The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, July 13, 1904. Honey in Truck Farming. What the People in Other Sections Have Done Lexingionians Can Do. Truck farmers of Horry and a portion of Marion county are making big money growing strawberries, cabbage, lettuce, onions, beans, cucumbers, and other garden truck for the northern markets. Lexington county is in the same zone as that section of the State; its soil and climatic conditions are the equal, if not superior to those of either Horry or Marion and what the truckers of those counties have done, "made the wilderness to blossom as the rose," ihe trucksters of Lexington can surpass because all conditions are more favorable. We have seen it stated on the authority of a Mr. Lee, the financial 8gent of the Homewood Colony, located near Conway, that the members realized from $125.00 $450 00 per acre on strawberries alone. We mention this fact solely for the purpose of encouraging the farmers of Lexington county to turn their attention to crops other than ootton and the like as a money crop. To obtain an early crop of strawberries the ground is broken and the ; plants set out about the middle of j August or first September. Lettuce I is sown about the same time aod later on is transplanted about a foot apart each way, and protected from the rigors of winter. Onions are set out about the same time. This procedure will ensure early crops which can be marketed at a time when there is a great .demand for garden truck and consequently bring a kigher cash return than the same class of truck would later in the season when they become more plentiful. Of course their cultivation requires intelligent and laborous sod careful work, but then it will pay handsomely when the profits and losees are balanced.

The back salary suit of former Judge O. W. Buchanan will now be fought out in the Federal courts, if (be contention ot tne piamtin is correct. This suit, which was originally filed against the State about a year ago, has been declared of no value, both by the circuit and supreme courts of this State, on the ground that the legislature made no appropriation to pay this salary and that the courts had no power to force a , State to pay an obligation. The claim amounts to about S-i,000, or $500 a year from 1804 to 1902. Iu 1894 the legislature reduced the salaries of circuit judges from S3,500 to 83,000 after Judge Buchanan had been elected. This was the cause of the filing of the suit, and a writ of error has been obtained from Chief Justice Pope in order that the case might be transferred to the Federal courts. The ground of the transfer to the United States supreme court is that the salary was a part of the contract between the judge and the State, and in refusing to pay this salary the contract was violated. It is a most interesting suit, and when the case is called the right of the case will be argued before a hearing is had on the facts. The State will be represented by 1 the attorney general, and it is ( thought that Judge Buchanan will argue the case himself. News from Peter's. The health of our community is very good at present. Riin is greatly needed in this section snd unless we soon get a shower, the yield of crops will be sorry. Mr. Ollie Smith with his beautiful and accomplished sister. Miss Cora, visited Miss Ethel Franklow last SuDday. Rev. J. A. Cromer preached a very interesting sermon, to a large congregation, at St. Petet'e last Sunday. The candidates are getting around shaking hands, and if they don't get your hand and vote it won't be their fault. Mr. W. K. Hook and family visited the mother of the latter, Mrs. M.

We cannot rest aDd be busy at ihe same time and it is not hard to juese what will happen to the brain that insists on fretting and worrying when it should be enjoying the serenity of repose. Happy the man who is able to take the measure of his worries and troubles and value them for what they are. Happy, thrice happy, is the man who can present to their attacks the impenetrable armor of serenity ! His years Bhall be long and full of charity. His bead shall be in the sunshine, and there shall be no shadow about his feet. Old men will follow him and little children shall be his companions. We Commend the Spirit. Edgefield Chronicle. Some counties in our State have adopted the plan recently in imposing exceedingly heavy assessments upon the candidates for the various offices. The object of these enormous assess ments is to pay the managers of the Democratic primary. Edgefield county, on the contrary, however, reduces the assment one-half of what it v;as two years age; and looking at the table of assessments two years age, we find that even then no one could complain of the amounts paid by cur candidates. The Executive Committee, at its meeting last week, passed a resolution endorsing: the same managers of primary election for the General E'ection. It has been the case very often that those cititizens who were managers for the primary election, would not be appointed for the General election. Then, too, the patriotism of the people of old Edgefield county would not admit of the managers of a primary election receiving pay. There is not a man in t his grand old county who would Dot serve his community and county to the extent of working 0De day as a manager of a primary election. In some counties Dot a thousand miles away, we are astonished when we notice the enormous assessment of eacn candidate, depriving to some extent the poor man from entering the race. This is a democratic country, and democratic principles should prevail forever. We commend the spirit af our Executive Committee. Many Children are Sickly.

Dan Emmet wrote the jingle for his minstrel ;roupe, before the war. with not the emotest idea that it would besdopt- j id as a sectional battle-ballad; but, j jomehow, it was picked up, made J ntensely popular and remains so to ;his day. It is the music and the invironment that perpetuate it. Nooody cares much, if anything, about :he rag-time words; but as they were assimilated to the war spirit ; md traditionally continue, no change 3eem8 possible. How the Mails Are Robbed. There is a vast number of employees in the post office department, yet Dnly about 400 cases of rifling the mails are discovered in the course of a year. It is so easy to open and reseal letters that it is a wonder there are not thousands of cases. Their fewness speaks volumes for the honesty of the men in the service. Here is the method of the expert in open: D1 iVio arirolnno I lUg IClltIJi i lQtD I LID CU f ViV^/V ) address down, upon a piece of dry blotting paper. Then lay a piece of wet blotting paper upon the sealed flap and allow it to remain there under pressure of a book or .something for a few minutes. This moistens the mucilage, and the flap may be lifted without injury by rolling a cedar pencil beneath it. The contents being extracted, press the flap back with the dry blotting paper, and nobody can possibly detect the robbery. The only safeguard is sealing wax. Safeguard the Children.
