Little Rock, April 29. - Now that Little Rock has secured the 1911 reunion of Confederate Vet errns, where are all the visitors going to be put?" is the uues- ton being asked on all sides.

RACE SUICIDE IS A
 SERIOUS CRIME

Theodore Roosevelt, speaking on "Citizenship in a Republic" in Paris, France Saturday after noon, made vigorous attack on race suicide. He told tremend- ous audience and composed of members of the French Cabinet, students from the University of Paris and distinguished guests, that the greatest of all curses is the curse of race suicide, and the "Severest of all condemna- tions should be that visited upon wilful refusal to resume the re- responsibilities of parenthood." He declared that the failure of a nation to increase is misfor- tune, and that when the failure is deliberate and willful, it is a serious crime.

B|RTHDAY OF A | STRANGE PARSONAGE

NV. Osborne, of this city,
 tbe man without a coat" is to
 lsy celebrating his 73d birthday
 mniyersary.
 Forty.six years ago he bought
 coat, a navy blue garment cut in what was then the latest Style He got it to wear at his wedding. He has worn it only three times since, two of the oc- asons being subsequent wed dngS and the third occasion be. ihg the coldest night The ever &w," eleven years ago In his ntire life, he has not worn out, he says, more than two coats.
 The next time l wear a coat | will wear it a long time" is the grim determination expressed ! by Osborne.
 The following are some of the reasons why Osborne is entitled tOOe called the most eccentric man in Arkansas: he never removes his hat ex |cpt when going to bed and when anng with strangers. His hat $ 'he first thing he puts on in the morning.
 He hasn't worn an overshirt outa dozen times in 20 years.
 ne drinks no intoxicants.
 he has chewed tobacco for 65 years.
 ne never smokes,
The Prescott daily news., 1910-04-29

He drinks black coffee and eats
 hog and corn bread"
 He has heard two sermons only in the past 15 years.
 Osborne is a carpenter. He was born in Jackson County, Tennessee, and has lived in Ark ansaS since before the war. He talks freely about his custom. His sole reason for going coat less, he says, is that he consid- CTS the garment unnecessary. He says he is healthier than he would be if he wore a coat.
 In support of his contention that coatlessness means health fitness he says that he has nev- CT had a headache and hasn' t had fev 1T since 1862. He says he never feels tough" after arising in the morning. He eats three meals per day and isn't a faddist concerning his food ex- cepting that it must be simple fare.
 OSborne'S fourth wife died July f, last, and he is the father of boy baby two and one halt years old.

lands owned by him near this place.
Rev. r. w. HUMPHREYS was called to Bel

Mr.. J. NJ. Huckabee.
Mrs. H. c.. Fcnnell left here Saturday for

Ernnell, in obedience to Il telegram from
him soying that Il OF his children was
quite sick.
Mr.. j. b. Huckabcc went to Gregg Shoals
Thursday and began work as an operative
in the power plant at that place.
Mrs. J.. NJ. Huckabcc and W children
who had been some time with the family
of the son-in-law of the first named, came
back to her home here Saturday.

Southern Blocks Out Big Work for 1910.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Presid ent Finley
announced.to-day that the Southern Rail
way will in the near future, through its
Land and Industrial Department, again
enlarge the publicity and promotion work
which it has carried On for the develop
,ment of the country reached by its lines.
It was necessary to curtail this work
somewhat following the business depres,
sion Of 1907, on account Of both general
and special conditions. It is now felt that
not only the business conditions IN the
country, but the local situation in the
Southeast, warrants q larger campaign for
the location of industries, the bringing OF
new settlers, and a general development
work, that is the resumption in full OF the
east. In carrying out this policy, there
win be q larger use Of the trade, agricul-
tural,, and other. newspapers and periodl-
calls Of the North and West, the publica-
ton Of many special pamphlets, exhibits
at many Northern fairs, INT q larger work
In Northern Europe. The Southern has
found. that, n OF the best methods OF
publicity lie In the exhibits Of the products
OF; its territory at the larger fairs held in
the North and West, and more attention
than ever will be paid to this line Of work.
The South will be advertised in Northern
European countries by the circulation OF
specially prepared matter, and by the use
OF newspapers, In q way that is consistent
with our immigration laws and as is per-
mittsd by the laws Of the respective coun-
tries. The Southern has maintained for
some years q European agency OF its Land
andIndustrial Department, with he adquar-
ters in London, which will carry on the
prosecution of active efforts to interest
land seekers and investors from that side
OF the ocean In the South. The most thor
orough cooperation possible is to be given
to local business and other organizations
In the development Of the various COM
munities along the Southern system.

r., D.'s Great Three-Cornered Meet.

On February 22nd there will be three
large meetings Of rural carriers. The car
riers Of Spartanburg and n~eighborine
counties will meet at ~Spartaburg in the
Court House at 10 o'clock a. m; the car
riers Of O~rangeburg, and neighboring
counties will meet in Florence. President
Thos. E. Wicker of Newberry and Treas,
urer A. w. Hill Of Greenville will attend
the Spartanburg meeting Yice-President
E.$W. Conner Of Rock Hill will attend the
Florence meeting; and Secretary Paul K
Crosby Of Rufin, Colleton County, will at
tend the Orangeburg meeting.
The indications are that each OF these
meetings will be largely attended, as all
carriers are urged to attend whether they
are members Of the R. L.. G. Association or
not. These meetings, however, are not in
citation that has already made arrange.
ments to meet on that date.
The carriers are beginning to see the ne
cessity for organizing, and the more pro-
gressive ones among them are working to
this end.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
President Barrett to Southern Farmers.

To the Officers and Members of Southern
Farmers Union:
Members OF the Farmers Union every
where, in the South particularly, have just
concluded one of the most prosperous and
progressive years in the history OF the Or
ganization.
Interest recruiting members, INTEREST in
the active problems Of the order, is at all
points vigilant and aggressive. The organ
lied farmer is alive to his rights AMI
the way to obtain them, as he has not been
within my recollection.
In the South peculiarly, the lesson OF the
year just passed should point u powerful
and significant lesson for this year and the
year to come.
Cotton has sold, unfortunately, at a prof
liable figure, mainly because there was not
too much Of it. The crop catne well within
the demands OF worldwide consumption,
and as a result but little was sold ut IL loss,
as has been the case III years gone by.
We can insure the saline measure Of pros.
perity for the new year We can ever i'll
crease that prosperity il we diversity int
diligently and keep the cotton acreage
within any reasonable bounds.
1t would be wretched business policy for
ourselves and The South to Ue lured by the
attractive prices Of the fall and winter into
planting a huge acreage for the coming
season.
know of no better way6to undo our own
prosperity and to play into the hands 81
the cotton gamblers.
These latter gentlemen have been unable
to hammer the price of cotton this season,
because evry intelligent man knew fol
himself that the crop was not Of abnormal
proportions.
To trade on the prosperity Of last season
and tempt Providence with q recordbreak'
ing crop, would be$Q court sure and heavy
loss for ourselves and sacrifice much OF the
gain received recently.
1 therefore urge upon you to raise al
home your food supplies. the supplies for
your family. for your help and for YOU
stock.
There is not one State in the South but
can adopt this policy, freeing itself OF the
hay and wheat and corn domination Of the
other sections and avoiding the laying OF
mortgage on cotton to pay other people fol
the products we should raise for GU
selves.
We have had before US the lesson OF hare
years and tremendous crops, and profitet
by them. We have now before US the lesson
Of a prosperous year. Let US see II we can
not also profit by it's teachings.
I look for 1910 to be the most wonderful
year in the history Of Southern farming
That prophecy will be fulfilled II the
organized farmers Of the South practice
Investigation religiOusly, at the same tim,
avoiding as they would the plague and
death itself, the foolish temptation to plan
heavily for cotton.
Let us more than duplicate 1910. We car
accomplish that II we observe scrupulousl!

The Public Drinking Cup to Go.

Columbia, Jan. 24.-The State Board OF
Health has started q crusade to eliminate
the public drinking cup from the State on
the ground that the cup is a dangerous
spreader of infectious diseases. A bill will
likely be introduced in the Legislature
abolishing the common cup in public
places, including schools, waiting rooms
and railroad trains.
DR.. Williams, Secretary Of the State
Board Of Health, is exhibiting a supply OF
individual paper drinking cups which are
placed in q small vendor near the water
cooler in the Office of the Board.
In North Carolina the Board of Health
condemned the common cup last July. Au-
thoritics nave proved that the germs OF
diphthcria, tuberculosis and other more
IoathsOme diseases are conveyed from sick
persons to healthy ones or the brims OF
drinking cups in public places.
