. - I- ? 1 The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S, C. BILL AKV Talks with His Friend Jako on'Some Public Mutters. Atlanta Constitution. Uncle Jake is not a scholar, but is a reader and a thinker. He takes some papera and borrows other. He is getting old and is quite amiable and tolerant. His natural disposition is not to criticise, but rather to apologise for everything and everybody. When there is conflict and excitement and bitterness be takes no side, but offers excuses for both. "There are two sides to this thing," says he, <:and folks ought to discuss it more calmlv." It always interests me to draw him out on the perplexing questions of the day, and hear him express hie "learnings." "I havent mind enough," Bays he, "to decide betwixt 'em, but it will all work out. right after awhile. Oui Heavenly Father is mighty good to His creatures as long as good people are in the majority. He would have saved Sodom if Abraham could have found ten good people there. I don't know how big the town was?big as Atlanta, 1 reckon, but it must have been an awful place. God puts up with a heap before He leta his wrath boil plum over. Me never sent the flood until the number oi good people was reduced down to eight, and I reckon one of them was a pretty hard case and was just saved on account of his kinsfolks. I believe there is man; a young man and young girl, too, who will be saved on account of their father and mother. Atlanta is said to be a right wicked town, but I reckon there are several hundred good people there?pretty good people?and I think she is safe. The towns are worse than the country for you see the devil hasent got time to run round from house to house and whisnoi Ma rlooilmonf. ill t.hpir PftTS. TTfl wants 'em by the wholesale. He won't Bet his trap to catch odo bird. He's got Bense, he has. He won't waste bis ammunition." "Uncle Jake," said I, "what's your opinion about the alliance, and the subIreasury ?" "Oh, I don't know," said he, "it will all work out right after awhile. There are two aides to it, and whenever there are two sides it gets up discussions, and we will have to wait until the aigument is over. It is in a right smart tangle yet, but the people will do right when thev have time to see what right is. The farmers are raisiDg a powerful rumpus, and if they are demanding too much it is a good way to get something. I remember when the watchword of our party was '$54.40 or figbt,' but we settled down to $36.30 and dident fight, either, for that was all the territory we were entitled to. "Folks will have to make a fuss sometimes, or they will be run over. You know Bob. Smith actually quit his crop and went to preaching all the week, and when his boss made a fuss about it, Bob said: 'We is just obleezed to go to preaching. You white folks done got die here world, and we niggers is a fixing to get de next one.' The farmers have been navincr trihiitn tn nrntpiMinn fnr spvftntv? Jt"V"?> I J five years, and they are tired. They want their time to come. They want a bounty in somo shape. Sugar has got one, and why not cotton and corn, and wheat and rice? Five dollars a bale on cotton would help powerfully, and that would be only $40,000,000 a year. That's nothing for a government like this. Suppose we paid $100,000,000 a year to the farmers in bounties, they would get the money and their products be no higher. The poor people would get them as cheap aa ever. I can bay my sugar at 5 cents, but the sugar planter gets 2 cents a pound more. This plan would stimulate farming and beat the sub-treasury scheme. The manufacturers have had that much or more for fifty years through the protective tariff?why not the farmers?" "But Uncle Jake," said I, "where will the government get the money to pay these bounties?" "Oh, I don't know," said he, "where there's a will there's a way. There's the income tax, that they could make ae heavy as they please, and they could put Bome more on whiskey?whiskey will stand a sight. It pays *180,000,000 now, and could just as easy pay $280,000,000." "But suppose," said I, "the temperancc movement abolishes whiskey?whal then ?" "Why, then," said Uncle Jake smiling, "we would have such nmillennium we would'nt need any. If whisky wat abolished it would save a thousand millious a year to the country. Withoul whiskey we would all get rich. Whiskj runs poorhouses and lunatic asylums and orphans' homes and jails and cbaingaDgs and prisons of all kinds. Whisky runs the courts and the taxes and pretty much the lawyers and doctors, to say nothing o! broken vows and broken hearts. W< could afford to swap away every bounty and pension and protection to get rid oi whisky, but we won't talk about thai now, fcr it's not in sight. It's only e hope, a dream. The devil will give up evarything before he will whisky." "Uflcle Jake," said I, "do you believe in a real, personal devil ?" The old man looked surprised. "Why not," said he. "Why not? Don't the Bible tell us all about him and all his officers?Satan and, Beelzebub and Apolyon and Moloch and Belial and all those fellows ? Why, the old scoundrel came here first. He bad possession when Adam was created, and he began right straight to work on him, and he's been a working on his posterity T :i o T ever since, uon c i teei m uou t * 1 know it? He's been working on me all my life, and I have to fight him every day. What makes me have wicked thoughts?thoughts of passion, revenge, envy, covetousness. When that mean old rascal, Jim Wilkins, was tore all to 1 pieces by the cyclone, what made me glad of it? Don't I know that all such thoughts are unbecoming to a gentle' man ? What makes me love to hear Sam 1 Jones sanctify the people, what makes a ' little child show passions and selfishness 1 before it can talk? The Lord dident make us that way, not at the start, He ' dident. The old devil is at the bottom of every bad thing, and we have just got to fight him, that's all. If he whips the ' fight here, then we become his subjects, 1 art Qtrnioht tn hi* kinffdom . fire or no fire. That's what I believe. If I tell my 1 boy not to go in a washing this ovening, he is perfectly free and able to mind me ornot mind me, and jnst so the Lord has made me a free agent) to do right; or to 1 do wrong. The good Spirit works on me 1 and the devil works on me, and I can ^ take my choice?that's what I believe." 1 Sam Jones and Sam Small have got together again, and they make a powerful ' team. It doesnt matter what some folks or some papers say about them they are 1 shakiDg up the people. I don't know what would become of ua if it were not ' for the preachers. I saw a man shedding 1 tears last night while Sam Small was talking, who hasent had a tender thought or a pure one in years, they'say.

' Tarn Cboblng People Upside Down. 1 Mayor's Office, Fredericksburg, 1 Vam Sept., 12.?Messrs. Editors: The 1 Sun of the 11th instant contained a '.'special" from Pittsburg, Pa., which stated that a party was choked to death by a piece of meat lodging in his throat, and, as I know of a very Bimple remedy, which has always proved successful whenever tried, I desire to make the ' same known through the columns of your widely circulated journal. Some two years ago a death from choking was reported in the New York World, and I i wrote a short article for that paper, giv* t ing the remedy, and requested that any one who had tried it would write me. In 1 a few weeks I received a letter from a , grateful mother who had Baved the life ' of her little daughter when almost gone. I have known of several instances of > children that were badly choked being t relieved at once, and, one instance, a ( bean in a child's noee was removed by . the same means. i The remedy is Bimply this: To reverse - the position of the body by turning the t head down and the feet up at once as r soon as a case of choking occurs. I saw 1 a man once badly choked, who must have ) died but for knowing this remedy, but he ) rushed to a sofa near a window, and, i placing his hands on the floor, with his t head down and his feet elevated in the s window, he was instantly relieved. ' I will thank any who may try this f remedy to kindly write me the results i and to publish the same for the benefit of i the public, for I have never known it to > fail iu a single instance. A. P. Rowe, Mayor. ART OF RUN-MAKING IN TEXAS. Col. Dyrenforttvweli;8AtlsHed wlth Regalts. Col. Dyrenforth, who conducted the recent experiments in Texas, with a view of testing the theory of rain production by great atmospheric disturbances, is not the kind of man to rest, but, at least, n far aa fhof wnrt ia pnnpornprl in fnfr ing matters easily, and receiving daily reports from hid assistant, Lieut. Ellis, who is now in Texas pursuing the work. "The work that we have done," said Col. Dyrenforth last night,' "has convinced me that the subject is well worth being thoroughly investigated, and in my opinion it should be pursued still further. I do not say that what has been accomplished is sufficient, but enough has been done to convince any one conversant with the subject that we are on the right track. A further out* lay of money would b? profitable, but whether Congress will make an appropriation for future experiments I do not know. That is a matter the Agricultural Department will no doubt take up. So far nothing has been done in this direction, but I feel pretty certain it will be brought before Congress in due time. "As for myself I will not conduct any more experiments, for my private business is interfered with too much. These experiments ought to be conducted under the direction of some one now in the service of the .Government?an army officer for instance. You will see by the dispatches from Lieut. Ellis that he noticlti the force of the waves produced by a discharge of dynamite from the earth, while he was in a balloon some distance above. Thia same thing was no* ticed while he waa at Midland. We bad a captive balloon attached to a wire. It was at the time I speak of about 1,000 feet high, and a half mile from the operators. While it was in this situation a lot of dynamite was discharged. The charge was sufficient to produce waves of such force that they struck the balloon producing a noise similar to the flapping of a huge sail on a vessel when struck by the wind. The report was so loud that we thought our balloon had bureted. There can be no doubt but that these concussions produce the atraoapheric disturbances, and, properly conducted, briDg about the gathering of clouds and precipitation of moisture. I believe that in time the theory can be reduced to an absolute art. "There is still mach, however, that we must determine. We do not know just how these discharges should take place. So far it is a mere coDjecture, and can only be ascertained by being worked out. We must find out by experiment whether it, is belter to arrange our discharging force in a line, in a circle, spirally, or whether it should be concentrated. The question of altitude also has much to do with it. The method of producing the concussion has more, perhaps, to do with it than the mere discharge itself. We know of instances where powder mills have tyown up, gredt quantities of powder having been exploded with no resulting rain. The same absence of rainfall has been noticed following the accidental discharge of a large amount of dynamite. Of course, it will cost money to make these experiments, but it will be money well spent. "Had it not been for the utmost economy on our part during our recent expe uiuuu uie very amau apprupnauuu ui $7,000 would have been* used up long ago. The railroads aud others have been very kind to us. The Iron Mountain and other southern roads furnished free transportation for our whole party and all of our goods and material. Mr. Nel* son Morris, who put his ranch at our disposal, permitted his carpenters and la* borers to do our work, and thereby saving us hundreds of dollars. Had it not been for all tfccse things we would have run out of money loDg ago. As a matter of fact the Government paid for the materials used in the experiment at Midland only. While we were there citizens of ?1 Paso and Corpus Christi waited upon us and desired us to make experiments there, but I did not think it right to spend all the money in Texas. At my suggestion El Paso agreed to pay for all materials used in an experiment there, and it was under such circumstances that we went there. Down there there is intense interest in the success of these experiments, and the people of Texas appreciate the fact that if rain can be produced by this means millions or acres of arid land will be redeemed, and the property in the State be increased in value amazingly. I received a telegram from Lieut. Ellis this afternoon, stating that he was going, in a few days, to Oorpus Christi to make another experiment. As I said before, we have discovered enough to know that these experiments ought to be pursued, and I believe this will be done." charges $500 a shower. Topeka, Kan., Sept. 19.?Melbourne, the Australian rain wizard, has agreed for $500 to make torrents of rainfall at Goodland next Saturday. Goodland is the county seat of Sherman County bordering on Colorado. He contracts to make it rain for fifty miles in all directions from Goodland. His method is entirely different from Dyrenforth's. He takes his chemicals into a small building, makes the room dark and runs a small pipe out the roof, No one can see what produces the raio, t- mm L L!- I *1 - 1 A ?L 1-!J. uui oio uruiuer goes aoouion ine oucsiae among the crowd and offers to bet any amount that rain will fall in torrents within forty-eight hours.

Washington Post of Sunday. ' LIntless Cotton Seed. Manager Cnreton, of the Greenville cotton seed oil mill, is experimenting with the lintless cotton of H. T. Ferguson, living near Woodruff, in Spartan* burcr Countv. twentv six miles east of this ciTy. The object of Mr. Cureton's experiments is to find what value the seed has as an oil producer aod as a fertilizer. A NewB reporter yesterday saw several stalks of the cotton at the oil mill. They were not unlike the ordinary stalks in appearance and no difference can be seen in the green bolls nntil they are opened. Then the observer ia astonished. He sees nothing but a boll full ot green seed such as he would find on opening a pea pod. The merest trace of lint is found. The stalks in the possession of Mr. Cureton contain one or two open bolls, aod when a close inspection is made there is again surprise. The seeds stick in the bolls until ihey are well matured aod if not picked drop out. When ripe they are intensely black in color and resemble the seed of the famous Peterkin cotton. Ttifl? ara lororor than tVin nrdimrv tnrd. ? ? ?ft? ?~ J Mr. Cureton has not fully completed bis experiments, tot be has made a few simple tests. He Bays llie seed has much more oil than the ordinary seed and far more meal. He believes the cotton can be easily cultivated and will yield from 300 to 400 buabels on tbe acre. He believes, from what be now sees, that there is a great future for the cotton as an oil producer and fertilizer maker. ' The seed are gathered much like peas and the cotton is harvested much like otber cotton. Mr. Ferguson has an acre in cultivation this year. The following are tbe claims made for tbe cotton in a circular sent -out by Mr. Ferguson: "Ferguson's lintless cotton is tbe grandest discovery of the age.

Sowed broadcast as peas for fertilizing purposes up to the 10th of June, will shed on the land from 100 to 200 bushels of seed without any work. The cotton grows tall, putting oat from six to eight long running limbs near the bottom of the stalk. They resemble potato vioes. Each of these limbs will mature from eight to twenty bolls, besides the short limbs and brace limbs common in other cotton. "For stock it in superior to all others. Chickens, turkeys and ducks devour the seed when in the roastiDg ear state as eargerly as they do corn. Stock of all kinds eat them."?Greenville News. A Cool Husband. Last November a Missouri man went to Mexico on a three months' trip. In January he was supposed to have been killed, but was only a prisoner to brigands. He returned recently to find that hfo wife had turned over a new leaf in the marriage service, and that another man occupied bis seat in the chimney corner. Did he go to work and slaughter the false wide and new husband. Not much. He walked in and said : "Well, old gal, how is things?" "Putty good, Bill," said the doublemarried woman, not taken aback greatly "Which do you prefer, the old or the new love?" She hesitated for an instant, and then said: . "I don't like to hurt your feelings?but ?but?" "Oh, spit it out! Don't mind my feelings or the other chap's. I won't be angry if you come down a little rough on my vanity. Count on mebeing amiable. I won't cut up rusty if you should go back on me." "I'm glad you're so thoughtful, Bill; and I acknowledge that I do like my present husband best; but if anything should happen to him, I know nobody else I would so soon join fortunes with again as you." ' Thai's the way to talk. I'll now bid you good by, hoping that no accident will happen to the other fellow, and that he will live long to enjoy your delightful society. So, good day."

Before Sam Jones went to preaching ran a public dray in Cartersville, his i live town, tie was a laminar bgt around the depot, and be at that tii hauled all the drummers'trunks from t depot to the hotel. Many veteran dru mera yet remember Sam as a drayme His outfit was a small, rickety, rattlii ramshackling wagon and an old sor horse, that was old and experienc enough to have come down from the n olutiooary war. This horse was a chi acter in his way, and some people say was the cause of Sam'a reformation. 1 was as humble a horse as one would wi to see. He submitted to all Sam's cu and rebuffs without any protest otb than mildly backing his flea bitten ea He had an air of one who was alwa deeply engaged in thoughts and look upon the frivolities 0/ this life with e preme disdain. And then Sam's hoi was extremely unsociable in bis tempe ament. He never cared to make any < acquaintances and seemed desirous treading the wine press of sorrow aloe For many days he went on in the sai quiet way, drawing Sam's rickety c dray with the sublimest fortitude. It w never necessary for Sara to tie him wb he left him, for he had such in?urmoui able constitutional objections to locom tion there was little danger of him taki his departure. So Sam thought, (and it went for many, many days. * * * * But things do not always remain t same, alas 1 One day Sam's horse was seen, to I most extreme surprise of the Cartersv 1 ians, tearing down Main street, follow by the dray, which was rolling about frc one side to the other. Down the stri he went like mad, and seems wonder! to those who knew him intimately tt be could acquire such speed. Sam, wl had left him for some purpose, ato watching bis mad career eagerly. ? "He's decided to emigrate," Sam ] marked, as the horse continued his wi flight. Presently the horse swerved to t right and the wagon struck against a ti with a crash and came to a standstill. The spectators all went down to surv the wreck. It was a complete 01 indeed. Sam stood and looked at it i lently for some moments in deep refle tion. There was a pathos in his voi when be finally turned around and sai "I guess I'll have to find some otb way to make a living." In a few weeks Sam left CarterBvi! and went down near Columbus.

Tbe freezes of ?s- winter will kill tbe roots. Harrowing iid and cross plowing in tbe early spriag of will pulverize tbe soil and prepare it for e* a crop. A Bermuda sod will increase tbe id, fertility of land 50 to 100 per cent. It ht requires two strong, steady horses- or (J. mules to turn the sod. >ly It is always considered cheaper to raise mules than horses. They mature of faster and thrive under circumstances ay that would keep a horse colt poor. Bat ;nt the true idea in raising a colt of any sort ia- is to keep it in a thrifty condition all the. rer time. Never allow them to get "dead >m poor" just to toughen them. Even when colts have tbe run of pasture a small grain ration once a day will help them very much. With this treatment will pay for their keeping after they jure two years old. The most salable mules, aa )a* well as the most desirable one* for oar ,re farms, are the active, lively medium 116 mules.

Now, if our farmers determine to raise colts, some of them will have to turn nr. ? ? over a new leaf. The fact is they will have to tear out the old ones and throw 1 s them away. A man cannot spend half >er bis time riding around to political meetr8' ioga and to the little towaa and raise iys colts with any success. He will have to ^ give up weBtero corn and hay.
