Corcoran died in Wash- 1 ington city on Friday, 24th Inst. j The dispatch announcing* the sad 11 intelligence states that he passed away \ ' quietly and unconsciously, and the ! <j -e t <1 101'CCS Oi liitf iitUCU uriiuuaiii j until his heart which bad always j [ throbbed in sympathy for his fellow j: man ceased its labors forever. { c Mr. Corcoran was a great man, not j ( great in having directed and con- s r trolled his fei'.owmen, but great in , ? ? I having- accomplished what is a far ? more difficult task?he controlled his j t own selfish nature. Mr. Corcoran ' counted his possessions by the millions, and was vet strong enough to * . * ,.... . t appreciate the responsibiuties oi - wealth. He was wise enough to pur- c chase with his gold the only thing 1 which lie could that would bring true L happiness, namely, the happiness of 1 others. Mr. Corcoran's charities ^mounted to millions, and were largely respon- ' sive to the sufferings in the impover- ^ ished Southern States just after the close of the war. Few men have lived whose lives have contributed as much to the comfort and happiness of j others as the one just passed away. ~ ?? -?

I The plan of offering a prize for the = largest yield of some field crop has c been frequently adopted by associa- j 1 Tions for the purpose of encouraging j 1 the cultivation and increasing the pro- j duction of any particular agricultural jv product, and it has accomplished much J 1 in max. curecnon. These contests have shown that the i 1 ordinary yield may be greatly in- j( creased by intensive methods, but this i ^ has too often resulted in the almost 1 f total absorption of the gross receipts from the sale of the crop, and ibe ; j profit account of the farmer is not added to in the least. Of coarse this 1 has not been the case in every instance, * but we apprehend that it has in ll.e ' mniorifv nf (*9S?iS. TlIK Xe\TS AXD J Herali> proposes the organization of 1 a club composed of the farmers of * Fairfield for the purpose of awarding 1 a prize to the member who makes the ! most profitable yield from any crop planted. J Our plan is to divide the c!ub into ' classes, that is to say, a cotton class, 1 a corn class, a sorghum class, a*id so ' on, creating a class for each farm * product. A small class fee, say fifty ' cents or a-dollar, to be decided by the 1 club, will be charged, and each fee ' will be credited to the class joined bv 1 til2 party paying it. Should a meui ( ber of the club wish to enter several 1 classes he will be required to pay a 1 fee fur each-class he joins. These ( fees must be paid in when the member : joins and wiil remain in the hands of the treasurer of the club until the con- 1 test in any class is decided, when the ( aggregate amount to the credit of that class will be awarded a? a prize to the successful contestant. Ten days before the day fixed by the class for deciding the contest each contestant will be required to file with the secretary of the club a certified statement show ing the area planted, the variety oi seed used, the preparation and nature of the soil, the method of cultivating fhe growing crop and of harvesting it, the amount of manure or fertilizer - used, the number of days worked by both man and beast, and the exact yield. A statement made by a correspondent a short time since in the columns of The News and Herald that cotton was actually made last year at a cost of three and a third cents a pound encutu cnuuxsuis mm reiuiu&s \> IIICU ^ proved that very few persons have taken the trouble to ascertain exactly what is the cost of raising co'.ton. It will benefit the farmers a great deal more to know how Mr. A. made cotton at three cents a pound than to know that Mr. C. made three bales on one acre regardless of cost. t "We ask the farmers of Fairfield to j iAruciucj. w uiuii (j is merely an outline, and if in their I judgment it is in the direction of help- < ing their profession, we will gladly place at their disposal any assistance s we may be able to contribute to that t i end. li Let us hear from you. 11 " 'Ir' ' fc SI on. J. Ilenfirix XcJLane. The old saying that a prophet is not * "without honor save in his own conn- n * t trv is slrikinglv true of the Hon. J. ^ Hendrix McLane, late of this State? 0 that is if Mr. McLsne is a prophet. n Prophet or not, Mr. McLane, as a t; man, is not without honor save in his a own State, which is a bad showing 0 for those places where he has. Mr. McLane is up in Boston getting on a c little "cnlchur," and every now and ^ again he pours out the mighty vials of ^ jhis wrath through the public press. v He said to a Boston Ilerald man the other day: f jjj. The Bourbon element dominates in a public affairs, and holds power by h fraud, ballot-box stuffing and vio- n * lence. These unlawful practices are v. carried on 10 such an extent as to make, them alarming in the extreme to all klaw-abiding people. Indeed, were the si ?-- w-r*-. ? . ill story told here, it would seem mply incredible to the people of Xenv Indiana. Hence it would not be well > attempt to depict the worst feaitnes i Bourbonism in South Carolina. I m only telling half the truth when I tUn* r?rj>f.Mcp5 to which T have eferred arc demoralizing beyond the | owcr of your most credulous and j est informed people to believe-or omprehend. Under this minority ule everything is done by the Bouron leaders to suppress* the voice and >'511 of the honest majorities. The hole press of the Slate is, moreover, mployed to cover up their wrong oing, and this is accomplished by the ublication of dishonest and untruthul statements regarding the vote and he character of elections. Thus the ndependent movement in South Caro- j ina has risen by moral nccessitj'. Our! former "military Governor" >aght to write a book. lie has qauliications of imagination which would riake Munchausen green wiih envy. >ut his great qualifications as a writer <f fiction arc better shown in the folowing: The election machinery i? entirely n the hands of men selected with are, and appointed for the purpose of ounting in the Bourbon tickets, regardless of the majorities that may be gainst them. But what is worse still s the fact that this same ballot-box luffing and fraudulent return system s practiced by tlicrn in their social i >rganization$ and church elections, j Consequently many of the best people :re going out of the churches, and nanv who were ready to aid in these nonstrous wrongs only a little while .go, are "now ? becoming aroused io heir bad effects, and declare they wi!J? tare nothing more to do with them. "Gov." ZvIcLane forgot to loll the Ierald that in lS76-hewas the greatest jourbon of them ail; how he advo:ated the carrying of elections before he polls opened; how he advocated ----- ~ ' * ** ' r he wholesale Killing oi "niggers--. n j iccessary to carry, the election?j chemcs which 0? course met with >rompt rejection. The "Governor* leases ns very well as a liar, but ins *erv bail memory can't be commended. ' Vliat is Sfcik'a in i'airlieid. It is the policy of Tiie: News an*d Ierald to advocate any eflort which t is believed will result in good to our Jiatc generally, but we are for Fairield "first, Ia>t and ail the time." :Ier hone is our hope, her life is our ifo. and her welfare is our welfare. iVben ill-:- county prospers we prosjar, and when she languishes we lanji>ish. \Vc want oar readers and the jifiz^ns of tlio county t^> know that ,ve are ambitious 'o become an impor,ant factor in her development.

We would be giad to hear that when a Fairfield man met1 a stranger that he told him of the advantages to be gained by living in Fairfield aud mo; of the disadvantages inder which we labor.

ARTICLE ONE. | Messrs. Editors: .1 will commence and give the result as to the yield of the different named seed planted, after giving the most of them a careful trial on my plantation. I *vas planting the common seed in use up lo 1851 or 1852, when my friend, MajorNathan I Cook, grandfather of our esteemed j fellow-citizen, Mr. Nathan Robertson, who was planting cotton of a seed sent him by his son, Mr. John Cook, living in Alabama, with which he was well pleased as to the growth of stalk and yield of fruit, but did not know the name of the cotton, gave me a few bushels to plant on trial. I was so much pleased with it that I named it the Cook cotton. It grew to a good size, limbed closely drotn main stalk, of good leng-l-, fruited well, and the seed being mihuI, would gin from 35 io 56 pounds of line from 100 pounds nf swr! mtJfsn. if uieknd when the uvu'.her was dry, unci not very soon after opening. The bunch cutton about that time be^'un to attract attention* a 3d being so highly lauded for it*j^eat'yield, r" -was induced to givii.it a trial wltfr the" Gook-cottou, with the following re-, cult: I procured of my brother, who was planting it, seed enough to plant a ten-acre iicltl in the rear of my dwelling, on which I had put u!l the stable and lot manure annualiy made irom 18-18, and it was rich enough to ? ? - i j n i - i* , produce a large vieiu or any kiuu oi a crop planted. It was a good, seasonable year, ar.d I thought, with others, it was the best boiled cotto:> that we had ever seen grow, and that it would make more per acre. Dr. Charles Montgomery (a particular friend in our youthful days), a prominent physician and practical farmer, living in or near Starkville, Miss., being on a vi-it. to relatives iiving in this vicinity, eailfcd to see me about the 20th of August, 1851 and while with me I requested.liim to go anil see my line cotton, and on doing so, he remarked, ' I have seen on some of the rich bottom lands in Mississippi and Louisiana cotton that made more per acre than this will, from its size, but this is the best boiled I have ever seen for the size of stall;."' I recollect of counting eighteen white blooms one forenoon on a stalk about the 10:h or loth of August. Last rear, near by where (his stalk grew, I counted one morning, about the middle of August, twenty-one. white blooms 0:1 a Peterkiu stalk, and they did not look so numerous as they did" on the bunch?so clo?e together on short limbs. ' The above shows that if you have growth of stalk, with plenty of shapes, it doirt take long for a crop to be i made, and I will here state what is | not generally known by our young- ] farmers?that shapes do not shed off ; very much before blooming, but it is 1 when the blooms tarn yellow and the bolls are in their incipient state that they are cast off with tbe bloom or soon after. I had it carefully picked , and an accurate account of yield kept, which was a few pounds over 14,000 1 from the field or 1,400 pounds per acre. In 1855 I planted the field with ( the Cook cotton in order to test its yield with the bunch, except one acre, , which was planted with the Calhoun, ' a new kind coming into use, hisrhlv < ex to Ic-d for its good yield. I had the k cotton well thinned in the drill, cultivated in the usual way, and topped about the 10th of August. About the ( 20th of July I noticed the Cook cotton ? would exceed the bunch in growth of stalk, and as the limbs grew longer and the boils farther apart, it did not look to be as heavily bolied as the bunch, which made it appear that it would fall below in yield of crop. I gave special attention to the picking, weighing a:ui the keeping of an accurate account of yield, and to my surprise it made about 18,000 pounds, the Calhoun acrc included, which was 400 pounds per acre more than the bunch. This test induced me ro plant I mv niluj-e crons with it, up to the i termination .of the war, when Siier- "< man's army burnt my giuhouse and ali the cotton seed I had. Mr. James Giadncy, now of Louisiana, procured rr?c seed of Mr. McClure, of Chester county, to plant iu 18GG, and afterwards I bought Peeler seed sufficient to test it as to yield, which I found to grow too large, with limbs very length? and bolis too far opart. I decided t-j mix tue seed with McClure's, and plant 'o make a hybrid, which I have continued to-plant for the general crop, ana ;u limes icsaxii^, uiucr varieties, until the Pet or kin was brought to my notice. I have tried the "bunch, Dickson's ( and Dickson's clustcr, of Oxford, Ga., j and after a fair test of them all with my hybrid, which grows a stalk and | fruits similar to the Cook, X have j planted no other until lt>85, whGu I procured a few bushels of the Peter- t IT .Mi 1 A. ? UO wv UiUVU Vkl ^ that I planted iast year over three- h fourths of iny crop with ir3 and will k n a subsequent article give my rea;ons more fully why I prefer the 5etevkin or my hybrid to the bunch, :Jnster or any otner variety. J. M. G. YVallaceville, S. 0., Feb. 23, 1888. AFJPLYIXG FERTILIZERS. Messrs. Editors: I am inclined to hiuk that our system of applying maiure, and especially commercial lertiizers, to cotton, is a wrong one. My >pinio? is entirely theoretical, and it is br tue purpose of evoking discussion >n this subject whereby some facts nay perchapce be brought to light that [ call tue attention of farmers to it. j The rule of applying fertilizers is, as j we aU know, to concentrate mem uy means of a tin horn in'a narrow line ibout three or four inches beneath the urface of the ground, there to remain undisturbed in position. Now, let us follow up the growth of 1 cotton plaut thus fertilized: Its first roots are in direct contact .with the manure, and develop rapidly, causing a. corresponding growth above. There is no deficiency of moisture at thK, season, and consequently 'we soon have a fine stalk of cotton. But, I think, its fine appearance will be due, in a large measure, to a crowded mass of roots haggingour little line of manure and not uniformly ramifying in every direction as they naturally would. Now, cut off the supply of moisture, say, by a two or tbre^weej^ drought, in July or August, and what is the result.? T)ur extra plant growth will make a demand on its producer, that crowded mass of roots hugging the little line, for an extra quantity of water, but as the supply of that article is limited in their locality, there will be a failure to respond to the demand. Thpn what we so often see? "shedding"?or death from inanition. The question to be tested is this: Is it more profitable in the long run to concentrate fertilizers as we do, and thus secure a rapid and early growth at a small expense, running "the risk of a serious injury by drought, or to fertilize broadcast, using a larger quantity of the material, and obtaining a uniform and more protracted development. To test the, matter, I propose this year an experiment which I hope some of my fellow-farmers will make: Manure three rows as usual; for the next three put in the fertilizer twice the u'-ual depth and run a 3mall plow through it, thus mixing slightly with the soil; for the next three apply froifP as mnr.h cnano before bedding up.
