Another school district in Marl

dispensary money to run 11 o-i

She has never had the dispensary

money speaks well for them. It i- j

men may refuse to acknowledge this 1
fact.
The doctrine, of salvation by blnm
is sometimes ridiculed by those wh*
oppose the religion of Jesus. It yet
remains a fact that the advancement
of humanity has at every step of \\> |
progress left the foot-prints of blood.
Tlii- is true in commercial and industrial
affairs as well as in matters
of n_or.il progression. The great
1-ss of life and property in Han
Francisco will eontril ute to the
world's knowledge of architecture.
Future generations will receive the
blessing purchased at so great a
price in hlood and money.

one to give way to the depression
an 1 pain wrought by strife. The
years are too swiftly passing for one
to allow the spirit of resentment
and spite to enter the life. The
great world of endeavor offers too in
viting a lield of action for one to he
content to stop and allow life's energies
to go to waste in the follies
an 1 shams of a tnorhid, sellisli and
foolish spirit of bitterness. There
are too many fragrant Mowers to he
had for the gathering to admit of our
gathering the foul-smelling, noxious !
weeds. A heart that feels, a hand
that lielns. a mind that rests in tin
peace of conscious well-doing that ,
is the life that is worth while. It
is one that is open alike to rich and i
poor. It is true that the trumpet I
call to this life is not heard. The:
Hare and noise of the world-life often
drowns the gentle voices that j
calls to this blessed way of life. Hut !
we do well to attend faithfully to
this same still voice, for it is the ;
voice of God.
INDIFFERENCE OF CITIZENS.
It is a difficult matter to get our J
peopl to give adequate thought to |
matters pertaining to the public
welfare. This indifference manif-ajts
it- it' in a very pronounced degree
in all matters pertaining to the j
exercise of the elective franchise.
It is hard to get nion to look after ,
their registration certificate, and of-J
t-n when they are registered they]
manifi st so little interest that they
neglect to vote on the day of election.
It is often not the lawless el- ;
enicnt that is thus careless, but the ;
best class of citizens?men of intellb i
geiicc, industry and thrift. Infact,
many good citizens are so absorbed
in their own affairs that tin y do not
give the necessary time to these
questions of public interest. They
should not complain when eondi-j
tinns are sueh as to cause them re- ;
gret. It is the law that our county :
registration hooks he opened the;
first Monday in each month, up to
i?0 days before the general election!
in November. Yet it transpires that j
numbers of our citizens have notse-i
cured a certificate. They should!
not complain when they are refused
the privilege of easting their vote.
A mnn owes it to himself and to the I,
community in which he lives to
show at least sufficient interest in i
these matters to get out a registra-A

I rilC EMANCIPATION OF THE FARME
At no time since the war has the
| been so good a day for the farm
J of the South as has now come. Tl
'< present condition of prosperity h:
about emancipated the farmer. 1
is in a position to advance materia
ly in a way he has never before n<
vanecd. He is no longer obliged
sell his crops as soon* as they a
harvested. lie is in position to hi
more cheaply than he could forme
ly, for he has money with which 1
bliy. lie has learned to farm mo:
scientifically, and consequently tl
saiin* labor expended on tin; sail
land proiliuts more than it once dii
Evidence of this advancement of tl
farmer are seen in newly planted o
charils, new barns and redaime
fields. The well-tilled erihs, tl
sleek stock and the newly purchase
farming implements sire further m
idencs of the prosperity of tli
times.
It i> a great day for our Souther
country that thi> condition exists
No people can long prosper if tli
farming population is on the dow
grade. The wealth must come fro
the soil. When the farmer pro!
pcrs so prosper the merchant, mm
ufaeturer and professional mai
Moreover, the liest sab guard a coun
try can have is its prosperous farm."
The stability and general well-Item
of the South is assured when "Pro*
purity'' is written over the gatewa
leading to our farmhouses.
While our farmers are advunuin
along so many lines, would it n<
he well for them to give a little mm
attention to tin: raising of poultry
A score of farmers in I'nion count
couM at small expense lit up ayar
and raise fancy hirds. The cgjj
ami fowls of such 1 reeds almost al
ways sell, and they sell at haiulsom
prices. There will he little. ?Iillicul
ty in disposing of the. eggs and fowls
A small amount spent in advertis
ing will bring customers from al
parts of the state, and considorabl

! BEAUTIFYING EXPOSITION GROUNDS.
i A Southern Woods to be Transformed
; Into a Paradise?More Than a Mil- j
s lion Plants and Trees Used.
y *" *
(l*Y Fit AN K KUEltl.E.)
Norfolk, Va., April 27 .-^Artistic i
landscape engineering and garden-i
ing is rapidly transforming what
was hut a rough scope of woodland
s into a paradise of beauty. Art has,
il been brought to the aid of nature
in accomplishing the great landscape
work of the Jamestown Exposition.
Natural forests are utilized
where availahe and massive trees
> are being transplanted to carry out
s the plan of the work and conform i
v to the general arrangement of
' streets, buildings, and other Expo-j
sition improvements.
" j More than a million plants,!
shrubs and trees are already in'
-' place on the grounds, covering
many varieties, from the budding
( plants just opening into life to*j j
, irinot liveoak whose acre is estimated
| at Hourly a thousand yours. This
| votoran oak, tlio king of the'transit
< formed forest, was a largo tree'
r i when America was discovered, and
its spreading hranehes will aiYord
shade and shelter to thousands of
s Exposition visitors.
? The arranging of the grounds neis
oessitated the draining of more than
.a thousand acres of land to guard
t against any possibility ot malaria.
I Streams had to he bridged and
y j great tre.es had to Ik: transplanted
I and in many instances had to he
u [ carried on rafts across tide water
j. I for many miles. An old apple
orchard, which occupied part of the
^'ground near by the Exposition had
A to be renfoved. Instead of being
ir destroyed it was dug up and tieIt
trees transplanted around a thirtyr_
live acre drill ground to provide
shade? and add beauty to the sur'
rounding"*.
IS The Exposition avenues are to he
)- rendered attractive by live rows of
j. trees, two of apple, two of red
(t maple and one of pin oak. All
open spaces are to bo covered with
" trees, shrubs and llmvers; and llow r
..,-c .1,1(1 uIiviiIk will I|(> rtldiitod llonr*
afithc walks. The creamy white
n , magnolias ami lillies, the bright
I golden-rods, roses and other llowcru
ing plants and trees, will mingle
r' | their colors with the various shades
It j in'e 'HrtliV'1 lift* pWA ^YAo tile
,,1 bay trees.
tij j Ferns in dndless variety are to he
seen along the beds of flowers, and
.luxuriant palms will play an important
part in beautifying the
j landscape. Towering high above
" the roses, lillies, lilacs, jasmine,
: magnolias and multitudes of other
re j shrubs and trees stand groves of
cr pines along the water courses.
?,| The tree growth had an importi
ant influence on the building of tin,l'"
I Exposition, for the streets and road'(>'
ways on the grounds have been
1- made to conform to a great extent
1- to the location of the trees in order
lu that an attractive landscape setting
j may be given to the building"
wherever possible. Some of the
>' walks will be bowers of beauty unr
j del* natural arbors of scuppernonfc
to! grape, Virginia creeper.- and other
r(l i trailing vines.
The fence around the ground.1(';
two and a half miles long, is in itself
101 a thing of great beauty. It is eight
I. feet high, made of farm wire and
l(. barb wire. The entire fence is covered
with Japanese honeysuckh
blooming all Summer, with trumpet
( vine with their long scarlet Hower.10
and with the magnificent crimson
(1 rambler rose. Thus the beauty ol
! the Exposition grounds may be seen
[(l j on every side, even the fence being
a sight to arouse admiration.
?; Agricultural Exports.
ie' Agricultural products arc now
j, making their highest record in th?
^ exportation* of the Vnited States,
and, should the present rate con
) tinue during the remainder of tie
>- fiscal year, the total exportation ot
i. | such products will in lff(H>, for tie
first time, cross the billion dollai
line. In the eight months ending
with February, for which the De
& parturient of Commerce and Labor.
*- j through its bureau of Statistics,fury
I nishes the detailed figures, thevalu<
?f agricultural products cxpos&ce
imounted to over 8700,000,000.
^ which is a total considerably in excess
of tin; figures for a "similar pe'<*!>'iodin
any preceding year. This
? growth occurs in all of the thre<
.. i great grohps which form the hulkot
j agricultural sexports, viz., bread
-tuffs, cotton and provisions, tie
latter term including meats am
- dairy products. The largest in
e crease occurs in breadstuff*, ii

visions show n gain of $33,000,000.
and cotton a gain of $30,000,000
each comparer! witli the correspond1
ing months of the immediately pro
i* ceding year.
The increase in exports of wheat

ing with February, 11)08, only 4,19(5,000
bushels of wheat, were i*v
! ported, while in the same months
lending with February, 1006, the
nuniher of bushels exported was
27,467,288. Of flour, the exports
for* the corresponding months of
1905 and 1006 were 5,856,507 baraels
and 0,785,699 barrels. Of corn
the quantity exported in the eight
months ending with February, 1905,
was 50,968,160 bushels, and in the
same months of 1906, 88,261,903
bushels, while of oats the total exports
in the eight months of 1905
was 959,941 bushels, and in the
same months of 1900,32,714,452
bushels.
Cotton shows an increase of 860,000,000
in value of exports during
the eight months ending with February,
1906, compared witlrthe corresponding
months of last year, but
a decrease in quantity, the total
number of bales exported in the
eight months ending with February,
1906, being 5,399,055, against
5,879,227 in the same months last
year. The increase in value of ex
ports by countries occurs in movement
to the United Kingdom, Germany,
France, Italy, Russia and
Canada, and a decrease in the movements
to Belgium, Japan, Netherlands
and Mexico. In quantity,
however, the furores show n fl?.?-1in..
id movement to all the principal
countries except Franee and Canada,
the increase in total value being due
co the high average export price per
pound, that in 190(> being a little
ver eleven cents per pound, while
Hio average (flotation per pound in
he eight months ending with Febuary,
11)05, was slightly more than
