At Night.

The house was packed to the doors
long before the services began. Mr..
Will d. Upshaw, editor of the Golden
Age, was present and spoke a few
minutes to the congregation before
DR.. Broughton began his sermon.
Mr.. UpShaw held a gracious meeting
here two years ago and all the peo-
pie were glad to see and hear him
He spoke tenderly of the movement
just launched and pledged his hearty
support to the movement, with the
Golden Age open to it.
Following Mr.. Upshaw, Miss Gloer
sang, and then DR.. Broughton spoke
on: Sowing and Reaping" 1t was
a powerful message. The power of
God was upon the man, and for over
an hour he spoke out of the tender
ness of his heart to the great congre-
CATION. He had three main divisions,
all of which were striking for their
simplicity.
1. Men who SOW seed expect to
reap.
2. Men who SOW seed expect to
reap more than they SOW.
3. Men who SOW seed may ex-
pect to reap the same kind of seed
sown.
Five united with the church at
the close of the service.

THE GREAT LIVE OAK BAPTIST
MEETING CLOSED LAST NIGHT

One of the most far-reaching meet
ings ever held in the Baptist church
was the one held yesterday after
noon at four o'clock. Brother Ridley
had announced that he wanted the
people to come and let him tell them
of a dream he had, and it proved a
veritable dream. He began by say
ing that if his dream were ever real
lied, it would cost the congregation
several thousand dollars. He then
went on to give the dream. Said he:
1T has panied my heart to see the
people turned away from this church
people who really came to hear
the gospel. l want this building
made over so that we can seat twelve
or fifteen hundred people, and I'll
tell you how it can be done. l have
figured it all, out reduced my dream
to paper land show you the floor
plan as | have it in my mind. We
will remove all the Sunday-School
rooms from our present building, and
make it one large auditorium seat
ing eight hundred people. Then we
will erect a Sunday-school depart
ment on the west side of the church,
57x4O feet, which will consist in
class rooms, large lecture rooms,
baraca hall, ETC., with a seating cap
acity of 400. This addition will be
so arranged as to be thrown into the
main auditorium when needed, which
with a gallery will give us the most
up-to-date auditorium in the entire
State"
Mr.. Ridley went on to say that the
time had come when the town could
not have any big thing religiously for
lack of room-no big place to have
it. He said he had told Dr. Brough-
ton of his dream and that he stood
ready to assist in the project In any
way he could. Said he wanted
Bible Conference, like DR.. Brough-
ton had in Atlanta, each year, and
that the doctor was perfectly willing
to cooperate with him to that end.
Following these remarks d.
Broughton made a talk OF some

NEW RED CLOVER is FOUND.
Product of the Black Soil of Russia
to Be Introduced.

Washington. bureau of plant
industry has been experimenting with
new form of red clover which came
from the black soil region of Russia.
The plant is practically hairless and
therefore does not hold dust like the
common red clover.
For this reason it is believed that it
will make a better forage plant for
horses, since it will be much less like
ly cause heaves and will be cleaner
and more convenient to handle. Bloat-
ing in cattle is perhaps due in part
to the presence of hairs on common
clover. If this be true the trouble
would be obviated by feeding them
the new hairless Orel clover.
Another objection to the common
red clover is that it natures much
earlier than timothy, with which it is
usually sown. 1t Is. thus impossible
to harvest the mixture at a time when
the full value of both the clover and
timothy can be obtained.
The new Orel clover natures two
weeks later than the common red
kind or at the same time with the
timothy and at a season when the
farmers attention is not SO impera-
lively demanded for his corn and also
at a time when in the most of the
clover belt the weather is more favor
able for harvesting the crop without
injury by rain.

Would Unearth Garden of Eden.

Jackson, Miss.-Prof. Clinton Nc
Mickle, Kansas scientist and ar
chaeologist, is so confident that the
Garden of Eden was located in the
Yazoo valley of this state, that he
wants to organize stock company
for the purpose of making extensive
excavations on the farm of w. A.
Henry, planter, about seven miles
south of Yazoo City. He thinks he
can unearth the ruins of once-splen-
did city erected shortly after the expul-
sion of Adam and Eve from the gar
den. Prof. McMickle says he has con-
elusive evidence, based on the book
of Genesis and Greek and Egyptian
records that Yazoo county was the
birthplace Of man, and it will only
be necessary to dig the required
depth In order to find proof of his
belief.

EVOLUTION OF A POTATO.
Variety from Uruguay Cultivated Il
New Forms in France.

New Forms in France.
Paris.-During the last season re
markable progress has been made in
the cultivation of new species of po-
tato in the department of Vienne in
France. 1t originated in Uruguay and
is called the solanum commersoni.
Amid its new environment in France
and by dint of careful cultivation and
selection it has developed several
forms which promise to become fixed
and to possess much value as addi-
lions to the food resources of Eu-
rope. Among these forms, springing
from our parent specie, there are a
yellow variety, a white variety, a red
variety and a variety not specially
characterized by color, all of which
possess distinctive shapes and quail
tiles. A fact that particularly inter
ests botanists and cultivators is that
these varieties have evidently not yet
reached their final settled forms and
the experiments of M. Labergerie in
Vienna are closely watched because
1T is thought that they will throw
light upon the unsettled question of
the general origin of the potato.

Every year millions upon millions Of

villages and rural districts of the coun-
try to the golfers Of the mail order
houses In the cities. and go to the up
building OF enormous institutions in
the centers Of population. Naturally,
the sources from which the contribu-
tions are made suffer accordingly.
Figures ever tell better story than
words. Here are figures which tell
a story SO stupendous that its full sig
nfficance cannot be grasped in a mo-
ment. but the mere sight of which are
awe inspiring:
In the year 1905 two mail order
houses. located in Chicago. did bust
ness amounting in round numbers to-
100000. In the year 1904 these
same concerns did business OF about
100000. a gain of $4,000, 900 or
nearly 80 per cent. in single year be-
Ing thus exhibited.

THE Old World and Its Ways.'

This is the title of new and pro-
fusely illustrated book by Col. William
Jennings Bryan, recounting his noted
journey around the the earth and through
Europe, which was SO widely heralded
through the American press.
The book is an illustrated and de-
scriptive record of that entire journey,
which is so memorable in current his
tory. The journey embraced a period
of year, and covered practically all,
the nations of the earth.
Col. Bryan travelled with camera and
pencil, and not only describes, in bril-
liant phrase, what he saw, but further
illustrated his journey by photographs.
These photograph constitute a striking
pictorial presentation and lend especial,
interest to the book. They number 24O,
and they show in picture the world as
he saw it. They constitute just that,
many striking Object-Lessons of the
people of all countries in their cities,
towns and villages-in their home and
everyday occupations.
The book will interest every reader|

therefore,, the man who sends away
from his own community money which
he might have spent at home and per.
mitted fair profit to the home mer-
chant to be retained there for the
benefit Of the community, is injuring
his community, and thereby the PROS
poets for his own future prosperity.
In large number of instances he is
doing more than this. Unwittingly, or
unthinkingly, perhaps, he is violating
his own principles Of right and justice,
for, at the expense of his own com.
,munity, he is needlessly contributing
profits to the capitalistic combinations
which he continuously cries out are
menacing the country.
The mail order giants direct their
energies particularly toward the PEG.
pie OF the smaller towns and the agri-
cultural districts. In hundreds Of
thousands of the homes of these the
catalogue Of the mail order house is as
regularly received as the home paper.

very large portion OF eighty millions

In all sincerity we ask: Admitting.
purely for the sake of the argument.
that the farmer or the resident Of the
small community can save few dol.
lars on some of his purchases, or even
that he could do SO on all of them, can
he afford to continue to impoyerish
his own community, upon which his
own prosperity, the very value Of his
LAND depends?
II he will ask himself this question
and consider 1t soberly and fairly in
all OF its phases, including the many
which cannot be touched upon within
the limits of single article, we think
his answer must be that he cannot.

country has been sufficient to over.
