All who attended the picnic at
Kings Mountain Rattle ground on the

Antioch Cornet Rand, report an en
joyable time. There was plenty
there to satisfy the inward man and
plenty of cold letnonad* on the
ground. The gathering was treated
to a speech from Mr. 1 inley, of
Yorkville, giving a historic al account
i f the battle that was fo ight there
over a century ago.
I would like to say a fe vj words in
regard to the prejudice against the
legal profession hinted » uby J. L. S.
in last week’s issue. In my opinion
it is not the chicanery of the lawyers
that causes this hut the faultiness of
of the laws. There are too many
technicalities that enable crimnuls
to excape justice. The right of ap
peal is very much abused. There is
no reason why the citizens should he
called on to bear the expense of from
two to four trials of every crimnul
that is brought before the bar of jus
tice. Every one should have a fair
and impartial trial but when they
get that there is no reason they
should get another. The state
should be placed on the same footing
in the selection of juries as the crim-
nal.
Let the bur of the 8tate take hold
of this, and formulate a bill or hills
that will remedy the evils that ena
ble crirnnals to escape justice and
press its passage before the Legisla
ture, and they will have the hacking
of every good citizen, and this preju
dice will cease, and society will be
elevated, and lynching will he re
duced to a minimum. A. n.

Manure “or AxparaKUS.
What manures are best for asparagus
where it is difficult to obtain stable
manure ia a question oft: ;i asked. It is
answered as follows in American Gar
dening:
What manures are best to use depend*;
in wane measure on the condition of the
soil itself. If the latter be loose and
well tilled w ith humus, we can well get
along without stable manure and may
put our sole reliance on fertili// rs. But
after that comes the the question of the
exact state of fertility of the soil. If
there be plenty of isitash already in the
soil, a good superphosphate would prob
ably give good results, and it may be
used ;tt the rate of from 2.>0 pouuds ]>er
acre upward. In most eases, however,
we will have have to apply potash in
some form if we desire the best results,
and there is nothing better than wood
nslu s, or perhaps cottonseed hull ashes.
If these cannot be had, muriate of pot
ash may be used. Tobacco refuse would
also Is* a good thing to shpply the pot-
asb. Wood ashes may boused at the rate
of 60 to 200 bushels per acre. If nn-
leuched, we may add a few hundred
IMuinds (and up to half a ton per acre)
of bone. If leached, wo simply give a
double or treble dos<- of the ashes.
The application;; can be made at al
most any time of the year. A few hun
dred pounds of nitrate of sola jx-r su re
might lx* scattered over the l>ed in early
spring in order to push the early growth,
suid after the cutting season to help the
plants to lay up a strong reserve store
in their roots for next year’s erop. Wo
like to have the rows alsmt five feet
apart. It will do, however, if the plants
stand 2Lj f '»t apart both ways, al
though < veil then we consider 3jc or 4

he given to the general appearance of
the grade, lu the illustration here re
produced from American Gardening are,
shown lour views of the same section of
a lawn and illustrating the effect of
various lawn contours. The upper grade
strikes the eve as being uncomely, l>e-
cause of the ill shaped finish bestowed
on it in construction. It is, moreover, so
uneven that it cannot well be k< pt in
good order.
The second section shows the same
lawn nicely graded, as with a level. It
affords no variety in its contour, as
natural landscape's do, with rare excep
tions. The third grade is slightly dish
ing, which of all forms for small grass
areas is the worst. It is eomparatively
characterless, having indeed a depress
ing etf'ct on the beholder. In pleasing
contrast with this is the stylo at the bot
tom, which shows a swelling contour
through its center, which at on^e satis-
fi' s the eye of good taste. It is a stylo
that may well serve as a pattern for the
average small “dooryard” lawn.
The illustrations refer to laud that is
level or nearly so, lit nee might not ap
ply to grounds that possess natural un
dulations. In the latter ease it is advised
that slight unevennesses be reduced, in
order to facilitate the use of the mower,
especially near the house, but in the
main there might be no objection to
retaining some natural variations cf the
surface.
A ruin that must bo adopted in lawn
grading is to have a good depth of fer
tile surface soil over all parts as finish
cd. This may vary from -1 to 8 indies
in thickness, according as the lawn is
with or without access to hydrant wa
ter. If all work up to this stage and
also the final plowing, smo< thing, rak
ing and rolling, could be done in the
fall and the final touches be left until
spring, thus securing thorough settling
of the soil, the lawn will not lose its
shape. In the absence of either over
winter settling or of a heavy interven
ing rain, if the surface is everywhere
thoroughly tramped by horses when the
soil is so dry that it will not pack, this
Death of Samuel T. Cutting.
Our community was startled Tues
day evening just before 7 o’clock by
the news that Samuel T. Cutting had
suddenly expired at his home in West-
ville.
Mr. Cutting bad heen a sufferer
from Bright’s disease for some time,
but, was able to be around, and was
out the day previous to his death.
He was sitting in his chair at the
time of his death and passed away
quietly.
Deceased was one of our host known
citizens having been prominent in
political and town affairs, and being
one of the hoard of registrars for a
number of years.
He was of an extremely social and
jovial disposition, having a joke or
story always at command, and could
for hours entertain a gathering in a
pleasing and interesting mqnner.
I or se v, ral years he hud conducted
a country grocery store, from which
he derivi d a goodly remuneration.
Mr. Cutting leaves two daughters.
Mrs. George \V. Cady and Miss Martha
Cuttting, also a son, who is in busi
ness in the South.
Funeral services were held at, his
late home yesteday, and the remains
were interred in Oak Ridge cemetery.

If the ground ca:i be well prepared
early in the spring and the need sown
at that time, tin: ehunres for securing a
g' Od stand of beets are much greater
than if the sowing lie delayed until
later. One serious difficulty in securing
a good ataud of the beets when sown
later in the season is, according to a
Rural New* York* r correspondent, that
the young plants do not become estab
lished before the ground becomes so dry
that they suffer, if they be not killed
entirely from the drought. The Mam
moth Long Red and the Yellow Ovoid
have proved the most satisfactory with
me. The Yellow Globe has not given
so great a yield per acre as the varieties
limned. Mangels like a deep, rich loam
that is quite warm and dry. A dump
lowland w ill sometimes produce large
yields of mangels of an inferior quality.
A Hoop, rich loam in a nigh state of
cultivation that is well drained is ad

'‘Raising wheat by the Campbell
method—that is, by drilling and culti

may answer nearly as well us the other
ways. 'A perfect tool for smoothing is a
“float,” consisting of two pieces of
scantling about 6 feet long, on which
are nailed inch boards a foot apart,
connecting one scantling with the other
8 feet apart. To add effectiveness the
driver stands on it %vhcn passing rough
places.
Next mark out the walks and drives
and the edging of the beds and borders,
preparatory to defining all such edges
with a line of sods. In the illustration
A shows a walk, B B B, a bed and the
borders of a lawn ready for seeding, all
the edges being this defined. The oper
ation is a simple one: First, some sod
is eut and rolled; second, a slight de
pression about half as deep as the sod is
thick is made in the lawn, and here the
sod is put in place and thoroughly beaten
with the back of a spado to settle the
grass roots firmly.

The fruits ripen generally in May and
June, hut are usually gathered and
shjp;n*d before fully mature. In gather
ing, the fruit of the Spanish variety is
usually broken off, while the fancy
kinds are eut or broken off, a long stem
being left attached, which is cut off
smooth after breaking. All possible care
.should be taken to avoid bruising. Be
fore packing, the fruit is usually taken
into t he packing house and "coled. In
the fancy sorts some careful packers
coat the cut end of the stem with par
affin. The crowns are left attached and
sold with the fruit. In Florida the fruit
is packed in crates of a standard size, 12
by 20 by 3(5 inches. These are known as
whole or barrel crates. For the f anoy
varieties half crates, 12 by 10 by 36
inches, are generally used. In packing,
each fruit is usually wrapped separately
in thin paper. Shipping in bulk, which
is the usual method in the Lahamas and
West Indies, is not practiced in Florida
