BUZZARDS FIND BODY. That of a Young Negro Discovered in Ditch. On last Saturday a negro named Murk living on the place of Mr. J. M. Green, about three miles from Cope, disappeared and although sev eral searching parties were out, nothing was found until on Wednes day some one noticed buzzards col lected near a ditch, went to see what was dead and found the body of this young negro boy in the ditch. The body had not. yet been attacked by by the birds, they having been at tracted there by the scent. The coroner held an inquest over the body Wednesday afternoon and a verdict was rendered that the ne gro came to his death from- natural causes, there being no marks or reasons for foul play to be suspect ed. The negro had been to Orange burg Saturday morning and while here got some whiskey, and it is thought that the heat and the whis key caused a condition somewhat like a sunstroke. It was noticed that he acted queerly when he was putting in the stock for the night, and some time later he was seen walking across the field. This was the last heard from him until his body was found Wednesday. A HOME WEDDING. Miss Daisy Hortzog and Mr. Mar vin Arant Happily Married.

The Cotton Growing Industry of South CaroUna Threatened With Great Injury. For the past few years there seems to have been a noticeable in crease in the distribution and prev alence of the disease known as wilt of cotton. It seems to be gaining foothold in every locality through the central and eastern part of the State and is doing inestimable damage. It seems, therefore, that it might be well to call the attention of the peo ple to what wilt is and to say some thing concerning the methods of eliminating it. Every farmer should become acquainted with this dis ease so that he can be on the look out for it and know how to com bat it in the future. We have had more inquiries concerning it this summer than ever berore, and it seems to be spreading rapidly in some sections of the State. We have had no less than a dozen inquiries within the last few days concerning it. Wilt is a fungus disease. It is caused by a minute vegetable organ ism?a fungus which gains entrance into the doots and stems of the plant and grows there parasitically. The vegetative portion of the fungus which is made up of numerous long, tiny thread-like filaments, grows through the tissue and interferes with the functions of the plant. These filaments get into the circulatory system of the plant and grow togeth er in such masses in the water ducts as to cut off the circulation of water and of sap. When this stage is reached the cotton plant necessarily wilts and dies. It is very easy to recognize a plant that is affected with or is dying from wilt. For aside from the ordinary symptoms which you would suspect where a plant wilts, very marked evi dence of the presence of the disease is found in the stems of the affected plants. If such plants are split open dark streaks will always be found extending through the woody tissue of the stem and root. These streaks are always very pronounced in the wood just beneath the bark. Other smaller discolored areas are found all through the roots and stems. These darkened areas are water ves sels of the plant which are filled with and plugged up by the growth of the fungus. The fungus which causes this dis ease is more hardy than the cotton plant on which it lives and continues to live and grow after the host plant is dead. It even lives over for sever al years on dead stalks and in the soil and remains ready to attack any plants as they come up. A field once infected, then, would remain so for several years. The fact, too, that the fungus which causes the disease lives in the soil and enters through the roots of the cotton makes it hard to fight. None of the given methods of fighting fungus pests, such as spraying, seed treatment, etc., will have any effect on it. So we have to resort to other methods. Now, plants like people and and like lower animals, have different tendencies. Some people are healthier or more resistant than other individuals, same is true of lower animals and true it seems to even a greater extent with plants. Some varieties of cot ton are more resistant to disease than others?, and in the same variety some individual stalks seem more resistnat than other individuals. The United States Department of Ag riculture has made use of this fact and has set about breeding disease resistant varieties of cotton. This has been carried on now for a num ber of years and they have had re markable success. They are not abR? to give us a variety of cotton which is practically immune from wilt. In order to help eliminate wilt from the cotton fields of the South and thus save to the farmers the two millions now lost annually from its effect, the Department of Agriculture has made arrangements for distribut ing seed of these disease resistant varieties among the farmers in the sections which are suffering from wilt. Samples of these seed can be had by writing to the congressman of the various districts or by writ ing direct to the United States De partment of Agriculture at Washing ton, D. C. As pointed out above this is the only method of eliminating the dis ease and those who are suffering from it should not hesitate to secure and plant the seed of the resistant varieties in the future. The Dixie and the Dillon are probably the best of these varieties. Care should be taken to prevent the spread of the disease. Where :t only occurs In one or in a few places on a plantation, every precaution should be taken to keep the unaf fected fields free from the diseas". Water should not he allowed to drain from diseased fields on to land where the disease has never occurred. All plows and other implements should he cleansed before taking them out of a field where the disease occurrs. Anyone who is in doubt as to whether bis cotton is affected with the disease or not should during the growing season send specimens of the suspected cases to the Divison of Botany of the South Caraolina Ex periment Station for examination and identification. We are always glad to receive such specimens and to get in touch with the people who are suffering losses from this and other diseases. We keep on hand franked tags for use in sending in diseased specimens and will gladly send some of these to anyone who COTTON REPORT, Good local spots Friday were quoted at 12 cents.

Mr. Thomas Purse, of Springfield, Died Last Thursday. Springfield, July 8.?Special: At twelve o'clock today, the last message was taken by Mr. Thomas Furse, railroda and telegraph agent at this place. The instrument clicked, the message was taken, and by a swift winged messenger, delivered in heaven. For the past five years Mr. Thomas Furse has filled the position of rail road agent here for the Southern Railway Company, and during that time has made many friends in this community. On the night of June 22, Mr. Furse was stricken with paralysis. From the first, it was feared that he could not survive the dreaded disaster that had so sud denly come upon him. He was attended by Dr. Phillips, assisted by Drs. Odom & Jones. The deceased was horn fifty-two years ago in the lower part of Barnwell county. He was a son of Rev. J. B. Furse, a noted Baptist divine in his day, and his son lived and died in the faith of his father. Mr. Furse was devoted to the interests of his church, and liberally supported all of the institutions of the same. In early life he married Miss Car rie McTeer, a member of that well known Hampton county family, who, with three daughters and one son, survive him. His daughters, Misses Rota, Annie and Lillie, are at home; while his son, McTeer Furse, is a student at the South Carolina Uni versity. Mr. Furse is also survived by two brothers a':d one sister, Mr. J. J. Furs*, of Barton, S. C; Mr. W. R. Furse, of Trenton, S. C, and Mr3. A. P. Davidson, of Ridgeland, S. C. His entire family, with seve~*l members of his wife's family, were with him when he died. Mr. Furse was a member of Spring Field Lodge No. 49, Knights of Pyth ias, who have taken charge of his body and will send a negation o t.'ie eld Ebenezer C'-.neterv in Hamil ton county, where his body will be interred tomorrow evening. For many years Mr. Furse haJ been in the service of the railroad company, and we one of their most faithful agents. The desire of his life was to com plete the education of his splendid family of children, but just before the consumation of his fondest dream, the wires called "F," and as be carefully took the message, the instrument paused for a moment; then came the well formed command, "Deliver same, at the gates of heaven" and he was dead.

MORE MONEY GIVfcN IN THIS STATE FOR FARM DEMONSTRATION W ORK. Special Agent? Will Go From Farm to Farm This Fall Giving In formation. Mr. J. P. Campbell, of th* Wash ington office of the United States farm demonstration work arrled in Columbia Wednesday for a confer ence with Commissioner Watson and Prof. Ira W. Williams, the State agent for Soirh Carolina of the farm d^LToust ration work. The annual appropriation for farm demonstration work in the United States have just been made by the General Education board and Mr. Campbell i.rought the exceedingly gratifying news that in making the annual appropriations for the fiscr.i year r '.'09-10, an increase had hejn a:!oweu this State of about $4,000 ?>r $3.000. The situation in South Carolina was thoroughly gone over with the result that this fall this valuable United States demonstration work, practical work with the individual farmer by special agents going form farm to farm and giving specific in structions for the betterment of farm ing methods, will be so extended that every county in the State, with the exeception of seven, will be under this work another crop season. Only the territory where drainage is so badly needed and the agricultural industry amounts to but very little, will be omitted during the next crop year. While the appropriations for some of the other Southern States are perhaps larger than South Carolina it is a noteworthy fact that practical ly this entire State will be covered during the coming fiscal year, while with the funds available not more than one-half of the territory in North Carolina, Georgia and Virgin ia, for instance, will be covered. Dr. Knapp has been much pleased with the earnest suport given by the State department of South Carolina and by the people of the State them selves, so much so, in fact, that he has insisted on the broadest expan sion of the work in this State, not withstanding no State aid has been given as in other States. The results obtained have been most gratifying to the office in Washington. Further more everything that has been ac complished in South Carolina has been done since the season of 1907, when the work was first introduced here by Dr. Knapp at the earnest request of the State department and upon its assurance that the people of the State would welcome it and shftw /substantial results. During the past two years a most remark able headway has been made, as has been shown by greatly increased statistics, in diversified agricultural crops, and much of this has been due to Mr. Campbell, who was here as State agent for some time before being called to Washington, and to his predecessor, Dr. Harrow, now at Clemson college, and to the earnest, active State agent who now directs the operations of the farm demon stration agents in South Carolina. Among the counties which will re ceive the extension of the work this year are Oconee, Pickens, Greenville. Spartanburg, Florence, Marion, Bam berg, Barnwell, Edgefield, Saluda and Abbeville. The men who will be agents have all practically be de termined upon. Commissioner Watson, in speaking of the gratifying increase of the ap propriation and development of this work, said: "I am of course deeply gratified at this manifestation of ap preciation of results that has been shown by Dr. Knapp. Our people have taken most kindly to this prac tical result-giving method of devel oping the agricultural industry, and we have made most marked head way under it. It is particularly grat ifying when we conside: that up to the present time the State has not been asked for any supplemental ap propriation for the conduct of tin work. such as is being given in othe ? States where this work is being pros ecuted, nor have our banks and other interested concerns made any sub scription to any fund with which to supplement the appropriation made from Washington. I have not asked the legislature for any appro priation of this character heretofore, because we wished to show what could be accomplished. The increase of the value of our corn crop from $17.500,000 in two years' time to $29.500.000 I consider a result that warrants this department in asking the legislature at its next session for a supplemental appropriation with which we will be able to in crease in every county in the State, save the seven that must be omitted for tlie present, to full time county agents. In a number of counties now in operation the agents can only be employed for so many days out of the week, and this will lie true under the extension next year unless the State, by direct. contribution, and banks and other concerns by subscriptions, supplement the fed eral funds, thus enabling the State agent, to put all of these counties un der men devoting every hour of their time to tlie practical direction of in dividual farms throughout the Stale. Bvery bank in South Carolina could afford well to Rive a small subscrip tion to supplement this federal appro priation and Increase the efficiency of work that mak"s increased pro duction and consequently increased wealth In the farming districts by which each of them would materially benefit. The State legislature could easily afford to spend a few thousand dollars when it means so much to the increase of the taxable values in the State, and I hope at the next session some such action will be NEWS FROM BOWMAN. Too Much Rais Caosing Disccurag ing Outlook for Farmers. Bowman, July 9.?Special: After some days of hot scorchiRg weather, a rainy spell has again set in, with yesterday and last night unseason ably cold. The precipitation was ex tremely heavy in several sections a'ound Bowman, and plowing is again at a stand still. The cotton crop had about rocovered from the backset given it from heavy rains several weeks ago, but it looks now as if the farmers of this section are doomed to a short crop of the staple this year. Very little cotton, as seen by your correspondent from day to day, has that healthy, vigorous ap pearance that it should have at this season of the year. A good propor tion of the crop has not been lacking for proper cultivation of the soil, and has been well fertilized, but still much more backward than it should he at this season of the year. The heavy rains now falling in this sec tion will necessitate later plowing than usual or much of the crop will be left in the grass. The chairman of the board of trustees continue to receive appli cations for the position of assistant in ;he graded school here. The va cancy was filled by the board last week and everything will be gotten in good shape for the opening of the school at the usual time. Mr. and Mrs. McMichael. of St Matthews, are visiting the family of Mr. L. J. Smith, of Bowman. Mrs. McMichael is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Smith and has many friends in this section. Misses Leila Gates and May Tilley, of Cameron, spent several days with the family of Prof. C. J. Rast, of Bowman. Misses Dot and Lucile Bull, of Providence township, are on a visit to the family of Prof. Rast. Miss Olive Bozard. of near Or angeburg, is spending a few days with the family of Mrs. Sallie Smith of this place. The Baptist folkB at and around Bowman are preparing for a "big day" here next Friday, the 16th, and invites everybody in reach who will, to come and bring baskets well filled with "goodies." The occasion will be in the interest of "Children's Day." Some good speakers have been invit ed to address the crowd and a day filled with much pleasure is antici pasted. Refreshments will be sold for the benefit of the church. "DUNDEE." HOW TO CONTROL THE FLIES. Keep Stables and Premises Clean of All Filth. W. F. Marsey in the Progressive Farmer says flies on the farm can he made much scarcer by keeping the stables well cleaned up. Then the woven wire screens are now made very cheaply and easily adapted to all sizes of windows, and wire screen doors fitted with springs to close quickly will also aid in keeping out flies and mosquitoes. The few that .get in caii he rapidly disposed of with one of the fine wire brushes I now sold in the hardware stores. [With one of these, the housekeeper can go around the room and kill Cvery fly on wall or window very rapidly. Especially should flhere he the closest attention to keeping out flies when there is sickness in the neigh borhood, and people are careless about, the wastes of the sick room. 1 called attention last year tn the fact that flies in the dining-room caused the outbreak of typhoid at the State Normal College at Greensboro, j and doubtless, many other cases of disease that puzzled people to find the cause, were due to the flies. Hence it is not only important for comfort to keep the flies out, but especially important as a preventive of disease. With a farm-house isolated from other buildings, it. should lie easy to prevent many of the flies that are usually found then by keeping tlie stables and farm-yard absolutely clean of manure, and getting it out where it will do good and not harm. Remember that they have horse ma nure and filth to breed in. and you do not. want these carried into your milk or other food. Some Neat Painting. The past few days Mr. J. C. Covar has had charge of the painting of the inner walls and equippment, such as shelves, etc.. for The Times and Democrat. The book store in con nection with the printing office was also given a neat brush up by the brush of this skillful painter. We commend Mr. Covar to any one who is desirous of having a job of paint ing done. Death of a (iood Man. Mr. W. A. Shuler died at the home of his broth, sr, near Four Holes, Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Shuler had been sick for a long time and the end was not unexpected. He was buried on Wednesday at Four Holes' burying grounds. Mr. Shuler was about fifty-two years of age and is survived by a wife and six children ? five boys and one daughter. Play PostjMined.
