I'm le Sam's Hoad Farmer Talks of Farming and Parin Life. "While the boys lu the Fast are leaving the farms and ?coking em ployment elsewhere, lhere s room for optimism as to farm life in some parts of the country," said Secretary of Agriculture Wilson recently. 111 discussing the protest of the National (?range of West Virginia against the ligures in his annual report relative to the value of the wealth of Ameri can farms. The Secretary said that the figures $8.700,000.000 mentioned 111 his re port as the value of farm products last year merely represented the visi ble wealth of the farms of tho coun try, including stock, cattle, grain,etc.. and had nothing to do with the cost of making the crops. Ile added that tho department had not reached the point where it waa able to give the ie i |t rollt s of American farmers. The ("range complained that rho figures were misleading and compara tively small profit could !).> made al te'- ihe hardest sort of work. In regard to the desertion of the farms for the cities, Hie Secretary said that the young popio ol' the faims must be educated to the possl bilitles of that line.

Hnas Butler, of Plckens county, must hang, according to an opinion rendered in his case last week by the Supreme Court. Butler was convicted of attempted assault, and undor the act of 1909 was given the death pen alty by the court. Cutler was convicted upon testi mony that showed that he had enter ed tho room of his Intended victim, had laid his hand upon her. and that she recognized him in die moonlight night, recognized also his voice, and after making a noise lu her efforts to get away, she had see red Sutler out of the window, awakened her parents and the man was arrested two hours later. The hour of the attempted crime was 1 1 o'clock u night, and Butler was arrested thc same night, April 2, 1909. The appeal was based upon tho exception that tho testi mony, quoted in the appeal, only tended to show that au assault was made, but not with intent to ravish. The Court, however, citing a case, states that the testimony is sufficient to convict, and the case was remand ed so that a new date may be set for the hanging. ll is interesting to note, in connec tion with this case, that it ls one of the first to come undor the new act of 1909 so far as an appeal is con cerned.

Very lit tit? is known in this coun try of the Ciro system of banking in Germany. This system lias been in use ii? tin.- Stale of Hamburg since the establishment of the Hamburger Hank in I tl I !>. An account is opened iii the usual manner, and when payments are to be made the payer, instead of prepar ? hm a chock, merely instructs his j banker to debit his account with tlie sum involved and to credit Richard Koo's account witli a like amount. If, however, payer and payee have their accounts in different banks the payer then requests his hanker to transfer the amount in question to the hank of the payee, with Instruc tions to credit Richard Roe's account with the amount of the Indebtedness. Convenient blank forms are pro vided for making these notifications. When the banker receives an instruc tion of this character, says the Book keeper, he in turn notifies Roe of the | payment to his credit and the name | of the payer. , In Hamburg the Reichsbank and five important banks use the Giro system. Representatives of these banks moot several times daily at the Reiclisbank, who ri' transactions be tween their several customers are cleared. In Hamburg very little ma. terial money ls used In effecting the transactions, even of the most Insig nificant character, by Uberweisungs zettel. When payments are to be made from one city to another this is <lone usually through the Reichsbank, which has BOO branches, more or less, throughout the Empire. All trans- j actions are undertaken without cost 'o either payer or payee, and, on the j contrary, deposits subject to this modified form of checking usually draw one per cent interest per an num. The advantages of the Giro system fall partly under the head of secur ity and partly of convenience. Dan ger from forgery is eliminated, as the notification sent to a banker by a payer could not hy any possibility be utilized advantageously by crimi nally disposed persons. The only In convenience observable arises from the fad that receipts for payments j uro not acknowledged on h?ls as rendered, unless such receipts ure specially sought hy messenger after the bank exchange has been made. lt ls customary in small local transactions for a payer to note ai the fool of bills thc date of payment throimh his banker, and in case of possible dispute the bank ls always prepared to clear up misunderstand ings. Concerns doing a large vol ume of business and obliged to make numerous payments dally are spared the annoyance of preparing hundreds of individual checks, as they have merely to write out a list of names and amounis on a long sheet, which t hey send to t heir banke:\ Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets invariably bring relief to wo men suffering from chronic constipa tion, headache, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dypepsla.

Knoxville, Tenn., Pel). llb-Spe cial: Thc Appalachian Exposition, to be hold in this city from September loth to October Sth of this year, Ls hoing prepared in the interest ol' the industrial development of the entire Appalachian Mountain region. Thia section includes portions of East Ten nessee, Western North Carolina, Southwest Virginia. Wost Virginia, Southeastern Kentucky, North Geor gia, North Alabama and a part of South Carolina. No section of the entire United States of corresponding area has as vast deposits of latent mineral and timber wealth and agri cultural and industrial possibilities as has thc Appalachian region of these eight States. With a view of bringing these resources and their possibilities more directly to the at tention of the people of the country at largo, and particularly those living in the Appalachian section, this ex position has been designed. It has boen located in Knoxville because of the fact that this city is the geograph. leal centre of the Appalachian region and is within easy reach by rall. Agents of tho exposition are now getting in touch wit li all parts of the Appalachian country with a view to bringing here exhibits ol' the pro ducts, industries, civic and other re sources of the various Stales. This comprehensive exhibition pla- will result in an array ol' possessions of this region that has never boen equal led. The fact that the Appalachian Exposition is to be an annual affair is a further impetus to Ibo country interested to make lt a brilliant achievement, and the show of this year will be but a forerunner of many greater exhibits in future years. At the head of the exposition enter prise is W. J. Oliver, the most widely known man in all the Appalachian region. Mr, Oliver is a celebrated railroad builder and manufacturer and Iron mill operator. He became famous throughout tho world as the man who made the lowest hld for the construction of the Panama Canal, and had tho work been let to con tractors it would have been awarded to him. Mr. Oliver ls putting Into the exposition organization the same energy and abllty that has made pos sible his personal success, and his connection with lt assures a signal achievement. In addition to industrial, commer cial, art. domestic science, live stock and agricultural and numerous other exhibits peculiar to tho this section of the South, the Federal govern ment will also have an exhibit If the recommendnltons of the Congression al Exposition Committee chairman/ prevail, which undoubtedly will be the case. President Taft has already accepted the Invitation of the exposi tion officials to visit the show, and oilier ofllclals of national reputation will also be here. The amusement feature is being provided for, splendid midways, air ship and horse races, automobile races and other attractions being en gaged. This exposition will be second to none that has ever been held in tho South. FOLEY^??ONE?^^EAR ter ?Mldrent ?af?, cur?. No opiata?. V Armour's Fertilizers Have four sources of ammonia.
