NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

Some tobacco growers are experience
ing the same trouble With their tobacco
seed this season as they are with seed
corn, in that portion of the seed re-
fuses to germinate. AS a result beds
sown with seed raised last year very
many OF them have but thin show of
plants, while those sown with older seed
are vastly better. Farmers are just be-
ginning to learn that the cold, unseason-
able weather last year was unfavorable
to the development of all seed plants. 1t
is believed that fully one-half of the
seed corn sowed in this locality refuses
to grow when planted in the fields re-
quiring a large amount of replanting.
These facts demonstrate how necessary
it is that tobacco growers especially
provide themselves with seed of known
fertility. It is too late after failure to
secure good stand of plants to re-sow
beds and get plants ready by the u.s.
ual transplanting season. The only
safety lies in thorough testing Of the
seed early in the spring and determine
to certainty that seed intended to be
used will germinate. Where there has
been 10 trouble with poor seed plants
are generally looking we'll and it is con-
fidently believed they will be forward
enough to be ready for transplanting as
soon as the fields can be prepared to re-
ceive them.

MOVING PICTURE MAN
Tries to Make Capital Out of
R00Sevelt'S Fidelity for
the Negro Race.

The Washington police are inves-
tig ating an incident which occurred
on the plaza OF the capitol recently In
which an attempt was made before a
moving picture machine, to imper-
senate President Roosevelt giving as
sistance to pretended negro In dis
tress. A moving picture machine had
been placed where it could command
the scene and a man made up as a
negro approached, and when directly
IN front of the statue ofGeorge Wash
ington he fell to the pavement. A
man who bore a striking resemb' ance
to the President was in a carriage
nearby and he, with the aid of a
negro coachman who wore a livery,
the counterpart of the White House
livery. tenderly lifted the pretended
n-gro to the fictitious Presidential car
riage. The man initiating the Pres
ident then tipped his hat, offered the
negro a cigar and ordered the carriage
to drive on. The incident was wit
MESSED by a number of people, includ.
ing two capitol police.
Special Officer Jones, of the capitol
! police. who witnessed the occurrence,
says he was standing in the entrance
of the senate wing OF the capitol when
he saw man with a large photo
graphic outfit set up his machine be-
side the Washington statue. 1.-TWO
carriages were near" said Jones "a
man got out OF an open carriage and
laid down on the asphalt and directly
In front OF the camera. He was a big
iat negro aud wore minstrel shoes and
regular minstrel outfit. Another
carriage drove up and from 1t slight-
ed man dressed like President
Roos Welt The latter helped the
PROSTATE negro into his carriage, Of
cred him cigar a I'D tipped his hat To
the negro and then the c-rriage was
driven off,"
Later Developments show that II
was Lew Dockst"der, the well.known
minstrel. who impersonated the Pres
ident.
