This is to say, Cox is not espousing

too drastic and its principles in con-

But this is sufficient to put him on the

torium-Seek $1,000 h
il 1t was very plainly seenSthat chairs
were needed in the new school last
Saturday morning wnen the Halloween
School held closing exercises in the
Parker-Gray school building. The
large cumbersome benches were used
in the assembly room to seat the
children. They took up too much seat
ing space. The benches are good,
handsome and very valuable, but they
take up too much room.
Had chairs been used fully as many
more pupils could have been seated
and Snowden school could have closed
at the same time and place, instead
Of having to close at another time and
place. Anyone who was present could
see the necessity for chairs.
I; We are getting along very nicely
with our subscription fund, but we
need more money and we need it now,
. Ninety-five persons have given and
there are about four hundred more
who should give.
( We heartily thank those who
have given and are patiently
and anxiously waiting for our other
friends to come forward and assist.
Will you not help us in this worthy
cause ?: We mean you and your friends
Deny yourself a little and contribute
SO that we can place the order for
those chairs.
This school is for your children and
your children's children. They will
bless you for what you may give.

every well thinking colored man has

THE HORSE AND THE
OYSTERS.

An amusing story is told about
Benjamin Franklin, that good and
clever man of whom America is
justly proud. He had been jour
neying all day on horseback, and
was half dead with cold and IA
tigue. for it was in the depth of
winter, the wind was bitingly cold
and the snow was falling. When
the shades of the evening began
to fall he realized that it would
he impossible for him to reach
his destination, for it was still
many miles away. The wind had
turned to a hurricane, and snow
was binding him, and in the fast
coming darkness he was liable to
perish in a Snowdrift. He there
fore began to look out for a shell
ter for himself and his steed, and
great was his joy when he came
upon a humble little wayside inn.
However poor its accommodation
might be, he felt sure it must have
some sort Of a fire at which he
could warm his stiffened and al
most frozen Limbs, so he hastily
dismounted, gave his horse i'll
charge of the stable boy. with
many injunctions as to taking
good care Of it, and hurried into
the living room of the little inn,
which did duty as parlor, dining
room, and kitchen. In it's great
open chimney was the only fire in
the. house, and Franklin s disap-

that cotton was the only staple

found that the landlord and all

his temper, and when, after a lit

he turned to him. quite eagerly,
saying:

Sure sir, and you get he's en-

And did I remember to tell
you to give him his oysters? We
mustn't forget to give him his
oysters this cold day.
"Oysters! Why, bless your
heart, sir, no boss ever eats oys-
ters''
"You think not? Well, just try
mine. Take him a dozen on a
plate and you'll see what will
happen!" answered Franklin.
The astonished hostler went out
with the plateful, as ordered, and
a fSR minutes later every one else
had rushed after him to see the
wonderful horse that ate oysters,
leaving franklin the sole occu-
pant Of the room. With a quiet
smile he seized one Of the chairs,
settled himself in the very best
place before the fire. and com
fortablv warmed himself.
A few minutes later they all re-
turned with the stable boy, who
exclaimed Indignantly:

boss wouldn t so much as look a.

Wouldn't he? The silly fell

placently, as he warmed his hands

pECANs FOR EVERY FARM.

Inc nndncldl POSSIBILITIES III pc
can culture in Louisiana are lndl-
Gated by the fact that from one
parish alone pecans to the amount
Of about one million dollars were
sold last season. These were from
seedlings that grow wild in the
well-dtained aluvial soils. Had
these trees been grated or budded
varieties Of the Schley, Stuart, or
Success, the money return would
have been much greater, accord
ing to B. Szymoniak, associate
horticulturist, Extension Division,
Louisiana State University.
"Every farmer in Louisiana
should make a practice of setting
out certain number of budded
pecan trees every year," says Mr..
Szymoniak. Heretofore, a great
mistake has been made in planting
seeding trees or buying from I'M
reliable nurseries trees that were
supposed to have been grated, but
which, twenty years later, proved
to be seedlings. And even now
the fact the pecan trees are of the
paper SHELF varieties is no GER
tain indication that they are de-
sirable. It takes more than a
paper shell to make a variety
worth while to plant.
"Gn order that a pecan may he
recommended for planting it must
meet certain requirements. The
nut must not be faulty but should
be well filled with richly favored
kernel. There are many large
paper shells that do not fill but
are always faulty, no matter how
well they are cared for. Such
varieties should be avoided, and
in case trees ten or twelve years
old show a tendency to produce
faulty pecans it would be adgis-
able to top-work the trees by bud
ding or grating to good varie-
ties.
tThe pecan should also be pro-
life. Usually it is very difficult
to get both quantity and quality.
The finest pecan varieties are not
usually very prolific. The largest
varieties are also poor bearers
and produce faulty nuts. Some
INSCRIPTIONS nurseymen highly
advertise big paper-shell' varie-
ties which are valueless. Some
varieties, although fine pecans, are
habitually SHY bearers.
1.-The pecan tree should come
into bearing early in its life.
There are many good seedlings,
but they begin to bear too late for
practical purposes. Some seed
lings do not bear at all. Then
there are a good many paper
SHELF varieties that come into
bearing late. Others bear early
but later become shy bearers.
1.-THE pecan tree should be a
well-shaped tree, free from insects
and diseases, in order to be a de-
sirable tree for the orchard
''The medium-sized pecan that
has fairly thin shell that fills
well with well-favored kernel of
fine quality that cracks out in full
halves. is the best variety TO
plant, but the tree must be budded
or grated. Planting the seed
from a good variety of pecans will
mot give satisfactory results. In
size, there must be ninety pecans
or less to the pound to be Of conf

MANY USES FOR QUICKSILVER
Semi.Precious Metal, Much in Demand,
Is Becoming Scarce-Sometlmes
Employed as Drug.

Quicksilver is one Of the semi-pre-
cious metals, and is gradually becom-
ing scarce. The metal IS noted for its
many uses, besides the familiar one
in the thermometer. Its tendency to
unite with gold into an amalgam
causes its chief use. The mercury is
spread over a copper plate over which
the gold ore is washed. The gold from
its weight comes in contact with the
plate and is promptly amalgamated
with the quicksilver, from which it is
separated by heat.
Quicksilver is also known for its
use as a medicine when rubbed to
fine, globular powder with rose wa
ter under the name of blue mass.
Among the chemical compounds of
quicksilver is bchIoride of mercury,
made by heating a mixture of mer-
curic sulphate and common salt. This
is sometimes taken as poison and
results in painful and lengthy suffer
ing and in death. Quicksilver is also
very essential to the manufacture of
high-class mirrors.
