Q OF A NEGRO COLONY.
Remarkable Progress OF Calhoun
school and settlement in
Lowndes County, Ala.

49, N9alHHE @ferhEAEHs
At a lantern talk given recently
in this city, says the New York Post,
Rev. Pitt Dillingham;, principal OF the
Calhoun school and settlement in
Lowndes county, Ala, read a paper
Illustrating the remarkable growth
of a negro community which Calhoun
is building. He said:
Their are rs families in this
group, and five square miles of plan
tation country have been broken up
into 50-acre terms. The negroes have
paid $4,000 on the land during the
past six years. During the same time
$1,000 in taxes have been paid and
over $7O0 a year as tuition
Most important of AL, standards of
family life have gone up. Yet we are
told the negro will NOT work and
cannot save.
calhoun is a combination of farm
and home and school and church,
building a central neighborhood in
its W county, and stimulating the
growth of other neighborhoods where
these four things are being American
lied and taught to pull together.
M @arH E 0.G--
Good farms and homes within sound
of school and church bell make its
objective.
Calhoun is giving industrial edu-
cation to over 300 students, it reaches
about 500 more annually in the public
schools through its graduates and
students. In its country there are
$4,000 negro children of school age;
one in four goes to school. There
are 1000 white children; n in two
goes to school. Calhoun is working
on Hampton and Tnskegee lines. Its
peculiarity is that it combines school
and settlement work, like the Speyer
school recently established BY teach
ers' college of Columbia university.
Its county contains BLOOD negroes
and 300 whites by the last census.

Peddler Released.

James Watson, who was arrested in
Sioux Falls a short time ago on the
charge Of having peddled without Sc
curing a license, as required by the
new peddlers' license law. has secur-
ed his release through habeas corpus
proceedings. Watson was convicted
in the justice court. He appealed to
the state circuit court and was re-
leased by Judge Jones on a writ of
habeas corpus. While Judge Jones
did not specifically rule against the
new law it is claimed that his action
indicates that the law is invalid.

that state, but the planters have not
been able to produce a nut equal to the
far-famed Jordan, which is. preferred
to all others by confectioners by rea-
son of its beautiful shape. Many mil
lions of pounds of Jordan almonds are
now imported into the United States
annually, but the prospect is that in a
few years from now we shall be. in a
position to export them.
The government, says the New York
Herald, employs the services of half a
dozen agricultural explorers" as they
are called, whose business it is to ran
sack every corner of the world for
whatever seems desirable in the way of
new or valuable plants. The same man
who secured the Jordan almond, not
w~ithstanding the obstacles thrown in
his way by Spanish growers, sent over
not long ago bud wood" of some won
derful Persian walnuts, which are six
times the size of the ordinary ones and
deliciously favored. The wood has
been used for gratis on common wal
nut seedlings and already some thou
sands of the grated trees are on hand.
The growing of Persian, otherwise
known as English" walnuts, has be-
come an important industry in south
ern California the last few years, the
nnual crop amounting to more than
100000 pounds. When ripe the nuts
which are incloseda in a husk-are
gathered by Earring the trees, to shake
down those that are ready to fall, and
then they are dried in the sun or by
artificial heat, so that they may keep
well and not turn rancid. Once in bear-
ing, a plantation of Persian walnuts is
one of the best paying properties I'M
der the sun. The trees do as well as
far north as southern New York.
Experience has shown that pecan
trees grown from the big paper shelled
seeds cannot be relied upon to repro
duce their like. Hence, it is preferred
to send out grated seedlings, the ssbud
wood" being obtainedfrom the freak,
trees already mentioned. Such seed
aings may be counted on to yield huge
nuts, which, as soon as they come to
be grown in large quantities, are likely
to be the most priced Of all nuts in this
COuLtiJ even SURPRISING Inc FerS1an
walnut in popularity. Agrove of these
trees may easily give an annual profit
of $1,000 an ere to anybody who has
patience to wait ten years for them to
come into bearing.
The cultivated chestnut is expected
TO take care of itself from now on.
Nurserymen are growing superior
varieties Of the trees, improved BY
grating, and before very long the
nuts, of giant size and exquisite flavor.
will be on the market at a moderate
price. AS vet they are only for rich
folk. Use, by cross Fertilization, has
been made Of the European maroon,
which is as big as q horse ehesfnut. and
of the Japanese chestnut, which Is
nearly twice as large as the MARION,
the pollen of the foreign species being
employedto fertilize the blossoms Of
u natise chestnut. One of these cul-
tivated chestnut trees win yield d clear
profit d $40 to $50 per annum.

about the platform.
Her position as a station agent is
unique, and interest in her work be-
comes personal when it is known that
she is only 90 years old, and a widow.
who is working to support a toddling
baby of two.
I. the year that she has been agent
Mrs. ~Gumprecht has inaugurated a
new regime, and the villagers who for
merly found the station a convenient
loafing place, have been forced to seek
a haven elsewhere. Men inclined to
hang around are peremptorily ordered
off, and it has come to be pretty gen.
orally understood in the community
that the agent is to be obeyed. She
keeps a watchful eye out, too, for
children, and never allows them to play
about the station or the tracks. Her
own baby is kept safely at her home,
a mile distant.
Unlike many widows, Mrs. Gum
precht did not get her position by be-
coming the successor of her husband
in the place, but was led to apply for
it through the belief that she was com
petent, and the knowledge that the
male agent, disgruntled, was about to
depart. She is paid $50 a month fol-
her services.

Methodist School.

The Methodist educational conven-
ton, which has been in session at
Mitchell. came to a close with a lee
ture by Bishop McCabe on Libby pri-
son. The main feature of the work
accomplished was the completion Of
the fund for the finishing of Century
Memorial hall. Over $4,000 was rails
ed by popular subscriptions. This as
sures the complexion of the building
this fall and more money will be rails
ed for the equipment of the structure.

There is no drug or chemical known that influences the disease intthe5
least. Before pathology was as we'll understood as 1t is now cod
liver oil and like remedies were given to build up the tissues. With
the increased knowledge of pathology these medicines have disap1
peared from use. Not long since, creosote was held in high favor
because of its we'll known antisephc and germicide properties. This
drug was used in the Bronpton Chest hospital, in London, and fa-
vorable reports were given out IN regard to its use. A proportion
of incipient cases it would seem. to arrest, temporarily at least. The
difficulty is that enough cannot be taken into the system to destroy
all the bacilh. 1t soon troubles the digestion, and has other dis
agreeable effects, so that it has fallen into disfavor.
The consensus of medical opinion throughout The civilized world
is that those persons prone to take on the disease, or those who have
the inherited disposition, or already are affected and in the incipient
state, CAN BE CURED. But only by exercise in the open air, sun
light and nutritious food.
This treatment is curative, in that it strengthens the constitu-
ton. A strong, healthy body is necessary to fight the disease and
eliminate the germs.
