Dug Up Cotton and Cloth.

At Glendale, several days ago, a bale
of cotton, which was washed away dur
ing the June flood of 1908, was recovered
from the bed of Lawson's Fork. The
bale was covered with mud and slime
and TO all appearances was unfit for any
use The bale was rolled out on plat
form, where it was cut open with long
knives. After being opened the cotton
in the middle of the bale was in perfect
condition, snow white, aud as pretty as
newly ginned cotton. The cotton was
sold to the Spartanburg mattress factory
baleof manufactured cloth was also re-
covered from the stream. The bale of
cloth, like the cotton, was covered with
mud and the cloth on the outside was
rotten, but the cloth in the interior OF
the. bale WAS in good condition. Spar

Others to attend to the farmers own
business is as old as the hills and as
shameful as it is old. If the farming
class were weak in numbers, wealth
and their natural advantages, there
might be some excuse for farmers to
be everlastingly trucking around
after some other set of men to help
them. But what is the real status
of the wealth, natural gifts of the
farmers calling and his dormant
numerical power? Go to the statis-
tical record and you will see that the
farmers of our country not only out
number all others in his voting pow
ers, but he also has in his farming
business about four times the amount
of wealth that there is engaged in all
our manufacturing interests COM
bined.
1t always did make me hot in the
collar to see great giant at school
play pleading to the small boy to give
him room when his natural gifts were
of more power-properly used-than

But for the lack of proper training,
pluck and energy these giants are
likeShe farming class-for the lack
of training they do not know how to
use their natural gifts of power.

this rule, viz: Begin now by turn
ing under all the stubble and
growth, then harrow smooth and
then roll, or press, the soil down well
with smoothing board. If you are
to use stable manure this should
have been applied broadcast before
turning the land. If you are to use
asnpmercial fertilizers we have found
following application about right
on lands growing from about 1,20U
to 1900 pounds seed cotton per acre,
1914 acid phosphate, 600 pounds !;
cotton seed meal, 200 pounds; kainit,
100 pounds.
This fertilizer should be worked in
the land about the 10th of August
and cultivators or disc harrows run
over the land at least once in every
10 days, from time of breaking the
land until last of August, when the
land will be in thorough order and
in fine fix to receive the seed. Work
off rows about 20 inches wide, drill
the seed in the open trench and

Rev. M. M. Kinards Ph. D., pastor
of ST. Johns. Evangelical Lutheran
church, of this city, rendered his
resignation to the council and con-
gregation of his church at the morn
ing services yesterday.
DIR. Kinard has been called to be-
come pastor of a strong, Influential
church in Salisbury, N. @. This
church was organized more than 100
years ago-the first church of the
early Salisbury, and has not only
survived, but grown strong in mum.
bers and influence with the passing
years. This congregation is the CEN
ter of Lu,herapism in the county, as
Salisbury is center. There are
eighteen separate Lutheran paato.
rates in the county Of Rowan, with
one.half the population of the
county Lutheran. A number Of
those congregations are daughters Of
ST. JOHNS, the mother church in
Salisbury. This old congregation
has a fine property and equipment
DIR. kinard has been pastor of ST.
Johns Lutheran church here for
three aud half years. He came to
this city from Columbia, s. G., where
he began his first pastorate after or.
dination. He served his first church
sixteen years before coming to Knox.
vile. DIR. Kinard is native South
Carolinian.
In presenting his resignation yes.
terday he stated that there had not
been jar between his people and
himself from the first day he came to
the church to the present hour. A
congregational meeting was an.
nounced for the second Sunday in
July, to take final action on the pas.
JOrS reslgnatlon.
The announcement of DIR. Kinard's
resignation will, be received with
general regret in the church and
other circles of this city in which he
is known. DR.. Kinard has, during
his residence of almost four years in
Knoxville, made hundreds of friends
in all denominations. He is ar able
minister, a learned man and an elo-
quent and finished orator. His wide
popularity will cause him to be
greatly missed in this city. His pub
lie spiritedness and interest in the
general welfare of the community
have commended him to all people,
irrespective of religious affiliation.
He will no doubt enter into his work
in Salisbury with the same zeal that
has enabled him to attain SUCH dis
tinctive success in the local field.
1t is refreshing to both DR.. Kinard
and the members Of his congregation
to know that his resignation comes
as purely voluntary action upon bis
part, after having been persistently
urged by the Salisbury church and
officials of high station in his denomi-
nation, to go to the North Carolina
parish. He will leave the local
church with the blessings and bes,
wishes of every member of ST. Johns
who highly prize his ability and hit
great value to the church, and who
commend him for the faithful and
successful work he has done in
