?MU clarefield Advertiser THUS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 19,1897. i The Greeks are still at it, but their canse is hopeless. The Columbia State is agita ting for a "State Bleachery," not to bleach and whiten dispensary officials, but cotton goods only. The Greeks according to reports Monday had asked the Powers for intervention. They were about ready to accept any terms proposed No one can doubt but that there has been stealing in the dispensary in Columbia, the only question now is, how many have been at it and how much did they get? Gen. John B. Gordon will lec ture in Greenwood on the 24th May inst. We venture the predic tion that there will be no reference to blackjacks or hawks or owls in this lecture. Our County Pension Board met in the Court House on last Satur day and transacted, no doubt, much important business of which we are in entire ignorance. But it will transpire in due time, and tL i time for "drawiug" is near at hand. The State has lost the Agricul tural Hall case, which has been pending in th? United States court since Tillman's first adminis tration. The State will have to remove its dispensary business to other quarters aud pay rent for all these years. Some farmers may remember that in '66 tho cotton did not begin to come up until after the middle of May. The writer traveled to Chester and back the 9th and 10th of May that year and there was one lot on the road that was partially killed by a cold wind succeeded by frost May 10.-- Spar tan burg Herald. McKinley cannot stand the machine pressure. Several weeks ago, it was reported that he would not turn General Wade Hampton out of the railroad commission. General Longstreet returned to Gainesville last week and reprted that he would step into Hamptcn,s shoes before the first of June McKinley was forced to yield to his importunities. An enthusiastic mass meeting in the interest of Cuban patriot's was held in Washington, D. C., on laet Saturday, at which ex-Sen ator Butler, of South Carclin^rejid , a series of resolutipOT-wK?ch had be^n-^prepared-,- and they were unanimously adopted. They earn estly protested against the "barba ri?os and inhuman methods" of Spain in conducting the war in Cuba; declared that this govern ment should recognize the insur gents as belligerents, and that Cuba had demonstrated that it was her manifest destiny, like Mexico, that she should be free and inde pandent without the payment to Spain of an indemnity. Stephen R. Mallory has been > elected United States Senator from 1 Florida after a close and exciting ' ..ace. Mr. Mallory is a son of Stephen R. Mallory, who was Sec- ; rotary of the Navy to the Confed erate States, and is a free silver democrat. He was a member of the Fifty-second and Fifty-third congresses from the First Florida ? district. He lives in Pensacola, where he wes born in 1848. He entered the Confederate army in j Virginia in 1864 and lacer served as midshipman in the Confederate j navy. After the war he entered , Georgetown college, District of i Columbia, and after graduating taught school and studied law. In ! 1874 he returned to Pensacola and , since then has practiced law in . Florida and has also been inter- i ested actively in politics, serving i in both branches of the State leg- ; islature, besides the national bouse of representatives, where he was a leading member of the committee 1 on commerce. j1 BOUND COTTON BALES. The packing of round bales of cotton seems to be coming. The ' Manufacturer's Record says : ( "It is authoritatively informed (bat the American Cotton company < proposes to operate its cylindrical i compresses in co-operation with ' local planters and ginners through* j out the South. The plan of opera tions that has been decided upon . will enable planters and ginners < to avail themselves of the benefits of this invention on a liberal co operative basis, with a market for t their cotton assured. The com- . puny will begin at once the intro- j ductlon of round-bale compresses, i I In an interview in The Manu- ] facturers' Record Mr. Henry Hentz, 1 "president of the New York cotton ! exchange, ca*inly and accurately ? gages tho opposition to the new i >roco89, and frcm an independent | standpoint, supported by practical ixper.ence, he saya that "i* is ab-1 IOIU tel y certain that cotton packed n cylindrical bales under tho sys :em adopted by thia company will wing higher prices ali the world >ver than that packed in the pre vailing style." WEALTH IN CORNSTALKS. It appears from publications I that the cornstalk is about to be rescued from comparative in?til ity and converted into a valuable contributor to the general welfare. In New England and some other sections of the north, where small oom is raised, the stalks have always been used for fodder. But in most of the Western and all of the Southern states only the leaves are thus used, the stalks being | regarded as somewhat worse than useless, for they cumber the ground, Conmpared with the little yellow corn of the north, the great J p.ant that bears f at name in the west and south is like an oak tree beside a currant bush. But an enterprising resident of St. Louis, a Mr. Prater, has discovered by experiments of various kinds that there is great wealth in the despised and rejected stalks, even when denuded of their leaves or j blades. This enterprising man has established at Owensboro, Ky., a plant for the utilzation of this waste material. He asserts that the stripped stalk "can by, proper manipulations be made to yield a variety of valuable products for which a market has already been established." Among the expected cornstalk products he mentions celluloid, smokeless gunpowder, lacquer, cattle feed, roofing] material that will answer every purpose of papiermache. Green stalks, he says, are rich in glucose, j and will yield "a better quality and a fine sugar with less expense than can be made from the cane of Louisiana." Mr. Prater cheerfully predicts the early arrival of the lime when the stalks on every acre that has yielded a good crop of corn will be worth to the farmer $15 or more. That means hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr. Prater says of his enterprise at Owensboro that it will be so successful that mills for the manufacture of cornstalk products will be established all over the South, and that there will be ready sale for all cornstalks that can be found near railroad lines.-Peo ples Advocate. Prof. Barnard' s Air Ship; Nashville, Tenn., May 14.-Prof. Barnard attempted another voyage with his airship to-day, It soared ?float rapidly, and as Prof. Barnard vigorously worked the bicycle pedals of bis steering and propelling attachment the airship j turned around several times, but was d if ting with the wind. It j passed over the Centennial grounds, floated rapidly over the city at a high altitude in a northeasterly direction and passed out of sight. At about ;8:45 o'clock p. m. the machine landed near Madison,about twelve miles east of this city. "I now find that I oan manipulate the machine right or j left, even in a light, wind," said j Prof. Barnard. "This is certain : it can go directly against a wind of eight miles an hour with muscular power as at present arranged, but. by cutting across obliquely, I can make progress in the direction desired." Further trips with changes of ? apparatus, will be made. Try a Few Sunflowers. In planning to diversify crops this season, try a small patch of sunflowers. The value of the seed for poultry and farm stock has long been recognized, and of late years dairymen have siloed the entire plant and claim that it gives as apod results- as co :n treated in the same manner. The culture of I this crop is very simple. Prepare the ground as for corn and plant in drills, dropping a seed about] ?very four or five inches, in May. While any corn land will answer, the plants are gross feeders and the richer the soil, the more satisfactory the crop. Cultivate as corn, keeping the grovnd as free from weeds as possible. In the fall the time and method of I harvesting will depend upon whether the crop is wanted for j the seed alone or for the seed and i the fodder. Federal Chief Justices. Major U. R. Brooks, clerk of j :he States Supreme Court, has re ceived a present from R. I?. Bryan fe Co. which be highly appreciates. J it consists of portraits of all the 3hief Justices of tbd Federal Su preme Court, the name of each and ;he length of his service being | ?tated. These portraits were porapt y hung in Major Brook's office, vhice is a complete judicial x)rtrait gallery.-Columbia Re ;ord. Twelve Greeks passed through Abbeville on the Seaboard last Friday on their way to New York. From thero they will take steamer or their home couutry and join beir comrades in the war. The vhole Greek colony at Atlanta were it the depot to bid the twelve 5ood-bye. The Greeks in Charleston are offering their busi ness for sale at great sacrifice, K> as to be able to go home.

Camerer of Indiana informs us that some tubers of bis vineless sweet potatoes, sent to India, have proved quite successful. Evsn during the unusual drou'h which prevailed 'ast seasou, they ga.ei entire satisfaction and were I considered best for yielding quali tiies. We have looked over the records jf the cost of our court ju*t closed, [ncluluding witu'isses. jurors, I bailiffs, clerk's and sheriff's costs, < )tc, the court cost about $1186,00. : i'his may vary some, but very itUe. Running court is very ex- . pensive, especially to a uew coun- . ty.-Saluda Sentinel. Governor Taylor Will Resign. Nashville, Tenn., May 12-While Goveruor Taylor refuses to talk for publication concerning the reports thfc.t ho bas decided to resign in October, it ?is known that ho has so made up his mind aud that today he told aeveral gentlemen the reports were correct. Iiis almost certain that he will again go upon the lacture platform. There is one man at least who has made a success of poultry raising, and be is Isaac Wilbur, of Little Compton, R. I. He ships 130,000 eggs a year and haB 100 fowl houses on his place . The chickens are fed from a wagon which goes from bouse to house in the morning, and thc afternoon the eggs are collected. A few drops of household ammonia mixed with the water used for watering young tomato plants is very beneficial, but care should be taken not to u-e too much at a time. The cheaper way to obtain the same effect is to use nitrate of soda. HOW TO_FDIB OUT. Filia bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand for twenty-four hours; a sediment settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains Mnen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre quent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder, are ou : of order. WHAT TO r>0. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Koot, the great kidney remedy fuliiIls every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages, lt | corrects inability to hold urine and sca'ding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity uf 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, lt stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distress ing cases. .If you need a medicine you s li ui; ld have the best.
