The Black Republic.

For over a hundred years, since
the white rulers were extermi.
mated in or expelled from Hayti,
the Black Republic has stood "a
fixed figure for the time of scorn
to point his slow unmOving finger
at. !" The then most productive of
all the West Indian islands, it had
sunk to the lowest depths of de
bauchery, degradation and squal.
or, when it passed under an Amer
ican protectorate, tiye years ago.
"Behold l show you a mystery"
in the changes that have been
wrought in this brief period.
Worlds Work for May is quoted:
But more remarkable than the
new streets is the astonishing sight
of squads of Haitians actually
cleaning the streets. Under the
old regime the chief occupations
of the male citizens of Haiti were
cock fighting and politics. The
refuse and the smells have departed
and, better still, most of the chill
dren have disappeared from the
streets. They are actually at
school where, by Haitian law,
they are supposed to be, but
where. by Haitian lawlessness,
only about 10 per cent Of them
ever used to be. About 4 o'clock
every week day you will see this
newly modified infantry coming
home in squads clean and, unfor-
tunately for the picturesque value
of Haitian highways and byways,
now thoroughly provided with
clothes. .-Vicksburg Herald.

win Establish New Mill.

With the view of furnishing the
planters of this section a ready market
for their products, j. L. Walker & Co.
have placed an order for Cotton ca
pacity mill for grinding and putting
into merchantable condition velvet
beans, corn, peanuts and hay; in fact,
any thing that is grown on the farm.
They will also have a Cotton capacity
'Egge Velvet Bean Dryer, which is the
only dryer on the market that will dry
the beans in the pod successfully.
They want to urge every planter in
this section to plant velvet beans in all
their corn, and they will guarantee
them not less than $500 per ton for
every dry ton produced. Velvet beans
planted with corn are much more prof
liable than cotton at Is cents per pound.
The beans can be grown over the en-
tire South, and are one of the most
profitable. as we'll as least expensive
crops ever producedS by the Southern
farmer. It can be planted in rows
with corn without injuring the latter,
putting the seed five or six feet in drill.
When planted this way it invaribly pro-
duces twice as much grain per acre as
corn, and Of higher analysis to say
nothing Of the fertility it adds to the
soil. This one feature alone will more
than recompense the grower for pro-
ducing the crop. Land that has been
run down, and worn out from growing
cotton for a number of years may be
readily restored to its original fertility
by growing this legume. Velvet beans
are rightly named, the money received
from the sale of them is all "velvet," !"
except the small expense incurred in
planting and gathering.
J. L. Walker & Co. will buy your
products at full market price or they
will grind for you at a reasonable toll.

Thrice Is He Armed.
BY Irwin S. Cobb, Of the Visilantss.'

armed that hath his quarrel JUST"
and our quarrel is just. All the
same, to make war successfully we
must make it with a whole heart.
We must hold it to be a holy war;
we must preach ahead, remember.
ing always, now that the Chinese
Empire is a republic, now that
Russia by revolution has thrown
off the chains of autocracy, that
we shall be fighting not only to
punish the enemy 1or wrongs in.
flicted and insults over. patiently
endured; not only to make the seas
free to honest commerce, not only
for the protection of our flag and
our ships and the lives of our peo.
pie at home and abroad-but along
with England, France-yet. and
Rsssia-shall be fighting for the
preservation of the principles OF
constitutional and representative
government against those heads OF
the few remaining great powers
who hold by the divine right OF
kings, and who believe that man
was not created a self-governing
creature, but a vassal.
Merely because we are willing to
give of our wealth and our grana-
ries and our steel mills, we cannot
expect to have an honorable share
in this war and to share as an
equal in its final settlement. We
must risk something more precious
than money; something more than
munitions; we must risk our man,
hood. We cannot expect En-.
glands navy to stand between us
and harm for our coasts, and
frances worn legions to bear the
brunt of the trench work.
Knowing nothing of military ex-
pediency, yet believe that, Tor
the moral effect upon the world
and for our own position, when
the time for making peace comes,
it would be, better for us, rather
than the securing of our own soil
against attack or invasion, that ar
American flag should wave over
American troops in Flanders; that
a Texas cowpuncher should lead a
forlorn hope in France; that Con.
necticut clock kmaker should invent
a device which will blunt the fangs
of that stinglng adder of the sea,
the U boat, and-who knows7-
perhaps scotch the poison snake
altogether.
Maybe it is true that, in our
mistaken forbearance, we have
failed and come short. Maybe we
have endured too long and toe
patiently; we can strive for all
that. But
Without the shedding of blood
there is no remission of sins.
