Improving the Ouachita.

There is scarcely week that goes by without Dr. Henry Sims Hartzog, president of Ouachita College. doing something in the way of innovation to increase the efficiency of his school, and this week his new de- perture is in securing Miss Kate Car gile of Philadelphia, as gymnastic in- structor of the female students at Ouachka College. Miss Cargi!e has had much training :n this depa! tlrent. She will make a careful study of each girl and then prescribe a course of gymnastic work to develop the weak portions of the system. The physcial developments of our wo- men," states Dr. Hartzog, "has been sadly neglected. We must promote health in our girls. Health IS sim ply another name for personal mag netism which makes her pretty, iii spite of red hair, freckles or any facial blemish. I believe in lromot- ing the beauty of the women, through their physical development The Gods intended that man should be the handsomer of the two sexes, just ai, the male in the birds, beasts and even in the Indians are the prettier and more gaudy, but we have lost that. Our necks are red and our waist line is gone, so all we have left is to develop the beauty of our women. The ancient Greeks develop ed the physical side of the woman. and their faces were blank because of the neglect of the mental develop ment. Our women have plenty of expression in their faces, and now we must build up the physical side to make strong and happy families. The proper instruction in school will make strong women, end these will make strong mothers and strong and happy children

BIG FIGHT ON
 THE BOIL WEAVIL
To Be Waged by Goyernment-J. A Evans Issues Elaboration
 to Farmers.

The following exhortation to the farmers has been issued by J. A. Ev- ans, agent for the demonstration work of the department of agriculture. in Arkansas and Louisiana, urging them to destroy their cotton stalks right laway so as to exterminate boil wee- wills:
 To All Agents in Boil Weevil Terri tory:
 Just word to each of you to again impress on you the importance of fall destruction of the cotton stalks as early as possible. While we much prefer that the stalks be cut and burned, because this is the only sure way of destruction, if demonstrators refuse to do this, try to get them to cut and plown under the stalks. The trouble in recommending the blowing under of stalks is that in those sec tions where the stalks are rank the average farmer has not the teams and blows necessary to do this work thor oughly, and unless the stalks are completely covered to some depth the work will be of little, if amy value.
 The object in destroying the stalks at the earliest possible moment in the fall is: First, to destroy the adult weevil of foo dand breeding places, and second, to kill the rhou- sands of weevil still in the egg. lar vac and young bolls. It should be :e- membered that it is the late matched weevil that stands the best chance of surviving the winter and doing damage the following year. The adult weevil if deprived of food for some time before it is cold enough to force him into winter quarters will natural ly be weakened by this period of star- vation and the mortality among them will be vastly greater than if they got into winter quarters fully fed, Too much stress cannot be laid on |this work. It is one of the most im- portant steps that can possible be taken by the farmer in his fight against the weevil.
 Yours truly.
 J. A. EVANS. State Agent.

Selling State Lands.

During the past two years the State Land Department has disposed of 10O215.26 acres of state lands and collected $39,225.67. This is shown by the biennial report now being pre- pared by State Land Commissioner L. L. Coffman. The strange feature about this is that most of the land has been purchased by residenta of Arkansas who gathered it in before the outsiders could pick up the most choice parcels.

The members Of the Board are of the opinion they are leo little acquainted with the University to govern it properly, and if several of the members could make monthly wis it's to the institution from now until January, the Board could act much more intelligently in the way of ask ing for appropriations, and directing the best places for the expenditure of the funds appropriated.

WORK PLANNED ON THE
WARE PROGRESS PLACE.
New Crops Will Be Raised
This Year.

NJ E, Hicks Clark, of Chicago, repre-
senting the Progress Company, own
ers Of the Ware Progress Orchard
plantation, was in the city yesterday.
Mr. Clark has been visiting the plan
tation, inspecting it and looking into
the plans for tie coming seasons
operations.
Mr.. Clark states that considerable
Of the new stock of the company has
been disposed Of and that the funds
thus secured will be largely devoted
to the improvement of the place.
The trees are in fine shape at this
time, and there is hope that the crop
viii be an excellent one. Cans have
been ordered for the cannery and all
Of the other preliminaries for the
handling of the output made
This year it is proposed to plant
sorghum and COW peas between the
rows of trees. 1t is believed a con
siderable crop viii be secured and
found profitable.
Alfalfa is also to be tried on a fair
ly extensive scale. This is fine food
for stock and is readily disposed Of
at remuneratiye prices.
Mr.. Clark states that the owners of

WILL WE GET A
Referee IN AMFRICUS?
Business Men Would Like
to Have One.

Apparently nothing further has yet
been done in the matter Of securing
the appointment of a referee in bank
ruptcy for Americas.
At the last meeting of the Board
of Trade, G. R. Ellis, Esq, apparently
speaking with some authority, said he
felt convinced that if the matter were
properly presented to Judge Speer that
the judge would take pleasure in graf
flying the wishes of the business in
terests here and would name some
good man as referee for this county.
The business men were generally
pleased to hear this and it was felt
that the matter stood in good shape
Nothing further was done at the time,
it being apparently the impression that
Mr.. Ellis, or the attorneys here, would
bring the matter to the attention OF
Judge Speer in proper manner.
AS far as can be learned this has
not been done. 1t seems to be a ques-
'ioh Oh everybody waiting on every
body else to have something done that
everybody wants done.
Feeling assured that Judge speer
will make the appointment if he is
properly requested to do so, it is prob
able that at the next meeting of the
Board of Trade a resolution will be
introduced requesting the Judge
exercise his authority and crafty the
wishes Of Sumter county In this way.
With so many able attorneys here
there would be no absence of good
material for the judge to select from
and an appointment would probably
soon follow the receipt of the resoIu-
ton by Judge Speer. who has always
felt kindly interest in this city and
county.

SOCIAL AND Personal LIFE
MRS. WELLBORN F. CLARK.


Unusually dull has been the Lenten
season, viewed socially. As a rule
the various clubs have their weekly
meetings with an occasional extra"
function to enliyen things, but of late
tie fair ones of Americas seem to have
lost interest in bridge and "forty-two, .

trary Notwithstanding. For several
weeks there have been only two or
three small affairs to chronicle.
Immediately after Easter number
if beautiful parties will be given. Ma
dam viii come forth arrayed in all the
fresh beauty Of crisp spring attire.
The hats are larger and more unlovely
than ever, if possible, but while they
overshadow, they cannot obIiterate the
piquant charm of bright eyes and rose
leaf compilations.
Two weddings in which all of the
contracting parties reside in Ameri-
Gus are being discussed by intimate
friends and announcements will ap-
pear very soon.

CIIIZfNS TO BEGIN 10
fI6HT Thf SPARR0NS
Gardens in 4IneriCuS Ruin.
ed BY Birds.

Shall the vegetable gardens in Am
CIRCUS be literally ruined and rayaged
by the pestrous English sparrow, or
will the gardeners arise in righteous
wrath. set the law against shooting
guns in the city at defiance, and to an
extent, at least, save their property
from ruin?
The matter is not Of trivial import
ance; or at least exasperated garden
ers do not so regard it.
Just now the garden planting seas
on is at the height, and TIE busy spar
row is on the job. He with his sisters
cousins and aunts literally follow be-
hind the plow
So destructive are the millions Of
sparrows here that several gardeners
have asked, and have been refused
permission to shoot the birds in pro-
lection Of their gardens. Such shooting
would cost IS per shot, net.
Rather expensive, even to the extent
Of saving the garden.
The suggestion has been made that
the city council suspend, for just one
day, the ordinance against shooting
firearms in Ee city; let this fact be
duly published, that every man and
every boy in the city may get a sho5-
gun or rifle and wage a relentless war
Of determination on the birds.
Thousands would thus be killed and
others driven away by the firing, for a
time. at least.
Gardeners discussing the sparrow
problem hesitate to put out poison. rs
this might result seriously otherwise
although a tin waiter of poisoned
dough, or cracked grain, placed upon
a fenceDost out of the reach of chick
ems would lay out hundreds of the
sparrows.
Or, if a dozen of the pests were
killed and their bodies tied to long
strings and swung in the garden it
would serve to brighten the birds,
quite likely.
