AN AID IN EDUCATING
MAN BEHIND THE Pillow
Georgia Senator Advocates
Enactment of Bill for Ag-
ricuIturaI Extension.

To carry knowledge of scientific agri-
cultural methods directly to the man be-
tween the pillow handles, and thereby
increase the agricultural products of this
country by at least 20 per cent, Senator
Hoke Smith in a speech in the Senate
today urged the passage of the Smith
Lever bill to establish agricultural extern
sion departments in colleges OF agr-
culture.
1.-The annual value of our agricultural
products is. in round figures. $9,OOO.OOO
Co.," Senator Smith said. "If the in
crease as result Of this work were
only 20 per cent, we would have an in
creased value Of $1.sOOOOO,OOO. or a suf-
ficient sum to meet the proposed appro-
priation for 600 years"
Refers to Morrill, Bill.
Senator Smith pointed to the passage
Of the Morrill, bill for the establishment
Of land grant agricultural colleges in
each of the states of the Union, and of
the Hatch bill for the establishment of
an experiment station in each state. Upon
them the government is now spending
about $4.OOO.O0O annually. Much of this
money and of the $15.OOO.OOO appropriated
each year for the exclusively agricultural
work of the Department Of Agriculture,
he stated, IS spent IN investigating ana
experimenting to show how the best and
greatest crops can be raised.
There are students at those colleges
who are obtaining much aid from the in.
struction which they receive but there is
no sufficient provision to carry to the
farmers at their homes the valuable in
formation which has been and will be OBJ
tanned by the work of the colleges and
experiment Stations" continued the SEN
atOr.
Methods Proposed.
According to the plans of the BILL" he
continued. 1.-The representatives Of the col.
leges in the various states will enlist
farmers who, under the direction of the
representatives Of the Agricultural Col
lege, will test the value on their own
land of the information brought by the
representative Of the college.
I'm one place, the representatives Of the
college will teach and, by experimental
ton. demonstrate the best manner of car
ing for fruit trees. In another place. the
best system for feeding cattle and stock
and dairying and butter making may be
the subject of demonstration. Demon.
| stration will also be made in home eco
Monies and labor-saving machines"
In Europe, where such work has been
conducted. Senator Smith said, Is found
proof Of its value.

NO. 10
Bingham Was excellent.

The Wentwor h lecture
course ended Friday evening
in a climax when Ralph Bing-
ham gave his entertainment. He
calls himself merely an enter
tainer, so that those who had
not heard him before expected
several jokes, old enough to be
respectable, and few poems of
James Whitcomb Riley. As a
matter Of fact, Mr.. Bingham did
give the audience one Riley Sc
lection, but he read it so well
that it was extremely funny.
Mr.. Bingham is about the most
versatile entertainer on the
platform and he is top-notcher
in every one of his lines. His
talk, replete with puns and hui
NOR keeps the audience litter
ing constantly and at intervals
laughing loudly. His sing
ing is truly artistic; his voice
Is not a wonderful one, but he
more than makes up for that
by his, dramatic intensity. His
rendition of Danny Deever"
was splendid. As violin
player he is much better than
most men who do no other work
than drawing the bow. And in
his music he sticks to the high
brow variety. Mrs. Bingham,
who is a capable pianist, assists
him. Yesterday evening she
wore a beautiful gown. Mr..
Bingham, too, is something of a
piano player and one of his best
features is the story of the man
who played Hot Time" as a
waltz, polka, rag, voluntary and
funeral march. This stunt, as
Mr.. Bingham states, is original
with him.
This offering finished fine
lecture course. Next year, as
both Mr.. Williams and Mr..
Bingham stated, the course will
he even still better.

POAGE's S BURGLARIZED
Two Negroes Pull Off the Job
in Early Evening.

Wednesday evening shortly af-
ter closing time two negroes en-
tered through the rear door Of
Poage's shoe store, broke open
the money drawer and carried Of
an armful of shoes. Mr.. Poage S
clerk, Lloyd Hausam, had locked
up shortly after SIX, had had his
supper. and was on his way to
the postoffice. He entered the
store for stamp and discovered
that the store had been riffled
He Immediately gave the alarm.
The day before, Mr.. Poage had
given two vagrant darkies a
lift." D." They had rested in his
back room and absorbed a con
siderable amount of heat, and
mo doubt took a mental inyen-
tory of the store for subsequent
use. Suspicion Immediately
pointed to these two. Mr.. Hau-
sam and Mr.. Clapp soon had one
of them corralled. A rooming
house on Ninth street was search
ed and a quantity of shoes found
and soon the second party was
nipped. They were brought to
the store where Mr.. Keith and
Mr.. Peacock soon got a confess
sion-they acknowledged the
corn and were locked up. They
chose a very good time for then
operations, for if Mr. Hausam
had not happened in as he did
they would have had all night tc
make their escape. 1t Is
thought that all the shoes were
recovered.
The negroes admitted that
they had some dynamite to
blow the safe, and that
they threw it in man hole.
The Sherlock Holmeses sprang
up on every hand before the
hrg-le~s wegoacaptnred. AL
sorts of theories were advanced
some few tried to bottle then
foot prints. One said it was
the work of white man; another
said you never can tell, and still
another said, well III be-he hac
his nerve.

1.-THE Ulster.

itary academy Thursday evening
presented The Ulster" a com
edy in three acts, to a large
and appreciative audience at the
opera house. In every particu-
lar the production was a huge
success.
Under the direction of Captain
Guinther and Mrs. J. J. Skinner,
the cadets and the young ladies
who assisted them were thorough
ly drilled in their parts, 50 that
the play went off with remark
able smoothness. Captain Guin-
ther and Mrs. Skinner also ap-
peared in the east as Mr.. Flipper
and Mrs. Flipper respectively,
and as actors they were excel
lent.
Miss Mary Lillian Atkeison as
Sadie was charming. In spite Of
her bad cough, she read her lines
clearly and with expression. She
is still deservedly a favorite
with Lexington audiences As
Agnes Barton, Miss Nellie Price
showed her histrionic ability to
advantage. She, too, is ex-
tremely attractive ON the stage
and has become recognized as
one of the best of the local ac-
tresses.
Miss Ann Marrs took the part
of Mrs. Barton well and illustra-
ted the principle of woman's
rights effectively. Miss Marie
Bishop as Patsy made a be-
witching maid, and she drew i
a big round of applause by sing
ing a bit Of a song.
Miss Marguerite Bates com
pleted the feminine contingent of
the cast. Her appearance just
before the close of the play
brought one of the loudest laughs
Of the evening.
Besides Captain Guinther the
best of the male Thespians was
j. d. Dyrenforth, who took the
part of Professor Barton. He
made his part ineligible to the
whole house and provoked much
mirth. Paul Hill and j. w. Jones
played the handsome young
lovers of Sadie and Agnes in
good shape.
William Mitchell in his grotes-
que makeup as Peter Jones was
splendid. His appearance would
cause laughter every time. Teller
Harper, who doubled as Mike and
Burton made the most of his
meagre possibilities. He is
really a professional and it was
he who superintended the make
ups.
K. E. Goss as the butler, c..
r, Tonkin as the coachman, II. d,
Adar as the detective and G..
W. Fritzlen as the lawyer had
small parts but did well with
them.
Between the second and third
acts the academy quartet, con-
sisting Of Cadets Jacobia, Evans,
Stoops and Krake gave a vaude-
vile stunt, which was one of the
big features of the evening. The
rendition of "The Baboon Baby
Dance" was a big sensation.
An orchestra of twelve pieces
filled in the intermissions, so
that there was not a dull moment
from the opening to the close OF
the show
