THE NEGRO AND COTTON.
Carnegie Takes a Peculiar View
Dutch May Regain South Africa

At meeting of the Armstrong AS.
ISOLATION in New York Andrew Carne-
gle surprised his hearers by'asserting
that he believed great Britain would
surely some day lose South Africa.
He said:
"It is about as certain as we are liv-
ing that Great Britain will lose South
Africa because the Dutch population
there is increasing while the British
are not. The kaffirs won't work
What would Great Britain give for
nine million negroes as peaceable and
as lovable as those in this country?
These men give us about II 900, 900
bales of cotton every year and this, !
contend, helps make the United States
the most powerful nation Ia the world.
Suppose a feet of British war ships
shouldOattack US? The president as
commander in chief of the army and
navy need only raise his hand and say
stop exporting cotton and the war
would be won. What happy country
this is to-haye the negro.
"My knowledge of the question leads
me to the opinion that no political
measure can ever benefit the negro"

WAS HE OR SHE EATEN /?
What Was Found in Shark Kill
ed by Sailors.

Here is fish story from the usually
accurate and conservative Savannah
News: "Off the South American coast
recently big shark was discovered by
the crew of the steamer Hypatia to be
following in the steamers wake. A
pet superstition among sailormen is
that when a shark follows a ship there
is going to be a death aboard. The
Hypatia's sailors determined that the
first death should be that of the shark,
If they could accomplish it, so with
the captains permission they rugged
and bated line and threw it over.
TO cut the story short, the shark was
captured, and in it's stomach was found
among an assortment OF scrap iron and
other junk gold wedding ring mark
ed IL. A., 1872 The question that
has puzzled the crew ever since is, was
he eaten, or was she eaten? Was the
ring cast into the sea and into the
shark incidentally as result OF a
quarrel, or was the finger that wore II
bitten off by the monster of the deep.

A STRICKEN CITY.
An Appeal for Help Comes from
Butler, Pa.

The officials of the town of Butler,
Pa, where an epidemic of typhoid
fever has prevailed for number of
weeks, are now making strong appeals
to the entire country for assistance. 1t
seems that the relief committee has
collected all the funds it lean, and yet
there are many cases that have not
proper attention. There is a lack of
food, of medicines and of nurses.
The town has population of $4,000,
and there have thus far been 1900
cases and about So deaths. The death
rate has been comparatively light, for
the reason, probably, that the disease
has not been malignant. Still, it has
been severe enough to practically par
alize the business of the town, so that
most of the people who have cases of
the disease in their families are in
need OF assistance.

SHORTAGE OF BABIES.
Women in Fine Houses Do Not
Want the Little Ones.

Right Rev. Joseph M. Francis,
bishop of the Episcopal diocese of In-
diana, declares thats the shortage of
babies in the church is alarming, and
that the homes of wealLhier members
of the church in Indiana have an aver
age OF only about one child 10 the fans
lily.
Women of the finer bones do noh
want babies nowadays" says Bishop
Francis.
I'VE have constantly increasing
number of baptisms, but the baptism
OF infants is decreasing. This Ia not
because people do Tot want their.
babies baptized, but because there are
few babies.
"The Living Church annual, the
Episcopal almanac, for the year just Is
sued, shows how alarming is this
shortage of babies in the church.
The number of baptlsms of infants has
decreased SO per cent in fourteen
years. This is in the face OF an in~
crease OF communicates.
mot only is there shortage OF ba-
bies in our church, but all over the
land-in the wealthiest homes. 1t ap-
pears like a repetition of the career OF

AN ODOROUS INAUGURATION

AS soon as it can get deoderized,
the Kentucky capital will settle down
to business.
But the prospects are that days and
perhaps weeks will elapse before the
scent OF frangapani and new mown hay
supplants the mephitic righteousness
which rides upon the gale.
1t was cunning device of the en-,

Ten Thousand people were gathering
from every section of the dark and
bloody ground to witness the inaugn-
ration of Governor ). G. w. Beckham.
Elaborate ceremonies had been arr
ranged. Two thousand soldiers Ia
gliCtering uniforms were parading the
streets and the beauty and the chiv~
airy of the state we're gathered to at
tend the inaugural ball.s
But while the clans gathered there
suddenly arose upon the crisp, clear
air an odor like that of the menagerie
let down to Peter in his prayers.
Ten able. bodied skunks had been
surreptitiously turned loose in the
crowd The little beasts wired in and
out among the streets and across the
campus of the capitol and the trail of
their skunkship was over them ALL A

gained with weapons of every variety
and the search for the disturbers was

1t seemed al one time as if the elab-
crate ceremonies would have to be
postponed. The impulse on the part
of the people to flee was strong indeed,
and the ball! well, an inaugural ball
with such an accompaniment was all
most out OF the question.
After great trials and tribulations
the governor was finally inaugurated.
but the blossom of the occasion had
lost its blush.
The people were glad to escape to

land under proper management, and
his herd will not only pay for the
expense of their keeping, but give him
a good profit besides.
In order to bring his land up to the
highest point Of productiveness he will
find that after utilizing all the home
prepared fertilizers, ne will need to
purchase largely OF commercial fertil
izers, and OF high grade at that.
Although we know the Importance
of the we'll prepared compost, we jalso
know how greatly a good, high grade
commercial fertilizer will add to the
fertility Of even good land.
We recognize the fact that good
farm labor is growing scarcer each
year. and also that there is too great
tendency to exhaust our lands by
requiring too much OF them and In
return giving them only half ration
of plant food. Let the farmer study
the needs OF his land and feed It as
he would his stock.
On account of the scarcity Of labor
let him fertihze his land until Ne Gcan
make ten acres produce what twenty
now supply.
Selection of Seed
Even the best preparation and cul.
tivation with the most judicious use
of fertilizers will fail to produce the
best results, unless attention Is given
to the selection of seed.
The farmer should carefully select
for his planting seed from some well
approved variety, and then watch the
growth of his cotton and carefully Sc
lect for his next years planting seed
from those stalks which have yielded
the largest number of bolls of the
best quality, and which have proven
most capable of resisting any disease
that may have appeared in his crop.
1t is a good plan to send some COM
petent hand over the cotton fields and
select the best developed bolls from
each plant. A better plan is to go

ton, and see that it is well done. The
seed thus selected should not las MIXED
with other seed and great care
should be taken that they should not
become heated during the process OF
drying.

Nothing makes everything upon the
farm succeed and prosper as it ought
like personal supervision of the mas
