The Hilled City Realizes a Loss, While Cokesbury Makes a Distinctive Gain ? Crop Conditions? Tronpe on a Trip. Lowndesvllle, July 31,1899. Messrs. J. E. Allen and J. M. Huckabee went to Mt. Carmel Monday. Dr. 8. M. Orr, of Anderson, came down Monday, called to see Mrs. Jas. H. Bell, wbo has been very sick for somet ime. Mr. Wilbur Power 8Dd Mrs. G. W. Speer, of Monterey, were up Monday the gue6ts oi Dr. A.J. Speer. Mr. J. O. Huckabee was called to Anderson jiouuay gu ousioess. Dr. w. 8. Stokes and Mr. 8. F. Epps left Tuesday morning for Ninety Six, to attend the District Conference to be held In tbat place, beglnlag tbat night. It 1b ratber unusual lor a Methodist congregation to change Its pastor twice In tbe same year. Sucb however, bas been tbe experience of tbls obargetbls year. At tbe last session of tbe South Carolina Conference, Rev. W. 8. Stokes was assigned to this work. Very soon thereafter, he and his family moved Into our midst. They very soon gained a high position among our peopie. They at once were given the .confidence and esteem of all of our people, aiid have steadily and surely risen till now it will be hard to sever tbe ties which have oeen formed. At a late meeting of the board of trustees of the Cofcesbury Conference School, Dr. Stokes was elected rector or that very important and renowned institution of learning. While no one, who at all knows Dr. Stokes, can for a moment doubt bis fitness for the place nor question the election, yet as we are all more or less creatures of selfishness, we can but feel that In this change in his surroundings. Cokesbury's gain ban been brought about by our loss. He is well equipped for the oattle of life. During bis boybood and early youug manhood, be bad the best literary educational advantages to be found, which be Improved to the fullest extent. He then stored his mind with all that was to be learned In the materia medlca. Although quite a young man. be has already made hts mark in teaching, in the practice of medicine and in preaching. His well proven ability aloog these lines, gives promise of much future usefulness Wherever he has been tried be has been fully up to all of tbe requirements, and nothing Is risked In saying tnat hts management ol bis present posttloa will give to It an Imputus onward and upward, which will in tbe near fature ralso it to the high standard of excellence which it once occupied in tbe dayB lone eone bv and to which It la so eminently entitled. Tbe best w inhen of alt of our people will go with him and bis family to tbeir new borne, aod hope for tbem future health, prosperity and happiness. Miss Etbel Speer spent tbe moat of last week among friends la tbe Monterey neighborhood. Miss Ida Watson, of Anderson, came down a few days ago. and has since been with her sister, Mrs. B. Bolln Allen. Mr. Clarence Young, of Anderson, came down Saturday to spend a few days with the family of his cousin, Mr. J. T. Latimer. Miss Mary Robertson, of Abbeville, came up a few days ago on a visit to the family of Mr. C. L. Cllnkscales and other relatives in this community. The crop conditions have changed much for tbe better in tbe past week. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday good rains fell, not only In this immediate section, but in all others, so far as heard from. While tbe ground has not been tnorougbly soaked, tbe rains did much good, but with it all, an average crop cannot be expected. However, if tbe people will give that increased attention and care to tbe Fall and winter crops, that the situation demands, next year will not be tbe hard one, that tbe long continued drougbtgave promise of. Corn and peas have been planted since the rains aud they will perhaps be of Bome help. Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Cllnkscales lost their second little boy on Saturday with something like congestion. Messrs. Harper <& Latimer have bought Mr. J. B. LeBoy's stock of goods, and will move them to their present stand near the depot. Mr. LeBoy baa been engaged in the mercantile buslnes here for about thirty years. He has ever been regarded as an honest dealer, and it is much regretted that he feels called upon to change bis business. Mr. B. J. Huckabee left Monday for a visit to Magnolia in tbe low country, to spend a few days with the family of Rev. E. W. Mason. This writer and his wife and daughter, took a drive to the country, to the pleasant bome of Mr. W. S. Bowman, about two miles out. It Is very pleasant indeed to go to such places and all who go there see many evidences to disprove the oft-repeated assertion that It does DOl pay u> itirui?luttl mere is u<j uivuvj In farming. Mr. Bowman not many year* ago moved to where be Is now living, then a poor place, but by proper rotation of crope and manuring, be has brought up bis farm to be one of tbe most productive In this section. Now be does not feel tbe bard times. He lives at borne and lives well. If all of oui GO L. .nd you w ood barga 1 ~ 2 ? uocls m or aense S WHICH IS COME ENTIRE STRAN( COME AND DO B planters had been following his system or farming our country would be In a much better condition than it now Is.

Newport News, Va. July 30 ?There are thirty cases of what Is believed to be genuine yellow fever at the National Soldiers' Home, Dear nampiuu, nuu iuico uoaiuo nuiu uiocaoo were reported to-day. Tbere were several other deaths at the Institution yesterday, but It cannot be stated to-night that all of them were caused by yellow fever. Newport News and Hampton *111 quarantine against the Soldiers' Home. The Government authorities at Old Point have already adopted this step, and no street cars are allowed to enter the reservation. Quarantine Officer Hobson, of this port, went to the Soldiers' Home to night and verified the statement that tbere are now thirty cases of the disease at the Home, and that tbere were three deaths Irora the malady to day. While no one outsida of the Soldiers' Home knew anything about the existence of the yellow fever until to-day, it is said that the disease made its appearance three days ago. The most rigid quarantine regulations will be enforced to prevent the spread of the malady. The news has created great excitement in Newport News, Old Point and Hampton, abd the most vigorous measures were resorted to prevent its spread. There are 4,000 veterans at the Home, and several large excursion par* ties went through it last week. THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON. Snrseun General Wyninu Heard the Report of Fever at Hampton a Week Ago, bnt ha<t Kept tbe natter Quiet. Washington, July 30.?Surgeon General Wyman, of tbe marine hospital service, was Informed on Sunday ntgbt of an outbreak of wbat It waR feared was yellow fever at tbe National Soldiers' Home at Hampton, and Immediately dlsDatched surgeons In tbe service Irom Wilmington, N. C.. Norfolk and Washington, to Investigate tbe sickness there, report on lis character to the authorities bere, and to take measures to prevent tbe spread of the disease. Dr. Wyman himself will go to Hampton in a few days to take charge of the work of preventing a spread of tbe disease If It develops Into genuine yellow fever. Two of tbe surgeous dispatched to tbe Home reported to-dastbat the symptoms very much resembled those of yellow fever, and that while they could not be positive in their diagnosis as yet, they were inclined to tbe belief that tbe illness was the dread yellow fever Jack. The government will adopt strict precautionary measures to prevent a spread of the disease and will fight its progress with all the skill and resources at its command. Surgeon General Sternberg, of the army, declared to an Associated Press reporter tonight that he has no official knowledge of the reported outbreak of yellow fever at Hampton. He expressed himself as highly IncreduInnu nf t Ko truth r>f t.ho utnrc uuvlncr ho had no Intimation oftbe existence or the fever at Hampton. Still, he said, be might not get the earliest news lu sucb n case, as reports probably would be first sent to the managers of the bo*rd of soldiers' homes. It appears that Dr. Wyman's Information of the reported existence of yellow fever came In a telegram from the surgeon in charge of the Soldiers' Home at Hampton, who expressed fettr that the disease was prevalent there. Dr. Wyman Immediately availed himself of the presence at Norfolk of Surgeon Wasdln, and directed that he proceed at once to Hampton and make a careful examination of the suspects. This afternoon the surgeon general received a dispatch from Dr. Wasdln expressing his convictions that the hospital authorities had been correct in their fears, and that the disease whs genuine yellow fever. Surgeon White, of this city, and Surgeon Wertenberker. and Wilmington, N. C., will go to Hampton, and other assistants from the service will be directed to proceed there as soon as the exact condition of affairs can be learned and the needs of the situation known. NOHFOLK TAKES ALARM. Norfolk, V&. July 30.?'The Norfolk board of health has quarantined against Old Point, Hampton and Newport News. Police officers have beeu sent out along the water front to watch for tugs, sail boats and other craft. There Is much excitement. Governor Woodfin, of the Soldiers' Homo, confirms the report of theexlstence of fever there. Hampton has been quarantined from Old Point and the rHE 5 w 4 OW is th are clear: * V ,ke room i I Fall WE ARE STILL ! USTOMED DULLNI AND YOU ARE SUI I trolley cars stopped running to tbe former place to-night. Tbe board of health at midnight Issued this order: "Until farther orders a strict quarantine Is hereby declared against Old Point. Phoebus, Hampton, Newport News and adjacent country." MILL CHAPEL, Active Effort* Made to Build a Placi< of Worship at the Cotton Mill. Mrs. Morse was seeing our people yesterday soliciting subscriptions toward the balldlng of a house of worship at tbe Cotton Mill. The mill people themselves have evinced a UUUJUICUUauiD Cttll'ootuono IU (.uc ujavioi, uuu have sabBorlbed liberally to this fund. It now seems probable tbat a house will be built as soon as tbe building material can be bad. From tbe organization of tbe mill Mrs. Morse has taken great Interest in tbe spiritual welfare of those who live In the cottages, and her labors are abont to be crowned with success in tbe erection for them of a bouse of worship. A school house Is badly needed, and if a cbapel and school house could be combined-, the school authorities might be willing to contribute something toward bulldiog it. Tbe cbapel, as we understand, Is not to be a sectarian institution, but It is to be a bouse In whloh ministers of any orthodox faith may be Invited to expound gospel truths, and where the Sunday Schools may be organlzed and taught. Those good citizens who believe In home missions could not contribute to a better cause, and it is to be hoped tbat the gospel may not be withheld from those who are at our very doors, and who seek tbe privilege of worshipping according to their own conviotions or inclinations. The idea tbat Christians are absolved from obligations to their neighbor because we have churches In town to which they are summoned every sunday morning, will not hold good. The idea tbat our neighbors may go to the bad man's bouse because they do not conform to our way of thinking is not to be com mended. 1 Tbe idea tbat we can consistently let our neighbors perish for the want of tbe gospel, while millions Is spent in foreign missions 1s hardly consistent with tbe tenets of the Christian religion. The Idea that efforts are to be wlthbeld from bringing our neighbors into tbe fold, and who thirst for tbe gospel, may be tolerated on the ground t hat we are more solicitous about people who desire to dine on cold missionary on state occasions. Tbe idea that we should force our religion on strangers, and withdraw our protecting arms from neighbors, It occurs to us, is not coming up to best of the Christian standards. Charity begins at home; It extends to our neigDDors; ana men it goes iu tuc iuiuibt parts of our owa land, and finally It overflows, and finds a place among those people who regard cold missionary as the choicest of dishes on occasions where only the select are Invited to dine.

TODP II I e favored ino? rmf a < LJLL^ UUU %AJ J for the and Wi HAVING A LIVELY 2SS OF THE MID-SI IE TO BE PLEASED i^??^?i Practical Irrigation' In Georgia. By k. j. merkiam. The question of Irrigation Is one which excites Instant Interest wherever we bear It mentioned, and If you happen to raise an extra fine crop of anything, the faot that yoa have irrigation explains It all, no matter bow many other factors may have been Instrumental In bringing about the result. When putting In a system of irrigation there are a number of questions wblcb most be answered before we are sure tbat it will prove a profitable investment. First, in regard to your water supply. Second, your location, and lay ot the land. Tblrd, the orop to be irrigated, and, fourth, the method of irrigation it Is best to adopt. THE WATER SUPPLY. It is almost an absolute necessity tbat there be a stream of water through the property which ls not likely to go dry and, wblcb will give you a sufficient supply of water, for it Is seldom tbat wells, even if dug very large, will afford enough water. I bave, however, known of one or two cases where they have proved a success. LOCATION AND LAY OF LAND. If you contemplate irrigating your place, It is very Important that your location be con- J venlent toagood market, for the crops wblcb | pay bent with irrigation must De raaraeiea quickly. The lay of the land must also be considered. It should have a gentle slope, with the rows laid off so the water will ran freely along them withoat washing. It will not pay to Irrigate very steep land, for no matter how well It Is terraced, It is very difficult to lay off the rows so that you can Irrigate them without allowing the land to> wash, more or less. Very flat land should also be avoided, assuch land is difficult to Irrigate unless you have a very large supply of water. It Is alsooften neccessary to flood this land, and unless the under*dralnage is perfect, much damage would be done the growing crops by the land becoming too wet. THE CROP TO BE IBRI9ATED. As a rule it will not pay to Irrigate ordinary I farm crops here at the South, for we nearly ai- j ways have sufficient rain to make these crop#, and with proper cultivation, failure is very rare, while the increase la the crop due to toe Irrigation would not pay for the outlay. Id faot, there are very lew crops outside of berries ar>d vegetables wbloh will pay to Irrigate. Now and then we have a reason when it would pay to Irrigate corn, provided we bad a natural water supply; 1. e. wheie? the water of a steam can be diverted Into * bead ditch from which it could be turned directly luto tbe field. This method is so simple and Inexpensive that It would pay ou almost any orop in a very dry year. But. [ when we go to the expense of putting in at* engine with lines of pipes, we must have a. money crop to apply It to where the returns. | will be correspondingly great. METHODS OP IRRIGATION. | Among the different methods of irrigation' we hoar a great deal about tbe ram and tbo windmill. Now while these two methods are admirably adapted for applying water for thehouse and lawn, and to Irrigate small gardens, when we come to field work they arequite out of tbe question, as It requires 10,000 to 15,000 gal Ions of water to properly irrigate an acre, while the amount of water wblcb tbey pump in a given space of time Is sosmall that large storage tanks are neCessary ] In order to make them all at operative, and a. j storage tank Is a source of expense and worry I from start to finish. It also requires two-1 linos nf dIds. lone to carrv the water to the-1 tank, and a larger one to convey it to theHeld. But there are so many better ways to Irrigate, that I shall not take up the subject of atorape tanks or reservoirs in the present article. THE DAM AND THE HILLSIDE DITCH. The most Batisfaotory method of irrlgatloa Is the natural one of damming up or tumlBg aside a stream, and conveying the water to the field In a main or bead ditch, from wbich It can be turned, where convenient, Into other dltcbes or furrows, to be again subdivided Into smaller streams and turned dowu between the rows of growing crops. Care should be taken when planting a crop to be irrigated, > not to have the rows too long, for in 'bis , event the upper end of the rows will become i too wet before the lower end is sufficiently j "rrlgated. Where lt Is necessary to have long .ows, we arrange for a cross-furrow and a : redistribution ol water about every fifty yards. It is absolutely necessary that the land to be Irrigated, especially bottom lands, be well underdralned In order to carry off any o..>niuo iraiBp Tha trrttnr nnon made a sad mistake and ruined a fine patch of cabbage^ wltb irrigation wbere tbo land was not. properly drained. We had just flnlsbedl 1 watering tbe cabbage when there came on a very heavy rain ; the soil became saturated' | ana could not rid Itself of the surplus water. Result, most of tbe cabbage wilted down and died. THE GASOLINE K.N'QINK. The next best method, and one whloh tor OF ?1 T71 I Hi time to gi great mar liter G( TRADE AND ARE JMMER MONTHS. ? i proving quite a success In this locality, is to pat the water on by direct pressure with a gasoline engine. A three or six horse power engine wild rotary or regular Ruction and force pump will deliver three thousand gallons of water per hour, any ordinary distance, < at a cost of S1.00 per day. and with very little attention. If the engine is properly regulated and lubricated it will run naif a day without being looked after, although It is better to no> . tlce it every hour or so. One line of pipe to the field is all that is necessary, with cocks to let the water out where it is wanted. Care should be taken to have a proper basin to < draw the water from, to prevent sand from getting into the pump and wearing out the packing. The water should be run down between the rows the same as with the natural system; because it is less work than to put It on with a hose and sprinkler, and because there is less loss from evaporation, while the 1 benefit to the crop is fully as great. The steam engine, while It will pump the - water all right requires me coubuiui h^idutlon of one man, and the cost of tael is muoh , greater. Where there is an abundant supply ( of water with considerable fall, the new j hydraulic engines may prove a success, but we can not say, not having tried them. With ns | it is a question of making a little water go a long way; and for this purpose the natural ; system supplemented by the gasoline engine ( gives us the best results. j Battle Hill, Ga. , i DENTAL NOTICE.
