LET THE CHILD ALONE.
The Rev. Merle St. Croix Wright's Ads
i vice to Mothtrs on Disciplines'
I The Rev. Dr. Merle St. Croix Wright talked
I about parental discipline 10 the City Mothers'
I Club, yesterday afternoon at the Murray Hill
a | Hotel.
e ! "Give the children more active accompllshu
1 rneuts?danclnt, horseback riding, gymnasiy
urn worfc. swimming," he paid. "I think
<t that a child who associates closely with the
d noble horse cannot go lar wrong.
d "Praise, not biame, Is the great agent that
t, helps children to grow. For children are all
i- heroes and there in nothing they will not do
!- that you believe or expect them to do. I
s wouldn't break a child's will for anything,
il nor take the bloom from lie nature. There
e is nothing in the world like the real nature
o of h child. And parents sometimes attempt
n to break the will oi the child when they
- | themselves are out or temper and punish
r j without cause. Instead they should keep
it i their heads cool and tbelr reason calm If the
y J child needs punishment.
s "The punishment should fit the child, and
3 j not the crime. Study your child. If. may
be Imaginative. It may be sensitive. It m?y
r j do a mischievous thing Just for a change. In
d i tbat case bow can you punish It by any set of
e hard and fast rules. Always make tbe child
g understand jast why it is being punished.

r and whipped and rounded into soape among
e other children. They get Independence In
j this way, and that Is really the experience
t of the world. It seems to me you can't let a
child too much alone.
t "Freedom, companionship, fellowship, love
i- ?these are what children need. By trusting
- and believing In ihem you can bring about
I the things In them that you desire to see. It
e works like Christian Science. It seems to me
, that the lesson between parent and child Is
i one of reciprocity?that each grows through
I the other. And I believe that the children
have more rights apalnst the parents than
I th>- parents have against the children."

I Lose Two out of Three to Whitmire?
Catcher Painter joins the Team.
i Abbeville team lost to Whitmire on
> Wednesday through the fine twirling

t He held the local -sluggers to one lone
3 hit and no scores. This hit was se#
cured by Terrell Jones. Terrel opnnoo/1

bis arm was sore, pitched fine ball, al*
lowing only three hits and one run.
{ But 'hat run, although it was not
1 earned, was enough to beat him.
This game was one of the prettiest
that has ever been seen ou these
i grounds.
' Thursday's game went to Wbit.
mire by a score of 2 to 1. Horn pitchi
ed for Whitmire, and was hit freely,
* but kept the hits so effectually scatter.
etl that Abbeville was able to'score but
- once. Roy Jones pitched for Abbeville
and up to the ninth inning there
, was nothing doing in the run column.
) It looked like Abbeville's game but In
this inning with one man down, Wllf
liams got to first through an error,
) and Nest it got a scratch bit. Wessin'
ger, Whitmire's heaviest hitter hit to
right field and to all appearances was
thrown out at first, but the umpire
saw differently and the bases were full
with one down. Next batter up hit to
- Perrin on short who threw low to the
plate and two men scored.
Abbeville knocked the great Benton
; out of the box on Friday, and' Davis,
who replaced him, fared no better.
. Abbeville got 21 hits and 14 scores,
i Whitmire got 3 hits and no scores.
The game between Abbeville and
f Greenwood resulted in a tie, 4 to 4.
i Terrel Jones pitched his usual good i
game, but the ball was wet and he
was a trifle wild. He allowed but 2
* hits, while Abbeville got 5 oft'of Gra1
ham. The game was very excitiDj?
[ although loosely played. ' reenwood

Abbeville made the other three
in the niuth with two out by a hit by
. Jones, a hit {in the back) on McCarter
four stolen bases and an error. With
two men down, Terrell Jones at bat,
' and the score lied, the Greenwood
team left the grounds, it could not be i
ascertained for what reason.
Sampleless Salesman.
i There were half a dozen drummers
on the train and they were talking
about another drummer who traveled
1 in the same territory with themselves.
One of them said: "He's straight.
, He's a Christian. Whatever he tells
. you about an article you may know it
| is just so. He can go all over his ter.
ritory without a single sample, and
sell gooks to every man he calls on,
1 His words makes samples unnecessary.
All the others said, "That's so, J
; know it." And this was said of their
, successful competitor. They felt no
jealousy, they admired him?this
! Christian salesman, whose word made;
1 samples unnecessary.
i A man offered to lend another $500.
J "What security do you want?" asked
i the latter.
"I do not want any. Your personal
note is enough." The man back of
the word, back of the name, stood for
honesty and good faith. No additionj
al backing was desired.
A farmer met a man of another
> neighborhood and said to him; ''I
' have an extra span of mules this sear
y sou. They are five years old, are gen
tje, will work In single or double bar'
ness, and are without a blemish, I
want $300 for them, and they are well
, worth it. Come over some day and
look at them."
"No, I do not care to see them. I
have to buy a span and I'll take them.
Bring them to town next Monday and
I'll give you a chech for them. Just
consider them sold."
That is an i?. eal way to do business.
And there is a good deal of it in the
business world.
A trusted word is so much easier to
carry than a sample case. So do business
in tuch a way tljat after awhile
you can leave your samples at home.

LOWNDESVILLE.
LowocJesville, June 28th, 1900.
June sunshine and beiit are upon us, and
ebnde when coupled with a little are really
eDjoyable. The firtt ?re such great foes tc
Innate energy, that only necessity or compulsion,
causes q^e to give up tbe latter, and,
therefore there is but little stirring about
that can be avoided, and news Is very scarce.
It Is even too hot to try to make It.
Mr Jimmle Latimer Is at Hot Springs, Ark,
?been In that western city lor several days.
At a meeting Wednesday evening of the
trustees of the Lowndesvllle High school.
Mr. J. T. Pate, a graduate of tbe Citadel, and
who Is highly recommended as a teacher, was
eleoted principal, and he, bis assistants and
pupils will all be at tbelr post.
Master J. B.Franks of Philadelphia came
In Saturday morning for at least a part of a
summer's stay at tbe borne of bis grandfather,
Mr. T. Bnker.
Rev'R. W. Humphries and Mr. E. J. Huckabee
were called to Abbeville Saturday on
business.
Rev. and Mrs. O. M. Abney, the first in
charge ol tbe station of Yorkvllle, came in
Friday morning and are and will be quests ol
Dr. T. O KlrU patrlck and family for several
days. Tbe cbnrcb over which the first presides
generously gave to blm one month's vacation,
and he is utilizing it for tbe recovery
of wonted health and strength. He served
this charge faithfully and efficiently for two
years, up to tbe last ses ion of the S. C. Conference
In December, when he was transferred
to bis present field of labor, and tbe
many friends of tbe two were glad Indeed to
have tbem back among them even for a few
days.
Mr. H. H. Harris, of Anderson, is here and
has been for some davs as an assistant In Dr.
T. 0. Kirkpatrick'8 office.
Mr. and Mrs. John C. Baker, of Richmond,
Vtt.. came in Saturday and have since been
tb?? guests of Mr. T. Bafcer aDd fatn lly.
Even Id as email an area an this township a
rather singular weather aDd crop condition
has existed for several weeks. On a part ol
the township there has been so much rain
that the planters have not plowed more than
two or Ihree days In as many week*; while
In the other part of the township there bat
been only sbowerBor rain and the plows have
been running the most of the time. In the
first some of tbe planteis say that without
more favorable weather they cannot get rid
of tbe grass nntil Xrost kills it: in the other
parts while there Is still much grass, yet tbe
orons are doing nicely and looking well. It Is
safe to say that maob grass will go to seed, as
tbe averRge planter seems to tblDk and acts

70 BALES ON 60 ACRES
IS WHAT WADE DRAKE
RAISED LAST YEAR
Editor Daily Mail:
Dear Sir?The following correspondence
will explain itself. Kindly publish
it and very much oblige us.
Yours truly,

Mr. J. Wade Drake, Anderson, 8. C.
Dear Sir?We have heard that by a
liberal use of fertilizers, principally in
Bide dressing, you made seventy bales
of cotton on sixty acres of land last
year. We will appreciate it if you
will give us your method of preparation,
fertilization and cultivation
which resulted in this crop. We wish
to give the public the benefit of your
experience as we think It will be an
inducement to farmers to side dress
their crops;'
Thanking you in advance for the
favor of anearly reply, we are,
Yours truly,
Anderson Phos. & Oil Co.
Anderson Phosphate & O'.l Co., Anderson,
S. C.
Gentlemen?Answering your favor
of the 7th will say that atter preparing
the land well I put two hundred
pounds of fertilizer to the acre before
planting. At'the second plowing I
applied four hundred and fifty pounds
more of fertilizer to the acre and when
the first cotton blooms appeared I applied
seventy pounds of nitrate of soaa
to the acre. I did this on sixty acres
of land which I planted in cotton and
on the sixty acres I gathered sixtyeight
bales of cotton, axeraging 5}1
pounds to the bale. And then, when
i thought I bad gathered the crop after
Christmas, I picked enough cotton to
make 712 pounds of lint cotton so it
will be seen that altogether J made
more than seventy 500-pound bales of
cotton on the sixty acres,* I cultivated
this cotton as- I usually cultivate my
cctton except that it was feitilized better
than usual. A good part of this
fertilizer was Anderson Phosphate and
Oil company fertilizer, tbe balance was
other standard brands. I was never
able to see any difference in the cotton
fertilized by Anderson goods and the
other goods. Yours truly,
J. Wade Drake.

Mr. J. E. Stevenson,
Anderson, 8, C,
Pear Sir ; We have heard that you
side dressed some of, your corn last
year, We will be glad if you will give
us the result of this, and very much
oblige us.
Thanking you for the favor of an
early reply, we are
Yours truly,

Dear Sirs : I have your letter of
June 4th, and In reply will say that
my experience in side dressing corn
last year was as lollows : In one field
of about 15 acres which I planted in
corn I side dressed 10 acres and left
five acre9 not side-dressed. On the 10
acres which I side-dressed I made 35
bushels to the acre. On the five acres
not side-dresBed the yield was not over
10 bushels to the acre. It cost me
about to side dress the 10 acres;
about $3 per acre. It increased the
yipld at least 25 bushels of corn per
acre. I Intended Bide dressing the
whole 15 acres but ram came on and
uuiumueu DU uuui tup wiu
too far advanced before I could get to
it to side dress it. It will pay any one
haudsopiely to side dress corn.
Yours truly,
J. E. Stevenson.
You will see what side dressing has
done for Wade Drake aud Jim Stevenson.
It will pay you as well as it did
them if you will do the needful. Side
dressing will pay you better tban any
fertilizer you putin the ground, We
have some very superior goods for sale
for side dressing. See our agents.
