SOLDIERS HOME.
Sensation Has Been Provoked by the
Charge of Mismanagement
Against Mrs. Wallace.

Jackson, Miss-A lively sensation
has been provoked by a recent COM
munication published in a Yazoo City
paper from the pen of former in
mate of the Soldiers Home at Beau
volr bringing serious charges against
the management of the institution.
alleging improper treatment of the
veterans and declaring that Mrs. Wal
lace, the matron, entrusts a good por-
ton of work to others who do not
show the proper care of the old sol
diers
The article has been roundly de-
nounced as false by Hon. T. NJ Hen
ny. Of this city, secretary of the board
of directors, and who makes weekly
trips to the home for the purpose of
looking after its affairs. Resentment
is also indicated by the fact that
Superintendent Price has announced
his intention Of going to Yazoo City
and demanding the name of the au-
thor of the article, which was signed
with a nom de plume.
Among other assertions in the ar
ticIe that has started up a hornets
nest among the Confederate organi-
cations of the State was one to the
effect that Mrs. Wallace, the matron,
is Northern woman, and therefore
not in sympathy with the inmates.
This assertion is utterly false Mrs.
Wallace is a native of Lynchburs,
Va, and daughter of James B. Ley,
of that city, was married to William
who served in Capt. Lath
om's battery of the Baltimore Light
Artillery during the Civil War, and
for twenty years prior to accepting
the position of matron at Beauvoir
was a resident of Biloxi
The other charges made by the
author are declared to be
equally false and it seems to be an
attempt at undertaking where there
is nothing to rake.-News Special.

RUTH.

She stood breast high amid the corn
Clasped by the golden light of morn,
Like the sweetheart of the sun,
Who many a glowing kiss had won.
On her cheek an autumn flush
Deeply ripened; such a blush
In the midst of brown was born
Like red peoples grown with corn.
Round her eyes her tresses fell;
Which were blacklist none could tell
But long dashed yelled a light
That had else been all too bright
And her hat, with shady brim,
Made her tressy forehead dim;
Thus she stood amid the stocks,
Praising God with sweetest looks.
Sure" | said, "heaven did not mean
Where | reap thou should but CLEAN,
Lay thy sheaf adown, and come,
Share my harvest and my home

ed States supply. A few years ago
Africa was relied upon to produce
cotton enough to put our Southern
States entirely out of commission as
the purveyors OF cotton for the spin
ners of the world; but if turned out
that the African cotton was yellow
In color and inferior in quality, and
that hope had to be given up. But
Britain now has a new hope. 1t is
III the "Spence cotton tree" which ]
r. Spence, of Deese. India. has dis
covered" and which he is success
fully cultivatirg. This tree. according
to its assumed discoverer, produces
a fine, white, long-stap1ed, very stu
perior cotton. As the tree bears cot.
ton daily after being planted only
six months. and is perennial. and as
5000 trees may be planted to the
acre, it is claimed, that it will easily
produce 400 to 500 pounds of cotton
to the acre year.
If the Spence cotton tree will do
this, it may indeed put Our Southern
cotton fields out of commission, for
they have no such record as that The
strange thing about the matter Is,
however, that the Spence tree is no.
thing new at all. 1t is the common
arboreal cotton "nurma' or "deo"
which has been familiar in Indian for
centuries, which grows everywhere
around the temples, but which in all
ages has been employed only to make
Micks for the Hindoo temple lamps
If it possesses real practical value,
and is capable of replacing the her
baceous cotton which is grown for
textile purposes both in India ana
the United States, it is certainly
strange that the Eastern spinners did
not find it out centuries ago.
Texas, too, has cotton tree, which
it puts forward as possessing great
powers of resistance to the boil
weevil We believe this tree came
from Central America. Peru had a
cotton tree m the days of the Incas,
and has it still, but it will not grow
out of the tropics; neither will the
cotton tree of India. It is probable
that the Spence discovery is quite
illusory as far as the prospect of
supplanting American cotton of the
old-fashioned herbaceous kind is con-
cerned But if it should prove other
wise, if the Spence tree does all that
is claimed for tit will simply be
up to Luther Burbank to make our
Texas cotton tree yield 300 to 200
pounds to the acre, where the India
tree is said to be yielding 400 to 500.
The firm of Nature, Burbank &
CO., takes no bluff of this kind

One of the remarkable things about

Louisiana is the fact that cleared
land rents for S. per acre cash, and
can be bought for $3.50 to SIS per
acre. 1t costs from So to $40 an acre
to clear it. Other Improvements nee

its high rental value Other crops,
such as corn, small grains, grasses,
vegetables and fruits thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields four to six cuttings,
ton to the cutting, and brings $40
to $40 per ton.
In other sections of these States,
and in Texas as well, the rolling or
hill land is especially adapted to
stock raising and fruit growing.

VALUE OF STRAW.

The time has come all through the
country when the straw should be bet
ter utilized than it is. Nice bright oat
straw is an excellent coarse forage
winter ration for horses, whether at
work or not. Straw of any sort is the
best available raw material from
which to make plenty Of the most val
liable fertilizer to be had on the farm.
1t makes the best of mulching for
trees and berry bushes, and in our cold
northern winters the stock should all
have good bed of straw to sleep on.
Still, too many men leave it in the
fields where thrashed in an uncouth
pile for the rains to soak and spoil and
have to plow round the pile for two
years until it rots down, while some
burn It up as soon as the machine
leaves the field. This is one of the
common wastes of the farm.

Is to get the land into grass, and, while

IMPROVE THE OLD PLACE.

If you feel disconnected and would
like to try some other place or state for
a home, don't let go of what you have
until you feel sure you have found the
right thing. This selling out and tax
ing chances may make it necessary for
you to spend thousand dollars NOV
ing and then be obliged to come back
and buy the old place at considerable
advance in price. We have known this
thing to happen a good many times.
The truth is there is no best place. A
mans success and comfort in living
depend largely upon his ability to be
contented and to make the best of
what he has. The disconnected man is
far more likely to find the thing which
he Graves by an intelligent improve
ment of the land which he has and his
unused opportunities than he is by rae
ing all over kingdom come after it..

cannot be made more productive, more
