Jbtmpfm fSmmmU Soldier Killed In the gecand Battle of IfeaMiieMU. Eather af Felix Watkins and of the Late Jahn "C. Watkins HOME UFE IN DIXIE DURING CIVIL IR ELOQUENT LECTURE BY MISS? ISSIPPIAN AT TENT HEROES AT HOME; AU the Bravery Not At Front Shown by Numerous inci dents of Those Left Behind tent Inst night, while notdalolahlo'.cl The gathering at tile auditorium tent last night, while not one of ttie largest of the reunion, was among the hest repaid, th,* lecture of Dr. S. A. Steel on "Home L'fe in Dixie During the War." was a splendid presenta tion of conditions "hack home" daring thut eventful focr year! 'A the history j ' of the Southland. His lecture de picts the life of those who stayed at ! home, and While not in the limelight as were the soldiers at the front, he showed that many of the persons left at home deserved as great honors as did those fighting the battles df .their country. One who hears this g. eat lecture will go away with a different idea of the causes of th grat taoln.niwnshrlu the ca>:iseB of the great struggle which has been so vividly brought to mind in the coming, together of the survivors here during the past few days. The speaker called it the "War of the Great Misuuderstandlng," ond he contended that if the people of the South had understood the people of the North as well aa they did when the war was half over, or If the people of the North had known more, of thc people, of the South would never have beeb' any war. One of the main caus es of the war was Ignoranec of the strength of the opposing .forces. The opinion prevailed down South that thc. war would last only sixty days, and many young men enlisted in the South ern armies as If they were going on a jaunt, many of them carrying dress suits to wear at the victorious ball to be given at Richmond, The North was equally Ignorant of the strength of the South as President Lincoln show ed when he called for only 75.000 troop "to quell the rebeUlon.". Anoth er great cause of the - war was the presence of the profervld orators who stirred up their audiences and appeal ed to their prejudices, asserting that "one Southerner could lick a dozen yankees with a cornstalk." . Or. Steel was a farmer boy down in Mississippi, and while he driven home ?orne great truths Of the war. his lecture is mainly of his personal ex periences during the war. His homo was near to some of the great Laities dud In the midst of stirring scenes, whicH left aa indelibel impression on his young mind. Some of Ms earliest recollections of the war centered around a visit ot thc Methodist circ uit rid??r tr. hfe father** kenv, and ?fccir coui'.tiueut argument over, tha au prodeMrJg iiohfllct! His ' f?t?cY con lenoed that, the North was stronger than the South and had illimitable ro 4our'.es,.fcom.which to dru \v,. while T'?e minister , took the, positi.M that ibo North would hot fight, and tlu-t Ute "war" would be over fn sixty days. A coupl?t of doggerel vr.tch ho quoted showed the prevailing Idea: "The cornstalk liddle and the rusty gun, Wii make the plauged yankees run!" I The picture drawn by the speaker showing the terror and the anxiety of the people when the distant noise of tattle could be heard, was quite vivid, ano convinced his auditors that ?ll tb? heroism was not need at th j front. Back of this was the ever present dread that when the union armies ap-' proacbed the negroes' would * r'a-j and murder the whites'.'' '"Be lt ?aid to their credit," said the speaker, "there was no need for thia fear, for no more loyal,body of people ever lived than thc Southern, slave during the' war." In conclusion. Dr. Steel drew a beau tiful picture of thc South. He said there was small wonder that the North .fought ?o hard to keep the South from seceding for when God created the world hs made the best part down in Dixie.

T?t iNHEB?fA*** Am l?cente ef WM* a T**r Ia Set te Be 8ae?*ae A^ (By Associated Presa.) London, Msy 28.-The snit brought by Lieutenant Charles Reynolds Slingsby, of San Francisco, claiming for his child tba succession ts to part of the Yorkshire, estate ot his father will begin early In Jone. Every stalk of tullun grown In South Carolina last year could and would have (aken cu more bolls than lt did ir lt had been prop erly side-dressed. You will not see the long skips between bolls in side-dressed cotton thal you see in other cotton, and you will seo more bolls to the stalk. Every stalk of cotton grown lu South Carolina last year would Lave "shed" less If lt had bron properly side-dressed. The rcaeou cotton sheds is that it is deficient lu plant food. The only way to supply thia plant food is to side dress your cotton. You can't pump it into it. A young, tender, growing child should bc fed frequently to make it grow rapidly and develop and come Into its own, and it 1B the came way with young, tender growing plants, they should be fed (side-uressed) frequently. You don't expect to feed your mule enough In April to lasi until October and the plant food you supply your crop with in April will not lact until October either. When the plant exhausts your colton sheds. Your crop IB "cut." You can only muke one coll?n crop a year, that ls your money crop. You want to make ?ll the cotton you can. You want to make all the money you eau. Kor every dollar you pay out for fertiliser for side dressing you get back from three to five dollars. This man Rodgers in Florence county who fertilised every time he eultlvated his cop, made 880 pounds of lim cotton lo the acre, lint cotton not seed cotton-lint cotton. By side dressing curly your cotton grows off carly and gets its maturity early and openu early, for when cotton gets its growth and maturity and ripens it is going lo open. Your early cotton weighs better than bite cotton. It takes about 120 bolls of cotton picked in September and October to muke a pound. It takes from 300 tq 400 bolls that are picked in thc last half of November and later to mako a pound. When the boll weevil striken a country tho ear cotton is all the farmer gets. The boll wecvli gota thc balance. You don't know when tho Boil Weevil will strike ycu, or 1 don't Experienced pinners aay that 1,300 pounds of side dressed cot ton will make as heavy a bale as 1,600 pounds that bas not been side dressed. The lint is bettor developed and there is moro ot UV Suppose sidedresBlng makes two extra bolls to tho stalk. Thc right kind properly applied'will add moro than that and make every boll heavier, lt will add three and four to the stalk. You will havo at least 12,000 st. 1KB to the acre, taking two extra bolls to tho stalk and 120 bolls to make a pound you havo 200 extra pounds of cotton from the extra bolls to say nothing of all thc bolla being larger and heavier. ( Side dressed cotton stands drought better than other cotton. It ta bdttcr fed and in better condition to stand anything better. Side dressing makes more bolls, makes heavier boils, makes moro lint to the boll, makes cotton shed less, makes a better sample, that means a better price, causes your cotton to stand drought better. If side dressing does not pay, it docs not pay tu farm. The side dress ing specially prepared by the Anderson Phosphate and OH Com pany boys, ls the goods you need. Anderson Phosphate Sf, Oil Co. J.
