KILLS THREE, WOUNDS ONE.
Negro, Barricaded in Cabin, is Then
Killed by Mob.
Carlisle, Ark., September 12.?
Jack Bowers, a negro, today shot
and killed his wife at the home of
another negro near here, fired into a
sheriff's posse, killing Dr. W. H.
urawrord and J. n. jonnson, a constable,
and probably fatally wounded
Chester Crawford and was shot
to death when a mob riddled with
^ bullets the cabin in which he barricaded
himself. Three other negroes,
who were in the cabin, surrendered
and were placed in jail at Lonoke.
A strong guard was maintained at
the prison tonight to prevent mob
violence.

Mr. Brabhani's Tinted ^otton.
So many persons are writing me
in regard to "tinted cotton" till I am
forced to answer these parties
through the press.
A Bostonian writes me that I am
pirating Mendel. This Hungarian
monk wrote his "laws" in IS65, but
they were lost to the world until
1900, and all of my theories were
worked out before I ever heard of
_ _
s Mendel.
Luther Burbank, had he worked
along lines similar to mine, would
f have been a great aid, but his work
has been confined to horticulture,
and not agriculture. Therefore it
would be impossible to have Burbank
as a guide.
* I have studied both Darwin and
f? 'Huxley, but their works are confined
to animals, and not plant life.
None of the botanists refer to
plant breeding; they merely classify
plants and even if they had laid
down all the laws of plant breeding,
and had done it in the same way
that they have classified and named
; the different plants, I could not understand
much, for the scientists,
from the Mohammedan ascendancy
down (to some 500 or 600 years ago,
r used Arabic for all scientific puri
poses. When Greek and Latin
> tongues ceased to speak, then the
professions changed from Arabic to
Greek and Latin, because these languages
were dead, and, therefore, the
names they used in the , sciences
would ever be the same. All living
4 languages change, while a dead language
cannot change. So the botanists
have done me no good,
y. To the Bible I owe one idea: the
1/ changing of the color of Laban's
fv cows by Jacob. But I refuse to accept
the way Moses said he did it?
fd est?by placing streaked sticks in
the drinking troughs. Jacob merely
bred cows of a different color together.
He put new and different
blood into his father-in-law's herd.
This is not the only mistake made
5 by Moses. He looked upon the
i "manna and quail" as a miracle. The
manna-bearing oak is there today
bearing the same' manna that the
J Jews ate in the wilderness. No kind
of birds fear man when they have
. never seen man before. Ask the old
settlers of the West of the pigeons,
when any one could catch a wagon
load by hand as fast as they could
4 break
their necks and throw them
jr. < in?o a wagon. All travellers in unknown
lands?where man-has never
* \ s been?know of the tameness of all
fowls.
W "Back to the subject:
< I ,am under no. obigations to any
one for the mite I know of plant
Li" . -St >. .
| P breeding. The little I have done has
been "done on my own hook," and
this little clearly opens up one of the
largest fields of science; a field that
can be worked for thousands of years
dqe )
by the most learned and dilligent of
% men, and even then no inroad will be
made into it. As Sir Isaac Newton
saw "the great ocean of truth beyond,^
the plant breeder 10,000 years
from now can say the same thing.
Not of astronomy as Newton did, but
of plant breeding, the youngest, the
least known, but one of the most imnortant
of the sciences.
As yet it is a trackless field. There
? are no signboards along the road,
and until some one lays down more
laws than did Mendel the traveler
v.
must "go it blind." But the fascination
along this unexplored path is
wonderful, and the further we go
?/ the greater the fascination becomes.
To my humble way of thinking the
man who communes with nature,
learns a smattering of nature, isN inclined
to think that God is nature
and nature is God. Were God a be^
ing in the shape of man He would
fc' have to be many billions of men at
once to be everywhere?omnipresent.
Nature is everywhere, therefore we
must think that God and nature
mean the same thing.?A. W. Brabham
in the News and Courier.

BIRDS SIXG AS GUNS ROAR.
Tlirushes, Finches and Nightingales
Spurred by Cannon. }
1
A nightingale doipg its ambitious j
best to lift its song above the roar of \
a battery of heavy guns has so astonished
a British 'Soldier at the ,
front in Northern France that he (
writes home about it. "I will roar *
you, an ' twere any nightingale" may | j
not be so far-fetched after all. It (
will be a disappointment to the poets ^
who from time immemorial have consigned
the "sweet bird, that shun'st ^
the noise of folly" to quiet forest (
sanctuaries. Moreover, all the birds j
seem to like the noise, our letter
writer adds. Not only the nightin- <
gale, but thrushes, green-finches, \
wood pigeons, and the usually shy ]
golden oriole fill the bushes within a
hundred yards of the batteries and }
sing mightily. j
Have we here the same sort of im- ]
pulse which urges the dog to yelp j
when our friend "tries it over" on
our piano? Those who can endure
them declare that pet canaries like
an accompaniment; whistling will
do, but the louder the better, and
there must be many country dwell- 1
ers who have noticed the sudden <
burst of song induced by a railway i
train tearing through quiet meadows, i
One would suppose, however, that <
the ear which responds to the wriggle
of a worm under bark or under 1
ground would be shattered rather ^
than pleasantly tickled by the re- i
port of cannon. It is truly hard to 1
believe, especially in the case of
Philomel, that this can be a matter i
of esthetic enjoyment. Perhaps it's I
just nerves, or it may be the same "
motive that makes people shout in
the subway?they want to be heard.

The Thorn well Orphanage.
In view of the approaching
Orphan-Work day, (Sept. 25th) on
which day everybody in the State will
be busy for his or her own Orphanage,
I think it may be well, for the
information of all concerned, to mention
a few facts, about this Presbyterian
home for orphans; for the
Thornwell orphanage is owned and
controlled by the three synods of
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
The institution is not an asylum,
nor a reformatory, but it is a home
and school for orphans, only. It is
now full to overflowing, with some
twn hundred annlicflnts waitins: for
admission. Three hundred children
are now in the cottages and schools
of the home. Children with living
fathers, even thought deserted, cannot
be received. The children need
and deserve help, but . the State
should see that fathers do their duty
by their children.
Our boys and girls are not only '
given a good literary education, but
are taught some trade and are enabled
to take care of themselves
when they leave us.
The support of all these fatherless
and motherless children depends upon
the Christian public. Of course
the appeal for them is made principally
to Presbyterians, but as children
are received from all denominations
or without respect to the parents,
aid from any and everybody is
appreciated.
The plan of Orphan-Work day is
to interest young and old to help us
by their labors. Contributions are
made by these on the Sunday following
(Sept. 26th) and the gifts

Where Money is Useless.
The Island of Ascension, in the Atlantic,
belonging to Great Britain, is
of volcanic formation, eight miles by
six in size, and has a population of
about 450. It was uninhabited until
the confinement of Napoleon at
St. Helena, when it was occupied by
a small British force. It is 250 miles
northward of St. Helena. Vast numbers
of turtles are found on the
shores and it serves as a depot and
watering place for ships.
Ascension is governed by a cap+
on-nm'-ntoH V>v t Vi ^ Rriti.ch ad
laiu V/1X1 tv>u MJ vug ?
miralty. There is no private property
in land, no rents, no taxes and
no use for money. The flocks and
herds are public property, and the
meat is issued as rations. So are
the vegetables grown on the farms.
When an island fisherman makes a
catch he brings it to the guard room,
where it is issued by the sergeant
major. Practically the entire population
are sailors, and they work at *
most of the common trades. The
muleteer is a Jack tar, so is the
gardener, so are the shepherds, the
ctnftnipn thp srrooms. masons, car
penters and plumbers. Even the island
trapper who gets rewards for
the tails of rats is a sailor.
The climate is almost perfect and
anything can be grown.?London
