In some portions of tbe State
cotton that was up has been so
seriously damaged by the late

plowed up and planted over.
"He who would complain of

Two thousand bales ot cotton

Newspaper men are blamed for a
lot of things they cannot help;
such as partioning visitors and
giving news about some folks and
leaving out others, etc. They simply
print the news they can find. An

know the names and residences of
your uncles, aunts and cousins,
even if he does see them get ofll
the train. Tell him about it, It'?
news that makes a newspaper, and
every man, woman and child in
the neighborhood could be

HICKS ON MAY.
A reactionory storm period is
en tral on the 1st and 2d of May,
nth moon in apogee aud new on
he 1st On and next to these look
or general storm conditions to
>ass easterwardiy over the country.
Ul should understand when we
lae the word "storm" W9 not always
r ea n to convey ideas that danger
8 to be apprehended. An ordinary
?ain, with higher temperature and
noderate depression of the barome
?r, meteorologically speaking we
?all a "storm." A very warra
?.ave is apt to attend the distur
bances the two of three days of
May ending in some rapid storms.
Much cooler nights will follow the
disturbances, being attended by
possible frosts in many parts be
tween the 3d and 6th.
A Mercury equinox is central on
the 7th, the same day as the regular
Vuloan storm period. There will
be marked tendency to cloudy, un
settled weather much of Mercury's
period, which runs from the 3d
to 12th,but the time of greatest and
heaviest storm probabilit?s will be
about Friday, the 7th, to Tuesday,
the 11th.
Abo: J the 13th begin? a reaction
ary period of change and storm
that will more than likely continue
over the full moon OD the 16th,
and into the Vulcan period
central on the 18th. There are
reasons to believe that storms of
much violence may appear between
the 14th and 21st. The moon is
at perigee on the 15th, full on the
19th, aud at extreme south decli
nation on the 17th, all of which
are favorable to a marked degree
for great atmospheric distur
bances.
On and about the 14th and 24th,
feactionary storm conditions will
appear with rain and bluster in
many sections. The month goes
out in a regular storm period with
the moon at "new'' on the 31st, be
ing the second new moon in May.
A very warm wave will be in
progress with storms moving form
westorc extremes as the month
goes out. But for the oppositions
of Saturn and Uranus in May, we
should expect a month of placid
ness.
Corn aud Its Culture iu the
South.
Of the 14 varieties of corn tested
at the Alabama station in 1896,
the largest yield was made by St
Charles, with 25 bu an acre, fol
lowed by Early Mastodon 23 bu,
aLd Blount Prolific 22 bu ( bulletin
75, J. F. Duggar). The spring
and early summer was exceedingly
dry and in this respect the season
was unusual, causing smaller
yield then common. Averaging
many tests of varieties made in
Southern States, the kinds giviug
the largest yields were as follows :
Cooke Prolific, Mosly Prolific,
Calhoun Red Cob, St Charles'
Mammoth White. Surprise and
Blount Prolific. In^ 1896,
Georgia. In this dry seaon the
yields were practically the same
whether the distance between
single plants in rows five feet
apart was throe or four feet
Kernels from the middle bf the
ear of dent varieties resulted in
a smaller yield than grains from
the buit and tip ends of the ear.
This resuit was confirmed by av
eraging the relati ve yields obtained
in 14 tests made at five experiment
stations.
On sandy branch bottom land
the yield of corn was three bushel
greater where 426 lbs an acre of
cottonseed was used than where
180 lbs cotton seed meal was
employed, the amount of nitrogen
an i.cre being the same in each
fertilizer. On the same kind of
land, which had borne two crops
of weeds, the loss where they were
burned instead of being plowed
under, was 2.8 bu of corn au acre.
The yield of grain was less when
the entire stalks were cut and cured
before pulling the ears and also
less when topping was practiced
than when the plants were not
disturbed ?before gathering. POL
ping was unprofitable and the
profit in harvesting the entire crop
was doubtful where no shredder
was available to prepare the stalks
for feeding when corn was valued
at 45c a bu and the stalks 25c
a 100 lbs. Stripping the blades or
pulling the fodder resulted in an
average loss of 2,9 bu an acre.
Only when fodder is high and corn
low can fodder pullirg be regarded
as profitable. Haymaking would
generally give better returns than
fodder pulling for the labor
employed. If, however, topping
is postponed rather later than the
usual time for pulling fodder, the
vield of the grain will not be re
duced.
The acidity of Upland Soils is
probably due to the removal of
?rops and the use of certain fer
lizers thatexbaust the lime and
>ther basic ingredients of the soil
leaving more of the acid than
vould be the case wero nature
illowed to take her course. An acid
condition of J the soil then results.
Some plants thrive best under such
londition, but clover, :hmothy
md beets are injured on such soil
Chere is no easy way of telling to
rhat extent soils are acid, but a
itrongly marked reddsning of blue
itmus paper, indicates acidity.
i dangerous degree of acidity, or
it least a fatal Jack of carbonate
.f lime, appears to exist in upland
.od naturally well-drained soils
>ud is not confined to muck and
?eat swamps and very wet lands,
s most American and many other
fritera seem < to assume. Such
ssumptiou is because the partial
ailure of certain crops upou these
ands has been attributed to other
easons. These are the conclusions
rrived at by the Rhode Island ex
priment station after several years
rork. The remedy seems to be
generous appliction of air-slaked
.me. The amount applied varies
rom 500 to 2000 lbs per acre, to be
roadcasted and harsowed in.
BLAINE'S MEMOSY.
NEVER FORGOT A FACE OR THE
NAME OF AN ACQUAINTANCE.
rhe Weddin? Notice He Wrote When
an Sdi tor - Som? Striking Incident?
Trat Wer? Related by Kz-Gorern??
Cnmbeek of Indiana.
Upon takiiig editorial charge of the
Eennebee Journal Mr. Blaine loon
familiarized himself with Maine poli
tics by studying the flies of The Jour
nal, and be studied them closely as fa?
back as 1825. By this means he soon
became the best posted man in tbe state
tm Maine politics, and he was looked
apon as authority. His able editorials
during the campaign bringing up po
litical matters of the past showed care?
hal research, and they were copied wide
ly. It was while editor of The Journal
that he was one day stopped on the
itreet by an old lady whom he had nev
er seen before and asked to write up the
Wedding of her daughter, which occur
red the night before.
Blaine had served his time lu con
gress and went to Maine to speak dur
ing his campaign, when at the close of
his speech he began shaking hands with
the masses crowded around him. An
old lady with wrinkled brow and whit
ened hair, bearing a babe in her anrjK,
approached and offered her hand.
"Why, how do you do?" said Mr.
Blaine. "Where's that daughter of
yours I wrote up that v adding notice
about?"
"Poor Lucy is dead, " said the old la
dy, and her eyes filled with tears.
"This is her child."
The man with the big, kind heart
reached over and kissed the little blue
eyed girl.
During the Greeley campaign in 1672
ex-Governor Cumback of Indiana spoke
with Mr. Blaine in Springfield, O. This
was early in the campaign. Just before
the election Mr. Cumback was sent up
in Blaine's state to make a speech. He
was told by the committee that he
would find Maine people very stiff and
inhospitable and quite different from
the western people. Mr. Cumback wai
surprised, however, at his enthusiastic
reception, there being large crowdi
everywhere, and he never had a more
enthusiastic meeting than at Augusta.
He told Blaine of the incident and hil
agreeable disappointment
"Oh," said the statesman, "they had
. man of unusual stuff to get them
stirred up! Such a man on a speech ai
you are would have a good reputation
anywhere."
"But what do you know about my
speech?" asked the governor.
"Didn't you speak with me over at
Springfield?" said Blaine in a way as a
reminder. Then be went ahead and told
Mr. Cnmback all about his speech, of
the crowd present and gave promptly
all the main points of the speech and
even named the parry with them. He
also remembered at what hotel they put
up and what day of the week it was.
Another instance of Blaine's great
memory is cited in the following story,
as told by Mr. Cumback:
During the Garfield campaign Mr.
Blaine spoke in Cern back's town. He
was entertained by Mr. Cumback and
driven over town.
"There's a sick man in that house
there that has been talking you up fot
president for four or five years, " said
the governor, "and he thinks there ii
no ono like Jim Blaine. "
"Me foir president?" said Blaine.
"Yes, you for president Do JOB
want to stop and go in to see him ?
They went in and remained a few
minutes. Blaine trotted the children en
his lap and talked freely with the sick
saan, whose name was David Kerr.
Blaine and the governor met at Gar
field's inauguration.
"How are ycu, Will?" asked Blaine.
And he asked all about the men he had
met in Cumback 's town several month?
before and called nearly all of them by
their first names. "Oh, yes," he said,
"how is Dave Kerr? Did he ever get
well? Poor fellow, he suffered terribly.
And those little children, how about
them?"
This may be considered a wonderful
feat of memory. I? was in October when
he met these people, and it was on thi
4th of March, nearly five months after*
ward, that he recalled his visit, re?
membering the name of every person
he wat introduced to on that day. Hi
had seen a million people since thal
time md had shaken hands with and
met thousands.
Mr. Cumback accompanied Mr.
Blaine on his speaking tour through In
diana during his campaign in 188*. Il
was ju4t ten days before election. Cum
back left him at Lafayette, saying thal
he wouldn't see him again until tai
inauguration.
"I don't know," said Blaine doubt
fully. . Tm afraid it won't be. "
He had an unusual, vacant faraway
look in his eyes, and he was very seri
ous. His words came slowly and hesi
tatingly. Mr. Cumback assured him
that there was no doubt, but Blain?
shook his head.
"I don't know," said he. "I've had 1
a sort cf feeling for the last week thal
I wouldn't be elected. I hope I will,
but the outcome is doubtful, and I feel
now as if it were very doubtful. But if J
am defeated I will go to work the nest
day on my book."
And he did. He began the second vol
ume of his "Twenty Tears of Con
gress" the next day af ter the election.
-Chicago Times-Herald. I ]
He Laid.
"Don't waste your time in clipping J
off the branches," said the woodman to
him son, "bat lay yonr ax at the root ol
the tree." And the yoong man went
out and laid hi? ax at the foot of the
tree, like a good and dutiful boy. and
then he went fishing. Truly there ii
nothing so beautiful as filial obedience.

Btraaga Tmlea An Told of Oar Ance?tor?
of WathlBSlon1? Tim?.
. We naturally have a very, exalted
opinion of the aristocracy of our conn
try and can scarcely be convinced that
the ladies of society in the early days of
independence conduc ted themselves IQ
any but the most dignified manner. In
deed some of their descendants would
feel highly elated to know that they in
any wise resemble their supposed court
ly ancestors. It is to be hoped that they
are not kin to the personages referred to
in the following complaint:
Oue of our early litateamen actually
complains that ' ' between tippee beaux
and fashionable be lie. i an honest fellow
will stand a good chance of being fleeced
by the politest tissue of mistakes con
ceivable. The gentleman will help him
self very casually to your hat if it ia
better than his, take up your umbrella j
with the moat absent air imaginable,
bear off your loose coat without once
perceiving his mistake and pick up your
gloves, 'they so much resemble his.' "
And now for the ladies' part in tail
proceeding:
' 'The lady will borrow your penknife,
very accidentally put your pocket hand
kerchief into her mu?' or playfully take'
your ring from your langer or breastpin
from your bosom, all as innocently as
though it was the very thing you called
upon her for, so that between ladies
and gentlemen you will stand a good
chance of being turned out, stripped oj
all your possessions, according to th?
newest rules of etiquette."-Philadel?

When urine stains 'inen it is posit

WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmers
Swamp Koot, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use o? liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and tne extraordi
nary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
