The Cultivation ol Sweet Potatoes. As a general thing cut vines will yield' more and better potatoes than draws and they will also keep better. I have, heretofore, decided by ac tual test that if over grown draws be cut in the middle, thus making two plants outof each draw, the tops will exceed the tuber in yield nearly two to one. Also that (f tho vines on a properly constructed bed run from three to four feet and then cut into lengths of three leaves each (if the leaves are far apart two will answer) these cuttings will exceed draws of proper size in yield about 36 per cent. Cuttings with one and two leaves appear to do well, but the test was not considered a fair one and there fore the result is not given. A substitute for a hot bed : Con struct or -procure a b/>x of proper size and place therein fine stable ma nure to the depth of 12 to 13 inches, applying water as tho manure is placed. The manure should be gently packed, but not too firmly. Then place on the manure a proper quantity of any convenient roughage, preferably wheat straw. After a gent?o warmth has been developed place the pota toes on the straw to the depth of about 8 inches and cover with old clothes or anything of the kind to retain the moisture. Excessive heat should be chcoked with tepid water poured over the potatoes and manure. The potatoes should be kcp? moist by an occasional application of tepid water. In a few days sprouts will appear, when the potatoes should be removed to a bed, constructed as fol lows : Construct loose bed, slightly raised, about three feet broad in preferably rich, sandy soil. Then for each twelve feet of bed apply two pounds of kai nit, or a half pound of muriate of potash in lieu of the kainit, and one and a half pounds of acid phosphate. Apply a light coating of soil to the bed, which will prevent the fertilizer from injuring the potatoes. Then place the potatoes endwise in the parallel rows, one foot apart, leaving proper space between the ends of the potatoes. Then ever about two inches deep. By developing a growing stato be fore the potatoes aro placed they are not apt to rot in the bed. I have tested the plan with excellent results. If properly prepared potatoes may be placed on a bed from tho tenth to the 16th of April, they will, in this climate, (North Carolina) be in amplo'time to produce a large yield. Early transplanting from a hot-bed not good : Proper tests have shown that draws transplanted early in the season from the hot bed were ex celled by those transplanted several weeks later from a cold bed ; the lat ser commenced running first. But if tho vines had remained on tho hot bed until they wero three or four feet long the case might have boen differ ent. The heat of the bod would have materially run down and conse quently there would have been but little difference botween tho temper ature of the bed and that of the sur rounding soil. When the vines are cut from the stubs from two to four leaves may bo left on the stubs. Succors will soon appear, the top succor usually lead ing. When this succor attains a length of three or four inches cut and remove cue joint from tho stub. In a few days remove another joint and succor, and so on until all aro taken. These several cuttings may be rooted according to a plan that will soon be given. I will state boro that when vines are out in propor lengths, tho pieces containing tho blade (these pieces should be longer than tho oth ers) will slightly exceed in yield any of the remaining pieces. Thinning the draws : From one fourth to one-half of the first crop of draws may be pulled off, leaving the residuo to develop for cuttings. A proper portion of said draws may be transplanted for early potatoes ; re move tbe roots from the residue of draws and then root tho stems as fol lows: Construct in rich soil a narrow bcd eight to twelve inches broad. To root cuttings of three leaves shove two leaves down into the soil at least one inch apart, leaving one joint above ground. To root tho succors from the stubs, or the draws after the roots have been removed, leave a proper portion of the buds above ground. Settle the soil with water and draw loose earth around the ! plants. If tho weather be warm pro toot from tho sun for a few days by a proper covering. Roots will soon start. Then dig up the plants, (don't pru them'up) and transplant in the usual way. Cuttings thus rooted will live bottor and grow off more rapidly than draws. When practical sweet potatoes should bo grown on a clover or cow' pea Bod that was heavily fertilized with po. ii and phosphoric aoid, in whioh case but little further fertili zing will be needed. If the above plan is impractical run deep furrows four feet apart and place therein corn stalks, cotton stalks, oom cobs, or anything of the kind and cover lightly, this should IKIVC been done in early fall, but will yet pay woll. A few weeks bofore planting time apply in the drills, covering a bolt about 1 foot broad, COO to 800 pounds | per aore of a fertilizer containing ni trogen two per cont actual potash 7 per cont,and available phosphoric acid 6 per cent. At planting time con struct low ridges on the drills and transplant the cuttings in tho usual way, fourteen to eighteen inches ] apart.-Bryan TyBon, in Cotton Plant. ' ' ?ASTORIA. Bean the J9 ?N KirukYou Have Always Bought Pastor Startles Hearers. Savannah, Ga., March fl.-Rev. H. C. Christian, pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist church, last night preached a sermon that startled his congrega tion in its personal disclosures. .In tho days of his unregenernoy Mr. Christian was anything rather than a religious man, as was shown by the following statement : "I believe there is a hell and I ex press this belief after thirty-one years of thought and study. Where it is I do not know ; what it is is not perfectly clear in my mind. Strong argument that there is a literal hell can be found in the Bible. I am in inclined to the belief that this should be taken figuratively. "I was a professional gambler and was once the proprietor of a saloon in the suburbs of your State capital.

Tho United States Supremo Court to-day affirmed tho opinion of the Supreme Court of South Carolina in the ease of John Brownfield versus tho State of South Carolina. Brown field is a negro, who resides in South Carolina and was convicted of mur der. I Io alleged that ho had been denied the equal protection of the law under the Constitution, because that, notwithstanding four-fifths of the people of the community aro colored, all negroes wero excluded from the grand jury by which ho was indicted. Justice Holmes, who delivered the opinion of tho Court, said there is no proof of the allegation, and therefore sustained tho judgment-of tho State Court, which was adverse to Brown field. Slave To Morphine From Doctor's Orders. Habit Worse Than the Disease. Dr. Miles' Nervine Cured Me. When the nervous system has been shat tered by the use of deadly drugs there is nothing to equal Dr. Miles' Nervine in restor ing it to health and normcl activity. "I feel so grateful for what Dr. Miles' Re storative Nervine has done for me that T must tell it for that part of humanity that suffers as I have. During the threeyears I suffered from nervous prortration I found no relief except when doctors gave morphine. To get rid of suffering I took morphine my self as it was the only thing that would give ease, and now you, who point with scorn at morphine using, how could you, when in such agony, knowing it about th? only thing that would give relief, resist it? I knew it was a terrible habit and I knew of its deadly grasp, but I never fully realized its signifi cance until I'had used it a number of months. Oh, the misery of being addicted to such a habit. I resolved then end there to quit lt and resolved I would never be a slave to any such demon. About this time I happened to notice Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine adver tised and ordered a bottle. After using five bottles I can truthfully say I am cured of using morphine. Now. however much per sons may doubt it, Goa is my witness I am cured.

Recently when a big robbery took place not far from her? a man 'phoned to a bank and wanted to know if tho bank would be responsible for stolen money. The bank ans wered yes, of course. This illustrates that many people do not understand about bauka. Laurons bas four banks, all strong institutions. There ia a lot of money in the comity. There is a lot in these banks. There is also a lot out side. Every bank is provided with a firet-olass vault. Any bank is ten times as safe as a private house. The individual who keep's large sums in bis pockets bas neither the- money safe no his life safe. Now and then in the country people are killed for their money. This rarely happens in town. The man who keeps his money tn a bank learns business habita. AU progressive mon, there are no excep tions to this rule, deal with banks. There is a great deal of money in this country that is not in banks. Does it help the banks to deposit in them ? Certainly it does. But it helps the depositor too. If we had no banks in this country wouldn't we be in a nice fix ? If we had no depositors we would have no banks. The man who is a regular deposi tor will always have banking friends. Thc banks look after those who help thom. That's tho first rule in the banking business. There is a time when every man wants to borrow some time or other in his life. When he oan put bis money in the safest place possible-in a bank--and at the same timo make a friend of the bank, it is strange that he fails sometimes to do it. The great power of the New Eng land States lies in the fact that the working peoplo there have hundreds of millions of dollars laid away in the banks.-Laurens Advertiser. O -A-, JES T O Sri.

Clemson Boy's Inver.'.;;/). Clemson College, March 5.-Clemson College comes to the front again in the pcrsou of T. B. Lee, a member of the present Sophomore class, who has in vented u moot ingenious device for use on looms, the appliance being especially adapted to the well known Draper loom?, sn widely used in cotton mills. Mr. Loo is a Pelror boy and has had considerable experieuoe io mill work, wit ?oh taught bim the neoesaity for suoh a devioe a? he has gotten up so successfully. In a loom when filling breaks or gives out the loom should be stopped so that the bobbin may be re threaded or replaced. For this purpose the loom is provided with a filling mo tion, comprising a rack pu tho Tay, a filling fork on a slide, a lever for commu nicating the motion of the cane to the ford ana a lever for pushing tho shipper handle from tho detaining notch. Tho tilling fork detects the presence or ab sence of the niling. This, with the rack, knocks the fork, on tue forward beat and keeps the loom running. Bot if the filling gives out or breaks the fork is not raised and the loom stops. This rack is therefore unreliable, for if there is any play in the lay the sides of the rack will strike the prongs of the fork and knock it np, preventing the loom's being stopped. These racks get dogged with lint or loose threads, whioh would also prevent ita slopping. But unless the loom is stopped promptly in such oases "a thin place" will bo made in the oioth, aud these will have to be "picked out" or the cloth thrown into the second grade. Tho objeot of Mr. Leo's invention is to do away with this rack and the conse quent trouble and loss of time and labor arising from its use and to substitute in its stead this device of his, by which a larger per cent of first-olass goods oan be made. The devioe is as follows: Adjacent the filling fork a fixed stand is mounted on the breast beam. On this ls a yieldingly controlled member trans verse to the lay. Ou tho rear end of said member is a non-metalio hoad to ongago the filling on the detecting beat and clamp it between the bead and back walls of the shuttle box, thereby main taining the Ailing taut when presented to the aotlon of the filling fork. Mr. Lee made some of these appli ances aud tried them upon tbe Drapor rooms in the textile department. Willi them behove a out of olotb without a single ' thin place," while without them the same loom made four "thin plaoes." As said before, it ia especially valuable for uso with the Draper looms, where emptyJ>obbins oan be replaced without tbe loom being stopped. Upon seeing it work succcsstsilly Mr. Lee bad his inven tion patented lust December and has recently sold his rights to tbe Draper Loom Company, of Hopedale, Mass., for a considerable Bum.
