AfU'r lloly Jumping, Cronning, utul Kolling, the Members Occasionally l>o a Marat lion. Now York, March 20.?If you are looking for something exciting, something new and strenuous in the way of religion, it will pay you to take a peep at the Pillar of Fire coloney situated at Hound Hrook, N. J., before you subscribe elsewhere. For genuine, downright athletic exuberance it has all the rest of these later day creeds backed off 11%/x V^.. I- - * < uv; inuji. inn u?iu l iwilUU H)l) III llt'll, Sometimes tho holy joy of the Pillar of Fire folks runs so high that they have hard work not to dance off their 85-acre farm and into the Karitan river on one side or the karitan canal on the other side. The headquarters of this latest religious venture is on an island. The sect was found by Mrs. Alma White and she is the chief pillar and tire main dispenser of the joy combined. To he sure her husband, a former Methodist minsiter and considerable of a scholar, is with her in the new enterprise, but he doesn't count much. II" don't seem to get enough "ginger" into his worshiping. The 20-year-old son of the couple, Arthur White, is also quite active in this religious-strenuous life. "VW were Methodist once," explains the lad, "but they became too worldly, so we lfet them. Why, the Methodist minister who took me into lln? church chewed tobacco and his son smoked cigarettes. So we organic d the Pillar of Fire, with father at the head of it. Fathei is strong on literature and learning, and makes a god lead, but give me mother for tire and fervor in tho holy dance and all the other work." Mrs. White also dislikes the Methodist b'causo they are not getting enough tire into their religion, "it takes real groaning for sanctiflcation." she declares, "so I knew that the Methodist were gradually sliding backward. My grandmother told me that in her days at campmeeting the faithful sat down on the ground and rolled over and over in the st'*aw. groaning and groaning to ho pure. And when they were made puie they jumped up from the straw and jumped over the hacks of the seats to show their joy. "So I determined to lead tho people hack to sanctideation, and this I 'd to the organization of tho s 11 ?r of Fire. There is no restraint on joy at our metings. We dance the holy dance, we jump over (he seats and we groan. We are the real joy dancers and holy jumpers. Sometimes the room is too small for our faithful in their ecstacy, and they run all over the farm, skipping over the ditches, hurdling fences and shouting their praisw r^r rcaly being saved." There are about 100 members of the Pillar of Fire colony at the present time. They all live on the island farm and pay no board, tilling the soil in the daytime for tlicir 'iving. They spend about six hours at their agricultural pursuits and about nine in holy rolling, jumping, groaning, shouting, praying and other holy antics. * WHITE WOMAN JEEKEl) Because Site Wants to Marry a Jap Young Man. San Francisco, March 2 6.?Amid hoots and yells, banging of tin cans and an ironical shower of rice and flowers, Mrs. John Finery, wife of Archdeacon Kmery, of the Episcopal church, and her daughter, Miss Helen Gladys Emery, whose engagement to Gunjiro Aoki, a Japanese, has aroused feeling against them, left their home at Corte Madeira, Wednesday evening.

This h What One North (Carolina Farmer Made l?y Crowing Two Oops hi One Year. Mr. I. W. Mitchell, of Franklin county, N. C,. must be a farmer right, if what he writes to the Practical Farmer is true, and we have no reason to doubt it. He says the advantages and possibilities of early cotton in Southern agriculture are not iuny reuuzeu. rue trouble is most farmers are trying to make too much cotton, planting largely of large boll, late-maturing varieties with large stalks and of long growth which greatly deplete the fertility of the soil and are so late as not to permit of growing another crop for improvement the same y ar. With improved strains of early cotton, prolific and large yield of lint from seed, the total products are equal to the best later maturing varieties, and at the same time it is made possible to grow two crops annually with but very little more expense, one of either annual clover rye, or vetch and a second crop of cotton, corn, peanuts or p: as. No other fertilizer is needed for these crops except, phosphoric acid and potash, as the leguminous crops furnish UO to :?<) times as much nitrogen as is usually applied in fertilizer pi r acre.

Your land will soon get rich enough to grow vegetables when a crop of cabbage, potatoes or other early vegetables can be grown with early cotton as a second crop to the amount of $500 or more dollars per acre annually. I have chosen to grow improved farm seeds in the full sense and meaning the words imply. Sugar Loaf cotton, the earliest, most proline, largest yielder of lint from seed cotton and total products. Sugar Loaf Cocke's Prolific corn, which has two good size, perfect ears, straight rows of pear-white grains. The Hewers of Sugar Loaf cotton all have red spots. Sugar Loaf Cock's Prolific corn is a distinct variety and may be known by its perfect breeding. Sixty-six acres constitutes my individual crop and is enough for one man to look after and improve as it should be. 1 have it enclosed in stock wire and sub-divided into three sections all watered. One section is grown in clover and cotton. nm> in clover or vetch and corn, the other in rye and peanuts or peas annually. My gross income from products and sale of seed amounted to $10,000 this year. The increased value in improvement of land in seven years is from one-quarter hale of cotton to one and one-half to two hales and from two to 8 or ten barrels of corn per acre, or in money valuation $100. MYSTEHY ABOUT SUICIDE. Queer Action About Notes Left by Mrs. IiOriliard. Washington, March 2T?.?Nothing I so sensational as the suicide here yesterday bv asphyxation of Mrs. Pierre Lorillard, Jr., wife of the tobacco magnate, has occurred in the national capital for years. The prominence of the family and the air of mystery surrounding the tragic affair lend a peculiar interest to this case. Intimate friends of the family here heard of the woman's tragic death late yestrday, but it was not until today that the news became general. The coroner stated that ho had in his possession a sealed envelope which Mrs. Lorillard left pined on the outside of her clothing, and which read, "To be buried with me unopened," as well as another envelope which was left in the room containing a note, but, he says, he will not make public the contents of either of these because he had been requested not to do so. At half-past twelve a number of the most intimate friends of the Lorillard family gathered at the Hillyer street residence for a brief funeral ceremony. For reasons unknown the IiOriliard family observed the greatest secrecy in regard to the ceremonies, their servants oven denying that any were being held. It is saia tnat tne body would be taken to New York during the afternoon. * Students Killed. Wichita Falls, Texas, March 25.?
