Captain the Hon. Charles Stewart
Rolls was rs years old and was one
OF the most popular young all-around
sportsmen In England. AT ballooning,
at motoring and later In the field OF
aviation. he had distinguished himself
by his utter fearlessness.
Undoubtedly his crowning feat was
bis rond trip across the channel be-
tween Dover and Calais IN a Wright
biplane on June last Two French
men. Louis Bleriot and Count DeLes-
seps. already had crossed the chan
mel and Hubert Latham had almost
succeeded.
Channel flying was al a discount
IN England, because 1t was considered
all old story. and also because Ma
tloDal pride suffered from the monop-
oily OF 1t by Frenchmen. when Rolls
electrified the entire kingdom by
doubling the accomplishments of his
predecessors. The distance between
Dover and Calais is twenty-one miles,
and when Rolls did the round trip of
forty-two miles In ninety minutes
without stopping. his performance
was marvellous one, both for dis
tance and time.
Rolls was as modest as he was
daring and received the congratula-
tioDs which were showered on him al
most with embarrassment
In his youth. Rolls was one of the
pioneers OF motoring in England, He
drove a motor car while the ordinance
was still in force that every self-pro-
PEELED vehicle on the public roads
must be preceded by man carrying
red flag toward pedestrians. In
$50 he was one of the best known
motor experts In Europe.
In 1900 he won the gold medal In
The thousand mile race. He was tho
representative OF Great Britain in the
GoTGon Bennett race OF 1905, and sew
eral times made worlds records for
speed
AS a balloonist, Rolls made more
inan $50 ascensions. crossed the chan
mel several times In balloons, and In
1906, by journey from Paris TO Sher-
bourne and Norfolk. gained the
French Aero clubs medal for the
longest balloon journey.
Rolls was intended for the dlplo-
matte service. but he showed such en-
thuslasm for science and mechanics
that his parents decided It was better
&c let him become good scientist
than a poor diplomat.
He was educated at Eton and Cam
bridge. where he specialized In enGi
ncering and electricity He was cap
tain of the Cambridge university bi
cycle team and gained his military
title With the Eton volunteer battery
Rolls had written and lectured
much on his hobby. particularly OF
The future OF motoring He also wac
an expert musician He was the tech
nical managing director of the Rolls
Royce Motor company and also cap
tain OF the London section OF tho
army motor reserve corps.

Peanuts, Corn and Hay
DR.. S. A. KNAPP.

The value of peanuts as a hay
and food crop has never been ap-
preciated. The peanut will grow
on the larger portion OF the up
lands of the South. As crop for
varied uses nothing excels it. 1t
can be made profitable when nuts
are grown for market, and it was
found to produce more and cheap
err pork than any other crop. When
used as hay for horses or cattle the
vines and nuts are pulled up and
cured together. In this shape they
are relished by all kinds of stock,
and as they are highly nutritious
they can be utilized in place of
more expensive grains to a large
extent.
Peanuts should not be planted
until warm sprung weather. Plant
on a well-preparsd soil, in rows }
fest apart and IL inches apart in
drill for the Spanish variety and
greater distance for the larger
varieties. The Spanish is prefer
ed for feeding purpose.
The peanuts, like other plants
We could name, is a soil improver,
and every farmer should look with
more favor on its place among the
farm crops.
All corn and hay should be
grown on tho farm.
With the splendid records OF
corn produced per acre in the
Southern States. and with our adj
vantages in climate and so many
valuable forage drops to supple
ment grains for feeding to stock
it is a discredit for any farmer tc
buy corn or hay except in rare
cases Of misfortune.

Stand Up for Convictions.

There are many men who seem
to have no convictions on any sub
ject. Ii they have any they give
no sign. They ouly smile aud are
silent. That is probably better
than to be verbose and violent.
Vanity of opinion is as bad as to
have none at all. In a real simon
pure conviction. there are nodes
ty and courage both. Truth is in
the quiet voice, since it does not
depend on vainglory or rant.
But a real man will say his say
when the time comes, not for con-
troversy-for that is not profta-
bic. but to show his hand and what
he is. A mans personal influence
is stronger than his argument, and
he is false to the truth that is in
him if he does not show that.
We have great issues before us
moral, political, social which
every man should think about and
understand, aud be ready TO take
a stand upon. But there are many
who don't do this who are mega
tive or cowardly and only smile or
grin when one of these subjects is
mentioned. They seem to think
that to disagree with another is a
great offense. 1t is an offense not
to disagree if one really does for
it an error goes unchallenged it is
strengthened. When a man says
such a thing is right and you think
it isn't, say so quietly aud earnest
ly, and let 1t 60 at that.
The worst mollycoddIe is the
man who believes thing is true
and neglscts to say 50 when it is
called in question. The world
would go backward if all were like
him.-Columbus.

ADVICES TO FARMERS

BOSNIAN, La, April n, 1910.
After the exceptional cold winds
Of last week many farmers think
their corn damaged to great ex-
tent, and their cotton entirely lost.
While the early corn, that Is
jointed, has undoubtedly been hurt
to a great extent, and in some ST.
tuations will have to be planted
over, the young corn will prompt
ly recover, and there is no cause
for fear, except in cloddy land
(late preparation }. or III very stiff
land, that has not received enough
rain to be pulverized.
The cotton, while hurt in some
sections, and mainly where it was
thinned out against our sugges-
tom, will probably come out OF it,
somewh hat stunted, but safe.
We advise the farmers not to be
hasty in their judgement of the
situation. The cotton plant has
wonderful recuperative power, and
is more hardy that is generally be-
lieved.
Our suggestions are as follow
If you think your cotton is past
redemption, do not pillow it up;
plant again on the side of the row.
Oh solid bed, if possible; or in
middles on two burrows run to-
gether and rolled for settling. The
first is the best way. Keep the
old cotton three weeks, and you
will know what do do, having the
choice of the two paintings.
Remember that your best seed
is in the old plants, aud that 81
of a stand of good plants is better
than full stand of common stock.

The Passing Of the Great
Plantations.

In Georgia, We are told, the great
plantations have disappeared in a
number of counties, because this
is a day of small farms and where
a planter in ants-bellum times cul-
tivated vast country estate with
hundred of slaves the land ia now
occupied by dozens of busy farm
ers. From Cordele, Ga, comes
the news that one Of the largest
and most notable plantations in
the South will soon be on y a me-
mory. because it is to be turned
into 1900 farms.
1t is known as the Hugenin plan
tation, consisting of $4,000 acres
of land, located across the Flint
river, in Sumpter County, about
eight miles from Cordele. This
great estate, which during the CT
vii War was called the Egypt of
the Confederacy," because many
of the supplies used by the SOL
disrs were raised 10y the slaves of
the Hugenin family, is to be divi-
ded into small farms of 100 acres
each for the purpose of selling
them to the farmers of north Geor-
gia, who have for years been llv-
ing on poor lands.
1t will be a great day for Lou.
isiana when she follows the exam
pie of Georgia and divides her vast
sugar estates into small farms to
be settled by thrifty farmers from
the West aud other sections, be.
cause it will mark the beginning
of a new era of marvellous progress
and prosperity for the State which
develop many manufacturing Oh
terprises to supply the needs of t
largely increased population.
