iutttwous Ilemntmcnt. Co Nor a Cani>ii>atk.?Senator Vance, of North Carolina, tell.* the following at his] own expense. In one of his campaigns for the governorship he was riding along a country road, when he met a venerable darkey arrayed in Sunday clothes. It was Vance's habit to talk to everybody he met in these electioneering tours. "Well, uncle," lie said, "you're spruced up mightily this morning. Coin' to church." "Yes, sail. Gwinc to church." "I bet I know what church you belong to ?Baptist?" "No, sab ; I can't say I's a Baptist." "Methodist, then ?" "No, sah ; I ain't no Mefodis', nudder.' "Well, surelv, vou are not an Episcopalian ?" "No, sah ; I'se Presp'te'an ; dat's what I is." "And you believe in all the doctrines of the Presbyterian church?" "Yes, sah." * "Well, now, there's the doctrine of election. Do you believe if a man is elected to be saved he will be saved, and if elected to be damned he will be damned?" "Oh, yes, boss ; dat's my faith." "It is, eh? Well, take my case. Ami elected to be saved or elected to be damned ?" The old man scratched his head, his religious convictions struggling with his desire to be polite, but pressed for an answer, replied : "Well, I tell you what, Marse Zeb, I have been a libbin' in dis world for nigh on fiftyfive year, and I never yet beam tell of any man bein' elected onless he war a candidate." Equally as a politician and as a Presbyterian, Governor Vance appreciated this diplomatic statement. A Fish Story.?"Yass," said the old man, as the boys pressed about him?"yaas, I has caught minnows on a hook, an' they were the hitreist minnows ve ever seed. These ? -OCT v .minnows that I caught were seven foot long." "Hoh!" cried one of the party. "They couldn't have been minnows, then." "Yaas, they were minnows, too," said the old man. "Seven foot long an' weighin' thirty pounds apiece; but that wasn't the funny part of it. The funny part was that you couldn't tell them from blue fish." "Then how did you know they were minnows," asked one of the boys. "How'd I know?" retorted the old man. ! "How'd I know? Why, 1 knowed what I went fishin' for didn't I? I was arter ruin- ' nows, and when I'm arter minnows I don't ; ketch blue fish. That's how."?Harper's Young People. < Not that Kind ok a Bar.?A gentleman from the Tennessee mountains was < writing for a friend in the drug store near i the depot. He had never seen this friend, who had written him offering to exchange a | large amount of bad money for a small | amount of good bills. While tarrying, the mountaineer observed the soda fountain. It j was a new device to him, but after a moinent he satisfied himself of its purpose. Walking up to the attendant, he said, "Gimme three lingers of red-eye." "No liquor sold here, sir," was the an- ' swer. "Wal, then, pull me a glass of beer, an' ' don't put so much foam on it' as ye did fer * the two gals that jest left." "We have no beer." 1 "See her, stranger, if this ain't a distillery 1 or a brewery, what in thunder 111 out it be, anyhow ?" ] ftST* "Dear me," he whispered, "do you < think if I married you your father would ever forgive us?" "I'm sure he would, < dear," she asserted, softly. "And would he } give us a house of our own ?" "I know he ( would, dearest." "And would he give us euough to live beautifully on?" "I'm sure of ( it, Harry." "And would he take me into the j firm?" "Certainly he would." "And let i ,t.. i : iron icr?f me run me uusiuess iu suit ui^scu ; vi i course he would, darling." She snuggled'. to his bosom, but he put her aside coldly. , "I cau never marry you," he said, hoarsely. "Your father is too willing to get you off his hands." A young minister had gone to the r home of his boyhood to preach, and, of! course, the villagers were full of curiosity to '. hear him. At the close of the service one of!' the deacons engaged the young preacher's!5 wife in conversation. "It was a strange co-;( incidence," said he, "that your husband's text was the one from which his father:' preached his last sermon in his pulpit." i > "Indeed !" said the lady. "Well, that was j( strauge. I hope," she continued, "it wasn't j' the same sermon." "Oh, no," said the dea-1 con in a deprecatory manner; "his father, i was a dreadful smart man." j1 fiSf A New London paper tells the story j s of a North Stonington deacon who ran for office at the last election. The town was 1 close, and the good old deacon came down 11 liberally with the shekels for campaign ex- 1 pense. He was elected, and some time after; i lie met the town committeemen and asked , to sec the list of voters who his money had ' | bought, for he knew that was part of Ston-. s ington politics. Somewhere in the list he j? struck the name of his son. "What!" ex- it claimed the surprised deacon, "did you have to pay Sam to vote for me?" "Yes," was the reply, "he stuck out for his $10 just like j, the rest of them." I< The Difference.?The son of a former , slave-owner lately met one of the colored ' "boys" of the old plantation, and stopped to | have a chat about "matters and things." "Well, John said he, "and what are; j you doing these days ?" ;. "I s a zorter, Marse Bob." "An exhorter, you mean ?" "Yas, sir, a zorter: dat's it!" "I thought you were a preacher. What is ! the difference between a preacher and an ! exhorter ?" j ? "Dilfrence 'twixt a zorter an' a preacher': is zackly this: Preacher, he stick to de tex', i but zorter lie hit all round ?" He Han His Measure.?Mr. P. H. Win- j ston and Hon. H. A. Gilliam were for years leaders at the Bertie county (N. C.) bar, and ' had each a full appreciation, from experience of the other. At one term Mr. Winston was suddenly called away, and placed hisbusi-' ness in the hands of his nephew, Duncan Winston, a recent acquisition to the bar. "Now," said he, "Duncan, if (iilliam makes you any oiler of a compromise, decline it. If you make him one, ami you find he is about to accept, withdraw it immediately."?Green Bag. S&T Chief Justice Jeremiah Black, of Pennsylvania, says The Green Bag, in reviewing a case which came from the court of his old friend, Judge Moses Hampton, remarked that "surely Moses must have been wandering in the wilderness when he made his decision," and sent the case back to the lower court. Judge Hampton, on its second trial, took occasion to remark that, although he would have to submit to the higher authority. yet he still thought he was right, "in spite of the lainetations of Jeremiah." j j In No Ht unv.?Mrs. OF?Can I have! my husband put in jail for slapping me in the mouth. Magistrate?Certainly ; that is assault and battery. "Well, I'll eome around in about a month ; and make the charge.*' "Why not have him arrested at once.'' j "Well, you see, when he slapped me I hit him in the head with a rollin' pin and he's now in the hospital and the doctors say he won't he able to get out for a month yet." j Not Kasii.y IMssiai>i:i>.?

To begin with, the land must be plowed deep and harrowed until very tine. Never use stable manure in the furrow, as it causes the pieces to rot, and gives a dirty, scabby appearance to the crop. Use phosphate at the rate of 400 pounds per acre in the trenches. Lay otr the trenches three feet apart, put in the phosphate, then draw the smooting harrow directly across the trenches to mix some dirt with the phosphate, then drop the pieces of potatoes about 12 to 14 inches apart and cover by again drawing the harrow across the rows. It will be necessary to open the rows very deep with a large shovel plow, so that when the planting is done, the furrows will be only two-thirds full. If the plants appear before frost is over, cover them by harrowing, and they will not be injured. After danger from frost is over, cultivate by harrowing with Thomas harrow across the rows. When the trenches fill up even with the surface, use the Planet, Jr., or other cultivator between the rows. Nearly every farmer has his own idea about cutting the seed, so we will not give any directions here; but will only say that we have always found it best to cut the tuber lengthwise, and then divide so as to give two eyes to every piece. The method here described is the cheapest and most improved way of growing this crop where the crop is not large enough to justify one in buying expensive potato machinery. It will be best to plant two varieties?one early and the other late. For the early kind, the Early Rose is best, and for the late, try the Burbank. This potato has a white skin, oblong sbape, and is a good keeper. All the early kinds are light yielders, and rot very badly, but they may be planted for early home use. FEEDING THE CORN CROP. There is no doubt of the fact, proved as it has been by many exhaustive experiments, that the use of fertilizers is far better for the corn crop than that of ordinary manure. The productive ability of the corn plant is amazing. A single seed will reproduce itself 500 to 1,000 times, while the plant itself takes a large amount of nutriment from the soil, making as it docs not less than twelve to twenty tons of green stalks and leaves on one acre. This great product necessarily calls for a large amount of available nutriment in the soil, all through the period of the growth of the crop. It is the result of a large supply of ordinary manure that the first growtli is greatly stimulated, and the stalk and leaf become exceedingly luxuriant, but this luxuriance is not continued to the end of the season, failing at the very time that the seed is forming, and the most valuable product is to be made, llence the ears are not filled out and the yield of grain is greatly reduced. The large crops grown in competition for premiums have all been produced by a system of full feeding, by which every ear is filled to the tip with full sized grains. It is the vacant spaces on the ears that so reduce the yield, which might be fully onefourth more if well filled out. A little figuring will show how much the yield is increased by having all the ears filled and the grain of full size. I have grown corn crops, an average ear of which has made a full pint of grain, and the largest has yielded a quart. With two cars to each hill, and the hills three feet apart each way, the ears having only one pint of corn 011 an average, the yield will be over iou ousneis to tlie acre. One of my crops made something over 125 bushels of grain per acre, others have made a full hundred, and several over 90 bushels, and the average for years has been over SO bushels; but I never made such large crops by the use of yard manure j alone, and only by means of commercial fertilizers, while the largest yields have al-1 ways been made by successive applications of the fertilizer. Under this system the) whole quantity of fertilizers applied have i been considerably less than that used in other large crops which have been grown by ; one application only made at the planting. This, doubtless, is due to the loss of plant, food by percolation through the soil, during the season of growth, ltut if the food had I been applied to the crop at intervals when it! could be taken up usefully by the plants, the I crop would have had the whole benefit of it, i and no loss would have occurred. Thus if! the fertilizers used had been given at such J intervals as the food is most needed, and j could be made immediately available, the ' crop would be made the largest possible, j This has been found fully proved during nearly twenty years' experience, and the . same result to some extent has been gained by frequent cultivation of the crop, which has the effect of making plant food in the ; soil more available, but not td the full extent i as when the cultivation bad been given with 1 the fertilizer. The periods of growth at which this sue-1 cessive feeding is needed, are when the plant j is about to show the tassel, again when the silks appear, and again when the grain is filling. These are the times when the plantj is appropriating the most food, to enable it! to meet the heaviest call on the soil for nutriment. The reproductive period is always; such a time, as this calls for the exercise of the greatest vitality in the plant, which, in this case, certainly may be believed to be in an analogous condition to an animal at thet breeding season, when its vitality needs to j be most supported. And if there is such an i analogy between plants and animals, then this is to be considered in the feeding of tlie crops, especially one of such vigorous growth ; as corn. Believing this, then, my practice has been i to provide this needed stimulus in* the; shape of 100 pounds of fertilizer at each of the periods mentioned, and it has certainly | l I linttn iico.1 .w ' oeeil C11CCU\C. >l m il x mm.. ......... ; a.s GOO pounds per acre in the whole, 300 pounds of it has been applied immediately after the planting, and the remainder has heen used at intervals during the growing season, and always immediately after a cultivation, when the fertilizer has been dissolved and diffused in the soil at once. A similar result has heen reached by the mere cultivation of the soil at intervals of a week, making it a rule to begin this work every Monday, or as soon after as the weather would permit. This cultivation has added twenty bushels per acre to the crop, as compared with part of the field on which the working was done only three limes and when it Svas necessary to keep down the weeds, j This shows how important it is to ignore ctil- j tivation as a mere mode of destroying weeds,, and to consider it solely in regard to the needs of the crop for the plant which it liberates, and the moisture it preserves in the soil. And this frequent cultivation is most needed in the dryest weather, for the mellow, porous soil takes up moisture greedily during the night, and holds it more firmly against evaporation during the day.?American Agriculturist.

TO Til K COTTON GROWERS. A Southerner on 'Chamje Appeals to the South to Think ami Reason. The following article is from Mr. John T. j I Roddey, formerly a citizen of Rock Hill, S. I C. He is in the cotton business, and his : knowledge of the situation comes from a I careful study of the cotton problem. To the Editor of The .State: The cotton situation should at present j I cause more thought and agitation than any- j thing else with the thinking people of the South, and it does seem with so many shrewd i and progressive Southerners that they could j control the price of cotton, which can only | be raised in ten Southern States of the Union.! The Southern States should be able to die- j tate, instead of having the price dictated to j them. Why will the South not organize, and study more closely the law of supply and demand? They should command the situation and control their most valuable staple, which atrects their welfare more than all political questions to the discussion of; which so much time is given. I Which is more profitable, to raise 0,000,000 bales at 12 cents, or 9,000,000 at 5 cents ? [ Some argue that the price of cotton must equal the cost of production. This is a misleading argument, because even some of the ! Southern States possess special advantages, so that while at a certain price some communities would get a fair or small profit, the same price would mean rum to otners. some j farmers will say : "Well, I make enough of everything to do me and can afford to plant the balance of my land in cotton." This extra planting is the cause of the low price. The worst trouble in some sections, it seems, (in my opinion), is the merchant, because if a laborer can borrow, buy, beg, or rent a mule, ho can easily rent the land and the merchant permits his lien to be in proportion to the amount of land he has in cotton. Many farmers promise to pay big prices for corn, provisions and other necessities, expecting an enormous crop of cotton to pay for everything. The big crop comes and prices must necessarily be low. Then the debts cannot be paid, and, of course, general demoralization is the result. Why cannot farmers orgiyiize some plan which would permit only so many acres to be planted in cotton for each horse and then adhere to the rule. Diversify the crop. Let every family raise everything at home except what it wears. There is no sense in the South buying everything it uses, when it can be raised in that section, which naturally should be the most prosperous part of the Union; hut it seems to send North or West for everything, because in my opinion, it simply desires to plant cotton. Many farmers seem to know nothing else, and care to learn nothing else. If an organization could be formed among Southern farmers to control the planting of cotton, instead of discussing the silver bill and other political questions, 12 to 15 cents per -pound could easily be obtained for cottou. Cotton is very different from wheat, in that the latter can be grown all over the world. Suppy and demand must control prices. When it is known how many acres the South has planted in cotton, spinners immediately begin to figure how low they cun buy your cotton next year. No doubt, Manchester spinners have representatives in the South now, figuring on how many acres you will plant, and for how little they can buy j your cotton. There is one point I wish especially to em- j phasize, and that is the tendency of the South to send out false reports in regard to the probable amount of cotton they will raise. This works great injury to prices. Why? Experts go South, look up the crop, estimate the acreage and the amount you will make. These farmers will say five bales to the horse. The experts, having taken in the situation, know positively that seven bales of cotton will be made to the horse, or at least a difference of easily 20 per cent. The reports of the farmers, who estimate the crop at only five bales to the horse, are given to the goverment aud many large houses, who send them out. Then, the South, with this false idea, will imagine that the crop is exceedingly small, and will buy cotton. The experts give their opinion, which is usually correct, to many influential people, who then sell you the cotton at high prices, based on the estimate of five bales to the horse. When the time comes around for you to sell your cotton, it is apparent that the crop will be seven bales to the horse, and you will get the low price ou this basis. So you can readily see that hundreds of speculators, cotton traders and merchants live? and comfortably too?on your false estimates of the crop. I am a native Southe'rner, with Southern interests and Southern sympathies, and it is ray dearest wish that the South may wake up, study closer and be the once proud and prosperous section as in ante-bellum days. But unless they pull together in harmony, and all work lor the individual, as well as the general prosperity, such will not be the case:?John T. Roddey, of Roddey & Watts. STONEWALL JACKSON. Origin of His Nickname? A Contradiction of General I). II. Hill. Kalkigh, X. C\, February 19.?General I), II. Hill, in an article in The Century Magazine for February, entitled "The Real Stonewall Jackson," states that a letter writer from the field of Manassas "told a very pretty story" about General Bee pointing to General T. J. Jackron and saying: "There stands Jackson like a stone wall," but that "the tale was a sheer fabrication, and the name was the least suited to Jackson, who was ever in motion, swooping like and eagle on his prey." Continuing, General Hill says : "There was a nuisance in the service known as the army correspondent, and these persons sent oil' many stories of Jackson." The statements of this Century article! have caused much surprise among ex-Con-1 federates and others of the South, coming from that source, Generals Jackson and Hill1 having been brothers-in-law, and General | Hill's declaration that General Bee never applied the term "Stonewall" to General Jackson is generally regarded as incorrect. The following statement is given to The Evening Post's representative by Marmaduke \V. Bobbins, of Statesville, N. C\, an ex-congressman and one of the best-known men in North Carolina: "General Hill does not profess to know anything about this matter personally, hut contents himself with whistling the story down the wind, without really stating howit otherwise originated, because the name docs not seem to him a fitting characterization of Jackson. I state positively of my own personal knowledge that in the afternoon of July 21, 1801, in the heat of the battle of Bull Bun, General Barnard E. Bee,! commanding our brigade, galloped up to the ! remnant of the Fourth Alabama Begiment,! in which 1 was at the time a lieutenant, and which had then lost all three of its field officers and one-third of its men, including' many of its line officers, and was so cut to j pieces that General Bee seemed not to recognize us at first, and asked the question : 'What regiment is this?' We answered him : 'The Fourth Alabama.' "At that time the heaviest masses of the Union troops had so inclined to our left as! to leave us comparatively unengaged, with : little more than a skirmish line in our front.! But Jackson and his brigade, who were in 1 position on high ground, about ">00 yards to j our left, were being assailed by masses of the enemy, who surged forward like angry ! waves against Jackson's line, which was holding fast to its ground like an immovable ' rock, despite the terrific onslaughts. It wasj plainly the crisis of the day. General Bee I then said to ns, 'Men, can you make a charge of bayonets?" "To this our poor, battered regiment responded, 'Yes, gener-1 al, we will go whereever you lead, and obey your commands.'

He was speaking, in fact, of his brigade as well as of himself, and paying a deserved compliment to both.

HISTORY OF COTTON ITLTIKK IN CAROLINA. Cotton was early sold in Charleston. The ' packages in which it was put up varied in weight from one to thirty pounds. In 1787 the fleecy staple was taken to the City by the Sea from Orangeburg, Newberry, and, perhaps, from Union, and sold at two pence a pound to the merchants, who resold it mainly to the ladies to make "patch-work bed-quilts." About the year named two or three hags each weighing near a hundred 1 pounds of seed cotton, were packed in the store of Wadeworth it Turpin by Samuel J Maverick and Jeffrey, a half blooded Indian. (This Maverick, by the way, claimed to be j the first person that made sugar in South j Carolina. About the year 1S00 he planted I some ribbon cane, purchased in the Havan-! ah, in the lot to the east of the present or- i plian house. It yielded 300 pounds. The cane was pounded in a mortar and the juice boiled in iron pots). These bags were sent to England as a j sample and experiment. The parties to j whom they were sent wrote that the article was not worth producing as it could not be ! separated from the seed. In 1704 Dr. James Otis Prentiss planted ! cotton for market near Orangeburg C. II. I Either in that year or the next Colonel Wil- j liam Thomas, the Revolutionaay soldier,! planted cotton to sell at Bellville, in St. Matthews parish. In 1790 cultivators ofi this crop appeared in several parts of the I State. Among them was Samuel Felder, of Orangeburg. John Mayrant and Asbury Sylvester first grew cotton in the high hills of, the Santee in the year 1708. A year later | General Wade Hampton introduced the plant into Richland district; gathered over I GOO bags from GOO acres. General Hampton was the first man in i South Carolina to*use water as the propelling J power of Whitney's cotton gin. Fifty years j ago Colonel Wade Hampton wrote Whitemarsh B. Seabrook : "When Whitney's gin ! was exhibited in Georgia, none but women ! were permitted to enter the room. An in-1 ge'.ious young mechanic at length intro-! dueed himself into the apartment in woman's apparel, and by a minute examination of the machine, satisfied himself that he could not t !. !i.A. f 4 ! oniy inmuie out improve uu ua tuusiiutuuii I by making it more efficient. This discovery was communicated to my father by General; Gun, who spoke so confidently of the capaci- i ty of this individual that my father was in- j duced to visit at his residence in Georgia, i This visit resulted in a contract for three | gins, applicable on a large scale of opera-1 tions, and they were unquestionably the first ever driven by water power." It has been written that General Hampton's gins were furnished by an ingenious artisan of Georgia assisted by William Munson, of Richland. These gins were roughly constructed ; still they were models for others made in 1801 by William Munson and James Boatwright, of Columbia. These were the first machines of home manufacture. Gen-1 eral Hampton was not, however, the first to I use tho Whitney gin in South Carolina. Captain James Kirkland, of Fairfield, put up one near Monticello in 1795. How to dispose of the cottonseed was a perplexing problem to some of the early spinners. It was considered worthless and carelessly thrown on the ground like saw dust. The hogs ate the seed and died. Then it was put in pens like shucks. The pigs got the seeds out through the cracks and soon went the way of their elders. As a last resort, and homing to get rid of the "nuisance," the seed was dumped into the j creeks, but in low water an odor was generated which was so offensive as to create a j strong feeling of prejudice against the further culture of the crop. The fear of "overproduction" is no new 4 1.! norn oil Afl'l ninn ni'P i^iuci^v )caio wji.m.w.. I-- w vailed that the supply of cotton would soon exceed the demand. A planter at St. John's, Colleton, looking at his first crop, the pro-: duct of a few acres, after it had been housed, exclaimed : "Well, well, I am done with the cultivation of cotton ! JTere is enough cotton to make stockings for all the people in America." These items are taken from an essay on the cotton plant written two score and ten years ago by an Edisto Island planter, Whitmarsh Ik Seabrook, afterwards governor of our State, whose very words and sentences have been freely used.?W. S. M. in Orangeburg Enterprise. "IN A MINUTE." "Don't fret. I'll be there in a minute." But, my friend, a minute means a good deal, notwithstanding you alfect to hold it of no conseciuence. Did you ever stop to think what may happen in a minute? Xo. Well, while you are murdering a minute for yourself and one for me, before we get ready for the business we have in hand, I will amuse you by telling you something that will happen meantime. In a minute we shall be whirled around on the outside of the earth by its diurnal motion a distance of thirteen miles. At the same time we shall have gone along with the earth on its grand journey around the! sun, 1,080 miles. Pretty quick traveling,! you say? Why that is slow work compared ; with the rate of travel of that ray of lightj which was just now reflected from that mir-j ror. A minute ago that ray was 11,100,000 j miles away. In a minute, all over the world, about | eighty new born infants have each raised a wail of protest as if against thrusting exist-! cnce upon them ; while as many more human ! being-, weary with the struggle of life, have opened their lips to utter their last sigh. In a minute the lowest sound your ear i can catch has made 000 vibrations, while i the highest tone reached you after making ! 2,228,000 vibrations. In a minute an express train goes a mile, j and a street car thirty-two rods, the fastest trotting horse 148 rods, and an average pedestrian has gone over It! rods. Each minute, night and day, by the official reports, the United States collects $039, and snends $401. The interest on the pub-1 lie debt was $90 a minute last year, or just I exactly equal to the amount of silver mined ; in that time. The telephone is used 136 times. Of tobacco 925 pounds are raised,l and part of it has been used in making 0,753 I cigars, and some more of it has gone up in the smoke of 2,292 cigarettes. But I am afraid that you will forget that! we are talking about a minute, sixty sec-i onds of time. No? Well, then, every minute 000 pounds of wool grow in this country, and we have to dig 01 tons of anthracite j coal and 200 tons of bituinous coal, while of pig iron we turn out 11 tons, and of steel rails 3 tons. In this minute you have kept me waiting, 15 kegs of nails have been made, j 12 bales of cotton have been taken from the: fields, and 30 pushcls of grain have gone | into 149 gallons of spirits, while $60 of gold have been dug from the earth. In the same \ time the I'nited States mints turned out: coin to the value of $121, and 42 acres of| the public, domain have been sold or given | a way.?(' I e vel a n d Press.

Next have her add 115 and then toll the total amount left. In* this grand total the two figures to the left will tell you her age and the other the month of her birth. For example, if the amount is S22, she is 2'2 years old and was horn in August?the eighth month. Horseflesh in China has been considered a great delicacy for centuries. The inhabitants, however, for the purposes of the kitchen, use almost exclusively animals of a small breed, little bigger than ponies, which have thin legs and small hones, and grow fat on little food. They are fed almost entirely on grass and hay. The meat is sold at comparatively low prices for this reason. Many farmers devote their time almost exclusively to raising these horses for the market. ? ?

I DO YOU DENY THE CHARGE ? | FOR several years you have been fully conscious of the fact that by the J use of a CORBIN DISK HARROW you could reduce the expenses on your j farm and at the same time increase the producing power of your land. You ; have known this because you have seen statements to that effect in these 1 columns signed by some of the best farmers in York and Chester counties? | men whose word you would not think of doubting in any statement they j might make to you. Isn't the foregoing absolutely correct ? Now, here, doubtless, are some of the reasons you have assigned for not I buying, and I will say that none or all of them are worth the time em'ployed in thinking them out: First. "My land is different the man's who made the statement as to his experience with the harrow." Second. "Times are too hard." Third. "The price is too high, if I will only wait they will get cheaper." Fourth. "Perhaps I can get one low down from some fellow who has got tired of his, or perhaps I may be able to get a bargain in one at some public sale," etc., etc. For answer to "reason" No. i I will say that there is no soil in York j county, or anywhere else, that can be cultivated at all on which the harrow j cannot be used to advantage. j To No. 2 I will say that'the harrow is a time and money saver, therefore | the reason is an argument in favor of buying instead of not buying. To No. 3 I reply that there is not the least probability of a reduction in i price for the reason that it is very low now, especially when the quantity and quality of work it will do is taken into consideration. It is cheaper in proportion than an Iron Foot Plow Stock at $1.00. In reply to No. 4 I will ask how many you have known to be sold in the past five years "because the owners were tired of them" and how many have you known to sell at a reduced price at a public sale? Now say ? I tell you what I know. Several years ago I sold a harrow to three farmers, and after using it for more than a year two of them sold out their interest for $2 less than the entire harrow cost the three. Sold one to another farmer. He used it one year, was compelled to raise some cash to pay a note, and sold ^ his harrow for $1 less than he paid me for it. SAM M. GRIST, State Agent, Yorkville, S. C.
