FARMERS CLUB
ON SATURDAY
Great Tobacco Expert, Prof. Sher-
ffius Will Address the
Meeting.

The meeting of the Farmers Club
will be held in the circuit court room
at the court house, and the exercises
will begin at 1 O'Clock Saturday in
stead of 2, as formerly announced.
Two o'clock was too late for those
who lived very far in the country.
Prof. Sherfius is the greatest to-
bacco expert in the greatest tobacco
State in the Union, or for that mat
ter in the world. He lately received
an offer of $4,000 a year from the
British Government to go to South
Africa and teach the Boer farmers
the scientific culture of the weed. He
will bring with him his machine for
grading tobacco seed and will grade
enough to show how it is done.
All planters who want their seed
graded can get his address and send
him their seed and he will grade them
and return them free of cost.
Those farmers who are testing their
seed corn will be expected to report
the results. The meetings Of the
club would be more enjoyable if the
ladies would take an interest and
come. Special arrangements will be
made for them and if they will show
an interest the program committee
will see that especial features are adj
ded to the program for their benefit.

As a people we are indeed beyond

Washington and Lincoln. Widely

alike in essentials, they were alike in

The Way of Lincoln.


Yet perhaps the most wonderful
thing Of all, and, from the standpoint
of the America of today and of the
future, the most vitality important
was the extraordinary way in which
Lincoln could fight valiantly against
what he deemed wrong and yet pre-
serve undiminished his love and re-
spect for the brother from whom he
differed.
He lived in days that were great
and terrible, when brother fought
against brother for what each sin
cerely deemed to be the right. In g
contest so grim the strong men whC
alone can carry it through are rare
ly able to do justice to the deep con-
victions of those with whom they
grapple in mortal strife. At such
times men see through a glass dark
ly; to only the rarest and Hottest
spirits is vouchsafed that clear vision
which gradually comes to all, even to
the lesser, as the struggle fades into
distance, and wounds are forgotten,
and peace creeps back to the hearts
that were hurt. But Lincoln was
given this supreme vision. He did not
hate the man from whom he differed.
Weakness was as foreign as wick
edness to his strong, gentle nature;
but his courage was of quality so
high that it needed no bolstering of
dark passion. He saw clearly that
the same high qualities, the same
courage, and willingness for self
sacrifice, anddevotion to the right as
it was given them to see the right, be-
longed both to the men of the North
and to the men of the South. AS
the years roll by, and as all of us,
wherever we dwell, grow to feel an
equal pride in the valor and self de-
votion, alike of the men who wore
the blue and the men who wore the
gray, so this whole nation will grow
to feel a peculiar sense of pride in the
mightiest of the mighty men who mas
tered the mighty days; the lover of
his country and of all mankind; the
man whose blood was shed for the
union of his people and for the free
dom of a race, Abraham Lincoln"
Gov. Wilson Speaks.
Governor Wilson spoke on behalf
of the State Of Kentucky and General
Wright and Wilson made addresses
on behalf of the Confederate and
Union soldiers respectfully.
The President left very shortly af-
ter the ceremonies to hurry back to
Washington.

Sevres Blue.

The famous blue color given to the
porcelain manufactured at Sevres has
long been believed to be the result of
secret process, and many legends
exist about X. Louis Franchet shows
in the Revue Scientifique that 1t is an
error to suppose that Sevres blue can
not be produced elsewhere. AS n mat
ter of fact 1t is produced in many
French potteries where sufficient care
is taken and where pure oxide Of CO.
bait is employed. Formerly 1t was diff
ficult to procure this article without
impurities. which injured the color.
but chemical science has overcome all
the difficulties. The same Is true Of
the Chinese green known as celadon.
1t was invented In China. but 1t can
be perfectly reproduced elsewhere.

Breaking His Own Law.

When King Ferdinand of Bulgaria
proclaimed himself car at Tirnovo re
Gently the members of his encourage
agreed that any one emitting the title
of majesty" in addressing or referring
to him should be fined 10 francs. The
ministers heard Of this and agreed to
the same system Of fines, which, com
ing to the notice of the prince. was
heartily approved by him. On the rail
way journey from TirnovO, after the
proclamation. the ministers were con
tinually handing out ten franc pieces.
But Ferdinand himself provided the
climax OF the comedy, for just after
rebuking the minister of finance and
filming him his majesty" referred un-
thinkingly to the princess" instead of
the ''cZarina.' whereupon he was
promptly called upon to deliver up 10
francs himself In forfeit.

Cost Of Battleships.

AS figured out by London Answers,
the annual cost of running" battle
ship Of the Dreadnought class is $780,
600 year, of which 100000 goes for
salaries and wages. Ammunition In
time of peace costs 100000 year. the
expense of necessary target practice
being very heavy. Victualizing, fuel.
etc. make up the balance. Estimating
the original cost of these ships at
S7,500,0OO and allowing life of TWEEN
ty years. the cost from the first draft
plans to the sale of the vessel as junk
reaches total of S17, 100000.

Gloves In the Army.

According TO a decision OF the In
spector general of the army, neither
officers nor enlisted men Will wear
gloves hereafter when equipped for
field service. Enlisted men will also
dispense with the use of white collars
when doing field duty. Officers Will be
allowed to wear white collar with
the service uniform when In garrison.
The decision also forbids the use of
white gloves, which were once looked
upon as Indispensable on some occa-
sions by officers as well as enlisted
men In the field.

london's Barqes.

The picturesque and useful London
barge. formerly so plentiful on the
river reaches. is slowly vanishing. The
coasting trade in and out Of the
Thames has been so bad lately that
barges have had to look elsewhere for
a living. The London barge is the
most economic Of all coasting vessels.
Her rig is so simple that two men and
a boy can work a barge carrying 200
tons dead weight. Her shallow draft
and ponderous leeboards enable her
to navigate channels across which a
man could wade and to answer her
helm like racing yacht.-London Ex-

even Trackage.
Curiosity is often displayed by trav-
elers over the method employed in
making mile after mile of trackage so
level that scarcely an undulation can
be felt as the whizzing train reels off
the laps. This levelness is maintained
by the "whitewash" car.
The "whitewash" car, says an ex-
change. is an ordinary vehicle fitted
with sort of whitewash magazine
AS the cars run over the rails at Il
moderate gait the developed sense of
the division officials notes any inequal-
tiles, and at each one valve is press
ed, whereat a dash of whitewash falls
on the tracks at the points where
later the working gangs get busy to
make things even.
This homely "whitewash" car is CIV

modern and scientific arrangement In
the way of handsome coach elegant

that 1t registers all unevenness in the
tracks on paper which has indicated

tions along the way. so that when n
run is completed it will be shown just
