What benefit will such donations be to the poor, struggling lads of the land, who will never be able to ac- quire the advantages of a high school ecucation, much less enter the walls of a university such as Princeton? There wouid be more real charity in giving a modest educaton to a half dozen poor boys—giving them their chance and developing their poten- tlal greatness—than in building a dozen such halls for the pampered scus of the rich. Verlly the charity of the rich is a colossal joke. Some member of the Fort Meade Board of Trade, with the admirable grace and tact that some ptople kave on tap at all times, arose in meeting and critcised the Leader. Fort Meade's excellent newspaper, because, as he claimed, it did not boost the city sufficiently. In the same issue the ofticial minutes of the Fort Meade City Council recites that the proposition of the Leader to print ccrtain legal city notices was turned dcwn and the notices ordered type- written.

One of the speci- | mens collected by Mr. J. H. Tatum, of Bartow, give only 256 pounds per | acre, while another collected by the same gentleman is given as 9,600 pounds; another is given 11,072 an- other 8,448 pounds. Agricultural chemists the world . over consider 4,000 pounds enough for all kinds of agricultural pur- iposes. It is stated that where the low per centage was found it was a!most pure white sand. The speci- men containing the high per centage of phosphorus also contains much lime, hence where this specimen was teken the owner would be throwing money away to purchase eithar of these elements in his fertilizer, Only four specimens are given from Hillsboro county, two of which were cent in by Mr, J, L.
