Department of Agriculture Advlars Karly !><*Htructloii of Stalks. Washington. Sept. 27.-Th*? de partment of agriculture ls sending out warnings to the farmers In the cotton belt cautioning them against the spread of the boll weevil. It is also advising them through Held agents how to destroy and prevent tho spread of tho Insect. "Destroy the cotton stalks early In October, if possible," advises the de partment. .'Destroy your stalks even if your Iras progressive neighbor does not. lt will pay. Clear off and burn all your rubbish on ditch hanks and other hibernating places for tho weevil. This should be done early in the fall. "Do liol plant cotton after cotton, lint plant your cotton on land that has grown a heavy cr >p of cowpeas, velvet beans. Lespedeza or some other leguminous crop to supply the land with nitrogen and vegetable matter. ll renk tho land in the fall or early winter thal ls lo be planted to cotton next year. "Whore suillclenl teams ami tools arc available to plow under and com pletely burn the stalks this should by all means be done. Where it is impossible to plow the stall.s under they should be uprooted, raked Into windrows and allowed to dry for a few days. They should then be burned." To prove the value of destroying the cotton stalks, tho department conducted experiments in Amlte county, Mississippi, last year and the following results are shown: On 1 17 acres where no stalks wore destroyed, bul where all other in structions of the government were followed, the average yield was fi 10 pounds of seed cotton per acre. On 2 8 acres, where the stalks wore de stroyed before October 10th, and the samo cultural methods applied, the average yield l>er aero was 1,050 pounds of seed colton, or a gain of 111 pounds of seed cotton per acre, worth at that time $l.*.fi4, was se cured by early fall destruction of stalks. If it pays a few men $17.fit per acre to cut. their cotton stalks be fore October 10th. what would it mean tc a county if every stalk In it were cut before October 10th? On the other farms in the same county, where none of the govern ment instructions were followed, it took from eight to ten acres to make a hale of cotton. How's This ?

A negro named Will Fair was ac cused of assaulting a white woman in Spartanburg county; a mob attempt ed to lynch the unfortunate black man, but a brave sheriff, remember ing his oath, stood off the cowardly mob and saved tile man. Later twelve brave jurymen, 1 1 e face of the di rect testimony of j alleged victim a white woman brought' in a righteous verdict of not guilty. Of course there ssas ample testimony to show that the negro was Innocent, else no such verdict would have been ? rendered. Suppose some putty-like j white man had been sheriff and yield- j ed to the clamoring of the molt, tho I result would have been the slaying of an innocent man. And yet there are some so-called men who will say. "Well, it wouldn't have made any difference If they had hung him: it would only have been one negro less." Men, wo need to be civilised, and the only way to bring about civ ilization is by education. Prodigal Son Among Thieves. (Sumter Watchman.) The story related by former Sena tor John L. McLaurin of his adven tures In high finance is interesting, and has just that tough of pathetic submission to tito inexplicable rul ings of the higher power that ap peals to the sentimental. lt has what the ?ction writers term "hu man interest," and this does not ren der it in any degree less effect i \e as a campaign document. As you read the story, and the plot unfolds, you recognize in the hero an unsuccessful Moses, who not only failed to lead the people out of bondage, but by a lightning change is transformed into a prodigal son who fell among thieves | and was stripped of purse and rai- , ment. Looking at it another way, | he ls the little boy chasing the rain- j bow to find the pot cf gold and fall- j ing into the toils of a. great big ogre instead. Hut it is a good story, well told, and the hero, who supplied the frame work, and the newspaper man who licked lt into shape and gave it 1 the literary touch, deserve equal credit. Yet it leaves so much to be explained that we look forward with keenest anticipation to a sequel perhaps a series. Still on the Map. (Easley Progress.) "Kasley ls still on the may."-Fas- j ley Progress. "Yes, quite still."- ' Keowee Courier. "Hvllo, Brother! Come over to Easley to the circus on the 27th, and again to the fair on the 23d and 24th | of October, and you'll see that while Fasley is still on the map, yet she can make a noise when necessary. The sound of the hammer and the saw and the trowel, and the hum of ! thousands of spindles in her cotton mills, and that crunching sound made by wagons loaded with cotton and .seed coming to market, and that 1 swishing sound, like wind among the leaves, which is caused by the cash iers of the banks passing the money out to the farmers, is the best music you ever heard. Come over and lis ! ten to it a while and when you re I turn you'll think that Walhalla looks , more like a shoe-string than ever." _ BcCnmp is Suspicious. ( Gaffney Ledger. ) Over in Westminster Gossett opines that there will be plenty of "lasses," basing Iiis assertion on the number of barrels going out of town. How does Gossett know that they ?aren't going to be tilled willi some ! thing else? A Young Financier. (Toccoa, Ga.. Record.) .loo Parkman, aged thirteen, and Iiis younger brother. Tom, aged eight, were going to the savings bank to deposit r>u cents which Joe's uncle had given him for passing with hon ors Into the bink school. Joe put his bank book and his money on the desk. The man said nothing less than il could he deposited. Tom said: "Joe. I know what to do. Draw nut il from the bank and deposit $ 1.50." Capt. -lohn B. Anderson. ( Anderson Intelligencer. ) . I had three hand cars for the sec 1 Hon bosses whru I took charge of the Hine Ridge." taid Capt. John R. An derson. The Captain ls a modest man, and this information was pulled [ out of him. Ile was running freight ? conductor on tho Columbia and Greenville when tlc Richmond and ) Danville bought tho lines now com r in ?sing the Southern, and left the ? Hine Ridge a waif on Anderson's ? doorstep. It hag been an achievement for Capt. Andorson to do what he 1 has with the foundling. He now has . five locomotives and a large number ' of freight cars, and has done a great , deal of permanent track work. The * niue Ridge ls a good little road and ' has a most accommodating and pop I ular set of officials and train officials. We hope that it will some day be able, with the help of the Southern, to push on through the mountains, but of this Capt. Anderson is not privileged to gossip, although lt ls closer to his heart than to any other man's, for he ls thoroughly loyal and has declined to leave this road for places of higher responsibility and less worry and work.
