The cottonwood makes a more rapid
growth than the catalpa on the same
character of land as described ana
will when from twenty-four to thirty
years old cut from $4,000 to 2O,OO0
board feet Of lumber per acre. The
cottonwood lumber is altogether salts
factory for farm building purposes
and in many respects is superior TO the
pine. The lumber is light. but tough
and strong enough to give excellent
service for farm buildings. 1t is also
used extensively at the present time
for Grating and other purposes.
Where it is impractical TO clear the
ground entirely Of its present growth
il is altogether possible that the stand
may be improved by cutting out the
least desirable trees and underplant-
ing the remainder with such trees as
the red cedar for the production OF
posts and poles or with white or Aus
trian pines for the production Of lum-
Der. These species will grow on al
most any character Of soil and. With
the exception Of the white pine. are
entirely hardy and desirable for plant
ing throughout the territory described
The white pine is subject to OCCASION
al injury by severe droughts or the ex-
treme drying conditions Of our summer
weather. and when used for such
planting Il should be planted only on
north slopes. where Il viii be protect

Tree Crop May Be Made Source of In
come if You Look Ahead.
In an article on The Care of the
Farm Wood Lot" c. A. Scott, state
forester at the Kansas Agricultural col
lege. says:
Inc care of the farm wood lot is an
Item in farm economy that should
deeply interest every farmer within the
hardwood region. Timber when left
to care for itself naturally deteriorates
IN quality and quantity Invariably
the best trees of the desirable species
are cut for various purposes, and no
thougnt Is given to planting desirable
trees TO take the place Of those that
are cut Consequently the harder spe-
c1es ultimately come to occupy the
greater para Of the land. Unfortunate
ly these hardy species are often uhdp
sirable trees.
An investigation of the general con
ditions of our woodlands reveals the
fact that the farmers usually class
their timberland as waste land or
practically such Investigation reveals
a further fact that this timber is grow
ing on the richest land within the
state. land that is capable of produc.
ing a maximum yield of valuable tim
Der and capable of yielding profit.
There is not farmer in the state
who would expect to make financial
success Of farming If he were to han
die his business on the same basis as
most farmers are handling their wood
lots. The problem in handling the
wood lot is simply this The unprofita
Bile trees must be cut and cleared from
the ground and the land stocked with
desirable species.
There are several trees that are en-.
tirely suitable for such planting. Where
the ground can be cleared and put TN
der cultivation the hardy catapa is
profitable tree for planting on the low
rich bottom land that is occasionally
subject to flooding. On such land it
makes a remarkably rapid growth and

Gov. Brown to Oppose Sen. Smith.

Atlanta, Sept. 30.-Gov. Joseph M
Brown will oppose Senator Hoke
Smith in the next race for the United
States senate. The governors friends
know this to be fact, and are plant
ing their political mines accordingly
There has been no formal public an
nouncement, but it is known on good
authority that Gov. Brown has de-
cided to run.
That Gov. Brown was anxious to
round out his political career by be-
ing sent to the senate has been an
open secret for some time past, but
that he had actually decided to lock
horns with Hoke Smith in the very
next election was not known with
certainty until few days ago whep
the activity of some of his political
allies let the cat out of the bag.
They are saying positively and appar-
emily with authority that the gov
ernor is going to run, and they eare
already at work.

CHRISTIE A BARNWELL MAN,
Untimely killing of Augusta Citizen
Deplored at Old Home.

Barnwell, Sept. 2S.-The news of
the killing of Mr.. Robert V. Christie
by a militiaman in Augusta was a
great shock to his many friends here.
where he has been known and we'll
liked since boyhood. 1t is indeed
hard for them to believe that Bob
whose young manhood held out SO
much promise of future success, is
dead, and that he should have met
death in such a manner is doubly
hard.
His mother, Mrs. L. c. Christie, Of
Barnwell; his sister, Mrs. A. NJ.
Wray, of Memphis, Tenn, and aunt;
Mrs. Charlie Brown, left here this
morning for Augusta. 1t is under
stood that the funeral will be held
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
He is survived by his wife and lit
tie daughter, aged four, of Augusta,
his mother, sister and three broth
ers, two of whom live in Macon, Ga.
The sympathy of a host Of friends
goes out to them in their great hour
of trial.

WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH.
Mrs. j. Nj. Bouknight, of Lexington,
) Meets Tragic Death.

Lexington, Sept. Boone of the
most tragic deaths that has ever oc-
Cured in this county was that of
Mrs. Jacob NJ. Bouknight, the wife
of we'll known and prominent
farmer of the Black Creek section of
this county. When her husband
arose on Saturday morning he built
a fire in the kitchen stove and also
in the fire place before going to his
gin short distance away. He had
been gone hardly fifteen minutes
when he was attracted by the
screams of his wife, and, rushing
back to the house he found her en-
veloped in flames. Before the fire
could be extinguished all of her
clothing was burned from her body
and the injuries of the unfortunate
woman were beyond the aid of hu-
man skill. Mrs. Bouknight fingered
in the agonies of pain until l o'clock
Saturday night, when death came.

Cleaner Money.

Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Bailey's compaign for cleaner
currency is already producing salts
factory results. BY January l next,
money-washing machines will be in
operation at the Chicago, Cincinnati,
St. Louis and New Orleans Sub
Treasures, with the possibility that
machines will be installed in banks
and department stores in the larger
cities.
This is a reform of real merit. 1t
is not merely that the cleaner treas
ury and bank notes will crafty the
aesthetic sense. They will obviate the
possibility of contagion which is ever
present in germ-laden bills. Some
of the paper money in circulation
even in New York is distinctly filthy
and tainted, in the worst meaning of
the word.
Doubtless laundering soiled money
is the best substitute our plan of cir
culation affords for the English sys-
tenn of fresh issues. But it is gratify-
ing that cleaner currency is at last
in prospect. Considering the public
vigilance against disease dissemina-
ton in other ways, We have been de-
cidedly dilatory in dealing with the
menace of currency peculiarly
adapted to convey infection.-N. Y.

to mankind, not only in quieting the
rowdy youngster, but in stimulating
a healthy imagination and affection.
Five hundred years before Christ lit
tie girls had dolls; there is sure evil
dence of it. and Edward Lovett, an
enthusiastic collector, has doll from
those dim ages. 1t is little more than
a battered stick now, but is unmis-
takably doll No one could name
fair value for such a. prize, which
stands out as proof that the child
of to-day is singularly like her little
sisters of some twenty-five hundred
years ago.-Dundee Advertiser.

A CRIPPLED NEWSBOY'S GIFT.
Permits Removal of Skin and Am.
putation of Leg to Save Girl.

Gary, Ind, Sept. 29.-A crippled
newsboy lay on an operating. table
here near a girl whom he did not
know and allowed the surgeons to
take one hundred and fifty square
inches of skin from his useless leg
grated on to the badly burned body
of the girl, and then amputate his
leg. The boy, William Rugh, had
never heard Of the girl, Ethel Smith,
IS years old, until he read an ac-
count of motorcycle accident, which
told she was so badly burned that
death was certain unless a large
amount of healthy skin could be
grated on to her body.
"My leg was useless, never had
been any good to me, so l offered to
give it up to save the girls life, y
was the boys explanation of why he
made the sacrifice.
When it became known that Rugh
had made such an offer a general
protest went up, led by the girls
mother. Letters came from all over
the country advising against the op-
GRAFTON.
Seeing her daughter gradually
nearing deaths door yesterday, the
mother reluctantly announced that
she would agree to the unusual op-
Grafton. Arrangements quickly were
made, and to-day the surgeons re-
moved the skin from the useless,
healthy leg of the boy and patched
them on to the girl. The operation
also caused postponement of a we'd
ding. DR.. J. A. Craig, surgeon in
charge, was to have been married
to-day to Miss Mary Arnold, of Le-
banon, Pa. When he learned the op-
Grafton was made possible by the
mother waving her protest he hur-
ried to Gary and oficiated.

Maude Iroler, the girl whom the de-
tectives in the pursuit of Wesley Ed
wards and Sidna Allen followed to
Des Moines, a., to the hiding place
of the fugitives, was in Roanoke yes
terday.
In discussing his daughters con-
nection with the Allen case captures
he denied with much indignation that
she had knowingly given assistance
to the officers. She had not the
faintest idea that she was being fol-
lowed until after Sidna Allen was
arrested. Speaking of his own part
in the affair, Iroler said:
Il did not Intentionally give in
formation to the BaldWins. 1 spoke
to Oscar Mundy concerning the re-
lation of my daughter and Wesley
Edwards, and of their meeting after
the Hillsville shooting, but l did
not know at that time that Mundy
was in any way connected with the
Baldwin agency
Il have been greatly incensed ut
the report that | was helping the
Baldwins in order to get the reward.
Il did not want the reward at all
and | at first refused to have any,
thing to do with it. Mr.. Baldwin,
however, pressed it upon me and
finally consented to take it.
The mother of Wesley Edwards is
now Mrs. Mundy, she having been
twice married.
