We must come to the ti aie when a man will be as much ashamed of a gall ed, gullied, unkempt field as of a dirty, ragged, ill-smelling coat; as much ashamed of a thin, starved, mistreated hillside as of a thin, starv ed, mistreated horse, and when he will take as much pleasure in re storing a worn-out f\eld to life and comeliness, making the waste places glad, as he would in feeding a half starved brute itself mistreated by some brute iu human form. The Al mighty has given the land as a her itage for all generations; and we must repeat that the man who abuse's and wastes this heritage (in which the Lord gives him only a life interest after all) is just as culpable, just as guilty, as a guardiaa who misuses the heritage of orphaned and defense less children entrusted to his care. Well did Lanier feel and express the deeper meaning of our sinful land waste in the South when he wrote : "Upon that generous rounding side With gullies scarified Where keen Neglect his lash hath plied Yon old deserted Georgian hill Bares to the sun his piteous aged crest And seamy breast By restless-hearted children left to lie Untended there beneath the heedless .. sky, As barbarous folk expose their old to die.'^ -Progressive Farmer. "A government of i he people, by the people and for the people" is generally attributed to President Lin coln's originality, but Jacob Brown, who recently celebrated his 60th anniversary to the bar in Maryland, says the phraseology was under dis cussion in his school period in 1845 and 1846 and it -was believed that Henry A. Wise was the author. HOME TESfiSQ~ A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee. , To decide thc all important ques tion of coffee, whether or not it is really the hidden cause of physical ails and approaching fxed disease, one should make a test cf 10 days by leaving off coffee entirely and using well-made Postum. If relief follows you nay know to a certainty tLat coffee hrs been your vicious enemy. Of cou.-se you can take it back to your heart again, if you like to keep sick. A lady says: "I had siffered with stomach trouble, nervousness and terrible sick headaches over since I was a little child, for my people were always great coffee drinkers and let ur. children have all we wanted. I got so I thought I could not live without coffee, but I. would not ac knowledge that it caused my suffer ing. "Then I read so maiy articles about Postum that I deciled to give it a fair trial. I had not used it two weeks in place of coffee until I began to feel like a different person. The headaches and nervousness disap peared, and whereas I used to be sick two or three days out of a week while drinking coffee I am now well and strong and sturdy seven days a week, thanks to Postum. "I had been using Postum three months and had never boen sick a day when I thought I would experi ment and see If it really was coffee that caused the trouble, so 1 began to drink coffee again, and inside of a ( week I had a sick spell. I was so ill I was soon convinced that coffee was the cause of all my misery, and I went back to Postum, with the result that I was soon well and strong again and determined to stick to Postum and leave coffee alone in the future." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Rea son." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and fall of haman interest.' ! With Broten Hand Ke'ch-1 Whips Papke in Fierce Twenty-Round Ring Battle. (EY A. JAY COOK) San Francisco.-Ketcuoi i^o assass in- i>iivc? His middleweigat laurels from BillyvPapke, and that was about all. Tbe contest lasted the full twenty rounds, and the decision went to Ketchell, who earned it fairly enough.' Instead, however, of being a /'one punch" contest, it will be remembered as the battle of one thousand and one punches. As a reason of Ketchel's inability to encompass a knockout, it!, was given out by Manager Willis Britt that the Michigan boy had broken his? right hand in the seventh round, and from that point on his left had to do double duty. As the men went the full distance prescribed b'y the articles there was some dissatisfaction at the verdict," and there generally is in such cases> but it was Ketohel's victory all right. I? addition to putting Papke to the floor in the tenth round in the man ner prescribed, Ketchel did practically all the fighting in the concluding rounds. He asked no quarter and gave none but swung and hooked as effectively as his depleted strength would permit, and all nhis time Papke, who vras not clear eyed and far from being as jaded as his opponent, just held on. From the way the thing opened up it looked as if Papke would get inside of Ketchel's shifts and swings and topple the assassin with lifting punch es before the contest had waged very long. As the fight wore on it seemed that Papke's early round rushes did not so much denote a desire to fall to as a purpose of bumping in close enough to clinch. It soon developed (Courtesy lJiUsOw g Chronicle Tdegrapk.) PITCHER FOX EN. that Papke's best punch was a right upper cut. delivered while breaking, and he can claim that it was to this advantage to bring about clinches. In the nineteenth round Papke took to holding Ketchel's head under his arm. .He had the ascacsin in a fine position for a strangle hold had it been a wrestling match. Ketchel had hard work' to free him self from Billy's'-embrace, but when ever he could pull away, with the ref eree's assistance, he would return, to the charge and force Papke to the ropes with' body rips. Then came the twentieth round, In which after mak ing a few passes, Papke clung and clung until the final jell brought the battle to a close. Referee Roche at once raised Ketchel's right glove aloft to signal that the assassin was Btill the world's middleweight champion. Thousands of dollars were lost on the round bets. Even money that he would win in twelve rounds looked a fine bet for his admirers and they went to it strone:. They blew, as did i Ketchel. who bet that way himself.

Would you believe that the solar plexus punch never landed on Jim Corbett at Carson? An old sport who was there at the fight and represented a big paper that day said: "You wouldn't believe me if I told you-"that Fitzsimmons .himself didn't know how ha Knocked out jim Corueic, Would you." , \ ' "One writer declared that he saw Fitz clip Corbett on the chin with his left; another swore that a right hander, 'under the heart did it; still another was certain that an uppercut ended the .fight. To settle the affair we went into Fitz's dressing room to find out for sure just what did win the fight "Fitz was up in the air the same as the rest. He said that sometime during the round he hit Corbett in the stomach with a left, but Was posi tive that a right hand on the chin set tled the fight . We all scratched our heads and wondered whether Fitz was kidding or not He was steadfast however, and to, settle the whole : thing 'and . make it right, we decided | to; say that a left hand in the pit of the stomach was the punch.

A note of warning against the dam age which is being done to the im proved .highways of the State by au tomobiles ls sounded by Frederick Skene, ex-State Engineer and Sur veyor, in his annual report to tho New York Legislature. ^Mr. Skene, who was succeeded by State Engineer Frank Williams, suggests that "the traffic which produces this disastrous result must be restricted,,or new methods, however expensive, must be used in construction to meat the con ditions which confront us. "Does any sane man who has fol lowed this question," Mr. Skene asks, "believe for a moment that the first alternative will be realized? It fol lows, then, that the sooner the second alternative is adopted the better for all concerned. "Fines and license fees to any reasonable extent do not reach the root of the difficulty, nor will they meet more than a tithe of the ex penses involved." On the subject of highway improve ment Mr. Skene says: "The work of highway improve ment has greatly increased in the last year. Thc season was exception ally good for road-building, resulting in the completion of 809 miles of highway during the calenlar year, and making a total of 17S7 miles built to date. There are nov/ under contract 520 miles, and 103S miles, estimated to cost $10,624,910, are awaiting contract. ' "Within the last six years the State has built a thousand miles of mac adam highways and is planning to build thousands more. Millions of dollars have already been expended for the purpose and millions more will be required. The question of maintenance of these highways is but in its infancy. Neither macadam nor any other kind of highway will last forever without constant repair and maintenance, and the rapid deteriora tion of their surface from any cause means tho expenditure of more money to maintain them. "It is only within the last two or three that thc remarkable increase in the number of automobiles, as well as in their weight and speed, has made noticeable their effect unon the public highways. This damage ap pears to be caused in two ways: ."First-By the so-called suction of the broad rubber tire of a swiftly moving wheel (upon the finely com minuted material of the wearing sur face and binder, causing it to be dis I placed and thrown out to the rear, [ thus exposing the jagged corners of j the top course of macadam, which are in their turn reduced to frag ments and removed from place by tho same agency. "Second-By the direct picking ac tion of numerous devices now used to roughen thc surface of the tir? and .thus obtain a stronger hold upon tho smooth surface of the finished road, hy the use of chains and other ap pliances, termed in general non-skid ding devices and intended to prevent side-slfp pf th3 wheels, especially in wet weather, cr ct high speed, or at turns in the road. "It ls to be observed that speed ls an essential element in causing the injury in both the cases named. The higher the speed of the machine the greater is tho injury inflicted; The law now permits no greater speed than twenty miles per hour upon the open highways of the State, yet it is a matter of common knowledge that this law is 'more honored in the breach than in the observance.' '"-? New York Times, . '.'J-:'^: ...^ How to Get Eettcr T.oads. Concerning the proposal for the reduction of railway freight and pas senger rates in the South much has been said these last twelve months, but there is one form' of traffic rate production in progress about which little has been written, which is yet a factor of no small importance in the agricultural uplift of which I am writing.' To transport a ton one mile by ssa costs one-tenth of a cent; by rail, one cent; while to haul a ton a mile over good road costs seven cents, and over ah ordinary country road, twenty-five cents. It is the extortionate freight and passenger rate exacted by the ordinary country road that we are now .setting our j selves to reduce; we must bring the I ton rate down from twenty-five to seven cents a mile. Hence another .builder of the State I would mention is S. B. Alexander, of Mecklenburg, leader of the movement In which that county built highways which have made it famous. But the agricultural uplift is debtor not only to these ex pensive methods of road-making, but also to that marvelously simple and inexpensive, and no less marvelously effective, good roads maker, the split log drag. "With a three-horse plow and a drag," Mr. H. H. Williamson, of Rockingham County, tells me, "I have built nearly a mile of road in ten hours which in many respects was superior to .roads with an ex pensive machine." For another ex ample, take Griffith dirt road out of Monroe, dragged after rains this spring with two pieces of timber lashed tosether. "It will do your eyes good to see it," as a farmer ex pressed it, "road fifty per cant, better at practically no cost; a dirt road as smooth and level as the macadam streets iu Monroe."--Progressiva Farmer. Appalling Thought. A summer visitor who was trying a horse, the property of a New Hampshire farmer, with a view to buying him, noticed that after driv ing a few miles the animal pulled very hard, requiring a firm hand and constant watching. "Do you'think this is just the horse for a lady to drive?" ho in quired doubtfully. "Well," answered the owner, with an air of great candor, "I must say I shouldn't really want to be the hus band of the woman who could drive that horse."-Christian Register.

Why it is Best to Combine Fruit and Chicken Raising. In trying to make the most possi Die out of the poultry business, lt is desirable to combine it with fruit and to locate on land that will in crease in value. A high priced pro duct like poultry and fruit will return a big income from a small lot of land and will enable the owner to pay taxes without much feeling the expense, and the market for the products will be enough better in;such locations to warrant the extra cost. v The land should be planted to such fruits as sour cherries, Japanese plums, quinces and pears. Start with some of the best poultry stock in the country almost regardless of cost. Pick out a breed that has good practi cal qualities and, if possible, a breed that is not fully appreciated but for which a market can be built up. Most of the money in fancy poultry has been made by the first breeder* who took up a breed and brought it into the public notice. Put up low cost buildings. Better put the capital into stock and adver tising than into high cost buildings. If the poultryman-is.somewhat of a beginner and afraid to invest in high class stock because doubtful of his ability to handle it the first few sea sons at a profit, the safer plan is to buy a few hundred of the best eggs that can be found and gradually learn to breed and sell this stock. ' The profit from a plan of ' is kind will come first and mainly m the poul try, second from the fruit and third from the possible rise in the value of the land. The plan has worked out well for the right man with som? luck. On the other hand, there ls some thing to be said for the man who lo cates in the back country. It is safe,, land costs less and taxes are less, while purebred stock Can be sold al most as well from the back farms as anywhere else if the breeder knows how. In fact, it is a well known trait of human nature that the buyer pre fers to send as far as possible for his stock. If he "buys from his next neighbor he will expect to get the best birds on the place at almost market poultry prices; but the same birds will be shipped half way across the country at fancy prices, and even then give satisfaction to the buyer, who imagines that poultry that has come 1000 miles must be something extraordinary. In general, a breeder's best customers are his distant ones. If he uses them right, he is likely to get more than one order and some of the best orders are the second, tbird or even fourth ones from the same buyer.-H. B.

At the MacDonald College, Quebec, Canada, each hen of the farm flock yielded a clear profit of $2.52. A woman poultry keeper near the farm cleared from a flock of forty White Wyandottes $300 last year, a result of good management and good stock. A farm of 150 acres should carry 100 hens, which, rightly managed, will net a profit of $300. Poultry sells here at about fifteen cents a pound and eggs average twenty cents per dozen. The most favorable condi tions under which to keep, poultry are In connection with mixed farming. The stock does well kept in movable colony houses, about twenty-five birds to a house. Selection is necessary to get the best layers, and the Inferior birds should be culled out. Costly frost-proof houses are not needed, all that ls necessary being a dry place, for a healthy hen cannot be frozen. Professor F. C. Elford, Quebec, Can/ ada. Pon? try Notes. Remember, "good condition" does not mean ovcrfat. Our American breeds fatten very readily, making them ideal market poultry. Keep poultry free from mites by a monthly application of kerosene oil to roost poles, then dust with lime. Keep grit, oyster shells and char coal where the fowls can get them all the time.

Wadesboro, Special.-The entire plant and all property of the Rock ingham Power Company now building a hydro-electric power plant at Blew etts Falls, on Pee Dee river, was sold by ordjpr of the United States Circuit Court at noon Wednesday. Commis sioner W. A. Leland conducted the sale and announced that only one qualified bidder was present. D. H. Thomas, representing the bondhold ers, deposited $100,000 in bonds and hid in the property for $1,000,000. The proposed plant will furnish when completed, thirty thousand. horse power and many transmission lines to towns in the? two Carolinas have been contracted for and work was in progress on several when litigation commenced. It is generally under stood thai if tho court approves this sale that tho plant will be pushed to immediate completion: The Rockingham Power Company was organized for thc purpose of de veloping hydro-electric power at 'Blewetts Falls on the Poe Dee river, fifteen miles east of Wadesboro.' Large tracts of land were purchased and work begun three years ago. The work was pushed rapidly until the fall of 1908, when the panic caused the failure of ' the Knickerbocker Trust Company, of New York City, which corporation was furnishing th's necessary capital for thc work. The suspension of this company stopped work for a time but arrangements were made and the work re-begun. Then some months later the litigation between rivarl interests caused an other suspension and finally resulted in the order of sale upon the applica tion of the S. Morgan Smith Com pany, who hold a claim of $83,301.79 for machinery and materials. The work which has been done has cost more thau two millions of dol lars and it is estimated that it will take about half of that amount to complete the plant. The Wilmington firm of Hugh McEno & Compauy hold bonds to the amount of $310,000 and are the largest subscribers to tha bonds of the company. . . $jj That Womanly Devotion.
