They fancy that this is evi- t. dence of the rapid and permanent ;l spread of the use of English in the j, realization of its destiny to become 0 the world-language. The Washing- 0 (ton Post, for instance, sees in this very natural wish of the Japanese M plenipotentiary the sign of a revolu- j* tion human speech?Ex j] The citizens of New Orleans are ' seeking comfort in the belief that 0 they are suffering only from mos- I' *. quito bites. That the mosquito was (* the disseminator of fevers was known to the people of Ceylon, and per- ^ haps to all of India, some fourteen 11 centuries ago. Modern science is merely rediscovering facts that were commonplaces of knowledge in the se east before Eugland was settled bv ft its present races. When Rritish p scientists started investigations into d< ' the effects of the mosquito bite, they tl ! were astonished to learn that the m fa benighted h.athen in a land where ol Ie? f' every prospect pleases and man only p< is vile had anticipated their boasted E . ? science by centuries, had found that tl there were sixty-seven kinds of 1110s- of quitoes, and further that there were lo ' four kinds of malarial fever caused ti< by the bite of those mosquitoes. The 01 Romans also knew the fatal effects fr of the mosquito bite, and resulted to tli effective measures for getting rid of the pest. ?Ex. j cc i ' |f?J t Ten Cents Cotton and Tenjtli Cents Cotton Oil. k: ' h The Southern people are as ? wise- i m ly, its unitedly and as insistently in j1,1 favor of cotton at ten to one as they !

As Italian farm laborers, fruifg rowers, ami small farmers are coming into the south in increasing numbers there has inevitably result- i eel a competition between these newcomers ami tin- iiegr??e>, who, up to j this time, hau- enjovml a monopoly in the field agricultural lalior. Several <|iie<tions are suggested by tilis | competitive struggle that are of j1 great interest to iliis section. Is it | likelv That tlu* Italian anil immi- i I grants of a similar class will (lis* ! place The negro as a farm laborer in I lie sou thy Is such an event desirable? Professor Walter L. Fleming,! of West Virginia I'liivcrsity, makes j these remarkable assertions: Side by side with negroes, the Italians have proved their superiority as j, 'farm labo.ers. Mr Dougheity, a planter of Raton Rouge who em-1 ploys about H) Italian Jamilies,states that tliev are [leaeeah'e and mor* industrious than the negro; that thev j <|I^W(I) learn to do unfamiliar work, trea^tock lietter and cultivate their j crops more intelligently; that they J are more economical and do not rush , into deht nor spend their earninsg ; extravagantly. < ?tner planters repoi t j that they are good famers; that they have model farms and well-kept! house and premises; and that thev raise everything at home. Near Greenville, Mississippi, is an Italian j colony engaged in cotton farming, j hacn ianniy on zu acres usually clears on each crop $200 to $300 above expenses* He#ud(is that many farmers have! substituted Italians for negroes as I tenants. Here we have an even more definite statement, quoted by Professor Fleming from A II Stone, a pointer of Greenville, Miss.: It is always difficult to get. a negro j to plant and properly cultivate the j i outer edges of his field the extreme j ends of his row, his ditch banks, etc.; The Italian isso jealousof the use . of every foot for which he pays rent; that he will cultivate with a hoej places too small to be worked with a Jplow and derive a revenue' from spots to which a negro would not give a moment's thought. I have seen them cultivate right down | . to the water's edge the banks of: bavous that had ntver before l>eeo | touched by the plow. 1 have seen theni walk through their fields and j search out every skipped place in 1 ; every row and caref ullv put in seed ' to secure a perfect stun d.I have seen them make more cotton per a:?re than the negro on the adjoining cut, gather it from two to four weeks earlier, and then put oxtra time earning money by picking in the negro's field. : -E*- ' MMVi ?? : Lemons as Medicine in. i ? _ Their Wonderful Effect | on the Liver, Stomach, Bowels, Sidneys and Blood. .
