No Man’s Land, once toe refuge of criminals in the Southwest because non.* of the suirounding State or Ter ritorial Courts had jurisdiction over It, has been changed into a rich agricultu ral and stock country. This reforma tion is due largely to 40 resolute women who are now iu charge of the 3S public schools of Besver County. Severn of these young women teachers met and organised the 1’anhaudle Cattle Com pany* t^e Intention being to Invest their surplus earnings from teaching in the cattle buainesi. The 40 young women in that territory will join lu this enterprise, 30 of them have taken claims of |160 acres each on the Beaver River and will Mil the soli in summer and teach in the winter. The women receive 130 a month for teaching a six months’ term. Tne 40 teachers wH* earn $7 300 a year. On e-half of this amount is to be annually Invested in cattle lor the range, which is the tlu*»t the Ct-ntincnt. ,■ The «om« n eugi- 1 th>e tchecse have pledged each arry within live yi Held la lift Racer. On Friday a large portrait of the Hon. Anffoa PaUgrson wee presented hr hie ffrend children, tbrouffh Gov.

Angus Patterson in behalf of bis grandchildren permit me to sav that for a period of 33 years this gentlemen was a member of the Gen eral Assembly, four years In the House and ‘4i,ln this Senate and for a period of twelve years be was presiding officer 0/ this body and was elected every time he offered and only retired when his health waa gone, his life shattered and worn out iu the service of bis couhtry. Mr. Patterson Is said and truly to be the father of the Barnwell bar end was the fgrandfather of the dtilTngulibed' statesman and jurist who presides in the Second Circuit ef this State, Judge James Aldrich. Ib this and other Southern Btates there are many fami lies who are an honor and a credit to the State, who proudly cialm to be de- scendaritf of this noble man; Mr. Patterson was chairman 4 of the special committee to which was sub mitted the itaHtflcatlou ordinance for consideration and on that committee were such men as Chief Jnsttce Dun can, and in the House coffrfffKtee on ju diciary was William Preston and man of that stamp, while in the Senate Dun can and A. P. Butler were on-the judi ciary. U* Amidst the brightest statesmen whose splendor has been admired by succeed ing generations none stood higher for worth, noble attributes of manhood, bright Intellect and broad views as a statesman than Hon. At>gu« Patterson, loved and honored by nis colleagues and associates during his life and in his death our State cherishes his mem ory as one who has done more to ad vance the causeof Industry, peace, hap piness aud material prosperity, and now, sir. In behalf of bis descendants I beg tbe acceptance of this portrait, that It may bang on the wall of the Senate Chamber in which he so long and well presided. M r. « ordan seconded the resolution of acceptance. He pa'd a high and fit ting tribute 0) the name of the distin guished South Carolinian. He know many of the deecendants of Mr. Patter son and be bore testimony that they were an honor to whatever position they bad been elevated to. It was em inently proper for us to accept this por trait and place It upon tbe w alls of Ibis hall with those of other illustrious South Carolina statesmen. . BETTER BUTTER. From all tbe advantages of location, railroad faciillies, jfflmate, production, County her »y Barnwell ght to realize handsome Ac., possessed b good people oug! profits from the-sale of butter in the neighboring cities of Augusta. Char leston and Savmnuah. While tbe men ,msy go wild about cotton their better halves can provide abundance of pin money for their own uses sod a little extra to lend to their lords and masters from lighter bojne Industries. Our knowledge of such matters Is not to be depended upon, but Prof. Hart, In charge of the dairy of Clemson Col lege, and an expert In th*t line, gives this advice about making and market ing butter that will please the palates and bring out the pocket books of tbe city folks: v ' First, the milk should never be . .. - jr gold, i churned- only the cream. Skim the found none. Concluding that they had milk carefully—the' morning’a milk In the evening and the evening’s milk la the merning, and while It is undergo ing the rl|>eiilng process be sure that it does not become scalded—scalded but ter Is not worth more than G cents on a market where it Is to be sold on.Us mer its. When the cream is being churned use as little warm w'ater as possible. After the churulng take the butter off and wash U in cold water, putting R through two or three courses, or until the water runs Off clear and you are sure that not a particle of milk has been left In the butter, because If any milk la left, it will spoil the butter inside of three days. Next, work all the water out. Next, comes the salting process, and if you have complied with all other conditions you may fall here. First, take your lalt and pulverize it as fine as possible, by rolling It with » rollfng pin—the finer the better—and add one ounce of salt to 1G ounces of butter. After you have added tbe salt the two will weigh one pound* Now for the closing instructions: Make It luto 1G ounce packages—nhtl5 or 17—and use a mould. Do not, under any circum stances, put more than one pound of butter In a cake intended for market. Do not use any coloring matter of any kind. It does not increase the market value of your product and Is liable to Injure* the consumer. If your cow makes yellow butter you are to be con gratulated; but If sli* makes white, let It remain white. Cow peas, wheat bran, peameal ar.d vines, fodder aud shucks-make the best butter; but if you have no peameal or peas use bran and cotton seed but use tbe latter as sparingly as possible, especially during •fher, aa they Impart to tbe but- 8TORY OF A SILVER KINO. Alexander R. Shepherd began life In Washington, where he was born, with out a ornt. When he waa 3ft years old be had made a quarter of a million dol lars. After tbs war b« was appointed I'rsshlsnt of the Board of Public Works by I’reshJent Grant. Washington was then a grsat mud hols. "Boss" Shep herd made It In seven years the most beautiful city in America, spending over twenty five million dollars public money In making more than a hundred miles of beautiful streets, shaded by more than ten thousand trees, and In other Improvements. He found hhn- self more than s mllfion dollars In debt, with assets hardly egual to bis liabil- Klee. Fifteen years ago, with Indul- K nee of his creditors be went to Mex- », and engaged In silver mining. He has taken over u-n million dollars worth of silver from the mines owned by hlsconrpany and Is just about ready to run out ore at a cost of ten cents a ion. The company owns sixty one square miles of land rich In silver. Of the prosperity of Mexico In spite of the fact that It haa been coining for years silver st tbe rate of twenty two million dollars annually be says: "Mexico Is very proeperous, and that notwithstanding that for four years the ornpf have failed, and there hhs been considerable famine. This demoneti sation of sliver acts as a protective tar iff for Mexico. It keeps out foreign goods which are sold at gold prices by making thaw loo expensive, end the result Is that the Mexicans ere estab lishing all kinds of factories. It Is tbe seme In Japan, and will be the same In China. Tbe Japanese art now making most of their own cottons and China Is establishing cotton mills. We are, 1 think, likely to ruin oureelves If we keep up our present policy. We are trying to establish free trade, and, by our demonetization of silver are not cool we ter that Kick hat property whl to the roof of the mouth. it to UPLAND RICE. only admitting the goods of the silver free,o nstlous free, but are forclitg them to keep out our goods by the protection of gold. They have the cheapest labor in the world, and they are manofaetu- nng on a silver basis. They are sell ing' oil a cold basis, and they Will In time be the richest people of the world.” . ^ "I am In favor of both melali, and I think that the United States onght to be big enough to be able to control Us own currency. Silver ought to be used as money. This country could control the world In tjiat matter, and coffld force bimetallism on Europe within less than three months, 1 don’t care much at what ratio. Let us say we will use silver as money at the ratio of XOto 1, or even at 34 to 1. and within three months the great nations of Eu rope will be glad to adopt it at 18 to 1. They cannot help it. What is the status of gold and silver in the world to-day ? The gold is being gathered In •ad hoarded. Fiance has $780,9(10,000, Mach more than all the rest. She will not spend It, and she uses as her circu lating Medium silver, of which she has just about as much. Russia will not pay out an ounce of gold. She Is keep ing U with a view to a possible war, and France and Russia now to a Urge extent control the gold of The world. Germany U being eaten up by her army. Her people are patriotic and they stand the expenses, but this can not lait. Incan of such an action by Congress as I have proposed, England would be the first to come to time. "if we should adopt a silver basis, we would get the trade with Asia and Mexico and South America. VTe would have better wages, higher prices ‘ and we would put ourselves right to the front in the fight fer tbe business of the silver-using nations, which is to be one of the chief businesses of tbe future." WHAT TWO MEN HAVE DONE. Port Royal grows. From July 1803 to June 1804 inclusive the custom house there showed the value of Imports to be $7,545, value of exports $3,387,895. From July ’94 to June *95 inclusive the value of imports footed up $57,783; value of exports $5,770,742. This in crease of business is to be credited to two men, Receiver Aveiill of the Port Royal and Augusta Railway and Ed itor Rogers of the Port Royal Poet. wllklu years. A young lady walked Into a store, and after selecting a piece of cloth, ask ed wbat it wae worth. "Four klsMS per yard," said tbe pert clerk. "The young lady stood abashed fer a moment and replied that she would take fonr vards. The cloth was cut off, nicely wrapped up and handed to the fair pur- shaver, who received it with a smile, and said: rend tbe bill aroniid to my grandmother; she alii settle tt.” To raise upland rice cheaply and without much hard labor, you need ground or old fields which have grown up In broomaedge, for on old lands, the grass Is very d'.fflcalt to keep out, as the voting p ent is so much like it. This land should be well broken, and rows laid off about three Yeet apart. The grain should be planted on s small bed, so that the young plans may be culti vated before the grass begins to grow. In selecting your seed, be sure that you get tbs white variety, for the red, when cooked, looks black,and does not make a desirable looking dieh for the table. In planting, drop a few seed—twelve to flf.een In a hill—about every eighteen Uiebee. You begin your cultivation as soon as ihs young planU will allow, by giving it a hoeing In diMertoklll alt grata that may be ^up or coming up. As for the rest of the cultivation, it can be done chiefly with tbs plow, the chief object being to keep out the grass. One or two more chief boelngs may be necessary, as the case may require. When tbe rice Is ripe, which can be (old by the grains assuming a tan color, and by tbs turning of the stem, it should be cut, Med Into bundles and hung out to dry. To hang the rice for drying* place a pole upon forked sticks, as the ridge pole of s teat, end put tbe rice en this, pulling the head of the bundle open, and placing U head down wards, that the rain might be kept oet. When U U ttoon^gniy dfi It 1 dow n, heat It out and carry it to the hulier. If there is no huller conven ient. you should nut let this hinder you from planting, as you can very easily beat It out with a mortar and pestle Some people here, within convenient reach of a huller, pilfer lo beat theirs out In this manner. For the benefit of those who Jive In tbe hill country, 1 would suggest that, fortheflrst year, they plact a patch In lowland and up land, as Uil of our country here Is on s level, and I do not know In which It would do be*t.-<-C’uklvator. ■s good a Brigade.

The boys grew up and seemed moderately content. But for fear they should get the city fever, he invented a story. Death had given warning that he was not long for Mils world, ami he bad better set his house In order. 80 he called his boys to hts bedside to give them his blessing and also some good advice. He told them that there was a treasure hid in a cer tain field; that as soon as he was laid to rest they should dig for and find it. In due Mme the sons took their spades and worked over the land as it haffoev- er been worked before, but of hidden treasure, such as sliver or gold, they Mfg5|gjSfiSg2|j not gone deep enough they started In afresh, with tbe same result. Then they concluded thaf.aa the season was somewhat advanced, they would defer their search to a later time, and In the meantime plant and sow the land, which was now In tiptop order. Everything they planted or sowed grew marvelously fine. No one had ever seen the like lu that section. Fruits of all colors tfAd magnificent size and quality rewarded their labors. Starting with the berries, these were followed by plums, cherries, and then came the pears and apples, aud so on throughout the season.
