Mrs. FELTON,. the question want to ask
you is this has a child the right to suf-
fer on the account OF parents? This
girl tries her best to have good in
fiuence and is above the average girl in
high ideals Of living, yet there Is GER
tain class of people who take advantage
of this girl and try to tear her down"
because she has no one to back her at
home Can you imagine anything more
horrible7 II she was educated she
could get out of IL. but you know that
IL takes the trained mind TO meet the
outside world, and make the best Chris
tan society. 1t Is not safe TO raise
girl among low. inferior. people What
about suffering people? Wonder how
many people win make sacrifice this
Christmas and help somebody that ne si'
help? I mean helpless people, not lazy
people. hope to hear from you through
The Journal. Your friend, M

have a level-headed farmer friend
who said TO me on yesterday: II had my
cotton ginned in Gainesville, but when
ever cotton In market fails 70 bring the
cost of it's production, shall do as am
doing, bring it home and stack IT up until
the demand increases. There Is no use
for the making"
Considering the high price OF guano
and the demands OF hoers and pickers.
our farmers should not put all their land
in cotton and expect TO come out even.
OF course they viii end in disaster, II

land well prepared and fertilixed, will
make the bread for large family and
pay all expenses in the cultivation.
Ten acres in cotton. well prepared and
fertilized. will make more cotton than
20 acres hastily cultivated and scantily
fertilized. What's the use in cultivating
the % acres, when 10 will do the work
easier and better?
Put that other 10 acres in oats or peas
and either win pay better than the half
cultivated tract here mentioned.
There is no preparation Coz manure saw

ture and then they can make their own

farmer will always keep his nose to the
grandstone.
is THE BLOCK SYSTEM A FAILURE
According to the figures OF the inter
state commerce commission the railroads
of the United States killed in the year
1910 nearly four thousand persons, and
MANNED and wounded nearly a hundred
thousand more.
In 1869 there were killed 27s1. and
over 1900 manned and wounded. See the
increase. During the year 1910 there were
nearly 5000 collisions and about as
many derailments.
The railroads loss, not counting dam
age suits. amounted to nearly s5.o0o,Ooo
There are in use many safety devices
and these perhaps saved over half the
damages
But in spite of all these safety devices
and appliances accidents multiply and
the careless man crops up and out in a
thousands places. AS long as human
kind are the forces which command anu
direct there viii be risk. danger and
violent deaths.
When the block system was set up,
it was announced that collisions would
be impossible. II but one train could
enter the block at a time. then It could
not meet another train; it would be i'm
possible. But the fact remains they do
collide and people are killed in the
blocks by collisions,
The railroad managers are good men,
they pay first class wages. and they ex-
tons. but these collisions occur, people
are killed by the thousands each year
and ten times as many are wounded. Is
