It may be a long, long way back
home-but "The Old Homestead
isn't far away. A wonderful enter
tainment that will cling to your
memory forever.
On Wednesday night Mr.. Alex
Blackman was the host of most de-
lightful Halloween supper, given at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
F. Newell. AS the guests reached the
gate they were greeted by the little
sentry, Master Reeve Lewis, Jr., who
was dressed in "ghost" costume
and who, by the aid of his paper
lantern, showed them the way to the
next surprise. The home was beauti-
fully decorated appropriate to Hal
Iowe'en. On entering one could not
help but feel a shudder at the
spookie appearance of everything.
After the supper was served the
guests spent the remainder of the
afternoon INDUCING IN spirited
games Of 500. All those present ex-
pressed themselves as spending q
most enjoyable afternoon on this
rare occasion. Those present were
Messrs. Alex Blackman, Clarence
Johnston, Frank Pickell, Marake
Harper, Kirk HaGlip, Reeve Lewis,
and Masters Reeve Lewis, Jr., and
Alonzo. Misses Berta Newell, Flor
ence and Edna Bondurant, Mrs.
Marable Harper, Mrs. X. T. Hazlip
and Mrs. Reeve Lewis.
Mr.. w. X. Baker has transmitted
to the Louisiana Orphanage, at Rus-
ton, the sum Of p77.L0 collected by
him from our people for that worthy
cause, and it is probable that he will
be paid further sums, which he viii
send in later. The Orphanage is
eleemosynary and depends for sup
port entirely upon the voluntary SUBJ
scriptions Of a generous public. It
houses Large number Of poor child
rem, bereft Of parents, and who
would otherwise be thrown on the
mercy Of a cold world, with no one
to take interest in their welfare.

rest, into whose fold every helpless

child finds welcome, the spiritual
mental and physical well being of
the child is given attention with
same care as if raised in q private
home. No one should deny this
splendid institution when the S. o.
S. call goes out. Some philosopher
once said, "A good man dies when
a boy goes wrong" The same is true
of the opposite sex, we may say
even truer. 1t is seldom that child
raised in the Louisiana Orphanage
is not credit all the days of his
or her life to the training received
there. By all means lend attentive
ear to Mr.. Bakers appeal for aid
for the little ones now or in future
under care of the Louisiana Or
phanage.
Since the above was written Mr..
Baker has RENTED the Orphanage
$16.15 additional funds.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEsT.

the supply Of American cotton, as
affected by the ravages Of the boil
weevil now covering practically the
whole of the cotton belt Of the
South, Mr.. Roger w. Babson, the
noted economist and statistician,
said:
"Our supply Of cotton will be
greatly reduced until the weevil is
controlled. The amount produced for
the next few years may not be more
than half Of the requirements of
former years. This means that high
prices may be expected both for raw
cotton and for manufactured cot
ton goods for some time to come.
Secondly, the South, which has
been a 'one crop country, win be
forced to raise other crops and be-
come at least self-supporting."
And Mr.. Babson goes on to pre-
dict that because of the eradication
of the tick, and Of its "ideal eli
mate" the South SHOULD be one Of
the most important stock raising Sec
tons Of the country"
If Mr.. Babson is correct, and I
believe he is, b golden future is in
store Tor the cotton planter who
takes advantage Of the great oppor-
tunity now presented
But, the planter only will survive
and prosper, even with the rosy out
look ahead, who is fit to survive and
prosper, for the day is past, if it
ever existed, when cotton can be
produced proftably except by one
who brings to the task intelligence,
thrift and energy.
There was q day, before the boil
weevil came, in our section Of the
cotton belt, when cotton crop practi-
cally made itself. Given q soil fer
tile beyond comparison, little sci
entifc knowledge Of farming was re-
quired. There were no problems of
drainage, fertilization, crop rotar
ton, insect damage to confront the
happy dweller Of our virgin lands.
crops were produced by
husbandmen who had only to
tickle the rich soil to cause it to
laugh out a bountifl harvest.
But those halcyon days are gone,
never to return. Our lands are no
longer virgin soil; our natural drains
are filled and our artificial drains neg
lected. We have no such thing a.
scientific drainage and this
in face Of the fact that we have q
semi-tropicI rainfall. Little is known
about fertilization and what is known
is neglected. And we have the boil
weevil, with whom we must share
? large part Of the meagre crops our
neglected lands produce.
So, while, as Mr.. Babson points
out, we may confidently expect high
prices in the future, that planter
alone win reap the benefit Of those
prices who produces large yields Of
the staple. He must make enough
cotton to share his product with the
weevil and still have q profit left.
How is this to be done? By sci
sntific, and by that ! mean intelli-
gent farming; by draining the land
md increasing its productivity by
fertilization; by producing food for
he man and beast who produce the
cotton; by intelligent cooperative
,ffort in getting the value Of cotton
n the market.
In a word, the Darwinian law Of |
he survival Of the fittest," always
It work, will settle the issue. He who
8 fittest to succeed in the race for
prosperity, viii attain the victory; the
lullard and sluggard viii fall and
'erish by the waysida.

accidents occurred ON corners 4
CURVES; eight at intersectmg eros
roads: eleven railroad crUssng

From the reports sent in to thf

causes for the accidents are hs'
