[ Written for tho Marlboro Democrat.1 uiiiliuu nfll o mumu?u A Temperance Story. BY "DILSEY DINKS." [Copyright, IS90 ] CHAPTER III. GRANNY NAR'? RELKASU; :.y . . ? . , '.i j ? Walter was getting worse daily. Iii tempor?neo with its mighty oc topus-like claws hugged him in hoi' cl HO embrace, timi the result was a man so changed in disposir lion and manner, not td say per sonal appearance, that his best friends would not have recognized him had they not watched his gradual descent, and foreseen that this WHS tho inevitable result. Tho Bible truly says, "As ye sow, so shall'yo reap," and Wal ter's lifo was no exception to this groat, majestic and universal law of God. Ho was no longer tho genial, sun ny-tempered young mun he once was, but was sullen and morose. The shadows in his con duct had now no bright, silvery linings of kindness and generosity to relieve their sombro hue. His onco finn, quick step had changed tc xMtiC'?"og gait ; Ivis form was no loh^,. e>oct and man ly ; his _o?C8 wereJ^owing (L^ll. and l?streles?-oven his laughter was forced and mit thiess. Ho had now begun to sadly neg let his daily work, and his bro til ers felt that should he not soon change for the better ho would re ?oive Iiis discharge from the fouu dry-tho only wonder was that he had boen retained so long. Once each month, if not oftener, ho got on a protracted "spice ;" at other times he seldom came home until after midnight-frequently in ti s ta te of beastly intoxication-mak ing tho night hideous with his drunkou revelries. Yet, my reader, "Rovllo bini not-tho Tnrnntcr bath A ?mim for nil ; Anil pitying toar?, not ?corn anil wrath, Rent his fifi! ! ' This sud, deplorable state of affairs existed a long while-so long in fact that, with the excep tion of Mrs. Harvest and "Granny Nap," tho entire family became disgusted with Walter. Pat thought a "homeopathic treatment of tho caso succeeded by a neat coat of tar and feathers might bo beneficial ;'' Robert that "complete isolation with nothing to read" would bo botter; what William thought no ono knew he only grew graver and more pre occupied than was his wont. .But it was as '"Granny Nap" had so often said, "In God's own time, and in God's own way." In her humility, the thought that she would be the instrument of arresting Walter's erring feet, and of bringing him for tlio first time to a realizing souse of lits dtity as a man, never entered her thought?. ?She loved and prayed more-if that wero possible, and-"waited on tho Lord." * -X- # * # "An angel visited tho ? eon earth" and "Granny Nap's" trust ing soul was boroo on wings of love to Him whom she had served so long and so faithfully. "Granny Nap dead?" "Yes," said Walter's mother to him, as she met him at the door about day break in tho morning, "And sho died, my precious son, praying for you. Then sho left him with his dead. Ho looked at tho calm, peaceful face, tho meekly-folded hands hands that always before this had been strotched out to him in a glad, loving Welcome-and ho was thoroughly sobered. "Granny Nap dead I"-over atid over again ho repeated these words, as if to force tho sad truth homo to his heart.' How vividly ho recalled her great, unsoliish lovo for lura ; and tho thought cunio to add groato" poignancy to his grief-how cou!?.' ho over have given her tendor, loving heart so m ooh sorrow I His lovo for his grandinothor had boon tho groatest love of his life, and he. had been lavish in his affectionate caro of her. Never in his most dissipated moments had ho boon cross or rudo to "Granny Nap"-ho was so glad to romom bor that now. Nothing had como botweon thom until tho lovo of strong drink took possession of him. Time and again, aftor ho had re covered from tho offoots of ono ol his drunken revelries, ho would bc so deeply touched by ber look ol mingled sadness and loving re preach-though she spoke never n word-that ho would promiso him self that for "Grnnny'a sake" he would "turn over a now leaf." But if tho "loaf" was turned it wns only darkened by his owr hideous sin, and nu?o blurred bj tho bitter tears of his loved ones than tho previous ono had been Much as lie professod to love .'Granny Nap," ho had not hut sufficient manly courage to resis tho allurements so inviting!; ollbred weak mortal.! like Itimsel by Intemperance and her allies evil associates and tho giblet saloon.

BARBER TELLS WHY SOME PEOPLE DON'T MAKE MONEY FARM INO. [From (he Yorkot'Uc Fnquirer.] Mr. F. H. Barber is well known as one ol Ycrk County's most successlul farmers. He lives at Richburg, but owns about four thousand acres in Eastern York, where he does most ol huming. A reporter of the Enquirer! met him thc other day at Leslie's, a! station which he is building up on the Three C's. The old gentleman had just finished settling his accounts with his croppers and having made a large crop was in a real good humor for tell ing how it was done. He said to tbc reporter : "You can put in tlie paper that I averaged more cotton to thc mule than any other man in York County." "How many bales, Mr. Barber ?" "Ten bales to the mule with twenty six mules-260 bales. Now let mc see you beat that il you can." "Was your crop as good this year as! usual, Mr. Barber." "No, no. 1 can't say that it was, hut hisr? is another point for you. 1 have just paid one negro who runs a two mule farm on my place $399.56. He makes that much clear after paying everything he owes mc-living and cv. efytluhg, ami nearly every one ol a dozen others have cleared over $1501 apiece. "Now people say there is nothing in farming, but I say there is. There is more in it than anything else-there's everything in il. That's my experience and I know what I'm talking about when I say it, my young Iriend. I mer?; chandiscd seventeen years, and made money. I have a one-third interest in the Fishing Creek factory, and its ma king as much money as any of them, let me tell you, but I get larger returns out of thc farm than anything else. You can make thc farm pay 50 and loo per cent, but you can't scpicczc any such profits out ol i.'c store or factory." "But how is it that so many people lad to make a Hying on the farm, Air. Barber ?" "They don't work, that's why. The I majority ot iarmers want three Sundays! I a,week, .and nobody .can get along by I woi'Kiog only half ?i'lhc Ihne. Suppose you would take three Sunday's a week in your business, how would you come out? You'd bust, wouldn't you? That's what you would do, and that's what anybody else who tries it will do. Now the larmer don't have to work any harder or longer titan anybody else. Ile don't have to work boin daylight till dark. Not a hit of it. 1 have a piece of land over next to the factory and have had a standing oller lor the past three or four years ot $2)0 a year to any young man who would work it by the factory bell, I just want him to put in ten hours a day, and at thc end of the year I'll give lum $250. That's fair, ain't it ? That's as much as the factory hands work ; hut it he'll work by the bell he'll be wcrth every cent of $250. "Then, there is another thing; Agood many people try to farm, and they don't know anything about it. Take the common notion about guano. Most people will put 150 pounds on an acre. They will lay off their rows about three lect apart, and il the wind is blowing I they will lake one of these horns, so as to keep the guano from getting out of thc furrow, and string it along the row in a fine white line. They are so care ful about wasting it that if the string happens to get broken for a foot or two they won't even go back to patch it up. Then they put in their cotton, which comes up and starts to growing very nicely, but if a little dry weather comes dong thc collen turns sickly and they say the guano burns it up. But it ain't the guano. It is thc poor land that burns it up. Now think about it. They put in that little streak of guano. The plant comes up and grows rapidly while it lasts, hut so soon as the fertilizer is exhausted, of course it dies down, be cause lhere is nothing left for it to feed on, so you see it is thc poor land that does it. Now, to prove what I say. Il a hundred and fifty pounds of guano scorches the cotton so it won't grow, two thousand pounds ought to set it afire oughtn't it ? But it won't. It's my expcrici.ee that the more fertilizer you use thc more cotton you make, and, in order to dem?nstrate the matter to the satisfaction ol' everybody, I am go ing to make a special experiment next spring, and put two thousand pounds of guano on one acre. And I'm not going to burn anything up cither. See if I do." "Do you rent your lands, pay wages or work on shares ?" "On shares altogether. It ?9 thc most satisfactory way ol all. I furnish every thing-the mules, tools and supplies. Tho cropper furnishes nothing but the labor. If I make he makes, and it I lose he loses ; so you see it is to his in terest to work, and thc harder the bet? ter. I give them hall of everything they make, and that encourages them to make all they can. Some people don'I give but two filths, but let me tell you 1 get as much out of the half as any ol them." Mr. Barber is president and secretary and treasurer of the Fishing Creek Manufacturing Company, has a large store at Leslie's and lives at Rtchnurg. He has recently connected these three points by a private telephone line and placed himself Within easy snaking distance of all them at once. ? Mr. Drake's Corn Crop. All tho newspapers are talking about tho Drake corn crop. They nro explaining "how it was done, and some of tho more onvious ones do not believe that tho same oxporimont could ho repeated with a like result. But the feet remains that it was a South Carolina farm er who gathered tho largest crop of corn that has over been grown on a single aero of land. What Mr. Drake accomplished in Marlboro county oan bo accom plished in every other county in the State. Our ?oil and climate aro adaptod to the cultivation pf every cereal grown in the temper ate zone. There nre dozens of fanners in Marlboro comity who have been making phenomenally largo crops ever since the war. Wherever tho intense systom of farming has been employed, tho invariable result has beon largo crops and full cribs. There is not a farm itt tho State that cannot bo made to yield double the avorage crop by proper fertilization and careful cultivation. Just as South: Carolina has pressed its way to tho front ns the most successful I nmn.ufae.turing Stato in the South, so it can bo m ado tho most pros perous agricultural Stato in the South. Our resources are practi cally inexhaustible ; our rango of development is illimitable. There is no placo like South Carolina. Ncns and Cowier -????-1 Law in thc Family. People ure always glad to . shift responsibility and Bhirk unpleasant duties. Tho growth of tho State inundation of the State-the huntly: Th:tho good o?d time when tho average Ameri can-conpidorod himself an all-round man, ablo to take care of himself and lick anything in sight, every family had a head. In those days tho hoad of tho family made him solf felt. Ho taught his youngsters1 morals and manners at tho fl regido, and kept his eyes wido open. Now it is different. Tho nominal hoad bf tho family looks to tho Stato to i keep his boys from carrying pistols, playing cardB, buying cigarette? and whiskey, and ho expects thom to get all their morals and deport-! mont from churches and public j schools. Tho now system is not working' well. Tho State, tho church and tho public school cannot entirely take tho place of tho old-fashioned daddy who held himself responsible for his children, taught thom what was right, and wore them out with a hickory when they went wrong. What is wantod is not so much outsido law, but moro law and or der in tho family. Men are mad o or marred at the lire side. No arti ficial dadtiy with a parcol of statu tues, formal fllub-anb and text books can tako tho place of the natural daddy with his love and common souse, and big hickory. When a man makes, the right kind of laws for his own family, and exe cutes them, he need not bothor himself ahoutStato laws and courts. Ilia boys will novor noed tho legis lature, a bench of judges, and a 8herilV'8 posso to keep thou: straight. -Atlanta Constitution. -* <?:'>*-. Killed hy tho Initiation.
