Side Dress Your Crops. I
Tim farmers of Anderson county .
are going to do more top dressing 'H'
this year than they have ever done. ;:i
Top dressing or side dressing has 0
been on the increase in this comity J,',1
for the last few years and it has paid jv
so well that nearly every progressive v
farmer is going to do more or less of, s
it this year. We hear of one man:"
who put in very little fertilizer last ^
year before planting his crop. 11c!?
side dressed liberally and made 70 t
bales of cotton on (j<? acres of ground, j ?
That is the kind of farming that v
n u
pays. Farming is a poor business *
I t'
when you work two ami throe acres l
to make a bale of cotton but it is a {
very profitable business when you '
can make :i bale of cotton or more to <
the acre. We have about four thou- ,1
sand tons of handsome high grade J
ammoniated {foods suitable for ;>ide[1
dressing. It will take more than this L
for the farmers of Anderson county if V
they use it as liberally as they will f
find it profitable to do, and then, we <
are selling this fertilizer in Abbeville, i
Greenwood, Greenville, Pickens and J
Oconee counties. The farmers in *
these counties do not side dress to the i
extent that farmers in Anderson i
county side dress, but they are com- \
ing to it and will do more of it than *
ever this year as they are finding out >
that it is very profitable. When the J
fertilizer is putin the ground before \
tiirwrmi is nlnnted or even when it is
planted, the spring1 ruins conic along j
before the plant germinates and takes
root, and the fertilizer goes down in
the ground so fast that the root of the
plant cannot catch much of it; it has ,
too long a lead. When you wait un- '
til the cotton comes up and is thinned
to a stand and worked out and then ;
side dress it with first-class high 1
grade ammoniated goods such as we
manufacture, the roots of the plant
are just surrounded with food and 1
nourishment fur the plant. Every (
particle of the fertilizer used in the <
side dressing goes to the growing
crop; that is the object of fertilizing,
you want the growing crop to get the
fertilizer. You will see the effect of
this in the growing and in the gathering.
The man who side dresses liberally
is the man who is going to
have the brag crop ; you can put that
down. It may l>e that you cannot
side dress your whole crop but you !
can side dress a good part of it and
that will enable you to see whether
it pays or not. We are manufacturing
a specially handsome goods this }
year for side dressing which we call
"Vandiver's Side Dresser," analyz- <
ing 8-0-6 and we recommend it to ]
you with absolute confidence. We i
certainly would not put our name on
it if we did not feel that it would
prove satisfactory to all who use it.
It is the best grade of goods that has

try, it analyzes higher and we confidently
believe it will give better re- ,
suits than anything you have ever
tried in the way of ammoniated fertilizer.
It is the best goods because
it is made of the best material, the
best acid phosphate, the best blood,
tankage and garbage and the most of
v it to the ton. There is a great difference
in ammoniated goods. The ammoniates
are the expensive parts of
fertilizers. That is where fertilizers
are skimped when they are skimped,
but they are not all skimped. There
are otlier fertilizer manufacturers
who make very good goods, but we 1
are not advertising them at the present
writing. We are advertising our
own goods and there is nothing better
and mighty little as good. They are
all right because we put the ingref.
dients; blood, tankage, etc., in them
to make them all right. We will
have quite a lot of Nitrate of Soda
011 hand too, for side dressing, and
just in passing, will say that we understand
it pays as well to side dress
corn as it does any crop you grow.
The corn contest this year promises
to be very interesting. A great many
farmers will contest for the prizes.
The man who wins "will be a man
who fertilizes heavily. The corn that
wins will be acorn that has been side
dressed, and probably more than
once. You will not stand the ghost
of a chance of winning any of the
prizes unless you fertilize heavily and
side dress also.
I11 the old blue-back spelling book
which we ail thumbed in pursuit of
that knowledge which seems to have
eluded the most of us we find the
doctrine laid down that "the best is
the cheapest." If that doctrine applies
to spelling books, and we suppose
it does, at least we are not going
to stop to contest or discuss that question
now, we are selling fertilizer
now, not spelling books; if that doctrine
applies to spelling books it certainly
applies to fertilizers. If a
ftjJUlllIlg UUIJK lb HUilK 111 UtriliUll I
points and you find it out you can discard
it and get another. If your I
fertilizer turns out to be weak you *
will find that out all right enouirh *
and you will discard it and get an- 1
other, but the trouble is you have :
lost your crop and a year's "work and
every hand and mule on your place
has lost a year's work before you find
it out. The only thing you will carry
over from that year will be the *
year's debts. So, it will pay you to 1
get a good fertilizer at the start, one f
that is shown on analysis to be all '
that a fertilizer should be and in this '
connection we call your attention to .

The Wisest Mother Way.
In many a newspaper article we
oie expressions of sympathy for the
'Pale, sad faced mothers of our
nation, mothers overburdeued with
responsibility and care." Truly
?nougli , the wisest of mothers
realizes her God-given obligations
lu Iici lauiuji wujic uLiaiciuai IUVC
makes every possible sacrifice for
tlieir welfare. But after all, are not
the mothers of today in a great
measure responsible for the extravagant
ideas fostered by our
laughters? Yes, and the reckless, ;
unstable lives of our sons, also!
We do not believe "the hand that :
"ocks the cradle rules the world" ,
ilone, by any means. But it is the
mother's ideas of living that mould ,
he daughter's character for time
uid eternity.
Find me a care-worn mother?I
mean as a rule?a woman prematurey
old, and in tbat home I will find
rou daughters accomplished iu up-tolate
lore but with minds dwarfed
n regard to the vital elements of
rue living. There is but one thing
leedful iu this mother's estimation,
ind she has grown old over the
jerplexing problem of pushiug her
jhildren into the front rauk of
iociety.
And what of all the sham and
puff? Who is the happier for it?
Fbe thoughtful face of the father
-ays, "Not I," and the expresnion
jf anxiety marking the old-young
mother's features plainly shows the
mdercurrent of unrest. And what
jf the future of these girls? Not all
)f them will marry wealthy meo,
n spite of their mother's efforts.
We have met young wives reared
n such homes, and found it ban!
o believe that the haggard, careless
looking woman was once a society
jelle. But she had entered h?r
liushand's home ignorant of household
duties aud cares, frivolous and
. are-free. How could she assume such
responsibility, in such contrast to
ill her past life?
The breaking-in process must be?iu
early, or serious results will
follow. Not ti'l the motherhood of
America can be brought to see tbat
happiness for their daughters consists
in the realities rather than the
<h:uns of life will they be otherwise
than "care-worn, sad-faced
ind wrinkled."
A Senseless Habit.
The young lady that habitually U9es
ilang iu her conversation cannot have
x veiy exuiiru opinion 01 uerseii. me
jstimate placed upon her by those who
lear her ls certainly not a high one.
It sounds coarse and vulgar wheu used
by a mau, but when used by a woman
is tone is degrading and repulsive,
low often one heais a young lady
peak of children as "kids.'' That
ivord comes from the slang of English
hieves. Not exactly a proper word
or a lady's use is it? "Mash" is ar>ther
word in common use by young
adies of both high and low degree.
I'iie word originates in the immoral
elation sustained by a thief and his
liixtie-s. It is essentially foul, and
vhen issuing from the lips of intio:ence
and purity gives a starlling
hock. Even thieves, toughs, and
lisreputables, of either sex, who know *
he whole vocabulary of slang, seldom, j
f ever, u-e a single word ot it in the J
tresence of honest people. Slang, in
English, has but two sources?thieves
nd showmen; and any young person
vho imitates those classes, either in
onduct or converscation is plentifully
ndowed with a lack of senee.?Lees- '

SATISFACTORY DECREASING.
Whiskey Receipts at Anderson.
(From The Daily Mail.)
Practically no whiskey is received
in Anderson by freight. What is
received here is handled by the
express company. Immediately after
the dispensary was closed here there
were open salons in Augusta and
Atlanta and a great deal of whiskey
came from these places.
But when Georgia went dry the
whiskey shipments iu Andersen fell
off 41 per cent. This is the statement
made to us by Mr.L. R Whitlow,
the local agent of the Southern
Express company, and he msde the
statement only after careful examination
of his books.
\ir K ^ noAnlo
YV LlCli utuigia ncui ui j mv
had to order their whiskey from
North Carolina. When North Carolina
went dry, Mr. Whitlow says,
the whiskey shipments fell off 8 per
cent more. ""This is what Mr.
Whitlow's books show.
The whiskey is now coming from
Tennessee, but that state will go
dry in July, and then the people
will have to get their liquor somewhere
else. Mr. Whitlow says he
looks for a still futher decrease then,
as experience has shown that the
further away the source of supply, the
longer the time it takes to get it,
the less whiskey is bought by the
people.
Rome whiskey is still being shipped
into Anderson, but the amount is
steadily decreasing. Tbe bonks of
the express company show that 49
per cent less was received during the
first three months of 1909 than
during the corresponding period of
1907. That is doing pretty well,
isn't it?

6ood Morning.
A cheery "Good morning'' often
sends a ray of sunshine streaming I
through the innermost recesses of ai
household, resting there ull the livelong
day, and again follows hastening!
footsteps into the mart of business, j
ligliting up and brightening "the way
j of the world" as it goe9. A hearty
"Good night" often soothes many a
I troubled mind to rest, aud heals the
wounds which have either came anew
to a struggling soul, or been re-opened
by the harsh words or deeds that are
spoken or done in season, as the daily
batt le of our life progresses.
"Good morning" with a heartfull
! wish for blessings in the tone of its utI
terance, cheers the heart of faiut and
' fearful oues, and softens many a hard
spot that has place for inheritance or
, cultivation, iu the breast of humanity.
[The love-light, that beams from the
f vp wlicn one is crreeted bv such words
aa "Good night" lights many a weary
spirit to a chamber of rest and peac?
and to a laud of pleasant dreamt*.?

Lack of Courtesy.
Trifliug discourtesies of speech ami
manners constantly indulged do more
to destroy the peace of a household
than an occasional war of words which
lasts for a brief period and is then at an
end. Chief among the causes to create
a murky home atm< sphere is the habit,
of "nagging*' one another. Husband
and wives give expression to every
petty feeling of irritation, ar.d bandy
words back and forth till some molehill
assumes the proportions ofa mountain.
A tendency to.naggoes unchecked
among the children and almost and
before the parents are aware there is a
chronic condition of unpleasantness in
the home. Young married people, ?specially,
need to learn control id thin
direction. Another disagreeable trait
to be guarded against is the habit, peculiar
to some people, of always being
ou the opposite side of a question. Call
attentiou to the good points of a bunk,
a person, a public nuovement, a work
of art, or what not and this individual
is ever ready to interpose, "Ye*?but "
Conversation in such a home gives one
the chills.?Leesville News.
A Woman's WorkCould
anything be a belter illustration
of the way women do their work
as compared with the way ntum do
theirs, than to look over a village of
say, a thousond families on
Monday? In a thousand little
kitchens a thousand women would be
seen thrusting wood' into a thousand
little cook stoves, heating a thousand
little boilers, bending their backs over
o thnimonH little wnahhfmrris and hancr
ing their clothes on a thou&and
little clothes lines. If, by some
singular social revolution, the men of
such a village were to undertake to do
the work, their first step would be to
get up a stock company, invest capital
in building and machinery, to organize
the work for the whole town, receive
good salaries therefor, and the rest of
the men would go about their own business
on Monday just as on any other
day.?Leesviile, News, i
Meandering.
A city girl writes: "It's a fond
dream of mine to become a farmer's
; wife, and meander with him down
lifes flowery pathway." Ah, yej, that
is a nice thing to dream about, tut
wheD you have lived on the farm and
followed this meandering business for
a month or so, you will discovera wioe
chasm betwien the dream and the reality.
You will think of this about
the time your husband meanders off
and Jeaves ycu without wood, aud you
have to meander up and down the lane
pulling splinters off the fence with
which to cook dinner. And when
you meander around in the wet clover
in search of the cows, you will have a
dim perception that fond dreams do
not always pan out a hundred cents on
the dollar, and that there are several
meanderings in farm life not listed in
the dreaming cattgory. The meander

Sensitive People.
Sensitive people seem to eijoy sensitiveness.
They are alwayson thelook*
out for something to give them pain.
They are much like a cat would be with
a lale forty feet long, drnggiog around
on the floor ready to he tramped upon.
We are crowded pretty thick upon life's
great thoroughfare, and can't well
help elbowing each other as we pass
along. Ninety-nine times out of every
hundred no harm is intended, but
those sensitive people who have the
longest and sharpest elbows of anybody,
are always attributing a motive
to every accidental jog they get. The
fact is, personal importance is at the
bottom of this whole thing. The

Jules Siuvestvo was soon to marry Mile.
Ladounor, one of the most beautiful and
refined g'.rls in Lyons. One night at
cafe cbaniant ho rebuked Achilla Emaux,
a professional duelist, for Interrupting a
singer and publicly derided him aa a cad
and a revilor of ladies. A duel was instantly
arranged to take place next morning.
Mile. Ladouner was in the theater with
her uncle and witnessed the incident.
Jules, whom she loved with he? whole
heart and eoul, would be a corpse before
another day had passed! That waa the
one thought that filled her brain, and for
a time in her distress and agony she was
almost demented. But by degrees she
forced herself to be calm. At whatever
cost her lover must bo saved. Half an
hour before midnight, when her mother
had retired, she quietly stole out and made
her way as furtively as a thief to Emanz's
residenca
He bad not returned, and 6he was obliged
to wait. It was nearly 1 o'clock when
the bravo came In, humming a funeral
inarch, as was his custom on the eve of a
duel.
^ "Good evening, mademoiselle," he said
asshorose on his entrance. "This is an '
unexpected pleasure, though I regret to
say I do not recogDize you, and my man
did not catch your name. Pray be seated,
mademoiselle, and tell me what I can do
for you." '
Sho obeyed, and ho seated himself opposite
bor. She was trembling and quivering,
and her throat was so dry that she
could scarcely speak. But at the sight of
him sitting there, gay, careless and smiling.
and rot to be in a fe<* hours the
butchor of her beloved, a tempest of pagsion
shook her, aDd her tongue was loosed.
"Monsieur," sho cried, rising again,
"you are Infamous, a boast?nay. chat is .
an insult to the poor beasts! I loathe you!
You defile tbo earth 1 Pah! you 6mell
of blood! Even a beast is merciful at
times, but you?you?you"?
Eiuaux was utterly taken by surprise,
but he still preserved an unruffled front.
"Mademoiselle," ho said, "you are very
good to come at this hour to pay me compliments.
What have I done to deserve
them?"
"Done!" aha oried. "What are you
about to do, houndf Jules Souvestre la my
betrothed, and you insult and intend to
murder him. It shall not be, I say. See,
I will fight you in his stead. Get pistols,
And toa will Rtnnd on either side the room.
I have Insulted you. I insult you again.
You are viler than any living creature.
Come!" ,
A steely glitter came in his eyes, but h?
still smiled. \
"I am truly sorry for you, mademoiselle.
But that dog insulted me publicly, and?
well, we fight at dawn."
"Instilted you? He could not, monsieur.
But you shall fight me. Qet pistols at
once, if you are not a coward." ,
He still smiled.
"I do not fight women, mademoiselle?I
love them. I am truly sorry, but unless
you can persuade him to an apology as
public as the insult there is nothing more
to be said. It is late, mademoiselle. I
will see you out."
1 ''You shall fight me, ruffian 1" ' He
shook his head, with an amused
sinilo. "Mademoiselle's best weapon it
her tongue, and that fortunately does not
kUl."
She looked at him with terrified eyes.
"Do you mean to kill him, monsieur?"
"Yes," he said curtly.
She fell back into the chair with a
strangled cry, horror in her eyes. For a
moment she sat thus, then she flung herself
on her knees at his feet.
"Monsieur," she cried, "have pity,
Via-on nlt-.wl T Irnm him MnnfriflTTP. von
will kill both of us I Pity, pity 1" she
gasped.
"Rise, mademoiselle, I bog of yon," he
said. "You have just told me I have no
pity."
"Have you no heart, monsieur?" ahe
moaned.
"None when a man has publicly insulted
me. And," he went on In aoynioal
tone, "who knows but I may do mademoiselle
a favor. Men swear their vows
as lovers, but they soon forget them. I
may possibly save mademoiselle from
life of misery."
She flushed in momentary heat at that
"You do not know him," she cried.
"Bis love is as great as the Baa. Canyon
exhaust the sea? Has your heart netw
known love, monsieur?"
Ho frowned. It recalled a time ten
years before.
"Ah, I see it has!" she said quickly.
"By that love, monsieur, have pity. You
shall have my gratitude and prayers every
day. As long as I live I shall remember
rou and ask mercy for you, even as you
nad mercy on me."
He did not answer, but gazed on her
beautiful, pleading faoe. It was a girl a
little youngor than this ono and quite as
beautiful who had died ten years ago, ana
all good Influences bad died with her.
"You have overcome, mademoiselle," he
said. "He shall live for your sake."
"You will 6pare him?"
"So comforted, mademoiselle. I meant
to hill him, but he shall live. We shall
fight at dawn, but he shall not die. Come,
mademoiselle, it is time you were gone.
Shall I see you safely home?"
"No, no," she cried as he led her to the
door. "You will keep your oath, monsieur?you
will not forget?"
"No, mademoiselle, and you will not
forget your prayers?" he said, with a little
laugh. "If you are right, I need them.
Good night and fear nothing."
But she did fear. When she reached
home, it seemed to her almost impossible
to believe that a man with such a ruthless
reputation would forbear to kill the man
who had insulted him.
She went to bed, but she could not rest
and soon got up again and toward 5
o'clock stole toward the spot where the
duel would take place.
From behind a shrubbery, in what state
of mind may be Imagined, she saw both
parties arrive on the field, she saw the
formalities goae through, but she lost consciousness
for a minute when they stood
pistol in hand facing one another.
When she recovered and could raise her
eyes, the doctor was binding up the arm of
her lover. Emaux's bullet had inflicted a
superficial flesh wound, and Emaux was
apologizing to his friends. He had been
drinking too much wine, ho said.
Not till years afterward did Julea know
what his wife had done for him. Neve*
again was Emaux known to show a so In- j
tilla of pity In his terrible profession.
Nevertheless one woman prayed for him |
