THE TRACK.

| 1t was felt with the ending of the
| Memphis meeting last month, which
was characterized by the sensational
| performances on the part of Major
Delmar and Dan Patch and others of
| the Grand Circuit followers, that the
| season for trotting sensations had end
ed. On Saturday. November 5, a re-
ception was rendered Major Delmar,
the victorious Smathers horse and
trotting king of 1904 on the New York
Speedway. Lou Dillon. the recently
dethroned queen of the trotting world,
evidently inspired by feeling of
pique at the honors bestowed upon
Major Delmar, and slnarting under the
decisive defeat administered her by
the Major in their meeting for the
Gold Challenge Cup at Memphis, prov
ed on Tuesday. November 8, that she
had been very much raisjudged and
that her 1903 speed is still in her pos
session, by circling the track of the
Memphis Trotting Associations course
in POI Ia thereby equalling the
worlds record established last month
by Major Delmar, for mile. without
the aid of pacemalzer in front and
without a wind shield. On November
II Lou Dillon, driven by Millard Sand
ers, went the Memphis mile in 2:01 Ca
new worlds record; not only did the
three official timers agree on those fig
ures, but fifteen other men, all COM
petent racetrack men, caught the
mares time the same. although spe-
cial representatives of E. E. Smath-
ers said they timed her one and one
fifth seconds slower. A heavy track
and pace that was a hindrance rather
than q help made the mile the great
est in the history of the light harness
world The first half mile Lou Dillon
went by herself reaching that post in
so ga, from that point a runner was
picked UP, but he broke away contin-
ually and Lou Dillon covered the
course virtually unpaced. Her frac-
tionai time for this most remarkable
mile was 80. :59 3-4 1870 and 2:O1.
The statement of the men who timed
the mare in 2:02 1-2, acting for the
owner of Major Delmar, has created a
trotting ensation. but inasmuch as
the official timers caught the mare at
2;O1, the new worlds record will I'm
doubtedly be allowed to stand.

BEHIND THE
FOOTL|GHTS
How Scores Of Children
Obey Miss Martins
Directions.

Scores of children held under re
straint merely by a movement of thu
hand. a smile or a quick word OF com
| rnand, tells the story of the promised
success of the House that Jack Built,
the pretty little operetta which is being
rehearsed almost day and night at The
| Opera House under the direction Of
Miss Martin That so many children
| can be held down SO that they seldom
whisper to one another shows the re
markable talent of the little woman who
showed her skill as a stage commandant
at the rehearsal last evening. Not only
did she direct the hundreds of children
on the stage, but with baton she direct
! ed the orchestra, and did it well.
For half an hour before the rehearsal
the stage and auditorium were buzzing
| with conversation and there was a con
slant shifting of children from seat to
seat. The stage was lighted, the or
chestra arranged itself and then Miss
Martin came forward to the footlights
with grace of movement which show
ed that she had rare gift of stage abili-
ty herself She blew blast on tin wills
tie and instantly every sound was hush
ed and from that moment no child felt
inclined to open his or her mouth ex-
cept to recite and sing the lines of the
operetta The blackbirds were called and
instantly a line of children filed upon
the stage and grouped in the wings,
and then other divisions were called and
silently they gathered.
The overture began. Miss Martin
stood upon chair in the orchestra pit
and directed the musicians in manner
to recall to mind even Souza the Great.
The slightest hitch in the music
brought everything to an abrupt stop
and it was BEGUN over again.
Then the curtain went up and at the
stroke on the baton across the foot
lights board the stage swarmed with
graceful children, singing prettily the
scores of the operetta, which smacks of
real opera music. The singing, dancing,
stage arrangements and groupings show
ed the hand of a master. Mother Goose
(Mrs. c. B. Cooper rehearsed a pleas
ing part attractively, ably supported by
the Knave of Hearts (Mana Widemafan)
One by one the familiar little per-
sonages of the Mother Goose
rhymes came upon the stage, in
by lifting music that fairly car
ried one along with its rhythmic swing
to the old, old rhymes of childhood
One thin" that is almost amazing is
the perfect abandon with which the chill
dren enter into the spirit of the operet-
ia. In spite of the very large audience
of mothers and friends present in the
there was no show of stage
fright Little misses cavorted gracefully |
behind, the footlights as if at play, and
the boys were not at all shy among their
little girl friends.
The operetta strongly resembles .'Jack |
and the Beanstalk," an opera which had |
a remarkable run at the Casino in New |
York eight years ago.
AS the operetta S given for the benefit |
of the Free Kindergarten Association, |
which is in need of funds, the patronage
should be liberal

The outlook for the horse industry
was never before more promising.
With the progress of national develop
ment has materially increased de-
mand for horses. So pronounced has
been the enlarged use Of horses for
the past five years that domestic con-
sumption has nearly exhausted the sup
ply. The surplus Is SO light that
prices have remained nominally sta
tionary, while other classes of live
stock have declined in value material
ly. All the modern industrial develop
ments of civilized nations we're made
possible by the use Of horses, and the
future demand promises to be Of in
creased proportions. Horses for gen.
eral utility use are Indispensable, and
as nations advance in wealth and af-
fuence the demand for horses is inten-
sifled. There are no substitutes to
eliminate the noble equine III his
sphere of usefulness in the progress OF
mankind. The equine fashion Of the
twentieth century will be repeated in
the succeeding cycle and the future Of
the industry is brilliant with encour-
aging promise. The breeder who raises
good horses Of any commercial class
is assured of stable and remunera-
tive market for his surplus and has ey-
cry encouragement TO intelliegntly ex-
ploit the ndustry.-Drover's Journal.

The time for planting is now here.
But it is not too late to do little
planning.
We suppose many have begun plant
ing corn. All the lower belt has fin
ished sowing oats. Corn planting will
be the order of the day for the next
few days and weeks.
The present high prices of cotton
make every farmer wish to grow q
large cotton crop. This is human ma
ture.
But we must not forget the teach
ings of experience. The safe and pru-
dent plan for the southern farmer is to
be sure to raise his supplies at home.
That means plant plenty of corn, hay
crops, potatoes and vegetables. 1t
means have plenty of pigs and calves,
chickens and milch cows. What will it
help to raise cotton if we must pay out
the money for something to live upon
and to feed our stock?
We urge every farmer to increase
the average in corn and food crops OF
all kinds. Then if you cotton turns
out we'll and the price remains up you
will have some surplus money.
Provisions of all kinds are now bring
ing high prices. The cost of living to
those who have to buy, is getting to
be a serious question. This means
money to those farmers who raise
these living suppliss.-Dixie Farmer.

Give more attention to the raising
of geese and ducks. S',ch fowls sell
readily and are in great demand, espe-
cially in states where the game law
prohibits the selling of wild fowls.

From every quarter we see COM
ments from the press, saying an enor-
nous cotton area will be planted this
year. and a 10000, ,000-bale crop is
freely predicted.
TO the farmer more than any Other
is due the ground work of the great
tide of prosperity which has carried
the country to the first position
amongst the nations of the world.
Cotton prices from now until fall
will fiuctuate wildly as speculation
gets more or less lively. but the gen.
eral trend is likely to be upward. all
the time, because of the scarcity of the
actual cotton.

The Wiser Py.n.

AS the time is here to plan for the
next crop, it is we'll for all farmers to
be reading and studying all agricul-
tural journals and exercising their own
fertile brains to be able to plan and
execute plans wisely. I fear the price
cotton has reached IN the last few
weeks, will be instrumental In a great
measure to our farmers adopting sui
cidal policy (that Of all cotton to tho
exclusion of all other crops). Now, of
all times as l see it, is for each and
every planter to think and act well his
part and keep a cool heal, and use his
mathematics right, make a living at
home. plant corn, peas, sorghum,
wheat, oats, peanuts, everything That
man and beast eats, raise hogs, live at
home; make cotton surplus crop Tor
in other words side issile). II we act
wisely ana do this the crop of cotton
will be large enough to extend the de-
mand and we will be sure of good
price. besides we will not need 50

DR.. Hartman's medical lectures are

One of the most timely and interesting
lectures he ever delivered was hisrecent
lecture on the loodimpurities ofspring.
The doctor said in substance thatevery
spring the blood is loaded with the
effete accumulations of winter, derang-
ing the digestion, producing sluggish
ness of the liver, overtaxing the kid
neys, interfering with the action of the
bowels and the proper circulation of the

fever, spring malaria, nervous exhaus-

cfal aid would be extended them. The
result was spirits Of turpentine went
up to IS cents the next spring. 1t has
been going up ever since. and the naval
operators have grown rich.
This ought to be an object lesson for
the farmers right at this time 1t
teaches that over-production will ruin
any business In the world. 1t applies
a. much or more to cotton than any
thing else. The farmers have had les
sions along this line In the years that
have gone by.
Many OF them were bankrupted, and
all suffered great pecuniary depres-
sion. They are just now recovering
from the effects of their own folly. II
the reports which reach us from all Sec
tions be true, they are preparing to re-
peat history. As Sam Jones would put
It, they are preparing to "act the fool"
again. Fifteen cents cotton is causing
them to lose their heads.
The farmer who plants large cot
ton crop and a small grain crop, and q
small grain crop always means small
meat crop, Is going to "hit the grit"
and hit it hard. There is but one safe
rule, raise an abundance of hog and
hominy and a moderate cotton crop.
Keep the cotton crop inside Of TO-
100000 bales, not over 10,5O0, 900 bales
at the outside. Do this, and they will
live at home and obtain fancy prices
for their cotton next fall.
Every individual farmer has a part
to play, namely, plant all the corn that
he can fertilize and cultivate we'll.
Save all the hay that grows on his
farm. Make potatoes and everything
else that will feed man or beast, and
be sure to keep his cotton crop within
the proper bounds. A blind man ought
to see it.-Cor. Southern Cultivator.
