It hss been the history of the world, from the earliest days down to the present, tbht the realisation of any treat need was followed by an Invention to supply that need. When treat problems in the mechanical, physician, at material world, came up for solution some genius, closely familiar with the wants of the time, has arisen and by hard work and care has brought about some remarkable iaventioa. Reasoning from the above general statements, It la likely that some citi- sea of Walterboro, whose genius Is genuine, and who studying over a great problem, and the papers will soon herald the new of the finding of the remedy to the anxious people Who are suffering under an adverse condition. The problem In one word Is "Mud; M and it makes Itself felt daring any rainy season on the streets of the town. In all probabili ty, some of the strangers we now see la the city are here studying this problem expecting to reap great com* merclal benefit from their laventtoa. For the sake of the people wbooe troubles should not be commerci alised, It Is to be hoped that a native of Walterboro will bring about the Invention, and that the poor as well as .the rich may benefit by the 1m- strumeat which will serve the “mud" problem. It Is rumored that some people are mw working along the line of per fecting a suitable pair of web feet which can be worn by men la rainy weather and put to the same use as the web foot of the., dock. We are not la poeltloa to discuss the advan tages of the web foot, bat rumor bas It that It will be perfected aad that man can walk through the mud on the streets of Walterboro with no mere incoavonleace than a duck. Let u* all hope that the problem will be eolved, for woruld not all of «s prefer web feet to the present eaadltloa of things, for eves a small raia will place the streets la a bad condition f la this connection, nothing has heard for sometime of the that the, town government was to purchase a flock of ducks aad geese for use In Walterboro during relay weather. It Is thought by many that such a step would prove extremely profitable to the town, for. It Is pointed out. that any of the streets of the town, In rainy we&thlr will furnish Ideal grounds for the ralalag of such animals. While we are not interested In the ' deck proposition, we anxicus'.y await the perfection of the web foot fot man. AN OPPORTUNITY. The attention of the business men 1 Walterboro and the county of Col ston. and also of the incorporated •was and governmental bodies in he county Is called to the monster leosting trip which is being arrang- 4 by the Columbia Chamber of Com- •tree and the Columbia Real Estate Exchange.

It la a necessary factor In crop pro duction for It is n source of fertility to the soil, and it gives more space ao that air can circulate freely through the soil. Plant roots need sir Just as much as doea the part of the plint above the ground, so It Is necessary to keep the soil poms. The soils of South Carolina, as a rule, are lacking in humus, and a ■oil Inching in this, la unproductive, because of the gradual drain on the soil from year to year by the regular growing of one money-making crop and nothing added to It bnt commer cial fertiliser. Thin causes a general depreciation in the fertility of the soil, and n high cost of crop production. How are w« to get this organic matter into the soil, is a problem which Interests many farmer*. They think that if they grow one good crop of corn or cottoa on the land la a year, that is a good year’s work. Bat thin is pet good management, for If the ground la left bare the rest of the year erosion and leaching by raia will carry out lot* of fertiliser elements. By the use or • over tiop* this can be prevented. There are three ways to ge: ’his organic matter into the soil: First, by green manures and crop residues: secoad, by accumulations ia pastur- ; ng and third by application of farm yard manure. • _ 4 Keeping up this supply of organic matter la the soil can be done with little cent, and ia the end make bet ter galas, by planting cover crops, aaroe crops, and catch crops, and us ing them ns green manures. With a regular aystem of rotation, a gresa manure crop cee be used to greet advantage. There is ao reeaoa for e fanm r to lose the regular la come from a piece of lead for the whole year if he wants t* put oa it a green manure crop. For green manuring purposes la the winter, such crops as rye, bar ley ead eats caa be broadcast ia the tall aad turned under, ia the spring. Then, there is aaother family—the legumes—which can be grown in the winter end used aa cover crop, and which will allow aa abundance ol grating In the spring, and then can be turned under for manure. For this purpose, you can use the clovers, aa crimson, red. burr, alsiks, white, alfalfa and vetch. The legumes which can be used as a catch crop in the summer months are cowpeas, velvet beans and 'oy beans. When such crops as red clover or alfalfa can be used ih a a rotation, it is seldom necessary to use these special manure crops. The reason for this lies in the fact that one-third of the weight of red clover, and nearly one-half of the weight of al.’aifa. is in the roots, so that these plants produce a green manure crop under ground in addition to the regular crop of hay. Gieen manure crop can be pastured off by cattle and tbs manure returned to the soil In thia way the crop can be turned Into meat and thus bring a good re turn; then the stubbie may be turn ed under as organic matter. Crops for green manure may be sown broadcast thick over the land and it will smother out and kill a lot of common weeds that are ruinous to the farmer. The legumes are very valuable as green manures, for they not only add organic matter to the land, but in turn add a quantity of nitrogen. On ail leguminous plants thsrv ia a micro-organism which makes a home in little tube re sic* on the roots and they take free nitro6t!r from the air and collect it in the *vt.

Gru ber of this section, was drowned in the Edisto River near his home while in bathing with some other boys on June 27th. Mr Gruber was a man of about the age of 23 or 24 and a prosperous farmer. He was a member and also a deacon of the Union Baptist Church for several years. He was always present at the meetings and doing his duty for the Lord. Mr Gruber was one among many young men. He did not drink nor indulge In any bad habits at all. He was n noble, pious Christian young man.

He leaves to mourn his loss a father,^ a step-mother, three half sisters; Misses Annie and Hannah and Mrs Mike Campbell of Givhans, two half brothers, Danna and Calhoun, and a boat of friends and relative*. He waa in the bio J \ it health and we might compare this sad accident to the following lines: Death rides on every passing breese And lurks in every flower; Eack season bas its own disease And perils eVSry hour.
