Take the railroad knockers out
in the deep woods and bury 'em
in beautiful hole in the ground,
where the humming- bird huns,
and the bumble-bee buns, and
the straddle-bug it straddles
around To bury 'em deep on
the fat of their backs, where
the wood-chuck chucks and the
wild duck quacks. They're no
good to this world with their
moss-grown hides. so leave 'em
to lie where the doodle bug
abideS.
Last week we clipped from a

Adapt Fertilizers to Soils.

1t would be much better if the
users of commercial fertilizers
would get into the habit of adapt
ing the fertilizers to the soil in
stead of seeking a fertilizer that
is adapted to the crop grown.
The object in using a fertilizer
should be the building up of the
soil rather than growing a GER
tain crop, and fertilizer which
will balance up the plant food al
ready in the soil is an economical
fertilizer to use on any crop,
since the effects of its applica-
ton will show on any crop that
is adapted to the locality.
A farmer cannot afford to buy
all of the plant food that his crop
will use in it's growth. Then why
should he buy anything that his
soil will furnish to the crop in
sufficient quantities
True, some crops will take
more of certain element of
plant food than another will.
Some crops have the power of
getting more food from a soil
than others have.
It is better to remedy this by
adopting a judicious rotation of
crops in which legumes will come
in frequently. The legumes will
supply the nitrogen and help to
keep up the humus supply.
1t is fortunate for the farmer
that the fertilizer manufacturers
have adopted the plan of recon-
mending certain mixtures for
special crops and thus presume
to adapt the fertilizer to the crop
rather than to sell the goods on
their merits for the nitrogen
potash and phosphorus acid they
contain and leave the farmer te
select the goods best adapted tt
his soil and conditions.
The plan of adapting the fertil
izer to the soil would induce
more study on the subject of fer
tilizers and would lead to a more
intelligent use of fertilizers.
Too many farmers depend en-
tirely upon the manufacturers
of fertilizers to select the goods
for them. G.. j.

The back aches because the

The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Doan's Kid

It is the best proof, for it

Mrs. D. II. Henkle, formerly
of Wa-Keeney, Kansas, says:
For several weeks I suffered
from a lame back and a dull
throbbing pain in my kidneys. I
finally saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised and procured box at
Gibson's drug store. After TAX
ing a few doses, I began to feel
better and have not had back
ache since. A young lady who
was visiting me also received
great benefit from Doan's Kid

great pleasure in recommending
such an effective remedy"

SCHOOL CLOSES
Appropriate Exercises Mark the Closing Of our Most WOr-
 thp Institution.

Last Friday evening marked the closing exercises of the 190S-09 term of Carlisle High School, which has been one of the most successful ever taught in our little city The exercises were held in the Baptist church, and long before time to begin the house was packed, and about all the standing room was taken.
 There being no graduates from the school this year, very com ical and interesting play, entitled Just for Fun" was prepared and delivered. The different characters in the play delivered their parts splendidly, which showed that they had labored hard under good and wholesome instructions to prepare them selves for the occasion. The play was interspersed with beau tiful and appropriate solos, du- cites and quartettes, which added much interest to it.
 At the close of the play Prof. Jaynes made short talk, thank ing the parents and pupils for their assistance in making the school such a great success.
 ABOUT THE TEACHERS.
 There will be several changes iii the faculty of 1909-1O corps of teachers, but the prospects look very bright for a successful term of school in every way.
 It will be good news to the patrons and pupils alike to know that Prof. J. I. Jaynes is to remain with us. The school has greatly prospered under his su- perintendency, and we predict
The Carlisle independent., 1909-06-03

even greater success another year, as he will be more closely allied with the people and their interests, and can better serve them, which he is sure to do to the best of his ability. Prof. Jaynes left for his home in Rus sellville Tuesday of this week to visit home folks and friends, but will return to Carlisle in few weeks and enter upon his duties as salesman in local business house, which position he will hold until the next term of school begins.
 Miss Ruby Cook has been re- elected assistant principal great ly to the delight of her many friends and admirers, for she has executed her work to the satiS- faction of both parents and pupils, and it would be very diff cult indeed to find someone that could take her place.
 Mrs. Westfall, who taught the sixth grade room the past term, will not be. among the 1909-10 faculty. Her work was very satisfactory to the board, and she won many friends among the pupils and parents. She will be succeeded by Mrs. Lena BransfOrd of Lonoke, a very able and efficient teacher, who has had several years experience in her chosen profession.
 Miss Ella Walls will also be absent from the 1909-10 faculty, she having accepted a position in the Tomberlin high school. Miss Ella has taught in our school for several years, and her work has always been superb in every way She is making the change so she can be at home more, and not from any cause of displeas- ure with the school or people, and she has the best wishes of
The Carlisle independent., 1909-06-03

everybody in this section wher- ever she may go. Her successor has not been elected.
 Mrs. J. o. Smith, who taught the second and third grades the past year, is not an applicant. She was very popular with the students, and they rapidly ad. vanced under her care.
 Miss Maude Griffith will have charge of this room. She is a graduate of the school, fully qualified for the position, and shows a commendable spirit in the board in making the selection.
 Miss Olive Jessup, who has so efficiently presided over the pri- mary grades, was reelected to that position, and there will be great rejoicing among the little tots, as she is the idol of them all. Her work has been uni formly satisfactory to all.
 It is announced that Miss Roberta Pate is not an applicant for reelection as teacher of the Marson school, and up to this date no one has been elected to that position. She gave uniform satisfaction to all, and the pupils and patrons will regret exceed ingly to part with her.
 A number of applications have been received, and the two va cancies will be filled at the next meeting of the school board.

DIR. EVANS A
NOTED WOMAN
Distinguished COIOTed Woman
To Speak in Friends School
Gym Friday Night

Or. Matilda A. Evans, colored who
win lecture in Friends School gym
nasium tomorrow evening. has had
most interesting experience, and is
one of the foremost colored women
in the country. Under the title of
"A Negro Childs Resolve" 1.-THE
Southern Workman" of August, 1906,
on file in the public library, gives an
interesting sketch of her career.
DIR. Evans worked her way through
and graduated from the Schofeld
School. Aiken, S. c., twenty years ago.
Having an aptitude for nursing and
medicine. Miss Schoheld was instru-
mental in having her earn her way
through two years at Oberlin College
and four years at the Woman's Medi-
cal College in. Philadelphia. from
which she graduated. She then re-
turned TO the South that she might
work among her people there and help
so far as she could, in the educatioal
work of her race.
Her experiences have been varied
and thrilling. She was the first wo-
man physician In South Caroiina's S
capitol city, Columbia. Her splendid
womanhood and sterling character
soon won for her the esteem and re-
spect OF all the people. There was
then no hospital for either color IN
the city. The negroes are the labor
ing class of the South. and she soon
found a crying need for a suitable
place to care for the accident cases
incidental 10 labor, as well as proper
treatment for the usual diseases Of
mankind. Her big heart, fearless cour-
age and unbounded ambition prompt
ed her to open her own home for this
purpose, but it was at once made
quate. Soon she rented an old anti
bellum mansion and has maintained
a hospital there by her own labors
for eight years.
The best white doctors Of the city
are on her medical staff and operate
with her in her hospital. She has IN
connection a training school for
nurses. Her work has been far
reaching one for good. She has been
a missionary in the real spirit of the
word.
A full meeting is anticipated for to-
morrow evening TO hear DR.. Evans
tell Of her work. and to listen to the
exquisite plantation melodies sung 10y
q quartet from a colored university
of Columbia, who accompany her.
