BETTER THE LOCAL COTTON
MARKET.

No better time has been afforded
than the present for lettering the
local cotton market. This fall
another large ginnery will be added
to the already large ginning facili-
ties afforded here. This will make
three ffrst-class ginneries for Lees
burg, so that the very best facilities
should be afforded here for the dis
posing Of cotton ginned by these
plants.
Objection has been made here TO
the facilities that were offered last
fall. There was practically no COM
petition in the local market, it is
claimed, and the best prices could
not be secured for the cotton offered
for sale here. This caused a num-
Der Of Lee county people who would
ordinarily have brought their cot
ton to Leesburg to take it elsewhere.
These are conditions that should
not exist. Leesburg should be a

is no reason why it should not be
If there is the proper competition
offered here among the buyers. In
other words, more buyers are
needed. Every bale of cotton grown
and ginned in Lee county should be
marketed here. The courteous and
efficient managers of the local ware
house should see that Leesburg has
the very best facilities possible in
this particular this fall.
Leesburg can be made the center
for the handling of practically all
the cotton produced in Lee county.
With the very best facilities offered !,
and a genuinely live management
back Of tie local warehouse, such as
as Messrs. Moreland and King in
tend to afford this fall, the people
of Lee county should certainly bring
their cotton to Leesburg. Every
betterment possible to secure all the
cotton of Lee county here should
be made by those who have charge
of the local ginning plants and the
warehouse.

Lesson Of a Negro Farmer.

Sam Mccall il an ex.slave, ILL
terate and rs years old, but he is
Itheaching the farmers Of the world
some noteworthy lessons. He has
won fame by producing on his little
farm in central Alabama the largest
amount of cotton to the area ever
grown in the United States. This
is one bale to an eighth Of an acrea
of land.
Sam Mccall has developed me-
thod Of cultivation on once worth
less land which is so successful that
he thinks nothing now Of predicting
three and four bales Of cotton on
acre. or eighty bushels Of oats or
corn. When Sam was made free he
bought land to the amount of 100
acres. He cultivated forty acres and
the first year he made hardly en-
ough to keep himself. He conclud-
ed that with his limited equipment
and in view of the fact that he was
doing practically all his own work
it would be wise for him to reduce
the amount of land. He gradually
brought his cultivated farm down
to two acres, and for twenty-four
years has spent all of his time and
edergies i'll what farm experts call
oneof the most interesting examples
Of extensive farming carried on in
the United States. According to
some who have gone to Alabama to.
study his methods, the reason for
the ex-slave's success in agriculture
is due largely to the fact that he has
manufactured nitrogen in the soil
unknowingly by feeding the soil
bacteria with carbohydrates and
callulose, coming from the refuse
of the crops.

doned farm. Before he began ocul-

Let me be little kinder,
Let me be little binder
To the faults Of those about me,
Let me praise a little more;
Let nae be, when | am weary,
just little bit more CHEEKY,
Let me serve a little better,
Those that / am striving for.
Let me be little Drawer,
When temptation bide me wayer,
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that l should be;
Let me be little meeker,
With the brother that is weaker,
Let me think more of my neighbor
And a little less OF me.
Let me be little sweeter,
Make my life bit eompleter,
BY doing what should do
Every minute of the day;
Let me toll without complaining,
Not humble task disdaining,
Let me face this summons ealmy
When death beckons me away.
