Several cases of poisoning, from
potatoes, the most recent being In
Leipzig have been reported Perhaps
it Is not generally known that the
green parts of potatoes contain
poison called solanin, o. grammes of
which is sufficient to produce bad re-
suits. There is always minute guam

Spirit Of Christianity.

There cannot really be sny doubt
that the spirit of Christianity has
more affinity for social system bas-
ed on solidarity and human frater-

and mutual antagoism. In competitive
industry one man may profit through
the ruin of others; In cooperative
production the wealth of one man
would depend on tina growing wealth

A TENAAT I, A LAND OWNER
AND DPROGRESS|vEF FARMER

j. C. Rayborn has quit being a
tenant farmer.
Mr.. Rayborn has been working very
faithfully as a tenant farmer in tn 3
section Of the state for several years
but during all that time he has had his
mind set upon the day when he could
teccmc a land owner and more inde-
pendent. and that day has at last
arrived.
Last season Mr.. Rayborn who was
renting a piece OF land southwest
or the city had good luck, but that
luck was directly caused by a lot OF
individual effort upon the part OF
himself and family. They raised a
good cotton crop and with good prices
prevailing he found at the end Of
the season that he was approximately
$4,000 ahead OF the game and imme-
diately Invested this money in fer
Tile farm in the vicinity OF Deese.
He began his first year as a land
owner out OF debt and Notwithstanding
chat cotton has been selling for low
prices ever since the season opened
he can now check up a profit OF ST.
III on his years work, and this is
how he accomplished it.
In October he went into the cot
ton fields with his help and began
gathering the staple, he worked early
and late and sold at the top Of the
seasons market. The first bales he
gathered We're sold for 80 cents, two
bales were sold for 2s cents and one
bale for 2s cents, IN The nnJ and IA,
still has the seed left.
Mr.. Rayborn has 70 acres Of good
land. ne is applying progressive IDEAS
and says he is going to make his one
uf the finest improved places in the
county.
