track around sharp curves is a
mystery. All the way down the
mountain I did not see the motor
man turn his head OF take his hand
from the break or his foot from Off
the c0g-wheel.
From Hadley we went to North
Hampton to Smith college-the
largest woman's College in America,
containing over 1000 students. 1t
was founded in 1871 through be-
quest of 1865, 900 given by Sophie
Smith. While there is more wealth
at Smith than at Holyoke. at the
latter the grounds are more beauti-
full.
From North Hampton we started
for the famous old Mount Tom.
Mount Holyoke used to divide the
honor with Tom, and some still con-
tend the view is more beautiful
from the former; but it is not so
easy Of ascent since the electric rail
way has been built a mile in length
from base to summit, almost
straight up with four-story noun
tam house on top, with dozen or
more stationary telescopes in the
third story. Why, HolyOke is not
in it! We spent two hours on the
top Of the mountain. When it is
clear you can see Hartford, forty
eight miles, Mount Monadnock,
Greylocks, Wachusette mountain
reservation, the arsenal at Spring
field, aud I've no idea how many
towns. I'll tell you more when l
see you.
At $50, we started for home,
(Westfeld, } going by Hamden ponds
where 1 fished when girl, but
which now is turned into summer
resort with innumerable cottages on
it's banks. At we reached home,
having travelled a distance of sixty
two miles, all by trolley and only
covering the samc ground twice In
one instance-that was going up
and down the mountain.
The next day / rested by studying
the Chaplin family geneology, copy
ing some facts which had never
been able to obtain. We are going
up to the old Washington elm where
will try to procure branch fol
the club. l must stop for Cousin
Nell looks as though she wants to
talk 10 me. Very Sincerely,

POISON KILLS WEEDS.
Illinois Central's Unique Method to
Destroy Obnoxious Plants.

The Illinois Central railroad is
testing unique weed destroyer.
The expense of cutting the weeds
on the wide expanse of right Of way
Of that system has led to expert
ments Of varions kinds, and the
latest consists in the spraying IN the
weeds with mixture of water and
chemicals, $50 gallons being re-
quired to kill the weeds along every
mile Of track.
The apparatus consists Of a car
containing two tanks, each hold
ing 1000 gallons of the fluid, The
mixture is forced by air pressure,
through eight perforated tubes,
which extend across the tracks
under the center car, The spray is
thrown ten to fifteen feet on each
side of the track and Is said TO be
sure death to all vegetation. The
solution can be applied at the rate
Of ten miles per hour. While one
tank is being emptied the operativel
are engaged in mixing chemicals
in the other, the water, which con-
stltutes the mayor part of the solu-
ton, being obtained a convenient
stations reached by the outfit.
Machines which operate long
scyUhts have never given satisfac-
ton owing to the slow speed re-
CURED and the varying cordition of
the right of way. If the spray idea
proves successful it Will levolu-
tionize this department.

Do Them Good.

rrhe man who pays his debts and
his taxes may be a blessing or a
curse to the community. e depends
on what else he does. II making
this statement i is to be understood
that by the word debt" is meant
the ordinary cash obligation which
a man incurs in the transaction OF
his business. There are men who
appear to believe that SO long as
thew are not indebted to their
neighbors for goods purchased, or
the municipality or the State for
the last tax levy, they have dis
charged their whole duty and
nothing more can be asked OF them.
But in reality a mans duty to his
neighbor is limited only by ms
mower to do his neighbor good ana
his duty to the community by his
ability to be of service to it. The
community in which the pre-
vailing statement IS What do l
GET out of it?o is one which does not
and can not prosper.

UNUSUAL MAY WEATHER
March Much More like the
Usual May
OLD CITIZENS NEVER SAW LIKE WEATHER
Forty Per Cent. of the Cotton Planted
Second Time-Farm Work Fully
Thirty Days Behind-Snails
Destroy Cotton and Corn.

The weather for this week and in
deed for the whole month Of May
has been very depressing on business
and unquestionably very DISASTROUS to
the farming interests of this section.
What is said of weather conditions
in this section not only applies to the
whole state but almost the entire
cotton belt. The month OF March
was more of a normal May month
than May has been. Fires have been
comfortable throughout the month.
The rainfall has been excessive, much
of the time completely stopping
work in the fields. Perhaps forty
per cent.of the cotton has been plant
ed the second time and probably ten
per cent of it the third time. All
farm work is fully thirty days be-
hind. The common, Shiny snail has
made himself pest to both the
young cotton and young corn plant,
destroying a great deal of it. At
present the outlook is but very
gloomy one for the farmers and
should present weather conditions
prevail during much OF the month Of
June, scarcely more than half crop
of either,corn or cotton can be expect
ed. Old Citizens do not recall that
similar spring weather ever prevailed
before during their experience.

The South's Liquid Fuel.

Until recently the bringing to light
of that other Subterranean fuel, pet
roleum, was confined in the South
principally to the lower Appalachian
field. West Virginia alone yielded
42,6SO,314 of the total Al, 726, 652
barrels of oil produced in the South
between 1887 and 1896. In that per-
iod the kentucky-TennesSee field
yielded but is, 467 barrels, and Texas,
where the presence Of oil had been
before 1861, had yielded only 1911
barrels. In 1901, however, following
the spectacular ':guSherS" Of Beau =
mont, the annual production OF Texas
rose from $50, 039 barrels to 4,393,-
65S barrels, and reached in 1905 2S,-
1876, 1S9 barrels. From this there was
a decline in 1905 to I2,6&9, 525 bar
rels. Meanwhile the search for oil.
thus spurred, had expanded in Arkan-
sas, Louisiana, Alabama and Indian
Territory, resulting in very large oil
developments in Louisiana and Indian
Territory. The total productions of
the South in the past 10 years has
been 264, ,S29,25 barrels, or more
than six times the production Of the
preceding decade. Manufacturers

sol, a gain Of O7S,27O,2O8, equal
to 48.4 per cent. The same figures
show that the value of factory pro-
ducts increased from 1929, ,31S,O
to 81, 1871, ,979, ,225, gain Of $548, 24O,-
866, or A per cent, in the South,
while in the rest of the country the
gain was from $40, ,375, 663 to
$13.O14, ,17O,762, or a gain of 27.9
per cent. AS in the figures showing
the gain in manufacturing capital and
products between 1880 and 1900 the
South made the largest percentage
of increace, SO in these figures show
ing the factory growth between 1900
and 1904 the South again shows a
very large percentage of gain in ad-
vance of the percentage for the
whole country. Calculating upon the
original basis of 1900 by the measure
of the advance shown in the five years,
it may be safely estimated that by
the end of 1906 the capital invested
in Southern manufacturers had in
creased at least to $1,000, 900, 900, and
the value of the products had ap-

selute certainty that this will occur,
and not only that, but he will lead
the ticket in the first. Judging from
the enthusiasm Which he is awaken
ing and the results he is obtaining, |
can sVfely say, that barring Bishop
Galloway, there is not another orator
in the State of Mississippi today who
is holding and entertaining a public
audience that can approach him. With
the facts before me, now venture the
prediction that before the time when
the first primary is held the Suprem-

Enthusiastically shown, that even the
overheated partiSanS Of the other cam
