RESULTS THAT REMAIN.
Are appreciated by Lexington People.

Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after another, finding
only temporary benefit. This is dis
couraging, but there is one kidney
medicine that has earned a reputa-
ton for lasting results and there is
plenty of proof of its merit right here
in Lexington.

used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago

time. Our average rainfall In Ten
nessee is in excess Of so inches annu-
ally-more than is necessary for any
kind of crop, if we would but conserve
a reasonable amount of it. We can
conserve more of it than we are do
ing,
If you will fill three glass tumblers
one with sand, one with clay and
one with rich vegetable mould
then add water to each as long as it
will hold, you will find that the clay
will absorb twice the quantity of wa
ter that the sand will absorb, and the
vegetable mould will absorb four
times as much. This shows that the
more vegetable matter we get in our
soil, the greater the capacity for alb
sorbing water.
If we waut to conserve the rainfall,
we must prepare a reservoir of soils
to retain it. We can do this by sub
soiling our land when it needs it dur
ing the fall months, when the sub
soil is not wet, turning under vegeta-
BILE matter. This will prevent land
from washing.
Keep a winter cover crop when pos
sible, and turn under in the Spring.
Let the pulverizing harrow keep up
with the turning pillow. Never break
up land rough in the Spring and allow
the clods to dry out before pulveriz-
ing. Get dust mulch on the surface
and keep it there during the cultivat-
ing season. Start the cultivators as
soon as the soil is dry enough after
each rain, cultivating shallow but Of
ten. The dust mulch will prevent
evaporation. Never stop the cultiva-
tors during dry weather.
/ have been over much of the State
during the present cultivating season
and have seen clods in the fields
where crops were "laid by"-conclu-
sive proof that a good seed bed was
not prepared before the seed was
plantd.
We must also remember that the
finer we get our soil pulverized, the
more available we make the plant
food in the soil, and at the same
time making IL easier 10 conserve Ine
moisture so necessary to the growth
and maturity of crops.
With the coming of the first warm
days of the early Spring, We get i'm
patient to start planting. Instead of
ruching our seed bed into half pre-
pared soil, we should continue to pull
verize the soil. Kill the weeds and
grass that terminates with the first
warm days. We almost invariably
have cold snap that retards the
crop. We should get our soils in
good condition. Let the soil get warm
before planting.
These suggestions are based on
practical experience, and every
farmer will admit that they are good
suggestions, even if he has not been
doing his work along that line. Ask
him.

We often hear farmer say that
if he was able he would like to do
good farming. 1t is the farmer of
means who can afford to do, and of
ten does, poor farming. 1t makes lit
tie difference whether the farmer
who has 100 cattle to sell gets the
best price for his animals but to the
man who has a few it often means
much to him and his family to get a
price that is good. OF course we be-
lieve that the lareg farmer who sells
at poor prices will eventually bo broke
but he can persue a policy of bad
farming longer than the man of small
means.

neighbers.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved, That
being the case he can not be too care
full about unnecessary expenses. Very
often a few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
1t is the same as buying Chamber
lain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t
costs but a few cents, and a bottle of
il in the house often saves a Doctors
bill Of several dollars.

WHITE MINISTER, A BRITISH
SUBJECT, BEATEN AND TARRED
BY MASKED MEN In FLORIDA
Says He Was Accused of Advocating Mixed
Marriages and Was Threatened With
Death by the Mob

MIAMI, Fla, July 1s.-Eight masked
men waylaid the Rev. Philip S. Irwin,
white, archdeacon OF the English
Episcopal Church and head OF the
work of that church among negroes,
at the close Of his evening services
last night, carried him into the woods
and whipped him, and then applied
hr and feathers. He was placed in
a sack and taken to the business
centre and dumped out on the street.
Irwin, who is a British subject, de-
clared after he had been taken to
Police Headquarters that the men who
seized him told me 1 had been
preaching social equality to the ne
groes and had advocated inter-mar-
riage Of races, and that in the South
this doctrine was not tolerate
They told me-" he added, that
unless I left Miami within forty e. ght
hours they would lynch me. They
tied me to either a tree or a log
after stripping me and applied a
strap to my naked body about forty
times. The men then poured tar over
me and applied feathers to the tar"
Irwin told the police he was drly-
ing into his own yard when two auto
mobiles drove UP in front OF his hom :
and one of the occupants asked him
to lend them wrench. When he car
