Editor Daily Times: Corn planting time is near and I promised to give your readers some directions as to Mr. Williamson's methods of raising corn as a money crop as well as for home consumption. First. Prepare soil by bedding out the land deep with one or two-horse plough, split the middle with shovel plough deep, and then throw back two furrows with point of Dixie if you are going to use corn planter. If going to plant by hand throw back wiih wing hf Dixie and offen and drop corn in and cover. ? f Second. Distance to plant. You should suit this to your land and amount of guano you expect to use, say 10 to IS inches in 6-foot rows. Third. Fertilizing, 300 pounds cotton .seed mcai: 200 pounds kainit or 100 pounds acid, and 100 pounds nitrate of soda, where you expect to make 50 bushels of corn per acre. Fourth. How to cultivate and when and how to put down guano and plant. Plant about last of March and let the corn stay there until it turns yellow and then go around it with point of Dixie with bar side to corn; leave alone until it gets, say 10 inches high and looking sick, then take sa.me plough and turn wing -~side to corn, using only the point again; this will put you well up in May, and month of June, when the corn will stand dirt from wing of Dixie. Put your guano in side furrows on each side of corn, and plough , out middle at once, deep, and leave alone until corn is little above knee high, and then put down. your nitrate of soda by the corn and ? j - broadcast in peas, say, half bushel per acre, and plough out with Dixie or sweep any other plough you use. Plough- shallow this time, and let the season do the rest, and you will make corn and not stalks, and at the same time leave your land in $10 to $15 per acre better than when you started. . ; I trust our planters will take some j of their cotton land and plant in this way, and raise more hog and hominy at home, and while I am on this sub? ject, Mr. Editor, I made a statement that I had about $550 and had used less than 100 bushels of corn instead of 1,000 as your paper showed it Now let us plant anything but a big cotton crop. Plant peanuts, chufas, potatoes, tobacco and all the peas that you can harvest and stock for hay and let's stop this shipment of hay and grain into our bounds when half the price is paid in freight. We grow poor, the railroads grow rich. We can raise as good crops here as any other State, and better mules and horses than any of them. Read, ponder and act, and the victory is ours for 12 1-2 or 15 cents cotton. It will be as we say and not as Wall street or any other set of men outside of the cotton fiields may say. We will be master of the situation and not slaves. Yours truly, R. C. Commander. STANDARD OIL VICTORY. Southern Pacific Beats Gould Inter? ests in Southwest. New Orleans, March 21.-The vic? tory of the Southern Pacific over the Gould interests in California and the estoppal of the latter by the United States courts from gaining terminal facilities at Oakland across the bay from San Francisco has more than ever fortified the Harriman line in its plans for extensive improvements over its entire transcontinental sys? tems-the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific. In Lousiana and Texas the company is expending hundreds of i thousands of dollars in branch lines and other physical betterments, the chief of all being the "block system'1 j work, much of which has already been installed. It is through this block signal sys? tem that the danger of collisions is re? duced practically to zero to the conse? quent saving of human life and valua? ble property. Motor trains are now operating on some of the branch lines permitting the freedom of engines otherwise tied up and much saving in the cost of fuel, though the great oil fields of Louisiana and Texas, situated directly on the line of the Southern Pacific, now permit a minimum of fuel cost, beside eliminating the old time nuisances of smoke, dust and cinders which passengers had reason to com? plain of from the use of soft coal. Always Keeps Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in His House. *"We would not be without Cham? berlain's Cough Remedy.' It is kept on hand continually in our home." says W. W. Kearney, editor of the In? dependent, Lowry City, Mo. That is just what every family .should do. When kept at hand ready for instant use, a cold may be checked at the out? set and cured fn much less time than after it has become settled in the sys? tem. This remedy is also without a peer for croup in children, and will prevent the attack when given as soon a.s the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, which can only be done when the remedy is kept at hand.

Columbia, March 20.-The conven? tion called in the interest of securing a more effective school law on the sub? ject of physiology and hygiene in the public schools of the State mee in the Supreme court room at the capitol building yesterday afternoon at 3:30 p. m. Rev. Walter I. Herbert, pastor of Main street Methodist church, Colum? bia, one of the signers for the call of the convention, called the meeting to order and Rev. Dr. Lindsay, pastor of the First Baptist church of Columbia, offered prayer. Twenty-four counties had responded in selecting delegates to attend the convention, the most of whom were represented by one or more delegates. Dr. O. E. Taylor of Boston, Mass., who has been lecturing over the State on temperance physiol? ogy, was present and was requested to suggest an outline of procedure, which he did, and the convention a once or? ganized with Senator G. H. Bates of Barnwell as temporary chairman and Rev. C. E. Burts of Edgefield as tem? porary secretary. Senator Bates was afterwards made permanent chairman and Rev. W. E. Wilkins of Columbia was chosen per? manent secretary. The following committees were then appointed: A committee on legislation ! to secure if possible the reenactment of the original law passed on this sub? ject in 1895, with such changes as will make it more specific and effective. The members are Hon. Joseph A. Mc? Cullough, Greenville; Senator G. H. Bates, Barnwell; Senator J. S. Brice, Yorkville, with two others to be se? lected by those named above. A committee on petition, consist? ing of Rev. L. J. Bristow, Greenwood; Dr. A. R. Mitchell. Greenville; Rev. Moffatt, Chester; Rev. W. D. Dun? can, Greenwood; Rev. W. H. Greever, Columbia; together with the full com? mittees from each county, and a com? mittee on text books, consisting of Rev. Walter L Herbert, Columbia; President E. M. Poteat, Furman Uni? versity; Prof. W. H. Hand, Chester; Professor P. G. Bowman, Sumter; Prof. F. M. Sheridan, Greenwood; Mrs. L. B. Haynes, State president W. C. T. U., and Mrs. E. S. Herbert, State president C. T. W. The chairman, sec? retary and members of these commit? tees will constitute a permanent cen? tral committee to carry out the pur? poses of the convention. The following resolution was pass? ed: "Resolved, That the county commit? tees already selected and others here? after to be selected be requested to co opera vith the central committee in execu..ng the plans of the conven? tion." THAT "HYGIENE" CONFERENCE. _ What the Prohibitionists Called Their Confab-A Secret Meeting at Night. There was an important political gathering of prohibitionists here yes? terday afternoon and night, and a significant conference of old stagers of the water wagon brigade last night at the Jerome Hotel. But the action of the conference was not given out. In fact the gathering was carefully guard? ed from the public, and no intimation as to what was done was allowed to leak out. The prohibition lesaders, in? cluded C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens, nvho tried to be governor; J. W. Ha? mel, member of the house of repre? sentatives from Kershaw; Louis J. Bristow, editor of the Baptist Press at Greenwood, and advocate of the gubernatorial candidacy of Joseph A. McCullough, of Greenville, who also wants to be Federal judge. The crowd first had a* "cute" little meeting in the supreme court room in the afternoon "on the subject of in? struction in physiology and hygiene in which a number of unsuspecting tem? perance people took part with great enthusiasm, along with the prohibi? tion politicians. In this way a thorough organization was effected, made up of a patchwork Of office-seekers. Methodist and Bap? tist clergymen, and W. C. T. U. work? ers. A central committee was pro? vided for and arrangements were made for county organizations. Among those conspicuously absent from both the "hygic.ie" meeting and the conference at the hotel were A. C. Jones, Newberry; ex-Senator Mc Laurin, J. P. Gibson, of Marlboro; Joel E. Brunson. the Rev. Vernon I'Anson. T. J. LaMotte and others. Columbia Record. G. li. Burhans Testifies After 4 .Years. *G. B. Durnans, of Carlisle Center, X. Y., writes: "About four years ago I wrote you stating thaat I had been en? tirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of Fo? ley's Kidney Curo. It entirely stop? ped the brick dust sediment, and pain and symptoms <?f kidney disease disap? peared. T am glad to s;;y that I have never had a return of any of those symptoms druirg the four years that have elapsed and I ara evidently cured to stay cured, and heartily recommend Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suf? fering from kidney or bladder trou? ble."

Columbia, March 22.-The pension I board which is in session today finds a greatly reduced pension list Ly com? parison with last year's list, although the appropriation this year .s $225. 000, as against $200,000 last year. The reduction,, which amounts to about ten per cent, is accounted for on the score of an increasing number of deaths among the veterans. Up to this time the list has stead.ly increas? ed, the new applications far out-num? bering the deaths, or removals to oth? er states. The list is over S,000.

Betts, well-known farmer, living two miles north east of Sumter, says: "I believe Doan's Kidney Pills which I procured at Dr. A. J. China's drug store are a good kidney remedy. For a number of years I had a hard time with my back and every cold I caught settled in my back and the pain felt just like rheumatism and would just lay me up. I could not sit for any length of time in one position or attempt to turn over in bed with? out the sharp pain striking: me and making me yell right out and I had to take hold of some? thing to support me when I got out of bed. The kidney secretions were irregular, un? natural and at night too frequent in action. I used lots of remedies and took doctor's medieine but was just the same after I used them as before. I was told about Doan's Kid? ney Pills curing other people so I went and got them. They helped me immediately and since then the pain has left me, my back is strong and the Kidney secretions do not both? er me. My health "is greatly improved in every way and I give Doan's Kidney Pills the credit" For sale by all dealers. Price. 50 cents. Foster-Milbiirn Co.. Buffalo, N.
