r;on Junction in the western part of Dal- las county.
 Mind you that was 10 years ago.
 His neighbors tell me that he is now worth about s2O,O0O, and has lived well all the time. He has done it all on the farm. I am told that he had practically nothing when he started.
 You may figure what he would have ac- complished as a policeman In the same time even though he had been fortunate enough to escape a commissioner As car conductor he might have been pro noted to dispatcher and lived in sweet little rented cottage at Fairyiew.
 This mans name is Dave Blackburn. His neighbors still call him Dave, the familiar name by which he was known when he drove hack in Marion, but he is a gentleman and a success.
 Wearing creased clothes on Monday and living in an encumbered brown stone on "a paved street are not the only requisites of a gentleman or the successful man.
 The lord of a prosperous field of al faIfa or 50 bushel corn patch outelasses the ranking lords of any lordly nation.
 His ''breeches' may bag at the knees and he may have never seen beaten bis cult, but he Is worthy the honor and consideration of kings.
 I am glad that the world has begun to recognize this fact.
 The farmers of Alabama and the United States are reaching that high standard of intelligence and independence where they no longer submit to the todyism of cheap politicians. They resent the puny favors that are offered them in sugar-coating by legislators. They demand simple, fair justice and nothing more. They are learning to stand on the same footing with manufac- turers, bankers and business men of all professions.
 But I am digressing.
 I was talking about Dave Blackburn. He grows corn, cotton, alfalfa. hogs, horses and cattle.
 He has three acres of fine alfalfa that

This section is rapidly filling up with fine breed cattle.
 Why?
 The cattle tick Is being exterminated in Dallas county and the farmers can afford to raise fine cattle. The work of clean ing the county will be finished this year.
 In another year Dallas county will far outstrip Sumter county in the cattle in dustry unless the people of the latter county get busy with the tick. Sumter has been considered the leading cattle county of the state but that was while all things were equal.

COLORADO MARBLE TO EUROPE

That the Colorado marble, quarried
at Marble, forty miles from this city, is
destined to invade the markets of for
eign lands is predicted by those who
duct and demand for it. Many of the
largest buildings in the country are
being finished with the Colorado pro-
duct and now an effort will be made TO
match a foreign marble In speaking
Of his the Denver Republican said:
A small block of Colorado Yule mar
bic is travelling across the ocean bound
for Paris. Its destination in Paris Is
the studio of the sculptor who made
the famous children g fountain in Dus-
seldorf.
Mayor Speer sent it to the sculptor
to see if 1T can be matched with marble
over there. If it can, then the great
Dusseldorf fountain can be reproduced
here at about half the price it would
otherwise cost. Mayor Speer has asked
the sculptor if he would be willing to
carve the wonderful figures that form
the crowning piece of the fountain and
let the rest be made here. The sculptor
replied that he would, but, of course,
the Colorado marble would have to
match the marble from which he would
carve the figures.
Any skilled carver of marble could
reproduce the body of the fountain.

WHITEWAsH FROM CACTUS

A story sent out from Washington
new use for the common cactus plant of
the western country is suggested by
Theodore H. Adams of Denver, a visitor
to the national capital, who is authority
for the statement that durable paint
may be made from the cactus. The
people of South American countries, ac-
cording to Mr. Adams, have used this
natural paint for years.
ITO obtain this effect the natives
use a whitewash made of the sliced
leaves of the common cactus, macerate1
in water "A hours. This produced So
luton of creamy consistence, to which
lime is added and well mixed When
this whitewash is applied to any SUI
face, whether of wood, brick, iron or
other material, a beautiful, peariy-
white appearance is produced. Not only
is it a better color than the ordinary
whitewash, but it is lasting, and will
endure through the storms and frosts
of many years.
''As we all know. the ordinary white
wash of today will not last longer than
one season, particularly where climatic
conditions are unfavorable. This milky
solution gives the white wash the con-
sistency, apparently, of paint. 1t
seems to me that in sections of the west
where the common cactus is so plentiful
the plant might be utilized to advant-
age in this manner. Some keen-wittei
fellow viii come along some day and
patent an everlasting whitewash. Ana
here it is, in many sections of the west,
waiting only to be used

BUSINESS IN GOOD SHAPE

While in Denver the other day to al
tend the annual meeting of the d. y
X. e., President Jetfery gave his friends
to understand that he sees nothing to
fear in business at this time. He said,
the cry if hard times is largely i'm.
aginary."
From his point of view, the outlook
for the future in all lines of business
is good. President Jeffery indicated
that his intention was to remain in
Colorado for some time in order to be
in closer touch with the affairs of the
Rio Grande system. He is accompa-
MED by Kingdom Gould, son of George
Gould, the chairman of the board Of
directors of the Rio Grande.
President Jeffery and Kingdom Gould
will visit the flood stricken district OF
southwestern Colorado. He will give his
personal attention, he said, to getting
the road in operation again in that
section. President Jeffery estimates
the loss to the Rio Grande by floods in
that section of Colorado recently a:
close to 100000
President Jeffery denied that there
was any plan afoot to standard guage
the line between Salida and Grand
Junction.
''It must be UNDERSTOOD he said
that such work must be carried on
only by the sale of securities, and just
at present we do not contemplate the
sale of securities for this work. That
is something that will be taken care #
some day, but not now"

BIT OFF MORE THAN
THEY CAN CHEW

Mrs. Isabelle Churchill, divorcee, for
Californa, intimates that the sutfrag-
cites of the Golden state himtiammed
the male voters into giving the women
the ballot by promising reforms which
they will never be able to accomplish
That S nothing new, Isabelle. They
did the same thing in Colorado and al
though many years have gone by, the
women have not begun to catch up with
these campaign promises. The reforms
which were promised if women were
only given the ballot. have not vet
materialized although in states whore
women have been denied the ballot they
have made use of the gentle influence
of love, moiesty and respect and have
accomplished reforms which all the
Latfertys and other female Colorado
politicians we could name will NOT
bring about in hundred years, and
they have done it, too, without sac
ritice of the home-that sweetest and
most sacred institution this side of
heaven
But here is part of Mrs. Church
III S statement:
Reform has been the slogan of the
battle in California, and women have
gone up and down the state promising
things which they will not be able to
accomplish They have declared that
if they gained the vote they would do
away with the trusts, the social evil.
the saloon graft and other sores upon
the body polite. OF course, as WON
an who has seen the practical work
ings of suffrage, l know they haye TAX
en- larger contract than they will be
able to fulfill. The vote was given to
women, l believe, as a reformatory
measure rather than as a constructive
measure of government for which the
commonwealth was ripe"
