Guaran. teed by McMaster Co. Gen. Hampton was very fond of children, and never faikk tc win their c nfidence and respect Lesli e eekly not long ago re lated an anecdote that wilb enjoyed especially by those whc knew his familiarity with the lit tie ones: It will be r embered that. foi some~ time af the birth of litl Ruth Clevelanli, when her father was President, it was rumored that she was a deaf mute. Noth ing could have been more unijust or unkind. The rumor grew oul of the displeasure of those whc resented the withdrawal of the child from the White House grounds, where she was annoyed y sightseers. : en. Wade Hampton is fond oi rllng an incident which entirely re is the charge. One dayhbe h S'een to see the President. -~ 1 kaving the room lie was waining irsthe ball for the eleva tir reserved for the President's own use. In a few minutes little Ruth and her nurse came along. He went up -and spoke to her. She was hardly two years old then-a mere baby. "I talked to her," said Gen. Hampton, "until the elevator came ini sight. Then she raised her little hand, pointing little fin ger, and said, 'Go, now!' After ward I laughed and told the PresidenG she had evidently caught the words f,rom him when he was tired of some persistenl office-seeker." Like a Drowning Man..

The Clemson Authcrities Trying Stay its Progress by the Aid of Farmers of the State. - The authorities of Clem, Cpllege are making a vigor effort to assist the farmers of -Ste in the extermination of t: dreacaed disease, Texas Fei To this end they are sending a circular, telling of the fatalii eaused by the disease, and a a series of questions, which ti wish answered.

In 1890 there we re in Sol Carolina 122,959 milch cc valued at $19.25 each, or a tc of 62,366,961; 137,264 other c tie valued at $10.77 each, o total of $1,478,267, making a t valuation 'for all cattle in S3t ate of $3,845,228. From statistics on file in office of the veterinarian of South Carolina Experiment S tion it seems that the ann gath rate of er.ttle in this St from Texs fever is 2.65) eeni, $101,898. For 1898 the loss was el mated at only $91,000, but doubt it has constantly increa: since 1898 and will possibly -exceed the $101,000 mark t year unless some vigorous me ures are adopted by the btt owuers to stay its ravages, pecnily in feeding pemis. Then it is safe to say tl Texas fever is by far the mn imnortant disease of amimals w w ichel the stockmnen of Sol Car oliina will have to deal: only this ptar but for many co'me. lMore than a year ago I s out a circular letter on Te: fever, giving its causes, -sym toazs, and called especial att tion to the fact that it is cau by ticks getting on cattle t have not carried them bef< Ticks will not hurt a cow tha usedI to them.

In attempting to kill the ticks, the deal with those on tbe cattle, and the those in the pasture will meet ta- their fate as they get on the nal stock or die after a few -weeks at exposure to the 'sun. I have per tried a number of methods for . killing ticks and now hea.rtily -recommend the following: ' no Build a siatted chute just large ;ed enug to hold a cow and so ar far rang it that they can be driven his into it and shut up. one at a time. as Get a spray pump, such as thre 'k Perfect Success ($5.60) and a e- supply of the cheaper coal ,ta disinfectants, such as Chl4o. rat naptholeumn or Zenoleuma (/ ost al. 81.50 or five gal.

" Our congressman, Mr. Joe 1 Johnson, upon request sent me some sugar beet and other seed, 1 and- I have planted some of them and .they have cbme up. It is 3 just fir experiment. I want to get also from hier or someone else some of the Soy beans, said to be superior to all other beans, t and , too, as a forage crop. I te disposed of all the un exced cotton seed of the Geo. W. Truitt variety. Capt. Thos. Lylesof Louisiana tells me be plaute these seed. He, Capt.

The peopTe are going right ahead planting cotton and I tMnk the most of them will finish in a week or ten days. It has been for a good long while now a most favorable d;y time for all kinds of work for the farmers. -Didn't the Bishop at Savannah go Ior our President!

How can' South Carolina be nonile"tio be deprived of one of the greatest heroes and patriots of his time,,Gen. Wdde Hampton? I have never seen the crows worse; I had to plant some ground over. I see some good stands of corn.that was let alone by the crows. The stands of cotton are increasing every day and will be good 'ere long, I think. I thin the United States are engaged in an unholy war against the Filipinos, our aliies, in wrest ing the islands from Spain. The United States have not acted fair and equal with them as she or they did with Cuba. The Fili pinos were fighting for their libe ty, and will fight on for it. It weuld be easy for the UL'ited States to' have peace if they would assure them of their inde pendence and protection in it as they did for Cuba. I tiink the majority of the states of our Confederacy have good homes for their veterans. South Carolina did a right good thing when she increased her pension money to her surviving soldiers. ~Why cin't South Caro lina do as other powers are doing, pension all her remaining vete rans? South Carolina is able enough, but she prefers the lead, profits and the evils of the liquor trfie. Mind you, S:)nth Carolina's standing has been kept up by her martyrs and1 survivors of the cause for which they fought for. I don't call it a lost sause, for it was one of rigbY and justice. We are having p!enty of vege tables such as lettace, spinach, shelots, mustard, &c. The po tato bugs are right bad. Col. edding's and Bill Arp's plan which is to kill all the big bugs that lay the eggs and kill the egg, is the best plan. I saw our daughter have a good1 many of the bugs i1i a bucket of paris green wvater, and the bugs didn't seem to mind it, but she sprayed the, vines, and says this~ miorniug the it did good. She put some of the liquid ou some beans that the -lady bugs were destroying and says it kifledi thomn dead.

Country Gentlenan. he highest price for cattle in 2 years at Kansas City was, reached last week when 18 one and two-year polled Angus steers, averaging 1329 lbs., broughi $7.15 per 100 lbs. They were fed by C. H. Butler, of Frankfort, Kan sas, for five months, gaining 460 l'6. per head. A combination sale of 150 Herefords, from 25 herds in Mis souri and Kansas, took place at Kansas City last week, averaging $162. Top price was $500 for a young bull; a heifer brought $400. Most of the cattle were young, a m-ijority bulls. e Nine carloads of Hereford bulls were shippel last week from Kansas City to Oregon, where they will be sold at public auc tion. This is a new move on the part of Hereford breeders. Who-re blooded ca,ttle are raised, it is always more difficult to sell bulls than cows, but in new sections the bulls sell readily, to be used on native stock. There are said to be on the rauches of Texas 100,000 cattle fattening for CiTban markets. Since the Spanish war Texas has sent many thousand animals to Cuba. Prices are good, aud much money is being made by thg ven ture. Don't Start Wrong. Don't start the summer wits a$n gering cough or cold.
