Mrs. Price Passes AWAY.

The following, taken from a Florida
paper, will be of interest to many
= Lexington people:
Mrs. L. L Price, of Minis, was ia
ken i'll Sunday morning, Sept. 24th.
Everything that loving hands could
do was done but to no avail. At 7:3O
p. m. DR.. Wilson summoned DR. Spell
and both physicians and nurse cid ev-
erything possible, but at II p m, i'm
mediately after the birth of ner little
baby boy the mother passed away
very quietly to the great and beautiful
beyond, where no tears will ever flow
and no sad good-byes will te said.
Aside from host Of friends ard rel
atives, Mrs. Price leaves a husband
and eight children to mourn her death.
The many friends sympathize with
them in their sad loss. Mrs. w. n.
Hand, the nurse, took the little babe
in charge, and did all that sne could
to save it, but Tuesday morning, at
2:15, after intense suffering, the little
one went TO join the angels bard, for
did not the Saviour say:
Suffer little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not, for of such
is the kingdom of heaven
Mrs. Price was u devout Christian
woman and of her we will say:
May kind angels guard her sleeping
dust
Tlll Jesus comes to claim the Just,
Then may she wake with sweet sur
prise
And in her Saviour's image rise.

Trustees Won Fight
Before County Board.

The County Board of Education on
Friday sustained T. P. Meetze, 8. N.
Gross and Karl F. Oswald, trustees of
Lexington School District No. !, in
the matter of seleot ting site for the
new ten thousand dollar school buiid-
ing. .
Mr.. W. w. Barre appeared before
the board with a petition asking that
the trustees be reversed and that the
new building be erected on the old
grounds. It is the contention Of Mr..
Barre that the site selected is not in
the center of the district; that it is
only one and three-quarter miles to
the line on the northeast while it is
four and one-half miles to the line on
the southwest. Mr.. Barre stated that
the new site is one-half mile from the
old building.
Following is the decision of the
county board Of education:
"a petition signed by W. W. Barre
and others having been presented to
the County Board Of Education for
the purpose of reversing the trustees
in their selection of a lot for site for
| the school building of said district;
said petition not showing any substan-
tial reasons why the trustees should
be reversed in their judgment as to
their selection for location of said site
for said school building IN said school
district; and, it appearing that the
best educational interests Of the dis
trict will be promoted by sustaining
| the trustees in their action in their Sc
lection of said site for said school
building, it is ordered:
"That the action of the board of
trustees of Lexington School District
| No. l, in their selection of a site for
the school building for said district be
| confirmed; and it is further ordered: -
"That said trustees be confirmed,

The catbird is our northern mock

prosperity comes from the fact that
the weeyil caused farmers to turn
their attention to some extent to the
raising of food crops, but that does
not alter the fact that the Knapp ex-
reriments show cotton lands to have
actually increased in value and yield

IMPROVED TOOLS IN GARDEN
Wheel Implements Cannot Be EquaIed
for Labor Saving and Efficiency
In Preparing Ground.
CIV R. G. wEATHERsToNEN

(By k. Il.
Among the many improvements
none along the line of gardening equal
the wheel tools for the saving of labor
and the efficiency of work, We thought
we had solved the problem by plant
ing in long rows and using the one
horse c~ultivator for the main part OF
the work.
This is a long stride ahead Of the
hand hoe, but the most steady horse
will sometimes blunder upon a row Of
plants.
Beside there Is often a bit Of spare
time in the morning or evening when
the soil is just right, yet to harness
the horse would take SO long that 1t
would not pay for the short period,
so the work is postponed until a rain
or drought places the soil in a less
favorable condition.
The wheel hoe puts the ground in
better condition for planting than any
other method. 1t marks the rows uni
formly and the drill puts the seeds in
regularly instead Of in lunches, thus
saving in the quantity required, yet
with the seeds properly spaced, firm
ing the earth oyer them after plant
ing.
The regularity in planting enables
one to work close to the plants with
tho wheel tools without injuring one.
They are more easily thinned out as
necessary, after they come up, and the

my child must be without faults,

than n way has proven to be a
blessing in disguise. The country as
a whole, especially the great cotton
producing section, was panic-stricken,
and 1t became necessary for the gen.
eral government to take some action
to restore confidence by saving the
crop. This it did when, in 1904, the
bureau of plant industry inaugurated
a movement at first known as the
cotton demonstration work, but later
called the farmers cooperative dem
%onstration work, the name which 1t
now bears. At the head Of this move
ment is DR.. Seamon A, Knapp.
THE primary object was to show
that a good yield Of cotton can be
made in spite Of the weevil, and the
effort to do this has been rewarded
with remarkable success. I have be-
fore me now an affidavit made by
some Of the most influential farmers,
merchants and bankers Of Trinity
county, Texas, affirming that the in
crease in bank deposits and the sell
ing values of farm lands shows that
county to be 100 per cent better off
than before the appearance of the
weevil; that the rental value of lands
cultivated wholly in cotton has In
creased IA per cent; that the lands
produce more cotton to the acre than
before, and that the weevil problem

ness along structural lines Of much
greater importance than the salvation
of one staple crop; it is concerned in
the development Of every branch of
agriculture and In the complete re-
demption of rural life. Southern
methods Of farming have long been
bad. Completely of conditions makes
it hard to give a reason for this, but
to those who know the section well
numerous reasons present themselves.
The owning Of large tracts of land
without means of cultivating them,
the poor educational and social ad-
vantages Of sparsely settled districts,
the alluring call Of the cities to def
mite incomes and more compact life,
and the leaving of the farms to ten
