THE GIRL WHO

New Play.
CURTAIN CALLS NUMEROUS
CLYDE Fitch's Play Not as Pleas
ing As Merely Mary
Ann

Miss Eleanor Robson closed her Rich
mond engagement last night at the Acad-
envy in her new play The Girl Who
Has Everything" before an audience that
represented the best in the social life
or Richmond.
10 say that Miss Robson won her way
into the hearts of all who saw her play,
Sylvia Lang, is to express very feebly the
enthusiasm that her acting aroused. and
the warm reception that her charming
personality demanded
That Sylvia Lang does not possess the
human interest that surrounds Merely
Mary Ann is undoubtedly true, and yet
such an assertion does not mean that
Sylvia is not charming-in lesser de-
gree of chariningness.
Merely Mary Anne wins its way
straight TO the heart. 1t has tho odor of
flowers, the fresh air of the open. the
simplicity of nature, while Mr.. r'itchs
play appeals more to the head and pic
lures the ugly events of the busy world.

SCIENTIFIC
FARMING
PAYS WELL IN THE DELTA
GOOD RESULTS
Following the Work Of ME-. Lea
Beatty, in Charge of the Delta
Experiment Station.

What scientific farming will dc
over crude and ancient methods was
fully demonstrated by Mr.. Lea Beatty
special representative of the Agricul-
tural Department of the Government
and who has directed and managed
the work of the Delta experiment
station in this county.
During the planting season Mr.
Beatty planted some cotton seed
known as the Triumph variety, on a
piece of land belonging toythe Goye1
Co. in this city This seed was fur
nished by the Government and ma
lures earlier than the common varie-
ties and thereby escapes the boil
weevel BY careful cultivation the
staple grew to be about rs inches
across, and the bolls are unusually
large The stalks are heavily fruited
having six or eight large bolls on the
main lower limbs. Carefully and
properly ginned I,48o pounds of this
seed cotton makes a bale of $40 lbs.
of lint, which makes it far more valu-
able than the ordinary cotton.
Mr.. Beatty also shows some ears
of corn planted from Government
seeds that would take first prize
premiums at most any agricultural
exhibition. If the planters Of the
Delta follow closely the work OF the
experiment station, this county will
soon produce as fine corn and as
abundantly as the fields of the North
west.
One planter who has followed
scientific farming this year is raising
three crops. On a piece of land he
first sewed oats, then planting corn,
and afterwards planted peas between
the rows Mr.. Beatty says this land
after such planting will produce a
better and larger crop next year
1t is all in knowing what crops to
plant, and the experiment station is
here to instruct and help our farmers
to make the best crops possible, and
it IS doing good work.

Stealing Bryan,s Ideas.

The extentt to which the Republi-
can President and his Party have
made og with the once flouted and
bitterly fought ideas of Mr.. Bryan is
nothing short of amazing. Who
could have thought, much less pre-
dicted this, j, those bitter days OF
1896, when the wealth of the nation
was being poured into the Republi-
can campaign chest to save the
country from the utterly wanton and
wicked ideas of this western Popu-
-list?' Even New England railroad
corporations were giving their $780,
900 to defeat Mr.. Bryan, let alone
the insurance companies, banks, and
all other corporate interests which
misused the funds committed to their
keeping, and have not yet been
brought to book for it. When this
golden flood of millions of dollars
was flowing into the hands of Mark
Hanna, the discredited democracy
was attempting to raise money for
the campaign by the pitiful expedien,
of dollar contributions. The great
captains of industry were no doubt
amused thereat-it was so small and
inadequate a resource. But see whal

Cotton Still King.

The cotton SplnnerS of Lancashire,
England, raised commission of ex-
perts to visit all the cotton-growing
lands of the world and investigate
the industry. Their report has been
made, and it is to the effect that the
United States must continue the
source of the main supply Egypt as
proving as much of disappointment
as India as cotton country, and it
is generally agreed that our Southern
States will lead in this important in
dustry for many years to come
IsK ing Cotton's scepter to be re-
stored to him? Forty years ago the
plant was cultivated for the fiber
only; but now cotton is become food
as well as raiment The oil extracted
from the seed is rapidly supplanting
larl in the kitchen, and it is even more
rapidly supplanting olive oil on the
table.
The meal is good for man as well
as beast, and at an exposition at At
lanta some time ago it was made into
ashcake, hoecake, pone, batter cake,
pie crust and poundcake, and all were
pronounced excellent. Mixed with
wheat flour or corn meal, the bread
or biscuit is all that can be desired.
Again. it is discovered that the cot
ton stalk, after it has yielded its lint
AMI its seed, is a very valuable raw

In addition, the biproduct is valuable

If farming were carried on at the
