Sunday-school Rally Day at Plank
Chapel Church.
Communicated.

Communicated.
There was an all day service at Plank
Chapel Church on Sunday, October 4th.
which brought to mind eye olden dayes'
in the history of this, one of the oldest
Methodist churches in the State. The
present day custom was broken over in
this instance and it was an all day ser
vice with bOuntiful dinner in the mid
die
The Missionary Society OF the Sunday
school planned the Rally Day and all
pronounced it success Missionary spirit
ran high and reached even to the pockets
of men and women alike. for the basket
collection alone amounted to thirty-fve
dollars This is aside from a special
fund which the members of the Society
contributed in q very unique manner
Twenty or more of them picked co ton
one day for Mr.. Samuel Rogers, himself
an enthusiastic member. They picked out
nearly bale of cotton during the day
and had great frOlic at the same time.
Mr.. Moore, a photographer living in the
neighborhood, came over during the
afternoon and took several pictures of
the Jolly party. From these he made
very attractive post cards which were
sold as souvenirs of the cotton picnic
and OF the Rally Day occasion An
other neat little sum was raised in this
way from sale of pictures and post cards
to supplement the basket collection.
This merely by way of a hint to some
other struggling Missionaries
The morning program was rendered
by the primary and junior classes The
children reflected great credit upon them
selves and upon the Sunday school as
well by the manner in which they acquit-
ted themselves. All agreed that the
Babies Rally was the feature of the
morning. The mothers of the congrega-
ton were invited to bring their babies
within the church. while the primary class
| sung Suffer Little Children to Come
Unto Me- They were welcomed by one
of the juniors, a prayer was offered by
the pastor, and as they passed out a
Rally Day button was pinned on each
baby. 1t was a very impressive little
| service.
The afternoon program was planned
| and carried out by the young ladies of
the Sunday-school. They planned well
and executed their plans even better
The Missionary Exercise, based upon
Heber's great hymn. From Greenland
Icy Mountains rendered by eight young
ladies, was especially fine. The pastor,
| Rev. II. &. Stamey. closed the after
moons program with a short address.
Everyone seemed to enjoy and en- ter
| into the spirit of the day and much good
ought to result from it.

Racial Animosities.

Magazine for October.

Don Marquis, in Uncle Remus s-The Home
Magazine for October.
The trouble at Springfield furnish
es another example of the fact that
racial animosities are peculiar to no
particular states or sections in the
American Union, and that the law
less element among those people
whose fathers demanded the aboli
ton of negro slavery can be quite
as murderously unjust in their treat
ment of the black man as can the
lawless element among those who
once held the negro in bondage.
The presence of the negro in this
country, and his condition, is a nat
ural problem, and not a sectional
one. Criminality on his part is made
the excuse for mob lawlessness to an
extent that is called forth by the
criminal actions of no other race or
class. This is true both North and
South. Negro criminality is not to
be cured by white lawlessness; lynch
ings do not have any preventative
effect on tie crime for which they are
the usual punishment. Mob lawless
ness in all parts OF the country must
be ended before the white people of
both sections can strike upon a ma
tional policy, free from hypocrisy,
with regard to the negro.

Saving the Corn Crop.
Save Both Halves, the Corn and
the Stcver---Cut the Crop at
the Right Time, and Do Not
Let the Weather lnjure it
Later---The Practice of "Pull-
ing Fodder" Doesn't Pay.

Charles NJ. Scherrer in the Progressive
Farmer.
When corn is grown for the grain
it is best not to cut fodder till the
kernels have become well denied and
hard and the husks have become
partly dry.
The time OF cutting is much more
important than is generally supposed
From the time of the conditions
described, there is ordinarily a period
OF approximately ten to fourteen
DAYS in which the stover has high
feeding value and the production OF
grain per acre is not materially de-
creased by cutting | believe the
matter of cutting at the proper time
is so important, that some cut their
corn at the wrong time and do not
get paid for their trouble. When
cut during the period mentioned
above, stover has approximately the
same value as timothy hay and Is
worth as much per ton, provided the
stover isproperly cared for after cut
ting. II the cutting is delayed till
the grain is mature enough to husk
and crib, Orif the stOver is left stand
ing in small shocks in the field till
spring, the feeding value is scarcely
worth the expense of feeding it and
returning the stalks to the land.
Some OF our Southern friends easily
make the error OF trying to follow
the advice given in bulletins or as-
ricultural papers that are not suited
to Southern conditions, getting into
trouble and then saying that it does
not pay to raise corn. Such lltera-
tnre as that usually says for dry eli
mates each shock should contain
from fourteen to eighteen bills OF
stalks. That is on the suppostion
that there will be two or three stalks
in each hill, which is misleading since
Southern farmers do not usually
plant their corn that way. That
same class of literature commonly
SAYS in localities having wet.
rainy and warm autumns. it isneces-
sary to make shocks as small from
eight to ten hills square. In such
small shocks nearly all the stalks
are exposed and cure quickly. The
fodder should remain in such small
shocks only long enough for it to be-
come well cured. If allowed to re.
main in small shocks, rains will
leach from the fodder the soluble
and most palatable and nutritious
food elements. making the stover
dry, brittle, tasteless, of little feeding
value. So. as soon as the stalks are
cured, husk the corn and place the
stOver in large shocks. or the fodder
(stalks with the ears or them should
be hauled under shelter where it will be
kept dry. If the stalks and ears are
fed togeter iudiciously, it may not
paw to husk out all the corn.
Every reader who has not had ex
perience in feeding stOver is advised
to re-rerad to those parts of this
article that relate to the time OF cut
ting and to keeping the fodder in gooC
condition. Approximately one-hal
of the feeding value of the corn crop
is in the husks. leaves and stalks
that is outside of the ears. The
problem is how to manage that hal
so that it is not lost.
