it there, where 1t was when Gov. Till
man began to remove his effects. That
he did not tell Gov. Tillman he had

Il. Hall, who being duly sworn, says:
That he is 4 resident of the city of
Camden, S. c., and was in the city of

Before me personally appears DR.. D..
S. Pope. who, being duly swCrn, says:
That he does not know Capt. j. a.
White, and can give no opinion as to
his mental condition; that in the atfi-
davit signed by him on the 18th day
Of February, 1903, before William FL
lott, Jr., notary public, he gave his
opinion as to the effect of paralysis,
but of course there are many eXcep-
tions to the rule, and it does not apply
in all cases: that nothing but a per-
sonal examination OF one so afflicted,
and knowledge of his condition before
the stroke of paralysis, could enable
him or any other physician to say
what the effect Of such a stroke would
be on his memoir or otherwise: that
in said affidavit the word ''apt': is used
whereas the word may is what de-
ponent meant to say. DIS. Pope.

RAW SILK CULTURE.

Governments Experiments in This
Line Highly Successful.
Uncle Sans experience in silk cul-
ture at the Agricultural Department this
season has proved an unqualified sue
cess. and there is ncw at the department
ready for reelng, fifty pounds Of the best
cocoons. 1t takes about four pounds OF
cocoons to make a pound Of raw silk, so
that your Uncle Sam is now the possess
or Of about twelve pounds of raw silk.
Each pound Of raw silk will produce
from FIVE to fifty yards of the silken
fabrics of commerce.
The Agricultural Department is en-
couragiug the raising of silk by every
possible means, and thousands of eggs
were sent out this spring to families
that took an interest in the matter. It
is essentially a family occupation and
is expected to spread rapidly in the
South. as n side line for the farmers
wife and children, such as poultry is
now. Returns from these eggs are com
ing in rapidly, and several hundred
pounds of cocoons have been received at
the department.
The department is not only teaching
the raising Of the worms in IA eninently
practical manner, but it Is also deter
mined to introduce the spinning Of silk
as an American industry. Should the at
tempt prove successful millions of dol
lars which are now annually sent to
France Tor the purchase of silk would
be spent here in America and would be
spent among the farmers, where it would
do the most good.

THE WORLDS DREAD BASKET.
Diversified Farming Is Developing
AIna .rnaA

Diversified Farming Is Developing
the Northwest.
Minnesota. North Dakota and South
Dakota will yield about 200,000,000
bushels of wheat this year, which, at
present prices will bring a very respec-
table income for the farmers of the three
States. Add to this a barley crop of
65,O00,0O0 bushels, a flax crop Of 35000,-
600 bushels and S0000,000 bushels of
oats, and you viii have the reason why
the three States named have been called
''the bread basket of the world"
The Dakotas and Minnesota are begin
ming to adopt diversified farming and
are no longer given up entirely TO the
raising of grain, 1t is only a question of
a few years when cattle, hogs and corn
will be an important industry. This con-
dition has been brought about by the inn
migration of the last few years. For ex-
ample, take the territorial line between
the Red river and Minot on the west,
distance of 200 miles; from the line of
the Great Northern Railroad to the boun-
Diary will average about sixty-five miles.
More than 100000 acres of land with
in that section has been recently home
steaded by new settlers from Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and
northern Missouri, who have brought
with them changes in methods of farm
ing. They have all been trained to the
habits and customs and the diversified
farming of the Middle States. They are
accustomed to having CATTLE sheep, hogs
and poultry on their farms, and believe
that the greatest profit is derived from
feeding grain to their stock Whenever
you see this you find prosperous com
munity
This tide of immigration has swept on
into Montana, Washington and Oregon
until at the present time most of the
homestead lands susceptible of cultiva-
ton from natural rainfall have been tax
en- up, and much of the other farming
lands have changed hands. The new
corners, having sold their homes and
farms in the older States at an advanc-
ed figure, are willing to buy out the old
settlers, who are willing 10 sell for prices
that a few years ago were thought inn
possible. This immigration has given
great impetus to Spokane and the coast
cities, which is indicated by the great
increase in population and in the building
of houses and business blocks.

TOO MUCH RAIN INJURIES CROPS.

Cold Weather Checks Maturity of Corn
Throughout United States.
The weather bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions is as follows:
In the Northern districts east of the
Rocky Mountains the week ended Aug.
81 was abnonnally cool, with excessive
rainfall, except for few limited areas.
In the Southern States and over the
southern portions of the central valleys
and middle Atlantic States the tempera-
ture averaged about the normal and was
generally favorable for the advancement
of crops, although portions of the south
Atlantic and east gulf districts suffered
flem excessive heat. Portions of the
south Atlantic and east gulf States and
of Tennessee, southern Missouri Arkan-
sas and western Texas are in need Of
rain, while heavy rains in the Missouri
valley and lake region have delayed work,
causing injury to grain in shock and
retarded the maturity of crops. Showers
in the north Pacific coast States have
been highly beneficial
Light frosts, causing no serious dam
age, were of general occurrence in the
middle and northern Rocky Mountain
OAolLiSNS aug ana -.
Over the northern portion of the north
ern belt cool, wet weather has been very
unfavorable for the Advancement of corn,
which is urgently in need of warm, dry
weather. More favorable conditions pre-
vailed over the southern portion of the
northern belt, where the crop has made
good progress. The outlook in the upper
Ohio valley, where corn has suffered Sc
riously from drouth has been greatly inn
proved by recent rains Cutting is in pro
gress in the southern portions of Kan
sas and Missouri.
The harvest of spring wheat is finish
ed, except in the northern Rocky Noun
tain States and on the north Pacific
coast, where rains have delayed its com
pletion. In the Dakotas, Nebraska, Min
nesota and Wisconsin stacking and
thrashins have been seriously interrupt
ed and considerable damage has been
caused by excessive moisture.
While there has been some improve
ment in the condition of cotton, mainly
il portions of the central districts, the
crop as whole has suffered deteriora-
ton, rust and shedding being very gen
eral throughout the belt. and premature
opening in some of the eastern districts,
where excessive heat proved unfayorable
Picking is general throughout the
southern districts of the cotton belt.
