a^? ??i THE ADVOCATE. ' ftlhliahei Every Wednesday JOHN BELL TOW ILL, Editor ...July 30. ... Wi believe that our town is as progressive as any in this section, however^ there are a number of improvements that would add to its welfare. Ths miserable row of diltpidated guaro houses are an eye-sore. We wish simply to call attention to them at present, though we propose to have more to aay about it. The Lexington county candidates will be in our town iu full force on August 7th, as will the Congressional aspirants for the seventh and second dis tricte. We trust that the people throughout this section will turn out and bear the views of the men who aspire to fill our offices and measure them by their moral character and intellectual capacity, Tims for school to open is drawing near, and Bulesburg is in a fortunate condition. The doors o" the school will be thrown open to every white child in the district, absolutely Tee. Parties who desire to mo\e to our town for these advantages will fare in l.ke manner. A flue corps of teachers have been employed, every one college bred aud trained for the specific work of teaching. Batasburg may count itself moet fortunate to be in such circumstances. Sunday School Convention. The Gouuty Sunday School Convention held at Samaria church from Fridny until Sunday was well attended by delegates from the various schools over the county. Rev. W. b. Fallow, of (Juston, presided, and on Sunday he preached one of the most intrrcsting and instructive sermons we have ever listened to. The convention wilt meet with the New llrookladd church Friday before the fourth Sunday in July, 1U03. Senatorial Meeting at Lexington The Senatorial campaign meeting held at Lexington V outlay the 28th tost, was attended by about four hundred voters. No special interest was mani'etted and the speeches of the candidates were about the same as those delivered at other places. All the candidates received close attention and each one closed midst rpplause. The reception accorded to the lion. A. Frank Lever amounted almost to an ovation, lie will carry this county by an overwhe'uiiiig majority. A1} the speakers received ho-pitabl* treatmeut at the hands of the good people of Lexingtou. The speaker* were introduced bv the lion. C. M. Ella!, acting county chairman. A REPLY lly Chairman Spunn to "A Member" of The County Kxecutive Committee. ILkxikotox, S. C., July 29. Mr. Editoh?As so much has been said about the action of the executive committee in not fixing the pay for the primary managers, aud the statement made that they would get no pay, which is erroneous, 1 desire to slate, officially, that after the payment of the actual expenses of the saul committee, such as printing, preparing the boxes, etc., that the balance will be paid out proportionately to the managers, which will be as much as usual, or perhaps tnore, aud they will be treated as heretofore. And further, the charges that the said committee has ever paid for a single telegram, since I have been connected with it, is wholly untrue. I am eorrj mai kcriuus illness in niv family I pre veil t?(l my attending tlic last meeting of this committee. Respectfully, II. A. SPASM, Ch.irini.ii. The Uttuul Result. At 1'ortlund, Ore., says a dispatch bearing date of the iiTth, Fiank Carlmou and George Baldwin, each agod lit ytars. quarreled i,\er two girls t. whom both were faying attention. Carlson challenged Baldwin to tight. The tight took place with bare kiuiek ! les in the presence of relatives and friends ofbotii boys in an unfrequented pait of the city, '''lie light lasted about twenty minutes . At the end of thot time Carlson received a blow in the moinaeh and fell to the ground When picked up he was dead. Baldwin is ill jail. The Conquered Boers. A Cape Town dispatch, tinted too Sttth, says: Generals Botha and Delarey, who are on their way to Kurope, arrived here today and were met at the railway station by large crowds. Ate meeting held in the butcli Keformtd Church later, in thankiiit.' t hose p-; sent for the welcome extended to them, General Botha said he wished to im press upon his hearers the necessity for working hand in hand with the British, as houtli Africa was the only country they could call home.

John Davis, claiming to be from Richmond, Va., who now lies 111 in a hospital in Fall River, If ass., where he tells those around him of his misfortune in the destruction of liis fruit farm iu the Island of Martinique by the recent volcanic eruption aud recounts his sudden illness in New Turk city and his subsequent robbery of |700, is thought by some to have figured here in another light. The two men may be the same or tkey may not. If they are the case is remarkable. bix years ago John Davis was confidential clerk iu the well known firm of Harvey lllair & Co. lie was charged I with embezzling fund* of Ibis oomI pany, tried and sentonred to the peiu- < tentiary for a t*rin of three years I in- i prisoninent, whieh he served. During 1 his time of imprisonment, he, like I other prisoners, was employed by the ? Davis Shoe Company, wnich works the ? State convicts in its plant at the penitentiary. I For the company he kept books, and i bereme so valuable an employe that I upon his discharge he accepted a post- ! tlon with the same firm, and was given 1 Northern territory. At this time he dropped out of the sight of his friends 1 here. 1 Davis lived here with his mother, ' and his father was supposed to be 1 dead, lie had never seen him until a con vict and then did uot know of his identity, which was not revealed to him until he was released from prison. From all accounts John Davis' father was h native of Massachusetts, who was 1 married ubout the time of the Civil war ' to a 'ady in Raleigh. N. O., believing 1 then his first wife, whom he wedded years before in his nntive State, to be 1 dead. Alter living with bin Southern wife for over two years, he chanced on one occasion while North on business to ' find his first wife living. With her lie 1 remained, leaving the second, the mother of John Davis, without a word 1 or letter io explain iiis absence. In after years Mr. Davis hud occasion to visit ' Richmond. This was during the term of his son's imprisonment, and u^on this visit he mad e a trip through the State penitentiary. Whether he knew of Ills son's presence there is not known, but inquiring as he passed through tlie wards as to who some convict was he is as told tnat that was John Davis. The old man was touched, I for he recognized his son, whom he bad never seen. lie talked with him some time, was uoved to teurs duriug the interview, aud withheld hi: identity. Johu Davis considered the old man who had cried over hiui as being insane, and so the matter passed out of his mind. The interim had given Mr. Davis an opportunity to learn of the where* abouti of bis second w ife, John's mother, whom lie had deserted, and time to timK, until her death, a short while hefore her son's terih in the penitentiary expired, she received a monthly allowance from a source which siie knew not. After John Davis was released from prison his father then made himself known, and with him tie left for the N orlh. John Davis was married, hut h's wife died leaving one child, a little girl nine years of age, when her father had Lervcd his sentence, but she had been kept in igrorance of his disgrace, being told he was away on business.? Richmond (Ya.) Tuns. 4,000 IIAl.US. Biggest Cotton Sale of Its Kind | Kver Made. 1 1 The biggest sale of cotton from one plantation ever made in New Orleans , was consummated last week, wiien the famous "Panther Burn,' crop, consisting of 4,000 hales, was sold 1 A sale and delivery of 4,00(1 hales trout iiiie plantation would be a re- j 1 mark.iblo transaction under any cir- I cumstances, but these bales are nearly | twice the usual weight, averaging 000 pounds to the bale. This makes the transaction involve the sale and delivery of about 10,000 bales the usual weight. The sale was made by Harris, Day A Co., agents of John Willis, owner of the 1'arillier lturn plantation, to Chauncey W. Butler, agent of John T. Wood, of l.iverpool. Tlie price wus not made public. The l'anther Burn cotton is well know ii to all cott< n men >iy reason of the fact that the owuer has stored and held his crops for three years, waiting for that tide in the nlfuirs of men which leads on to fortune. Whether it ' win an ebb or a Hood tide is known only to those directly interested in the sale. The cotton will he classed ami weigh ed, beginning Monday, and the pro-- H cess * ill require more than two weeks, 1 as the bales are so heav v f.h? <>i method of handling will net stifllce It " is impossible for enough men to get cf around a bile to move it with any de- h gree of speed and dirpateh, '' While tlie cotton has not been cla s:- H tied, it is said to be t f a suparior qual. 11 ity. It will be shipped to Liverpool a n soon as it can be weighed ami classi- j" fled. o Cotton men say that the sale was tin 11 questionably the largest ever made in a New Orleans from one plantation While the 4,00) hales are the aggregate j L?f three years' crops, this fact alom C adds interest t > the transaction, as tin- ? e-xpenso of h tiding and stoiing that C unionr t for so long a time must necet- ? sarily have been enormous. C 1'untlier llurn plantation, which i ^ jwned hy Mr. Willis, is on Deer Creek, i the Yazoo Valley, and is one of tin nost widely known plantations in Mis A isaippi. It has a tronl of five miles on Deer Cretlc. The cotton In this consignment liavng been in such large bales, required ipecial bagging and ties. Formerly rery heavy bales were put up with ties >f extra weight. The large bales formng the present lot are encircled by jyire <ies of great strength, and hea\y bagflag. The seven wires used on each of Jiesa bales weigh one |M>tind each. The >ix bauds and their buckles vitli which .be lieavy bales were formerly put up, we'ghed three and a half pounds each. iuch ties, witli tlie bai;irinur. welch 11 f ;j-two pounds, while the ties and bagliug used in putting up the pros*. nt iot ol bales weigh about forty pound;, fills is only about twelve pounds more '.ban tbo bagging and ties of an ordinary bale. The bales of the consignment in question are so large that the elajsers md markers, unless very tall, would 3e hidden between the rows of bales, in weight the consignment represents ibout 4,500,000 pouuds, and in money ibont $ too,000. The only other lists of cotton sold Here that are known to have compared in the number of bales with the present : lot were two: First, there was one lold by Fellows & Co , numbering 5,200 bales, with an average of 4G0 pounds* The consignment was sold before tlie war. Another was sold by Knoop, Kreriehs <fe Co., Bioce the war. It numbered 4,500 hales and had an average weight of 490 pounds. ?North Carolina 1 rimes Democrat. Literal Obedience.

Chicago Journal. MOST POPULAR FOOD STUFF 1*0* CATTLE. Pointers That Are of Vital Interest to the Up-to-date Farmer. Money in Dairying. What has cotton to do with dairying? Cotton seed products have become the most popular food stuff for cattle, because of the low price and the most excellent results. ,'hey are the natural cattle feed for the cotton region, on account of saving In freight and the easy and convenient access. Strange to say. the value of these products wai not first discovered in their native home. It remained for (Jcrman scientists to point out their great value. German agriculturists are alwaya standing ready to make use of the discoveries of science, and so they imported vast quantities of cotton seed meal from this country and used it tor cattle feed in their dairies years before our own people woke up to the great possibilities in cotton seed meal as a reed stuff, llut it is now very well known that cotton seed meal, in connection with cotton seed hulls, make the must valuable cattle foods that are available, especially that offered by the Southern Cotton Oil company of the Carolinas and Georgia, at any of their mills or at their headquarters at Columbia, S. C? Savannah, Ga., Atlanta, Ga., or Raleigh, N. C. There Is one fact in connection with cattle feeding on cotton seed products that is not generally given th? prominence that its importance demands. This Is the value of the manure. Most exhaustive experiments have been made, both in this country and in Europe, with a view to finding the relation between the feed and the re- I suiting excrement from cattle. A 1 most important and far-reaching conclusion lias been reached, and it is me which does not admit of any loulit. This is that practically all of the nitrogen that is fed to cattle reappears in the excrement: about half in the solid and half In the liquid. Nitrogen is the most expensive Ingredient In all food stuffs, aud in all fertilizers. Hence this discovery is a most important one, leading to the istoundiiig fact that the present com neiciai viiiue or couon see<i meal as a feed stuff Is but half Its real value, when properly understood. It means that the full value of the nitrogen in the ineal may be utilized In feeding, and then, If sulllelent care be taken to lave .solid and liquid manure the whole >f the nitrogen may be collected and used again us a manure. There Is a further value in this, in that the form >f the nitrogen in this manure, taken with the other elements, ehemicai and t mechanical, makes the manure a bet- i ter fertilizer than the original meal. The general statement that practi- ! ally all of the nitrogen fed to cattle J eappenrs in the excrement might lead ; :o tin- conclusion (which would be I a.-ily self-contradictory) that nitrogen i 'eeds are of no value to cattle, and that t is in no way assimilated or made use >f by the animal economy. Nothing is nore tirmly established than that nitrojonous feeds are most important. In >rodui'iii? both beef and butter; but It s not yet well understood how the anntal uses the nitrogen and then ex retes It. It may he that the nitrogen < roni the air Is utilized, or it may be hat through some transformation in he system the nitrogen docs its work, | ind i< then rejected. There is a perfect analogy in thj use j >f nitrogen In making sulphuric acid, i t Is unary to supply n certain mount of nitrogen to make the process ipeiatlve, and yet sill of this nitrogen Is It her recovered or lost, none of It ' tually being retained in the sulphuric sid. , The rod..n plant requires a large .mount of nitrogen, and this may be upplled with the manure from dairy 1 attie. which themselves feed on cotton iroducta. anil in the interim, turn out . irge amounts of valuable inllk cream nd butter. Then dairying on the cotoii farm becomes a logical occupation, 'here are now inany cotton seed oil riills of the Southern (lotton Oil Co. so t widely scattered that it is easy for any I otton farmer to trade his cotton seed iw ineal and hulls, ami thus provide i Imaelf with valuable feed ctuffs for ] airy or beef cattle, and incidentally rocure the very heat fertilizer that is Iinu/Il?ihi? nifiimro ffrvrv* "o"'- ' ? .......
