Profitable Cotton Raising. ,The statement is often made that cotton can not be profitably, raised at the present prices. This1 may be so with the majority of farmers,'but there are some who make money at it. Among them is Z Frank Foster, .In conversa tion a few days ago Mr? Foster gave an illustration of how he makes cotton raising pay. On one part of his farm he planted six acres in cotton. Ee put on the land fifty one horse loads of sta rtle manure and six sacks of guano. : He has sold six bales of cotton from it from which ho realized $204. He has picked out 1,100 pounds and is sure of getting at least three more blaes, making at least'nine bales. From the cotton, at the present prices, he will real ize $304; from the seed $38; total $342. : Here is what it cost ?im to make nine bales : . Fifty loads of manure, including cost of hauling $ 4150 Six sacks of guano. ll 15 Hoeing. 45 00 Plowing. 5 00, Preparing ground. 8 00 Picking. 40 95 Seed. - 100 ToUl cost. $143 70 Profit $119.30, or $36.55 an acre. -Greenville News. Poultry. Half starved hens never lay in winter. Exercise is better than drugs for eggs. Lessen the ex pense as much as possible. Do not feed grain as an exclusive diet. Keep the laying hens from getting to fat. Lime is a good material to sprinkle in the dust-bath. , A supply of cabbage and turnips are for winter. 7 should bo so gentle that you ^atch one anywhere.

New ' York e^mocratic news papers say an immense corruption j fund is to be used by the Republi cans in New York and that $250, 000-the first instalment-is in the hands of local managers. The World has captured and published aletter from Chairman Hackett to a county chairman enclosing $300 to be used "in registering voters," there being but 1,000 republican voters in the county. Robert M. McLane, who was United States minister to Franco under President'Cleveland, said recently. "I feel absolutely certain j that Mr. Cleveland will be elected. I He is the people's candidate, and . every day I see proofs of where he | ?s'stronger than he was either in .1884 or 1888. The way that Mr. j Cleveland's nomination was brought about makes me believe) that his election is certain." . Bourke Cockran said at Albany of Mr. Cleveland : "The people of this country believe that he typifies f to-day the highest form of develop ment which American citizenship! has reached, because in all his life and all his career there is not a single act which needs explanation and though enemies may criticise him, the whole people admire and respect him. Speaker Crisp has been speak ing in the Northwest, and expres ses himself as greatly pleased with the outlook for Democratic success in that quarter. He also says that the People's party will not amount to anything in the South. Their overwheling defeat in Georgia has killed any chances they may- have had of carrying Alabama and North Carolins. In A recent public speech Senator Ingalls said : "I would a great deal rather have negro domi nation in the south than the ad ministration that prevails at the present time." Now and then some fellow, more honest then politic, will speak out the true sentiments of the Republican party. Albion W. Tourgee in a lecture recently denounced Christopher Columbus for all tb at was low and mean, but we do not suppose Columbus is much disturbed by the ravings of this biggoted egotist. To relieve headache, correct disorders of the stomach and in crease the apyetite, aud for the cure of liver complaint, use Ayer's Cathartic Pills. They are perfectly safe to take, and * invariably promote a healthy action of the .digestive and assimilative organs. Select ont the largest and best grained wheat for seed. Not only will the larger grains sprout soonest but they will send up the most thrifty and vigorous plants. The kind and condition of the soil should largely determine the depth of planting. Don't buy machinery because, it is valuable unless you have a a paying use for it. Ladies, don't be imposed on with shoddy shoes. Buy Jas. M. Cobb's celebrated $1.50 and $2.00 Kid Boots and you will never use any other. 1 car Va. Salt, 65c per sack, at E. J. NORRIS'S. . 50 kegs Nails, Full stock Canned Goods', all kinds, at E. J.
