, A VERY practi
cal use U made
of Arbor Day In
this State In beau
tifying the school
(rounds. From the establishment
>f Arbor Day In 1880 to 1906
'.here were planted In this way
a our school grounds 318,920 trees.
If this were proportionately dis
tributed It would be tnore than thirty
:rees to every district; yet over 2000
llstrlcts In the State remain which
fcave absolutely no trees or shrubs
>n their grounds, and many others
irlth only a few straggling trees.
Moreover a very small proportion of
the whole number of districts give
my sort of attention to the care of
then wounds. To plant a tree and
let It diev is a poor way to celebrate
Irbor Day, which, though an annual
holiday, should have perennial re
mits.
Is one of these neglected school
(rounds In your district, render? If
!o~ c-n you not xr.aki a beginning
.his year? This is no mere matter
>f sentiment. It certainly pays in the
md to plant and care for trees and
ihrubs about the grounds and give
:he whole place an inviting air of
cleanliness and respectability that
:ommands the regard of the stranger
ind offers an invaluable example to
the home community.
From this standpoint It is obvious
that the school planting deserves
especial care. The trees must be so
disposed as to please the eye and
luggest agreeable contours to private
planters. But they can also serve
other and no less Important uses.
They may form the direct objects of
mature study on the part of the pu
pils, and they may act as windbreaks
ar as screens to shut off unsightly ob
jects. llere are some of Mr. L. C.
Corbett's suggestions:
In planning the arrangement of the
plantations on the school ground the
requirements of the school should
be kept well In mind. If large play
grounds are desired, all plantations
should be kept well to the borders
*nd to the immediate vicinity of the
buildings. Ample playgrounds are
Among the first considerations In con
nection with a school whether it be
situuted In the city or country, and
the desire for trees nnd shrubbery
ihould be made subservient to a de
?lre for ample space for healthful
exercise. The question of space
should not enter when planning the
arrangement of the grounds about
rural schools, for there land should
be available to carry out the ideal re
lation between playgrounds and plan
tations. In far to'i many Instances
In New York, especially with the
country district school, this will be
Impossible unless the adjacent land
owner Is willing to set aside addi
tional space for the improved school
grounds.
If the trees selected embrace both
timber, fruit and ornaments, the
greatest variety will be afforded both
for skill in planting and for study.
The timber trees should be represen
tative of the region nnd include both
deciduous nnd evergreen species. The ,
preponderance of the species need
not be based on the natural forest

of the region, for In many sections
this would be evergreen; on the con
trary It will. In a majority of cases,
be found most desirable to have a
predominance of deciduous trees In
the school-ground plantings. The
fruit trees should be few In number,
but should represent the speclea
grown commercially In the region.
If It Is not a commercial fruit-grow
ing region in which the school hap
pens to be located, representative
sorts for a good family collection
should be chosen, which In most
parts of State will laclude the apple,
pear, plum, cherry, peach and grape.
Several small fruits can be added If
tuought desirable, but as most of
them are short-lived and demand
considerable care In their mainten
ance, their value Is questioned.
With the tree fruits the case is
different; the planting and main- j
tenance of fruit trees on the school '
ground affords the best possible I
much as upon class differences. If
It be a question of providing a list
of fruits for Illustrative purposes, ths
varieties of apples chosen are of see
tnaisry Importance In comparison
with providing apples, pears, plums
and cherries. It Is better to have a
seedling apple of no commercial valua
than to have no apple at all. So with
the timber and nut-bearing trees, if
the grounds will permit, use an ex
tensive list of the vaiuable timber
trees. But if the area Is limited, use
only representatives of a class. ? The

moans of creating a sentiment in fa
vor of and a respect for the property
rights 01 the fruit grower. A proper
regard for the rights of the grower
to bis pioduce is sadly lacking in
some sections of the country. Then,
too, the presence of the fruit trees
on the school ground will afford ma
terial of the greatest value In teach
ing the elements of agriculture. The
changes which come with the seasons
In bud. leaf, flower and fruit all
serve a most valuable part In the In
struction or the school. The realiza
tion that these trees are for Instruc
tion purposes will give them an added
value i:i the minds of th? students
which will leuu greatly to their pre
servation. Mesides affording winter
buds and the changes which come
with the seasons they can be made
useful exponents ot how and when to
prune. No little interest will attach
to the study of be lives of the many
pests, both plant and Insect, which
will beset them. . The stories of the
lives of these pests will bring out

It stimulates observation and Investi

Tin school-ground gardens and
plantations should be planned to con

material as is practicable, and yet

which thrive and have an economic
place In tho industries of the com

A SOUTHERN STORM
? ? ?
furious Tornado Sweeps Over
Wide Stretch of Country
HUNDREDS DEAD IN ITS TRACK
A Wind of Cyclone Velocity Sweeps
Orer Parts of Louisiana, Mississip
pi and Alabama ? Scores of smal]
Towns Destroyed and Partially
Wrecked.
A wind of cyclonic proportions
swept over portions of Louisiana.
Mississippi and Alabama late Friday,
leaving a trail of dead and injured.
Friday night the number of killed i?
estimated at elose to a hundred and
the number of injured at over a hun
dred, with many portions of the af
flicted districts to hear from.
Most of the dead are negroes. Per
haps a dozen whito ? persons were
caught in falling buildings and either
fatally injured or so seriously dis
abled as to require medical attention.
The loss of life was chiefly in the
quarters of colored persons where the
wind destroyed their cabins, burying
the occupants in the debris, or in the
farming sections of the country
where the trees were uprooted, tele
graph and telephone poles torn up
and general destruction became an
encore to a storm which swept with
almost tornado fury through the
country.
It is difficult to estimate the loss
of life or the extent of the destruc
tion to property, for there is little
or no communication with the points
where the rain *nd wind did its
greatest damage.
In Louisiana it is estimated that
a score of small town* were destroy
ed or partiallv wrecked. These in
trude Amite City. Arcadia and Inde
pendence, Belle Grove. Melton. Lor
man, Pine Ridge, Quitman, Landing,
Fairchild's Creek, Purvis and Lum
berton. Miss., arc reported seriously
damaged by the storm.
In Alabama Dora was the chief
sufferer. This town is also known as
Bergen. Four or more persons were
killed, among thorn the wife and
daughter of Station Master Mr. ore.
Fifth;; persons at the lowest estimate
were injured. Those moat scriouslv
hurt were carried to hospitals in Bir
mingham, Aln. One* woman, a Mrs.
McCullv, died on the train. Two oth'
er members of this family were ser
iously injured. At Bergen cars were
blown from the railroad tracks and
considerable other property destroy
ed. Reports also say that the storm
struck Albortville. Ala., late in the
afternoon and destroyed nearly the
e::tire northern portion of the town.
A cotton mill \\;ns blown down, the
storm ranging northward, doing much
destruction to 1 i ft* and property. An
unconfirmed report from this section
gives the derth list at from .'10 to 'lf>,
with scores of persons injured. A
special train was sent from Birming
ham. carryine physicians and a squad
of State militiamen to the district.
Aid is also pouring in from all other
directions.
From Meridian. Miss., cnrncs a re
port that Mrs. John Minniece and
her child were killed outright and
John Minniece was seriously injur
ed, while n number of other person?
were hurt and there was considerable
destruction of property.
Winchester, Miss., a small town, i?
reported wiped out, though only two
persons are known to have been
killed.
Natcher,, Miss., reports 60 art
known to be dead in the northern
Louisiana storm. Hundreds of plan
tation cabins are reported destroyed
in his section.
Mobile repors nine dead in ITat
ticshurg. Miss, but this hns not been
1 confirmed.
The first damage done was at S. II.
Lambdin* plantation, seven mile*
south of Vidalia. Here Mrs. Shield?
of Natchez, while in b?<l with het
two little boys was instantly killed
by a beam falling on the hod. Hot
hoys wero uninjured. Pour negroc*
were killed on the plantation nnd
many cabins were razed Jo tlif
ground. S. II. Pambdin was struck
by a benm nnd injured internally.
From Lambdins the tornado pas?cd
n mile and n half west of Vidnlia
striking Dr. J. C. Carter's .plantation
whore several negroes were killed
and others injured, I wo of whom will
die. The tornado proper covered n
breadth of 000 feet through this par
ish and R\vept across the Mississipp.
liver striking Adams count v at Oilei
l?end, four miles north of Natchez,
Here four netrrocs were killed and
seven injured. Continuing northeast
the tornado ravaged Pine Hid?e ir
this county, killing 12 and injuring
20.
The brick church, a historic build
ife?*. the first Presbyterian church
erected in the smith vest, was demol
ished.
Two plantations in the neighbor
hood belonging to .Tames McClure, ol
Natchez were shorn of their tw<
houses and 17 cabins. Eight deatln
were reported on these plantations
New Orleans, La., Special. ?
Amite, a small town in southwestcrr
Panisiana, was almost destroyed bv i
tornado. The dead are estimated b\
physicians at from 2."> to .r>0. Th?
first details were brought to New Oi
lcans bv trains with 17 injured. Cor
respondents on the sccene howevei
assert that not more than a dozer
were killed, but that so many suffer

Atlanta, Special. ? As a result of
the storm which swept into Georgia
after having done extensive damage
in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
25 persons are dead aud at least one
hundred were injured, while many
others received bruises and scratches
from flying debris in a dozen towns
in this State.
The storm which first appeared in
this State at Columbus, on the Ala
bama line, seems to have moved in
a northeasterly direction, striking
the towns of Chippley, Hairis, La
Grahgc, Griffin, MeDonough, lx>cust
Grove, Cedartown and Cave Springs,
while a portion of its fury was felt
in the eastern suburbs of Atlanta
shortly after midnight.
Homes Swept Away.
At - Cnvo Springs, near Rome,
where the largest loss of life oc
curred, nine persons were killed and
nine injured, while a score of ne
groes arc reported to have been more
or less badly bruised. In this vicinity
the wind swept a path half a mile
wide and five miles long from the
outskirts of Cave Springs in a south
westerly direction to Hamatie. There
is not a house left standing in the
storm-swept area. Hcarn's Academy,
at Cave Springs, was badly dam
aged. At Cameo two negro section
hands wore killed, and one white
man is reported dead at Stiuson.
At Columbus Mrs. Vila Norris and
her daughter were instantly killed
by the destruction of a pavilion at
North Highlands in which they were
staying. The property loss in this
section will bo heavy.
Griffin reports that three white
women were killed and eight white
persons injured and a property loss
of $50,000 sustained. The path of
the storm at this point was ?lireetlv
over the cotton mill and cottneres of i
the mill operatives. Twenty-five of
these cottages were entirely de
molished and the escape of their
occupants is considered miraculous.
Ten Nccroes Killed.
The boiler and engine roo:n and
the roof of the card room of the
Hush tow 11 mills were blown awny. as
was the commissary room. The ():ik
Ilill Baptist cluireh ami Levolie
chapel were dest roved, while a score
of other buildings sustained groat
damage. Physicians of the city
ru:hed to the scene of disaster and
crave prompt relief to the injured,
who were removed to hospitals as
quickly as possible. Hundreds were
bruised ami ,y by living missiles.
A public meeting was held Sunday to
raise funds for the injured.
At Chipley Mrs. Frank Hopkins
and Mrs. Forrester and 10 negroes
were killed, while the husbands of
the two women were seriously in
jured. Practically every business
house in Chipley was more or less
damaged; the hotel, in which there
were 1 1 guests, was blown down,
but none of its occupants was in
jured. All the warehouses were
damaged end not a negro house is
left standing. The residence of II.
A. Middlebrook was lifted from its
fouudat ions, carried 150 vards and
deposited in its new position with
out being damrcged.
The depot and three freight ears
were blown away at Harris, a 9 nail
station three miles from Chiplcv.
One report says that six white p-r
sons and two negroes were killed at
that place.

lti miles from Atlanta, early Satur
day.
The Rtortn was lirst felt in At
lanta shortly after midnight, when
numerous houses in the southeastern
section of the city were unroofed.
The storm then jumped nearly a
mile to the eastern edge of the
suburbs, where three houses stand
ing close together were demolished,
while houses on the opposite side <>l
the street were left untouched. A
vivid electrical display accompanied
the torrential rain and wind. Many
hour.es in the city were struck by
lightning and their inhabitants given
bad scares, but no one was injured.
A large suburban electric car. mak
ing its Inst trip to College Park, was
blown from the track at Fast Point
and its passengers compelled to walk
two miles in the blinding rain.
The usual freaks were played by
the wind, one roof having been trans
ferred from a house to a nearby
building. Twenty-seven prisoners
were in the little town jail. The
roof was lifted completely off the
jail, leaving rain and d^ris beatinu
in upon the exposed prisoners, but so
terror-stricken were they that not
one gained his freedom. None of
the prisoners was seriously injured.
The wreckage which remained on the
*ite of a lumber mill near town
consisted largely of splinters from
the size of toothpicks up to small
st icks.
The totnl money loss n? Purvis wn>
estimated at $200,000. These figure*
were obtained from dorens of busi

Will CLOSE DOWN
Carolina Cotton Mills Agree to
Suspend Operation July 1
WILL DECLINE TO TAKE ORDERS
At a Representative Meeting of Cot
ton Manufacturers at Spartanburg
It Was Decided That All Cotton
Mills of Piodmcnt Section of North
and South Carolina Will Shnt Down
For Indefinite Period After July 1.
Spartanburg:, S. C., Special. ? The
cotton mills of the Piedmont section
of North and South Carolina will
close down indefinitely July 1st, ami
no further orders for cloth at the
present prices will be accepted by the
mills. This action was taken at a
meeting of mill presidents represent
ing the mill industry of the upjwr
section of South Carolina and North
Carolina.
The action of the cotton mill men
;lid not conic as a surprise, for it will
be remembered that it was reported
in this correspondence several days
ago that the mill men were up against
(i serious proposition. It was either a
reduction' of wages and shorter hours
or the closing down of the mill in
delinitely. The mill hnd hoped to op
erate on shorter hours ami reduced
wages; in fact, some of the mills have
been pursuing that policy for some
time; hut it gave no relief to the sit
uation.
The meeting was held in the cham
ber of commerce and nearly every
mill in this section was represented
pit her by personal representatives or
by proxy. The meeting was held
quickly and quietly. In fact, it did
not beoome known that the meeting
had been held until representatives
of the mills made the following state
ment:
"At a representative meeting of
cotton manufacturers held this day
in the chamber of commerce it was
resolved that they will accept no fur
ther orders for cloth at present prices;
that they will shut down their mills
indefinitely not later than Julv 1st,
15)08."
The elosing down of the mills will
throw thousands and thousands of
people out of employment, and the
flfreat problem before the mill opera
tives is how they will employ them
selves after July 1st until the mill>
resume operation.- Had the mills
closed down earlier in the season the
siutation would not have been as se
rious as at the present time, for tiie
mill people could have easily made ar
rangements to s? cure work on /the
farms. The employers of farm labor
have now made all their arrange
ments for agricultural work.
I) has been said that possibly I he
mills have made arrangements to
provide for the operatives while the.
mills are idle.
