Monkeys as Cotton Pickers.
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.

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,

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.

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.

virtues of this great discovery.

Notes of Travel.
I To the Editor of the Dispatch:
! 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.
Yours,
G. M. Adams.

To the Editor of the Diepstcl:
I heartily agree with No. 27, in

(Orebaugb) niisi('presented the outfit
to me from beginning to end, and
when he left me he went on to one
of the other trustees of my District
and did not intimate in the least that
they would cost am thing, cla'ming
that he was j st introducing tl em

Ooe tf our county officials in particular,
after puttiug bis recommeudatiou
before tbe people, told a certain
trustee iu an adjoining District to
No. 70 to keep bis eyes open, for this
swindle was goiDg tbe rounds of tbe
county. 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. With success to the
