Toward# the btter part eft his month
la one of the beat periods for sowing
grass aad clover. The heavy freeses
will be over and the abundant rains of
the early spring arefovorablp for start
ing oil the young plants. When the
seed are sown on growing grain there
Is danger of their being floated ofl by
heavy rains. It is well, therefore,
either to barrow the grain lightly be
fore sowing the seed, or else harrow
after sowing. The former is rather the
better of the two, as the seed will fail
into the barrow furrows and get below
tbe surfkee, if the harrow is run after
they are sown they may be covered
bat will not be below tbe general sur
face. Harrowing will benefit the
grain if it is done when the soil is in
good plowing order—neitiier too dry
nor too 'wet. On very rich or very
highly manured land it is well enough
to sow grass or clover on growing
grain, bat if the land is only moder-
erately fertile the grain will be apt to
draw too heavily on the soil to leave
orach for the young gross and clover
to feed upon. We prefer to sow 4hcse
on law unoccupied by any crop; they
will ootne forward and furnish cutting
or grazing much sooner than when
•own on grain. Orchard,herd or red-
top, tall meadow oats, blue grass and
common red and white clover succeed
beat, tbe redtop and white clover on
damp soils.
Preparation of compost licaps is now
In order, if not already attended to.
The longer these are put up before
their contents are applied to the soil
the better. Much of the material
which goes into composts must under
go decided changes before they can
furnish food to plants. Leaves, straw,
corncobs, corn stalks, cotton see hulls,
etc., must decompose from contact
with the more putrescible substances
with which they arc mixed. Such
things, by themselves, change very
•lowly, but the heat and chemical ac
tivity of a heap hurries them up, rooks
or digests them so to speak. All the
material at hand, horse, cow, pig and
lot manure, should be well mixed to
gether and with cotton seed and phos
phate. A real good compost, for cot
ton especially, cannot be made without
phosphates; they should form the basis
of every compost, because it is usually
tbe first important substance that be
comes exhausted in cultivated soils.
Nitrogen is tbe next; it is usually very
deficient in very old land, such as have
long been subjected to continuous cul
tivation. Cotton seed and manure
from the barnyard and stables will
supply it.
As a rule, the other substance need
ed by plants will be supplied by the
toil, but in some instances |>otash, as
in kalnit, may he added to advantage,
especially on light soils; and instill
rarer Instances, lime and magnesia.
We have so oiten given directions for
the making up andlreatmcnt of com
post heaps, it is hardly necessary to
repeat. It may not be amiss, however,
to urge that the materials be put in
pens about four feet high, and they
be thorouglply wetted and well tramp
ed. The larger tbe quantity of stable
manure used the greater tbe necessity
for wetting and tramping; these mod
erate t)>e beat developed and prevent
flre-fanging. Where much stable and
cotton seed are In a compost heap it
will be found necessary to wet them a
second time, for the beat generated
drives ont the moisture rapidly. Drive
stobs down in the mass and let them
remain ten or fifteen minutes, and if
upon withdrawal they arc more than
decidedly milk warm i>our water in
the holes mmic by the stobs. If there
is no shelter over the heap, the rain
may keep it damp enough, but they
should always be looked aticr from
time to time. Firc-fanging will drive
off tbe nitrogen of the manure and
cotton seed, and should never tc al
lowed to occur.
Heavy, washing rains may be ex
pected uuring during the next two or
three months, and measures to prevent
damage thereby should be taken at
ouoe. Ditches ought to be cleaned
out, and temporary furrows run, to
turn water from uuplowed surfaces,
away from those below which have
plowed. Incipient washes may be
checked by running such temporary
forrows with a largo plow just above
their starting points and by placing
turf, brush, etc., at intervals along,
especially at the lowest (mint where
they empty into ditch or stream. If
laud is terraced, rebuild and strength
en wherever the terraces have given
way. Instruct plowman when run
ning across washes to lift his plow and
not loosen up the bottom of the wash
if loosened the djrt will be very sure
to pass off with the next heavy rain.
It la good practice to stop and clean off
the plow every time a wash is crossed.
The ditching of bottomlands is often
deterred till this and next month.
Those who have not tried it are not
aware how much of this work can be
done with the plow, especially in large
ditches. A ditch six feet wide should
not be over two feet wide at bottom.
Now, with a good turn plow, the
larger tbe better, plow ont a “land”
six feet wide, repeat the plowing,
throwing the dirt away from the cen
tre each time. Having done this as
long as tbe plow can do any good,
throw out toe loose dirt with shovels

New Oslkaks, February 6.—A lit
tle over four ycara ago an association
was formed, called the "Cotton Con
vention/’ which meets annually. The
last meeting uas held at Vicksburg,
Miss. The present president is a Mr.
Moreliead. This convention recom
mended a World’s Exposition, to be
held this year at New Orleans, and to
be composed of delegates, appointed
first by members of Congress, two
from each Congressional district and
two from each county by the Gov
ernor.
The name Centennial Cotton Expo
sition is giveti for the reason that one
hundred years ago the first consign
ment of cotton was shipped to England,
and that shipment was made from
Clmrlcston, S. C. It is called the
World's Exposition because the whole
world was invited to send specimens
of art and industry, and when you
look at BiiytltJng that is hero on exhi
bition you wilt conclude that the whole
world is represented, and that every
county and State has sent the choice
lists of every product that the earth
and seas can produce, as well as every
thing that can l>c manufactured out of
the said products.
it is useless to try to describe every
thing; no description can he given
that would give anyone who lias not
seen with his own eye any idea of the
magnitude of the Eximsitiou.
I have visited thcAthnta Exposition
and thought 1 had seen a big thing,
but it don’t compare with this show
All that was at Atlanta couhi be put
away in some corner lierc and would
never be noticed. It is true that many
articles here on exhibit arc about tbe
same as might have been at Atlanta,
but every country in the world seems
to be represented here, beginning at
the Holy Laud and coming on down
all through Europe, Asia and Africa,
up through South America, Central
America and Mexico, and then all over
the Uniteu States.
Now Orleans contains over 200,000
inhabitants, and the Mississippi River
is over 3.000 miles Ion?, and has
numerous branches—Red River Arkan
sas River, Oldo, Tennessee, Cumber
land and Missouri—all long rivers and
all running steamboats to this place,
which altogether briivgs people here,
at cheap fare, from all over the United
States, which will soon make this a
crowded city.
I don’t expect the Exposition will be
closed finally before June, 1HHG. There
will be a recess for tbe summer, but
next October it will be opened again,
and no doubt with increased magni
tude.
if a man or woman has not the cash
to travel all over the world they ought
to try to cone bore, as I am sure as
much can l>c seen here in a few weeks
ns could be seen by traveling every
day all over the world in five vears.
1 might say a whole ordinary lifetime.
I have heard some complain that
living here is too expensive; but un
less the visitor wishes to put up at a big
hotel, he need not pay over per
day. A furnished room, large enough
to hold four persons, can be be rented
for $2.00 per day, and there is no city
in the world where better meals can lie
got at moderate prices. j.

heard with great interest by all pres
ent.
The question the came up, as. to the
adoption of the amendments made to
the constitution at a recent meeting of
the National Grange relative to the
eligibility of members of the State and
county Granges. The amendments
were agreed to.
A motion was then mtidc and unani

the Slate Grange of South Carolina
heartily endorses the action of the
National Grange in regard to the
recommendation of the appointment
of tlift Hon. 1). Wyatt Aiken to tbe

Dr. J. L. M. Curry, of Richmond,
Va., Superintendent of the Peabody
Fund, delivered an address on Sun
day evening on the “National and
Christian Elements of the Southern
Problem,” at the Clinton Avenue Con
gregational church Brooklyn. He said*
Twenty years have passed siime the
battle and surrender of Appomattox.
It is a brief period to Christianize a
race. The Saxons remained in bond
age for centuries. Feudalism is still
extant in Europe. Less than three
centuries ago the negro was liberated
from barbarism and despotism. He
was bought by so-called Christian peo
ple. In 1800 the slaves of the South
were the most civilized negroes on tlie
face of the c&rtii. But slavery shot
them out from schools and proprietor
ship and all the noble influences of
properly controlled ambition. But
they have progressed rapidly since
then. Nearly a million of colored
children are enrolled in the schools of
the South. There are numerous nor
mal schools, law schools, medical
schools and colleges devoted to the
education of the negro in the South.
The education of the negro is for us
the problem of the century. Much is
being done for these |>copJe. As a
Southern man I feel it a high privilege
to thank the Northern men and women
who have so bravely labored for the
solution of this problem- Your inter
est finds abundance of evidence in the
industrial schools established through
your efforts in the principal cities of
the South. I know of nothing which
will remove sectional animosity so
completely as a copartnership in' the
spread of the Gospel and of education.
I know of no reason why to-day the
North and the South should not labor
hand in hand and heart to heart in this
glorious work. Why should the South
not desire the education of the negro?
Wc are united to them as arc Siamese
to one another. A Northern newspa
per charges that the South is opposed
to the education of the negro. It is
false. Only last vear the whites of the
South paid $14,000,000 of $46,000,000
expended for educational purposes—
paidR out of their poverty and bank
ruptcy. Nothing was said’ about de
priving the negro of the advantages of
an education when that fnnd was col
lected.
I have heard much of the
apt!
it will not be through “Confederate
Brigadiers,” although Hampton and
Gordon and Colquitt are onr best.
God forbid that I should say anything
to reflect upon them. It will not be a
triumph of secession or of slavery.
Only contemptible politicians make
capital of this, and they wear no gar
ment but a. bloodv shirt. The van
quishing will not be in giving exprae-
sion to exploded ideas or dead issues.
The victory will be, if victory ootnes,
iu quelling prejudice, in lifting our
selves to a piano of Christian love,
helping the lowly to acquire intelli
gence, self-respect, true manhood and
true womanhood. This victory will
prove that poverty and defeat were
divine blessings if they bring out hero
ism and courage, and patriotism and
nobility of spirit.

SECOND DAT.
A Her the reading of the minutes of
the previous iIjii’h proceedings the
following additional delegates report
ed to the secretary:
Spartanburg—Mr. and Mrs. W. R.
Lipscomb.
Darlington—A. W. Burro*, Mrs.
A. W. Prrott, G. Hoffinevcr.
Orangeburg—W. F. Barton.
Marlboro—T II. Bethea.
The Secretary's report was then read
in which tic stated that “there have
been more Granges organized duritig
the past year than during any one
year for several previous years. The
deputies for Darlington and Kershaw
counties have been the most success
ful. The Granges which have been
organized during the past year are the
Packvillc Grange, Kershaw county;
Oakland, Kershaw county; New
Home, Darlington county; Union,
.Clarendon county; Central, Williams
burg county; (Judes, Williamsburg
county: Green Spring, Kershaw coun
ty. Besides these the following
Granges have been re-org&uizc4: Mott
Clarendon county; Pleasant Grove,
Greenville county; Graham, Wil
liamsburg county; Grassy Pond, Spar
tanburg county.”
The secretary’s report was referred
to the committee on finance, after
which the treasurer’s report was call
ed for and read. This report, which
was also referred to the committee on
finance, showed that the fluids in the
treasury at the present time are $231,-
09.
The committee on the Worthy Mas
ter’s address made their report, iu
which they recommended the adop
tion of the following resolutions;
li Resolved, 1. Thai tt is the sensp ot
this State Grange that summer meet
ings wonld greatly enhance the pros
perity of our Order, and be of much
benefit to Patrons individually and
collectively.
“2. That our Worthy Lecturer be
requested to submit for the considera
tion of said summer meetings such,
questions, the discussion of which, in
his judgment, would tend to make the
actiqn of the agricultural classes more
uniform in remedying existing evils
and the building up and strengthening
of our Order, and that the columns of
the Cotton Plant be used for that
purpose.
The report was unanimously adopt
ed.
The committee oiT the fertilizer
“combination” reported that there had
been a "pool,” but no combination
hurtful to tbo farmers. Received as
information.
The Worthy Master then appointed
the Grange Representatives in the sev

Washington, D. C., February C.—
Only twenty-two working days remain
to the Forty-eighth Congress. If we
take into consideration the amount of
work yet to be done and the slow pro
cesses by which it is accomplished,
this would seem but n short time.
However, by holding evening sessions
and “choking off” long-wiuded ora
tors an extra session may be avoided.
The general impression has been that
the present Congress will get through
witli all necessary legislation by March
4, and that the President-elect will be
allowed the qniet of a congressional
vacation in which to shape fti© policy’
of his administration. However, the
extraordinary course of the Republi
cans in the House on Saturday, insist
ing upon unlimited debate on the river
and harbor hill, has shaken this opin
ion somewhat, and is by many thought
to indicate an intention to force an
extra session. This idea i* strength
ened by the fact that previously the
Republicans of the House have always
been in favor ot pushing the river ami
harbor bill through witli ns little de
bate as possible. It is to be hoped that
the general sentiment of the country
will prevent a repetition of unneces
sary delays and that there will be no
occasion for the convening of the For
ty-ninth Congress until the regular
time for its organization—December 1.
“Who will form Cleveland’s Cabi
net” is, of course, a favorite topic for
speculation in Washington. Wild con
jectures are indulged in by all parties
—from the politicians at the capitol to
the newsboys on the avenue. The
mere fact that a Congressman is absent
from the city is sufficient to start in
circulation a dozen wild rumors, which
quickly find way into the daily pajiers
under lluming head lines. Speaker
Carlisle was in Albany on Saturday at
the special invitation of Mr. Cleveland
To this, and the recent visits of Sena
tor Bayard and Garland and Rcpre
sentntivtf Randall, Cabinet makers niul,
newspaper men attach great signifi
cance. No doubt the meaning ntu,
only meaning of these ami other simi
lar visits of other rcnrescirtative men
is that Mr. Cleveland desires to meet
and to know the opinions of prominent
Democrats before shaping his policy.
Who will compose his Cabinet is yet a
mystery. The only plan is to wait
and see.
As iho time for a change of admin
i-i ration draw s near the de-ire to learn
what will be the policy of Ihe new
President on civil service reform
grows more intense. This is especially
the case among two classes of people—
office-holders and office-seekers. Cleve
land’s recent letter on that subject
though plain enough, does not seem to
satisfy either cla-s. Iu the city there
arc nearly l.>,000 persons in the gov
eminent employ. The majority o
these are, of course, Republicans, and
arc, naturally, occupying the anxious
bench. Mary of them place confidence
in Ihe civil service laws, l»ui Ihe ma
jority, putting no fnilh in Cleveland’s
action as Governor of New York or
his letter on civil service reform, seem
to think that every means will (>c taken
to avoid the law. The other class
(office-seekers) arc just how h source
of great annoyance to persons likely
to have iulliiciicc with the coming ad
ministration. Congressmen each day
receive huge bumljcs of mail from
persons seeking various positions un
der the government. There is a grow
ing struggle between the office-holder
ami the office-seeker, and the Con
gressmen being frequently the medium
through which each desires to effect
his purpose, is worried out of his wits.
Preparations for the coming inaugu
ration arc rapidly progressing. The
various committees are energetically
working to make the event a success in
every particular. Notwithstanding
the occasional rant about “Jeffersonian
simplicity,” the arrangements show
that the ceremonies will surpass all
previous inaugurations iu magnifi
cence. Extended provisions are being
made to accommodate visitors. For
the benefit of parties who contemplate
visiting Washington on the 4th, we
would state that by writing before
hand to the Inaugural Committee of
Public Comfort they may obtain com
fortable accommodations at reasonable
prices. Parties conferring with tbe
committee should state the number of
days they intend to remain and the
prices they expect to pay for room and
board.
Mr. Cleveland has secured rooms at
the Arlington Hotel, which lie will
occupy prior to inauguration. Mr.

the most indubitable evidence as to the
cure of Cancer by their famous medi
cine, 8. 8.8. Among others, John S.
Morrow, an old and highly esteemed
citizen of Florence, Ala., makes the
following statement as to the merits
of this remedy:
“1 have been suffering with a Can
cer in my right ear, for about three
years. I tried various remedies and
was .tresiedf with Iodide-of Potash
which produced Rheumatism. My
feet and legs were-greatly swollen, so
that I could not walk. About one
year ago I was induced to try Swift’s
Specific, which soon removed the
trouble in my limbs, and my Rhcama
tism is now entirely gone and my
Cancer is steadily improving, being
better now than at any time within
two years. Tills medicine has done
me more good tlian anything else
have taken,and I feel that I am on the
road to a speedy cure. ■Undoubtedly
Swift’s S|>eciiic is the best blood pun
fier in the world.”

and foolish sentimentality,
ether or not, as Poo sakl, the truth
is everything in a biography, justice
has a supreme right there as elsewhere;
I do not mean the justice that is ex
pressed in verdicts, but that ideal jus
tice, which, however obscured, or lost,
or overborne, it may be, by the intru
sion of extraneous influences, is never
theless discernible in human affairs,
and brings about a certain consistency
in life and character. Shelley’s youth
was full of error, and at his death his
name was held in dishonor; but. the
nobility of his qature always remaining
nnilefilcd, ruin could not touch him nor
shamn live beside his grave. If Poe,
on the other hand, was the victim, he
was also the servant*-ho was tbe
poet, of the evil gods; and the same
consistency, the same JtWaF
working itself out to a different end, b
to be seen in his life as in Shelley’s. It
is not the career of a youth between
the ages of eighteen and twenty-five
that Eos been so minutely examined in
this paper; it is rather the sowing-time
ef a man of genius, whose harvest
S roved so black a growth that it is
ocmed hardly natural. But so far
from learning to credit any part of the
legend that strives to turn Poe into the
object of an exceptional fatality, one
rises from the exhaustive study of his
days from birth to death, with only the
more profound conviction that nothing
but a man’s own acts can plunge him
into the worst of life.—Allan-

As an outcome of the recent dyna
mite explosions in England, O’Dono
van Rossa, the Irish agitator, who is
supposed to have been working np
hostile feeling in American against (he
English government, was shot by
woman last Mondy evening on Cham
bers street, in New York city. The
shoo'ing took place at 13 minutes past
5 o’clock. Rossa was iu front of the
Stewart building on Chambers street,
when lie was approached by a hand
some young lady, dressed in plain
clothes. 8hc wore spectacles and had
the appearance of an intelligent-look
ing school teacher. She drew a five-
barreled revolver from her dress pock
et and leveling it at him fired one
sl^pt. Rossa threw his hands above
his head and cried, "I’m shot." He
then fell heavily to the sidewalk, l^e
woman fired tlie remaining bullets n
her pistol at the prostrate man, and
calmly and unconcernedly walked off,
with tlie smoking revolver in iter hand.
She was followed by a large crowd,
while stili a larger mob 'surroandea
tho wounded dynamiter. City Mar
shal James McAylcv, in the absence of
a policeman, saw tlie revolver iu tbe
woman’s hand and arrested tier. She
was condnctcd to tho 29th precinct
itationhonse in the city hall. Her im-
rtnrbable gravity and coolness of
etneanor were remarkable. Whew
arraigned at the sergeant’s desk, Mc-
Auley handed the revolver, a small
calibre five shooter, to the sergeant
and said he found the woman brand
