Despite ssuch that is certainly blameworthy in the moral make-up •f George Eliot’s character, *he is an intensely interesting woman, and the students of the high class novel reads her books not alohe for their last her mother?

There are very few novels more instinct with life and meaning, both in the sense of dis playing a matchless talent for the delineation of character evidently founded on close observation, and also in the half unconscious self- 1 revealment of the author, than ‘The pletely separated the ' brother and sister.

Even at that early age, it is said, she had the manners and appearance of a grave, staid woman. At this period, and extending perhaps until after the writing of “Adam Bede,” her greatest novel .wtrong religious feel ings ruled her life. Later on, and seemingly as the result of some evil destiny, she lost these as a con sequence of permitting her own self to wander from the path of moral rectitude. At the age of fifteeuMarian Evans appear ance has been thus described: “One of the images which recurs oftenest to George Eliot’s friends is that of the frail-looking woman who would sit with her chair drawn dose to the fire, and whose winning womanliness of bearing and manners struck every one who had the privi lege of an introduction to her. Her long pale face, with its strongly marked features, was leas rugged in the mature prime of life than in youth, the inner meanings of her nature having worked themselves more and more to the surface, the mouth, with its benignant suavity of expression, especially softening the too prominent under-lip and massive jaw. Her abundant hair,, pale brown in color, made a kind of frame work for her face; and her grey-blue eyes, under noticeable eyelashes, expressed the same acute sensitiveness as her long, thin, beautifully shaped hands. She had a pleasant laugh and fmile, her voice being low, distinct, and somewhat deep. It was intensely sympathetic in quality.” HACkER miFAUURINt • COUPANY, blCCEhSORS TO GEO. S.

LOCAL MUSICIANS INTERESTED IN OUR CONTEST. Among the contestants for the Kingsbury piano which we are offer ing, are a number of our local musicians. The reputation of the Kingsbury piano is such that it is natural that it should be considered a desirable prize by experienced people. This instrument was personally selected, by Mr. J V Wallace, Mana ger of the Cable Piano Company, at Charleston, S. C. It has a beautiful, rich resonantone quality and an elegantly finished case. Mr. Wallace says: “It is gratify ing indeed to us, to note the enthusi asm with which people are entering into this contest, and to see the ap preciation that they have for this high grade instrument. The time is rapidly passing when no one will be satisfied With any but a good piano.

The nitrogen in the seed lx coming more slowly available than that in the meal does nut afford as ready a stimulus to the young plants just after germinat on. which, of cour.se, is a disa 1 vantage. 'It has been shown by careful tests that forty hnsheM of seed when applied with phosphoric acid and potash ^d id not give as large a return ar meal applied with the aame constituents. In fact, the actual difference in yield was 120 pounds of lint per acre in favor of the meal, which at 15 eonts a pound repreaenta >18. According to many careful testa, 900 pounds of meal are equivalent to a ton of seed in ferti lizing value. Why hesitate to ex change the seed for meal, or, if the exchange has already been made, and the farmer is confronted with the necessity of securing more or ganic nitrogen, why not use cotton seed meal for this purpose? It has been demonstrated to be an efficient form of plant food for southern soils, since meal can be purchased at a low price in proportion to ita true feeding and fertilizing value. “The farmer who handles his seed with any degree of intelligence will make money out of selling them or exchanging Uiem for meal, or by buying mea* directly to supplement the deficiency of his soil in nitrogen. At the same time the oil contained in the seed has been gotten rid of, which is another distinct advantage, since it tends to clog up the pores of the soil and is in no sense a plant food. ’The farmer who uses large sup plies of nitrogen in his fertilizers this year tnan has previously been the practice stands the l»est chance uf increasing his crop yields, for all the soil analyses made up to this time indicate quite a marked de ficiency of this element in most of oyr soils.” ^ Established In 17»4.

Royal Baking Powder is made 1 from pure grape cream of tartar, and is the embodiment of all the excellence possible to be attained in the high est class baking powder. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price, and is more economical at its price than any other leavening agent, because of the superlative qualify and absolute wholesomeness of the food it makes. ' Mixtures made in imitation of baking powder*, but containing slum, are frequently distributed from door to door, or given away in grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous to me in fond. In Fjtglwd, France, Germany and some sec bans of the United Steles their sale is prohibited by law. Alum is a dangerous mmoal acid, and al physicians condemn baking powders containing it COUNTY UNION MEETING. The Colleton County Farmer’s Union held its regular monthly meeting Saturday at the Masonic Hall. President Padgett, not being able to reach Walterboro in time for the opening, Hon. D. L. Smith was elected to preside over the meeting, which he did with ease. The exercises were shortened in order that the members might at tend the organization of the Boys’ Qprnclub. The feature of the meet ing, however, was the address to the union by Hon. Ira W. Williams. State Agent for Farm Demonstration work under the United Statea de partment of agriculture. Mr. WiK Hams is an easy and fluent speaker, and for half an hour kept his audi ence entertained with facts and figures. He spoke of the importance of organization among the farmer*, and urged the delegates present to go back home and try to put more life into their locals if interest is lagging. “The Farmers’ Union”, said Mr. Williams, “is the greatest organization the country has ever known, and it will never do to have it die”. The opinion was general that this address will be intrumental in doing much good to the order in this county. The delegates present were: IMls—T. L. t'arter, f\ S Hudson. Black Creek-C. C.
