The Pistol Bill.

Senator Johnson's pistol totiux
bill, which bids fair to become a
law, will doubtless prove of great
value to the state, if fairly carried
out. 1t provides that everyone
who desires to carry a pistol for
any reason whatever shall take out
license therefor from the Judge of
the circuit court of the county,
after having advertised his in-
tentioD so to do in some newspaper
published in the county. He shall
give bond in the sum cf $4,000
and shall be responsible for an ac-
cident even if il results from the
careless handling of his gun. 1t
also provides severe penalties for
the carrying of pistol with put
license.

AN EARNEST APPEAL
Is Made by the Children's
Home Society Of West
Virginia.

The above society was organized
in 1895 for the care aud training Of
the orphan aud homeless children of
West Virgins.
Shortly after organization Hon.
II. g. Davis gave the society q
home for the unfortunate little ones
which is located at Charleston, wa
Va, supplementing this generous
gilt by the yet more helpful dona-
ton OF 800 per month since 1909.
TO this first building Mr.. Davis has
addei two story building, thus
greatly increasing our capacity tor
caring for orphan children.
Into this home we receive the
homeless children, being admitted
at the rate OF o, 8 and sometimes 10
per month.
We are anxious to find them all
and appeal to all our people every.
where In West Virginia to report
to the superintendent any case of a
homeless child. They are received
from twelves months old up to
twelve years old. We earnestly re-
quest this great aid at all times in
finding the homeless child. Re-
member this request.

Washington, special.-In no Sec
tion of the country, probably has
there been more wonderful advance
ment in agriculture within the past
ten or twelve years than in the South.
The belief is expressed by. officials
of the Department of Agriculture
that the Southland is bound to take
that place in agricultural develop
ment she merits.
A spirit of re-awakening is coming
over the Southern farmer. The agri-
cultural progress in the South has
been marked by material prosperity
such as, perhaps, has never before
been enjoyed by the farming element
Of that part Of the country. The. f.
nancial condition of the Southern
planter began to take an upward
tendency about 1897, since which
time the situation has steadily i'm
proved. The production of cotton
that great staple crop of the South
increased So per cent, from 1896 to
1908, and the value of the crop 133
per ct. The Southern farmer, long
debt-ridden, has to q marked degree
been again placed on his feet as it
were by the increased prices he has
received from his cotton crop Of late
years. AS natural consequence he
is devoting more time and attention
to building himself better home, to
the education of his children and, he
is in fact, deriving more of the COM
forts of life than ever before.
Work of the Department.
The agricultural progress Of the
South really dates back to q few
years ago when the Agricultural De-
partment inaugurated an educational
campaign for a diversiication in the
crops. The application of practical
scientific methods to Southern agri-
culture in the opinion of Secretary
Wilson has done more to uplift
land than any other factor.
Officials of the Department of Agri-
culture believe that the advent Of the
weevil was in reality a sort of bless
ing to the South. While it was dis
astrious in its effect upon that great
staple crop, it at the same time made
the farmer realize that he must not
devote all of his land to cotton, but
must depend to a considerable extent
upon other crops. The South was
quick to absorb the scientific knowl-
edge so freely given by the Federal
government and is rapidly recovering
from past mistakes. Secretary Will
son is great believer in the doctrine
that the foundation Of this nations
prosperity is an enlightened agricul-
ture
Secretary Wilson Pleased.
"I am happy to have an opportun-
ity to express through The Associat-
ed Press" said Secretary Wilson
"the Agricultural Departments
good will toward the South and its
desire to. foster in every way the ag
ricultural prosperity of that great
and favored region. I have always
taken great interest in the agri-.
culture of the South, not only be-
cause Of its extremely interesting
possibilities, but because have felt
q keen sympathy with a people
