J. C. Stribling, I
Stunting Corn.
We are pleased to reoefve the fol
lowing letter from Mr. Williamson
on his stunting oom plan and trust
that some of our Farmers' Union
men will put his plan through a oom
pnrffife teat, whieli will remove all
dout^B either way about the plan.
We have six acres under ooiupai tive
test after Mr. Williamson's stunting
process, and will weigh the product*
and measure the area hy an ex ot it
from the Sou*h Carolina Experiment
Station :
J. C. Stribling, Pendleton-Dear
Sir : The exhaustive and continuous
tests that you ask shout in your let
ter of the 12th instant, to Dowsville,
I have not made; nor is it possible
in agriculture to tell positively which
of the many attentions given to a
orop has contributed most to the
result.
This method I have ndvtsed tried
on only a few acres the Mast year, or
until one is familiar with its wa\s.
I feel that the results that I an !
my neighbors who have adopted ii
tSRve obtained are stifHoient to ju?tif_.
me in recommending that it bo given
a trial. If it is not satisfactory it
need not be followed again. A few
acres will not only lie sufficient, but
best for giving this trial.
This "stunting" is no new thiug
in corn growing, and if I had ex
pressed it : "To so check and retard
the stalk growth that there shall be
neither moisture Or plant food wasted
in its production," then numbers of
farmers would have recognized it as j
just what they have been trying to
do for years. Many of them have ;
planted both early and low all of1
their lives to reduce the aizj of tLe
stalk, and they will tell you that
when young corn (not jointed) is
bitten by frost, tho stalk will not
grow large, but that it usually makes
better ears.
This plan is not so new to the
farmer as the newspapers seem to
think-certainly not to the farmers
about hore. It will need to be al
tered and modified to suit different
soils and special conditions, yet the
general principles are correct, and
will work great benefit whenever the
tendency is to make stalk growth at
the expense of the ear.
Experience and judgment are re
quired to give best results, and all
who try it may not succeed-cer
tainly not the first year. I trust
that none will do worse than by tho
old method, and I sincerely ho, e
that it may give to all who try it the
benefij^that it has given to mc.
Yours truly,
E. M. Williamson.
Why Be Alarmed?
Some of our farmers Beem to be a
little worried over this talk of tho
English cotton spinners buying up
Homo of our Southland on which to
raise cheap cotton witli the hope of
driving us back to starvation prices.
And now, as The National Co-ope
rator says, this movement on the
part/~?,thc spinners would bo funny
if ifN&vre not so ridiculous. Yes, it
is too absurd to even give it notice.
Hasn't the cotton scare crow been
hoisted by those English spinners in
Egypt, South Africa and almost
every other country where there
isn't snow on the ground 8G5 days in
I the year?
And what was tho result ? A feat
failure-just what will bc over here
tor they have tried il.
|We will give the English men tho
redit of knowing how to spin cot
ton af toi wo o? the South have grown
it for 'uem, but when it comes to
either ihem or thoso Welsh or Bel
gians raising the fleecy staple, they
know nothing more about it than a
g knows about politics. In fact,
those Welsh and Belgians are aa
zy as some of the emigrants who
ame here, they will be too infernal
azy to keep off the mosquitoes down
er^ in Mississippi and Louisiana,
muon'lcss trying to hoe and plow
cotton. No, thone English spinners
r^ sharp and they well know that
th orop diversification the South
rn cotton farmer is just goiug to
aise cotton to supply tho demand
nd, with organization, thoy aro go
)g to stand shoulder to shoulaer

Department should he addressed lo
Pendleton, S. C.*
like meu and demand a profitable
pri?e for that cotton, and seeing that
their scare-orow failed to frighten
when so far from us, they are now
going to move it up a little nearer.
So, brother farmer, don't be afraid.
It's the same old hunch of rags tieri
ou a little hit taller pole, and it j
moved up to where they hope we
will notice it. /
Slay in the bugin ami just keep cool.
There's no danger in their cotton

. Case of Rev- Caldwell.
The piococ.lii.gs of the Presbyte
rian General Assembly, recently in
session iu Greenville, were devoted
mtiinly to the trial of thc case of
Rev. William Caldwell, Ph. D., pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church
of Fort Worth, Texas, on questions
iuvolving thc orthodoxy of that gen
tleman. Thc- doctrinal points at
issue were :
1. The Mosaic authorship of the
Pentateuch, with speoial reference to
Deuteronomy.
2. Historicity of the enrly chaj -
ters of Genesis.
8. Miraculous element in Old Tes
tumcuts accounts, especially regard
ing Balaam, Samson, Daniel and
Jonah.
On questions of the atonement and
the dootrines of salvation, Dr. Cald
well appears to be regarded as sound.
The issues were argued at length.
Tho voting resulted 90 to 89 to sut
tain Mr. Caldwell, but as ?leven had
only voted to sustain in part, the
moderator refuse* 3 annouuoe the
vote, holding that he did not know
just how far these eleven might
moan to sustain.
Upon motion, the matter of an
nouncing the vote was left to a com
mittee of five, and after bearing the
position of the eleven the committee
announced the vote in favor of Mr.
Caldwell. _*
Cured of Bright's Disease.
Geo. A. .sherman. Lisbon Ked Mills,
Lawronco county, Now York, writes: "I
bad kidney disease for many years and
had boen treated by physicians for twelve
years; had taken a well-known kidney
medicine aud other remedies that woro
recommended, but got no relief until I
began usiug Foley's Kidney Cure. Tho
Hist half bottle relieved me and four bot
tles have cured mo of this terrible dis
ease, lletoie I began taking Foley's
Kidney Cure I liad to ranko water about
every fifteen minutos, day and night,
ami passed a bi irk-dust substance, and
sometimes a slimy substance. I believe
I would have died if I had not taken
Foley's Kidney Curo." J. W. Hell.

Kev. Dr. J. B. H i wi horne, now of

in visiting i't the last named eily and
on being asked by the Atlanta Jour
nal a few ii?)? ago what he thought
ol the negro disfranchise me nt, among
other things said : "(?od! made the
negro an ?inferior race, and, while I
am the uegro's friend, I want him \o
realize hi* place and keep ii-aud
that is Le i ii-J, effectively done by dis
franchisement. Tho negro muet
know that the white man will al
ways rul?*t and the best way 1 know
to teach him this is to take the ballot
out of his baud, unless he is qualified
to use ii properly. Disfranchisement
ha? saved the honor of the State of
Virginia. The ballot in the hand of
the negro has always been a menace
to while supremacy. Disfranchise'
ment is th ? remedy. I believe every
State in the Union should disfrai
eh i He the negro. 1 do not con fi ne
the Slates lo ibe South, but include
the North, Eist and West. Ii stroud
be universal. The people of the
New England Stales, forty years
afier the b.dlot was placed tu the
negro's ban?! hy their forefathers,
now realise it the greatest mistake of
history. . I bid God-speed to every
Siate where ibe movement Iran been
begun lo carry disfranchisement into
effect) for I know what it means to
ihe future of both races."
