Stole Honey and Bees.

A correspondent of The Dis
patch in the country writes that
recently Mrs. D. Webb Thomas
lost a lot of wild bees and honey
by theft. It seems that she dis
covered a bee tree on her property
and hired several people to hive
the bees and get tie honey. The
bees went to the gum all right
and about 20 pounds of honey was
lest IN a tree until a more conven-
lent season. Next morning when
the owner of the warn went to
see about it, the gum was gone as
we'll as what honey was left in the
tree. The correspondent closes
with "the crooked shall be made
straight and keep your eyes open
for you will hear tell of a new bee
swarm in the neighborhood be.

The Fight on tuberculosis.

Germany has 80 s%anatoria for
tuberculosis, which hold over 90
900. Through organized effective
methods, Germany has reduced
the death rate from consumption
by one-half throughout the ma
tlon. In the German Army, tu-
berculosis has diminished 42&
during the past 20 years (from
1870 per thousand to 1870 per
thousand of the effective force).
That consumption can be per.
manently cured is demonstrated
by some figures published by DR..

Only the Plain Truth,

The only difficulty about the
blind tiger is that the fools il
many of our towns and cities are
allowing the law to be administer
ed by mon who are at heart op.
posed to prohibition, and would
do anything to discredlt the law.
WheL we have officers in charge
from mayor down to the humblest
police officer who favor the en-
forcement of law, the blind tiger
will get out of the way as readily
as the moonshlner. In fact, with
all the advantages of city organi,
cation it ought to be easier to get
rid of the tiger. Let the people
see to it that the officers enforce
the law or get out.-North Caro-
lima Christian Advocate.

Estimate Of Cotton Acreage Of the United
States, May, 1909.

With a view of obtaining the
most reliable information possible
concerning the cotton acreage of
the United States for 1909, Lat.
ham, Alexander & Co., cotton
commission merchants, of New
York, addressed 5000 letters to
banks, bankers, cotton comm,s-
sion merchants aud responsible
planters, embracing every cotton
growing county in the South, ask
ing acreage estimates.
Up to June 1st, they had secur-
ed 1905 replies, of average date
May 25, and the following tabula.
ton is the result. They say: "In
our opinion it is as approximately
correct an estimate of the cotton
acreage as could be- secu9ed by di.
rect communication with parties
competent to judge, residing in
the Southern states.
"The total estimated decrease
of cotton acreage in the United
States for 1909 is 4 ia, or 1870.
985 acres less than last year, and
the average planting of the crop is
eight days later than last year.
."The normal tendency to in.
crease the cotton acreage from
year to year has been checked this
season by the determination to in.
crease the acreage in small grains,
due to the high prices prevailing
for all kinds of provisions. This
is less apparent in Texas where
the droughty conditions prevented
early planting of grain.
1.-The continued excessive rain.
fall in the central belt makes the
present out look gloomy for that
section and may cause some
abandonment of acreage.
1.-THE spread of the boil weevil
to the lower Mississippi Valley has
caused apprehension and curtail-
ment of cotton acreage in that
section."

A Truth Well Stated.

A whole volume of sound sense
is compressed into a few words by
President Finley, of the Southern
Railway, in his address to the
University of North Carolina.
Among other things he said:
In whatever career the young
man of the South may select, he
will find opportunities at home
among his own people. He will
not find it necessary to 60 to the
North or to the West, AS time
goes on he will find these oppor-
tunities in increasing abundance,
for the economic strength of the
South, already great, is constant
ly increasing.
The wealth of our section in
natural resources is being supple
mented by increased financial
strength, and Southern communi-
ties are becoming better able to
finance their own enterprises and
less dependent on outside capital
The South needs every one of
her young men, and those who
are faithful to her abe will bounti-
fully reward.
Great as has been the growth Of
the SoEth, that section is only at
the beginning of its career of de-
velopmeut. The South is not
overcrowded with population and
can for many years yet furnish
opportunities for all who earnest
ly seek them. Far-sighted fnan.
ciers, railroad men, and other
leaders of industry are almost
unanimous in predicting that the
greatest development of the next
two decades in this country will
occur IN the South
Post, June l., 1909.

umn another fruitlegs effort has
been made to capture John Jack
son, the negro who shot and killed
Officer Munroe. There being such
a great similarity in the counten-
ances of negroes that it is difficult
at times to identify them, even by
parties we'll acquainted, and this
difficulty, of course, is greater
where one is not known. This is
all to the negroes advantage and
makes it easy to elude the officers,
to say nothing of the assistance
generally rendered the criminal by
members of his race. This, there.
fore, often makes it necessary to
run down scores of negroes in all
parts of the country before cab
turing the right one, if then. The
consequence Of this condition is
Encouraging to officers who n
deavor so do their full duty, and.
another matter, which is also dis.
ceuraging, and to the criminal 8
advantage, where officers are dis
posed to shrink their duty, lies in
the fact that sheriffs are not al
lowed to collect the rewards that
are offered, but must provide the
funds for the numerous and costly
trips out of their private purses.
Why should a sheriff send, or 60,
after a man and bear the expenses
of such trip more than any other
good citizen? He is performing a
service for his county and the
public II general, and 1t would
ssem but just that some provision
be made to cover such cases. T,
give a sheriff a 50 fee for capturing
a criminal at an expense Of $25 to
$50 looks very unreasonable to us.
Sheriff Mckenzie at least de.
serves much credit for the persist
emit efforts he has made to capture
this negro Jackson. And while
we are at it, we want to c%ongratu-
late Rowan on account of it's
sheriff. If he stays in Office long.
and there is no doubt of this, Row.

law-abiding counties in the South.
Papers that or placed in his, or
his deputies, hands are never al
lowed to get cold. Something is

which was not only heavy but which
has the best of coaching and plays
against the Hebron first team about
every night, and has given them some
very hard tussles to win. Hebron has
out candidates enough this season to
make up four teams.
Paris on the other hand had hard work
to get out eleven men and necessarily
used some very young players. 1t is the

Pigeons Air Sacks.

The air sacks of the pigeon. says
Bruno Muller. constitute system of
interspaces the value Of which lies In
their emptiness-that is. absence of
weight and resistance. Flying is pos
sible only to a body Of high mechan-
iral efficiency. and We attain this with
machines divested of all superfiuous
material Just so the original reptiles.
which by evolution became birds. were
dvested of superfluous material. and
the body spaces thus obtained were
iiled with air sacks. The body wall.
adapting itself 10 the mechanical re
'luiremenis. became hollow cylinder
serving as Il support for the organs Of
movement. the mobility of whose parts
was assured by the surrounding air
sacks. Tbe air cavities In the bones Of

Aporeciating What We Have.


Will the farmers of this state ever
come to appreciate their own posses.
sions? Thousands and tens of thousands
of acres of the land they are travelling
over each day have cost value of no
more than ten to twenty-five dollars an
acre. Set to an orchard the limit OF
their annual income has never yet been
measured.
The well-known fruit grower of Con-
necticut, j. q. Hale, the man who does
something and who works out the faith
that he possesses, has recently been out
among the widely heralded fruit grow
ers of Oregon and Washington. Fresh
from his visit he addressed the farmers
of New Hampshire the other day at a
field meeting on the opportunities that
lay in the land in their possession.
Thousands of acres of land 10 that
state" he said to them, 'is on the tax
list at less than ten dollars an acre,
when it ought to be worth thousand
dollars an acre to raise fruit on. On the
Pacific coast they buy land at twelve
hundred to $4,000 an acre on which to
raise fruit to ship across the Continent
and sell for big prices in your own mar
kets. Yet the apples are not so good as
you can raise right here on these low
cost lands. Your apple orchards are
neglected, although apples are the best
crop on the farm If properly grown"
This is the testimony of man who has
the courage of his convictions, and is
doing himself on his Connecticut lands
Just what he Is recommending to others.
Maine farmers who are the owners of
such opportunities may we'll take these
representations home to themselves and
profit by them. There are examples
enough in sight to prove the claims set
forth. Cultivate . faith in your own
land and then put that faith into works.
The venerable octogenarian, Solon
Chase, sold his last crop Of Northern
Spys, from an orchard hardly large
enough to attract the attention of the
passer-by, for the handsome sum of four
teen hundred dollars.-Maine Farmer.
