Booker T. Washington.

Tuskegec, Ala, Nov. 14.-Book
Ell 7. Washington, negro educator,
lecturer, author and recognized
leader of his race in America, died
at his home here early today, four
hours after his arrival from New
York.
In recording the death of Book
er T. Washington it is not extrav
agant to say that a great man is
dead. If the seed he planted ger
inmates and the harvest he hoped
for ripens it may be that history
will give him a place which few
or none would now venture to
claim as his. History and his
work are too well known to make
rccapitulation necessary. 1t may
be said. however, that his history
was one of the most remarkable of
modern times, and his work was
the attempt to drag a whole race
Cup from slavery to the moral,
intellectual and material heights
which he had himself attained,
Surely such an ambition is the
most worthy and exalted that a
mind could entertain. 1t could
find Judgment only in a brain and
heart of the finest quality; and the
stupendous task of carrying itinto
effect would be undertaken only
by a spirit whose dauntlessness
knew no Encouragement. 1t IS
impossible to read Cup From
Slavery" that self. written story
Of, Washington's life, without a
Strong thrill of sympathy for the
man who tells it with such modes
ty, simplicity, sincerity and sense;
naught ex~tenuating, and nothing
setting down in malice. Without
doubt it is the most remarkable
autobiography ever r tier.
While it never voices a word OF
complaint, to read it is to realize
the tragedy of life to one OF his
race 20 whom has been given the
mower to gee, to think..and to feel

Purpose-The greatness and
future of the $1,000, 600 men,
women and children who live in
the open country and in rural
villeges must have more adequate
opportunity for wholesome and
remunerative living than hereto
fore. This calls for leadership
which can come to rural COM
munities only through the high
est degree of education of a Gull
tural and practical kind. Much
of this must come about by the
cooperation of Nation, State,
and local community through all
the different agencies now avail
able. The most important and
indispensable agent in the &C.
compIishment of this task must
be the rural teacher.
The vital factor in education is
the teacher. Without the we'll
educated, broad-minded, SYM
pathetic teacher any system of
education can only be a lifeless
mechanism. Therefore, we must
look to the country teachers and
their preparation and see to it
that they shall be men and wo-
men of the best native ability,
the most thorough education, and

1t is to assist in finding and

The work in South Carolina has
been in cooperation with the South
Carolina experiment station and un-
der the personal supervision Of a rep
resentative of the department and sta
ton. 1t was begun in 1911 and excel
lent progress has been made by the
cooperative breeders. From the fields
of Dixie and Dillon cotton which the
breeders had planted in 1911 pedigreed
strains of these varieties, which are
highly resistant and productive, have
been developed, and their select seed
increased to the extent that in 1914
several thousand bushels were pro-
duced and sold for planting this last
spring That these seeds have given
good results and have been the means
of a great saving, to many southern
farmers, Is indicated in reports re-
ceived from the purchasers. The South
Carolina breeds have grown several
hundred acres Of pedigreed Dixie and
Dillon cotton, the present season and
are so well pleased with their results
that they plan to devote large acre
age to the work the coming season.
Since these breeders will probably
have large supply of seed for dis
posal as planting seed, in 1916, every
care has heen taken to safeguard
those who may secure this seed. Care
full inspections have been made of
the fields during the growing season,
and comparative tests have been con-
Quoted on infected lands at several
points in the south, as check upon
the resistance and productiveness of
the different varieties and strains. In
addition to determining their relative
merits as wilt resistant cotton, it was
found that all the resistant strains
appear only slightly susceptible to an
thracnose, and this season they are
almost entirely free from this disease.
The success of this cooperative
breeding work, not only in South Car
olina, but in Georgia and Alabama, as
well, will enable many farmers to con-
troll the wilt disease on their farms.

WILT RESISTANT COTTON
SEED NOW AVAILABLE

Washington, ID. c., Nov, 26.-The
L. $. department of agriculture points
out that highly selected seed of wilt
resistant varieties of cotton can now
be had in quantity from local grow
ers who have been cooperating with
the department, and that by purchase
from these reliable sources, farmers
may avoid risk of loss from mixed seed
or that untrue to name.
The wilt disease of cotton, which
has been very prevalent this season,
has caused heavy losses to many
southern farmers. 1t has proved a
serious problem in some sections
where not only has the disease ma
terially reduced the yields but has
spread to fields not known to be pre-
Viously infected. Already this disease
is present in thousands of acres of the
best cotton lands of the south and
may prove destructive for an indefinite
number of years. These facts should
serve to direct attention to the yalua-
bic work that is being carried on for
the improvement of certain varieties
OF resistent cotton for the control of
this disease.
Much of the wilt resistant cotton
grown in the south is of doubtful
quality and resistance. which is prob
ably due to the common practice
among farmers of securing seed from
their neighbors who have successfully
grown cotton on diseased fields. The
farmer who thus purchases seed. sup
plies others, in turn. the following sea

there are so many chances for deteri-

CLEANS KIDNEYS
II Your Back Hurts or Bladder
bothers you, drink let's

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
them with mild, harmless salts
which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their
normal activity. The function of the
kidneys is to filter the blood. n
II hours they strain from it 500
grains of acid and waste, so we can
readily understand the vital import
ance of keeping the kidneys actlTe.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much: also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also
TO neutralize the acids in urine so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot IN
jure; makes a delightful eTervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.

Those who may desire to purchase

must be remembered that where root
knot is associated with wilt in infected
fields, the problem of control becomes
more difficult and that it is not ad-
visable to plant even the most resist
ant cotton. The presence of root-knot
increases the loss from wilt and where
both are prevalent, it is practically
impossible to produce cotton success
