FREE SEED DISTRIBUTION.
Americas Times-Recofher
The distribution of field and
garden seed by the Department
of Agriculture, whioh began Mon
day, Nov. 1 will last four months.
About a thousand tons, or a total
of 45,000,000 packages, will go to
the States and Territories of the
Union. Every member of Con
gress is allowed 12,500 packages
of garden seeds in five varieties,
and 500 packages of flower seeds;
all that is necessary for him to do
to get them to his constituents
being for him to file their post-
office addresses with the depart
ment, when the seeds are shipped
to their destinations.
In additon to this, the depart
ment itself has, an allowance of
700,000 packages whioh it sends
to its correspondents throughout
the country, various State grange
associations, weather and experi
mental stations coming in for
shares.
The recent wholesale destruc
tion of seeds about which the de
partment people are quite reti
cent, are said to have been prin
cipally cowpeas and beens that
had rotted.
A faulty feature of past distri
butions whioh, it' is said, will be
corrected this year, svill avert any
more late distributions, such as
was the case last year, when many
of the consignments reached their
destinations too late for use. To
regulate this, the country has
been divided into six districts,and
seeds will be sent to each at a
time ir accord with climatic con
ditions and requirements. Anoth
er feature that has been adopted
is the exchange of seed by Con
gressmen, those having entirely
urban constituents being allowed
to exchange their quota of field
and garden seeds for flower seeds.
Special selections of tobacco
and cotton seed will bo sent to
those districts where it is deemed
they would most likely flourish,
seventy packages, each containing
one peok of cotton seed and 110

^he diSpatcheB of Monday night,
November 2, told of a reoeption
given by President Roosevelt and
his wife to the sailors of the May
flower and the Sylph, two dispatoh
boats in the government servioe.
Among the guests were four or five
negroes. The incident served to
remind the oountry of the Presi
dent’s attitude on former occa
sions, and of some of his utter
ances on the negro question.
QThese things may not have 1 a di
rect connection with happenings
that followed in different parts of
the couutry the next day, but
they oame close enough' together
to have that aippearanoo. ,
At Morgan Park, one of the
suburbs of Chicago, the next day,
the white people of the oity post
ed placards over the town warn
ing all negroes to leave the place
within fort-eight hours. The dis
patch said that several oolored
families had already left and that
others expected to go.
At Pittsburg, Pa., a mob of five
hundred men chased a negro who
had shot a white citizen of the
town and the police had'a desper
ate fight to save the darkey’s life.
On the same day, cut in Arkan
sas,the whites and blacks engaged
in a small war, with the result
that one was killed,several wound
ed and a lynching followed.
On the same day, there were
elections in ten different states
and the Democrats showed big
gains whereever the race issue was
injeoted into the oampaign. In
Maryland that was the only issue
and the result was that the Dem
ocrats changed a large republican
majority into victory for them
selves. ’ Whereever force has been
employed to make the whites aiid
blacks mix, it has been disastrous
to the weaker race.
The President’s attitude toward
the negro, instead of helping him,
only causes estrangement between
the negro and the white man.
And it is so at the North more
than in the South, where the ne-
groe’s best and and most patient
friends live.

NATIONAL PROSPERITY.
Augusta Herald.
Those who have been made rath
er blue and depressed by the facts
thut. the cotton mills have had to
shut down for so long, that there
is a decided depression in the
money market, and that it is log
ical to expect hard times after a
period of abnormal activity and
overproduction, are invited to
consider the following statements,
whioh go to prove that aotual con
ditions in the couutry are against
the return of hard times:
We have more producers and
more consumers,. In the last sev
en years our populatiou has in
creased from 70,254,000 to 79,-
000,000. There are in round
numbers 10,000,000 more consum
ers and producers, more workers,
and purchasers than there were
seven years ago.
In five years the wealth of the
nation has increased from $77,-
000j000 to $94,000,000. In the
same time the money in the coun
try has increased from $1,506,484-
000 to $2,249,890,060. This is
money on a gold basis, subject to
no discount. A dollar is a dollar
to every man. No depreciation* is
possible.
Iu seven years our exports have
increased from $882,696,000 to
$1,881,719,000. This indicates a
constantly increasing foreigu de
mand for our manufactured and
farm products. In ten years our
farms have increased in number
from 4,564(641 to. 5,789J667, and
the farm products have increased
in value fro $2,460,107,000 to $8,-
764,177,000.--
This does' not look as though
starvation was imminent for any
one iu Amerioa. All the world’s
great markets are just beginning
to open up to us, and there is a
constantly increasing demand at
home for what can be made at
home.
A few flashes of lightning do not’
make a storm, and a few ripples
on the surface of the sea of fi
nance do not mean that a des
tructive outpouring of the waters
fiqm the great deeps of business
is about to take place. This is a
time to deal iu facts, not fancies,
and the facts all point to contin
ued prosperity.

Stepped Against a Hot Stove
A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson,
when getting his usual Saturday
night bath, stepped back against
a hot stove, which burned him se
verely. The child was in great
agony and his mother could do
nothing to pacify him. Remem
bering that she had a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm in the
house, she thought she would try
it. In less than half an hour after
applying it the 'child was quiet
and asleep, and in less than two
weeks was well. Mrs. Benson is a
well-known resident of Kellar,
Ya. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
liniment and especially valuable
for burns, cuts, bruises and
sprains. For sale by all druggists.

Young John Rockefeller, a son
of the old man, iu his leoture be
fore his Bible class in the Ffth
Avenue Baptist church Sunday
assailed corporations which are
manipulated to the detriment of
the public good. He said:
“Tfte man or the the corporation
who has not determined in the
outset to do good to others while
doing good to hirpself, will fail in
the end. I have noticed one thing
in my careful observation of busi
ness life: A contract that is all
one-sided,that does not give about
equally to the party of the first
part and the party of the second
part will soon or late be hauled up
in court* and the court will de
cide that the contract cannot hold
good. The men who fix the prices
wrongfully will suffer in the end
They may gain wealth by fraudu
lent transactions for a while, but
their methods will eventually get
them into trouble.”
What the young man says is true,
but it will not make the public
think any better of the big trust
over which *his father presides.
The phosphate rook industry in
Tennessee has had remarkable
growth. The first commercial
shipment of this rock was made
in 1894, and in the eight years up
to the end of 1902 about 2,200,-
000 tons had been marketed,
which had a value of nearly $6,-
000,000. Phosphate rock has thus
become next to coal the most im
portant mineral product of Ten
nessee.

iug a few doses I felt relieved, apd
soon thereafter was entirely cured
