Edeefield Advertiser THUS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30,1897. Newberry College has thrown open its doors to women. The South Cai-olina College, Furman University, and Wofford had pre viously done the same thing. "The most profitable hog ever raised is one that never saw Christ mas," is the epigrammatic way in which a successful Georgia farmer has chrystalzied the truth. Col. Ellison S. Koitt of Newber ry has formerly announced him self for the United States Senate. Senator Mayfield of Barnwell and McLaurin are the only others that have declared their intention of standing for this high office. " Of all thoso who bad an idea of lunning for the United States Senator, Solicitor Eellinger was the best man in many respects; but unfortunately he has declined to make the race. In his absolute fearlessnesi in the discharge of duty, Mr. Bellinger was much like the lamented Earle and in such respect as well as intellectu ally he would have made a worthy successor to the dead Senator, whose like we shall not soon see again. The Greenville News speaking of good and available United States Senatorial timber has the following to say of Hon. Jno. C. Sheppard : "John C. Sheppard is a splendid man and talented." And the News might have added that, standing on the Chicago platform of "tariff for revenue" Mr. Sheppard would make a can didate to exactly fill the bill, as many Democrats, reformers among them, cannot abide McLaurin's "Tariff for protestion only," a camping outside of the Democrat ic camping ground, and in the low grounds of expediency that makes Democrats shudder.

A Sherman, Tex., Press dispatch says: Globe-trotting has become a popular pastime, but it remained for a citizen of Tampa, Fla., to institute "globe-trundling." People have traveled across the continent on bicycles, others have made the trip m ox wagons, and recently, ^ according to the newspapers men, have flitted through the atmosphere in airships, but the Florida man has soashed all records for novelty and originality . in transportation. Yesterday evening about dusk his queer vehicle made its appear ance at the home oi A. B. Rich ardson, a market gardener, living near She man. This peculiar means of transportation was none other than a wheelbarrow, propelled in the good old way, by a roan between the handles. The man between the handles in this case was a Mr. Harris, late of Tampa. The wheelbarrow con tained cooking utensils, a change of raiment and other articles necessary to a small degree of comfort, besides a couple of chil dren, a girl of eleven and a boy of seven. Harris secured lodging for the night with Richardson, and while there he said that he was on his way to Oregon and that he had left Tampa late in the winter of this year. The children trudge along with their father until their little legs grow weary, and they are then given a "lift" in the wheel barrow. Tnis queer company of immi grants went on their way this morn ing before photographs could be ob tained of them and their humble conveyance, but the mau who has the courage to cross the continent with his family in a wheelbarrow will certainly become well krown before ho reaches tho end of his long journey.

EDITOR : I noticed in last week's ADVERTISER that you had no cotton bloom to wear in the lappel of your coat. Enclosed you will find two red ones, could have gent seme last veek, I have count ed from 20 to 32 squares on some stalks. I finished laying by old corn on the 9th instant, will lay by some this week that was planted after oats. Will begin to lay by cotton next week and expect to finish by 4th July. Did not plant melons 'till late but now have them larger and very much heavier than your head. If you would like to emigrate to Choty please send in your names early and avoid the rush. Respectfully, KIP VAN WINKLE. Faifa, S. C., June 21, '97. Something for Wheat Baisers. By promise and request, I will, for the benefit of those who aie rot posted on handling wheat, say^ a few words in regard to some essntia; poinis that must be observed' I would have you to know that the writer is not a farber a'?d will not have anything to say in re gard to preparing ground, etc. First. If you want a wheat that will profit, you must not sow the white wheat, for the reason that the grai a is very soft ; therefore very easy to become musty. Floar from this wheat is also very soft, consequently not very strong. You must understand that will absorb the most water (or milk) is the .strongest and will make much the finest bread. This you can prove lo you own satisfact.ou. Some of you who read this may not think POjbutits absolutely impossible for the miller, however good he or his mill may be, to get by one-third the amount of flour from sixty pounds of white that he can from red wheat. This arises from the fact that the brau on the latter is so much tbimer and can be severed with lese difficulty. There are other reasons that might be given, but time and space will not' permit. Second. The farmer who suns his wheat is only robbiug nature of her sweetness. This is ono of the most unreasonable things to do. Sunning wheat is a mistake. Nature explains herself here more perfectly than ?any -miller could clo. .When you have worked hard to get a gcod seed wheat, one that you consider a full grain and w? ll matured, one that you have had shipped at a premium, one that no sun has ever touched siuce it was made; you sow this wheat, it does well, grows nicely and you consider it fine until you cut it and get bad flour. It is then that you pronounce the grain that you sowed "no good." Now, I may be a little too rigid here, or I may be wrong, but just take what I have said and compare it wiiii your for mer crop and see if there is much difference between my theory and your practice. You will say what must I do if my wheat is wet when : the thresher comes. Take my advice and don t let a thresher touch it while in a wet condition. It will pay you ?;o haul it ten miles if it is only ten bushels < you have to thresh. We want ali i of the wheat that we can gi ina, i but I had rather shut down than i to grind wheat that has been c threshed wet. Shock your wheat e )r stack it and if it? gets wet 1er ve i it. in the sheath until it is dry. We ? ire prepared now to handle several c ;hou6and bushels of wheat and ;an move from twelve to fourteen mndred bushels per day. So we >ffer to those who desire to do so, o bring the wheat from toe hresher and deposit it here, Jet is handle it for a week or sc, you :an then get your flour at your >wn convenience and we gauran ee to give you thirty-six pounds if good flour and twelve pounds ?f bran for one bushel of weighed vhe&t. This will take the respou iblity off of your hands and you ,re sure of your flour. There is one other thing that armers should watch when their I O rheat is being threshed, and that 3, not to allow the machine to ireak up the grin. A man who J", nclerstands his business will not Y renk wheat in threshing. Broken rains are very detrimental to the ritter. Cheat is much easier ealt with. When a grain is broken on may count it lost, for thero is 0 way to save it. There is no heat machina that w:ll separate u Dckrel and retain tho broken h rains. A small quantiy of cockrel ai ? not so bad in wheat, as it can V ll be sepaiated. Still it is irelessness in farmers to let V )ckrel grow, as it can easily be b* voided. Cut your wheat two or ki iree ddys before it is considered pe enough for seed and see if you ill not have a better yield. With ?st wishes for your future crops am, yours truly, L. R.

A school teacher tells the followr g tale with much gnsfo: "I was giving a geography lesson j China the other day, and mou rned its vast population-over 0,000,000. To present some idea what such a stupendous number iplied, I explained that if we flated what must be the so Si fil tri ev co sc efl be mi ur n;i re W( in sh Si Yt pa tic ad ha pa thi corresponding number of deaths among the Chinese, there must be at least two person* die every time we take a breath. The illustration somewhat startled the boys, and au involuntary gasp showed that it had been appreciated. During the morning I noticed a little fellow who appeared very uncomfortable. His face wae flushed with exertiou, and he was puffing and wheezing like an automatic steam eugine. "'What is the matter. Tommy?" I inquired, with alarm ; "what are you doing." "Killing Chinamen," he answer ed, laconically. "I don.t like them foreigners at all, and I'm a getting rid of just as many as I eau. JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever In One Day. ?I'll Bet I've Got 100 Nails In Me/' Kaus.'is City, Mo.. June 12-Five suigeons at the German Hospi.r.l this morning cut open the stomach of Harry Wallen, the "humaa ostrtcb, kui/es, screws and tacks, including the big Barlow knife, wnich caused the accused the acote attack of indigestion which made the oparation necessary. This is aa actual and complete inventory of the hardware, glass and cutlery taken from Whallen's stomach : One four-bladed knife, 3? inches long. One two-bladed Barlow knife, p. inches long. One knife blade, 3? inches long. One knife blade, 3 inehos long. Two knife blades, 3 inches loug Om knife blade, 1 inch long. Thirty-two lart,e 8 and 10 penny fence nails and spikes. Thirty-four G penny wire nails, sharp poiutcd. Twenty-six shingle nails, 1 inch long. Sixteen carpet tacks and small wire nails. One horseshoe nail. Three large screws. . One barbed wire staple. Three ounces of fine glass. As his calling would indicate, tho "humnn ostrich" is a man of nerve. He said he did not 'ear the operation. "I gilets I might as ?roll die ona way as anni her," was (bs philosophical way he renamed the multe1*. "You fellows will find that 1 am telling the truth, ' he remarked, when the dosto/e expressed some donbl as to his real ailments. "I'll make an even bot hat I've got 100 nails in me." His repu tation Jor veracity is fully established. Whalen's nerve never left him, evu when taken into the operating room and chloroformed. "Mate a good job of it, doctor: the stuff is tnere," he said, Wnaiieu's stomacn was opened perpendicular from near the apex ribs downward six inches. rl lie inner stomach was then opened horizontally, tho incision being about five incises long. Then the astonishing mass of metal and glass wa3 found embedded in the intestines. Nails and spikeu were taken out by the handful. With sach lot of broken glass, tacks and knife blades the surgeons became more astonished. The cavity where the articles ,vere found was carefully wash ed when the last of the re narkable contents had been .emoved. and the stomach ana utestiues sowed up, At the ?onclusion of the operation Whall ?a was weak and, of course, inconscions but the surgeons say lis condition is good/ and that his nance of recovery is excellent.

Did He Neg lect Wine? Pr?sident McKinley's trip to Asheville has drawn attention to one of the most picturesque regions in the world. Long before the war it was noted for its dry climate and bracing atmosphere, and since then newcomers have built a city on air. The streets imd the houses have their brick and mortar, but the real foundation of Asheville is an exhilarating, aerial champagne that stimulates to the point of intoxication. It is said that Major McKinley, having tasted this b3verage, neglected wine of the vintage of '43 and even the protection punch that Mr. McKissick brewed in his honor. Looking ont on that grand panorama and dunking in the ambrosi air that comes over the mountains, a man forgets the monotony of every day life aud loses himelf in a Nirvana of rest. A commonplace mortal becmes poetic and your country-cracker throws off his shuffling gaite and walks with grace. Hard by this Nirvana is the Garden of Eden, brought down o date by George W. Vanderbilt, The roads, which are perfect, wind through miles oi flowers that mingle their perfumes in indescribable bouquets. The wild flowers of this region and exotics from all ports of the world grow up together. The mountain ?aurel and the rhododendron grow side by side, and tho running honeysuckle is joined with rn HT plants in the sumo border. M ?iee of spruce a.id balsam line the roads, and all about the hills and elopes the indigenous and transplanied shrubs are intermingled so thai it is difficult to tell whore nature leaves off and art begins. Tiie absence of humidity from the air about Asheville rids the climate of the sultriness which is so oppressivo elsewhere. When other cities were sweltering under ti heat of 95 or 100 deur^'s, .th<j ?^u"fts at the Battery Park hotel wi re enjoying balmy breezes with a temperature of TS.
