Ahead of South Ca roi inn In Farming, Hut Not hi Church Work. Suhula, Iowa, March 28.-Editor Keoweo Courier: I will now tell you of our trip North. Wo left Green ville on March'9th. We slopped over in Asheville four hours, then went to Knoxville, where we had a stop of four hours, giving us time to see tho city. It ls a very pretty place and <iuito a business town. Tho railroad from Knoxville North passes through a rough country. We passed through 21 tunnels on our way to Cincinnati. The high bridge over the Kentucky river Is truly a grand sight, the bridge spanning the river from bluff to bluff, suspended on two steel sup ports on concrete foundations. Tho sight ls grand. The ride across the broad prairies of Illinois was a reve lation to me. The land is level and thc farms are laid out in squares, with blue grass pastures everywhere. It looked so different from the fields in South Carolina. Wo arrived In Chicago about 8 o'clock, and after breakfast we took in a portion of the business part of the city. It ls surprising the amount of trafile that is handled at tho street crossings without any confu sion or loss of time, lt ls done by a force of traffic police, who stand at crossings and control the crowds by a system of whistles.. Some of the high buildings aro grand. Tho Singer Building is 56 stories high, with the great post office building and many others not much smaller. We left Chicago at 2 o'clock for Sabuln, Iowa. We arrived at 6 p. m. and went directly to Mr. Lovell's home, which is three-quarters of a mlle from the city. It ls situated west from Sabula on the side of a bluff, und is known as Westside Fruit Farm. .The house ls of red brick, 13 rooms, all nicely arranged. In front of the house is a large green house full of pretty flowers, carnations, violets, lilies and all kinds of roses, also different kinds of pot flowers and ferns. We have 1,000 fruit trees on our place, half apples, balance cherries, pears, plums and peaches. Thero nre also 300 large grape vines and all kinds of small fruits, such as black berries, straw berries, raspberries, blueberries, etc. We are having line weather, Mr. Lovell and 1 went to church I.ist Sunday morning, and also to Sunday school. While 1 am pleased with everything else, 1 cannot say I am much pleased with the church and Sunday school work. So the North ls not ahead of thc SouMi in everything. I missed the grown-up people in Sun day school. There was no Bible class, no Buraca class, no Phllathea class. The classes were all composed of children-hardly enough grown people for teachers, They had me to take charge of a class of twelve girls, but I so often think of the class 1 bad in Greenville. I left a class of sev enteen bright-eyed boys. They were very near to ino. hut tiley aro in good hnnds. Bro. ''olroyd ls teach ing my class. 1 put my letter in the church Sun day morning, and was welcomed most heartily. Brother Coover asked me to come up and give him the right hand ol' fellowship, and wo all had a regular Baptist hand-shaking. It seemed like old times to me. Another thing impressed me. Brother Coover announced there would be class meet ing after the benediction. The name sounded familiar to me, hut still 1 hadn't heard the name called in a long Hmo, ns we call lt these days "everybody's meeting/' but. there were just a fow stayed. Their hymn books, Sunday school literature and everything is different. 1 hope I will like it better as I get more accus tomed to everything. Mr. Lovell and I aro going to Min nesota this summer to stay two months-over 500 miles from here. Will write again when we return. Mrs. Nina Lovell. Died with His Horses. Albany, Nf.

Washington, March 31.-The Uni ted States transport Buford, bearing the relief supplies to the starving peo ple of China, arrived at Shanghai to day. Announcement of the arrival of the Buford in Chinese waters reached Washington almost simultaneously with mail advices to the State Depart ment from Shanghai and Nanking de tailing pitiful tales of the indescrib able suffering of the starving mil lions. Mr. Bostick, a missionary, writing from Boohow, says the suffering poor have reached the extreme of mis ery. A few months agc they were living on* wheat bran. With this ex hausted, tliey have resorted to cook ing leaves of trees, and even Simple dry wheat chaff. Barefooted children, all but naked, on freeling cold days pitifully screaming "I'm hungry, I'm hungry," present a common street scene. Mo thers no longer able to provide food for their offspring, throw them away. "Many have perished In the streets," said Mr. Bostick. "A man died last week near me. He was so overcome with hunger that in the last moments be picked up clods of dirt and crammed them Into bis mouth." Town Practically Wiped Out. Mobile, Ala., March 30.-Gaines ville, Ala., was practically wiped out by the tornado that swept through Monroe county Monday afternoon, according to delayed news that reach ed here to-day. The cyclone cut a path of ruin two hundred feet wide through tho settlement. There were no casualties there, but many per sons were hurt by flying timbers. Tho reports tell of the tornado's progress. Forests were leveled and crops destroyed, while hundreds of farm buildings were torn down. The area of the storm is remote from railroad and telegraphic communica tion. An Appalachian Forest StOSCYvatloii. (Atlanta Constitution.) The bill creating an Appalachian and White Mountain forest reserva tion, which, having overwhelmingly passed the Senate, now goes to Pres ident Taft for his signature, is sec ond only In importance to the Cana dian reciprocity pact in the list of measures considered by the present session ol* Congi* ss. Coder tho terms ol' the act, ?10, 000,Ono is appropriated for the pur pose ol' creating reservations in thc Appalachian and Wblto Mountain systems, that sum to be expended at the rate of $2,000,000 for live years. Its enact mont represents a bard struggle extending over a period Of eight years, in which Southern senti ment was educated and foch li zed In a manner almost, dramatic. The Con stitution fools a particular gratifica tion in the passage of the bill, since this paper took tho initiative In the fight for a conserv?t lo iv pol i cy in this section. Speaking In general terms, the law will operate to maintain such forest reservations along these mountain chains as will regulate stream-llow and rainfall, prevent soil erosion on farms in tho States tributary, insure the navigability of connecting streams and safeguard ?the sources of water power. Ko fundamental aro these factors as to effect posterity In about as largo a dogrco as the generation now ruling. it is to bo hoped that tho bill Just enacted ls simply tho precursor of a Federal and State policy applied to the eastern half of tho country, which will eventually give proper ex pression to our rolo as custodians only of the nation's material re sources Council Mufft* Doctor KIIIH Two. Des Moines, Iowa, March 25.-=-Dr. H. B. Kelly, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, shot ano killed Deputy Sheriff Clar ence Wollman here to-day and a short time later shot and killed Ed ward Stershig, a Des Moines bar tender. Dr. Kelly was being taken by the deputy sheriff to an inebriate hos pital at Knoxville. The two men oc cupied the same room at the Kirk wood Hotel during the night. This morning Kelly was awakened, ex tracted a revolver from the pocket of the deputy sheriff and fired three shots Into the body of the latter as he lay asleep. Kelly then unlocked tho door to the room ami hastened down the street. He entered a saloon and de manded a drink. Sterslng, tho bar tender, refused to give him the li quor. "You saloonkeepers have made an Inebriate of me, and now you re fuse me a drink," Kelly said as he drev the revolver, which he had now reloaded, and fired five shots Into Stersing's body. Sterslng died an hour later at Mercy Hospital. Kelly was caught within a short distance from the saloon and locked up in tho city Jail.
