GREAT AWAKENING OF SOUTH
opment Of Agricultural, Mining
and Other Industries.

There is a great awakening taking
place in the south-awakening to a
realization of her duty in the devel-
opment of her agricultural, mining,
stock raising and manufacturing pos
sibilities. These possibilities lay dor
mant for decades, but ecent years
have revealed the fact that her citi-
zens are not unmindful of their pos
sessions and have awakened from
their slumber and are producing rad
ical changes In our economic condi-
lions.
In no section of the south is this
marked than in Texas, says the
Houston Post. While great awaken
ing has been manifested along all in
dustrial lines the most marked is
shown in the development of our agri-
cultural This has followed
the installation of new agricultural
machinery on the farm and the intro
duction of new agricultural methods
and the improvement of farm live
stock. The agencies that have been
the chief factor In this awakening are
the demonstration farm plan of the
United States department of agricul-
ture and the Inauguration of the farm
ers' institute by the state department
of agriculture. These two great agen-
cies have worked in unison in en-
phasizing the Importance Of adopting
saner methods on the farm and in the
orchards.
The Texas farmers have caught on
to contagion of progress and have
learned that with the opportunity of
labor has come the opportunity of
success. They have learned that to
succeed they must work with their
brains as well as with their hands;
and learning this they have been able
to overcome the greatest obstacle
and conquer the hardest circumstan-
ces. They have learned that indus
try Is needed to develop the resources
of talent as well as Of soil. And what
4 change has come with this realixa-
ton. Lands that were utilized in
growing inferior crops Of cotton, corn
and other grains are producing paying
crops OF onions, cabbage, celery. can
tAloupes and other crops for which
there are great demands. Low lands
have been drained and made fertile
and productive. Dry lands have been
irrigated and planted to alfalfa. fruits
and other crops and a thousand chan
ges made that are contributing com
fort to the home owner and wealth
to the state.

show his gratitude to tho Count.
Everything was strengthening out
nicely. To git rid Of the Count would
be simple. As his German tutor,
what could be more natural than for
the Count to put on his hat and walk
away? And then there was the quick
manner In which the Count had raj

But more noise was heard from the

could not imagine what further trou-
BILE fate had in store for him. but he
had experienced so much in this grief
time, and his nerves were on such a
wire edge. that he knew any upusua
noise meant trouble, and any unusual
silence might mean worse.
What can it be?" Lucy asked in
alarm.
Let us go and see," Medders said.
They were saved the effort, for Car
olyn came running in, her eyes big
with alarm, and her face white with
fright. She rushed to Harry and
chung to him.

"Oh, write something in German
now, then-it must be awfully hard to
write in German. isn't tt?-and then
thee let Harry read it,"
So the Count tore the fly leaf from
the book in his hand and solemnly
wrote thereon the line:
Find die dame ihr hut?"
He handed the sheet to Harry, who
assumed the painfully awkward posi-
ton of a schoolboy and laboredly read
the line, with an atrocious mispronun-
citation of almost every word. The
Count smiled, and took the paper
from him, saying:
"You see, he has der Cherman &C

CHAPTER VII.

When Harry and Lucy strolled into
the den, just after Daphne had sue
ceeded in getting into the room with
Mrs. Blazes, they were followed by
Mr.. Medders. Mr.. Medders was find
ing many things to Interest him in
Harry's home. This was the first time
he had ever been where he might
saunter from room to room and ex-
anime pictures, books and bric-a-brac
many of which were of a kin that
were not popular in his own environ
ment.
"Oh, Harry" Lucy said this IS just
the most delightful visit"
I'm doing everything l can to make
1t pleasant for you, and l hope nothing
happens to spoil it." Harry said.
Medders, moving about the den.
stopped at the door of the library.
What is in there, my boy?' he
asked. 81 haven't been in that
yet"
"There?" Harry repeated, nervously.
-Oh, that's just a junk room"
Thee means a bunk ROOM" Lucy
corrected him, mischievously.
YES" Harry said. IT'S a junk
bunk room"
"Varily," said Mr.. Medders, "a junk
bunk room must be interesting"
And before Harry could stop him he
had opened the door and started in.
only to step back and say:
why, there Is some n in here"
as there?" Harry asked, affecting
surprise. hastily trying to think how
big the headlines would be in the
papers the next day.
why, who can 1t be-" Lucy asked.
Harry, feeling that all was lost, still
racked his brain for some halfway
reasonable explanation of the pres
ence, as he thought, Of Daphne as
well as the Count, in his library.
why, you see," he began, they
they are"
"They?" Medders said. There Is
only one man in here"
Harry was lost for language and
bereft of thought when the Count
stalked majestically from the door.
No one else could be seer in the
library. Harry looked swiftly through
the doorway into every corner of that
room. asking himself: Where the
dickens has she gomez"
She was no longer there, that much
was certain. And he turned to SEQ
the Count bowling stif1y to Mr.. Med
ders and Lucy. The Count held q
hook in his hand, and az his head
rose from one Of his deep bows he
wjnked earnestly at Harry-a helpful,

story he told.

Il had quite forgotten the Count. Miss
Medders, Mr.. Medders, this Is the

The Count bowed beautifully, Lucy
courtesied, her father shook tho
Counts hand-and still everything
was not explained.
And is the gentleman thy instruc-

DEMOCRATS ARE
WATCHING SENATE
Nv As.ncIat.d Prr..-

Washington, July 1s-Democratic
leaders in the house are closely
watching developm ents in the senate
as the time approaches for action on
legislation initiated in the lower
branch. Their expressed position is
that Senator LaFollette's wool bill is
now likely to be tackled to the farm
ers' free list as a rider. and that the
senate Democrats will keep the bills
separated. The house leaders say they
feel that after the LaFollette bill has
been voted down in the senate the Re
publican insurgent senators may be in
duced to vote with the Democrats on
the Underwood schedule. The Demo-
cratic leaders contend that the La
Toilette bill is not really a revenue
raising measure in the same sense as
the Underwood bill. House Demo-
Gratis have taken the view that they
would rather have the Underwood bill
defeated than to accept the LaFollette
bill. In that event the Democrats
claim they would be in a good posi-
ton to go before the country on the
defeated measure.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics

Few peopel realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness. makes a chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot be brought back to
health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way. serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1870 in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence OF
this preparation is soon realized. II
stands the highest for its remarkable
record of cures.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample bottle
write to DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Bingham
ton, N. Y. Mention this paper and
they will gladly forward it to you alb
sclutely free, by mail.
swamp Root is sold by every drug

Mr. Beattie stopped the car when an

the man to make way. the latter. with
a surly retort raised a single barrelled
shot gun and fired at close range into
