BARAcA CLASS BANQUET.
Evening of Great Pleasure Spent by
Young Men Of Baptist Barracks.

The first Baraca class banquet ever
held in Bryan was given at the New
York Cafe last night by the large and
rapidly growing Baraca class of the
First Baptist Sunday school.
About forty of the members of the
class and two or three invited guests
were present, and it is safe to say
that a more profitable and enjoyable
evening was never spent by a large
The class met at the First Baptist
The class met att he First Baptist
Church and marched to the restaurant
in a body.
The menu, prepared and served I'M
der the direction of A. Davis, proprie-
tor of the restaurant, proved that he
is an excellent chef, and the service
rendered could not have been better.
The menu, which was in the follow
ing order, was thoroughly enjoyed by
those present:
Sliced Tomatoes. Celery Branch.
Lettuce.
Cream of Celery Soup.
Roast Young Turkey.
Chestnut Dressing.
Cranberry Sauce.
Chicken Salad.
Jce Cream Cake.
Coffee.
Cigars.
After the dinner a short program
was carried out. which was enjoyed
very much by those present.
John A. Moore, superintendent OF
the Sunday school, made fine talk
on "The Sunday School and the Young
Business Men," telling of what an aid
to the young man it would be to be-
long to and be an active member Of
the Sunday school, and that in after
years of life he would find he could
hardly get along without it.
The talk made by j. r. Hare,
teacher of the class. on "The Class
from the Teachers Standpoint" was
received with much enthusiasm. He
impressed upon those present the
great need of a room to be used by
the Baraca class alone, as with their
rapid growth they were crowding into
the space allotted to one or two of the
other classes of the Sunday school,
and he asked that something be done
soon to get this room built.
A short talk was made by Dr. Rich
ardson on the National Baraca con-
vention, which is to be held in Waco
this year. He urged that as many
as possible should go, as they would
get a much clearer idea Of what the
Baraca class stands for and its aim.
w. c. Davis was on the program
for talk on "Baraca and What 1t
Stands For" but as he was out of the
city, f. J. Fountain Jr. volunteered
to make few remarks and made a
good short talk on the Baraca move
ment and what Mr.. Hudson, the found
er of the Baraca class, had in view
when he founded the first Baraca
class.
Marshall Bullock, president of the
class, who acted as POSTMASTER, made
a fine talk on "The Class from the
Presidents Standpoint" He laid
stress upon the social side of the class
and impressed upon those present the
great good it would do for all the
young men Of the city to belong to

TO EXTEND LIFE.
Society Formed to Conserve Health
and PrOIOng Life.

I1 anu 4AVAOAS A1lCs
Conservation of human life by the
systematic application of modern
science is the object of tine Life Elk
tension Institute, which was incor-
porated at Albany. At a meeting of
ifs directors e-x-President William H.
Taft was elected chairman of the
board and E. e. Rittenhouse Conser-
yation Commissioner of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, president of
the institute. He will sever his con-
Eection with the Equitable and give all
his time to~his new work.
Headquarters of the new organiza-
ton, which will be national in its
scope, will be opened within a few
kdays.
While essentially philanthropic, the
Life Extension Institute, unlike some
other agencies to promote health and
longevity, will be placed on a self
supporting basis from the very begin
ming, if the idea of its founders are
carried out. On it's board of directors
are a number of men with large means
at their command and the new health
promoting agency is heavily backed
with capital. Just how much could
not be learned yesterday from n Of
the men connected with the institute,
but it was intimated in we'll informed
quarters that $1,00O,00O would be at
the disposal Of the founders, though it
is not believed that anything like that
amount will be required t. start the
work.
On it's purely philanthropic side the
Life Extension Institute will dissent
nate ~life-saving knowledge, which is
to be supplied by sayants from all
parts of the world through the insti-
tUte's Hygiene Reference Board OF
which Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale
University, will be chairman. and
which be composed of some of the
foremost authorities on sanitation and
hygiene in the United States. Col.
William Crawford Gorgas, whose fight
against yellow fever in Hayanna and
in the Canal Zone has tended to re-
lduce the death rate there to a small
fraction of what it was, will be on this
boar das chief consultant in SANTA

this expert will be given to the public

Mule FOrty-SeVen Years Old Dies i'm
Swain County After Good Service.
The Oldest mule in Swain County,
and for aught we know the Oldest
mule inthe world, is dead. He be-
longed to Rev. Harl Cunningham Of
Swain, and was Al years old. He wTs
good to the very last minute and was
shaking irewood when he dropped
dead one day this week. This partic-
ular mule had something to do with
the history and development of Wes-
tern North Carolina, for he worked on
many public works in his day and time
and did his part toward building the
railroad through this section. For
years before many of the readers OF
this notice were born, this old mule
carried Parson Cunningham to many
~ home to solemnfze' a wedding or
preach a funeral, some of which ocea-
sions were SO long ago that the mena-
ory thereof remains in the mind OF few
living. Every old citizen of Swain
County has seen this mule at some
time or other and his taking OF so
suddenly is of more interest than
usually attaches to the death OF a
mule-Bryson City Times.

NEGRO MAKES FARMING PAY.
Starting with One Old Horse, Owns
$4,000 Plantation.

! Twenty-Five years ago Jonas W.
Thompson, a negro of Marlboro coun-
ty, S. c., began his career as a farmer
by buying an cid horse for SPOTS and
bv renting thirty acres of South Car.
DINA land for 400 pounds of lint
cotton. After four years of hard
work and close saving he was able to
buy a mule for 500 and also 81 acres
of land. Then he began renting and
working farms which belonged to
other men. Gradually he was able to
buy the land he had been renting.
He also found it worth his while TO
open a commissary.
Now Thomas lives in a twelve
room house and employs on his $40,-
600 plantation thirty-nine families,
consisting of 189 men, women and
children. He grows a variety of gar
der truck and raises his W horses,
mules, COWS and hogs. He has re-
ceived as much as $1,000 for his cot
ton crop alone-400' bales of long
staple. On an average he has saved

HOW no RNWA1FALPA.
Experienced Farmer Writes About
Growing Great Stock Food.
Pnlk Tnrnfv News \


lPolk County News.l
Mr.. F. n. Hulscher, an extensive
grover of Alfalfa in the South West,
who is at present stopping in Polk
County, has very kindly contributed
the following practical suggestions
aboct growing alfalfa, which we know
our enterprising farmers will be very
glad to read and carefully consider
for their own good.
He says:
Much interest is being manifested
in the production of Alfalfa through
cut the entire country and for the ben
eft of our local farmers we give the
following information.
Alfalfa is richer in the fat and bone
producing qualities than any other
food and stock pastured in it give al
most unbelievable returns.
Many farmers Throughout the north
ern States have found it dificult to OBJ
tain a stand and have become discour-
aged n made to believe hat alfalfa
will not do well on their soil while
the truth is that many methods were
used.
Alfalfa will grow on almost any
kind of soil but it must be we'll drain
ed as alfalfa will not permit of stand
ing water.
A sandy soil OF a sandy loan will
produce more and better alfalfa than
a heavy soil.
many years must be specially prepar-
ed in order to obtain a perfect stand,
and the best method is to have the soil
analyzed by the state agricultural col
lege which analysis may show the
Iced of phosphates or lime or both
and then, after adding these to the
soil, SOW a crop of COW pea in the
spring and urn this crop under when
near maturity. In the following Sep
tember, after a few civilizations to
keep the weeds out, SOW the seed by
drilling in rows nine inches apart.
The seed should be in~occu1ated with
the bateria of nitrogen which may be
obtained by applying to the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington
stating the amount of seed to be used.
The soil should be planted not TO
exceed one inch deep and by following
the above direction a perfect stand
should be obtained that would endure
a lifetime and need no further atten-
ton but the harvesting. Alfalfa must
not be pastured the first year but after
that it affords fine pasture for hogs
and should produce two thousand
pounds per acre. During the lastfour
weeks before shipping the hogs should
be. finished on corn or preferably on
peanuts, the, hay being first cut AMI
thenathe hogs turned land allowed
to root the nuts. Hogs produced in
this way should return at least one
hundred and fifty dollars per acre.
There are at present one and one half
million acres in alfalfa in the United
States and Kansas has two thirds Of
ghe whole, the balance being disribut-
ed throughout the country, nearly
dvery state having some. The Turkes-
tan variety should be used in this sec
ton as it resists frost very well and
does not require as much water as
other kinds. We advise our farmers
to investigate this subject and will be
pleased to advise any one contemp1dt-
ing growing alfalfa. -
