Electricity in !srlarton

The two thriving suburbs of Bessemer-
Brighton and Jonesboro-will probably en-
joy the use of electric lights in the near
future. The Birmingham Railway, Light
and Power company has begun prepara-
tions to install arc lights on the main
streets in Brighton and will endeavor to
have them put in at once.
The citizens viii also have the privilege
of using electricity in their homes in a
very short time. The action on the part
of the company is brought about by the
constant requests which have been made
at every meeting of the town council.
Jonesboros Board of Aldermen have
been untiring in their demands for the
commodity some of the residents having
already wired their houses, but no cur
rent has yet been supplied them. 1t is
believed that they will receive attention
as soon as the work in Brighton is fin
iS1ed.

COLUMBUS, MISS, TO

Columbus, Miss, November 29.-tSpe-
eial)-It is rumored that this city is to
have a new theatre. When the present
theatre was built. over eight years ago.
1t was thought that it would answer the
purpose for years and years to come.
This did not happen to be the case,
however, as Columbus has made rapid
strides in the way of theatrical things
and is now securing the best of the at
fractions coming south. The present man.
ayers Messrs. Patterson and Street, are
hustling young managers, and are Civ
ing the theatregoers here the very best
of attractions. 1t is found, though, that
the theatre is too small for the town
in every way. For some time past there
has been talk of a new theatre. but
now things are happening right, it seems
as If it viii not stop at talk and that
we will really have "a new theatre with
in the next two years, If not sooner

Building Railroads to Somerset For
eStS.

The Dcerfield Lumber Company has
n large force OF men at work building
the railroad from Mountain Mills in
that town into the virgin forests OF
Somerset, and next year the road will
be completed to length Of thirty
miles, with its northern terminal in
Manchester The road will run twenty
five miles through the primeval forest,
and although il will be built at an alti-
tude of over 300 feet, il will not have
difficult grades, there will be very lit
tie obstruction in the way Of rocks, and
only small amount of filling will be
necessary. The 100, 900 acres of timber
land which the railroad will tap is on a
great plateau, between the Green Mt.
range in Windham county on the east
and the range in Bennington county on
the west. Ii was a revelation 10 ex-
perienced lumbcrmen 10 find such an
extensive tract of timber land in south
ern Vermont. Ii is estimated that
there are 400, 900 feet of spruce
" logs" in these forests, beside a
smaller growth which could be used in
pulp. This spruce is the larg-
est and best 10 be found in New Eng
land, and the great quantity Of red
birch which could be used in many
lines is Of the quality
u the best birch found in Pennsylva-
MIA and Michigan.

To Open Tale Mine In Windham.

The Vermont Tale and Soapstone
Co., which has an Office in Springfield,
Mass. is expanding s2j, 900 in the plant
for its tale mine, which will be opened
within less than two months in the
town Of Windham. The plant will
have a capacity Of fifty tons day and
the product will be shipped by way of
South Londonderry over the West
River railroad 10 Brattleboro, and
thence 10 purchasers all over the coun-
try. The company has exposed to
view ore covering II acres, and borings
10 n depth of l40 feet failed to strike
bottom. II is believed the ore is at
least 200 feet deep. The supply is
practically inexhaustible. This ore
shows the same analysis AS the finest
French and Italian tale, and it is
claimed that in no other place in this
country has tale Of this quality been
discovered in quantities sufficient for
commercial purposes. Asbestos has
also been found near by, but not in
large quantities. There are other tale
deposits in Windham which may be
developed later.

DRY FARMING.
Explanation of the Principles of the
Campbell System.

What western people have become
accustomed to call the Campbell sys-
TEN Of dry farming" consists simply In
the exercise of intelligence, care, pa
tience and tlreless industry. 1t differs
In detail from the good farming meth
DDS practiced and taught at the various
agricultural experiment stations. but
the underlying principles are the same.
These principles are two In number:
First, to keep the surface OF the land
under cultivation loose and finely pull
verified. This forms soil mulch that
permits the rains and melting SHOWS to
percolate readily through to the COM
pacted soil beneath and that at the
same time prevents the moisture stored
In the ground from being brought to
the surface by capillary attraction, to
be absorbed by the hot, dry air. The
second is to keep the subsoil finely pull
verified and firmly compacted, increas-
Ing its water holding capacity and Its
capillary attraction and placing 1t In
the best possible physical condition for
the termination Of seed and the devel-
opment Of plant roots The dry farm
er thus stores water not In dams and
artificial reservoirs, but right where II
can be reached by the roots Of growing
crops.
Through these principles rainfall Of
twelve inches can be conserved so eff
fectiyely that It will produce better re-
suits than are usually expected Of an
annual precipitation of twenty four
inches in humid America. The discov-
erer and demonstration Of these prln-
ciples deserves 10 rank among the
greatest Of national benefactors. He
has not merely made two blades Of
grass grow where only one grew before,
but he has made It possible TO cover
with wheat and corn, alfalfa and ether \
useful crops tens OF thousands Of square
miles Of fertile land on which nothing
but sagebrush, cacti, Kansas sunflow-
ers and bunch grass are now found
