William Jennings Bryan
at the Old yorlsl Center.
Where History is Being
Made.


The great Commoner, ono of the
two Americans most in the universal
eye, is making a tour which will be
memorable in interest an impor
lance. He has already visited Ha-
wall, Japan. Corea and China, and is
now in the Philip mes. His timer
airy will then include India, Pales-
tine, Egypt, and the various roun-
tries of Europe After crossing the
Atlantic and spending u brief time
at home, he viii make special trip
to Australia and New Zealand.
Feeling that his countrymen will
desire to learn his experiences and
impressions, and daring to tell the
truth as it appears to him, Mr..
Bryan has consented TO write series
OF letters covering the various pha-
SEES of his journey. These will not
be delayed until he. has bad time to
prune and polish, but will come fresh
from the scenes of his study. They
will be timely, vital documents, and
literary sensation. In order that.
his views may reach the people
promptly, it has been decided to per-
NIT simultaneous publication in the
leading newspapers of the United
States.
THE PIcAYUNE HAS BEEN SELECTED
THE MEDIUM FOR This TERRITORY.
Mr. Bryan S reputation insures
him opportunities for observation
given to few men. He knows what
the American people want to know,
and he knows, too how to look and
how to describe what he sees. There
! fore his letters will have a human
interest, a literary and news value
above similar messages from almost
any other writer, statesman or tray
eler.
The Philippine question, the future
Of Japan, the fate of China, the
mighty changes stirring in India, the
renewed sttention to Palestine, be-
cause of Zionism, the crisis confront
ing the Russian Empire, the modern
izing of Egypt, are topics all intelli-
gent readers are eager to have light
upon. All readers may not agree
with Mr.. Bryan, but all will appre-
ciate the chance to hear what he has
to say. They will have the foil series

What One Man Is Doinu,

The editor Of the Southern Cultiva-
tor, Atlanta, Ca, recently made tour,
and one Of the stops he made was at
Valdosta, Ga. He tells about 1t: Mr..
Hutchinson carried us out to see his
20-acre farm. He has IA acres In cot
ton that he Is counting on % bales
from, and II he does not get it, he
will not miss it very far. 1t was the
finest we have seen this season. The
other six acres were In corn, three in
early planting and three In young
corn, following a fine crop of oats.
This corn will make over 40 bushels
per acre. Mr.. Hutchinson has made
over 100 bushels per acre. He re-
allies you must make your land rich
and do good work, to make bountiful
crops either on large or small scale.
He will make money on his farm, q
fine return upon his investment, and
for his labor: and this is the kind of
farming we wish to see done in the
south.

SELECTING Seed Corn.

In the near future Georgia farm
ers should produce great portion OF
the corn and other food stuffs which
are now brought into the state. One
way to do this is by making each acre
planted yield more beautifully. The
farmers of Illinois and Iowa have in
creased their yield per acre by taking
their best varieties and selecting only
the best from this for seed purposes.
The experiment station of North Caro-
lima increased its yield of certain
variety from 80 to 40 per cent In three
or four years simply by seed selec-
ton. This increase at the North Caro-
lima station was brought about under
climatic and soil conditions similar to
those prevailing throughout greater
section of Georgia. This increase
had cash value of NOT less than
seven dollars per acre for the land In
the improved crop.
Home or locally grown seed corn
will have better results. There Is
room for a farmer in each locality to
raise and dispose of good seed corn
to his neighbor at nice profit.
Somebody will do this kind Of work
and get good pay for 1t. Will you
be that person. or do you prefer to
pay some of your neighbors a fancy
price for furnishing you that which
you can grow at home and at low
cost?-J. M. Johnson, University Of
Georgia, Athens.

INVENTOR OF THE STEAMBOAT
A Peep Into the Life and Achieve
ments of Robert Fulton.

Many people claim for Robert Full
ton the glory of steamboat invention,
but the fact is Fulton only gathered
up the wasted efforts made by inven-
tive men for the past half hundred
years" and, adding his own inventive
genius, made valuable use of them.
But all inventions, says the Cleve-
land Leader, have come to us through
long process of improvements, and the
last inventor who crowns the feeble
first efforts with success wins the
glory of the achievement for himself.
In 1865 Robert Fulton was born in
Pennsylvania. His father was an
Irishman-a tailor by trade-who emf
grated from the Emerald isle while
still in his teens to America, the new
world so full of promise. In course or
time he married young American
woman of English descent.
When Robert was only three years
of age his father died. AS soon as the
child was old enough he was sent to
the district school, where, it is said,
he was not considered a very apt
pupil, for instead of devoting his time
to his books, he busted himself in con-
structing ingenious little apparatus,
much to the annoyance of his teach
ers and the amusement of his COM
rades at books. AS the boy grew his
The Tupelo journal. (Tupelo, Miss.) 1876-1924, 1906-09-28

talent for art became pronounced, and
he developed considerable ability with
his pencil, achieving quite good deal
of success as an artist later in life.
He was undoubtedly a most ener-
getic and Industrious boy, for at the
age of q he had succeeded in saving
from his earnings enough money to
buy a little farm for his widowed
mother, which would insure her mod
est living.
Then did the young art enthusiast
satisfy his great desire. He went
abroad to study under the direction of
Benjamin West, who, like Fulton, was
a Pennsylvania, and who at that
time was enjoying a well-deserved
celebrity in Europe.
But Robert Fulton soon gave up the
study of art for that Of civil engineer.
1t was at about this time that the
young man conceived the idea that
steam could be used as motor for
the propelling of vessels.
To the Earl of Stanhope he wrote
in 1898, laying forth his plan. The
earFS answer is given below. valuable
for the fact that it proves the date
when Robert Fulton gave his atten-
ton to steam:
Sir: l have received yours of the
3Oth of September, in which you pro-
pose to communicate 70 me the prin-
ciples of an invention which you say
you have discovered respecting the
moving of ships by steam. l shall be
glad to receive the communication,
which you intend, as l have made the
principles of mechanics my particular
study"
In 1901 Fulton had brough. his sub
marine boat to state of perfection,
according to a report made by the
French government, which has not
since been equaled.

FARMER AND PLANTER
Low.cRADg corToNsEEp MEAL,
A Correspondent Says 1t is Almost
impossible to Get Coed Quality.

w. r. Cary, Writing from Moore
county, N. c., states a complaint that
is applicable to almost all sections OF
the south:
Il want to say word In regard to
the low-grade adulterated cottonseed
meal that we farmers are having to
accept or do without meal.
1T 1t an established fact that cot
tonseed meal is most profitable when
fed to cattle and the manure applied
to our lands. But the meal we now
get is SO adulterated with hulls. dirt,
etc., that our cattle refuse to eat it,
and If we use it at all we must apply
direct to the land: and at the present
hight price, that practice does not
pay. What is the matter? Only few
years ago it was easy to get good
meal almost anywhere. Now it can
hardly be found.
81 now have some meal for which
paid $50 per ton that is about half
hulls, dirt. etc. We prefer to buy our
meal and hulls separate and not pay
meal prices for hulls.
Now, we want to be reasonable
with all men. and want the blame to
rest where it belongs. II the greed
for gain is the reason the oil mills
make such Iow-grade adulterated stuff,
the blame is all theirs. If the demand
for cheap goods is increasing and is
the cause. then the blame rests in
part with the farmers. But we hardly
believe the demand for cheap goods is
increasing, for the farmer to-day Is in
better shape than ever before but
will admit that large per cent of our
class think "cottonseed meal is cot
tonseed meal" and don't realize that
there is as much difference in the
grade of actual value as there is be-
tween the high and the low grade flour
on our markets. The remedy we would
suggest is to require the mills to make
S1b per cent. the standard instead of
TX per cent, as it is now, and to al
low the mills to make as low grade as
71a per cent. to meet the demand for
low grade, If such demand exists.
I'VE want good high-grade meal
and are willing to pay what 1t is
worth; but we are not going to pay
high prices for a mixture of meal
hulls and dirt.
Now. brother farmers, if you feel
like speaking out in meeting" in re,
gard to this matter, let's hear from

firm, but these are shown, too, by the
coiffeur.
The arrangement of the mantilla,
which may be of white or black lace,
with the high comb is simple. One END
is dropped slightly over the top OF the
comb, and the rest of the filmy fabric,
which is in square shawl form, grace
fully wells the shoulders and back OF
the head.
The picturesque becomingness OF
this headdress is too taking to be en-
tirely ignored, and it will doubtless be
adopted by few women of indie
pendent spirit
The ways of putting the Spanish
comb into the couture are various.
With the mantilla it is placed square
ly at the top of the head back OF the
crown, or slightly to one side. With
other high coiffures, for a high dress
ing of the harris necessary with the
tall comb, it may be placed at the pack
of the couture, the square top barely
showing at the front.
Conservative people will choose
those only moderately high, and true
Spanish influences are shown in the
square tops, which, whether high or
low, the majority of the newest combs
display.
AS to the methods by which the
modish couture of the moment is
achieved, they all tend to give the
head a very enlarged appearance.
Frames made of wire the size of a
single hair, covered to suit the wear
er's glory, and still further disguised
with a covering of hair net, are en-
ployed to raise the front pompadour,
the side face puffs, and sometimes to
bank the final chignon.
The waved locks which cover these
at the front are artificially CLOSED to
dazzling brightness, and wherever
there is a vacant space in the back
waves the hairdresser tucks in a soft,
short curl, which it attached to a
brown, blonde or black hairpin.
The false pieces used to exc out
hair sufficient for these towering
structures are without number. Few
heads can be dressed without switch
of some degree of thickness for the
back, and sometimes the entire front,
whose lightly falling puff and side I'M
dulations look so divinely natural, are
made entirely by one of the wired
pieces called transformations.
