F. Garrison, commonly known as "Dock," died suddenly on Thursday last at his home in lower Steel Creek township. Though he had been complaining some, he was up and going about his business and was at church the day before. It was quite a shock therefore to his wife on returning to the house after a short absence to find him sitting in an arm chair on the piazza dead. From all indications he had been dead an hour or more when found WlQ rnmaino urovn at Flint Hill on Friday, the funeral being: conducted by his pastor, Rev, Edw. S. Reaves, assisted by Rev. R. G. Ken 'rick. Mr. Garrison was born May 22, 1847, and was the seventn son of Rev. J. M. Garrison. He married Miss Minnie Yarborough, who survives him. Of this union were born seven boys and six girls, of whom two are dead. In early life he professed faith in Christ and joined Flint Hill church, of which he was a most useful and consistent member up until the day of his death. His was a life of singular purity, piety and consistency. He was always kind, gentle and hopeful and had many friends, as was attested by the large congregation at the funeral, despite falling rain and threatening clouds. The verdict of everybody is that he was an exceptionally "good man." Record Rainfall For August. The rainfall for the month of August is far in excess of the normal, 1.68 inches having fallen from 8 o'clock Sunday evening to 8 o'clock last night, according to the records in the office of Weather Observer Bennett at the postoflice. The precipitation for the preceding twentyfour hours was 2.40 inches, a remarkable showing. During the past week the rainfall has exceeded 6 inches. If the show ers continue as they have for the past several days, all records will be broken and August will go down in history as the wettest ever recorded since the weather bureau establithed its station here many years ago. ? Charlotte Observer, Tuesday. Nine Baths For Cansler. Columbia, Aug. 24. ? Campaign expense statements were filed today by several of the candidates for state offices and more are apt to come this afternoon. The most interesting is that of Cansler of Tirzan who includes nine baths, at twentyfive cents per bath, three of them half or tub baths. Mr. Cansler also includes every shoe shine on the campaign, pressing his pants one time and $1.00 given to the blind. His total expense account is $221.05. Lancaster's First Bale of New Cotton. The first bale of new cotton marketed here this season was brought to town Wednesday by Mr. Roy Cunningham, the well known and successful young farmer of this vicinity, son of Mr. W. J. Cunningham, and manager of his father's model plantation west of Lancaster. The bale weighed 510 pounds and brought 113-4 cents, the Lancaster Mercantile company being the purchaser. Camden received her first bale Monday, for which only 10 cents was paid. It weighed 512 pounds and was raised by Sim Davis, a colored farmer in the Boykin section. Chester's first bale was received Tuesday and brought 101-2 cents. It was raised by Mr. J. G. L. White and weighed 575 pounds. The first bale in Monroe was sold here Wednesday by Mr. John A. Arant, of Chesterfield, for 10.55. It will be observed that Lancaster is considerably ahead of neighboring towns in first-bale prices.?Lancaster News, 22nd. The Oat Crop. Twenty years ago farmers made fine oats by sowing the red rust proof in the cotton rows in August or September. Then came a few cold winters and they were killed and the farmers quit that plan because they had no luck. They then tried the turf and grazing oats, which were frost proof; they were almost grain proof, too, for the yield was light, although the straw was good. Then, about ten or twelve years ago, the open furrow system of planting was tried with success in Georgia. It is said that there has been no winter severe enough to kill oats in Georgia or this State since that plan was adopted. Some farmers have raised fine | crops of oats by running the oat drill two or three times between I tbe cotton rows just after the first or second picking of cotton. ! In 86 inch rows only two rows ol j oats can be Dut in. If the rows 1 are 40 to '14 inches three rows may be run in. Of course that plan does not admit of any prep aration of soil. If the oats are put in very early and are quite j forward the first of December, they should be pastured down H'lhH m r ' '| - I "l 1* "* * Get it fresh Get if pure Get it clean Get it reasonable at Ardrey's Drugstore. j That is better than sowing no oats. The best plan, of course, i is to select such land as mav be well broken and harrowed and I the oats planted from October 120th to December 10th. Plant j the Appier or Southern red to insure a fine yield of grain. According to the land plant 5 to 8 j pecks to the acre. An excellent fertilizer for oats can be mixed ! thus: 600 pounds 14 per cent, phosphate, 100 ponnds muriate of potash, 300 pounds cotton seed meal. j Apply 200 pounds with the oats and then 100 pounds nitrate about i the time the oats begin to boot or when they are 6 to 10 inches high, and work with a smoothing harrow. The cost of the above fertilizer will be about $5,50 an acre and the yield ought' to be 40 to 60 bushels.?Carolina Spartan. ? While working on top of a house one day last week, Mr. ' Will Ashley, of Belair, fell to the ! ground and broke his leg. The i ; broken limb was set and he is 1 getting along as well as could be ' expected Mr. W. E. Smith. j of Fort Mill, spent a few days of last week at Mr. E. G. Yar; borough's in this community.?
