VELVET BEANS KILL WILT
LOWNDES FARMER ERADICATES
BLACKROOT FROM HIS FIELD.
Fine Results Obtained From Years
Experiment.. Cotton Disease De-
structive i'm That Section.

structiVe In That Section.
VALDOSTA.-The sea island grow
ers in this part of the belt have not
reported any serious damage from
the wilt or blackroot Some fields are
considerably affected, but on the
whole there is no more of it in the
sea island belt this year than there
was last, or the year before.
j. P. Biles, one of the farmers
around Valdosta, is said to have 8
field which is badly affected, and it
Is understood that he is inclined to
lay the trouble to new seed which he
bought this season. He made fine
crop last year and had no trace of
blackrOOt in his cotton, but he be-
lieves in progression and improve
ment, and this season sent to Florida
for new seed. The blackroot has now
attacked his cotton, and he estimates
that it will cost him eight or ten
bales. 1t is possible, of course, that
the disease was not brought into the
fields in the imported cotton seed,
but it looks much that way.
1t Is stated that about one-third Of
the cotton in one of the fields on L.
G. Swindle's farms at Bemiss is dead
as the result of blackroot, and the
disease continues to spread.
There may be other farmers whose
crops are affected, but not to any
great extent.
Alex Keel, of the Ousley district,
claims that velvet beans will eradi-
cate every trace of blackroot from
field in one season. He says he has
tried it and knows what he is talking
about. Year before last he had a
field in which fully half of the cot
ton died. Last year he planted a
portion of the field in velvet beans,
which formed a compact mass of
vines, shading the land completely.
This year the field was planted in
cotton again, but no traces of the
blackToot appeared in that portion on
which the beans were planted, Just
over the edges of the area on which
the beans were, however, the cotton
disease has shown up and is killing
a considerable proportion Of the
crop. Some farmers believe it will
take at least two crops of velvet
beans to get rid of the blackroot, but
Mr.. Keels experience is that one
crop knocks it out.

A FAMOUS OLD TREE,
Under Its Grateful Shade Thousands
of Gold Seekers Once Camped.

Under Its Grateful Shade Thousands
of Gold Seekers Once Camped.
The famous Lone Tree" which
stood almost in the center of the
United States and under whose wide
branches rested thousands and thous-
ands of gold seekers of 40 en- route
to the Ell Dorado of the Pacific coast
has been perpetuated in marble and
facsimile in stone has just been
erected on the spot once occupied by
the famous old landmark.
The Lone Tree" was the best
known camping ground on the old
California trail, and from 1849, when
the gold seekers rushed across the
great plains down to the completion
of the Union Pacific railroad, the old
tree stood out boldly as guide post
to the wagon trains trekking west
ward. After the railroad was COM
pleted and there was no further use
for it's help the tree died.
1t was an immense cottonwood,
four feet in diameter and very tall.
Being one of the few trees between
the Missouri and the Rockies it soon
became the best known land mark on
the trail. AS a further mark of dis
tinction the old tree stood almost in
the center of the continent between
New York and San FTancisco-with-
in less than one mile of the central
point.
The monument which the Nebraska
pioneers have just reared in memory
of Lone Tree" is made from Yer
mont marble, and was chiseled in
the east. 1t represents the trunk
of giant cottonwood and bears this
inscription: con this spot stood the
original lone tree on the old Califor-
MIA trail"

IA CONFEDERATE STATESMEN
Six in Senate and Eight in House
Form a Strong Body in the
Present Congress.


Confederate veterans form a strong
body in the present congress. There
are six in the senate-Bacon of Geor-
gia, Johnston and Bankhead of Ala
bama Martin of Virginia, Thornton
of Louisiana, and Tillman of South
Carolina. The first three were cap
tains in southern ranks and the 9TH
ers fought as privates or as members
of cadet corps nat were enrolled for
active service.
In the house of representatives
there are eight confederates, includ-
ing Brig. Gen. Geo. w. Gordon of
Tennessee, Major Chas. M. Stedman
of North Carolina, and Capts. John
Lamb of Virginia, and VIM. Richard
son of Alabama The other confed-
crates include Representatives Tai
bolt of Maryland, Rucker of Colora-
do, Taylor of Alabama, and Estopinal
of Louisiana.
1t is about Representative William
Richardson of Alabama that the most
exciting stories of the congressional
camp fires are told; and his expert
ences in the army were of thrilling
nature, for he was at one time SEN
fenced to be hanged as a spy.
The only confederate general in
congress is Representative George
Washington Gordon of Tennessee.
At the recent confederate reunion at
Little Rock, Ark, Gen. Gordon was
a prominent figure. His history is
striking one; he was captured three
times; dangerously wounded once
and slightly wounded several times;
was in every important battle partici-
pated in by the Tennessee troops, and
was finally taken prisoner and re-
moved to Fort Warren where he was
held until three months after the war
was concluded.

MAKING THE SOUTH A LAND
OF PAINTED FARMHOUSES
From the RALEIGH IN. G. PROGRESSING Farmer.

1t is the aim of the Progressive
Farmer to start crusade for paint
ing southern farm houses. Not only
does painting a house add greatly
to it's beauty and to the beauty of the
whole farm on which it is situated,
but there is no doubt about it that 1t
has subtle psychological effect in
bringing everybody on the place to
more cheerful frame of mind.
There is something depressing
about a weather-beaten, implanted
house that cannot fail to have its eff
feet upon the temper and disposition
of it's occupants. They cannot have
quite the cheerfulness and buoyancy
that comes from beautiful surround
ings with the contagious suggestion
of cheerfulness and prosperity in
them.
Paint the farm house and the
farmer will very soon decide that he
must have farm fit to keep COM
pany with the house; he will decide
that he must clean up the ragged
patches and stop the ruinouB gulleys,
and cure the CALLED and sickly spots,
and he will presently begin to take
more interest in his own appearance
also. 1t is impossible to tell just how
far-reaching are the effects of prop
erly painted and beautiful farm
house.
Nor will this good influence stop
with the individual farmer. His
neighbors will presently become
ashamed not to have equally attract
i've homes for themselves, and the

neighborhood might soon become a
neighborhood of painted farm
houses, and then this neighborhood
might, by the same process, awaken
the emulation of other neighborhoOds
and spread the good work still fur
Their.
Not only is it worth while to paint
the farm house for the sake of the
beauty gained and also for the sake
of the cheering effect upon the per-
sons who live in it, but it is also
worth while as a matter of simple
economy. Lumber is already eXpen-
sive, and becoming more so all the
time, and paint lengthens the life Of
the lumber.
The south is today the only section
of the country in which the painted
house is not the rule rather than the
exception. There might have been
some excuse for our backwardness in
this matter when cotton was selling
for or cents a pound and farm
lands worth 81 to SO an acre, but
for the condition to exist today is an
Indictment of our civilization. Our
farmers have money enough to ena-
BILE them to paint their houses, and
there is no excuse for their not doing
1t.
We would like to have every read
er enlist himself or herself in this
crusade for well painted farm homes
in the south. OF course the farmer
who has had {. great deal of sickness
in his family or similar misfortune,
or who is struggling to pay off a
mortgage, may be excused; but we
should like for the painting habit to
become so contagious among all 9TH
ers as to make people say: eff the
prosperous farmer has not painted
his house he is not a reader of the
Progressive Farmer" And even the
man who feels that he cannot yet
afford to paint, the small farmer in
debt, the tenant, can whitewash his
buildings. Whitewash is wholesome
and will make the lowliest home look
neat and thrifty and cheerful.

from Governor Smiths supporters to
the effect that he owes it to the peo-
pie who elected him on a definite
declaration of principles to stick to
the governorship until he has work
ed out these reforms. This comes,
too, from his strongest personal
friends-men who sense the personal
ambition of the governor and know
the high honor embedded in elevation
to the United States senate. But they
contend that his time may come in
the future, and that he can well i'm
measurably strengthen himself with
the people by laying aside ambition
at this critical period to pursue the
steadfast course as expressed by his
constituents at the polls.

A VERY OLD TROUBLE.
From Good wins Weekly.

Whenever the stock market Is all
ing-because the spring-wheat coun-
try needs rain, or because Mr.. Nor
gan is said to have indigestion, or
the Interstate commission makes a
new ruling-a gloomy chorus re-
peats that the bases Of financial
calculation have been radically chang
ed within five years because brand
new factor has been introduced
namely, the invasion, by the Govern
ment, Of the field Of private bust
ness enterprise.
Government has been invading the
field of private business enterprise
time out of mind. For example
Crassus was the ablest captain of in
dustry of his day. observing" says
Plutarch, "how liable the city was
to fires, by reason of the houses
standing SO near together" he
trained a large body of slaves until
they became expert fire fighters
I
When a fire broke out Crassus
promptly appeared ito buy the
houses that were on fire and those
in the neighborh0od which, in the
danger and uncertainty, the propri
etors were willing to part with fol
little or nothing" Having bough
| the houses, Crassus turned loose hi
fire fighters and put out the blaze
so that the greatest part of ROM
at one time or another came int
his hands" That was certainly
splendid stroke Of private busines
enterprise. But in the course o
time Augustus organized fire com
panies and put out the fires TO
nothing. The trouble of which ou
friends complain is really as oil
as the hills.

IN LATE WINTER
AND EARLY SPRING
We seldom feel JUST RIGHT

At such time MSPARILlA is the best and
safest Blood Purifier, the most successful
prescription for spring humors and such
disorders of the blood as boils, pimples,
pustules, blotches, sores and cutaneous
eruptions. Kasparilla is admitted to be
the best remedy for that lack of energy
and the peculiar debility so prevalent
during the close of winter and the opening
of spring. For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating healthy activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath. irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels droysi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity Of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. II Is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
