 Stripes will undoubtedly remain in | fashion during the fall months. Some | of the early autumn suits are made of narrow and irregular stripes. which are the very newest.
 Mother-of- pearl cuff links are very much prettier to wear with summer shirt waists than gold plated ones or even sterling silver. They are quite inexpensive, and very smart pair can be bought for a dollar. Biscuit colored gloves with beige points. Is the latest thing for the Paris ian. The price of white gloves Is greatly reduced, which is evidence that their popularity is over. imported parasols seen are of shirred taffeta silk, Pompadour silks in tucked effects, duchess and Chantilly lace, and black and white combinations.

 Since taking treatment myself have met hundreds of others who also took treatment at your Sanatorium, and I can truly say that they one and all agree with me that the James Treat ment will give relief in each and every case where the physicians and man. agement can have the honest cooper alton of the patient. This Is not only true as regards the tobacco and whis- key habit, but is also true as to Drug Addictions of any and all kinds. I have met a great number of Drug Ha- bitues whose condition as reported by them was even worse than any whis- key man, but after taking treatment with you they one and all say that the treatment proved beneficial in every way to them.
 When I came to take treatment with you was then resident of Louisville, Miss, where believe I have as many friends and acquaintances as any man in that section. and I am sure they will all be glad to know of my reformation and greatly improved condition.
 Wishing you continued prosperity and good health, am, yours truly,

 PRICE OF HOME REMEDIES.
 For the benefit of those who cannot afford Sanatorium treatment a special ly prepared home treatment will be sent so that anyone unfortunately ad- dicted to the use of drugs can be cured within the privacy of their own home. Literature and free trial treatment for drug addictions can be had by writing to Chas. B. James. Lock Box 1000. Memphis, Tenn.
 The James Sanatorium also specially prepares a Home Treatment for Drunk enness, which can be given within the privacy of the patients own home, and only costs $12.50.
 The Cigarette Cigar. Pipe and Snuff Habits can be cured at home at a cost of only $500.
 Since it is possible to be cured of these addtctions at such a small ex- pense there Is no excuse for anyone be- ing a slave to drugs, whiskey or to- bacco, and bequeathing the curse of a drug, whiskey or tobacco wrecked sys- tenn to their children and to future gen. erations.

A CONTRAST IN THE SOUTH
Negro Farmer Could Not Afford To Be
  Governor.

You see I could not afford to be governorr'
 The man who said this Is not con- gressman nor a capitalist, nor man ufacturer, but humble, slave born negro farmer Calvin Brock, of Wayne county. He was talking to the gov ernor of North Carolina, whose sal ary is only S4000 annually, and whose clear profit is huntsville Calvin Brock had made the year before a clear profit of $2,723.61 on fifteen acres of strawberries alone, besides culti- vating fifty acres of land in other crops. The black Cincnnatus certain ly could not afford to leave his plough for the salary of the chief executive although he has never seen the inside of schoolhouse, and only learned to read and write by copying and coming scrawled alphabet which q country carpenter peneiled for him on new pine shingle!
 Another experience is that of white farmer in an adjoining county, who Ddlu p9UV lUI d ldllI Ol lillN -lnINO acres in 1S99--not quite $lO an acre. Its former owner had acted on the theory that he did not own anything except three inches of surface soil and with such cultivation it took four acres of the land to make a bale of cotton. But that policy by no means commended itself to the new owner. Thoroughly | tal I,o nf
 ton and deep ploughing, he astonished
 the soil itself by the energy of his re-
 forms. Hitching an 1,10O-pound mule to an ordinary plough, he found that
 it would not penetrate the brickyard Ithat lay beneath the few inches of eul- tivated upper crust. Then he hitched
 up two horses and they broke off his plough, whereupon he "cussed" and sent to Chattanooga for four-horse
 disk plough. By this time the "moss- backed" farmers who had never aver aged more than a quarter bale an acre had sworn that he would ruin his land forever with his new-fangled "book farming" ideas; but to no effect. q surely can't make money by your plans," he retorted, "and it can't be
 any worse to try the book farming ideas, as you call them. And as for lruining the land, it's my own, reck- on, and I will plough clean down half way to China if want to- Of course the man ought to have deepened his seed bed gradually, instead of bringing 1so much subsoil to the surface at once but liberal disk narrowing largely over came his errors here, and the heavy Icowpea crop and the barnyard manure Idid the rest. The next year indicated the lands upward trend; and by prop
 Ter rotation and cultivation he brought it up until, in 1905 part of it made two
 bales of cotton an acre, and this year,
 following corn last year, he hopes for
 a two-bale average on the entire field, To-day he wouldn't sell his $941 land
 of 1899 for $10O an acre, and why
 should he, since even at that figure the
 buyer could pay for 1t with the first Iyear's cotton crop? His example is but one of thousands that might be cited,
 and that have proved as contagious as 1 measles.-World' Work for June.
