SEVERE STORM VISITS DuRANr

The severe puffs of wind that ac-
companied the rain of Thursday night
did considerable damage to property
here, the most extensive reported
having occurred at the Durant Cot,
ton Oil Mill, where about half of the
roof of the large hull house was rip
ped off and thrown across the siding
tracks in the mill yards. COnsidera-
ble damage by rain was caused to
the contents of the building, but the
extent of this loss has not yet been
ascertained. Mr.. Pendleton, mana
ger for the company, estimates the
damage to the building at between
four and five hundred dollars.
At the same time Mr.. Pendleton,
who seems to have borne the chief
brunt OF the storm, suffered damage
to the probable extent of one hundred
dollars at his home, the Grider resi-
dence on Third Avenue. The large
brick flue was blown over about IL
O'Clock at night, and the suction that
ensued caused a large quantity of
SCOT and water to come down the
flue. out of the stove, and into the
two rooms, running two fine rugs and
several articles of furniture, as well
as wetting everything in both rooms.
In all parts of the city many small
outhouses were damaged, and liter
ally dozens of flues were damaged
and windows broken. At one resi-
dence a porch swing was blown
against the front door of the house
with enough force to crush the door
in, tearing the hinges loose from the
door castings. Many trees were strip
ped Of branches or torn down, and in
the business district many signs were
blown down or otherwise damaged
and window panes broken out.

Governor Williams wants the Leg

$4,000 for furthering the prosecu-
ton of the two-cent fare cases, the

tInuance of the cases.

Col b. M. Camp has over ten miles
Of hog-proof fence on his Hopkins
County Farm, near Sulphur Springs,
Texas But he has another proof
ing" process that is even more inter-
esting, according to a correspondent
OF tho Dallas News His farm Is
high-cost-oa- oa-living-proof." and his
method is very simpl. It is not pat
ented. It is Just like diversi-
ficatlon.
Colonel Camp not only makes his
living at home, but he takes time by
the forelock and produces and stores
food supply for extensive future
reference. For instance, after in
specting his spacious cellar, under
the farm house, about five miles out
Of town, and gazing with watering
mouths upon the store Of preserves,
canned vegetables, yellow yams, Ir-
ish potatoes, onions, home-cured
meat, and other things, visitor ask
ed how long the supply would last.
WELL" replied the colonel, after
casting an appraising eye over the
wen filled shelves and chests, Il
guess there's more here right now
than we could eat in five years--if
We didn't make anything else-but,
Of course, we will"
OF course, and It will be a largely
surplus money crop. First of all, on
the Camp farm, they make all the
feed, and then the provision for the
family. The surplus, including some
cotton. is practically all profit.
Colonel Camp has been living on
his farm for forty-six years. He
has been diversifying all that time
AS he expresses it, he was never
much of cotton man." and from the
very first started out to make all his
feed and to live at home. After for
ty-six years in the practice of diver
sified farming. he certainly should
know whether or not It is profitable
and advantageous. Here is his ad-
vice, based upon his own farming
career of almost half century:
What Experience Teaches
First of all, make your living at
home, divesifying, and raising your
own meat and feed. Make cotton
purely surplus crop, that you can
sell when you get ready-already
having you living at home anyhow.
Never make cotton a distress crop,
as it will be, IL you plant it exten-
sively or almost exclusively"
On his own farm Colonel Camp
has always put only the odds and
ends of his land into cottOn-land
suitable for hardly anything else.
Cotton is just a little side line
with me-" he explained. II am al
ways able to hold it and sell it when

PASTOR ADVISES HOW
TO CHOOSE A Wife
HeIpmate, Good Houskeeper and
Not Mere Toy Essential to
Future Happiness.

Milwaukee, VISA helpmate.
A good housekeeper.
A woman of sweet temper.
And-none other than a good wo-
man.
These are essential when selecting a
helpmate, according to the Rev. W. 0.
Wallace, who recently preached on
Choosing a Wife" in Bethany Pres
byterian church.
Recognize the folly of choosing a
mere toy wife," he said-"I mean one
that is too fine, too ethereal. She
should be one who can take her place
in life, sharing its burdens and re-
sponsibilitles and still keep growing
more bountiful in character.
ALSO look for a woman of sweet
temper. Nothing can take the place
of love in the home; nothing else can
supply its lack.
again, let me say, choose a help
mate who is in thorough sympathy with
you In all Of life's work, one you can
counsel with assurance that she sym
pathizes with you in everything. Such
a one will rejoice with you when you
are prosperous and will not accuse
and find fault with you when adversi-
ty strikes you down. To fail him then
or to chide only adds a hundredfold
burden to heart and shoulders already
nigh crushed.
mo more Is the man of our times
excused who makes lifelong alliance
with any one who, because OF her
habits, vanity or moral degeneracy,
has the marks of the Phillstine upon
her life. There is no sufficient excuse
for man to wreck his prospects for
life by tying himself to such debased
womanhood
There is no other subject, next to
their choice of redemption In Christ,
In which young people need wise, low
ing counsel more than In choosing FOR
marriage. There is grave possibility
of making a mistake, for getting mar
ried does not insure happiness, for
having made mistake and taken the
marriage vows, there Is no honorable
release"

Tins Given Negro at Alabama College
Would Mako a Small
Fortune.

birmingham, Ala.-Fifty-two years a
servant in one place Is the record Oh
Uncle Abe Mckinney, who has waited
on the dining table Of the Judson te'
male college at Marion, In this state
ever since 1864. He Is personally
known and affectionately regarded by
thousands of women all over the coun-
try who have attended that institution
since the civil war. The alumnae OF
Judson recently donated enough to re-
store his home, which was destroyed
by fire.
Uncle Abe is an old negro of war
times. His record for the same job at
the college is said to be the longest In
the country. Nearly everybody in Ala
bama and the south knows him, ana
his tips during his long service would
make a small fortune.
In Marion there are almost twenty
antebellum negroes whose attachment
and service of early life bound them
until death in the esteem of the white
race. None are better known and
more highly esteemed than Uncle Abe.
He is still on the job, which he says
he will hold down until he dies.
When DIR. o. L. Shivers was called
by the trustees to Judson to take
charge of the boarding department in
an effort to keep the institution going
when Alabama was PROSTATE from war
he carried Uncle Abe with him, and the
old negro has served through many ad-
ministrations. At commencement time,
when many seniors and alumnae re-
turn for the ceremonies, fat purse Is
always made up for Uncle Abe.
