claiborne Furnished the Tree.

One of the features of the Ma
tional Convention, U. D. c.,
which is in session at Houston,
Texas, this week, will be the plant
ing of tree by each division pres
ident in Sam Houston Park, in a
plot of ground to be known as
Confederate Park. The president
of Mississippi Division, Mrs. Lucy
Green Yerger, is a Claiborne coun-
ty lady by birth. She asked this
chapter to send a magnolia from
Claiborne county for this purpose.
Through the courtesy and CO.
operation of Veteran A. K. Shaifer
and Mr.. John Hubbard, the chap
ter was enabled to send a tree from
the battlefield. The tree sent grew
not more than fifty or sixty yards
from the place where Gen. Grant
ate breakfast on the morning oi
the battle, May Ist, 1868.
Being from such an historic spot,
this magnolia will be valuable
addition to the interesting collec-
ton. 1t will bear the proud name
of Mississippi.
The Claiborne county chaptel
feels proud of the honor Of furnish.
ing the tree for the division. Mrs
Jennie M. Berry had this mattel

Cemetery in GOOD Condition.

Notwithstanding the loss of sew
eral fine trees during the recent
storm, the grounds in the Protes-
tant cemetery now look better than
this place has looked in several
years.
Through the generosity of people
who have lived and are now living
in Port Gibson, an endowment
fund has been started, the income
from which is to be used in caring
for the cemetery; and while this
find is still $1,000 short of the en-
dowment, the board hopes to raise
$4,000. Still the income now
being received has enabled the as
sociation TO keep the grounds in
good condition all summer.
To Mr.. c. A. Gordon, the pres.
ident of the association, is due the
credit for the grounds being in
such good condition. For many
years past, even before the endow'
ment fund was started, he has al
ways gwen his services free in su'
perintending the work, and otter
using his own mules to the pony
mower free of charge.
1t is to be hoped that in the neal
future the entire $4,000 will b.
subscribed, assuring for all tim'
that this sacred place will be KEEP
lin perfect condition.

The jackson correspondent

The Jackson correspondent OF
the Picayune says:
"Rev. M. E. Melvin, former
pastor of Presbyterian Church at
Port Gibson, and now president OF
Chamberlain Hunt Academy, was
in the regular Y.M. c. A. lecture To-
day, his theme being "The Claims
Of Christ on Strong Manhood"
"The ability of this gifted young
man in the ministry as a forceful
speaker and his successful study Of
young manhood and its attributes
and possibilities enabled him not
only to impress his hearers, but to
entertain them, the attendance be-
ing the largest since the fall sea
son opened"
Commenting on the same thing,
the Jackson News says:
"Mr. Melvin IS one of the ablest
members of the Presbyterian clergy
in this state, and has also consid-
erable distinction as an educator.
He is an enthusiastic z. NC. A.
worker. and his Sunday address
will undoubtedly be OF exceptional
interest. I

The man who wins is the man who knows
The value Of pain and the worth Of woes
Who lesson learns from the man who
fails
And moral finds in his mournful ways.
Yes, he is the man who wins.
The man who wins is the man who stays
In the unsought paths and rocky ways.
And perhaps. who fingers now and then,
To help some failure to rise again,
All, he is the man who wins.
While the writer was at Stark
vile last summer he saw book
on "Tomato Growing" by John
W. Day of Crystal Springs. We
are won't to boast in Mississippi
that Mr.. Day is our champion to-
mato grower, but he is more, he is
the first diversified agriculturalist
in the state. The products of his
farm at Mississippi fairs is likened
to the store of a green grocer.
G. H. Afford, the district agent
of the United States Department
of Agriculture, will establish dem
onstration farms in the counties OF
Claiborne, Jefferson, Adams, Will
kinson and Warren. He has Sc
Ilected Cold Springs Plantation IN
Claiborne county as one of the
government demonstration farms.
w. B. Lundy of Holmes county,
the federal agent, proved by q

bushels of oats per acre, and per-
suaded the farmer to purchase
thrasher even after the oats were
bit by the frost of May and last.

gathered by actual observation and
a great deal has been learned from
the various bulletins sent out from
time to time.
Many thanks are due to the en-
terprising citizens who have given
prizes to stimulate the work of the
club and trust that from the brief
summary that 1 have given they
may feel that what they have given
has not been spent in vain. Aside
from the value of the prizes that
the boys have won, am sure they
have been repaid one hundred fold
for the effort they have put forth
during the year.
AS TO the work for next year, I will
say that we want to meet about the
latter part Of January in 1910 and
complete the organization so as to
begin work earlier than this year.
We want you to elect from your
number president and other of
icers. Also several meetings
should be held by the club during
the year at all of which you can
have lectures from prominent agri-
cu1turists.
I want to say that while you
did much during the year to be
proud of, yet we wish to eliminate
In the future and have done so pur-
posely in the past the hullabaloo
and brass band feature which some
time accompany such organiza-
tions, preferring to influence no
one by these methods. Those
who have joined the club during
the year have done SO without coer-
cion from any source and we are
glad to say that the club now num-
bers seventy. We would be glad
to have few additions next year,
but just as effective work can be
done even though there is no in
crease. From photographs and
more detailed records, we will be
better able next season to show
what we have done.
Last but not least let me say
that the interest manifested by par.
ents and teachers In the boys clut
has done much to stimulate The
work. Many parents have furnish
ed double teams and have given thI
boys time from other duties in or
der that they might do work ii
their patches.
1t is to be hoped that we ma,
ever keep in mind the fact that tn
young men and young women 0
today have different problems t
face, will meet with keener com
petion In their life work and there
fore must be better trained thai

to the end that these boys AM

Keep Your Labor.

must be kept here. We cannot
farm without labor. The value of
our land, town property, bank
stock, merchandise, and, in fact,
the value of everything will drop
to the bottom if our labor leaves.
The territory around Vicksburg
will be dead. Vicksburg will in a
large sense be dead city if the
labor is not kept in this territory.
Let us all unite in one great effort
to keep the labor.
l hear planters say, "This is my
last year with negroes and cotton" "
Such expressions generally give me
great pain. l know just what the
result will be. The large majority
of these planters have land better
suited to the growing of cotton
than to any other crop. They will
force their laborers to leave, quit
growing cotton tor two or three
years, many of their farms will
grow up, and then the scales will
fall from their eyes, and they will
long for their laborers to again
grow the greatest money crop in
the world. Let every planter think
once, twice, and then think seri-
ously again before he parts with
his laborers.
The planters who keep their la
borers and force them to grow ev-
erything necessary for tcme con-
sumption and to cultivate say six
or seven acres according to the
/ Governments instructions, will
grow more prosperous every year.
He will not grow as much cotton,
but it will not be necessary to send
two thirds of the money obtained
for cotton to other sections of the
country to pay for farm products.
Boil weevil or no.boll weevil. pros-
perity will be the rule in this terri
tory when we live off our own
products and grow cotton as sur
plus crop.
l meet planters every day who
are anxious to sell their planta-
tions. They tell me that they are
in debt and will never be able to
pay out. They say that the boil
weevil is here to destroy the cot
ton crop-their money crop They
are in the main mistaken. Cotton
is not now a money crop. It will
be in few years. The planters
will all 1--we at home and grow say
two-thirds as much cotton on one
half the land. The cotton money
will then pay debts instead of pay
ing for corn, bacon, lard, mules,
| hay, etc.
Therboll weevil means diversified
farming and stock raising. This
means fertile soil and good farm.
ing. Fertile land and good farm
ing means high priced land. The
boil weeviI will probably cause the
price OF land to drop and remain
down for two or three years, bnt
diversified agriculture and stock
raising will force the price up and
up until it sells for four or five
times its present market price
Let every planter freeze to his
land.
Let US keep cool. The Northern
farmers are getting rich farming,
They have no better lands than the
lands around Vicksburg. They
cannot grow cotton. They cannot
grow sugar cane, rice, cowpea:
and many other crops that we car
grow. We can grow any crop tha'
they can grow. Diversified farm
ing, stock raising, and the growing
of cotton as surplus crop will pu
us on the high road to genuine
prosperity in spite of the boil
weevil. 6. H. AFFORD.
