worth Of merchandise. She accounted for
S2lOO OF the proceeds, but failed 10 ac-
count for the other $500 She attempted
20 account for this amount by claiming
that larger portion OF II had been used
20 defray her regular household expenses.
Several hearings on the matter were
held before Referee In Bankruptcy Ches-
ter w. Barrows, who become convinced
that a part OF the assets. which belonged
10 creditors, was being concealed. He
ordered her 90 turn 5000 in either goods
or cash over 10 the trustee, Mendell w.
Crane. but an appeal was taken. An APP
peal was made 20 Judge Brown. who sus-
tained the order OF Referee Barrows.
The latest development I'm the proceed
ings is the decree handed down yesterday
by Judge Brown. ordering the turning
over OF either cash or merchandise, 20
the amount OF 5000 within ten days Under
penalty OF Imprisonment for contempt. II
the order IN not compiled with the bank
rupt will be committed 90 jail, where she
will be kept until she does as the court di-
rects.
Such a course has never before been re-
sorted 10 In this state and many do not
know the court II vested with such sum-
mary power, II has been exercised in
other jurisdictions at rare intervals, but

The newspaper ad. solicitor, to in

must be 4 student of human nature.
AS we are told that the proper study
of mankind is man, so the proper study
for the ad. solicitor is the business man
and his business methods. The knoW!-
edge necessary to successfully solicit
ads. is of such a character thai it is
only by those that possess the faculty
of studying Systematically the many
methods practiced in the operation of
commercial life that success IS at
tanned. The solicitor must not only
possess q thorough knowledge of cir
culation. rates, character and field OF
the particular paper which he repre-
sents, but also in like manner all other
newspapers issued i'll his immediate Vi
cinlty. sin the operation of business
it is found necessary to practice par
ticular methods in particular lines, and
the expert solicitor will pursue certain
methods that will prove successful in
certain lines. The method that will
produce good results in one case may
prove an utter failure in others; hence
the necessity of a general knowledge
of the character of the particular busi-
ness for which an advertisement is
solicited. The solicitor must be thor
oughly honest in all his business deal
ings He must possess and cherish
the good will of the people with whom
he comes in contact, value his honor
and reputation above all else, and by
his conduct prove himself worthy of
the confidence of business men.-Press

The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1905-03-03

The Southern farmer has had heavy
burdens to carry for number OF years,
and the situation, while much i'm
proved, needs to be carefully consid-
cred. There is a vast difference be-
tween bad farming, fairly good farm
ing and frst-rate farming.
No farmer ought to be satisfied with
anything less than tirst-rate farming.
Now, tirst-rate farming begins With
the soil. All soils are not alike. One
lacks one ingredient, on another. Some
soil is too wet, some not moist enough,
but within certain lines the condition
of the soil depends upon the man who
tills it.
If there is too much moisture it must
be drained and lime must be added.
Then there must be ploNinG that will
pulverize the soil, break up the clods,
release those imprisoned chemical
agents that work for the life of the
plant.
Starting with better drainage and
with better blowing, you come to the
crops. 1t is well recognized now that
certain crops enrich the soil through
the elements they draw from the at
mosphere. Glover was long recognized
as good fertilizer without knowing
just why. We know why now, and in
the South, especially, we know that the
cowpea is just as good, in many soils
better, and in the West we know that
alfalfa is the great regeneration of the
soil. There are many places i'll the
South where alfalfa can be used bene-
fcially, and it ought to be experiment
ed with much more frequently than it
has been.
Home and Farm, looking back over
a career OF twenty-five years, congrat-
ulates itself in that it has proclaimed
early and late, in season and out. the
value to the Southern farmer of the
Southern cowpea. A quarter of CEN
fury ago, Mr.. A. L. Ford, of South
Carolina, wrote a series of articles,
running through a number of years,
expounding the merits and setting
forth the value to Southern agriculture
of the Southern cowpea.
