To Morphine From Doctor's Orders. Habit Worse Than the Disease. Dr. Miles' Nervine Cured Me. When the nervous system has been shat tered by the use of deadly drugs there is nothing to equal Dr. Miles' Nervine in restor ing it to health and normal activity. "I feel so CTateful for what Dr. Miles Re storative Nervine has done for me that I must tell it for that part of humanity that suffers as I have. During- the three years I suffered from nervous prostration I found no relief except when doctors gave morphine. To get rid of suffering I took morphine my self as it was the only thing that would give ease, and now you, who point with scorn at morphine using, how could you, when in such agony, knowing it about the only thing that would give relief, resist it? I knew it was a terrible habit and I knew of its deadly grasp, but I never fully realized its signifi cance until I had used it a number of months. Oh, the misery of being addicted to such a habit. I resolved then and there to quit it and resolved I would never be a slave to any such demon. About this time I happened to notice Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine adver tised and ordered a bottle. After using five bottles I can truthfully say I am cured of using morphine. Now, however much per sons may doubt it, God is my witness I am cured. This testimonial is unsolicited but I feel it my duty to give it for the benefit of the suffering." Mattie Phillips, Prescott, Ark. All druggists sell and guarantee first bot tle Dr. Miles' Remedies.

OBSERVATIONS OF One seldom sees fruit on a hotel table. Indeed one seldom sees fruit on any table. We have heard the question discussed recently as to why there is so little f Why So Little Fruit Used? said that a the table for all the guests at a dinner in an ordinary hotel, but we never see any figs at a hotel. Come to think of it we see very few figs anywhere. They are a most delicious fruit, and the wonder is that people pay so little attention to them. Perhaps this is not a good climate for them ; bnt if it is it would be nice to have them, for nothing is more toothsome than a good, ripe fig. - - 1 t t I There has been some trouble at the A. &.M.

College. through the senior class. A number of students went away and others prepared to go after several had been expelled. President Winston had consolation in the observation that there are plenty of boys and young men throughout the State who will gladly fill up any gap which may be caused by the misunderstanding. It is quite probable that with the experience of years in the future those insubordinrte stu dents will wish they had not been quite so asset live. t t t t There is an occasional discussion about the uses of meats. The Japs are said to live largely on rice and they are very active and strong and equal Eating Maats. the question whether or not it is healthful and helpful to the system ; and ask if vegetables are not tar better. After discussing the matter Collier's Weekly reaches this conclusion : "Like Byron, we still hold that 'man is a carnivorous production' whose 'anatomical construction bears yegetables in a grumbling way Most of all, our sympathy will go out to Burns when he says I " 'Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad cat that want it ; But we hae meat and we can eat. Sae let the Lord be tbankit.' " It X t For a number of years the editor of Charity and Children has been great 'v disturbed by the frequent use of "ken" for "took." and he freely ex "Taken" for "Took." that he says about this careless handling of the parts of the verb. And now we wonder if the editor of Charity and Children it ever annoyed By the use of "sit" for "sat." Well, down this way, and indeed almost any way, it is a common thing to hear even ladies of education and refinement say "sit" for "sat." For instance, tho question will come up in their con versation whether or not a certain lady was at church last Sunday. One will say, "1 don't think Mrs. Jones was at chursh Sunday." "Yes she was," will reply the second lady, "she sit just two seats in front of me." Horrors at such mangling of the parts of the verb ! But it is ascommon as "taken" for "look," and we hope the editor of Charity and Children will address himself to the task of correcting this abuse of "sit." All of which reminds us of what an Episcopal layman taid to a Methodist preacher. They were free friends and said what they pleased to each other, and the Meth odist was making some not very favorable comment about the Episcopa lians always using the prayer book, to wbich the Episcopalian replied, "Well, we do at least address the Lord in good English." Pity but people would learn to address each other in good English. Hit Some days ago at a hotel table we heard the conversation of a number of gentlemen concerning certain conditions in tbe South, and the conversa So the Southern People Bead Much? sation had South. This gentleman from Ohio did not Bay anything harsh about tbe South, nor about the lynchings here. On the contrary he said that for tbe same crimes for wbich negroes are lynched in the South, they would be "strung up," as be put it, in the North. He said that the people in tbe North do not really care as much for the negro as do the people in the South. He says the people here understand the race better than the peo ple there do. But tbe most interesting part of the conversation turned up on the question of reading. The gentleman from Ohio said that he has travelled much in the North and in the South and so has had opportunity to make observations of the people in the different sections. He said that, the people in the North read many times more than tbe people in the South. Some one, he said, made close observation on a railroad car of tbe number of people reading as they leave a city. In the North on a train leaving a city he observed that almost every one is reading ; but in the South on a train leaving a city very few are reading. One person in the company ventured to suggest that tbe price of newspapers may have some thing to do with it in the North you can buy a paper for a penny, but in tbe South you have to pay five cents for a paper of equal size. It was not admitted,however,that the price of the paper could not be the cause of such a discrepancy between tbe reading of tbe people in tbe two sections. The gentleman from Ohio stuck to his proposition, that the people in the North like to read much more than the people in the South. From bis view ot the matter the people of the South are too garrulous, they talk too much and think too little. And when we come down to the truth of it, the indict ment which was not made in any spirit of bit!ernes or ridicule, for tbe most part holds good. The Southern people are not as constant readers as the Northern people, and in this lies much of the disadvantage which we suffer in being considered slow and behind tbe times. We might make good investment with more of our idle time by reading books, maga zines and papers a little more.

Bun Sown Lands, Viigiuian, in the Southern Planter. The great induceirent for men to buy and develop the productiveness of the run-down lands of the South is the facttbat by wise management these lands can be made to pay tor their im provement as they are built up. They become unproductive through a long course of bad treatment, and they ars not suddenly going to be made fertile as they once were by any immediate vast expenditure in green manuring. The man who puts ime on poor land destitute of humus, vith tbe notion of aiding the growth pf cow peas, will find that lime does not help them, as it does ntner legumes. He must get tbe peas first by tbe sid of acid phos phate and potash if on a sandy loath or acid phosphate alcne if on a clay loam. He will find; too; that the nbl verizeu rocs win gite very utile re ... 1 t .tl . ! i. . . turn at once on the -pea, and that for immediate results he had better use tbe dissolved rock. 7ho, having got good growth of ieaa, he will be veiy unwise to turnthem under green, for he will run tbe iisk of damaging s land more than! helping it, and will have cut short the work tbo peas would do fur him, as ibe larger part of their nitrogen gatherjug is done In the atter stages ol their frowth. Then, too, tbe burying of a large growth is a poor preparation for fall grain, wbich needs a well compacted soil In short, our worn Unds have still a great resource of fertility to be brought out by good plowing and tillage and are really undeveloped farms and not mere "places for farms," and properly treated they can be trade to pay for their improvement as they develop and do not need tbe expenditure of a high priced farm on then before giying profitable returns.
