While Fifth Is leading IN the Inter

means certain that 1t will hold the
margin. Two or three of the other
teams are showing good form. and are
liable to squirt sufficiently at any time

Gives Splendid Lecture

Sutton E. Griggs, the colored
lecturer and Secretary of the
National Baptist Educational
Society for his people, met a
large audience at the court house
Monday night, March End.
Quite a number of white men
attended, by invitation, for
whom special arrangements had
been made.
A nice program Of music,
~recitations, ETC., with prayer
and singing came before the
lecture. The subject was Ma
lures Dream for the American
Negro" The speaker, who
seemed at home on the platform,
avoided allusion to any subject
that would tend to mar the
harmony that he earnestly in
sisted seould exist between the
races and showed in a clear
logical way how the could be a
mutual help to each other.
He said the negro was not
voluntarily here, being brought
from his native African home by
the white man as a slave to clear
up the forest and till the soil of
the Sunny Southland and make
of it the Garden Spot of these
United States. He was not &C
cidently here but in answer to
an over ruling providence that
could foresee in this a way to
prepare him for a higher and
nobler civilization that he might
some day help to redeem his
race from ignorance and super
stition that prevailed in Africa.
Religion, education and industry
were the cardinal principles up
on which he was to build for
hin self 2 place in the history of
the world. He told of his kindly
nature, his Astounding good hu-
NOR and his ability to see the
silver Innings to every CarI cloud
interpreted with anecdotes that
kept his hearers attention from
start to finish. He wound W
with a plea to the white man to
take advantage of this great
opportunity providentially thro-
VIZ in his way to throw out the
life line to a struggling race that
had caught the inspiration to do
and be somebody in the march
of progress that seems now to be
at full tide in the 10th century
of the christian era.

Cotton Boll Weevll has spread.
The successful production of
cotton under boil weevil con-
ditions requires:
Thorough preparation of the
seed-bed. lit should have been
deeply broken in the Fall or
early Winter and all vegetation
turned under
The selection of good seed of
an early maturing variety.
Planting as soon as the sell is
warm enough to insure a good
stand.
Frequent and shallow cultiva-
ton until the hollis begin tn open.
Gathering and burning every
Weevil that can be found.
AS soon as squared begin to
form, gathering and burning all
fallen squares and all squares
which show signs of having
eggs in them by faring and
turning yellow.
On account of the rapidity
with which the weevil multi
plies and the large number of
generations in a season, gather
ing the weevils and the punctur-
ed squares should never be de-
layed. It should be commenced
as soon as the first weevils come
out in the Spring and should be
continued until the crop has been
made.
Owing to the additional work
that must be done if cotton is to
be grown in spite Of the Weevil,
the acreage that can be success
fally handled by a given number
of men and teams is smaller
than where the weevil is not
present. 1t is strongly recon-
mendid, therefore, that each
farmer shall not plant more cot
ton than he feels sure that he
can harde properly. The land
released from cotton should be
used for other crops and for
live st)cF.
Every farmer, especially in
boil weevil territory, should en-
deavor, as far as possible, tC
produce everything consumed on
the farm. lie should grow al
of the feed for his live stock anG
should grow at least enough
fruits and vegetables for home
use. His condition will be very
much improved if he can have {
surplus of some other croy
besides cotton for sale.
The raising of more live stocl
in all parts of the South is 0.
great Importance. 1t is espe
cially important in boil weevi
territory, not only for the SAKE
of direct profits, but also OF
account of the value of manure

During the same period the falling
