who wants to see Benton County

this and bring it to The Ciiiion.

grower's name and will see to its
shipment to Hon. B. A. Enloe, sec

It is reported that Sara Davis, a
woman of disreputable character,
is down with a loathsome disease
in a negro hovel in South Camden,
and her three children, one a babe
of only a few months, need care
aud attention. Their urgent neec
has been food and clothing, but
their present wants were supplied
Wednesday and yesterday by a few
of our philanthropic citizens. The
little children need looking after
as the mother, who is lying on a
bed made of leaves, is not able to
do so, and she needs bedding auc
medical attention.

TIIK STATK SCHOOL I'l'Nf).
Comptroller Theo. F. King is
figuring out the amount of theeur-
plus on hand to bo applied to the
public school fund on January 1,
1901. He informed a Nashville
Daily News reporter Tuesday that
it would not be less than $250,000,
and it may total more.
This will give 1)2 or 33 cents for
each scholar, figuring on the basis
of the present scholastic popula
tion of the State, 770,011.
The amount to be set aside the
first of the year is that provided
for by an act of the last legislature
Getting aside the surplus of the
treasury at the end of the fiscal
year for the school fund. It is a
decided increase on appropriations
under the old law that set aside a
fund of $150,750 a year, the inter
est on the school fund appropri
ated.
JCXl'EKIMKNT STATION NOTES.
Aii act of the last legislature
placed the analyzing of fertilizers
for the State inspection attheex
periment station. This is in line
with the practice of most of the
States which have a fertilizer in
spection. Many of tne experiment
stations derive considerable reve
nue from this work, which is util
ized in carrying out field and other
experiments, but the appropriation
in this State is only sufficient -to
cover expenses.
The legislature also appropriat
ed to the experiment station the
sum of $10,000 for the purchase of
a tract of land adjoining the farm.

The acquisition of this land make
possible for the first time the es
tablishment of K systematic rota-
tion; it nn.d les the station to en
large its experimental work with
cattle ami hogs aud with f 01 age
crop and to undertake. on u more
extensive cale the improvement
of cereal.
A feeding experiment with beef
cattle was recently begun which is
a duplicate of that conducted last
year. 1(1 grade Ilercfords and 10
grade Shorthorns are being used.
The Herefords will be fed to go on
the market next spring; the Short
horns to goon the grass in the sum
mer. The 1)2 animals are divided
into eight groups of four each
which are given different kinds
and amounts of food. The experi
ment last year indicated that sor-
hum is especially valuable for
stock cattle, the gains of the groups
ed sorghum being next to those of
the silage groups.
Grazing experiments with hogs
were conducted through the sum
mer aud fall, and at present feed
ing experiments in the pen are be
iug carried on. Corn, barley, soia
beans and a combination of corn
and soja bean meal are being fed
against each other. While it is
too early to draw conclusions, it
may be said that the soja bean
gives promiseof being particularly
useful for pork production.
DISGRACE OF TWO Y'OUNO MEK.
The following itm appeared in
the Carroll County Democrat of a
few weeks aero:
A couple of young ilruipts, promi
nent .voiin men, and of the best families
in Atlanisville, McXaky County, where
they did business, were Bent to jail last
week by Judge Hammond for selling
whisky in violation of the law. Every
effort that coald be made by prominent
citizens of their county and friends else
where to save them the disgrace was of
no avail, and the young men who thought
they could do a little whisky selling in vi
olation of the law and not get caught, or.
if ciui'ht, their influence or tbeinlluenee
ol their friends, would .be sufficient to get
them released without much trouble, are
now looking through prison bars and
meditating upon the foolishness of their
acts. There is no business more con
temptible and looked upon with a small
er degree of allowance by the courts than
selling whisky ir. the violation of law.
There can be but little money in it and
the man that does it takes many chances
of getting into serious trouble, "iloot
legging" whisky, like "crap shooting,"
belongs tn negroes, but occasionally you
will Und a white .man with little enough
self respect to tngage in the business,
and as a rule it is only e. matter of a very
short time when they come to grief.
THE SPKEA1) Ofr' -CIllUSTIANITY,
A 'christian friend said to us a
short time ago that he felt greatly
disheartened because there was so
much sin and corruption among
the people, and he was afraid the
world was not being converted to
Christianity.
We reminded him that "God
uiuvt-B in ii w&iei iuus wtiy ilia
wonders to perform," and that fast
time had never been a charactar
istvc of his work.
But still statistics show that in
four centuries the power of the
Iloiiiau Catholic Church has more
that trebled; that of the Greek
Church has increased six time
that of the Protestant Church has
sprung from nothing to a control
of 000,000,000, or more than a third
cf the world's population, and the
spread of Christianity in heathen
lands is now tenfold more rapid
than, ever before.
