fr . :i T. v Wood & Sons' seed cata-

ber or p.Mvmber, and covered deeply,
,-, ,ti,. up early in the spring, and
pro off rapidly as soon as the

u i .-ii'iiil yield, which can be fed
(T,,, i, (,r iiired for bay; also make a.
,.1 i soil improver when turned un-;
ii r like cow-peas or clover, but their
jrp.!est vain3 is as a forare crop.
( i! i i i Field Peas are best sown with
oat-, at the rate of one bushel of peas
to one bushel of winter or rust-proof
oats to the acre. Or, if sown by
themselves, sow one and a half bush
els to the acre. They should be
covered deeply with a heavy harrow,
or plowing them in with a sinsrle-lior-e
plow, is probably the best.
Sowmir 'ats is h decided advantage.
jh they help hold the peas off the
ground, enabling them to make a
better growth, and as both mature
toother, thev Hhould make a splen

I have been sowing Canada Field
Peas for several years, atid consider
them one of the best foraire crops 1
eve;- saw. They yield abundant crop
nr. ! come at a time in the season
when f, ,.,J is scarce and high; besides,
they improve rather than diminish
the land. I am going to sow this
year in December with oats and clover
deep, as I jind they do the best to tret
them in either in December or very
early in the spring. So often the
I atid is wet early and not in condition

with the P.lack Pea, using this rota
tion in preference to corn. I get more
feed and at the same time improve

The Season's Greeting m, Mam..,wi.,ci. In
To Our Friends and Patrons:
Approaching the beginning of another
New Year we take this occasion to again
make acknowlegement of the very gener
ous patronage that has been given us
during the year now drawing to a close
and express our grateful appreciation of
same. While we rejoice at our expand
ing trade and greater prosperity, we
would repeat and further emphasize the
fact that we do not forget that we owe
it all to our friends and customers. And
we would be ungrateful indeed if we did
not deeply appreciate this expression of
confidence and good will. The people
have shown that they appreciate our
efforts to please our customers in supply
ing what they want GOODS OF QUAL
ITY AT REASONABLE PRICES.
Realising that the measure of success
and prosperity which we have enjoyed is
due to the loyalty of our many custom
ers and is an endorsement of our efforts
to supply their wants we are encouraged
to even greater endeavor in their behalf,
and shall, if possible, serve them in
future with a truer fidelity and more
loyal purpose than we have in the past.
With a bigger stoek and better and
cleaner goods than we have ever carried,
sellintrat PRICES THAT ARE PROFIT
ABLE TO OUR CUSTOMERS AS WELL
AS TO OURSELVES, promising prompt
and appreciative attention to all busi
ness, we think we are in better position
than ever before to serve our customers
to best advantage and will leave noth
ing undone to merit a continuance of the
very generous patronage and kindly
consideration accorded us in the past.

RACIAL STATUS FIXED.
Supreme Court of District ot Colum
bi Renders Important Declsloa
Barring Cbildren of Negros From
Schools of Whites Separation of
Races North as Well as South.
Wa sbingt on. PeG. Holding that
eight-year-c!d lsabell Wall, who has
one-sixteenth negro blood in her
veins is not entitled to admisfdon to
the Brookland public whool. Chief
Justice Shppard, of the Dictrict Court
of Appeals hns fixed the rncial status
for school children within the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The court virtually held that any
child that has any appreciable mix
ture of negro blood, regardless of the
proportion is a "colored person."
Isabell Wall was refused admit
tance to the Brookland public school
on the ground that Bhe wns a negro,
it having been asserted she had one
sixteenth negTO blood in her veins.
This action on the part ot the
principal was upheld bv Superintend
ent ot schools Stuart, whose opinion
in turn was attirmed by the board of
education bv a vote of 8 to 5. Then
an application was made by Stephen
Wall, an employe of the Government
printing office and the father ot the
child, tor a writ mandamus to com
pel the school board to admit his
daughter to the Brookland school.
Justice Wright dismissed the bill and
an appeal was taken.
i be effect oi the opinion was to af
firm the action of Justice Wright. It
is understood that the case will be
carried to the Supreme court of the
United States.
In appealing to the upper court the
attorneys for the child's parents at
tack the act of Congress providing
for separate schools for white and
colored children. They also argued
that if the act is valid the child is not
colored."
"Congress having failed to define
the meaning of the word 'colored,' "
says the opinion, "the duty was
necessarily devolved, in the first in
stance, at least, upon the bonrd of
education to determinewhatclnldren
are white and what are 'colored'
whenever the question arises in a
peculiar case.
"In the absence of a definition In
our own statute we are compelled to
ascertain the popular meaning of the
word colored. As early as Mr.
Justice Story declared that the word
had acquired definite meaning as
mulatto, negro, etc., though it was
not necessary In the case before him
to express more definitely what the
meaning was."
The petitioners contended that the
word "colored"must be given its com
mon or popular significance. "Negro
physical characteristics and negro
blood must combine in one to render
her "colored" ' the petition read.
regarding the contention, Lhlel
Justice Shepard says:
"It must be remembered that the
learned trial justice had found that
there was to be observed in the child
physical characteristics, which af
forded ocular evidence suggestive of
aught save the Caucasian. "He de
clined, however, to accept this de
lusive test or race, and based his con
clusion that the petitioner is "col
ored" ' upon the fact that site has a
proportion of negro blood, not more
than one-eighth, and not less than
one-sixteenth.
In ending bis opinion Chief Justice
Shepard says:
"It is urged that a hardship will
be inflicted upon the petitioner, a
conclusion at which we have arrived.
It may be, however, that greater evils
would result from a different one.
Be that as it may, our province is to
interpret the legislation, not to en
act it."
