T No Forage Crop EqnalN II. f News and Courer. ^ Tbe veteran Carolina farmer. Col. J. Wash Watt*, speaks strongly In lavor ol alfalfa? n or lucerne, as be preiers to call It?In bis In tereatlng letter printed several days ago. IIs nota "new" or "experimental" crop In tbih a State as he sbows. The Hon. R. T. Simpson V sowed it titty years ago In tt garden at Laureut and it 16 sill! growing wbere be planted it? h wnion goes to sustalu all that bus beeu saia w as to Its lasting character, aud to prove tba> It is not readily 6motbered by tbe rank weed' u and grasses of this region, as Mr. Brabhau fuurcH it micrht be. No one ueed relralu troiii s trying the crop, vberefore, on that account "There is do danger of the weeds and grai^ <1 tHklop It." CoL Watts says that he himself Knows; it s vmue Iroio personal experience, as tie uoweu v bis first crop about ' fiity years ago, and hu appreciation of It haw 'grown with its use," i No forage crop with which be Is acqualnieo li "tquals is In vaiue, whether fed green or us hay." After his own loug experience ol It. li moreover, he does not doubt ibe statement that one acre ot It will feed five horses, lor * H reason which he explalus; "I had at out t time," he says, "half an acre, and mlifeeu seven large cows, which were led night auo n morning, and every time we had to cut me r balance of a monthly yield; tbe cows did noi eat It all." c The plant Is generous enough, certainly, to atlsly tbe most exacting farmer. d p Mr. John L. Walts has also tried It. Col i Watts reports : "1 saw bis crop on June 24. . He had out it twice, and it whs ready again? * say three crops by July 1. What is there ii< n tbe lorage line that win equal this." What is {.here, indeed ? And it does not stop at three L V crops. "Alter the first cutting you may mow o It every thirty days until tbe middle oi September"? which makes six crops at least. J We know of no other lorage or other plant t ' that yields the /armer six lull crops a year, for years together, from one planting. The u wonder Is that any farmer witb so (uucb tea li timr.nv frr\m nurletiL-etl farmers to instruct him as to ltH great value, should require t< be urged to give such a crop a trial! Col. Waits adds home particulars which an a of service to tbo?e wlio intend 10 try it. "You may sow lo September," tie suy>, and iuuy ^ have to belp it agalust weeds early nexi , spring, (for which reason It 18 expedient It. sow It lu drills,) "but by tbe mlddie of April t| you may mow u, aud then every thirty days v uutll tbe middle ol September. If treated [L properly (that In, keep cattle and otber slock ( W from trampling It, which Is the easiest wfty , to kill It,) aud manned every year, It will , live indefinitely." Aud will yield its nu- , mery us crops lndtfluiteiy. We add some further pertinent Information b which is presented lu the Bulletin of the Minnesota Experiment Station. It says; Alfalfa raeches tbe condition most suitable for cutting wben one-third of tbe blossoms have appeared. Alter tbls a larger amount " of much mierlor hay is obtained. These re- J suits agree with those obtained by the Kansas ' Agricultural Experiment Station. The * i cbemlcal department of that station obtained 1 I tbe following results: S One-tentb 10 bloom. 18.5 per cent protein. J* It* One-half In bloom, 17.2 per cent protein. . *? In full bloom, 14 1 per cent protein. Ills staled lu the bulletlu of Ibe Kansas ? Station that "tbe late cutting ol the first crop N seems to Injure tbe plant more than at any e - other time, aud we have found It profitable to cut alfalfa tbe first time ax soon as one ' k tenth is in bloom, even though the weaiber " Ik was bad and we knew tbat tbe crop would spoil In curing. The increased yield from ' W sucoeedlng cuttings over tbat cut late mum 11 more than make up for the loss ot tbe first crop. Successful clover growers tbe first time they try alfalfa often ruin tbe stand, so tbat it has to be ploughed up, by walling to r cut until it rencbes the stage at which clover 3 Is usually cut." Tbe Utah Experiment Station for five years 1 cut airalfa at different stages of maturity aud s fed the crop in producing beef. The average production per year per acre was as follows : Hay. B^wf. In first bloom 53-i tons 700 lbs lu full bloom -i.yn tons M>2lbs ilalf bloom fallen -1.05 10ns 4'JU lbs Col. Walts, Mr John I). Wutts and Mr. Klmpsou have proved that the crop does well In the up country. The Experiment Station ^ at Charleston has proved tbat it Is equally adapted to the low country. It will doubtless do wel 1 any where in the State, on well drain ed laud. And any farmer in tlie State will do well to try It. There In no forage plant la this ] section to compare wuti It, whether lor green I tood or for hay. I Surgeon"* Fees. j When a physician or a surgeon lias a sick < patient who may till a big place In the public 1 eye, he generally gets a good lee for his i professional services. Hut physicians do more free work thau any other class ol men i on earth. Whether a ruan is rich or poor they seldom refuse their best service, and their kindly offices are extended to many a : sufferer who has no money at all. An instance of the best surgical attention for ihe i least leeourecoid came to our notice lately. < William Edward Whltmore, a poor little negro, with a great big sore on his loot needed | surgical attention. He went to one ol our best physicians for help, and received kindly aud skillful trealment from the big heurted I doctor. Th<? little darkey had only a nlckle; with which to pay. but he got as good service as the richest man in town would get for $10. As ye have done it unto one of the least of them, etc, etc. Circumstances do not make a man weak, but they show what manner of Y man lie is.

I'1 Train lor Atlanta Derailed?Four Person* Injured. Greenwood, July 12.?The two rear cars, the ti ['oilman sleeper and cafe car,of the south- tI >ound vestlbuled train, on tlie Seaboard Air si Line, were wrecked here about uoou today, fbe two earn led tlie track at the grade cross- . I tic od Church street, and were carried for- D' ward about flfty yards. ? The track whs en- C( [irely torn up and the two cars finally thrown u un the Hide of the embankment, stopping the ti rest of the train. There were four grown per- " sons in the Pullman besides three children. V: Apparently all the lti|urles are external and fs not serious, with possibly one exception. . None of those injuied remained here, except 11 Mrs. J. Saul, of Atlanta. She was leaning el against the window when the coach was cj thrown over, and she received several severe cuts 011 her face from broken glass. The oth- P er passengers lu the Pullman were Mrs. W. \\ H. Bailey, of Clinton, and her young son, ?: Harry ; Col. Robert Lowry, of Atlanta, and a young man whose name was not given. He sustained injuries on his knee. Mrs. Bailey's L young son, Harry, was cut by broken glass. ft The wrecking train from Abbeville was soon on the spot, but it will be some time before P they can get tlie track In shape. The rest of a the train continued the trip lo Atlanta. Great (i crowds of people soon congregated and every doctor In town was on the spot in a few minutes after the wreck. H. L. \V.

It ?ems to me that an ad In this style would Uraot attention by Its novelty and that It nuld pay to make It a permanent feature. My Idea of a "newepaper" ad Is to have le ad printed on four pages of the newsaper next to the told so It can be cut out and iken to the store or saved lor future referace. Id Khor:,lt would be a "store, paper" I a nM??noniT Thfi ad should occupy a >ace of not less than Gx9 Inches oq the first, icoud, seventh aivl eighth pages, (or third, mrtb, fifth and sixth pages) and be set next ) the fold. The first page of the ad should be Bet In filiation ol the flrnt page of a regular newsiper, with the title in large Old English or oman type; the "ears," or Rpaces before and ter the title, might contain the weather redlctions and m'nlature almanac for the ly, following should be the place and date. Lien comes the body of the ad, which should i osely follow the usual make up of a news- I tper ; the principal events of the day at the Kht of the page with double column scare Jttuiug nuuu an AJicni-oittuuuioi, . aadlngs In smaller typo, "la White Goods," | Sow's Your Ctiance,'' "Prices Cut for One roek." etc., to be followed by an itemized ;t, with prices, In body type (about 6 point) 1th no display. At the leit of the page Inrt two or three regular display ads. The second page printed on the second or urth pa?e of the editorial page and should mtaln the title, nameof publisher, number, ite and an editorial or store talk about the >licy, management, etc,, of the store. No splay on this page. The third page of the ad might contain reeorfour small display ads, each adver >iag one article, and a column In body type Ithout display other than the beading, le last page might be one large or several lall display ads. [ would have the firm name in each of the splay ads and at the foot of the reading nose ads In body type, and the title and date the top of each page. The idea is to make e ad-look as much like a mlnlatue news- ^ per as possible. There should be a heavy ? fe around three sides of each page and a od margin between the rule and the body the ad. Copy should oi course be changed tb each Issue of the paper. rhe display ads should be set in a different pe from the other ads in the newspaper, d it would be well to have the oolumns tin about ten or eleven ems pica Instead of e standard measure if the paper is willing do so. L'be foregoing is a suggestion for a style ol that I have never seen used and 1 hope 11 be of benefit to some one. H. A. Holmes.

Although nearly approaching Its centennial anniversary, the South Carolina College shows none of the decrepitude of old age, but rather increasing signs of vigorous life. A new departure of great importance to the College and to the State has Just been inaugurated. For some years the College has had a department of pedagogy, for the train> ing of teachers; but last winter, for the : first time, the Legislature created a number of endowed normal scholarships, one for each county. It is the intention of the Trustees and Faculty to set these scholarships upon a high plane, and to seek thereby to qualify superior young men for positions of leadership and influence in our public schools. However largely women may be employed as teachers, the work of superintendence, direction and control must continue to be most largely in the hands of the men; and it is to supply these teachers of leadership and in, flue nee, in the community as well as in the schools, that the College will chiefly aim, through these scholarships. Hence, no young man under nineteen years or : age will be eligible, and preference will : be given to those applicants who have ; already taught with success for at least one year. i A special and technical course of study has been established, 09 a high yet practical plane; and it is intended 1 that this department shall be worthily 1 entitled to be called a "College for Teachers." All the work will be distinctively normal, and apart from the regular College classes. The Trustees and Faculty feel sure that in preparing a body of strong and well equipped men teachers the College will aid in supplying one of the most important needs of the State. They hope, also, that this work, in its success and its results, may meet with such public approval aa to lead hereafter to its still further enlargement. Circulars have been issued giving the details of regulations and course of study. ^ The present session, now 1 nearly ended, has been very encouraging. Not a ripple has disturbed the internal peace of the College. The new president has won golden opinions, and has more than maintained the confidence and affection gained in his long aervdce as professor.
