vided with modern heating and lighting systems
have afforded habtations Of which any farmers
in the land might we'll be proud. Some OF the
landed proprietors have also expended some OF
the fruits OF recent prosperity In providing better
dwellings for their tenants. OF course this Is
without reference to exceptional cases where
wealthy northerners have invaded the south and,
as in the case Of the Vanderbilt estate In North
Carolina, have not only provided ideal dwellings
for tenant farmers, but have also established
model dairies, etc.
And Just here 1t may be added that import
ant contributory to the of better homes In
rural Dixie is found In the influx of northern
farmers. OF late years these farmers who are
abandoning the wornout farm land Of the middle
west have been vending their way southwark In
increasing numbers many of them giving Dixie
q preference over western Canada because OF Its
kindly climate and consequent economy In fuel
and the cost of heavy clothing. Naturally these
energetic, prosperous farmers have been accus-
toned to comfortable and convenient farm
houses. and, arriving at their scene Of activ-
ities almost the first thing they have done has
been to provide dwellings that have In many In
stances proven a revelation to the natives.
Another new factor has just appeared in south
ern rural life and the influence which 1t Will
exert-and which will probably extend to hous-
ing conditions-is awaited with keen interest
England has always been one Of the largest GUS
toners for raw cotton raised In America and the
manufacturers in Great Britain have long had
the idea that they ought to be able to get their
cotton at lower prices II British thrift and sys-
tenn could have play In the cultivation and pick
ing of the fluffy white balls. Finally. only few
months ago, they decided to attempt to take
cotton cultivation into their own hands. and they
have recently spent millions OF dollars In the
purchase of thousands of acres of cotton land
which sthey will cultivate under the direction OF
their own experts. Presumably southern labor
will be largely employed. but some help may be
imported and every person who knows of the In
stinctive colonizing instincts of the English be-
lieves that they will introduce some Innovations
in housing the families dependent upon the en-
terpriso for a means of livelihood =

HOME OF A S|GNER
Old Taylor House Will Be Made
a Museum.
One Of the Two Remaining Abodes Of
Those Who Put Their Names
to the Declaration of
independence.

Easton, Pa.-One by one the nation
has permitted the homes OF the sign
er5 of the Declaration OF Independ-
ence to be sold into uncaring hands,
or altered or torn down, Today, it is
said. there remain only two OF these
homes as they appeared in 1776. These
are the former home of George Taylor
in this place, and Charles Carrollton
of Baltimore. The Carrollton man.
sion. rich as 1t is in memories, has
been a tenement house, inhabited
principally by foreigners. The lower
floor OF the Taylor house was last
used as butcher shop.
1t is quite probable that there is
more interest attached to this Taylor
house than to the home of any other
signer of the famous document. 1t Is
for this reason that the Easton chap
ter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution are making such efforts to
preserve this once famous building.
This society has purchased the home
and will convert it into a museum. AS

This house was built in 1857 as
home for William Parsons, the found

fore Parsons died, George Taylor
came to America with a man named
Savage, who established furnace at
Durham, near Easton. Savage paid
for Taylor's passage to America, and
the latter then worked seven years
for Savage, to reimburse him. Then
Savage died, and Taylor married his

The Taylor House.

The Durham furnace was kept busy
making shot for the Revolutionary
cannon. Taylor moved to EastOn and
bought the Parsons home, at the north
east corner of Fourth and Ferry
streets. Here General Washington
visited Taylor when the former came
to this city to visit the sick soldiers
that had been housed in the First Re-
formed church, which was temporar-
lily used as hospital.
In 1864, Taylor was member OF
the Provincial assembly, and one OF
the committee which thanked King
George for repeating the stamp act.
The Taylor house is a two and a
half story structure, built of sand
stone. The mortar is so hard that it
can hardly be Clipped off with a
chisel. The floors are Of one and one
half inch oak planks, and fastened
with wrought iron nails. Large oaken
shelves adorn the room used by Tay-
lor as his library, and the second
floor has a spacious fireplace where
hang the colonial fire tongs. The
chimney is yet straight and solid, and
the window sashes and panes are al
most invariably the same as they
were in Taylor's time. A short time
ago, a small marble slab, giving the
time of erection, and the date of death
of the owner, George Taylor, was
placed on the building by the new
owners, the Easton chapter OF the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton.

Utah, to begin the use of typhoid vaccination in
an effort to put an end to the typhoid that has
