Had First Chance.

The Hon. John c. Ray, prominent
citizen of Manchester, N. IT,, and pio-
neer hosiery manufacturer at the New
Hampshire industrial school, one fall
went squirrel hunting with his son,
Harry G. Ray. In the woods they sep
aratcd, and agreed to meet at Ger
tain place at night.
Squirrels were scarce, and late in
the afternoon the son bought dozen
Of young farmer he met, in order to
outdo his father. On melting his IA
ther he was pleased to note that the
elder man had only three small ones.
"Well, father" said Harry, "I
guess I beat you out this time. -
"Well, don't know" replied the
father. "I could have bought them
first if I'd been mind to."
He had met the farmer first.

Some Agricultural Notes.
Farm Notes.

Farm Notes.
Do you realize that sixty per cent.
of stand means forty per cent. of
extra work and extra expense in rails
ing a crop9
Cover every foot of your land. The
part left around the sides, etc, is
dead waste. If ten per cent. is thus
missed, that would be fair margin
of profit in any ordinary commercial
business.
DON'T sell your farm unless you ac-
tually know where you can buy to
better advantage. All farm lands are
going UP and what you expected to
buy at a low price may not be so low
when you come to make the trade.
"He knows his job" How often
we hear that assigned as the reason
for mans success. Do you know
yours9
Our folks expect us to guard. their
interests by getting in touch with
reputable advertisers and running the
advertisements Of such, and such only
as will give them ga square deal"
Now, we will do our part honestly
and fairly and we ask of our folks
that they always remember to men,
tion Farm News when answering All
advertisement. This will help lis and
will also help you.
Practically all farm operations can
be done more cheaply and better by
machinery than by hand. The man
who relies on hand work completes at
disadvantage, as the machine pro-
duet sets the cost Of production, and
in degree the selling price.
A traction company securing a
right-of-way between two Ohio cities
twenty-four miles apart, found but
two mortgages on all the farms
through which it passed in that dis
tance. Pretty good for thoroughly
settled farming country, isn't it9
Only one-third of the world IS popu-
lation use bread as a daily article Of
food. Fully one-half of the people of
the world subsist chiefly on rice. A
fine chance for missionary work by
American wheat growers.
Fertility, tillage and seed selection
the trinity Of crop success. Each
of these may be improved by the thor
ough farmer, and neither accomplish
es it's greatest usefulness without the
other two. ,....
The rule of selishness is hard to
break. Witness the extreme efforts
Of the capitalistic leaders in the Uni
ted States senate to defeat any and
every measure which threatens the
hold of their class upon the people.
'"Thcy say" you can't pass a law
which will keep man from drinking.
Agreed. Neither can you pass a law
which will keep men from commit
ting murder, but that is no sign that
licenses to commit murder should be
issued.
How is your live stock coming out
Of the winter? There is economy in
giving the animals bit of extra care
this spring so they will get favor
able start for the summer.

Introducing A Lecturer.

Carl Schurz in campaigning q doz-
Ell years ago, was making speeches in
the west and Eugene Field was de-
tailed by Chicago paper to accompa-
ny him. In small town in Michigan,
says the New York Sun, no one had
had been selected to introduce the
speaker. Schurz and Field walked up
on the platform, and were greeted
with a loud cheer. Schurz asked the
newspaper man to introduce him, and
Field, ambling to the front Of the
platform, said in very husky voice
"Ladies and shentlemens, T regred
dot haf such a sore throat dot can
not address dis evening. T am very
sorry alretty for dis disappointment.
Howefer, am more dan pleased to
tell you dot I haf with he my young
journalistic friendt, Mr.. Eugene
Field, of Chicago, und he will now
speak to you about steel rails"
When Field began this introduction
Schurz was puzzled, and when he con-
cluded it the speaker Of the evening
looked angry. Despite Mr.. Schurz' S
preliminary explanation that he real
ly was Mr.. Schurz, the people who
heard him on that occasion have been
divided i'll opinion as to whether the
speaker was Schurz or Field.

THE BLUE RIDGE
RAILROAD
Is THE DREAM OF HALF A CEN
TURY TO BE FULFILLED? y
Probable Meaning Of the Horseback
Ride Of President Spencer, Of the
Southern Railway System,
+ his Assistant and Chief
Engineer from Walhalla
To Bushnell, Tenn.
News and Courier.

Anderson, May 14.-A party Of
Southern railway officials are riding
horseback across the Blue Ridge
mountains from Walhalla to Bush
nell, Tennessee, following the survey
Of the old Blue Ridge road. Mr..
Samuel Spencer, president of the
Southern, reached Walhalla OH Satur-
day night He was accompanied by
Mr.. Fairfax Harrison, his assistant,
who is one Of the chief stockholders
Of the Blue Ridge railway, and by Mr..
Welles, the chief engineer of the
Southern, and Mr.. J. +. Hayes. The
party spent Saturday night at Wal
halla and left Oh horseback yesterday
morning for the long ride across the
mountains. They will go first to Clay
ton, Ga, and thence to Franklin, N.
c., and thence to Bushnell, Tenn,
where one of the lines of the South
ern will be reached. There the party
will abandon their horses and board
their special car for the return trip
to New York.
OF course, railroad officials seldom
take the public into their confidence,
but there is reason to believe that
the trip Of Prcsi dent Spencer and his
party has something to do with the
completion of the Blue Ridge road
from Walhalla over the mountains,
according to the survey and plans
made fifty years ago. The party is
following the old survey, visiting the
old tunnels and gradings above Wal
halla. When Col. A. B. Andrews,
president of the Blue Ridge road, and
the first vice president of the South
ern, was in Anderson last year he
told the Anderson people that he ex-
pected to live to see the Blue Ridge
road completed.
Col. Andrews frankly said that the
completion of the Blue Ridge road
was one of his cherished dreams, and
that he was doing all in his power to
hasten the realization Of his dream.

necessary to curtail production or in

cent. this year, which tho farmer will
be called upon to pay; and e..

pledges itself and every individual
member to strenuously advocate the
use Of cotton covering for every arti-
Gle for which it can possibly be used,
and further pledges ourselves to give
preference in buying to all articles
so covered, even should the price be
higher on that account. Also, that
our president be requested to have
this resolution published in all the
county papers, and to send copy to
the state president Of the cotton asso-
citation with the request that this
matter be taken up with each county

IA bill for divorce was filed in the chancery court of Bauderdale county yesterday, which has behind it story rivaling the exploits of the fashionable society of New York and Pittsburg. The petitioner Is Mrs. Lizzie Abernathy, who asks a divorce from Mack Abernathy. Three years ago Mrs. Abernathy left her hus- band at Elkmont, Limestone county, and came to Florence. where she soon after married R. l.. Lovelace.
 Later, on finding that he was husband No. 2, MT. Lovelace instituted divorce pro- ceedings In his wife's name against hus- band No. 1, but before the divorce was granted, decided to quit the game, and the proceedings were dropped. After the lapse of many months his affection for the erstwhile Mrs. Lovelace revived, and the petition filed today is the result.
 Meanwhile Abernathy has married again in Elkmont and Is living happily with Mrs. Abernathy No. 2.

FOUND HIM ALIVE.
Reporter Sent to Get Account of Deatl
 Is ChaqrIned

Phenix City, December SO-(SpeciaL)-A newspaper reporter for a Columbus daily paper had quite a queer experience in Phenix City a day or two ago.
 Hearing that a prominent citizen of the town was dead, and the news being cor reiterated by a relative of the gentleman, he went to his residence to get some facts for his paper.
 When he arrived he found to his utter astonishment that the citizen although quite ill., was alive, and he was placed in a rather embarrassing position. When he returned down town he told the mans knisman of the situation and that gentle man was greatly surprised, saying that one of the attending physicians was his informant. It seems that the physician and those at his bedside had concluded at one time that he was dead, but that he began to breathe again.
 The citizen is still living, and hopes are expressed for his recovery, although his condition is extremely serious.
