WEI >X ES DA V, MARCH :?>, 1021, 1 The Story of Our States By JONATHAN BRACE II.--PENNSYLVANIA THE second state to adopt tho Con stitution was P ennsylvanln. Its area of 40,120 square miles is larger than the combined Now Eng land states, except Maine, with Now Jersey thrown lu for good measure. Its name means "Penn's Woodland" aud was so named by King Charles II, who grunted this territory to the Q u a k e r, William Penn, and named lt In commemoration of Penn's father, who had been a distinguished admiral aud on terms of peculiar friendship and Intimacy with the royal family. This grant was made in lieu of ?10,000, which the klug owed Ad miral Penn. On this basis lt originally cost about (2 a square mlle. Pennsylvania has assumed such an Important place among the states that lt 1B often called the Keystone state. This term was probably derived originally because her name was carved on thc keystone of the bridge over Rock creek, between Wash ington and Georgetown. Later on lt was applied on account of the great Importance of the state in national elections. Its delega tion to congress totals 38, sec ond only In size to that from New York, and Pennsylvania accordingly has 38 presidential electors. "? Winiam Penn first came over to America In 1682. The follow ing year he laid out the city of Philadelphia, or "Brotherly Love," which was named after a biblical city In Asia Minor. As Pennsylvania waa the only col ony without a seacoast, Penn obtained from the duke of York the control of Delaware, and un til the Revolution these two provinces were under tho same proprietary government. Quar rels with Maryland over bound aries caused a formal survey to be made by two surveyors, Mason and Dixon, and lt was this which became famous dur ing the Civil war as the Muson and Dixon lino, the dividing mark between the slave and the free states. (@ by McClur* N?wap*ptr 3yn<Moate.) MAKING THE IAHT CALLS, Just before thc cotton acreage of the South ls definitely decided upon by tho planters, the Cotton Associa tion is making the last strenuous efforts to impress upon the planters the importance- the absolute neces sity- for a marked reduction of the normal acreage, lt does not seem to tts that there should he any appeal necessary to the accomplishment of reduced colton acreage. The situa tion at present is so acute, the pros pect for the future so dark as re gards tho price of cotton, that lt would seem that no man could see anything but injury to ????. cotton farmer's cause through another big crop of cot ton. We hear continually, the statement made by fanners that "we are not going to reduce- acreage so much, but WO are going to cut the crop down by not using as much fertilizer as usual. The folly of such a course, as we view lt, is so stupendous aa to leave bollef that any one will follow the plan impossible. Think of it omitting to uso tho proper amount of fertilizer to make a good crop in ordor to reduce tho size of the crop, and wasting valuable time and labor in planting and cultivating a large acreage. Why not bo sonalble about lt? If you aro going to plant ton acres to. cotton and use fertilizer s su?rtclont only for five acres, are you not laying up for- yourself the hard work incldout to the cultivation of tho excess five acres, the picking and all other labor incident to raising a cotton crop? Lot us bo reasonable.' Cut ' tho acreage In cotton, and what cotton ls planted, let it bo done with tho Idea of making tho crop as cheaply as possible. Labor isxono of the big items of expense in making a cotton crop. Thorofore, if wo plant ten acres of cotton In the hope of making, say, six bales of cotton, lt will Inevitably be an expensive crop-a crop on which one can figure loss long before the crop ls picked. But if that acre age be cut to five Instead of ten acres, and tho samo amount of fer tilizer used that would he put upon tho tetlxtores, the crop will cortalnly make live bales, and there will be no greater fertilizer bill to pay than for tho ten acros proposed, half fer tilized. And the labor bill, or the labor expenditure if all tho work is done by tho planter, will be cut In half. That ls the way we look at the situation. It ls folly not to reduce acroage this year; It ls tho height of folly to reduce production by cutting down tho yield per acre. Wo often hear about the over-, worked farmer. Don't add to your burden of labor by decreasing your por aero yield. Thc more you make on one acre the less you have to I labor to make lt, and the less ex pense to make lt. The farmer who ls worked to death and makes nothing ia tho one who tries to cultivate tho universe, skimps his fertilizer, and in trying to make something by this false method of economy, literally does work himself to death. Cut your cotton acreage and put In some food crop. And at least, for tho sake of your family If not for | your own sake, make enough stuff, to carry your stock through next i winter, and sufficient grain and meat ! to insure you not having to trot to | town every few days to buy rations, i H?tions-provisions-ought to go in a constant stream from the farms to the towns, but the reverse in tho South ls the case. And we wonder why we are not prosperous. Tho year 1021 is going to tell a! wonderful story for the Southern i farmer. V\ e do not know what that story is going to be like, but It Is going to recount success or failure- | maybe some of both. The farmer ; who again puts all his energy to the ' production of cotton ls going to be a failure, and maybe "go broke." j Tho man who plants a little cotton I ! and raises a lot of corn, hay, etc.,! and plenty of good, nourishing vege tables and cereals for use during the summer and for putting away for family use In tho winter, ls going to at least live comfortably, and he stands a good chance of making a j good deal of money besides. It might ho possible to hurt such a farmer, but "bust him"-never! "It can't be did!" DIAMOND DYES. Walhalla Women Can Now Dye Old, Faded Garments, Draperies, Anything.

A frosh stain ls more easily re moved than an old one, for the longer tho stain remains in tho fab ric, tho moro deeply lt penetrates tho libers and tho moro difficult it ls of romoval. Tho nature of tito stain should bo known, if possible, before its removal ls attempted, aa this knowledge will detormlne Ibo treatment to bo adopted. Moreover. If un unsuitable stuin-remover is used, tile stain may bo "set" so tliat its removal becomes" more difficult. For example, proteins, such as milk, blood, eggs, aro "sot" If hot water ls used on them. On the other hand, fruit juico stains are easily removed by means of boiling water. Soap, which aids in tho removal of grease spots, "sets" many fruit stains. The kind of fabric upon which the stain occurs should also be known. Cotton and linen aro affected by acids, consequently the use of con centrated acids on theso fabrics is dangerous. After acid has been used some suitable alkali should bb ap plied to neutralize lt. Househald "ammonia, diluted with water and borax, are simple alkalies suitable for this purpose. Wool and silk aro moro delicate than cotton and Huon and require moro careful treatment. The use of very hot water on these fibers must be avoided. Strong alka lies dissolve both wool and silk, and botli aro injured by washing soda or strongly alkaline soap. Acids, as a rule, do not attack wool and silk readily. Rei .ovlng .Specific Stains. 1. Fruit Juice Stains. - Stretch the stained material over a bowl 01 other vessel, securing lt by a strinp If necessary, then pour boiling watei upon lt from a tea kettle at a hotghl of three or four feet, so that th( water will strike the stain witt some force.

Dr. Jameson was ono of the lead ing Baptist ministers and educators of tho 'South.

Tho degree of D. D. was conferred upon Dr. Jameson from Morcer Uni- j verslty, Furman University and the Southern Baptist Theological Semi nary. As a pulpit orator Dr. Jameson had few equals. He possessed a strong, clear voice and could always | deliver his sermons In a manner that appealed to his hearers. In 1895 Dr. Jameson spent several weeks In Palestine. It was his pleas ure and privilege to visit the '?oted places of the Holy Land, where one could almost Imagine he could seo the foot-prints of the Saviour, In order to better flt and equip himself for his Ufe'B work.
