[^Wheat in Traultlon and History,
The Chinese cultivated wheat 3,700
before the beginning of the Chris?
ten era, always considering it as a gift
rect from heaven. Scientific agricultu

iely known and cultivated by prehis

Ancient monuments show that the cul
taition of wheat has been established in
Igypt before the invasion of the nhep
Berds. There are numerous varieties of
useful grain. Col. Le Cauteur, of
.e Isle of Jersey, cultivated 159 varie
oa his estates at one time, and Dar?
me ntions a French experimenter
o had 822 districts sorts growing at
te time. Yilmorin-Andrieux et Cie,
ed merchants of Paris, having collected
5pwards cf 700 different types of wheat,
Ir more than twice as many as the great

Three small grained varieties of com
on wheat were cultivated by the first
ike-dwellers of Switzerland. It was
so cultivated by the people of Italy and
[unwary in the time of the Stone Age,
gad by the Egyptians as long ago as
|359 years B. C, this latter fact being
Iroved by a grain of wheat found imbed
leu in one of the bricks of the pyramids
which the above date has been as
tgned.

be most ancient languages confirms the
jyidence of its great antiquity and of its
Inltivation in the more temperate parts
If Europe, Asia and Africa. From the
fcidence addaeed:by botanists of high
banding, it seems highly improbable
last wheat has never been found growing

Tue Huur?ng of Proverbs.
A Proverb has been defined as "the wis?
dom of many and the wit of one." Into
many proverbs are packed pithy sugges?
tions as to conduct and generalized ex?
periences of mankind. They are sar?
castic, hortative, minatory, mirth-pro?
voking, but they are not wiser than the
people who make them. Hence, many
of them, some of the most widely cur?
rent, are arrant humbugs, asserts the
New York Examiner. If they were
once true to experience, under certain
conditions, they are true no longer.
To say thia is flat contradiction of the
well-known proverb, "Nobody is wiser
than everybody." But even that is one
of the humbugs. It not infrequently
happens that a single man is wiser than
his whole generation. Such men become
first the leaders, then the martyrs, of
their age, bat are the saints and heroes
of the ages which follow.
As a flagrant instance of proverbial
unwisdom and humbug, take the dis?
tich which has been dinned into the
ears of unnumbered generation of chil?
dren:
"Early to bed, and early to rise,
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."
This is a terse and witty generaliza?
tion of the experience of a pastoral
community, where to get on in the world
it is necessary to work in the fields
from sun-up to sun-down. It has no
application whatever to town life. The
wealthy and wise men of town are men
who Work late and rise late, and as to
health, it is notorious that no part of
our population 30* suffers from all man?
ner of diseases as farmers and their
families. Yet how many have been
deprived of their natural sleep by a
superstition, begot of this wretched
rhyme, that early rising is conducive to
health. It is only in recent years that
people have had the sleep which na?
ture demands. A man who did so a
generation ago was called "lazy"?the
most intolerable of all epithets, Frank?
lin even aimed a proverb at him : ''Men
need five boors sleep, women six, chil?
dren and fools seven." Now-a-days
the man who takes less than eight is a
fool.
Take some of the maxima inculcating
shrewd business policy. "A penny saved
is a penny earned," has ruined many a
man who could not persuade himself to
spend money with judicious lavishness
in enlarging bis business. The penny
saved was so large in his eyes that it has
hid the dollar lost by his foolish econo?
my. "Out of debt, out of danger," and
"better go to bed supperless than rise in
.debt," are a pecious pair ?hich have
"brought many to the pooih >use. Debt
is the only salvation of n, iny a man
Not debt recklessly incurred by extrav?
agant living beyond his mea ;s, but debt
incurred in the purchasing ? t a home or
establishing of business.' Where would
modern commercial affair^ be bnt for
credit ? But credit means nebt, for if A
trusts B, B must owe A. Dt bt makes a
man careful and saving who vould spend
all he gets if he had no pres ir-g obliga?
tions to meet. So he is lorsed, as it
were, in spite of himself, to provide for

Insf nietite Facts About Corn.
There are dii&renoes between yel
?low and white corn*, independent of the
color. The former con tarns more starch
and will make more whiskey'/ and is pre?
ferred for animal food where fattening
is the object in view. The latter' has
< more glutton and oil, and is almost uni
' vefsaTly preferred- for bread. As food
for horzSs, where nerve and bone nutri?
ment are more desired fchau' fat,' white
corn has the preference. Y?hite corn is
considered as coming nearer to oats than
yellow corn, aud is therefore better food
for working animals. So far as the re
salts of analysis are known white corn
has about 1 per cent, more of the muscle
forming elements than yellow corn, but
the relative value of the two varieties in
this respect has not been accurately de?
termined.
The corn plant iB one of the most
widely distributed, but every section has
& type best suited to its soil and latitude,
therefore the interchange of seed north?
ern and southern grown is not a safe prac?
tice if the distance to the north or south
is a long one. From east to weBt the
transfer may be longer. Corn planted
in the north from a southern deed grown
in longer seasons is almost certain to
?be caught by frost. The plant, however,
has the faculty of becoming acclimated
and ander a few years of cultivation of
adapting its growth and period of ripen?
ing to the seasons of the sections in which
it is grown.
Determined to Marry,
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 24.?Miss
Martha Morton, oixteen years old, passed
through Birmingham this afternoon, en
route to Cookville, Texas, to marry An?
drew Bynum. Her father, James Morton,
postmaster at Santry Mills, De Kalb
County, Ala., opposed the marriage, and
Friday night she ran away from home,
going to the home of her brother in-lavr,
Bill Siran. Her father pursued her, and
had a row with Sloan, which resulted in
Sloan shooting and killing Morton on
Saturday.
Meanwhile the girl, who had been in
hiding, procured a horse and rode fifteen
miles to Fort Payne, reaching there to
day, where she took a train tor Texas.
She became acquainted with Bynum
about a year ago, and he sent her money
to travel to Texas. Sloan, the murderer,
is a noted moonshiner.
? The most prominent "roform" that
waspromisod the people in the campaign
of 1890 was the reduction of salaries, so
as to make them correspond more nearly
with the price of cotton. Whatever rea?
son existed in the fall of 1890 for reduc?
ing salaries grew stronger up to the final
adjournment of tho Legislature. The
price of cotton continued to go down; but
salaries remained at the same old fig?
ures.?Newberry Observer.
? Much has been said of the expedien?
cy of restricting the acreage tho South
puts in cotton, with a view to a reduced
crop and increased price. A better idea,
according to Admiral Amnion, is to open
facilities via tho Nicaragua Canal, and
thus increase the demand for cotton at
fair prices. The Japanese and Chinese
Use vast quantities of cotton goods. They
are beginning to manufacture, and if
they could get Southern cotton via the
isthmus at lower prices than they now
pay they would go into cotton manufac?
turing on a greatly incroased scale. At
present they get it over the Canadian Pa?
cific Railway or via the Suez Canal

Baffled the Doctors.
Probably tbe most remarkable case in
tho history of tbe medical profession of
this or any other country was that of Lela
Compton, the fourteen-year-old daughter
of J. F. Compton, a farmer "who lives fif?
teen miles northeast of this city, just in
the edge of Spartanburg County. The
story is one of tho strangest ever heard or
read of and is vouched for by twelve
physicians and hundreds of people of
this and Spartanburg County. It is
told for the first time by the News, and is
direct from Mr. Compton and his little
daughter, who is now apparently as
healthy as any child. They were both in
the city yesterday. A Neivs reporter had
heard of the strange case many months
ago but refrained from mentioning it un?
til he saw the father and his daughter.
On tho second Monday in May of last
year Lela Compton was takea ill. She
didn't want to eat anything, but for a
week her parents tried to restore her
without sonding for a physician. She did
not grow any better and Mr,. Compton
sent for his family physician, Dr. White.
He said that the little girl had fever and
prescribed remedies, among them calo?
mel. Tho calomel made hor intensely
sick and instead of improving sho grow
rapidly worse. Two more physicians of
the same neighborhood wore called ra.
Each had a different idea of tbe disease
from which she was suffering arid each
would have prescribed different medi?
cines. Nothing appeared to do the patient
any good and she began to sob like a
chastised child. This continued through
the day, but at night would nearly cease
and she would sleep soundly until morn?
ing. She began to complain of pains in
the breast and stomach and her haad be
tran to jerk convulsively.
The physicians finally decided that
there was no hope for tho child. Other
physicians were called in, among them
Dr. J. R. Wilkinson, of this city. All of
them decided that the girl could not live.
The medicine and food which was given
her was not retained. By this time tbe
girl declined to take any more food or
medicine, saying that medicine would not
benefit her. She was a member of the
Church and said nothing but prayer
would help her.
Something over a month after she was
taken ill she complained of the light
hurting her eyes and it was not long be?
fore sho lost hep sight. For a while she
conld see objects but everything appear?
ed black to her. Then she began to lose
the power of spoech. Two months after
a physician had been called in all that her
stomach would retain was tbe juice of
watermelon and tbe water that melted
irom ice put in her month. For five
months she did not swallow a drink of
water. Her father bought ice by Ibe
; hundreds of pounds in this city. He did
: not give up hope and spent everything
that he bad saved and what he could bor
' row. The neighbors were kind and assist?
ed bim. Tbe death of the child was ex?
pected every day and every hour. She
had lain in bed'ninety-four days without
touching a morsel'of Ibod and for months
without being able to speak' oY's'ee. Her
sense of hearing remained'ahd' by signs
her parents understood when she' wan ted
ice or watermelon juice. The physicians
had attempted to keep up'lUe by inject?
ing French "brandy and cod liver oil.
One day after the girl had been ill five
['?months, breath seemed to leave her, and
fbe father, who was at work, was sent for.
The'safer preparations for burial were be?
gun. Not' a7 muscle of the child moved,
and there was* not the least sign of life.
She had been slot so long that her eyes
had sunk deep in her'behd, sores covered
hor body and she dltf riot weigh over
twenty pounds. The neighbors came in
to express their sympathy for the-' afflict?
ed family and oflfor their assistance,' The
girl remained in the trance, for wen it
was, for two hours. She heard the lambn
tations of her parents, the words of synor
pathylof friends, but she couldn't speakjor
move. Suddenly life seemed to return to
her and for the first time in months she
feebly muttered that she was hungry.
The father heard the mutterings. He was
rejoiced and asked bis child what she
'wanted. She said sho wanted some fish
and wanted everybody to pray for her.
Mr. Compton did not wait to get tho ad?
vice of a physician about giving tbe pa?
tient fish, but hurried to the Enoreo riv?
er. He met a negro, who gave him part
of an eel which he had caught. Mr.
Compton returned, had the fish-prepared
and gave it to his daughter. Sb? sucked
the juice from it and swallowod small
bits of the flesh. Strange to say, sho re?
tained this food. The little girl bsgnn
slowly to grow better and asked for and
wa3 given what she wanted. The physi?
cians still said she would not live. Tbe
father gave his daughter everything sto'J
asked for. As tho power of speecli re
turned the girl's sight grow better. The
power of opening her eyes, however, had
left her. but the lids were pulled open and
closad \>y her parents. They remained
in wi atever position they were placed.
Weeks passed and tbe little girl continued
to strengthen. Her sight and tho power
I of opening and closing tho eye lids re?
turned, and for two months she has
been in good health, but is still weak.
Hor long illness and tbe fact that her
limbs remained in nearly tbe same posi?
tion all tho time, made her legs slightly
deformed. She is now recovering from
vhis deformity. She does not feel any
bad effects of her strange illness and has
felt no pains for two months.
During her illness twelve physicians
visited her but her case baffled'them all.
Nearly every Sunday person?fr?m miles
around went to Mr. Compton'? homo to
learn tho condition of the chile? snd to
bear the most marvelous story tha's Had
ever been told them.
Before the little girl recovered, ono
large stone bruise on each heel caused
her intense suffering. Often before she
became speechless she said that she felt
something in her throat like a worm and
tried to reach her fingers to it to pull it
out. Her constant request was that she
be prayed for and sho believes now that
prayer and a merciful God restored her
to health.
She is a pretty little girl, apparently
uot over eight or nine years old, and
answered intelligently and pleasantly
all questions askod her by the reporter.
Money was left for her while sho was ill
and her father brought her to tho city
yesterday to,let her purchase what she
wanted, and she bought a handsome bu?
reau with it.
Several persons in tho city who had
hoard of her caso, gave hor presents and
she was told that when sho roturned to
town others would do likewise.? Green?

Storing Oranges in the Caves,
A very interesting discovery has beon
made by Mr. J. C. Briggs, of Russellville,
Ky., which, if experience verifies, will
revolutionize the orange trade of Florida,
and give it a much moro assured value.
The problem which confronts the orange
grower is the season at which the fruit ri?
pens and must be marketed.
If the supply over and above the winter
demand could bo saved until tbo warm
summer months and fresh juicy oranges
could then bo placed upon the markeS
there would be a ready demand which
would take all that are offered. This is
the very problem that Mr. Briggs claims
to havo solved. He stated at tho meeting
of orange growers in Jacksonville tho
other day that ho had been informed that
in order to keop oranges a long while it
is'necessary to store them whore tho air is
cool and dry. It occurred to him that
these are the characteristic qualities of the
air found in the caves of Kentucky. In
the Mammoth Cave, for example, the
temperature is about 52 degrees tho year
round, and the air is so dry that tho rem?
nants of the old wooden nitre vats seems
to bo almost imperishable. Acting on
this suggestion he had placed a quantitj'
of oranges and lemons in two caves, one
of which has a temperature of 49 degrees,
and is large onough to hold several mil?
lion boxes of oranges. In these caves he
has-kept oranges in perfect condition for
sixteen months and lemons for over a
year.
Mr. Briggs now proposes to furnish
storage in his Kentucky caves to Florida
orange growers, and enable them to mar?
ket their crop at any season of tho year
they find most profitable. If moro ex?
tended experiments verify those already
made by Mr. Briggs the orange industry
will take on new life, and'' the luscious
fruit will be a perennial bJessing'instead
of a winter luxury.?Correspondence of \

Is still at large; but our friends, appreciating our misfortunes, have cheerfully
rallied to our help, and for the past ten days our sales have exceeded our most san
guine expectations. But having three entrances to our Store enables us to accom?
modate the crowds that throng the "Broadway" of Anderson. We have now our
Stock replete with everything needed about home. The "latch string'*' of our?
" EVERYBODY'S STORE,"
Is still on the "outside"' and we will cheerfully "show you 'round." Don't forget
?two doors below the "Mammoth" Alliance Store.

At end of Tontine Period in 1891:
Cash Surrender Value, $8,449.45.
(Equal to ?170.10 for each $100

WHAT is it ? Well, they have adopt?
ed a new system of Washing, and
that is the "Pound System." This is the
fairest way of washing that has ever been
offered to tho people. The prices we offer
to families in our "Pound System" anyone
can afford to pay; in fact, in our opinion,,
it is the thing we have been wanting. Here
are our prices: We will rough dry your
clothes at 31c. per pound. We will wash:
and iron or finish all plain clothes at 5c
per lb. We will finish all starched goods
at 10c. per lb. The above prices are where
we take family work through and thiough.
These are the lowest pricif that have eevr
been offered by a Laundry. Try it and be
convinced. Stop the wagon as it passes
and give us your work.
