C. T. Oakley, the man found in the
swimming pool at Lakewood Park,
was here today with several friends
looking into the circumstances sur
roundfng the mysterious death of his
brother,. Yet thS park mystery is
as great a mystery as it was on Tues
day afternonn. From the circum
stances learned here, and the know

vinced that it is a case of murder.
In fact it is generally believed now
that it is murder. ' ;. t ;

Mr. T. E.s Helms, of Sharon town

Educating the Boys.
The farmer who is in a position to
send his boys to college to study for
arff of the learned profession medi
cine, law, or what not usually con
siders that the boys who stay at
home to work the farm can find all
the necessary education they need in
the common school.. It is now an
accepted view that, in all depart
ments of human effort the educa
ted man has a decided advantage.
There is no occupation in which
more new theories and speculations
and more problems are constantly
arising than on the farm.. Scientific
farming today under the methods
developed at the experiment station
and by practical men everywhere is
no more kin to the old haphazard
kind than the wheelbarrow resembles
the modern locomotive. The farm
er who works without a knowledge
of the laws of - plant and animal
growth and of soil fertility is like
the sailor navigating the seas with
out compass or rudder. He merely
sails before the breeze, but when
tne storm comes ana snoais appear
his vessel is wrecked. M., V. Rich

Yeani Man, Save Toar Mono.
It is almost impossible for a young
man who does not save money to
make a business start in the world.
Most young men are wishing for bet
ter, positions and bewailing the im
possibility oi doing, anything on a
small salary. They want to go west
or south, they want to make money
hand over fist but their ambitions
are checed right at the start for the
want of a little ready money to be
gin on. A young man who has not
the stamina and backbone to put
aside little temptations and save
portion oi his salary each week or
each month is not likely to accom
plish much in life. If his purpose is
not strong enough to enable him to
make a few sacrifices for the sake of
his ambition he cannot expect to be
successful ultimately. The history
of .successful men shows strong pur
pose and invincible-determination.-r
American Boy,
. The Power of Cotton.
While cotton was cultivated for
fifteen hundred years before Christ
by Hindoos and is cultivated to some
extent by other countries, it is-in
the south that over three-fourths of
the world's supply is raised. With
our youth skilled in every detail of
cotton growingr -seed selection, plant
breeding, fertilizing, preparing the
seed-bed, cultivation we may con
fidently expect the south to hold - a
practical monopoly of the . world's
greateststapTe crop, and at the same
time continue to increase the yield
to meet the ever increasing demands
of civilization.' ; Dr. Walter H. Page,
of the world's Work, is correct in
hi3 prediction that "we are in sight
of the time when the cotton grower
of the old slave states .will become
the most prosperous tiller of the
earthi" It is a question of increas
ing the yield per acre, reducing the
cost per bale, improving the Jibre,
and maintaining a fair price for the
products. The Cotton" Journal, s ,

A Contrast.
When Miss Loving was called up
on to tell her story in the murder
trial at Houston, Va., the court
room, by order of the judge, was
cleared of all except those whose
presence was necessary to the con
duct of the case. Commenting upon
this, the-Nashville Banner remarks
that "it is in pleasing contrast with
the conduct of the Thaw trial
ew iorK, wnere numbers oi wo
men thronged the court room
throughout the trial, listening eager
ly and unblushingly to the most sa
lacious details, and where Evelyn
Thaw was compelled to relate her
pitiful story in the presence of
gaping crowd." we could never
imagine a scene anywhere in the
South like that which was daily pre
sented in the Thaw trial. Southern
women art too well-bred and have
too keen a sense of the proprieties of
life and of their station in life, to
lend their 'presence to sensational
court scenes; and when a woman
has to tell a story of embarrassment,
southern chivalry protects her as
far as possible. -Chaiio L te Chronicle
.- Not All Alike.
prosperity never strikes two men
the same way. Let some people be
come prosperous and the days of
their usefulness have well-nigh de
parted. This is especially true of the
negro who is making wages that are
a little above his necessities. You
not infrequently hear it said that
high wages have ruined him. He
makes enough in a week to keep him
going a month and he is consequent
ly inclined to loaf.
Then what seems to be prosperity
to one man doesn't look that way
to another. One man will see the
country in a prosperous condition
when the "big fish are eating up the
little fellows." Another can't see
and prosperity in it unless the "lit-
tle'flsh are feeding on the big
one. ' Uthers still think that the
country is prosperous when money
is circulating, crops are "good, pro
ducts are in demand or labor is high
This is probably the view of the aver
age man, but prosperity doesn't
strike all alike.
Maa'i Body.
On an average man's body there
are 340,000 hairs. Plucking one ev
ery second, it would take him twelve
eight-hour work days to pull them
all out. In his blood there are 25,
600,000,000,000 red corpuscles. Laid
out side by side they would cover a
surface of 3,130 square yards. The
whole of the blood pases through a
man's heart nearly twice in every
minute, It weighs one-thirteenth
of the entire body weight, and it
moves in different parts of the body
at speeds varying from ten feet to
1,666 yards (nearly one mile) ' an
hour. The fat of your body is fluid.
It becomes solid when the body cools
after death. It is one of your most
useful constituents, forming a non
conducting sheath to protect you
from cold, acting as pads to preserve
from shock, on the tips of the fingers
the toes, and the heels, and lying al
ways ready as a reserve food supply
when you can get nothing to eat. -..
