PROGRESS IN FARM WORK.
Report Of the Planting Operations of
the Past Week.

| Z Icy
Mr.. j. w. Bauer, section director OF
the weather bureau, last week issued
his weekly report of farm operations,
complied from letters from correspond
cnts throughout the State. He says,
In part
1T appears that the frost of the
9TH reached to witlain a few miles Of
the coast, and that thin ice formed
over the northern counties, but that
the damage was slight and was con-
fined to white potatoes and other ten !.
der garden truck. Fruit escaped in
Jury.
There were quite general rains on
the Sth, heavy in the western and
northern counties, that delay farm
work materially by making the ground
too wet to plough in the already
named divisions, where ploughlpg was
practicable on one or two days only ;it
the close Of the week,
The rainfall was light over the
eastern half OF the State, and farm
work was :carcely Interrupted by It,.
The week closed with warm, cloudy,
threatening and showery conditions
prevailing that are favorable for
growth OF vegetation. but are unfavor-
able for the rapid progress OF farm
work.
Planting operations made favora-
blc progress in the eastern and south
eastern counties, where they are rs
far advanced as usual at this season.
IN the western counties planting Is
from 10 to Is days later than usual,
with but little corn and no cotton
planted.
Corn that was planted early is
coming up to fair stands, and some Is
being cultivated. Birds arc destroying
stands In few counties
Cotton planting has mt advanced
beyond The central counties, and In
places in the eastern IL h-ing purpose
ly delayed, awaiting more settled
weather.
Oats look we'll in a few localities
only. Generally they have been seri-
ollsly damaged by grain aphis and
by rust. Some fields ore ruined.
Wheat has an unusually rank
growth, but in places the plants are
turning red, in other localities rust
has appeared, both conditions tending
to mar its prospects.
Rice planting has made fair pro-
greSs, except In the Georgetown dis
trlct, where the lands are still too
vet to work.
| Tobacco plants are plentiful and
early. Transplanting is actively un-
der way. Some farmers have almost
finished this work.
.{Strawberry shipments are being
fmaHe from all the eastern truck dis
GGriGts.
Melon plants are slckly in the
Charleston district, owing to defective
seed. Other truck crops are growing
slowly. Bugs have appeared on white
potatoes. Pastures afford fine graz
ing.
Fruit prospects appear to be un-
impaired, with, however, a few locali-
ties that report peaches sparscly SET"

A Fearful Accident.

Enoch and William White, two
brothers, attempted to plug hole III
an iron furnace at Bristol, Va, We'd
nesday before all the molten iron had
passed out. The iron exploded It,
covering the faces and bodies of the
men and burning deep holes in the
flesh. The scene was sickening. Both
will die.

friends Of the negro, fully believing In
the possibility of his Improvement and
advancement, and sincerely and con-
iidently iaborlng TO that end, it is folly
for us to ignore the Importance Of the
ungrudging cooperation on the part Of
the white people Of the south in this
work. Labor as we will, those who do
the lifting Of the weight must be
those who stand next to 1t. This CO.
operation cannot be forced; nor can IT.
be gained by gratuitously running
counter to firmly fixed and tenaciouSlY

confronted with tho question Of the
negrO'S full enjoyment OF civic advan-
tges or even Of all his political privI-
legcS, there are Immediately before us
and around us questions demanding
our Immediate care ana that, in deal
ing effectively with these, we can con-
fldently rely upon the announcement
and assistance Of every thoughtful and
patriotic citizen Of the land, wherever
he may live and whatever may be his
ideas or predictions concerning the
more remote phase OF the negro prob
lem. These questions that arc SO i'm
mediatcly pressing have to do with tile
practical education of the negro and
especially with fitting him to compete
with his white ncighbors in gaining 4
decent, respectable and rcmunora ii We
livelihood. Booker Washington. in
speaking ON the conditions and needs
OF Ills race, has wisely said: 1t is at
the bottom OF life we must begin and
not at the t@p; nor should we permit
our grievances to uvcrShaduw our op-
portunitics.
In summing up the whole matter,
there is one thing Of which we can be
absolutely certain. When We aid TuS-
kegoc institute and agencies like it.,
striving for the mental and manual
education Of the negro at the south,
we are in every point OF yiew render

MANY EATING LETTUCE BELIEVING
THAT IT is SMALLPOX PREVENTIVE

one OF the leading physicians yesterday,
'is lactucarium. This has an effect
something like opium, without the bad
after effects Of the latter drug. IL is In
a mild degree a sleep producer, and is
used for children to quiet them and
produce sleep. Il Is also used TO allay
coughs. These are the only uses that
have been discovered for lactucarium.
The medical journals show that ia COM
mon garden lettuce there are but about
twelve grains Of lactucarium. while IN
the wild lettuce. which Is used for
medicinal purposes. there are siXty-five
grains Of the active principle. Conse-
quenty, the amount OF lactucarlum
that you would get in eating garden
lettuce would not even make you sleepy,
let alone keep you from having small
pOX.
THE idea that smallpox is a scOrbutic
disease and may be cured like scurvy
is amusing. Medical science has proven
that any disease which requires a
period Of termination before any symp-
toms Of the disease appear. is a germ
disease This IS the case with small
pOx If IL were scOrbutlc like scurvy.
why is il that a man exposed to IL win
develop the disease and another who
lives under the same conditions and is
not exposed viii not develop it? And
why is il that sailors deprived Of veg
etables will develop scurvy and not
smallpox The idea is prepOsterOus."

A run is being made on the local let
tuce market The cause Of the unusual
popularity OF the garden product is the
general belief that IL is a sure prevent
i've Of smallpox This idea was gained
from an article published In medical
magazine. claiming that a test had
proven that any person who ate lettuce
every day could go through the most
malignant epidemic of smallpox with
out danger of contracting the disease.
In other words. the article set forth
that lettuce was pleasant and az the
same time infalllble preventive,
AS "a result of the publication Of the
article here "a great run is being made
on the lettuce market. Since the ap-
pearance of the article the local res
taurants have been unable 20 supply the
demand for the vegetable. Apparently
large number of the people of Salt
Lake who are not in favor OF vacclna-
ton are anxious to give the alleged new
remedy a thorough trial.
In the article il was claimed that
smallpox was a scOrbuiC disease similar
20 scurvy. and that as vegetables were
"a cure f0r scurvy the claim that let
tuce was a preventive Of smallpox
was Just as logical The physicians of
the city laugh at this idea and say that
lettuce IS about as much OF a prevent
i've for smallpox as the left hind foot
of a rabbit.

made subjects TO show the noble purpose
