The Southern Farmer and H Iculturi8t gives the following good adnice: "The heavieit yields of hay per acre on r??ord are from the Sonth, and yet vast sums of hard earned money goes to the West for hay. Nearly every pound of Hay ccnsumed in Southern cities is brought from the West. Why should not the farmers of our Southern States supply all of tho hay consumed in the cities and towns and keep the money in circulation at home? We can never prosper so long as so much of the money received for our products goes away from us to circulate elsewhere. Now is the time to prepare land to be sown in grass and clover next month. It will pay better than cotton." Shake Into Yonr Shoes. Allen's Foot-Ease, a powder for the feet. It cares painful, swollen, smarting feet and instantly takes the sting out of corns and bunions.

Resolutions Paused by Camp Rains in Memory of Gen. John Eratton. At a memorial meeting held by Camp Rains on the 19th u!t., in honor of General John Bratton, the following preamble and resolutions, after having been eloquently and warmly seconded by Major T. W. Woodward, Capt. H- A. Gaillard a id quite a number of veteran comrades, were adopted by a rising vote: It being one of tbe main objects of the institution of the Confed?ratc Veterans to perpetuate the memory or' the cause of the Scuth during the war between the States; and that cauie resting for its chief support npon the character and services of our comrades daring and and since that period, Camp Rains announces with profound regret the death of our beloved comrade Gen. John Bratton, on the 12th day of January, 1898. Gen. Brattod was born in Wiuueboro, S. C., on the 7th day of March, 1831, and passed his entire life with the people of Fairfieid Cou y, either in the tented field, or in the civil service of tbe State, or in living and promoting a high citizenship in his dailv walk of neighbor with neighbor. Being descended from ancestors of the American Revolution of 1776, Gen. Bratton inherited from them and illustrated in his life and conduct a love of liberty and hatred of tyranny, which were "the imarked traits of his ances iry. At the very lirst commencement of the war between the States he gave his services to tb? South, and nntil the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House in 1865 his mind never looked back to calculate victory or defeat, but bis pure spirit of love of country kept straight onward in intense consecration and development. His life a3 a Confederate soldier was a pattern of patriotism. He iwic became a private tnat he might serv the South on the field of battle; and while walking the simple path of duty #1? t-.^ t in T ? VjCD. IfcOUl. Xi. uee uayy mu wunu *uu called him from the colonelcy of the Sixth Soath Carolina Regiment to the rank of brigadier general. Therefore, be Jt resolved by Camp Rains? 1st. That in the death of Gen. John Bratton the Confederate Veterans have lost a comrade who was a "measure of the stature of the fulness" of the Confederate soldier?a proof of what the Confederate soldier" was snd a standard of the highest martial excellence. 2nd. That in his death Fairfield County has lost a citizen, eminent in wisdom, wise in counsel, true in devotion and constaut and consistent in patriotic purpose, aim and conduct. 3rd. That in his death the State of South Carolina lias lost a citizen, who was always ready to serve her at any sacrifice; a citizcn who sought none of hor civic honors, but who adorned and magnified all she Imposed upon him, and who in the face, of recognized defeat held up te the' people of this State their duty and daager, seeking and receiving no other^ reward lhan sublime consciousness of having listened to the voice of duty, "the stern daughter of the voice of lioa." 4th. That in bis death the Sooth has lost a son, who was from his birth to his death an illustration of her teaching, traditions and institutions and a rare type of her ideal of soldier, citizen and patriot; in whom not only j was ?o part of her glory erer impaired, bnt by whom her character and worth were made sublimely conspicuous, real and practical. 5th. That Camp Rains points to his life and sertices in war and in peace as an answer to all who would call in question the cause of the South during and since the war between the States; and this camp is fully assured that after the record that he has left us of that cause, nothing can be said or written which shall ever maite us doubt the ultimate place in history of the Confederate soldier's life, characier and services. Cth. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family ot our deceased comrade and that a copv of the same be published in . The News aot Herald. 7th. That these resolutions ba recorded in our Minute Book aad that a blank page therein be inscribed to his memory. Skin Diseases.
