Added to all this Farming That Pays. Wheat, $450 ; oats, $126 ; straw, $126 ; hay, $260 ; sorghum, $140 ; cant; seed, $76 ; total, $1,105. That is the value of the side crops raised by Mr. W. S. Wilkerson, of Hickory Grove, this year, with three plows. Mr. Wilkerson is otic of the largest land owners in Western York and has a number of renters. Ile runs only three plows himself, how ever, ?md the figures quoted represent what he has realized without count ing his cotton or corn. Air. Wilkerson plants both cotton and corn, ol' course. With the same three plows he cultivated about -5 acres of oneil, and thc prospects are as good as are thoso of any of his neighbors. lint everybody raises cotton and Corn, and it is the show ing of these, side crops that is espe cially interesting. In a talk with the reporter, Wed nesday, Mr. Wilkerson gave tho ligures as estimates only. The esti mates may be taken as very nearly correct. They are rathol' under than liver ; but, if there, is any dispute Mr. Wilkerson has the exact ligures at home by which the matter may be settled definitely." In the opinion of Mr. Wilkerson $260 will cover the entire expense of making the crops mentioned, and he thinks he can fairly Hay that they represent a clear profit of nearly {?1,000. While he was talking he tobi of a cropper who cut $12.60 worth of crab grass hay-sold tho hayal that-off a stubble field. The wheat hail been fertilized liberally, and il was the fertilizer that caused the grass to grow H? luxuriantly. The grass sold for enough to pay for tho fertilizer that had been used on thc wheat. That portion of the wheat field that hail not been ferti lized yielded no crab grass that was worth cutting. "Speaking of hay, though," said Mr. Wilkerson, "I can give you an experience that ought to be inter esting. Last fall Mr. II. \V. Thom son and myself went shares on some wheat and oats, on means grass land. Wc sowed 20 acres-10 acres in wheat in November anil 10 acres in oats in February. The means grass grOW up with the wheat and oats and when the grain reached the milk stage we cut the grain, grass and all for hay. At the first cutting we got three-fourths of a ton to the acre, worth $t0 a ton, and at the second cutting of grass alone we got half a ton to the ?tere, worth $12 a ton. h rom the two cut tings we got hay to the value of $1S per acre, and there is still another cutting, though, of courso, it will not be of as good quality as either of the first two."-York ville Enquirer, On Guard TML?2 The warningcough gdrfsSBBfet ls the faithful se nt i - / ff*?^Pslfik somption, which has ?

Senator McLaurin on Bryan. WASHINGTON, D. C., October 10. Senator John L. McLaurin, of South Carolina, Was among the distinguish ed Southern people in Washington this week, lie came to Washington for tho purpose of looking after some matters of importance to his constit uents pending before the Executive 1 apartment. Thc Senator is pleased with the political outlook, and although he did not go into any extended discus sion on political topics while in the city, he expressed his belief that Gol; Bryan would be elected President. The South, he says, of course, will be practically solid for thc Demo cratic ticket, and he believes that the Democratic gains in thc Congres sional elections will be sullicient to give the Democratic party a good working majority in tho coming Con gress. Senator McLaurin says that but little political discussion is heard in South Carolina since the close of the Democratic primaries. The Stale being sure for lilyan and Stevenson by a very large majority he says the people of the Stale are turning their attention to business. Thc State, he says, is in a very prosperous condi tion and the outlook for the cotton crop is very good. As is well known, the South Caro lina Senator is not in complet? har mony with the Philippine plank of the Democratic platform, being an advocate in the Senate of the for eign policy of the present adminis tration. Nevertheless thc Senator is a linn believer in Bryan and is earnestly working for the latter's election to the Presidency. Thc Senator, il is understood, will return to South Carolina from Wash ington. CURES WHIKE All ElSl FAILS. M lli'H COHKII Syrup. TaMo? doini, tino W In Hum. Sold by drimulxU. KH CONSUMPTION f> United States Pensioners. No pensioner in the Revolutionary war survives. The last one died in 1800, at tho age of 100, but last year there were, and doubtless slill are, four Revolutionary widows on the pension rolls, none of them older than 80. Pensioners' widows make little of the lapse of centuries. Judg ing by precedent it is not improbable that 160 years from now lhere will slill be widows drawing pensions on account of the service of their hus bands in our late war willi Spain. Only one pensioner who served in the war of 1812 is loft. His name is Mirani Cronk., lie is loo years old and lives in Oneida county, New York. About 2,000 widows of 1812 are left one the rolls* The pension ers of the civil war hold out very well indeed. Kvery year on June 30 they are counted. In Jurie, 1898, the number on the lists were 008,7 l-l. Last year there were about 2,000 less, and this year also there are fewer than in 1808, but the commis sioner says that in 1001 the list will beat the record, because an Act ol' Congress, passed last May, has ex tended the provisions ol' tllO law of 1800, so as to let in many thousands of new claimants. About one-quar ter of all the pensions go to widows -Harper's Weekly. A Ducal Gift. DUIIHAM, \\ C., October 5. - lt was an nounced by President Kilgo at a mass meeting in Craven Memorial Mall this evening that Mr. Washington Duke, of Durham, has given another hundred thousand dollars to the endowment of Trinity College. Mr. D' KC'S gifts to Trinity College within this, decade now amount to half a million dollars, and the gifts of the Duke family during this time amount to more than $000,000. This does not in clude the amount given by Mr. .1. II. Duke, of New York, for a library build ing to be erected during the year. Mr. Washington Duke has made larger gifts to Southern educational institutions than any other nativo Southerner in tho Southeastern states.

Nicw Yonu, October 9.-A com pleto list of Protestant missionaries believed to have boen killed from tho beginning of tho Boxor movement to September ?r> lias been received by tho American Bible Society from tho Hov. John lt. Ilykos, D. D., its agent in Shanghai. The ?Ht contains tho names of 178 people, very few il" any of whom will escape. Of these 0(3 aro men, 73 women (41 married and 32 singlo) and 39 ehildien. In tho above total there are tho following Americans: Twenty-five men, 24 women (lo married and 8 Bingie) and 20 children; total 09 Americans. Total killed, about whose death there cannot bc any question : Eleven men, 0 married women, 13 ningle women, 13 children; total 43. Of those killed thu following were Americans: Three men, 1 married woman, 0 single women, 3 children ; total, 13. Of these in Tai Yuen Ku, who were unquestionably massacred, July 9, were 10 men, 9 married women, I singlo women, 7 children ; total 3U, all British. There are still some missionaries ill tho provinces of Kansuh and Kwniobow, who have not been heard from for some time, but there is good reason to hope that they will get to places of safety. Our Great Postoffico. One of the most striking evidences of the rapid growth of the country is to be found in tho annual report uf the Postmaster General. It shows that the receipts of thc department for the (iscal year ended lune 80 last, wore nearly $102,500, D00. For the preceding fiscal year the receipts were $90,000,000 in round numbers. The fiscal year ended June 80, 1900, was the first one in which our postal receipts passed the $100,000,000 mark. The ievenue of the department bas prac tically doubled in 12 years. Tho postal receipts of no other nation have increased anything like so fast ind no other nation makes anything like so large a use of the mails as do we. The increased efficiency of tho postal service is one of thc reasons for the great growth of its receipts. Thc people rely more and more upon the mails for business and social uses. Although vasily more money ?8 expended on the postal service the 3XCC88 of expenditures over receipts s less now than it was ten years Ago. Receipts would exceed expenses wry largely wore it not for the great loss entailed by handling at second ..lass rates an immense amount of matter which should not be so classi fied. Sovcral attempts have been made Lo exclude this sort of stuff from second class rating and it is hoped ;hal something like the Loud bill ivill bo passed by the next Congress. A Gruesome Prophecy. The most famous of newspaper correspondents, Henri do BloWltz, Lakes a very gloomy view of thc future. ])c lilowilz is generally considered tho liest informed man on polities in Ku ropo, and his views usually carry vrent weight. For thirty years ho lias been the Paris correspondent of Lhe London Times and has fre njucntly known more State secrets Limn any statesman in Kurope. This wise correspondent is usually very salmi and conservative, but of late ho seems to have taken lhe role of an ilarmist. Ile predicts that in thc near future til ero will bc a war be tween nil the civilized nations, a war which in the magnitude of its proportions and its results will sur pass all of the great conflicts of thc past. The nations, as viewed by do IMowitz, are full of light. They have imhitinns and schemes which are so conflicting that a clash between them very soon is inevitable and when thc Lrouble si arts it will almost cer tainly involve all the powers. When the Czar called the great Peace Conf?rence de Blowitz pre lictcd that it would accomplis!) Kithing, lie now sees more signs of war than have been visible for a long time and his high character as in observer has caused his prediction Lo receive very general attention. Atlanta Journal. -? -. Question Answered. Yes, August Plower still has the. larg est sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers lever thought of using anything else for lidigOStiOll and biliousness. Doctors wore scarce, and they seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous prostration or lioart failure, etc. They used August Kiowor to clean out the system and stop Fermentation of undigested food, reg l? ate the action of the liver, stimulate he nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and had with headaches and . thcr aches. You only need a few doses ti Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is milling serious the matter with you. Kt ir sale hy .1. ll. Darby, Druggist.
