Running Certain Kinds OF Farmers.
(MonrOe ENQUIRER. J


The farm demonstration work that
Mr.. L. ]. w. Broom is going around
talking to the farmers about has been
the ruination of many a one-third
bale OF cotton acre land and ten bush
cl corn land. 1t has ruined that kind
OF land just like good rain after q
dry spell ruins nubbins-makes big
ears OF corn out OF them. The farm
ers Of Union county are running to
the bale an acre land and fifty bushels
of corn an acre diet and they will
never get over it. Once a man makes
bale of cotton to the acre you can
no more get him back to the one
third Of Il bale an acre habit than
you can make him change the color
cf his skin. He just will not get back
TO the good old way OF his daddy and
make a third Of a bale on an acre.
And more than that some of the
farmers have been by this intensive
farming system led SO Tar away from
the good old days to be two bale
an acre men instead Of getting back
into the good old third of a bale be-
before-the-w They are keeping
Up the two bale an acre standard and
are bold enough TO say that that a two
bale acre of land is better and worth
four times as much on the market
after the cotton has been picked as
an acre that has made q third OF a
bale. We have called the attention
Of Mr.. Broom and his co-Workers to
the fact that they are departing from
the good old ways and are running the
third Of a bale an acre man and his
brother, the ten buSFel an acre man,
hut they will not be sorry nor repent
ant worth a cent, and are making
preparations to begin to prepare to
get ready to depart from the good old
way more than ever this year

FIRST POST HOUSES

Established by Cyrus, the Founder Of
 the Poroian Empire. p4
 The tirst posts are said to have orig mated in the regular couEiers estab- lished by Cyrus the Great about $50 B. C., who erected post houses through out the Kingdom of Persia. Augustus was the first to introduce this institu- tion among the Romans. BIB. O.. and he was initiated by Charlemagne about 800 A.. D. Louis XI. was the 6rst sovereign to establish post houses in France. owing to his eagerness, for news. and they were. also the first in stitution of this nature in Europe. This was in 14IO. or about 2sOOO years after they were started in Persia. Y
 In England in the reign of Edward ". C1481D riders on post horses went stages of the distance of twenty miles from each other in order to procure the king the earliest intelligence of the events that passed in the course of the war that had arisen with the Scots. A procIa nation was issued by Charles Il | in 1881 that. ''whereas to this time there hath been no certain interc0nrse between the kingdoms of England and | Scotland. the king now commands his postmaster of England for foreigZ parts to settle a running post or twe between Edinburgh and London to g thither and come back again in si1 1 days"

In. Mxstsrn of q Duel.

Having fought his duel and saved his honor by firing a shot in the air, the editor of French provincial newspaper went back to his desk, and the incident had quite left his mind when he felt something strange in his thigh. He looked and found that he was bleeding profusely. A doctor was called, who discovered that a bullet was imbedded in the editors thigh some two inches deep and required extraction. "Why was this not taken notice of on the spot where the duel took placer he asked. The editor was as much in the dark as the doc tor. At the moment of the duel he had fired into the air, and his adver- sary also took a distracted sort of aim. There had evidently been no in- tention of doing the slightest harm or either side. The editor felt nothing as he left the field and had shaken hands with his antagonist as sign of reconciliation. How a bullet came to be lodged in his thigh was simply one of the mysteries of dueling.-London Telegraph.

rha rnad,a rnnn,,a.

The skillful manner in which a pet toad used it's wonderfully formed tongue entitled it to be ranked as an expert. For one thing, it showed wonderful skill in judging distances. The tongue was never darted out until the insect came within certain range, Nheg accuracy of the creature's aim was ap0ther matter for surprise. The insects were generally in motion when the tongue was darted out against them, but the arrow never failed to hft. The rapidity with which the tongue was shot forth excited much wonder, The operation is a complex one. The tongue is doubled or folded up when in the mouth. Therefore twofold action Is required, an uncoil- ing of the weapon and then the dart ing Of 1t forth. The withdrawing of the tongue with the captured insect on the tip was not less remarkable. Not withstanding the rapid motion, the flneness of the tongue tip and tine struggles of the prey the victim was never dropped. -Exchanga

To spill 1t careless ly was to incur the displeasure of these household divinities After ac- cidentally spilling salt the ancient Ro- man was wont to throw some over the left shoulder shoulder of Ill omen

The saint, al- though he recognized his malign GUS toner, acceded, but caused him so much pain during the operation that Satan begged him to desist.
