KILLS THREE, WOUNDS ONE. Negro, Barricaded in Cabin, is Then Killed by Mob. Carlisle, Ark., September 12.? Jack Bowers, a negro, today shot and killed his wife at the home of another negro near here, fired into a sheriff's posse, killing Dr. W. H. urawrord and J. n. jonnson, a constable, and probably fatally wounded Chester Crawford and was shot to death when a mob riddled with ^ bullets the cabin in which he barricaded himself. Three other negroes, who were in the cabin, surrendered and were placed in jail at Lonoke. A strong guard was maintained at the prison tonight to prevent mob violence. * 1 Mr. Brabhani's Tinted ^otton. So many persons are writing me in regard to "tinted cotton" till I am forced to answer these parties through the press. A Bostonian writes me that I am pirating Mendel. This Hungarian monk wrote his "laws" in IS65, but they were lost to the world until 1900, and all of my theories were worked out before I ever heard of _ _ s Mendel. Luther Burbank, had he worked along lines similar to mine, would f have been a great aid, but his work has been confined to horticulture, and not agriculture. Therefore it would be impossible to have Burbank as a guide. * I have studied both Darwin and f? 'Huxley, but their works are confined to animals, and not plant life. None of the botanists refer to plant breeding; they merely classify plants and even if they had laid down all the laws of plant breeding, and had done it in the same way that they have classified and named ; the different plants, I could not understand much, for the scientists, from the Mohammedan ascendancy down (to some 500 or 600 years ago, r used Arabic for all scientific puri poses. When Greek and Latin > tongues ceased to speak, then the professions changed from Arabic to Greek and Latin, because these languages were dead, and, therefore, the names they used in the , sciences would ever be the same. All living 4 languages change, while a dead language cannot change. So the botanists have done me no good, y. To the Bible I owe one idea: the 1/ changing of the color of Laban's fv cows by Jacob. But I refuse to accept the way Moses said he did it? fd est?by placing streaked sticks in the drinking troughs. Jacob merely bred cows of a different color together. He put new and different blood into his father-in-law's herd. This is not the only mistake made 5 by Moses. He looked upon the i "manna and quail" as a miracle. The manna-bearing oak is there today bearing the same' manna that the J Jews ate in the wilderness. No kind of birds fear man when they have . never seen man before. Ask the old settlers of the West of the pigeons, when any one could catch a wagon load by hand as fast as they could 4 break their necks and throw them jr. < in?o a wagon. All travellers in unknown lands?where man-has never * \ s been?know of the tameness of all fowls. W "Back to the subject: < I ,am under no. obigations to any one for the mite I know of plant Li" . -St >. . | P breeding. The little I have done has been "done on my own hook," and this little clearly opens up one of the largest fields of science; a field that can be worked for thousands of years dqe ) by the most learned and dilligent of % men, and even then no inroad will be made into it. As Sir Isaac Newton saw "the great ocean of truth beyond,^ the plant breeder 10,000 years from now can say the same thing. Not of astronomy as Newton did, but of plant breeding, the youngest, the least known, but one of the most imnortant of the sciences. As yet it is a trackless field. There ? are no signboards along the road, and until some one lays down more laws than did Mendel the traveler v. must "go it blind." But the fascination along this unexplored path is wonderful, and the further we go ?/ the greater the fascination becomes. To my humble way of thinking the man who communes with nature, learns a smattering of nature, isN inclined to think that God is nature and nature is God. Were God a be^ ing in the shape of man He would fc' have to be many billions of men at once to be everywhere?omnipresent. Nature is everywhere, therefore we must think that God and nature mean the same thing.?A. W. Brabham in the News and Courier. 4 i His Pet Wing. * Pat, who was left-handed, was bef> * ing sworn is as a witness in the Westside court of Denver. "Hold up your right hand." said r the judge.

L| BIRDS SIXG AS GUNS ROAR. Tlirushes, Finches and Nightingales Spurred by Cannon. } 1 A nightingale doipg its ambitious j best to lift its song above the roar of \ a battery of heavy guns has so astonished a British 'Soldier at the , front in Northern France that he ( writes home about it. "I will roar * you, an ' twere any nightingale" may | j not be so far-fetched after all. It ( will be a disappointment to the poets ^ who from time immemorial have consigned the "sweet bird, that shun'st ^ the noise of folly" to quiet forest ( sanctuaries. Moreover, all the birds j seem to like the noise, our letter writer adds. Not only the nightin- < gale, but thrushes, green-finches, \ wood pigeons, and the usually shy ] golden oriole fill the bushes within a hundred yards of the batteries and } sing mightily. j Have we here the same sort of im- ] pulse which urges the dog to yelp j when our friend "tries it over" on our piano? Those who can endure them declare that pet canaries like an accompaniment; whistling will do, but the louder the better, and there must be many country dwell- 1 ers who have noticed the sudden < burst of song induced by a railway i train tearing through quiet meadows, i One would suppose, however, that < the ear which responds to the wriggle of a worm under bark or under 1 ground would be shattered rather ^ than pleasantly tickled by the re- i port of cannon. It is truly hard to 1 believe, especially in the case of Philomel, that this can be a matter i of esthetic enjoyment. Perhaps it's I just nerves, or it may be the same " motive that makes people shout in the subway?they want to be heard. ?New York Times. The Thorn well Orphanage. In view of the approaching Orphan-Work day, (Sept. 25th) on which day everybody in the State will be busy for his or her own Orphanage, I think it may be well, for the information of all concerned, to mention a few facts, about this Presbyterian home for orphans; for the Thornwell orphanage is owned and controlled by the three synods of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The institution is not an asylum, nor a reformatory, but it is a home and school for orphans, only. It is now full to overflowing, with some twn hundred annlicflnts waitins: for admission. Three hundred children are now in the cottages and schools of the home. Children with living fathers, even thought deserted, cannot be received. The children need and deserve help, but . the State should see that fathers do their duty by their children. Our boys and girls are not only ' given a good literary education, but are taught some trade and are enabled to take care of themselves when they leave us. The support of all these fatherless and motherless children depends upon the Christian public. Of course the appeal for them is made principally to Presbyterians, but as children are received from all denominations or without respect to the parents, aid from any and everybody is appreciated. The plan of Orphan-Work day is to interest young and old to help us by their labors. Contributions are made by these on the Sunday following (Sept. 26th) and the gifts A1^<3 rhK /% o/1/1rAOc?

The Island of Ascension, in the Atlantic, belonging to Great Britain, is of volcanic formation, eight miles by six in size, and has a population of about 450. It was uninhabited until the confinement of Napoleon at St. Helena, when it was occupied by a small British force. It is 250 miles northward of St. Helena. Vast numbers of turtles are found on the shores and it serves as a depot and watering place for ships. Ascension is governed by a cap+ on-nm'-ntoH V>v t Vi ^ Rriti.ch ad laiu V/1X1 tv>u MJ vug ? miralty. There is no private property in land, no rents, no taxes and no use for money. The flocks and herds are public property, and the meat is issued as rations. So are the vegetables grown on the farms. When an island fisherman makes a catch he brings it to the guard room, where it is issued by the sergeant major. Practically the entire population are sailors, and they work at * most of the common trades. The muleteer is a Jack tar, so is the gardener, so are the shepherds, the ctnftnipn thp srrooms. masons, car penters and plumbers. Even the island trapper who gets rewards for the tails of rats is a sailor. The climate is almost perfect and anything can be grown.?London Herald. Call on Mack's Drug Store or W. P.
