A New Agricultural "Conscience.
We must develop a new agricul
tural conscience in this country. 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.'^

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."

! 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.
Ketchel'E chances against Johnson
have taken an awful slump. If he
cannot drop Papl:e a much smaller
and perhaps slower man than? the
negro, ht does not seem to have
much chance against Johnson In his

CORBETT NOT PUT AWAY BY
FITZ WITH"SOLAR PLEXUS.
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.
V "No one knew just what punch did
do the trick, so by popular vote we
decided it ourselves, aud the solar

SOME SOUTHPAWS

New York.-Club owners think it's
"a dangerous thing nowadays to turn
down an'(offer, bf $10,000 for a star
left-hander. They point to Young
Cy Young arid Ed Karger to illustrate
their theory. .-Either man could have
been sold for 'this amount two yeara

they are not setting the American as

either.-Thii National league learns let
them drop out' of fast company, when
$1,500 would have procured either
man. A lieft-hander who lasts three

of his ability to clout the sphere.
Terry . McGovern In Bad Way.
New York.-Terry McGovern, the
former featherweight pugilist, was
committed by a Brooklyn magistrate
to the observation ward of the/Kings

nesses testified that his actions for
some time past indicated that his
mind had weakened. If the hospital
authorities take this view at the end
of-'a week's observation it is probaba

McGovern spent several months at

Stronger Highways Needed.
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.' '"-?

...^ 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.

POULTRY, FRUIT AND LAND.
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. W., in Boston Cultiva

Each Hen Yields $2.52.
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.

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. ITav? ****'. '** ? -??!>.r<>*3
There is no need of accidents, no
occasion to make the Fourth of July
a day of mourning instead of joy by
scenes of disorder and the bursting
of bombs in the hands of small boys.
No celebration at all, insists the
Washington Star, is preferable to a
celebration similiar to some we have
had in the past; but It is not neces
sary to go so far. Let the people In
sist that private celebrations be pro
hibited and let them ask for a prope^
public spectacle which everybody eau
enjoy.

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.
Blairsville, Pa., Special.-Clasping
her 12-year-old boy to her heart and
with the tears streaming down her
cheeks, Mrs. L. Cora Miller, wife of
Dr. W. L. Miller, now being held onk<
a charge of killing J. B. Sayler last
Sunday night, told her story of the
affair Wednesday. "I have known of
my husband's intimacy with his wo-J
man for two years, and, like Mr. Say
ler, rather than let the world put
shame on my boy, I kept slient. I
plead with this wcr?an to let my hus
band return to his family and was
laughed at. For two years Mrs. Say
ler ran after mp husband and turned
him away from his family. I love*
him still and stand ready to go to
him. I left Crescent City only last
Wednesday a week ago and thought
that if I stayed herc quietly ' with
my mother, perhaps ray husband
would miss me and want me back.
The doctor's business affairs are
tangled. However, I will stand by
him to the last for I love him bet
ter than I do my life."
