The performance was certainly well seasoned with mystery. Somo claim Miss Abbott's power lies iu tho fact that BIIO compels those against whose strength she is pitted not to resist her and that in roaltty nor power is exerted against no opposing strength. The exhibition, however, did not bear this thoory out. The Btrength of the men was unquestionably overcome hy some means-, but their features gave abundant evidencnof a bravo attempt at renlstanco on their part. Ton med failed to lift her; and while her offert to raise tho ton mon was not a clear success, yet movemonts of tho chair, with ten men, averaging 150 pounds each, showed the exortion of groat power of some kind. It is claimed by somo that the whole per formance was a stupendous faroe. If so, then it is so neatly oonoealed as to render it well worth seeing. Miss Abbott poa se?sea unquestioned hypnotlo powers, but not over everybody. She, like all hypnotists, must nave "subjects" who will follow her Instructions until under her power, when she ceases to "roquest" and issues "oom mauds." TO OI'RB A ?

WEEDS Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weale lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young ; when old, sometimes im possible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest t The time to treat consump tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't. . Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion.. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and b<? better for the treatment. If it is consump tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat ment you will win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, thats the treatment and that's the best treatment. We will send yon alittte of the Emul sion free.

Wi ons boro, November 80.-The dis cussion of the establishment of a oheese factory at thia point has brought forth the following letter from Dr. Nesora, of Clemson College, wbioh was written in reply to a communication asking him in regard to the practicability of snob en terprises in thia BOO li ou and which con tains many practical suggestions that ought to be helpful at this time when thero ls a search for new enterprises for the farm as well aa for the faotory: "I am delighted to hear that tho prospects for obeese factories in your section are good. I hare froquently taken occasion to remark that the prin cipal reason why farms all over the South are decreasing in fertility and value as they are in Fairfield county is that our system of agriculture forcea the sale of field crops instead of animal products. If all that will do to feed to animals were fed on the fagins whore it is grown and the manure returned to the soil poor lands would soon be a thing of the past, for lt should be remembered that all clay and sandy lands lu this sec tion are susceptible to the highest state of fertilisation. This is not true of Erarle and lime lands. Before we can ave obeese factories we must have plenty of good dairy cattle," and before we can keep these cattle economi cally we must have good pastures, hay meadows and grain fields to produoe all the required food on tho farm. Some things produoed may be exchanged for others, as tho exohango of cotton, cotton seed and milk for cot ton seed meal. Some seem to doubt the ability of South Carolina farmers to pro duce feed in abundance. For the bene fit of tho doubters I will say that a North ern cattle man who recently visited this State told me that cattle could be grown here and maintained at half what they cost in the North. We have the three requisites for any H tock country, namely: a good soil, a warm climate and plen'.y of rainfall. There is no doubt that dairy cattlo are the most profitable of any class if they are properly handled, and a ready market is found for their product. Tho dairyman near the ci ty whore he can soil fresh sweet milk gets most out of the business, while those located in the country' and at small towns are forced to report to the manufacture of butter and oheese so aa to get the products UV a ooudensed form to enable him to transport them to distant mar kets at the cheapest possible freight rate. Butter will yield about half as much as the sale of sweet mila, but when the oheese faotory oomos along it will nay as muoh for tho milk as it will bring if made lato butter and the dairyman is relieved of all tho trouble of making and marketing tho butter. Ex perts claim that milk in this st at o will make more oheese and better oheese than the same amount of milk will in the North. This ts no doubt true and is possibly due to tho faot that muoh of the milk here is gotten from Jersey and other dairy breeds that givo a vich milk to favorable olimatio condition? and lux uriant feeds. Dairy oattle in tho rural districts oan only be made profitable by using the dairy producta in the manufac ture of bntter or oheese, and if they cannot be used it is better to discard them altogether and breed beef cattle, so that the animals themsolves may be sold at a profit for food."
