Jack and his Bean Stalk, or the De
crease of Illiteracy in the South.
Southern Education Board.
If Jack climbs his bean stalk
at the rate of a mile a day and
the bean stalk grows at the rate
of a mile and a quarter a day,
when will Jack reach the top of
his bean stalk? Plainly, only af
ter he has begun to climb faster
than the beau stalk grows.
If in thirty years the number of
illiterate white voters in a state
has increased 21,868, at tho same
rate when will there cease to be
illiterate white voters in that
state? Plainly, only when—they
are disfranceised. But when will
there cease to be native white
males of voting age who cannot
read and write? Certainly not
until better schoole are provided
and lazy and indifferent parents
are required to send their children
to them.
It is probably net generally
known that in every Southern
state there has been in’^Ahe last
thirty years an increase ..in the
number of white males twenty
years old and over who can neith
er read nor write. Yet it is true;
and it is furthermore true that in
no state south of the Ohio and the
Potomac has there been a de
crease in the number of illiterates
of this class in any decade since
1870. On the contrary, there has
been an increase in illiterates of
this class in every state in each of
these three decades.
In 1000 there were in Virginia
8,847 more illiterate native white
men twenty-one years old and ov
er than in 1870; in West Virginia
11851 more; in North Carolina
21,808 more; in South Carolina
8,875 more: in Georgia 10,559
more; in Florida 2,682 more; in
Kentuoky 21,991 more; in Tennos
see 14,705 more; in Alabama 14,-
185 more; in Mississippi 2,986
more: in Loussiana 19,991 more;
in Texas 84,285 more, in Arkan
sas 9,918 more. In 1890 there
were in all these states 175,888
more illiterate native white men
than in 1870. At this rate, when
will there cease to bo a large mim-
ber of illiterate native white vot
ers in these good states? This is
a matter of earnest consideration
of every legislator and every good
citizen in all these states, and the
problem of Jaok and his bean
stalk suggests the remedy.

An Irish Refrigerator.
An Irish woman was looking at
refrigerators in a house furnish
ing store some weeks ago, says the
Chicago Chroniole. After examin
ing into the merits and qualities
of a number of them, she purchas
ed the one that the salesman as
sured her would keep food the
best. Some days afterward the
woman called and requested them
to take the refrigerator biiolc, as it
would not keep anything better
than the kitchen safe or the cel
lar. The salesman mildly sug
gested that possibly she had not
put enough ice in it to keep the
things cold. “Enough ice in it?
Why, you are crazy, mou. I
didn’t put any ice in it. Any
thing will keep cold if you put ice
in it. I kought the refrigerator
so that I wouldn’t need the ioe.”

Mr. J. A. J. Henderson made a
wonderful showing in tilling the
soil Isst year. On 886 measured
acres he made 845 bales of cotton
weighing on an average 450
pounds each. He also made be
tween two and three thousand
bushels of corn, an immense quan
tity of oats and hay and about
2,600 bushels of potatoes. He
has 150 fattening hogs, which he
thinks will eat out the fields by
Maroh, when they will be turned
into bacon. —Ooilla Dispatch.
Croup.
Tht peculiar cough which indi
cates croup, is usually well known
to .the mothers of croupy children.
No time should be lost in the
treatment of it, and for this pur
pose no medicine has received
more universal approval than
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
Do uot waste valuable time in ex
perimenting with untried reme
dies, no matter how highly they
may be recommended, bnt give
this medioine as directed, and all
symptoms of croup will quickly
disappear. For sale by All drug

The Business Year.
To say that in 1902 was the best
year this country has ever experi
enced, while truthful euougji in
the main, does not suggest fully
the enormous strides which the
United States took in the year
just closed, says Bradstreet’s re
port.
“Practically every feature show
ed an increase above the'best of
•previous years, and yet this im
mense enlargement of output was
not sufficient of itself to satisfy
the growing, it might even be
termed insatiate, demand for all
kinds of materials. In many cases
the usual foreign outlet for prod
ucts was, perforce, neglected by
American producers, who confined
their efforts to supplying insist
ent domestic demand, while in
others foreign production was
called upon to reinforce the do
mestic output, with the result that
new currents and channels were
created in our foreign trade- Our
export trade, therefore, shrunk,
while our imports expanded to
unprecedented figures.
“The railroads of the country,
in their efforts to handle the bus
iness offered them, suffered as
never before from congestion and
complaint of interference with
production and distribution of
the products of the farm, the
mine, the shop and the loom was
practically universal. Industrial
unrest was naturally marked, as
it is always is in times either of
prosperity or depression, and seri
ous disorganization of some of
the country’s basic industries re
sulted for a time. In many cas
os however, resort to extremes
was avoided or rendered unneces
sary by liberal recognition by
employers of changes in the stan
dard of living, and it is safe to
say that two men obtained higher
wages or had their working time
reduced without resort to strikes
for every one who actually quit
work.
“Speculation, it is true, felt the
check imposed upon it by conserv
atism, by short crops in the pre
ceding year, aud last, but not
least, by high rates for money;
but despite the fact that stock
market operations were only about
two-thirds those of 1901, bank
clearings, those usually reliable
guides of business, showed aggre
gates practically equal to the hith
erto unheard of totals of 1901.
All this was accomplished with a
minimum of friction, as reflected
by the reduced number aud liabil
ities of failing traders.”
We are pleased to learn of the
good fortune that has come to our
friend, Capt. O. A. Horne. While
boring for oil in his back yard he
struok a bed of eel worms six feet
wide and three feet deep, and now
the fishermen are pouring in from
every direction wanting to buy op
tions. A few more such lucky
strikes and the Captain will be
able to join the “Sons of Rest,”
and take life easy.—Hawkiusville
Dispatch.
A novelty in church architec
ture is proposed in Pittsburg.
The Second Presbyterian church
of that city is contemplating the
erection of a sky-scraper build
ing, the first three stories of
which will be devoted to church
purposes and the remaining floors
to office and other business pur
poses. It is possible that arrange
ments will be made for q, mod
ern department store in the same
building.
Dislocated Her Shoulder.
Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of
Fergus Falls, .Minn., fell and dis
located her shoulder. She had a
surgeon get it back in place as
soon as possible, but it was quite
sore and pained her very much.
Her son mentioned that he had
seen Chamberlain’s Pain Balm ad
vertised for sprains, and soreness,
and she asked him to buy her a
bottle of it, which he did. It
quickly relieved her and enabled
her to sleep whieh she had not
done for several days. The son
was so much pleased with the re
lief it gave his mother that he has
since recommended it to many
others. For sale by All druggists.
