The Census of 1910.

A census, in the fuller sense

which are determining factors
in the lives ol all the people,
whether they live in the country
spar.e or in the cities full,
whether they be farmers or law,
yers, merchants or banker?,
mechanics or manufacturers.

It is all important that a full

1 the census of 1910, the place
will deserve.
We stress the duty of the
Southern States—the cotton pro*
ducing States in particular—for
the reason that the other sections
of the country are, became of
experience, more alive to the
value and the importance of the
census than our section has per*
mitted itselt to be. This is an un
pleasant fact, but it is undeniable
The census of the current
year will win a more command
ing position in the eyes ot the
world than any ot the twelve
that have been written.
During the ensuing ten years
the census of 1910 will be re
(erred to, consulted and quoted
as a standard and sole authority
on all questions which touch the
lives£ot a progressive people
Hence the necessity for a
thorough appreciation of its
value and importance by the
people of the South.
The South has made great
strides along every line of de-
si able growth during the ten
years past. Every fact which
tends to illustrate the high de
gree aud the lull measure of
that progies3 ought to entered
of record, and thus become
part and parcel of the census.
We need carefully to note
and report the facts which relate
to agriculture in all |>ts branches
in the South. Dig deep for those
facts. There {is nothing in the
history of Southern progress ot
which we need not be ashamed ;
everything of which to beproud.
We appe a to our people to
make ready to receive the cen
sus taker. Extend to him a cor
dial welcome. Be prepared to
give him full and accurately
every lact that is diligently
sought loi by the questions
which he will propound.
Understand that^the schedules
which he must |fill with the facts
you give him are not for pur
poses of taxations, but for in
formation—information which,
when presented under the schlar
ly touch of the Bitilied statisti
cians at Washington, who will
edit the census as a whole, will
challenge the wonder and the
admiration ol the world, or, if
reported in an indifferent andun-
appreciative spirit, will militate
against us, against our every in
terest as a cultured and a pro
gressive people.
Do not underrate the value
and the superior importance of
the census of 1910 which is
about to be taken,
Spoiled Because the Man Who Told ft
Had a Poor Memory.
Mr. Sniffin was at a dinner party
given a few days ago at Judge Pit
man’s. While the company were at
the table SnifTin said in a loud
voice:
“By the way, did you read that
good thing of Adder’s the other
day about the woman over in Pen-
cadcr? It was one of the most
amusing things that ever came un
der my observation. The woman’s
name, you see, was Emma. Well,
sir, there were tw'o young fellows
paying attention to her, and after
she’d accepted one of them the oth
er also proposed to her, and as sho
felt certain that the first one wasn’t
in earnest she accepted the second
ono too. So a few days later both
of ’em called at the same time, both
claimed her hand, and both insisted
on marrying her at once. Then of
course she found herself face to
face with a decidedly unpleasant—
unpleasant—er—er—less see what’s
the w'ord I want? Unpleasant—er
—er— Blamed if I haven’t forgot
ten that word.”
“Predicament,” suggested Judge
Pitman.
“No, that’s not it. What’s the
name of that thing with two horns?
Unpleasant—er—er—hang it! It’s
gone clear out of my mind.”
“A cow,” hinted Miss Gridley.
“No, not a cow.”
“Maybe it’s a buffalo,” remarked
Dr. Potts.
“No, no kind of an animal. Some
thing else with two horns. Mighty
queer I can’t recall it.”
“Perhaps it’s a brass band,” ob
served Butterwick.
“Or a man who’s had a couple of
drinks,” suggested Peter Lamb.
“Of course not.”
“You don’t mean a fire compa
ny ?” asked Mrs. Pitman.
“N-no. That’s the durndest,
queerest thing I ever heard of that
can’t remember that word,” said
Mr. Sniffin, getting warm and be
ginning to feel miserable.
Well, give us the rest of the
story without it,” said the judge.
That’s the mischief of it,” said
Mr. Sniffin. “The whole joke turns
on that infernal word.”
“Two horns, did you say?” asked
Dr. Potts. “Maybe it is a catfish.”
“Or a snail,” remarked the judge.
“N-no—none of those.”
“Is it an elephant or a walrus?”
asked Mrs. Potts.
“I guess I’ll have to give it up,”
said Mr. Sniffin, wiping the perspi
ration from his brow.
“Well, that’s the sickest old story
I ever ran across," remarked But
terwick to the judge. Then every
body smiled, and Mr. Sniffin ex
cused himself upon the ground that
he had to meet a man, and he with
drew.
Tho mystery is yet unsolved. I
never concocted any such story as
that, and I have a faint impression
that Sniffin was trying to build one
up by bringing that woman’s name,
Emma, somehow into a pun with
the word “dilemma,” and I am glad
he failed. When a man begins to
palm off his infamous jokes on me
the time has come when he can die
without being missed.—New York
Weekly.
How They Broke Up.
An amusing story is related in
“Canadian Savage Folk” of the
manner in which an adjournment
was taken by a mass meeting. A
missionary who had started a school
among the Indians met with oppo
sition, and the meeting had been
called in support of the rival
scheme.
There were several speakers who
denounced the school in existence.
We replied vigorously, showing the
efficiency of the school and de
nouncing in turn the methods
adopted by the opposition. An In
dian chief produced some specimens
of work done at the school, and sev
eral speakers supported the work
as it was being done. The climax
was reached when a gentleman rose
and said:
“I move the whole thing bust!”
The chairman put the motion.
“It is moved and seconded that
the whole thing bust!”
The audience sprang to their feet
and, waving hats, yelled “Busted!”
and made for the door. Thus end
ed the first and last opposition in
that matter.

If you feed your crop just once each year, how important it is that you feed it such ele
ments as will nourish it till it has come to maturity.
Blood, Bone and Tankage fertilizers as illustrated by our “Supreme” and “Southern Big”
brands, feed your crop from the sprouting season till the crop is gathered and then leave added
fertility to the soil for the next crop. Many fertilizers become exhausted before the fruiting
season begins, and wholesale shedding results. _ ,
Avoid this by using “SUPREME” and “SOUTHERN BIG” Brands. They increase tho
yield. Tell your dealer that you must have them.

Early Needles.
It is said by some that steel nee
dles were invented by the Moors.
Before their general diffusion
throughout the civilized world
thorns and fish bones, the latter
with a hole pierced for an eye, were
ia use. The first needles made in
London were by a Moor, in the reign
of Henry VIII., and in Queen Ma
ry’s day steel needles were sold in
Ohcapside and other streets of Lon
don. After this time the manufac
ture increased rapidly, many Ger
mans migrating to England and es
tablishing needlo works in various
places.
