Southern Planter is Pleased With His Experiment. ?u oa rru~ \ ICESDUrg, J1I5S., .uaiuu ? iue ; taDgled forests of darkest Africa, whicb, in the eaily days of the nation, supplied the Southern planter with slaves to cultivate bis cotton fields and to gather his crops, have again been drawn upon by the farmers of the South. Professor Garner, of Washington, discovered that the monkey can pick cotton as well as the Southern negro He persuaded Mr. W. W. Mangum, of Vicksburg, to attempt the experiment, and the latter has just made his report to Professor Garner. Mr. Mangum says he has found it profitable. On his place near Smedes this winter he had 50 trained monkeys at work. The males weigh about 110 pounds and the females average 90 pounds each in weight. Bags were made fcr each monkey that would hold 25 pounds of cotton and the bag placed over each monkey's shoulder. It was surprising, Mr. Mangum eayp, how the monkeys learned to pick cotton. Baskets to hold the cotton were placed at each end of the rows and one man besides the monkey's trainer was necessary to take the cotton out of the bags and put it into the baskets provided. Cotton planters throughout the South have watched the experiment with a great deal of interest. Many have visited the plantation near Smedes to see the monkeys at their work. Mr. Mangum is enthusiastic over the success of bis experiment. "The introduction of monkeys as cotton pickers means more to the South/' said he, than a cotton pick ing-machine; for the monkeys are a success as pickers, while the machines, so far, have been failures. The monkeys are in every way supe rior to negroes as pickers, and the cost of picking is about one-third. "I believe this discovery is the greatest that has been made for the cotton planter since Whitney discovered the cotton gin." Next fall Mr. Mangum intends to import 1,000 more monkeys from J u? u ,~ Ainca, auu uo ueaiitra uiueis iu j'Jiu with him in importing a lot more to ' be scattered throughout the South. . . What is the Secret of Leadiag Children to Jesus. First. If a person would be successful in his work, he must cultivate a love for children. "We must feel that every man is a child of Adam, and that God has loved him and given his son to die for him; that every being on the face of the earth possesses a soul worth more than all the world. Just so tkos8 who would labor successfully among children must learn to love them, and must become familiar with their habits of thought and even with their modes of amusiDg themselves. Secondly. A man, to be successful, must have faith in the power of God"s spirit and in the power of his truth. He must believe the words of Jesus, who says: "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me." He did not say to all men, but all, even children. Then he must briog out vividly before the minds of the children the great fact that the Lord Jesus Chribt loved each one of them, and died a cruel death on the cross in stead. You Of?rr a/VK /N?1 I I?. ooj, c?cij tjuuuay euuwi sviiuxai iu the land knows this. I admit it, j but it is one thing to know it, and another, and a very different thing, to feel it deep down in the heart. I say that we must dwell on the sufferings of Christ until the children see him vividly crucified before them. They must see the crown of thorns upon his brow. They must hear the heavy lashes laid upon his bleeding back. They must hear the shouts of the mob as they cry. Away with him, away with him, crucify him. They must see the cross laid upon his bleeding, quivering form, and then follow him, sinking beneath its weight, as he bears it aloDg the way via Dolorosa. Tbey must hear the heavy mallet as with blow after blow, the nails pierce his hands and feet. Having seen him walk the seven sorrntrfnl trorc? frntoo loct i r\ J v?4U4 n iu/ui IUV iaov iv , the garden of Gethsemam; from the | garden of Gethsemane to the house j Annas; and from Herod back to j Pilate's hall and then to Calvary, j they should then be called upon to ! listen at least to some of the seven j sorrowful ciies which he uttered as ; he hung upon the cross; and the cry j reaches their ear?, "my God, my God, j why hast thou forsaken int.'"' They ! should then be taught that he was ' forsaken that they might not be for ! saken; that all these dreadful suffer- j ingp, especially his soul sufferings, which were infinitely beyond bis i physical sufferings, were endured in their s'ead. Then further, they should be told cf his death and burial, of his ascension and briefly be taught that God in raising Christ from the deud, showed his acceptance of his finished work. Then in a few words they should be told that he is coming again to judge the world, aod that there will be a great reparation on that da^: and that all those who loved and j trusted hiui here will be on his right hand, while those who rejected | him will be found on his left hand. I will leave the subect with you. Student. Hccky Creek Notes. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The health of our community is very good. Farmers are somewhat bebiDd with their work on account of the rain. The small grain is looking very well. The fruit will be a clear loss. Tee Red Star school, under tLe skillful management of Prof. R. K. Shealy, closed recently with a nice picnic, speeches aDd dialogues prepared by the school, which ever) body enjoyed. Prof. F. H. Derrick has a flourishing school at Verena academy and. Mr. Editor, there is going to be a picnic on the first of May. Come up and we will try and make it a pleasant day for you. Mr. George C. Steel, of near Lorena, is putting up a store. That's right, George," we are glad to see it. Mr. A. Vansant has recently put up a farm bell. Lookout, farmers, Addison is a bustler. Prof. Derrick, of Etheridge, had the pleasure of enjoying a bird hunt with some of his fiiends recently. Come again, and if we can't find birds to shoot we'll take hats and bonnets 8gain. Ask the Rrofessor about it. With best wishes to the Dispatch, j I sign myself, Rocky Creek. ?. Me and the Cat. Richard X is an incorrigible youngster of 10 who has shown a tendency to lay the blame of his misdeeds on other shoulders. His favorite scapegoat was the family feline. A jar of sweets could not be opened, or a bit of gingerbread purloined, or a vase broken to atoms, without a lame excuse of Dick's, "I guess it wa3 the cat,'1 calling forth his mother's reproaches: ' Richard, you must not lay tbe blame on the cat of all the wickedness you are guilty of in this house." Not long after one of these upbraidinge, in Sunday school, his teacher asked Richard the question, apropos of the devil's power on earth. "Who is responsible for the wickedness of this world?'' It was with a mixture of a contrite spirit and the old habit that little Dick answered: "Well, I suppose that I'm partly to blame. But?I think our cat has her paw in it." ^ Ten Beans for Every Girl. I ? With the bachelors outnumbering the maids in every State in the Uaion it ought to be easy for the unmarried woman to secure a paitner anywhere, but the region where bachelors are most in excess is, of course, the most favorable to the spinster, since, the abundance of unmarried men gives her a wider range of choice. From a matiimonial point of view Idaho is the best Slate of the Union, for there the number of bachelors is to that of the maids as 16,531 to 1,426, each unmarried woman in Idaho, therefore, having 10 or 11 bachelors, not exactly at htr back, but available as a husband. From most points of view the west is the Mecca of the young married women, for not only are there more [ unmanied men in the western J Slates, but a living is more easily made in the west than in the east, and therefore the western men are more addicted to matrimony. The Kidney Complexion. The pale, sallow, snnken-cbeeki 0, distressed-locking people yon so often meet are afflicted with "Kidney Complexion." Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip color. So is their complexion They m..y also hav?j indigestion, or suff.r from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, braiu trouble, nervous exhaustion and sometimes the heart acts badly. The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys. Usually the sufferer lrom kidney disease does not 2nd out what the trouble is until it is almost too late, because the first symp toms are so like mild sickness that tli-y do not think they need a medicine or a doctor until they find themselves sick in bad. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up and strengthen their weak and diseased kiduejs purify their diseased, kidney-poisoned b'ood, clear their complexion and soon they will enjoy better health.

After a fctav of three weeks at 1 Waldo, arid fetliDg much like home, I duty and business demanded us to ! bid it farewell, early on the mom | ing of the 15th, we started for Madi| son, Fl.i. We traveled about 130 I miles through a very level sandy i poor country. After passing several I nice little villages we came to Lake I City. This is an old town, yet it is a j very nice one with many attractions. J We only saw what we could as we j passed. N-. xt we came to Live Oak; j this is one of the nicest towns we have seen in Floiida. At 2 p. m, we ailived at Madison, our place of destination. This is the best town we have seen in Florida, with fertile hammock soil to back it up. The people here meet us like friends, though we could find no one we have ever seen or heard of here, yet we found many South Carolina people here, who gave us a warm shake of the hand when we told them that we were from old South Cirolina. Many of them knew how to make us ftel akin. We found this to be a good farming country and the people, industrious and religious, hospitable and kiud to strangers We tound everything high here, especially railroad fare and board. Four cents per mile is the rate and fiom >4 to ?10 per week for board. The weather is fine here and the people are busy planting and preparing their land for a heavy crop. The negroes are numerous here but they give them no trouble, as Florida I is strictly Democratic. Mr. Editor, we have only been away from home one month-and have had all the kindness and success in business we could ask, having sold fourteen counties at Waldo, our patent concrete business; }et we feel that there is no place like home and we dream of fiiends and loved ones at night and long to be there.

What do you tbink of this, fellow trusters? I am ready al->o to deliver the stuff that I got from Mr. Tutwiler in good order, and if he refuses to accept them then let him seek redress through tbe law, as it isn't worth anything to up. I hope tbe day is not far distant when our County Superint ndert will call a meeting of tbe trustees of the county to consider this matter of vital importance, as I see it. To show you that tbe agent lied all the way through, he told Mr. Craps there wei e sixty five thousand dollars of the dispensary funds to be turned over in January, and he told me there were $194,00J to be distributed all over the State.
