1t is worth while remembering that
scab free potatoes and even that seed
which is given the formalin treatment
cannot be counted on to produce a
crop Of clean, smooth tubers if the soil
Itself is contaminated by growing q
previous crop Of scabby potatoes. One
of the sGabbiest lot OF potatoes we ever
saw came from clean piece Of newly
grubbed wood lot, on which no manure
or other litter had ever been thrown.
1t was evident that the soil had been
contaminated by scabby seed, while

have tended to promote development
Of the pest. Where piece Of land has
grown scabby potatoes 1t Is far bet

SomthIng for Parents to Think Over.

We often wonder why it is so
many young men can be seen loaf
ing upon our streets until a late
hour of night. Many from our
best homes. The fathers of the
young men, many of them at least
are numbered among our best citi-
zens. If their COW or their fav-
orite dog was away from home
after dark thay would be out on
search, Tut their own children
can roam the town all night with
apparently no effort being made
to find them. The boy seems to be
turned loose at a tender age to
wander at will into tie paths of
vice, and then we wonder where
all our tramps and worthless
specimens OF humanity come from.
1t is a vegetable fact that too
many of them come from seed
germinated III good homes and
then sown in a careless manner
upon our streets and back alleys.

A Monument for Young Estes.

Reidsville, Aug. 3.-Col. Upton
B. Gwym of this county, is very
much interested in the movement
to erect monument to the
memory Of young Theodore Estes
In an interview he said to the
Observers correspondent:
II see that the women of Nelson
county, Va, are intent on the con-
sumation of a noble act the erection
cf monument to the memory of
Thee dore Estes, who was slain by
Judge Loving, as testimonial of
their confidence in the innocence
of young Estes of the crime for
which he was shot. There could
he no more emphatic rebukes to a
hasty resort of the 'unwritten
law instlgater by crim1-
nally false statement, not only to
shed innocent blood, but, strange
to say, to shield at the same time
the life of murderer by such
perjured testimony. There is no
such record extant where women
have come to the rescue of a
mans reputation charged with
wro1ging one of their own sex
proving beyond doubt that Estes
reputation was purjured awa' by a
woman but it took the same sex
to vindicate his character and
wipe out the false impressions the
court record may transmit to
posterity.
"There is no sadder case than
this of Estes, with regard to the
'unwritten Ilaw' which when prop
erly justified by the undubitable
facts to give the provocation, no
man of honor would fail to take
advantage Of, but would stoy his
hand in case of doubt.
"It n ust be great consolation
to the raletives and friends of the
slaughtered young Estes to know
the name of Estes; yet out there
that he stands vindlcated by the
sex of his native country although
the courts recordsm give eviden-
CO to some spitaful career of a fu
ture gener ationto cast stigmo upon
in the cemetery will stand All
evidence of his vindication to
give the lie to and out last and
wipe out any such written record
the monument erected to his
memory by the noble women
amongst whom he was born and
raised. ."-Charlotte Observer.
