Interesting To Farmers. By request, we publish the fol following law in regard to the fresh meats in incorporated towns, by which it will be seen that a coun tryman can sell any kind of fresh meats, in any quantity, provid ed that the animal slaughtered was raised by himself. At least this is the interpretation that one of the leading lawyers of Spartanburg places upon the act : "Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, That from and after the approval of this act, no city or town council shall charge any citizen or citizens of this state license fees foi the right to sell or offer for sale beef, pork, muttoD, fish, poultry or veal produced or grown by the vender, excepting regular butchers, who may keep a regular butcher's stall or market house inside the incorporate limits of any city or town in which license may be required. "Section 2. Such license does not give the holder thereof a monopoly of the sale of such WINNIE DA" I Daughter of 1 aey Died al sett Pier 1 After a ing II Narraganseit Pier, R. I., Sept. ?8.-Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, died at noon today at the Rockingham hotel, to which place she came as a guest in early part of the Pier's social season. She had been ill for several weeks, and a fortnight ago her ailment was diagnosed as malarial gastritis. At times her condition became serious, so that consultations of physicians were deemed necessary, but frequent railies gave renewed hope that she would ultimately recover. During this week, especially, was her condition considered favorable, and it was thought that her removal from the hotel would be possible in a few days, as the hotel had closed for the season, leaving the patient and attendants practically alone in the house. La?t night, however, a relapse in Miss Davis' condition was noticed, and throughout the night she lost strength perceptibly. This morning the physician said that the end was not far off, and at noon death came to end the suffering, which, at times, had been intense. Mrs. Davis had watched unremittingly at her daughter's bedside, and she is now bowed with sorrow. Mre. Davis is holding up with great calmness in ber affliction,, and no fears are at present entertained of her health yielding to the strain. Atlanta, Sept. 18.-Miss Winnie Davis appeared in public for the last time, it is believed, in this city, July 21. ' The occasion was the parade of ex-Confederates, who held their annual reunion this year in Atlanta.

The value of peavine hay is recognized everywhere, but the difficulty heretofore encountered in curing it has somewhat limited the prodnction. One of the finest farmers in t}ie State is Capt I R Self, of this count;, who has demonstrated the fact thai peavine hay can be har vested and cured with less trouble than any other. His sacess in curing it bab become known and he is constantly in receipt of in quiries as to his method. For the benefit of his brother farmers, VIS S NO MORE. bhe Confeder j Narrag'an festerday Linger Lness. a guest of honor, and occupied a carriage with MrH. Stonewall Jackson and Miss Caro Lewis Gordon, a daughter of General Gordon. The procession started under an auspicious sky, but before proceed ing far a heavy ?torm came up and the rain, which fell in torrents, drenched the occupants of- the carriages in line before the tops could be placed. Winnie Davis, the "Daughter of the Confederacy," was born in the Confederate executive mansion at Richmond, in 1863. She waB educated principally at home, owing to the trouble surrounding her father and the publicity which attended all movements of the Davis family. Miss Davis attained her maturity at Beauvoir, Miss. Here she assisted her mothor in various ways and took her place in the many social functions of the place. She was her father's constant companion. She assisted him in all his work, and much Of the information which was requir by Mr. Davis in his writings was secured for him by his daughter. Her strong character was marked from youth. She was engaged to Mr. Wilkerson, of Sy racuse N. Y., but shortly after her father's death, the engagement was broken off. While no public ex planation of tho rupture was given out, it is well known that it was for the. purpose of maintaining her father's name. She received the name, "Daugh ter of the Confederacy," in 1886, when her father made his famous trip through the " south. Mr. Davis being unable to appear, Miss Winnie Alas brought before the thousands at the different points along the route and in troduced as the "Daughter of the Confederacy."

Two years ago he tried the method as an experiment. He mowed the vines in the morning and let them lie until the afternoon of next day, when, if no rain had fallen, he raked the hay into cocks, The next morning, as soon as the dew had dried off, he hauled the cocks to his barn lot and packed the vines into rail pens ten feet square, having a heavy man to tramp them in, putting seven two horse loads to a pen. On the third morning after the vines had been packed into the pens, smoke was seen issuing from every crevice and the vines were found so hot one cjuld scarcely bear his hand on them. The smoke or steam, continued to issue from the pen3 until the fifth morning after they were packed, then it ceased altogether. Captain Self naturally concluded that his experiment was a failure, but when he opened the pens in the winter he fouud the . hay beautifully cured. It was nice, bright, sweet and absolutely free from mustiness and not a leaf fell from the vine. Last year he used the same method, with the same result. . Captain Self says the vines should be so tightly packed around the edges as to exclude the air and | the vines should be weighted down and tho pens well covered. His! plan is to lay rails across the topi of the pen and top this off with straw.-Lincoln Journal. "Get out of here and let me alone!" cried Sal Smith, to her lover Jake Jones, who sat about ten feet from her pulling dirt from the chimney jam. "I airf t touching on you, Sal I" responded Jake.. ''No! nor you don't mean to nuther, do you?" "No,I don't!" "'Cause you'r too trarnel scary, you long-legged, slab sided, j pigeon toed, gangle-kneed owl. you git along home with you now." "Sal ! now if you don't let me stay and court you, my dad will sue your dad for that cow he sold him the other day, for by jingoeB he said he'd do it." "Well, Jake, if you want to stay I and court me you'd better do it as | a white mau does that thing-not Bit off there as thought I was pizen, you stupid fool. Do you 'spose a wcman is only made to look at?" "Well," said Jake after drawing a long breath, "if I must, I must, for I love you, Sal." So he commenced sliding up to I herlik9 a maple poker going to-! battle, gently laying his arm? around Sal's shoulders. We heard Sal say, "That's the,way to do it,, old horse; that's acting like a white man ort to." "Well," said Jake, "if this ain't better than any apple sauce marm ever made .by a darn sigL^. Crackeo crackey ! ! Buckwheat cakes and 'lasses ain't nowhere 'longside of you, Sal. Oh, how I love you." Here their lips come together and the report which followed wae like a horse pulling his hoof out of the mire, and on the following Sunday they were married.
