STRAWBERRY CULTURE.
CastIeberry Busy as Can Be with Prot
 itabIe Industry.

Brewton, April Is.-(special.) )--one of the busiest places in this section at present is the littIe town of Castle berry, twelve miles north of Brewton. the activity being caused by the open ing of tine strawberry season at that place. Ordinarily the population of the town is about 250, but at present 1t is nearer 5000, about two thousand berry pickers being there, besides com- mission men. spectators and prospect ars. The season is just opening now 1t being something like two weeks late this year, and 1t is thought by some that the crop will not be as large as at first expected. Four car loads were shipped out Monday ana from now on the shipping will continue uninter- rupted until the season closes.
 In the vicinity and adjacent to Cas- tleberry there are something like six hundred acres planted in straWber- ries, and new farms being opened up all the time. It Is estimated by those in a position to know that at least 125 car loads of berries will be shipp- ed out from there this season. The berries are packed in quart baskets, and then the crates are packed in re- frigerator cars. From $50 to 400 crates are put in a car This is not the only crop raised in this thriving community, as there is a large acreage planted to watermelons radishes, tomatoes, etc, but strawberries are the principal crop.
 At this season there are people there from all over the country, some com ing as far as Birmingham to pick ber- ries. The price paid is two cents per quart, and an average picker will gather from seventy-five to 125 quarts per day, while many go far beyond this amount. The growers experience some trouble in getting a sufficient number of pIckers at times, as most of them are negroes and do not care to work regularly, but 1t is expected that be- fore long good tenant houses will be put up and white families engaged to do the gathering and then this trouble will be done away with.

ALABAMA MEDICAL MEN
(continued from page Bight)

Dr. McLester changed his discourse to the chronic nephritis Tho fluids administered should be accommodated to the ability of the heart in the cases and should rarely exceed from two and a half to three quarts daily.
 Blood letting and vena-section were discussed as potent methods of treat ment of chronic nephritis.
 pr. P. G. Trent, Sr.. led in the dis- cussion of the papers read by Drs. Perry and McLester. He is a practi- tioner of thirty-eight years experi- ence. He Is a strong advocate of nier- curial treatment, using mild bi-chlo- ride in some cases. He bases his treatment on rigid dealing with the liver.
 chloroform is often prescribed by Dr. Trent.
 Dr. A. N. Steele of Annist6n par ticipated in the discussion, saying cn early diagnosis of nephritis Is an inn portant need today, especially in chill dren. He dwelt upon the albumen and casts as symptoms of the disease
 Dr. Williamson concluded the dis cussion.
 pr. Warner of New York.
 Dr. L. H. Warner of New York, be- gan at 10 o'clock his lecture on "Prlc- tical Haemotology," whose length was cut down on account of impairment in the electrical machinery for the ster- eopticon feature.
 Dr. Warner in introducing his lcc- ture paid a tribute to Dr. John A. Wyeth of New York, President of the American Medical Association in his famous expressions on the importance of blood examination.
 The lecture was illustrated by ster- eopticon views of blood examinations in the laboratory of the lecturer in New York.
 There was an extensive discussion of blood corpuseles, red and white. in va rious diseases.
 The lecturer told his hearers that a great mistake commonly made by her matology is the confusion of blood ex- animation results in anaemia and chlorosis.
 At the conclusion of pr. Warmers lecture the Association adjourned 10 meet again this morning.

 He was followed by W. M Blakey. who said that whether the City Couu- ciI saw fit or not to purchase the Bap- tist Church property. 1t seemed to him that they could adopt an ordinance compelling the wagons to congregate on Coosa Street in the rear of the Bap- tist Church or on Washington Street. thus driving the merchants catering to that class of trade to lower Court Street. Madison Avenue and Monroe Street.
 F. P. Chaffee. in speaking of the pa pers, said that he had so many appii- cations for information as to the ~li- mate and soil of Montgomery. in hls official capacity as Section Director of the Weather Bureau from embyro im- migrants that he had recently issued a leafiet containing all the facts. He endorsed the views of Mir. Davidson.
 Secretary Gilbert said that he saw no reason why the city did not sell its property on Madison Avenue devoted to stable and fire apparatus. pur- chase new property for that purpose and devote the residue of money to opening up Monroe Street from North Court Street to Commerce Street or purchasing the Baptist Square.
 It was finally moved and carried that committee of seven be appointed to do all in It's power to carry out the suggestions of MT. Davidson. The fol- lowing committee was announced: George A. Thomas. C. c. Zirkle. R- M Henderson, F. P. Glass, William Ber- ney. Horace Hood and W. N Cox

Moliere,a Last Moments.

There Is a pathetic account of Mo- Here's last appearance. says an ex- change which shows the supreme cour- age which sickness could not dissipate and which was a part of him till death. His health had long been failing and he had suffered for years with a dis tresslng cough. which rapidly became worse. On the day of the third pre- sentation of La Malade Imaginare," 1873, he was so i'll that his wife and friends entreated him not to perform. But he was deaf to their appeals. What can I do?" he said. There are forty workmen who have only their daily pay to live upon and they will lose that if I neglected to give them their bread for a single day" Though more than usually indisposed he went through his part with great difficulty. Once during the performance the com pany could not but see that he was convulsed, but he passed it off with a forced laugh. When it was over he left the stage, saying to his friends, The cold is killing me-" He was wrapped up warmly and hls chair man sent to convey him to his home. No sooner was he in bed than he was seiz- ed with violent fit of coughing which

Aside from the fact that 1t does not connect with Commerce Street. there Is, in my opinion, no good reason why Monroe Street should not be a good business street and I believe that 1t would develop rapidly if an opening into Commerce was made.
 Common sense enables a man to see things as they are and do things as they should be done; now what are we going to do about the conditions point ed out. talk about them or remove them?
 Uncle Ephraim' scores good point when he says. Dreamin' ob 'possum widout settin' de trap ain't goin' ter ketch breakfus'. which Is another way of stating the we'll established law that if results are to be achieved conditions must be created which naturally lead Nto results

THE SPIRIT OF EASTER.

Helen Keller, who says she sees with the eyes of her soul in her Spirit of Easter, says
 "Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endureth forever. Sing unto Him a new song, for He causeth the desert to put forth blossoms, and the valleys He covereth with greenness. Out of the night He bringeth day, and out of death life everlasting Of this day a new light is upon the mountains; for life and the resurrection are proclaimed forever.
 The bands of winter are broken In sunder, and the land is made soft with showers. Easter day bringeth the chill dren of men nearer to the source of all light; for on this day the Lord de- clareth .he permanence of His world, and maketh known the immortality of the soul. He hath revealed the life everlasting, and His goodness endureth forever.
 Easter is the promise of the Lord that all the best and noblest in man shall be renewed, even as growth and bloom and ripening shall not cease. The bars of winter are broken, and the iron bands of death are riven. The bird Is on the wing, and the flight of the soul shall know no weariness. The lilies lift their holy white grails, brimmed with the sunshine of Gods love. For has not the Lord manlfesteo HIS love in flowers and in the upspring of green things? They are sweet interpreters of large certainties. Each year the win ter cuts them down, and each spring they put forth again. Every spring is A new page in the book of revelation, wherein we read that life is an eternal genesis, and its end is not; for it en- dureth forever.
 Belief in eternal life compels us to believe in good deeds and honest thoughts. The good man tolls not for today, nor for tomorrow alone, but be- cause he knows that his labor shall survive long after his hand has fallen from the blow. The good man pours himself into the world and makes it new. He is among the blessed who win sight out of blindness. order out of chaos and life out of death. Since the first Easter morning the soul of man has shone with unwasting light; for then he looked into the radiant face of the risen Christ, and knew that Gods universe shapes itself not to de- struction, but to d yet more glorious genesis; yea, it endureth from everlast- ing to everlasting"
