I have several hundred packages
of select-d cotton seed that will be ,
sent to the farmers who want
them. The seed are put up in one
quart packages, and have been
specially grown for the U. S Gov- |
eminent for planting purposes. 1
Tin -s packages of seed are m de
available for the use of the farmers
by Senator James P. Clarke, who !
has received them from the U. S. 1
Agricultural Department The De- !
partment wants the seed tried out. |
and each farmer who tries one of!
the varieties will be given enough
seed next year to grow a bale, and
thus get enough seed for future
use. Write to me if you want one
of these packages of seed.
The varieties are as follows:
1. Lone Star. Big boll: 35 to
40 bolls to the pound: lint 1 to 1 'e:
gins 38 to 40 per cent lint.

Each package contains a pamph
let ■ etci ibi' g the character.;.tics of
the v.-.neties of cotton, and an ex
tended and detailed treatment on
how to select cotton seed and how ;
to improve the crop by seed selec
tion. Despite the fact that this
article is clothed in language and
terms that are mysterious, techni
cal and meaningless to a great
many readers, yet if you have the
patience to read it and break up the
big words and high-sounding phras
es apparently so necessary to im
press upon the reader the learning
of the “Professor'’ who prepared
it. you will be able to get some in- j
formation about seed that will be
valuable. <
It is the wish of Senator Clarke
that these trial packages may be
placed in the hands of those who,
will 'rofit by them and give them a
good trial. If you are interested '
in these seed drop me a card and a
package will be mailed to you at
once.

A Patriotic Creed.
A great New York bank hrs
sent out to newspapers the follow
ing little thought which might well
be memorized by pessimists who
predict Dire Disaster:
"We believe in our country The
United States of America. We be
lieve in her constitution, her laws,
her institutions and the principles
for which she stands. We believe
in her future—the past is secure.
We believe in her vast resources,
her great possibilities—yes, her
wonderful certainties.'
"We believe in the American
people, their genius, their brains,
and their brawn. We believe in
their honesty, their integrity and
dependability. We believe that
nothing can stand in the way of
their commercial development, ad
vancement and prosperity.
"We believe that what are
termed 'times of business depres
sion’ are but periods of preparation
for greater and more pronounced
commercial successes.
"And we believe that in our
country are being worked out great
problems, the solution of which
will be for the benefit of all man
kind."

V Bottling Works Burned.
The Peoples’ Bottling Works'
was destroyed by fire at 4:30
o'clock last Saturday morning,
causing a loss to the owners, W. H.
Reagan and J. J. Cole, of $4,000.
with $2,500 insurance. The origin
of the fire is unknown and it was
under such headway when dis
covered that nothing was saved
from the building. Being isolated
and owing to the fact that the
strong wind which was blowing
through the day had subsided, no
other buildings were fired.

Where Licorice Comes from.
Whore and how is licorice ob
tained? What are the proportior s
of the trade tha* produces it?
A very considerable part of the
licorice root used in America is
from marshy plains in Turkey and
Russia.
This root is not cultivated, but
grows wild in large quantities, gen
erally in great stretches of open
ground where the soil is more or
less da’mp. It is regarded as a
serious pest and greatly interferes
with cultivation. Much land is
abandoned to it. while some is
plowed and sown notwithstanding
its presence. The licorice of com
merce is obtained by evaporating
an infusion of the sliced roots.
This solidified substance is used
for flavoring confectionery and
beer as well as entering into the
make-up of most of the brand 3 of
tobacco.
The growth above ground of the
plant is about t.vo fee. while the
root is about as deep beneath the
soil. The land in Syria from which
the root is gathered is leased from
the owners, the condition, as far <s
lands that are cultivated, being
that the digging out of the licorice
mot must cease when the time
tornes for planting the cereal crops, j
The collecting stations of Syria
are at Antioch. Aleppo. Bagdad and
Damascus. Around the main sta
tions are smaller depots located in I
the midst of the fields, each in
charge of a man whose duty it is
to receive and guard the licorice as
brought in by th° natives. These
latter dig out the root with the
primitive picks used from the time
of ' braham. and carry it on don
tv uinci tuey to
the local station where it is
weigh i, as th payment is accord
veight ind
the; re -. • ■ < < pt for tne
amount a-liv red. 1 raveling cash
iers mounted on horses make the
rounds of the depots, collecting
and paying for the receipts.
The root is piled in great sticks
and when the digging season is
over a watchman takes charge,
and the root remains thus stacked
through the winter and the follow
ing summer, when it becomes quite
dry and is ieady for transportation
to the coast. Great care has to be
exercised that the stacks do not
heat or mildew.
At Smyrna a small quantity of
the root is extracted for the Euro
pean trade, and all the rest of this
great annual harvest of root,
amounting to about 19.000 tons,
is shipped in a raw state to the
United States.
The process by which the lico
rice is extracted from the root has
already been spoken of and it is in
teresting to add that after this is
completed the pulp is pressed, with
American ingenuity, into boards
which are used in cabinet work and
which are said co make up into
novel and handsome articles. Sci

him, to a great extent, to equalize
the personal property of the county.
That he understands the duties
of the office and is in every way
qualified to faitiTfuil> perform them
again as he has in the pist. none
will deny, and he w li appreciate
your support and the office uf Wx
