Henry Ward "Beecher once said: "In "the United States every worthy citizen -reads a newspaper and owns It. A newspaper Is a window through which men look out on all that ia going on in tlie world. Without a newspaper a man is shut up In a small room and knows little or noth ing of what Is happening outside of himself. A good newspaper will· keep a man in empathy with the world's current history. It Is an ev er unfolding encyclopedia, an un bound book, forsvsr issuing and nev. er finished." Five deaths from pellagra were re ported Monday in Butler county, Ala., together with eight other <ases under observation. Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould obtained her final decree of divorce from Frank J. Gould Tuesday. Tbe de cree gives the custody of the two children, Helen and Dorothy, to each parent for six months in the year. Governor Kltchln has recommend ed that Col.

B. 1859, of Springfield, Vans., tint Rum of fifteen thousand dollars ($1.5,000) to establish in his niemory three scholarships to be known as the James A. Rumrlli Schol ai ships. " Two scholarships of $225 each « ill be offered every·year to proper ly qualified students In their first year of residence as undergraduates In Harvard College who enter Har vard from secondary schools in Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Caro lira, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee oi Kentucky. In the assignment of these under graduate scholarships consideration is to be given, in accordance with the terms of gift, "to the qualities of manliness, leadership, and well rounded development, as well as the scholarly attainments of the candi dates as shown by their school rec ords or their records in the admis sion examinations, or both." The above scholarships will be as signed on or about September 15th for the academic year 1909-10. Ap plications should be in tbe hands ol the Secretary not later than Septem ber 1, 1909. The assignment ο scholarships for the year 1910-11 will be made on or about June 1, 1910, and applications for that year should be in the hands of the Secre tary not later than May 1, 1910. Applications should state clearly the grounds on which financial aid I required, and they should be accom panied by testimonials from teacherc and others regarding the qualifica tions mentioned in the terms of the lift. _ A scholarship of $225 will be of fered each year to a properly quali fied graduate of a college or univer sity in the states above mentioned who desire to pursue his studies In one at the graduate departments ot Harvard University.

Applications should specify the department of Harvard University that the candidate wishes to enter and should be accompanied by a copy of his college records and testimo nials concerning his character and ability from teachers and others. The quality rather than the number of the testimonials is important. High Rolling. Charity and Children. One of the evil results of the pros perous period wliich is In the past— and painfully so—Is the habit of ex travagance which tt bred and whict has reacted all classes of people. J gentlenitn who lives in one of oui cities told us not long ago that he knew of cases in which heads ol households had mortgaged theli homes for money to buy automo biles; and that he kngw qt clerks Id dry goods stores making (50 apd $75 a month who rode about towp In handsome machines. It Is very nice for a man with sufficient in come to warrant it to invest a thou sand or fifteen hundred dollars on < luxury like an automobile, but it 1 not healthy for anyone to encum ber their homes to provide these" handsome and costly rigs. We are In the midst of a panic as severe as has been known for fifty years, but we are living at the same high roll ing rate that was born of prosper ous times. After awhile something is going to break, and the man who Is traveling at too high a speed will get a jolt. We hope a halt will be called before It is too late. Gradual ly we may expect the better times tc «rtilch we are all looking, will come, but the abnormal, unnatural pros perity of the past decade will hardly return. The Immediate task ahead of us is to adjust ourselves to the new conditions, do less business or paper, and move on th£ substantial basis of cash. We must learn to pay as we go, or not go. We most walk if we cannot afford to ride. We must etav at home rather than bor row money to go abroad. We must, even be content with modest church es that we ourseiveg are able to build rather than erect splendid " tgmplet on money furnished by the bank. W< I would say to our young men: Live ! within your income. So not spend your salary in advance of its pay ment. Have the courage to say nc to the pressure go peculiar to oui time, that would drive you in deb-! for things you can do without. We are roiling a little too hjgh, W would better alight and start on olf mother earth where everything k solid and safe. ■—Yesterday was circus day, «and while there was the usual large crowd In town, the day passed off quietly, only two or three cases for disorderly conduct being on docket for trial at this moraing's police Cpurt. ···' " - 4. * · - V . . ... FARMING THAT PAYS. < ·· ·' - - 1 More Attention Being Paid in the Carolines to the Growing of Corn and Wheat. Charlotte Observer. Perusal of the newspapers of the two Carolluaa gives the gratifying information that the farmers im plying more attention to the pro duction of com and wheat than for many years past. These grains are again becoming staple crops. "Farm>l ers lire again looking to their pro duction 'as η market product of the farm and are ho longer content with simply raising enough, or much less than enough, for hi>me7rnnsuniption. This has not yftt b^jinne a universal custom, but It Is spreading every year. And Virprjf year there are more farmers whjf practice Intensive farming. They are becoming more acd mere lntcrésted in _lncreasing the yield per acre with all crops and at the same time Improving the con dition of the soil. They are learning that large yields with proper fertiliz ing and cultivating do not exhaust the land as much as small yields with poor farming. Thirty and forty bushels of wheat, seventy to one hun dred bushels of corn and a bale and a half of cotton to the acre are much more frequently secured now than a few years ago. Men who make here tofore wrfrn-out lands produce such crops finds that there Is money ip farming and that the mqre they can produce on an acre the more profita ble It is. Evéry year more men are falling In line with these advanced farmers, both In lncreestag the yield per acre and diversifying theli crops. There is a bumper snake crop In Pikes county Pa., this year. Martin Courtriglit, a State game warden, of Hunters Range, in Pike county, sta ted when in Strousburg last week that from April 15 to July 18 he had killed 115 snakes, most of them be ing rattlers of large size.

Wonderful Advance Being Made in Promoting Means of Communica tion. Carrollton (Ga.) Free Press. Every time we pick up a newspa per or magazine we find one or more articles regarding the wonderful ad vance being made in promoting means of communication. In the country where the roads are practi cally Impalpable for months In the year "Good Roads" Is the slogan. In those sections already enjoying good roads the farmers are buying auto mobiles. In the larger cities where there are both good roads and autos, dirigible balloons and aeroplanes are being experimented with to the de light of the crowds who flock out ev erytime they hear a rumor of an at tempted flight. Flying machines, automobiles and good roads may In time reach al parts of thie country, mountain and valley, hill and swamp, but some of us do not want to wait for them. Life Is too uncertain and short at best. Then, too, there is one thing whiclj is surer than an airship, requiring good weather, or automobiles de pendent upon good roads. It may not he Quite so romantic, but it is within the means of every one of us, and it ie available at any time. The rural telephone, the farmer's best hand and his wife's best friend, has come to stay. Sfo matter how many deliveries the R. P. D. man may make, nor how easily graded and smooth the roads, there always come times when you want some one or something "right now," and the rural telephone la the thing which Is going to. solve the problem. The Oainesboro Telephone Compa ny has been exploiting this particular branch of their business recently, and I· meeting with marked success. All through Carroll, Haralson, Polk and Paulding counties lines are be ing built Into their exchanges. The service 'given over the lines if a con stant source of wonder to many of the old settlers who were not famil iar with the magic of the "voice In the box". One reason for this gen eral satisfaction is that the lines are being /properly constructed, and are equipped with Western Electric Bell grade telephones, recognized as best telephone apparatus In the world. , ' Rural telephone lines can be built· at such slight expense and they are such a potent factor in the develop ment of both the business and social life of a community that we look fop ward to the time when every farm will have its telephone* A man and a mule are a good combination In a cotton or a corn flejd, but as a means of securing information or assist ance quickly, they inapt give w^y to the newer and better method. imSchpol Or»ngc «oupty, ^tφr Mçbanc.
