Hindu Epigrams.

Time wakes when others sleep;
Time no enc may escape; without rest
and with even pace Time strides over
all creatures.
Mans life is measured by a humid
red years; half of these are passed
IN sleep, half the remainder in child
hood and old age, and what are left
we fulfil amid disease, separations,
pain and servitude. How can a man
take pleasure in a life that resembles
the bubble on wave?
To love those who love you not, to
shun those who love you, to make an
enemy Of the stronghold is to be
fool
Not to begin an undertaking is
the first sign of wisdom, and the sec.
ond is to complete what has been
begun.
He who sits after eating gets a
PAIN he who sleeps after eating gets
comfort; he who walks after eating
gets health; he who runs after eating
runs to his death.
What a man desires and strives for,
that he always obtains, unless in
WEAKNESS he relaxes
For five years man shall treat his
son as a prince, for ten years as a
slave; but when a son reaches his
sixteenth year, then SHAH man treat
him as. a friend.
Under good fortune the heart OF
the great is as soft as a lotus bloom:
under i'll fortune, as hard as the noun
tain rock.
Everywhere good fortune attends
the man whose heart is content; is
not. the earth covered with leather
for one whose foot is in a shoe?-

Fertilizer for Wheat.

In some parts of the East farmers are
giving up wheat growing. Many of them
think it useless to try and compete with
the newer and richer soils of the West
Many argue that wheat growing is profta-
bic only on new and rich SOIL Mr.. G.. R.
Mckenzie, of Westheld. New Brunswick,
undertook to see if by the use of chemical
fertilizers on poor soil he could not COM
pete with Western grain fields.
de selected piece of dark loan, slight
ly gravelly soil which had had no fertilizer
for ten years. 1t had been IL grass, aud
farmers can readily understand its poor
condition for grain. In order to test the
soil. MIR. Mckenzie used nothing on one
part OF the field. On another part he used
Thomas Phosphate to supply phosphoric
acid and nitrate of soda to supply nitrogen
On another part he used the phosphate
and the nitrate and in addition, muriate
of potash. The object of this was to see
which element was the key to wheat
crop on that soil.
Potash gave the Weld. The answer was
clear, as the following figures show:

~ IDS muTlate OF FOCaSn
The natural soil gave only 10 bushels.
The phosphate and the nitrate brought
the yield to Is bushels, but when the
potash was added there was an increased
yield of l6 bushels per acre. 1t is evident
that this increase was directly due to the
potash, and when we compare the cost Of
the potash with the price received for 10
bushels of wheat we see that few other
farm investments could have paid so well.
Consider the price of wheat and straw on
an Eastern farm and it is plain that no
Western wheat field can compare acre for
acre with such yield as 40 bushels. The
main reason why some Eastern farmers
say that wheat will not pay is because they
use the wrong kind Of fertilizer. They
use smell of nitrogen. peck of phos-
phoric acid and a pinch of potash. No
wonder their yield is poor Mr.. McKen
zie's experiment. shows why. The wheat
crop demands potash. If the coil will not
supply it the fertilizer must do SO.

Great Religious Revivsl Now in
Progress in Tupelo.
Rev. Geo. c. Cafes the Noted Evangelist is Conducting
the Revival


With the coming Of Mr.. Gates
into our midst a revival wave,
such as has never before been in
the history of our town, has
visited Tupelo, and she has been
shaken frcrl center to circumfer-
ence by the mighty power of
God through his preaching. The
meeting has been ia progress a
little more than d week and there
have been hundreds of conver-
sions. Two meetings are held
daily at the tabernacle. and
prayer meeting is held on the
streets every afternoon. Every
body-the old and the young
are taking part in the meetings,
and an abundant harvest of
souls is the result. The work
done by the large company of
Christian workers, who came
here from distant towns and
cities and by the new converts
among our our own people, has
been far-reaching in its results,
and many have been led by them
to knowledge of the Savior.
Mr.. Gates puts belief and ac-
ceptance of Christ in a simple,
practical manner, just by repeat
ing the promises of God and
bringing the penitent to an ac-
acknowledgement of his sins, to
cab on the name of the Lord and
fall under the blood of Jesus. He
leaves it entirely with those who
will exercise their power of
choice, by making a1positive and
definite acceptance of Christ,
which is all that avails.
The good that has resulted
from the meeting cannot pc esti,
mated, and marks a nentecostal
day in the history x x Tupelo.
Many visitors from all over the
county and neighboring towns
have been in attendance and
there has been a spontaneous
outburst at every service.

to do so, they intimated that he

Verona, Miss, Aug. 6, 1907.
To My Friends and Voters of
Lee County:
Words fail me to express to
you that degree of sincere graft
tude and appreciation which l
feel for the kind and splendid
vote given me by you all on
August LIST, and this evidence Of
your friendship and confidence
in me will ever be remembered
and cherished as one of the hap
piest and proudest events of my
life.
So then, l promise you now,
my friends, that your confidence
in me will never be abused nor
will | ever give you reason at
any time as long as | my live to
regret your votes.
According to the unofficial re-
turns of various counties of my
District my vote shows in the
aggregate to be 21677, leading
my nearest opponent 6063 votes,
liking only 50 votes Of receiving
a majority over my two op-
ponents in the first primary,
however, it may be when the
official counts made at jackson
tomorrow my be nominated as
it is possible for inaccuracies to
have occurred in the first count.
In the event, however, that l
am not nominated / beg of you
my friends, to stand by me in the
Second as you did in the First
and | will be nominated in the
Second by a large majority.
Again thanking you, my
friends, for your generous sup
port in the First and in advance
for what you will doubtless do
for me in the Second Primary,
/ beg to remain,
Your cordial and appreciative

MIR. Bryan and the Issue.
(Richmond Tlmes-Dispatchl

(Richmond Times-Dispatch)
Replying in this weeks Com
moner to the charge that he has
backed down on government
ownership of railroads, Mr.. Bry-
an says:
I'm spite Of his (Mr. Bryan's)
very plain language, certain pa
pers have insisted upon misrep-
resenting his position. and have
persistently lodged the issue Of
regulation. Now that Mr.. Bry.
an has pointed out that there is
no disposition on the part of
those who believe in government
ownership to make it an issue in
1908, and that he does not think
it wise to inject the question in
to the campaign, these papers
insist that it is, and must be, an
issue anyway"
Mr.. Bryan reminds US of the
Western justice who said, when
certain case was on trial in his
court, that as the case was a
knotty one, the court would take
a week to consider, but would
ultimately decide in favor of the
plaintiff. If Mr.. Bryan and
many Democrats who follow
him believe that government
ownership offers the ultimate So
luton of the railroad problem,
then with him and them govern
ment ownership is an immediate
issue. How can he and they ad-
vocate the experiment of regula-
ton when they believe that it
will prove failure, and that
nothing short of government
ownership is not a present issue,
why did Mr.. Bryan spring it on
the country and on the party in
his New York speech?
The fact is. Mr.. Bryan is com
mitted to the principle Of gov
ernment ownership and he can
not break away from it. And if
he is nominated it will be an is
sue in the campaign of 1908 un-
less he should renounce it. There
is no escape.
