Complimentary to Tuskegee.

Booker T. Washington and his assistants
have reason TO be proud Of the statements
made in a report submitted by an expert
sent by the State government Of Alabama
10 investigate the financial and bOokkeep-
ing methods az Tuskegee- The state
makes an annual contribution 10 the sup
port Of the institution. and at the session
Of the legislature last winter bill passed
providing for an inquiry as 70 the uses
to which the money was put. The COM
petent accountant appointed by Gov
Conner 20 do the work has reported that the
business method Of TUskegee is "A model
OF perfection" He found the system Of
bookkeeping quite intricate. but effective
The man In charge Of the accounting is a
full-blooded negro. The expert who made
the investigation went out of his way to
say IN his report that the moral tone Of
the college is very healthy" and TO
commend the good order, industry, and
earnestness Of the pupils

Thoughtful people seem to be giving
more and more attention TO the frequently
offered suggestion that the title Of the
Secretary Of War be changed to the Sec
retary Of the Army" 1t is admitted on
all sides that such q change would be ex-
eeedingly sensible. but no very vigorous
effort to have It brought about has ever
been made. 1t Is pointed out that the
present title IS a misnomer, inasmuch as
many secretaries of war have had abso-
lutcly nothing 10 do with war. Further
more, It Is asked, why should there be
such a distinction between the Secretary
OF War, who Is merely at the head Of
the army establishment, and the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, who occupies a similar
position with reference 10 the forces at
sea? In any war in which the United
States is at all likely TO be involved in
the future. the navy probably would fig
ure just as prominently as the army. II
not more so. II is said 10 be not at ali
improbable that between now and the
time Congress convenes in December a
movement having the change IN the title
for its object Will De set on foot

IF the people OF Tennessee only had a
chance to vote for a United States sena-

beat any man who might run against
him for the place by $1,000 majority said
Mr. r F. Hunter, of Memphis. at the

Our people will be sOTTy till the end OF
time that they turned down this man. for
they now realize that in intellectual bril-
Hancy, in cIeaTness Of vision regarding
all the great questions Of government, in
rugged honesty, and genuine patriotism,
he has hardly a peer in all the land. But
a man Of his talents and character can
not be kept in obscurity. Mr. Carmack
is still young man, and as certain as he
lives his people will yet rectify the mis-
take they made, by putting him back in

All over the country the question of wrapping for cotton is being agi- tated. and not without some good re- suits.

IN THE NAME OF CHARITY.
Jack London's Story Carries Sting of
 Truth and Pathos.

Jack Londons famous definition of charity sharing bone with dog when you're as hungry as the dog recalls a story about charity" said a magazine editor. that heard Mr. Lon don tell at farewell dinner in New York before he sailed away on the Spark.
 Mr. London said two old men were smoking and drinking together after dinner.
 "The host rang the bell and an old woman appeared.
 Gonfound you, stupidt, said the host. Didn't l tell you I wanted the Scotch? Take this back, and bring what I asked for, you old fool!'
 '" Come. come, said the guest, after the old woman had hurried away in great fright. Come, come. my friend, don't you think you are rather too sharp with your old servant?'
 Oh. said the other. she's not a servant. She's only poor relation I'm keeping out of charity
 The guest looked relieved.
 That alters the case, of course he said. Washington Times.

Well. the dry weather and the green bug came along. and all the stalks the drouth got, and the green bug dug up the roots.

The green bug and bad weather were as bad this year as they ever were, but the people of the Panhandle do not know that anything has happened 10 them. There are now great fields of as fine alfalfa as ever grew, there are fields of great big eotton-yes. cotton in the Pandandle-there is milo maize. and the good Lord only knows what else. but these people actually don't know that the thing that happened 10 their wheat this year. and which they do nof notice at all happened a quarter Of century ago and depopulated the land and beg, gared the remaining feWa Boys. ii.

In the good old days all the farms in the same neighborhood were de. voted to the same crops and eHlti vated in the same way. some of them mere closely than some others. but pretty much the same in general That sort of thing has gone to the eternal limbo, with the adYaneements in all lines The farmer that is the real thing farmer, is a different sort Of man. He is rapidly becoming 8 specialist. Not in the way of an ex- elusive one crop man; oh, no; he has q variety of crops and from these he wisely selects those that will be sure in the aggregate to yield him the best sure returns. He knows that il will not do to depend on one crop. That plan is a loser all the time.

MACHINERY vs. HIRED HELP.

One problem that the farmers o. the West have been trying to solve during the last four years is whether machinery can be made 10 take the place of high priced and unsatisfac- tory labor and whether or not ma ehinery is the cheaper The old two. man crew of pitching hay either on the wagon or stack has given place to the hay loader and stacker. "5th work satisfactorily, either che doing more than any two men can possibly do The two row cultiyator has taken the place of one man in the corn field and the resulting work is just as sat isfactory. And so in all lines of farm work. If farmer is willing to in- vest q little his of money in machin- cry instead of labor he will get re- suits just the same. The tools do not have 10 be fed They do not have to have q bed made up each day and the washing that a hired man has in the weekly tub Is lacking entirely. All this is an expense much greater than We generally figure on. We are too apt to think that all the expense of a hired man is comprised in the s20 or s25 per month that We pay him, when If the truth was known s10 q month at least, should be added to that Ma ehinery seems to tighten the work of the women folks greatly, but on the other hand, the farmer lacks the help in doing the chores. This amounts to good deal in some cases and on some farms hired help.is a necessity.
