FOUR BALKS TO THE ACRE. We have read with a great deal of interest in the Yorkville Enquirer how Mr. E. D. Thompson, of Point, S. C.t has made four bales of cotton to the acre. His cxpericncc is at least instructive to farmers in general in as much a3 the yield, as far as we know is ahead of any record made in the State. In 1895, he fertilized this aere with 50 ponnds of solnble guano and planted it in corn, and he made between 4? and 50 bushels. In 1896, he pot 16 two-horse loads of lot scrapings, scaJtered broadcast, and 1,000 pounds of % ..r?i sol able guano, unanouw aciu ?uu German kainet placed in drill. He then planted in King cotton, and made on the acre 846 pounds. The present year, the middle of March, Mr. Thompson pat on this land, a heap of compost, the component parts of which are fully stated io his very accounts reprod-iced from the Enquirer. One of the interesting points in Mr. Thompsou's account of how he made so much on one acre, is that he selected coorJ rvf fho h#>at ftf vtAlfcs. AS he IUV DVWU V* vuw V? I ? says the seed should properly; be called "Farther Improved." Any larmercan do this. It lequires considerable trouble, bat nothing is gained without .trouble. Another in- j teresting point in .this very interesting : experience is the value Mr. Thompson I attributes to "the deep furrow at the last working." We confess that we are somewhat at a los s to understand this, or Mr. Thompson's meaning. W? have always been told by cotton planters that the surface roots of cotton plants produce the roots, and that "at the last working" it is dangerous to., throw dirt around the plant, because it then causes it to make new roots at the ^expense of the fruit. It Vif\TTTOTTQr> flint tea miRftnnre uw, UW.TV.V*, rc-hend Mr. Thompson, and his "deep farrow at the last working" does not throw dirt around the plant. At all events, Mr. Thompson's experience .is very instructive, and we invite ourj farmers attention to it. DEMOCRATS MUST GO, OF COURSE. . The Commissioner of Pensions holds that every pension examining surgeon , . in the United States, irrespective of :v? the amount of fees he receives, is beyond" the pale of the civil service law : owl mav hA rpmnvpr5 afc. the Dleasare . _ of the Commissioner, v. - His position in the premises is based npon^adicial decisions. Ihe Solicitor of the Treasury decided recently that such sargeons are not officers.of the United States, and are not, therefore, entitled to offices in public buildings; and twelve years ago, in a case ap pealed from the circuit court of the district of Maine, the late Justice . Miller, of tbe United States Supreme Court, decided that these surgeons were not Government officials; that they were simply agents, to be hired 4 " - and discharged at will by the Commissioner of Pensions; and the Com-? missioner holds that if lhese doctors are not Government officials they can not possioiy De enuwea Dy iaw ur ruling to the benefits of the civil service law as extended in ex-President Cleveland's omnibus order. In view of this state of the case, the Commissioner says that he cannot go back on a Supreme Court decision and * wi.. not hesitate in removing the Democrats on all pension boards at once, appointing Bepublicans. in their places. There are about 200 boards of three members each in the larger cities. These removals will, therefore, enable tbe Commissioner to appoint about 600 Republican doctors. Of course, tbe Democrats must be removed. They might reject too many applicants. An excuse must be found, of some kind; and as it does not suit to invoke the civil service rules, they must be disregarded to suit the occasion. We confess that we deeply sympathize with Governor Ellerbe. He has . " been very severely criticised in the Newbold matter, and in many in v v _ stances we think that the critics have gone too far. We have never believed that the Governor hasjtold dispensary constables that he wonld pardon them when convicted of crime or that he has harbored Newbold, as suggested by many. We think, however, that f-Ka riAtravnAt* *a rirrVif ?n motmor tho UVIWUW1 JO denial, but it is premature for him to ' declare his platform for re-election. He still sticks to [the dispensary with some modifications. He h^d better wait for developments. The system is dying a snre death, and even Governor Ellerbe can not eave it. He may, with the aid of the General Assembly, prolong its life, but its ultimate death I is sure and eertain. It is idle to talk about the dispensary without the profit feature. The people are now complaining of the ever increasing v taxes, and they will not consent to maintain the system by increasiog taxo=. It certainly ran not be supposed, without the profit feature, K-t tftvofiAri OTI/3 tVl?> CAtC.n. \J V laAUbiU.ii wuu taxpayers will rebel. The Governor^ teirn is only about half over. All fair minded people should suspend judgment id his administration until his record shall have been completed.

After the first day of January, the strictly educational and property test will be applied, under the Constitui tion, for the registration of voters. After January 1st, 1898, ihe persoj applying for registration must be able bcth to read and write any section of the Constitution submitted to him by the registration officer or can show that he owns, or bas paid all taxes col lectible during the pre?ioa3 year on property in this State assessed at three hundred dollars or more. All those who have registered under ihe Constitution of 1895 are declared duly qualified electors during life unless otherwise disqualified. A separate record of all persons registered before January 1st, 1898, is required to be kept, "sworn to by the registration officer," and filed, one copy with the Clerk of Court and one copy in the office of the Secretary of State, oa er before the' 1st February, 1898. Then a certificate of the Clerk of Court or Secretary of State shall be sufficient evidence "to establish the right of said citizens to any subsequent registration and the franchise under the limitations" impoied in the Constitution. The inquiry made by a subscriber - * ' ? as to tne exact locauun ui mc jjamv of Mobley's Meeting House suggests to us that very little h known of the many distinguished [men whom Fairfield ha9 furnished to the country. Young men kn^w so little about them that we have thought it a good idea to produce sketches of some of the prominent men that were born in Fairfield. For instance, a sketch of Richard Winn, Hugh Milling, Tom Woodward, the Regulator, General Glaaney, Chancellor Harper, Governor Means, and a great mauy others would be valuable and interesting. Of course, it will be difficult to have ihem entirely accurate, but if delayed there will be no one Jiving who cm give us aujr account at all. Such short sketches will fornish interesting his'orica) data for scrap-books, and ue thall do all we can to have them produced. Repbeseetative Young, of Penn* svlvania, has introduced in the House a bill authorizing the appointment, ! without civil service examination, of ! all honorably discharged so;aierst sailors and marines to vacant clerkships and other places in the civil service. We are farther told by a paper published at Washington that ' President MeEinley assured fJ-pnAral rjlarbson. National der of the G. A. R., that the policy of his administration, m every department, would be from first to last, to restore all veterans to the places which they formerly occupied as GovernI ment employes." Of course, the old I soldiers must be supported by the Government, but it would seem from > the figures that they are on the pen 8ion rolls. Whex Garfield was in the Senate he declared that the pension roll bad ] reached high water mark, and that it was time for it to recede. Bat Garfield was mistaken. The pension roll has not reached high water mark yet. In his annual report the Secretary of the Interior states that there are 200,000 i nomiftn oloi'mc nrtar aomitinor aflinf*a- IJ ^&U?IVU "V/ || v. .1 ??J , tion. It is estimated that enough of ; these claims will be allowed to in- ; crease the roll between $5,000,000, or $7,000,000. Secretary Bliss is com- ' forting, however. He thinks that in a j few years the roll will drop down to ( somethiug like $130,000,000. When j the pension roll is examined, the old j Confederate soldiers must wonder ' where that big army was in 1861-1865. * 1 Some of the recent pension requi- i ama eft ^aUaTTTO ^ OlUUlia l>OUCU 41^ OS iviiv !!? $641,000; San FraDcisco, $651,000; j Augusta, Me., 8531,000; Columbus, i Ohio, $3,568,000; Detroit, $1,442,000; I and Washington, $1.4Gt>,000.

Thompson, of York County, Made This Wonderful Yield?An Interesting Experience. Yorkeille Enquirer. Having finished the gathering of the crop off of mv pet acre of cotton, I will now, in compliance with your request made to me some weeks ago, endeavor to give you a history of the experiment. To begin with, the plot of lanrl was stepped oft by one of my neighbors as follows: First line, S6 yards; second 1 ro rHa I line, (jo yard*; iuiru nuc, w and fourth iiuc, 65 yards, enclosing a total of 4,910 square yards of dark gray land with yellow subsoil. Now, to 20 back a little. Two years ago (in 1895) this plot ;vas fertilized with 500 poui.ds of souible guano and planted in corn. The } ield was between 40 and 50 bushels. L-.st year (1896) it wa? tertilized with 16 twohorse loads of lot scraping, scattered broadcast, and 1,000 pounds of soluble guano, Charlotte acid and German fiHii. Afler this, it KiXiUii in v* .- .. 1 was planted with King cotton, and Ihe yield was 846 pounds of lint. About the middle of March, of the present year, I made a compost heap, consisting o>! 50 bushels of cotton seed six two-horse loads of stable manure, SCO pounds of Charlotte acid and 200 pounds of kaimt. After a thorough mixing these material were covered with rich earth and left in a low, flat heap until tbe loth of April, after having turned out the old stalks and smoothly harrowed my acre, I spread over it the contents of the compost heap, a* evenly as possible, and then turned it under to a depth of from six to eight inches, after which I again used the harrow to level and pulverize the laud. With the manure ia and the land thoroughly pulverized, I next took a terrace level, ran a line directly throogh the centre of the plot, and from this line, each way, laid off the rows 44 feet apart from centre to cen.re. Then, in the furrows, I drilled 700 pounds of equal parts of soluble guano, Charlotte acid and kainit, and after that, with a six-inch s-eel shovel, I prepared the land in low flat beds for plauting. The seeds used were what giight very properly be called Further Impreved King. They consisted of 100 pounds, carefully selected from the oest bolls off the best stalks that grew on the same land the year before. 9/w. r>f \foi7 T harrowed V/li IUC -Viu VA. the acre, and two days afterward went over it again, and, by hand, pulled it up to one stalk to every 6 or 8 inche3. This work I did myself, in order to be sare that it was done right, and also that I might be assured that there was nothing left but healthy, vigorous stalks. On tbe 27th of May I side-harrowed again, and on the 1st ol Jcne thinned to 18 inches in the drill. Next, on the 10th of June, I sided with a short straight shovel and 12-inch bow, and on tbe 22d I sided again with larger shovel and 16-inch bow. Then, on the 15th of July, I hoed and run three ?*?* >? ehrv-o] onrl 18-inoh heel JLU11UW3 Wiiu ouv>v? scrape. Last, on the 28th of July, I went through the middles as deeply as I could with & ball tongue, or scooter, and then, on the same day, "laid-by" by levelling off with shovel and heel scrape. The work of picking, ginning and packing has just been completed, with a total yield of four bales, weighing respectively 430, 441, 453 and 398 pounds, in all 1,722 pounds of lint on the acre. Now, Mr. Editor, I know that this is a phenomenal yield of csttoii to be fiv\m rmp sirvrp. and m?!UV of gttWIUlVM v.?w 7 # your readers will doubt tbis report. I have not g^t auything to say to Thomas; but ;o others who bc;ievo in the possibility ot things th-t they themselves have never seen, I beg to say that what I have doue is nothing more than they can do if they wiil use the means. Let them select tbw right kicd of seed, fertilize their land well, work it properly, and my word for it they will be gratified at the result. As for myself, I have been using the Tiomnitr fnv enmo fimp riMC* Ll.UJg vaiitlj iV/l o \j uiv vi^v r _ am not prepared" to say that the Kingis superior to all other varieties for all iinds of fioili"but in this climate, on highly fertilized lands, I think the King beats any other variety. While my success this year has been in a laige measure due to the seed?probably I owe more to the seed than anythine else; still I think [hat the deep furrow at the last working had much to do wilh the-yield. My opinion here is based on past experience. I have several time* before vo?V,am^ ?rr-/\ h<jIoe fpftm ntio an.i'P. I md each time there was a considerable quantity of fruit which failed to nature. Some of it rotted and some >f it dried up. Anyhow, it did not Dppn. I began to think it was impossible to cultivate or fertilise so as to get more than two bales.

In his famous book of intrigue, the "Three Muskeeteers," Dumas relates that Richelieu, ou one occasion, gare to one of his tools a sigued paper to the following effect:" "The bearer hereof has done what he has done by my order and ior tbe state." rne paper was intended to be nsed by the party to whom it was given in escaping the consequences of a murder that was under contemplation. It is a very serious question in South Carolina just now, as to whether such papers are held by dispensary constables, or that the constables only have tacit assurance ou the line indicated.

A fact often overlooked, or not always understood, is that womon suffer as much from distressing kidney and bladder troubles as the men. The womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and for that reason any distress, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneve? btck, bladder or urinary passage is olten, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort.
