Southern Farming Prospect:
Sugar Planters Journal.

Discussing the future of the
South, Col. J. b. Killebrew, the
well-known authority upon South
ern agriculture, writes in the
Twentieth Anniversary Number
of the Manufacturer Record of
Baltimore: "When more capital
and more intensive agriculture
and more intelligent labor are APP
piled to its development it will Ii
terally become the garden spot OF
all the earth. 1t is blessed with
every soil; it grows nearly every
crop; it breeds every valuable do
mestic animal; it stands in the
highway of the coming commerce
of the world; it has an ocean from
tage of more than 5000 miles; it
is traversed by some Of the grand
est rivers on the earth; it's health
fulness for the insistent and stren-
nous Anglo-Saxon is not surpass--
ed by that of any other country;
its climate is so beautiful and SO
generous, SO free from the ex-
tremes of heat and cold, from ex-
cessive humidity and destructive
aridity, SO prolific of all the fruits
Of the earth, and with such pleni-
tude in It's amenities that the ha-
bitable globe can furnish DO su-
perior. to it. No other place is
more desirable for the permanent
homes of a highly intelligent
! Christian people. 1t occupies the
latitude and isotherms of the
worlds highest civilization and
greatest achievements. The great
minerals of progressive and ag-
gressive civilization, viz, coal,
iron, copper, lead, phosphate, mar
BILE and many others, exist in
abundance. These minerals. with
the textile fibers, forests and to-
bacco, can furnish the raw mate
rails to give employment to 50,-
100000 people engaged in other
pursuits than agriculture, and the
soils of the South can feed and
J clothe them all. The South is the
, grandest heritage ever bequeathed
to man. 1t is region where in

Irrigation in Texas.
Louisiana Planter.

i'm Southwestern LOulSiaud iloih
the irrigation of the excellent rice
lands of. that locality, has led to
an enormous development OF the
irrigation idea in the same section
and also in the prairie land OF
Texas. 1t was but few years ago |
that the Louisiana rice crop de-
pended largely upon the rainfall.
In seasons of heavy rainfall in
Southwestern Louisiana the rice
crop was large. If the rainfall was
limited, or occurred at the wrong
time, the rice crop was short, and
hence the product of these unlrrl-
gated fields became known as Pro-
violence rice. Providence rice cul-
ture continued so long that the at
tention of thinking people was d.
rected to the possibility of irriga-
ting these lands when Nature fail
ed in her supply of rain. This
led to the establishment of num-
Der of irrigating stations and the
financial results of these ventures
was generally good. The enormous
rice crop of last year, about 5000,
600 bags, could never have been
produced in any other way than
by the copious supply of water
brought about artiticially. New
companies are still organizing in
Southwestern Louisiana and the
development of irrigation by Ca
nails with one or more lifts of wa
ter from the streams furnishing
THE supply, and by the deep well
process, which is attracting consi-
derable attention, is providing
that section of our state with such
a supply of water as will insure a
very large increase in rice produc-
ton in that section.
In Texas, where they generally
do things in a large sort of way
much attention is now being 81
ven to procuring water for irriga
ting the rice fields, and the Hous

Negroes Mt Mount Zion.
The Negroes for Is or 20 miles around
had their annual big meeting at
"Mount Zion" a short distance from
Gnthriesyille, last Sunday. These
Mount Zion meetings have had tough
reputation during many years past
several killings having occurred at them
in times past. But the disorder ana
rowdyism have not detracted from
their popularity. Last Sundays meet
ing was a notable exception as 10 tne
matter of good behavior, ana "na.eHe,
NAV have been the cause, good many
neonIe attribute it to a fact that was
not without a certain influence. Dur
inc last summer the local liVerymen
had several horses driven to death at
different times by different colored pa
irons. Almost every turnout IN the IL
cal stables was hired for Sundays dig
meeting. In each case the liverymen
stipulated how their horses were 10 De

sary driving; nothing but the straight
trip to Mount Zion and back. Follow
ing up this agreement Mr.. w. D. Glenn
representing Glenn & Allison & ana MI
G. F. Gordon, representing the Clyburn-
Heath Mule company, went down TO
Mount Zion to see that it was carried
out. Mr.. P. w. Love went along also
to be Of assistance in case or troupe.
Tbere was no disorder during the day
and no unnecessary driving OF the
horses. The presence Of the YorkVille
liverymen was boon also to the horses
from Chester. Rock Hill and otner
points. After the meeting, one OF the
prea chers approached Messrs. Glenn.
Gordon and Love and expressed ms
thanks for their attendance. saying
that largely because OF them the oay
had been marked by the best order
that had ever been known to prevail
on any similar occasion.

SERMON BY SIGNS.
Novel Church Service for Deaf Con.
Quoted in Topeka.

Beautiful in its impressiveness for
those who could only see and not COM
prehend, and deeply gratifying to those
who are deprived of the faculty of hear
ing but who perceive through the sign
language of the deaf. was the service
which Rev. H. Hanerberg, German Luz
theTan missionary for the deaf, of St.
Louis. Mo-, conducted in the German
Lutheran church Wednesday evening.
Rev Mr.. Hallerberg spoke for an hour
to an audience of fifteen people Of both
sexes. At the close of the sermon they
told him they had understood his ser
mon almost perfectly and greeted him
individually with much pleasure.
Rev. Mr.. Hallerberg presented to
them the thought of the divinity OF
however, by a shokt prayer, and the
recitation of the apostles creed in uni
son with & part of those to whom he
was preaching At the end of the ser
mon the Lords prayer, a supplication
Of his own framing, and a benediction
completed his part of the service.
Throughout all of it there was not 4
sound in the room except an occasional
echo as the minister brought his hands
together The face of the preacher.
however, was full of expression, showing
the different moods in contemplation by
him. and from that source those VINO
knew nothing of the wonderful sign
language were able to judge in SOME
degree the trend of his thought
At the end OF the sermon Miss Orrel
Altman rendered the hymn Nearer, NJ
God, to Thee in the signs. Then Rev.
Mr.. HaIlerberg followed with brief
summary of the thoughts which he had
presented in his sermon, preaching in
the German language 1t has been
limited that the deaf of this city and the
surrounding country might organize into
a church society, but it was said We'd
nesday evening that this was scarcely
probable Just now. Rev. Mr.. Halter
berg is doing work for the deaf among
a few cities of this section, incidental to
his regular labors. He ministers. to COLI
gregations of these people at Hannibal,
! Mo, Quincy, Jacksonville and Spring
/ field, Ill. and is young man of much
power. He will preach this evening i'll
