That Old Superstition.

Washington, September 26.. Super.
stitiously inclined persons are finding
occasion for comment in the fact that
President Roosevelt began his New
England tour on Friday, and before the
trip. ended a trolly car accident at Pitts.
field. Mass, injured the President and
killed member of his party. The
President began his western tour ON
Friday, again selecting the particular
day of the week which is. supposed by
the superstitious to be unlucky. Before
he had been week on his journey he
was compelled to 60 to hospital, and
the trip was discontinued. 1t was re-
called by gentleman who was present
at Oyster Bay when the arrangements
for the New England trip was completed
that detective Craig, who soon after
was killed, expressed great regret that
that the President should choose Friday
for beginning his journey. 81 cannot
understand" said Craig, "why the Pres
ident persists in flying in the face of
fate. | really wish he could be per.
suaded not to begin these journeys on
Fridays, the unlucky day of the week. d
The train incidents of that journey
gives to Detective Craig's words almost
the weight of prophecy.

Floods in Texas.

Houston, Texas, September 27.-Dur.
ing the past 12 hours there has been a
terrible rainfall over the whole of South
and portion of East Texas, which has
done great damage to the open cotton
washed away innumerable small and
many big bridges, drowned cattle and
caused other destruction. The small
streams are reported out of their banks
in every direction and the railroads have
suffered heavy damage to their tracks
and bridges.
At Kennedy it is estimated that 1E
inches of water fell. Many people were
compelled to remove from their homes.
AT. Rancho 62-foot stell bridge was
wrecked by the flood and carried half a
mile down the stream. Several houses
were washed away, but their inhabitants
got out in safety.
great number of horses were caught
in the bottoms at various points and
W ere drowned. Gonzales county, espe-
cially, suffered heavily in this respect.
The loss to cotton cannot even be esti-
mated, because of the large area affected.
Picking had been in progress for some
days, butall that had not been removed
from the bolls is total loss, being
beaten into the ground. The rain has
thoroughly relieved the ong-existing
drought in the cattle country along the
lower coast.

fore mirror this morning and fired a
bullet from her fathers revolver into her
heart. She was alone in the house. Her
mother, in the yard, heard the shot, but
the girl was dying when she reached her.
She left simple note, indicating that
certain rumors against her character
were so unjust that she could not stand
them and that she thought it best to get
out of the way of people. She asked
her mother not to grieve or let Tom be-
lieve the stories. The Tom referred to
was Tom Wilson, an estimable young
man, who was engaged to Eva, and who
is nearly crazed with grief over her un-
timely end. He says he has known her
for two, years, and a purer, better girl
never lived. Great indignation is felt
against the malicious people who drove
an innocent girl to suicide.

The Proper Time to Sow Oats.

Oats may be sown any time up
to the middle of October with a
reasonable chance of their living
through the winter. After talking
with many farmers and reading much
that has been written we believe the
only way to provide against winter
killing of oats is to prepare land we'll
and put in the oats with the one
horse grain drill which leaves high,
sharp ridge between the rows. The
oats are considerably below the sur
face. There is generally moisture
enough to bring them up even in dry
weather. The ridges protect them.
The land, instead of being lifted by
frost, expands horizontally, leaving
the bottom of the furrow where the
oats are stationary.
AS the ground thaws and the rains
come fine dirt Sits down amongst
| the oats, which is equal to working.
About the first of April if the ridges
are little too high for reaper or
easy grading run light smoothing
harrow diagonally acrossqthe rows.
That will level the lS and cult
vate the oats. The Burt cat is the
earliest. 1t should be sown in Feb
ruary on good land and it will be
ready to cut the last of May. The
Southern Red Rust Proof is the
most prolific if sown in the fall. Of
the later oats the Brown, the Turf,
the Grazing, the White Winter and
Virginia Grays are about equal.
They all grow taller than the early
