I was happy to meet my old friend
and comrade,Dan Anthony,at Gaffney
a few days ago. Dan. was as good a
soldier as General Lee had in his ar
my. He carries in his body a min-
nie ball ho received in one of the
great battles in which the army of
Northern Virginia was engaged. He
hW a rooster that he took with him
Ml through the war and brought it
home after the surrender. He called
him “Beauregard.” The roosterdied
soon after the surrender and was
burled with military honors near
Limestone Springs, Gupt. J. B. Lisle’s

The meeting at Gaffney last Tues-
dayin the Cowpen* park matter was
not attended as largely as it would
have been had the notice been longer
but' every argument was made to
bring it before congress at this ses

Congressmen Strait and Wilson, also
Senator Tillman, suongly endorsing
our move and pledging themselves to
support it.

Speaking of the hard times and

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
Having finished the gathering of
the crop of ray pet aero of cotton, I
will now, in compliance with your
request made to me some weeks
ago, endeavor to give you a history
of the experiment.
To begin witb, the plot of land was
stepped off by one of my neighbors as
follows: First line, SO yards; second
line, 65 yards; third line, 00 yards;
and fourth line, 65 yards, enclosing a
total of 910 square yards of dark gray
land with yellow subsoil.
Now, to go back a little. Two
years ago (in 1895) this plot was fer
tilized with 500 pounds of soluble
guano and planted in corn. The
yield was between 40 and 50 bushels.
Last year (1896) it was fertilized with
16 two horse loads of lot scraping,
scattered broadcast, and 1,000 pounds
of soluble guano, Charlotte acid and
German kainit placed in drill. After
this, it was planted with King cotton
and the yield was 846 pounds of lint.
About the middle of March, of the
present year, I made a compost heap
consisting of 50 bushels of cotton
seed, six two-horse loads of stable
'manure, 800 pounds of Charlotte
acid and 200 pounds of kuinlt.
After a thorough mixing, these ma
terials were covered with rich earth
and left in a low. flat heap until the
15th of April, when, after having
turned out the old stalks and smoot hly
harrowing my acre, I spread.over It
the contents of the compost heap, as
evenly as possible, and then turned
it under to a depth of from six to
eight inches, after which I again
used the harrow to level and pulver
ize the land.
With the manure in and the land
thoroughly pulverized, I next took a
terrace level, ran a lint; /lirectly
through the centre of the plot, and
from this line, each way, laid .Q.ff the
rows 4$ feet apart from centre to
centre. Then, in the furrows, I
drilled 700 pounds of equal parts of
soluble guano, Charlotte acid and
kainit, and after that, with a 6-iuch
steel shovel, I prepared tho land in
low fiat beds for planting.
The seeds used were what might
very pr?yerly be called Further Im
proved King. They consisted of 100
pounds carefully selected from the
best bolls off the best stalks that
grew on the same land the year be
fore.
On the 20th of May, I side-harrow
ed the acre, and two days afterward
went over it again, and, by hand,
pulled it up to one stalk to every 6
or 8 inches. This work I did myself,
in order to be sure that it was done
right, and also that I might be assur
ed 'that there was nothing left but
healthy, vigorous stalks.
On the 27th of May I side-harrow
ed again, and on the 1st of June
thinned to 18 inches in the drill.
Next, on the 10th of June, I sided
with a short straight shovel and 12-
inch bow. and on the 22nd I sided
again with larger shovel and 16-inch
bow. Then, on the 15th of July, I
hoed and ran three furrows with
shovel and 18-inch heel scrape.
Last, on the 28th of July, I went
through the middles us deeply as I
could with a bull tongue, or scooter,
and then, on the same day. “laid-by”
by I oveling off with shovel and heel
scrape.
The work of picking, ginning and
packing has just been completed,
with a total yield of four bales,
weighing respectively 430, 441, 453
and 398 pounds, in all 1,772 pounds
of lint on the acre.
Now, Mr. Editor, I know that this
is a phenomenal yield of cotton to be
gathered from one acre, and many of
your readers will doubt this report. I
have not got anything to say to
Thomas; but toothers who believe
in the possibility of things that they
themselves have never seen, I beg to
say that what I have done is nothing
more than they can do if they will
use the means. Let them select the
right kind of seed, fertilize their land
well, work it properly, and my word
for it, they will be gratified at the
result.
As for myself, I have been using
tho King variety for some time past.
I am not prepared to say that the
King is superior to all other varieties
for all kinds of soil; hut In this cli
mate. on highly fertilized lands, I
think the King beats any other va
riety.
VY'hile my success this year has
been in a large measure due to the
seed—probably I owe more to the
seed than anything else—still I think
that the deep furrow at the last
working had much to do with the
yield. My opinion here is based on
past experience. I have several
time's before gathered two hales from
one acre, and each time there was a
considerable quantity of fruit which
failed to mature. Some of it dried
up. Anyhow, it did not open. I
beiian to think it was impoesible to
cultivate or fertilize so as to get more
than two bales. The trouble seemed
to be that after a certain point, the
stalks would become so large and the
foliage so dense as to necessarily
cause the moulding and rotting of the
lower bolls.
But in the King variety this trouble
is, in a largo measure, overcome.
Owing to the natural habits of the
plane, dwarf growth and early matu
rity, the stalk does not grow as large
under same conditions. lo puls on
more fruit lo the size than any other
variety of which I have any knowl
edge, and while the foliage is ail
sufficient to give tho stalk a healthy
growth, yet this foliage is not so
dense, even under the stimillous of
high cultivation, and this year I no
ticed but very little trouble on ac
count of the rotting of the early
bolls.
This year the cotton on the acre
referred to above bloomed ai least
two weeks earlier than ordinary va
rieties. It has been earlier every
year. It has also matured earlier.
Horetufore I have neglected the deep
furrow already described. The effect
of that furrow has certainly been
most noticeable. The cotton kept
on maturing almost as late as other
varieties, and 1 think the deep fur
row was largely the cause of it. The
furrow deepens the feeding roots and
gives greater vitality.
Then another thing. Although I
have referred to this cotton as a
dwarf variety, I wish to bp under
stood only that it has dwarf tenden
cies and characteristics under ordi
nary circumstances. During the
present fall I have picked white cot
ton a foot above my head, or 6$ feet
from the ground.
In conclusion, let me say also that
I have writtep this account only be
cause you asked me for it, and that
my object is the same as yours, to
disseminate information. I have no
cotton seed on hand except the King
variety, and am selling them to my
neighbors at 15 cents a bushel. I do
not wish to sell the seed from my pet
acre at all. If, however, any indi
vidual should be especially anxious
fot* a few of these seeds, and will for
ward the stamps to cover postage
(12 cents) I will he pleased to scud
him a pound by mail; but I have
only a limited quantity to dispose of
on this basis, and would not care to
send more than a single pound to
any one individual.

As regards this missionary busi
ness around Buffalo. Mrs. VValers I
agree with you that it would be noth
ing amiss. From a worldly standpoint
the people of Buffalo are all right,
but strike them on religion they are
off of the track, deacons not accepted.
It is estimated that over half the
men of this community are addicted
to the liquor habit. Two of our
young men went to Gaffney one day
last week and when they came home
that night they could not tell their
own fingers from i.nives and forks.

^ At the close of our protracted
meeting last summer t\v i prayer
meetings were organized, but both are
dead and forgotten , about. It seems
that people .had rather go to a cir
cus, a dancing KaU. or a still house
than a prayer meeting. During pro
tracted meetings the preachers al
ways open the doors of the church to
take in converts, but never to let out
hypocrites. They ought to give one
as much attention as the other, it
would be nothing but fair play.
This reform movement has cheated
us oue of the prayers of one of our
deacons. He stopped praying to dab
ble in politics.
Another deacon who gets down on
his knees and asks the Lord to have
mercy on poojt sinners in settling up
with,a poor ignorant darxey for his
year's work told him that one hun
dred pounds of five cents cotton was
worth as much as twenty five bushels
of corn. Or at least that is what is
traveling on the wings of the wind.
Another deacou who lives in this
section apd belongs to a church in
N. C., lost eighty’live dollars gamb
ling with a show fakir. That
brother was intoxicated and acquired
the habit of drinking by having his
hog’s fattened at the still house.

Buffalo, December, 6.—It is hog
killing time, which means “no more
eating dry bread at our house.”
There has been about enough meat
raised to supply tho country. Now
if the farmers will open their eyes to
business they will turn their atten
tion to improving their lands, and
raising their own males, and bacon
and flour enough to: supply their
own families, aud a surplus for their
city friends and cousins, and they
buy all the cotton they need. Com
mon sense ought to teach them to
try the experiment. Every other
class or profession are living easier
than the cotton raisers., Tho farmers
are said to be the backbone of the
country but if cotton keeps on going
down and everything 'else up this
country will soon be like’ Sam Jones
says some men are that think they
have a spinal column when it is only
a cotton string run up their backs.
Now it is an evident fact that this
country must soon quit raising cot
ton or be without a backbone. Flaw
Picker says for a man to marry at the
risk of breaking his neck but what
say you, brother, about those poor
trodden farmers trying to continue
raising five cents cotton? Every
crank has a theory of bis-own for the
betterment of tho condition of this
country. Some are advocating free
coinage of silver, some to form a big
cot.on trust and others still are
waiting to reduce the cotton crop but'
the most practical way I can con-
cieve of is to reduce our population
or curtail it at- least. Stop the white
people from marrying for at least ton

tentfou to Banjo Lu aud Mrs.ItMfcitti

Staae your money, and .send her on it
you want to loose it,, - When I began
writing the naked truth, about wo
men’s everlasting tongues, eome-
titue ago. I asked Mrs. R. Ann Wa
ters to endorse what I said, believing
aq a matter of course she would read
ily do so. But alas! to my utter as
tonishment from the way she struck
back at me it looked like the cap was
just fitting her own self. She wants
to impress the public that I am a
heathenish Woman hater, but sjach is
not the case, even if I do toil’the
truth on them sometimes. From
my earliest boyhood days up till Only
a few years ago my head was as ten-
jderasthatof an angel towords the
gentler sex. It peems that it was
a divine mission with me to love
them. Even a minute .and invisible
particle of my love was a guarantee
that its’reoipienb would murry—ul-
yrays to somk other fellow, lu the
scramble for whai some people call
“help meets,” but in reality “keep 1

low a lift that helped him land himself
clear over into the realms of matri
monial bliss, or at least they thought
that was the name of tho place. 1
have even given away my own sweet
hearts. One of my next doyr neigh
bors has actually married two of them.
Cun anybody say now that I do not
love my neighbor as myself. Have I
not even dooe more than was required
of me by loving their wives and
daughters. Bat I am honest to con
fess that my heart is dead to love.
For three or four years I have been in
the grasp of a dead woman. This
may sound like fiction to strangers
but the people around Buffalo know
it to be a positive fact. Behind this
is a story that has twice shaken the
very foundation of Buffalo church.
Were it written out it would bring
tears to the eyes of the most stout
hearted. Bouth Carolina can hardly
produce a parallel tn It. When a
dead woman can almost torture my
life out, the Lord alone knows what a
live one would do. Qh, how my heart
