In Loving Memory of Mrs. Eleanor
Leigh Potts.
Born April 5, 1836; married to G. W.
Potts Sept. 19, 1865; left her home on
the hill to ascend to her heavenly home
in the evening of. Jan, 25, 1916, to be
welcomed by loved ones gone before,
and to be forever with the Lord.
*'How beautiful to be with God,
When earth is fading like a dream,
And from the mlat-enciroled shore
We launch upon the unknown Btreamj-
No doubt, no fear, no anxious care,
But comforted by staff and rod,
In the faith-brightened hour of death
How beautiful to be with God I’*
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for
they shall Bee God. ” Think of stepping
on shore and finding it heaven; of claBp,
ing a hand, and finding it God’B handl
Mrs. Eleanor Leigh Potts, youngest
daughter of A. B. and Eleanor Drane
Leigh, was one of nine brothers and
sisters, a family of the Old South that
lived in comfort and dispensed a hos
pitality for which that age was his
toric, but is fast becoming only a beau
tiful memory. Only one of the family
circle remains, Capt. Tom Leigh, her
youngest brother, now in his 84th year
a frail link to a past generation. She
preserved in her mode of life many
ante-bellum customs. A woman of
noble impulses, who illustrated the
beauty of a life of unselfitiT 'service,
thinking last of self—oh, as her pastor
said, not thinking of herself at all.
She wove the web of life with threads
of silver and gold. In its warp and
woof were mingled joy, sorrow and
heart emotions, In the sanctuary of
her well-ordered home, the abode of
hospitality, culture and refinement, her
character shone with resplendent beau
ty. A woman of lofty ideals, a charming
exponent of the old life in the. South,
hers was a long and eventful life,-filled
with many interesting reminiscences. A
“woman of the Confederacy,” she act-
| ed her part with the courage of a true
| heroine. Her retentive memory and gift
of recital brought vividly to younger
venerations those times that tried
ten’s souls. She was noted for her
^ireless industry and her’ conscientious
avotion to duty, Her manifest in
rest in others won for her a host of
tends, in whose affections she occu-
>d a warm place. Her great heart
tured itself out in love on her de
nted family. As a wife she illustrated
full meaning of the' marriage vow.
SOkany years ago her husband went
faq cross to that strange country—the Beyond;
g.r Id yet not strange, for it has grown to be
W+Je home of those of whom we are so fond.”
id she was left to walk the descend-
jg slope of life’s pilgrimage a widow;
but the care bestowed on her by her
children was touchingly beautiful. To
\her children the words “mother” and
j“hoirie” mean eternal youtji. Sho be
lieved in the ultimate triumph of her
prayers for those she loved, and hav
ing committed them to the mercy of
God with many prayers, her faith
reached up to Him, believing in HIb
power to save. Joining the Presbyte
rian church in her youth, she was loyal
to her church and its pastors while life
lasted; but her life of Christian service
obliterated denominational lines, her
sympathy and deeds of kindness going
out to all creeds and races. It wbb a
pleasure to her to give time, or ser
vice, or money to the needy, or any
cause of the great King. She pos
sessed in an enviable degree the rare
gift of helpfulness. The removal of
such a character means loss, unless it
means inspiration to nobler living. She
made the world better, brighter, hap
pier by having lived in it. The years
passed over her so gently we could not
realize that she was very old. Her
strong mind was not impaired by time,
her heart never grew old, but was a
fountain of perpetual youth. Like her
Master, Bhe went about doing good.
Thus sped her useful life for many
years, she looking forward to its ter
mination with calmness, seeing beyond
life's gray autumn and the shadow of
life’s sorrows the clear outlines of her
Father’s house above, where grief has
lost its pain and death never comes.
She loved the open country, its vistas
of landscape, the BunBhine and flowers,
birds and flowers, trees and running
brooks. So, on a spring-like day in
January, after funeral services touch
ingly conducted by her pastor, Rev. J,
E. Hannah, her body was carried to
the family cemetery in the country—a
gentle elevation overlooking her an
cestral home, and surrounded by grassy
slopes of hill and dale, and the spring
and brooklet on whose banks she had
played in childhood, and laid to rest
among those whom in life Bhe had
loved so well, under a mound of rare
flowers and the immortelles of lasting
love.. She sowed the seed; immorta
will bloom the flowers. N. L. C.
Ground has just been broken in Lon
don for a huge new permanent exhibi
tion building to be known as the Pal

Now in Good Health Through Use
of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound. Say it is Household
Necessity. Doctor Called it a
Miracle.
All women ought to know the wonderful effects of
taking Lydia E. Pirikham’s Vegetable Compound even on
those who seem hopelessly ill Here are three actual cases:
Harrisburg, Penn.—“ When I was single I suf
fered a great deal from female weakness because
my work compelled me to stand all day. I took
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for that
and was made stronger by its use. After I was
married I took the Compound agam for a female
trouble and after three months I passed what the
doctor called a growth. He said it was a miracle
that it came away as one generally goes under
the knife to have them removed. I never want to
be without your Compound in the house. —Mrs.
Frank Knobl, 1642 Fulton St., Harrisburg, Penn.
Hardly Able to Move.
Albert Lea, Minn.—“For about a year I had sharp pains across
pay back and hips and was hardly able to move around the house.
rMy head would ache and I was dizzy and had no appetite. .After
/taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and haver Pills, 1
am feeling stronger than for years. I have a little boy eight months
old and am doing my work all alone. I would not be without your
Temedies in the house as there are none like them. Mrs# *.».«<•
Tost, 611 Water St., Albert Lea, Minn.
Three Doctors Gave Her Up.
- Pittsburg, Penn.—“ Your medicine has helped
roe wonderfully. When I was a girl 18 years old I
was always sickly and delicate and suffered from
irregularities. Three doctors gave me up and said:
I would go into consumption. I took Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and with the third
bottle began to feel better. I soon became regular
and I got strong and shortly after I was named.
Now I have two nice stout healthy children and am
able to work hard every day.” — Mrs. Clementina
Duerrino, 34 Gardner St.,TroyHill,Pittsburg,Penn._

World’s Leading Tobacco Town.
Following are extracts from an ad
dress delivered by Col. A. D, Watts,
Collector of Im ernal Revenue for the
Fifth District of North Carolina, at a
smoker given by The’ Twin pity Club,
Winston-Salem, February 4th, 1916:
"Winston-Salem Is supplying one-
fourth of all the chewing and Bmoking
tobacco consumed in the United States,
besides exporting vast quantities to
foreign landB. This statement is taken
from the report of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue for the first quarter
of the present fiscal year and from pri
vate advices from Washington, as to
the Second quarter, which ended De
cember Slat, last.
‘Your city is making one-seventh of
ail tobacco products — chewing and
smoking tobacco, cigars; cigarettes and
snuff—manufactured in the United
States. Your manufacturers are pay
ing on an average about $37,000 a day
revenue lakes to the Government, and
the amount is increasing from month to
month. When your Government build
ing, much the handsomest in the State,
was completed last July at a cost of
$250,000 your newspapers made the
statement that the taxes paid in your
city to Uncle Sam for the first eight
days of its occupancy would pay for it.
Since September, it has taken only a
fraction over seven average dayB’ col
lections here to equal its cost. So far
this week, Mr. Cranford has taken in
16,428.50. I' predict that before 1916
shall have ended your average weekly
payments to the Government on tobacco
will more than pay for this magnificent
building, leaving the collections for the
other fifty-one weeks bb clear profit to
the Government.
“Winston-Salem is shipping on an
average each week day tq’"aU- parts of
this country and to foreign Elands at
least $160,000 of tobacco products.
‘In conclusion, Winston-Salem manu
factures more tobacco, (all tobacco pro
ducts are taken into this statement,)
than any city on earth, little or big.
Industrially, she is easily first in North
Carolina, population considered, first in
America, and I believe, in the world;
socially, a never failing delight to her
friends.”

Serious Situation.
Chrijtian Index.
Newspapers are facing a crisis un
precedented since the Civil War. There
is a real famine of the paper on which
they are printed. Sixty per cent, of the
pulp, or more, from which the paper is
made, has been supplied by Canada and
other countries involved in the Euro-
pean war. These countries have for
bidden the shipping of pulp into the
United States and into other countries.
The paper mills in the countries at
war are not permitted to export paper
into other countries, and they are al
lowed to make only enough to supply
home consumption. The reason for
this action is that they are now using
pulp for the manufacture of explosives.
The paper mills of the United States
cannot get the pulp for the manufac
ture of paper, and South America is
looking to North America for her sup
ply of paper. The result is there is not
enough paper to go around, and the
prices are almost forbidding. For ex
ample, prices have almost doubled with
in the past thirty days. The paper on
which The Christian Index is printed
has increased from $3.85 per 100 pounds,
delivered in Atlanta, to $7.50 per 100
pounds. If it does not go any higher,
the paper on which The Christian Index
is printed will cost $54.$0 a week, or
1,920.48 a year more than it cost thir
ty days ago. Besides, we have no as
surance that we will get the same kind

3. R0THAM8TED EXPERIMENT STATION AND FERTILIZERS.
The Third of a Series of Six Articles
The RothamBted Experiment Station is in England, and Is noted for
the great work It has done along all lines of agricultural work. It has
gone Into the laws of soil fertility, Iisb been the first to dlsdover many of
these laws, and has In all Its history been especially . Interested In working
out a plan of farm management by Which soil fertility could be maintained
at minimum cost to the farmers.
The Rothamsted experiments began In the year 1837, when Sir John
Bennett LaWes began experiments on his private estate. He was a man
who loved the soil and to experiment with It,’ Strange to say, he was a
fertilizer manufacturer In a certain sense, bb he early discovered a process
for transforming bone into superphosphate by the use of sulphurio add,
took out a patent for this In 1842, and built an extensive business which
he managed for about thirty years. In 1848 he associated with him J. H.
Gilbert, and these two men for more than fifty years conducted extensive
agricultural Investigations In regard to soils and fertilizers, and feeds and
feeding of domestic animals. In 1889 Sir John turned over hU large estate,
which had now grown so Important, and had become bo well known In all
parts of the civilized world, to a board of directors, and endowed It with
half a million dollars.
Twenty Years Experiments on Same Plot*.
Among many other things that were done, experiments were conducted
with fertilizers, mineral salts, and many forms of ammonlates, also with
animal manures, to determine JuBt what soils needed to grow the most crops.
For this work plots of ground were set aside, marked off and carefully
measured, and then planted to the crop with which the Investigator wished
to work. Small plots would be UBed for the different kinds of mineral and
animal manures, and In each series one plot would be left unfertilized
throughout the entire experiments, while the others would have applied the
different combinations of fertilizers, eto. Careful roportB were taken from
each end of these plotB, and with Interesting results. The same experiments
were continued for twenty years and more.
Many experiments were conduoted with hay, and some of these with
the following results: The plots that had no manure of any kind averaged
In twenty years, 2,383 pounds of hay; the plots which had mineral manure
alone, 3,598.pounds; the plots with ,mineral manure and 400 pounds of am-
monla salts, ,5.711 pounds of hay; those with mineral manure and 600 pounds -
of ammonia 'Salts, 6,726 pounds of hay,; the plhts which- received the jnlnerdl
manure and nitrate of soda '6,407 pounds of hay. Considering 'the very low
coat of the fertilizers in comparison to tha increased yields brought about by
their use, one could not fall to see the value of the manure salts,
Larger Yields Wore Always Obtained.
The Jt.qthamsted station was interested in the permanent improvement of
land and the part played in this by the UBe of fertilizing materials. From the
many experiments carried out, there was never a doubt of the wisdom of
applying plant food to the soil. Larger yields were always obtained, other
things being equal, and the fertilization of the soils throughout England and
her possessions recommended. It was decided to ascertain the effects of
fertilizers■ on corn. Seven plots were treated as follows:
, Plot T. ' Unmanured. •
Plot 2. Mixed mineral manure, 800 pounds sulphate of potash, 200 pounds
sulphate soda, 100 pounds sulphate magnesia, 350 pounds superphosphate
lima.
Plot 3. Ammonia salts, comprising 200 pounds BUlphate ammonia and
200 pounds muriate of ammonia.
Plot 4. Ammonia salts and mixed mineral manures, as Plot 2.
Plot 6. Five hundred and forty pounds Peruvian guano.
Plot 6. Two thousand pounds, rape cake.
Plpt, 7. 'Fourteen tons farmyard manure.
The results of six years of experiments follow: The greatest Increase
In yields was obtained with fertilizers richest In ammonia. The ammonia
saltB, the guano and rape cake gave the largest Increase, which waB about
tour or five bushels Increase of dressed corn. ' In Plot 2, whore only the
mineral manures were used, the Increase wbb leaBt, while In Plots 3 and 5 it
was greater, and In 4 greatest. It seems that the mineral manures needed
the effect of the ammonia BaltB In order to help them become available. There
was in every case a substantial increase where fertilizers were used over the
plot! that remained unmanured.
The great object in giving the above information is to bring to the atten
tion of farmers and business men that the question of fertilizers for the aver
ager farm erdps is a subject as old as any farm of agricultural education, and
Rothamsted did much fundamental work on it. In no case was It found
that ammonia salts and other mineral manures, when applied together, were
not valuable. Farmyard manure waB somewhat valuable by Itself, but far
so when ammonia BaltB were applied with It.
