at Ada for 80 cents per cubic yard and at Sprague for Sd cents per cubic yard
 Work on the new road will be com- menced immediately.
 MT. Jesse Wadsworth, the other bid der was cents per cubic yard higher than MT. Carter.
 that MT. w. H. Rives with his road outfit had commenced work grading Hull Street from Jeff Davis Avenue to Burton Avenue, preparatory to gray cling.
 For some time the members of the Board of Revenue have had under dis cussion the idea of boring ap artesian well either in the jail or the court house yard. The members are of the opinion that quite a sum can be saved the County by this arrangement as the present water bills range from $500 to 1000 per annum.
 Yesterday MT. Frank J. Tillerson of Montgomery. submitted a proposition to the Board to bore an artesian well in either the jail or court house yard and to erect a tower and tank and equip 1t with electrical apparatus for 5000.
 The Board appointed Messrs. Thomp- son. Carter and Dreyspring a com mittee to further confer with MT. Til- lerson in regard to this matter.

More Men of the Late Twenty-ninth Infantry Return to Their
 Homes,

Lieutenant William P. Screws of the 18th volunteer infantry, who arrived at home several days ago, left yester- day for Washington, to confer with the officials in regard to an examination which is required of him for the securement of his commission as second lieutenant in the regular army.
 Captain Philip S. Stern of the 29th regiment has also arrived in Mont gomery. Captain Stern Is in splendid health and is looking remarkably well. He took part in all the expeditions of the 29th regiment and had some thrill ing experiences in the Philippines.
 Captain Stern served in similar capacity with the 5th immunes in Cuba and the excellent reputation he made as an army officer there was maintain ed in the Philippines. He was being cordially greeted by his friends yester- day.
 Messrs Robert Benjamin, Howard Jones and George Cochran also of Montgomery who served as members of the 29th in the Philippines have also reached home. These young men served in the 9th i'm munes in Cuba and did valient ser vice for their country. They talk in terestingly of their experiences and say they are ready and willing to again respond to the call should their coun- try need them.

Hunter McGuire, chief surgeon to Stonewall Jackson. This book Is one of the most import ant contributions to the history of the ante-bellum period in the Southern States. It does not descend to argu- ! ment in defense of the Southern plant
 CT and his home life at that time, but
 with faithful hand presents a picture
 ever true of the life among these people
 as 1t really was.
 It is full of humor, and it's fund of anecdotes is almost inexhaustable. With the humor runs a serious vein
 which shows the seamy side of the
 old planters life. and its constant care
 to provide for and regulate his family of over "three-hupdred grown-u2 chil-
 dren" as the author tenderly calls the slaves.
 There are side lights, too, on the pol itics of the period, but no attempt to introduce them or argue the correct
 ness of any persons theory The great charm of the book is its fidelity to facts and these stubborn things" as MT. Grandgrind calls them, are what furnish in this book the most effective answer ever written to those
 who have traduced the -bellum civilization of The Old South"
 To the younger generation North and South it can not fail to be both an in spiration and benediction for it is

 lures of past that is past, but whose
 memories are redolent with humor,
