A Father Sees His Boy Drown in The Same Spot where Three Sens Were Drowned Before. Special to The Observer. | Wilmington, May 10. ? A few years ago Darkless Orron, of Brunswick county, lost three children by drowning within a few yards of Nurassa factory, four miles from Wilmington at. the mouth of a creek, which enters the river at that paint- He was in u boat with his children at the time of the accident and miraculously escaped himself. Today at about the same spot he and hia son, Darry, aged about lit years, were in a boat, which capsized and the young man was drowned. The father again barely escaped. Bolter for Enriching the Soil Than Pens. The Augusta Chronicle reports that Mr. II. M. Dibble, of Aiken, iS. C., is putting down 75 acres jthihj'ear to velvet beans. This ! is mostly for the emichmeut of the soil. Mr. Dibble does not belico that there is at haud any moans as productive for soil enrichment as the velvet btau. Ho broadcasts the beans, one bushel to the acre. It may be, however, that by careful planting, possibly I as good a result can be had at a I considerable lessening of seed cost. Mr. Dibble, however, likes the velvet beans fully as well us eurod hay as a soil en richer. Last year he made some experiments with velvet beans and cowpeas. He planted them contiguously ami intended to put in oOO pounds in fertilizers. By mistake 1,000 got vcr on the cowpoas side and only 500 on the velvat beans, yet notwithstanding this, he said that the result showed that his velvet beans, acre for acre, made twice as much bay as did his cowpeas. He cut these in August. Of course ..y allowing mem to remain longer, bo might have made more hay, hut probably the hay would not have been as good. Mr. Dibble had trouble with [cutting hie velvet beans, as docs every one olse. He dually found the attaching of a cutting blado to the end of a mowing bar, an easy Method. His experience, which 1* the experience of others, is that eattle at first are not fond of the hay, but they soon leara to eat it and become greedy over it. Ho is feeding today, aa hay, hi*# last year's velvet bean crop. To (,'iirr A f\ lit in One at/. Take Laxative Broino Quinine Tablets. All druggists refnnd money if it faiL t?? cure. E. VV.
