C. .'.lark Twain's secretary, a young woman, has gone to Europe, leaving a gap in the Twain treasury of $10, 000.' The South Carolina legislature should pass a bank depositors guar antee law when it meets in January. It is one of the Bryan reforms that has come to stay. Teddy will be in the race for presi dent in 1912, and he will be defeat ed by a Democrat, who will be sup ported by the malefactors of great wealth'.' as the lesser of two evils. The Washington Post informs U3 that President Taft's plau for a cor poration tax was first suggested by the Democrats in 1898. That is cor rect. It was suggested by Bryan. The Times and Democrat is under no obligations to any oplitician in or out of office, and never intends to lie. It is published in the interest of the people, and it is to them it looks for support. The article on the use of cotton bagging by Harvie Jordan of Georgia which was published Thursday, was one of the strongest arguments for a change In the method of baling cot ton that we have ever seen. This country will never become prosperous permanently until the government quits holding up ninety five per cent of the people so as the other five per cent can rob them through the- protective tariff. The Spartanburg He.'ald says the ''members of congress who have been so loud-mouthed and columinous in their advocacy of forest preserva tion cannot reconcile that position with advocacy of a duty on lumber.' The myth that Gov. Brown, of Georgia, who was recently inaugurat ed, wore on that occasion a suit of: j. ans, is creeping into history. Be fore it goes any farther, we take the I;! erty of saying that he did nut do any such thing. Our only reason for halting this myth is that we have enough to contend with already. Editor Hugh Wilson, who has edit ed the Abbeville Press and Banner for fifty year.- or more, has retired. H ? carries with him the best wishes of all the editors in the State t>w complete happiness while he so journs here and an abundance ou entrance into the better laud when life's fitful lever is over. No longer can there be marriage in the State of Missouri between white persons and Chinese, Japanese o: other persons of color. The gov ernor has signed a bill passed by the legislature prohibiting such marriag es. If South Carolina has no such law, one should be passed at the next session of the legislature. Senator Bailey say- the tax on lumber i.-. a good thing. Senator Tilinian says it is a tax on every farmer who has to buy lumber to build a house, a barn or a fence. Who is right? Senator Tilinian. or . ? Texas Senator, who came very r ear being defeated for being too friendly with tie- oil Trust? Senator Bailey repudiates the Democratic doctrine of free raw ma terial. It i> charged that he has taken this position in order to re ; -.in the friendship of the cattle kings of his Sta'e. who insist on having a tax on 'hides. These Texas cattle ki'.igs have great political influence, and that accounts for Bailey's change of heart. Ex-Governor Douglass, of Massa chusetts, one of the largest shoe manufacturers in the world, says if the tax was taken off of hides the people of the United States would save thirty-six million dollars each year on their shoe bill. Senator Bailey shows how much lie loves the people by voting to keep the tax on bides, which puts millions of dollars ;?: the pocket of the Meat Backers' Truitt. A Washington letter to the Brook lyn Eagle says i' has just leaked out tint Bailey had a warm set-to with big OIlie James of Kentucky in the Democratic clc ik-roum the other day. He too* Bailey severely to *a*k for Iiis repudiation of the time l inored Democratic doctrine of free raw materials. He also sprung a speech made by Bailey when the Mc Kinley bill was under consideration in the House, in which the Texas man declared for free raw material. Bailey's entanglement with the trusts has made him forget the consumer. Edisou's Cement House. The announcement that Mr. Edison has invented a process for casting cement houses don't seem to be at tracting much attention, but it is a fact nevertheless. In the June number of the Cement World Mr. Edison for the first time gives the public the details of the work on which he has- been engaged for the past eight years, and which, with its drawings and illustrations furn ishes entertaining as well as instruc tive reading. Mr. Edison tells us that for eight years he has been at work upon the idea that suggested itself to his mind, of constructing houses of one piece by casting them in molds. The advantages of a house so built are obvious, but the difficulty lay in discovering a mixture suitable for this purpose. This Mr. Edison has discovered after years of experi mentation. This mixture has all the characteristics of a liquid, flows readily and fills all interstices and openings, and during this flow the heavier aggregates are held in sus pension so that they are distributed evenly throughout the mass. The time necessary for the pour ing of the liquid will be only six hours. Four days after the pouring the dismantling can be done. Six . lore days are allowed for the hard er ing of the concrete. The proper mixtures having been discovered the rest was easy. Flans were drawn for a house, and molds were made according to these plans. The mix ture was then poured into the mold, was removed and the finished house stood there. In this way a working model was produced which stands in Mr. Edi sou's workshop. He is now engag ed in making the molds for a full sized house. These molds are made in sections, and several hundred of them will be required for the house. They are of- cast iron about an inch thick with backs reinforced by ribs and flanges. When a house is to be cast they are assembled and locked together, and the cement mixture is ready to be poured. The house lor which the molds are now being made will be of two-stories and a half, with basement or cellar. Completed, with bathroom and plumbing, its cost will be about $1,200. It will be all in one piece, including roof, staircase, bath-tub I and floors, and it will be entirely of cement except the doors and win dows. Such a house will be water-proof, I rat-proof and vermin-proof. It will be fire-proof. It will be extmpt from the ordinary repairs required by all other kinds of houses. It will be the most sanitary house ever built, as well as the most comfortable to live in summer or winter. And it will be cheaper, not only in its first cost but much more so in the cost of maintenance, for these houses will be practically indestructible and needing no repairs. What a revolu tion these houses will produce in the manner of building houses in the cities, and in the lives of the people who live in them! As the Augusta Herald says "We are living in a wonderful age. in which new inventions and startling discoveries succeed each other so rapidly that an invention which will revolutionize an old order attracts only passing attention. Within the past few years the wireless telegraph has been invented and put to practi cal use: the automobile has come and taken its place as a permanent horseless vehicle; airships heavier j than air have made successful flights, and many other new inven tions of equally far reaching effect have been given to the world." The Danger in Flies. To warn people of the dangers of Hies, and to show them how to get :!d of the pests, tin- Chicago aeaUll deprrtmeut lias issued a bulletin, in which the pesky nuisances .u<; (called all sorts of bad names. "Flies are the dirtiest and filthiest of ver min," th<- bulletin says. "They are born in lilth, live in filth and carry I tilth around with them, only to be scattered upon those whom they tounch. Now is the time to build your lines of defence. Prepare to fight them as you would wild beasts seeking your life." A good tly poison, not dangerous to human life, the bulletin adds, is a solution of bichromate of potash, one dram dissolved in '2 ounces of water ami sweetened with a little sugar. I'm some in shul'ow dishes and place throughout the house. Another is cobalt chloride, one drain dissolved in :! ounces of water, plac ed in shallow dishes as above. To dean rooms in which there are large numbers of Hies burn pyrethrura pow der or blow black Hag into the air of the room. These do not kill tin.' Hies; they are merely stunned and fall to the floor. They must then be gathered up and destroyed. Seven different varieties of (lies are found in our houses, US per cent of which are represented by the com mon house tly. Flies lay their eggs only in fermenting or decaying sub stancos?by preference in horse man ure. Hence, as a writer in Harper's Weekly poiuts out, every stable is a center of infection unless periodical ly disinfected. The fly maggot is also hatched out in latrines rund ash-pit refuse, such as bedding, straw, rage, paper, scraps of meat, fruit, etc., on which substances the larvae subsist after they hatch, which occurs in about twelve days after the egg has been laid. It is estimated that a single fly, laying 120 eggs at a time, will produce a progeny amounting to sextillions by the end of the sea son. The t:umber of bacteria upon a single fly have been proved to range all the way from 550 to 6.000,000. The average for 414 flies which were examined at the agricultural expe riment station at Storrs, Conn., last year, was 1,130.000 bacteria apiece. This represents about the number of i > I bacteria that enter the human sys tem when one swallows a glass of liquid into which some fly has per haps fallen to he removed by a slov enly waiter without the liquid being thrown away. Free Silver Again. Mr. John Hayes Hammond, the celebrated engineer, recently paid a viyir to Denver, and while there made a speech at a luncheon given by the Chamber of Commerce. Among other things Mr. Hammond said: "One of the things that will help Colorado and the entire Rocky moun I tain region is to restore bl-metallism. The silver question that many have thought a dead issue for the last few years, is causing more serious discussion than ever. The great financiers want to restore bi-metail ism Jas. Hill is taking an interest in silver, as are other great men. There is now :>.'< work a committee endeavoring to bring around the con I dition whereby silver will be restor ed to its place. Because of the present gold standard and the rate of exchange, the United States and England are getting the worst of it in the Oriental trade and if we wish to continue our commercial suprem acy we must restore bi-metallism." In commenting on the speech the Denver News says, "It was the cause of considerable comment after the luncheon and many were there pres ent who think that if Mr. Hammond is not the real leader of the move ment to restore bi-metallism,. he is at least cognizant of the fact that the great captains of industry are beginning to realize that something must be done to uphold American I commercial supremacy in the far East and the solution is to restore silver to its proper place." It looks like Bryan's advocacy of the free coinage of silver is being endorsed by the Republicans, who will eventu ally steal that plank from the Dem j ocratic platform of 139G. A MAGIC WORKING PLANT. The Cowpea, Which Enriches Impov erished Lands. The cowpea is a child of the South, a lover of the sun, shrinking away at the first breath of winter or the slightest touch of frost, but grow ing green and fresh and vigorous, lifting new leaves toward the sky, sending out new tendrils in all di rections through all the heat of the long fervid summer days, says the Progressive Fanner. And when the soil has become warm and the breez es stir lazily with their load of sun shine, how rapidly it grows and how quickly it changes the bare stretches of up-turned earth into swards of tangled verdure, dense, deep-glowing, fruitful, full of promise. Ah, wonderfully full of promise; For the slopes over which the cow pca has grown are not only rich with the food of herds and flocks, with potential fat porkers and ripening steers, liberal-uddered cows and frol icsome col's and calves and lambs and pigs growing through all their days of rich-fed contentment into early and vigorous maturity. They yield also a stranger and more sig nificant fruitage. Wherever the cow pea grows there follows?as if in some iale of magic from past cred ulous years?a soil richer and more productive for all that has been tak en from it. Those fields where the cowpea grew and spread and fruited and fed j the hungry stock are, by reason of that very fact, ready to grow corn taller and greener and more heavily laden with drooping ears; harvests of ripening grain, deeper and of rich er hue; cotton more beautiful cov ered with the snowy locks whose whiteness commerce changes into gold, it is one of Nature's every day miracles of goodness that this plant should reach into the air and gather from it the ethereal food that, is to feed future harvests, and through these ha vests the beasts of the field, and man himself. Truly, we of the South have de spised the precious gift bestowed us ' - 'he magic-working plant which, like the raided fountain of youth, re I stores and refreshs and re-fertilizes our soils, bringing to even the aged and long-barren fields a more than virgin capacity for frnitfulness?the opulent friend that with inexhausti ble liberality offers to the farmer on one hand the richness of its own pro ductivity and on tic other the more abiding Wealth of an increased fer tility of the soil from which i's sus j tenance was drawn?Raleigh (X. j C. I Progressiv?! Fanner. The Law's Belays. I "I understand thai yon called on the piantiff, .Mr. Barney. Is that so?" questioned Lawyer Fuller, now chief j jusi ice. says Success. I "Yes," answered the witness. "What did he .say?" next d??ninnd ed Fuller. The attorney for the defense jump ed up to his feel and objected that the conversation could not be admit ted in the evidence. A half hour's argument followed and the judges re tired to their private room to con sider the point. An hour later the judges filed into the court room and announced that .Mr. Fuller might put his question. "Well, what did the plaintiff say, Mr. Barnes0" "He wern't at home, sir," came the answer without a tremor. Pointed Paragraphs. After a man gets one bite he wants the rest of the apple.

Starch will be prevented from "sticking" by putting a pinch of salt into it. The good we do is an excellent an tidote for the ill we think. POINTS ON THE SWEET POTATO. Interesting Bulletin Just Issued at Clemson. The South Carolina experiment station at Clemson College has just issued Rulletin No. 146 on "Sweet Potato Work in 1900," by T. E. Keitt. chemist of the station. After giving a review of the sweet potato investigation work at the South Car olina station, and at other stations, the bulletin makes a full report of experiments conducted there, the object being: (1) to show the con tents of fermentable carbohydrates and their utilization as. a source of alcohol: (2) to give information re garding the value of potatoes as a food stuff: ('*.) to obtain resu'ts as to the fertilizing elements removed from the soil by the potatoes; (4) to show the contents of water, starch, sugars, and protein at different stag es of growth: (5) to collect data as to the comparative yield of the va rious varieties, in case the manufac ture of starch from potatoes should assume any proportions. Some interesting facts about the sweet potato may be summerized as follows: Experiments show that the best distance to plant potatoes is about eighteen inches apart in row.* three or four feet apart, and have ap plication of potash in the form of kainit or sulphate, moderate applica tion of nitrogen in the form of ni trate of soda or cotton see:l meal, and a ?.iu.ll application of phospho ric acid. Two good formulas given for a potato fertilizer are : First. 500 pounds kainit. 300 pounds cotton seed meal. 2ii() pounds 16 per ceut acid phosphate; and second, '200 pounds sulphate of potash, 200 pounds nitrate of soda, 400 pounds 10 per cent acid. The first would cost about $16.T?0 per ton ond should be applied at the rate of 800 to 1,200 pounds per acre, because of its low percentage of fertilizing ele ments; the second should cost about Si!2 per ton, and should be applied at the rate of about '4 pounds per acre, preferably at the time the slips ars put out. Under favorable conditions a yield of about 200 bushels per acre can be counted on from soil which ordi narily woula produce 2<? tushels ot corn. These potatoes would contain about 2,000 pounds of starch besides a good deal of sugars, which add to their value as stock feed. The yield of 200 bushels per acre would re move about $8.60 worth of phospho ric acid, nitrogen and potash. As to varieties a comparison of fourteen varieties With regard io yield in per cent starch and in pounds per acre, shows that the per cent ranges from 13.5 in the yellow Nancemond to 2'i.S9 in the Shanghor yam; and that the yield per acre ranges from. 1,277 pounds of starch in the Arkansas beauty to 4,445 pounds of starch in the Southern queen, with the Brazilian as a close second, yielding -1.14S pounds. Feed stuff analyses show very high per cent of nitrogen free extract, which we in the South are short on. They can be fed to advantage to all kinds of stock from September 1 to January 1, after which, if they can be fed to stock profitably. Compari son with other root crops show a decided advantage in favor of the potato as a stock feed: and com parison of the vines with clover, peas, etc., show that the vines are not so high in protein, but higher in nitrogen free extract and other extract. The vines contain large percentage of fertilizing elements taken from the soil, but they can be left on the land or feed to cattle and (he manure (returned to add nnmus, thus improving the land in either case. A PERTINENT QUESTION. Will Von Pay for Nitrogen or (Jet It Free? ft is a question, says the Progres sive Farmer, whether the fanner will ; b-t nitrogen impoverish him or make I it help enrich him. Can any one con ceive of any good reason for buy ing at 20 cents per pound what he can get tor nothing?can even get paid for t.iking? For the legumes not only supply nitrogen, they make the finest reed for all sorts .of, stock; ami if one third the land planted in cotton wore leach year devoted to leguminous i crops, in five years there would not I only l.e more bales of cotton made at a much smaller eo?l per Imle. but there would also he more and hotter live stock in the South, better ere;.-; j of all kinds, i? wer bills to pay for feed and "supplies," more money i coming in and less getting out, rich er fnrnn rs and a more prosperous country. I The most prosperous farmers of I the South, almost without execption. j g"t their nitrogen by growing leg umes; the poorest ones get theirs I from the f>. ;;.;>.< r bag. One way leads to poverty, the other lends to prosperity; and it is for each man its cheese which p:.:h he v. ill travel. "Let's .Make It." At an experiment station the yield of corn immediately following a crop of crimson clover was in creased from !}.r?.7 bushels per acr? to r>.".l bushels, or over ">.4 per cent. Toe Froft.e&sive i'armer says with these facts, and hundreds of othets equally convincing before us, why do we buy commercial nitrogen, and why do we not grow more legumes? By the use of the summer legumes for making hay to feed to live stock, and the use o*! the winter legmoes for cover to plow under?by the^e alone?that -"$500 More a Year" ir easily within the reach of the aver age Southern farmer. Let's make it! A candidate stands on his party platform and his opponent jumps on it. HOLL WEEVIL COMING FAST. Cotton Post Has Reached Pike Coun ty, Mis?i-? piii. A dispatch from New Orleans, La., says a report that the boll weevil in its flight eastward, has reached Pike county. Miss., and that several specimens were found near Magno lia, that State, is contained in the Picayune's weekly summary of cot ton crop conditions in Mississippi and Louisiana. The pest appears to have gained ^n early start this sea son in the infested territory, and cases are cited where planters are abandoning weevil-ridden cotton and plowing up the plant. CATCHES HORSE BY HOOP. Driver Adopts Novel Method of Checking Runaway Animal. V*. B. Peden, of Peden Brothers, of Spencer, Ind., land owners, took an unusual and dangerous plan for checking a runaway horse. The horse had kicked off the dash board of the buggy, and was reaching for the driver when Peden, watching his opportunity, caught the animal by the hoof, and, sinking down in the bed of the buggy, hugged the animal's leg 10 his breast and held on until it had run for three block on three legs and stopped. Mr. Pe den was completely exhausted and fell .out of the buggy. .W TO DASHES DOWN' MOUNTAIN. One Killed, One Fatally Injured and Two Hint. A dispatch from Wilkesbarre.
