Cotton Farmers Meeting in Lenoir.
To the Farmers and Business Men
of Lenoir County:

To the Farmers and Business Men
of Lenoir County:
I will be glad if the farmers and
business men of Lenoir County will
meet in Kinston Wednesday, March
18th, at II o'clock a. M. I hope if
there is a township in the county that
has not yet organized, they will take
steps at once to or@anize and hand
in their reports to the County Asso-
citation on the 18th. This is very
important, and I hope this will be
promptly attended to. The town
ships should elect a chairman, secre-
tarv and treasurer.
The object of this county meeting
is a very important one We want
to elect officers for the ensuing
year. and we have other matters to
come before the Association. and I
hope we can get the will of the peo-
ple in settling these affairs.
The Hon. Jas. A. Brown, of Chad
bourn. and Col. Jno. S. Cunningham,
of Person County, the State Presi-
dent of the Farmers and Business
Mems Association, have been invited,
and are expected to be with us for
the purpose of addressing the people
of the county on the cotton, tobacco
and trucking situation.
I most earnestly urge that the
farmers and business men all over
the county come out on this occasion
and let's see if we can't get closer to-
gether and give one whole day to our
interests. - X. l.. BLOW.

The Rice Situation in South Carolina

1t seems to be generally accepted
that there will be about so per cent
reduction in our rice acreage this
coming year, this state of affairs be-
ing brought about by the inability of
the small planters to hold their own
under present conditions. Only large
planters will therefore continue to
plant as formerly.
In few cases, truck is being plant
ted as an experimental crop on the
rice lands, but only in small way.
In the Georgetown section, no
substitute for rice can be found. as
the lands are low lying, and subject
to inundations from freshets.
Concerning market co editions
here, would say that there is q feel
ing of more confidence among the
dealers in clean rice and more dis
position to buy. Some round lots
have been brought, and better prices
rule, than in December, and the first
part of January.-H. G. Seeding, in
Rice Journal.

Thoughts for Farmers.
The Aldrich Plan.

For several years, Mr.. Aldrich, OF
Barnwell, S. O., has been success
fully raising corn and cotton on the
same land. He plants his whole crop
that way. He lays off rows four feet
wide and plants two in cotton and
two in corn. He makes great abun-
dance of corn, with some to spare
after feeding horses, cattle, hogs and
fowls literally. Peas planted be,
tween the hills of corn or sown at
laying-by time keep up the land and
make three to six bushels of peas to
the acre. He claims that he makes
as much cotton to the acre as the
average crop of all cotton in his
neighborhood. Two Spartanburg
farmers tried the plan last year and
they are so well pleased that they
will try it again. If the corn is
planted early it will mature before
the cotton has put on a full crop. If
he plants the same field the next year
he alternates the rows, planting cot
ton where the corn was.
Teach the Girls to Cook.
A few days aoo a club woman was
speaking of a certain family. She
said: "The girls know how to make
dainty little dishes of various sorts,
and then they serve them in a most
attractive way" With the many
breakfast foods and great variety of
cakes, crackers and waters for sale in
the grocery stores, there is danger of
cooking becoming one of the lost
arts. Old-time Southern house
keepers were noted for the excellent
cooking of substantials and the
dainty cakes, custards, waters and a
variety of desserts. Now they. send
to. the bakers or grocer's for their
mince pies, plum puddings, cakes and
bread. Let the girls be taught to
cook. 1t is quite an accomplishment
and will be helpful in their homes
when they have forgotten to play
the piano, or finch, or euchre.
Water on the Farm.
Sornc of the older readers of The
Progressive Farmer may remember a
time when water for domestic pur-
poses had to be brought from the
spring which was generally 200 to 800
yards from the house. Stock had to
be carried to the nearest branch cr
creek to be watered. Both people
and stock suffered for water at times.
A we'll in the yard saves much labor
and insures an abundant supply of
water. If a farmer has several head
of stock to water it will pay him in
one year to dig we'll in his horse
lot and get an old-fashioned trough
that will. hold so to Is gallons. That
will save much time. If the farmer
has two or three hundred acres. it
may be inconvenient to carry plow
animals some distance for water dur
ing the long hot days. A well dug
in a convenient place will save much
time and give water to stock when
needed. But better than wells, IS a
hydraulic ram, if a farmer has a
spring or clear branch near his house

Prayer as a Mental Healer.

An utterance which will be taken as
significant Of the trend of scientific
thought with respect to religion was made
az the recent annual meeting Of the Brit
lsh Medical association by DR.. T r.
Hyslop, head OF the Bethlehem ROYAL
hospital in London. To quote:
AS an alienist and one whose life has
been concerned with the sufferings OF the
mind l would state that OF all hygieuic
measures to counteract disturbed sleep.
depressed spirits and all the miserable
sequals OF distressed mind / would un-
doubtedly give the first place 10 the sim
pie habit Of prayer. Let there but
be a habit of nightly communion, not as
a mendicant or repeater OF words more
adapted 70 the tongue of a sage. but as
a humble individual who submerges or as
serts his individuality as an integral part
OF a greater whole. Such a habit does
more to clean the spirit and strengthen
the soul TO overcome mere incidental emo
tionalism than any other therapeutic
agent known to me-"
Commenting. upon this, the Outlook
says that DR.. Hyslop's competence to
speak In the name of science is unoues-
tionable and adds, What he afirms as
a discovery Of medical science Is Identical
with the immemorial faith of religion
that there Is place for prayer In the
very nature OF things"

IN OUR OWN STATE
Three Girls Died From Poisoning
at Burlington.

Seventeen Others Who Were Seriously
III Have Reoovered-Ate Bark or Root
Of Locust Tree
Twenty-one small girls, inmates of st.
Joseph's Roman Catholic orphanage in
Burlington, we're taken violently III one
night last week and three Of them died
The others recovered, although all were
In serious condition and IL was thought
for time that three of them would not
live.
The girls who were taken i'll remained
at the asylum during the evening, while
the remainder of the $50 children there
attended an entertainment. The ply
sicians were of the opinion that during
the absence of the nurses the girls at the
Institution obtained something poisonous.
of which all tasted. On Friday DIR. c. S.
Caverly of Rutland and DR.. II. D. Holton
OF Brattleboro, members of the state
board OF health, went to Burlington to
conduct an autopsy on the bodies of the
three victims
The body of Nellie Blair, T. had already
been taken to her home in Alburgh. The
stomachs of the two other girls were
taken to the state laboratory for ex-
animation. The autopsies were perform
ed by DIR. B. II. Stone, director OF the
laboratory, and DR.. c. H. Beacher OF the
stan of the medical department OF the
University of Vermont, in the presence
OF members of the state board Of health
and local physicians. 1t was evident that
the girls died from poisoning, but the
nature of the poison was not clear. Dr.
p. H. Mcmahon, attending physician at
the orphanage, believes that the three
girls died from the root or bark OF the
locust tree, which all the children who
were taken sick are known to have eaten.
Dr. Mcmahon said: 1.-THE symptoms in
each case bear out this supposltion and
the sickness was confined to a group of
children who were at play in the ward
OF the orphanage on Tuesday, the re-
mainder attending the entertainment at
the Strong theatre. Nellie Blair, aged T.
was taken Ill first and l thought It was
case of acute indigestion until the child
developed alarming symptoms and died
within a few hours, being unconscious
most of the time"
The other children, Louise Laporte and
Mary Palmer, about the same age died
in a few hours after becoming ill., Six
teen others who were made very i'll. three
of these critically, are now out Of danger
and will recover.
There is a group of locust trees in the
yard OF the orphanage, from which the
children ate the bark and root
