Uoless the fall is ] very dry even thin land will make a j fair growth of vine. When the soil , is devoid of humus it is better not to take the vines from the ground. The , vines contain one-third of the plant food; the stubble and roots, twothirds. All land that bakes and hardens after a rain is poor in humus, i The peavines will greatly benefit such land. For a small grain crop a good heavy pea stubble is worth $2 to $4 ! an acre. Never turn under peavines in the fall. Let them remain on the top of the ground. The same thing may be said as to the rag weed. We [ saw a fine crop of this weed on clay land several years ago. Toe owner turned a portion of it with a twohorse plow in September. The other part was not plowed till spring. The portion turned was _ .rd and unmanageable, while the other part broke lud pulverized beautifully. If you put small grain where there are plenty of peavines prepare your land so that they will be on top after the grain is 3owed. They form a mulch and protect the plants from frost. All persons who have tried peavines are well pleased with the increase of crops thac follow, whether com, cotton or small grain. If you wish to follow peavines with corn or cotton let them remain on tcp of the ground till ^nrinur. It is much better than turn i O ?- ? ing them uader in the fall. ?

Latest newe from the scene of war in the Far East is as follown: St. Petersburg, Aug. 3 ?The first Russian report of the storming pperations at Port Arthur has just been received from the consul of Russia at Chefoo, dated today. It 3ays a general attack began Saturday with the Japanese in immense force There were two days of a bombardment of unprecedented violence. The Japanese, at the time of sending t,his dispatch, the consul adds, had everywhere been repulsed with great loss. The Japanese casualties possioly reached 20,000, but the Russian .osses were insignificant. The consul further reports that :he Russians have an abundance of immunition. The telegram does not mention naval operations. The Russians-UDite in declaring ;bat the fortress will never fall but ;hey expect that scarcely a building svill be left in the city where now ihere is scarcely a whole pane of glass. Both the Japanese and Russian leets are reported to be in excellent jondition. A dispatch from Tokio announces >bat the Japanese armoured cruiser Hasuga, formerly the Argentine war ship Rivadavia, has been sunk, .me moouncement caused a great sensation. Democrats and the Trusts. We suggest that the rebuff which ;he money changers gave the accredted agent of the Republican national ;ommittee speaks louder than words ;or the sincerity of Mr. Roosevelt's jpposition to the illegal trust inter381s. Should this idea become fixed n the public mind the attitude of the atreet would doubtless be neutralized. To put it a little d ff^rently, can the democracy hope to strengthen its position by causing it to be proclaimed from the house tops that the irusts have refused to contribute to the Republican campaign fund, the ivhile admitting with equal candor that the Damocratic committee expects to receive encouragement from trust sources through the instrumentality of the Hills and the Belmonts. __ A Wide Spread Demand. There is a widespread demand in this country for Government aid in the movement to improve the public roads, and it would not surprise the slose observer to see Congress meet the popular clamor and give it the ?lad hand, with perhaps a reasonable appropriation besides. There is no reason why the Government should withhold aid from the good roade movement. So long as the public money is spent on rivers, harbors, canals and other avenues of com merce, why should it Dot be likewise spent on the public roads, or at least the roads designated and used as postal road*? The Texas Democrats have nominated a South Carolinian for Governor. ill ??s??A?y1 eg tag Beet Couph Syrup. Tastes Good. Use IM I _ 2?ore Laoor Needed. ! Anderson Intelligencer. I The steady increase in the price of raw cjtton during the last two years is due primarily to the fact that the demand has been outrunning the supply, and the shortage o? labor in the South. To increase the area of cultivation more laborers and small growers are needed and the great need of the South is a larger share of the current of immigration now flowing so freely to our shores. Since a very large proportion of this immigration is from southern Europe there seems to be no reason why a share of it cannot be diverted to our Southern States. Col. E J. Watson, tbe State Immigration Uommissioner, is doing his best to bring some of these immigrants to South Carolina and his efforts are going 10 meet with success. Summing Up. 1 The lawyer who loseth his temper in cross examining a quick witte'3 witness diggeth a pit for himself. In the Federal conrt recently was tried the case of Oberg versus the Northern Pacific Railroad company. Oberg sued the railroad for damages for idjuiries received by him in the Eik excursion disaster last year. The testimony on both sides was almost altogether of the expert medical order, and Dr. Andrew J. Smith was beiDg cross examined by J. M. Long, counsel for Oberg. The doctor intimated that Oberg was not so very badly hurt, and quite a verbal tilt resulted between counsel and witness. 1:__ 3 a. ~ir me reauy replies auu iuo oeu-puasession of the medical mail nettled the lawyer, and finally, losiDg his temper^ he said, with a sneer: "Dr. Smith, its perfectly clear that you know just about as much about medicine as?er?as I do." Back came the doctor, with the utmost suavity: ' Yes, and just about as much about law as?er?you do." ISkould be Investigated. An Exchange. A. P. Prioleau, the colored contestant for Congressman Legare's seat in CoDgress, has written a letter to the News and Courier, in which he intimates that the colored people who flocked to Eutawville to the number of about one thousand on the day the inquest was held on the body of KiL Bookhard, the brutally murdered negro boy, repaired to that place by a pre-arranged plan for a desperate purpose. "Tn one ducting his investigation of n - ci the lynching fcffxir Gov. Hey ward ought to instruct bis detectives to tied out by whose direction and advice the negroes went to Eatawville with hostile intent, and we would suggest that Prioleau himself ought to be the first witness called when this investigation begins. If be advised such a gathering of the colored people at Eutawville for the purpose which he suggests the officers of the law would certainly be justified fn holding him to accountability for his mischievous counsel." That mischievous counsel will no doubt have its effjct, and if the murderers of Kitt Bookhard are ever arrested and brought to trial it will doubtless be remembered by the jury, even though they are sworn to find a n<?.r?nrrlm?r to the 'aw and evi dence. The murderers ought to be punished, but we very seriously doubt whether they will be under the t circumstances.
