A Head
that throbs, jttiins and
aches, or feels heavy, stuf
fy, dull or dizzy, is a poor
head to do business with.
It irritates the temper, up
sets the stomach, interferes
with digestion and wears
out the braid and nerves.
Make the nerves strong,
the brain clear and your
head will be right.
“ Years of headache made me nerv
ous, irritable and unfit for business;
hut when 1 be;,an taking Dr. Miles’
Irvine I found permanent relief.
Nothing equals it for overworked
nerves, at lies, or head troubles of any
kind.” Thus. W. Frame,

BREAD SCATTERED
On the Waters Will he Oathered After
Many Days.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Blacksburg, Nov. 14.—I will
trouble you with another article to
show that the Scripture is correct
when it teaches us that bread scat
tered on tiie waters shall be gathered
after many days.
In writing of A. M. Latham’s
wheat crop you will see that be be
gan to prepare for it in 1855. He
sowed with the wheat clover and
timothy grass seed from which he
got a very liberal crop of hay in the
full of 1855. And in the year follow
ing had the lot to run in grass,
clover and timothy, from which he
got the largest amount of line hay 1
ever have seen taken off the same
amount of land.
In 1857 he planted the lot in corn,
with a spoonful of guano to the hill,
and with thorough cultivation, he
gathered seventy bushels to the acre.
In 1S5S he had it sown in oats, and it
was the finest lot of oats that I can
recollect of ever seeing. In 185‘J he
planted it in cotton, and there was a
falling off in profit. The war coming
on in ISfll I lost sight of it until
1870. Fred Latham had succeeded
his brother at the iron works, as
agent, and turned his attention to
cotton planting. Ho hired a man
and his four-horse team of mules and
attached the big Scotch plow to the
fore wheels of a wagon ; one man to
drive, another to hold the plow and
a large and strong mule with a bull-
tongue plowing in the furrow after
the plow. He had the lot plowed,
then bedded, and with a liberal
quantity of guano, planted in cotton.
It will be seen by looking back that
it was fifteen years after A. M.
Latham began his improvement on
the lot, and the labor and expense
that he applied to the lot in 1855
were still paying, tor Fred gathered
3.000 pounds of seed cotton off of
some acres of the improved land; so
he was getting the company’s money
back that bis brother had fed to the
land fifteen years before, and was
therefore gathering the broad scat
tered on the waters after many days.
He was carrying out the principle
or advice that the old Scotch farmer
gave to a young farmer that had
leased a farm in his neighborhood.
When asked for advice how to man
age the place that others had been
unable to make a living on. the old
man having been very successful in
making a fortune by hard labor and
economy, as well as paying heavy
rent begun by naming over the differ
ent fields and the crop that should
be planted to each field. He said
that the crops should be changed
yearly and that the same crop should
not be planted two years in succes
sion in anyone field. When through
with the farming advice the old man
said to his young friend: ”Be sure
not to go or get in debt, but if
obliged- to get in debt, let it be for
manure.” That was before the
guano banks were discovered by Sea
ward. So that shows that it will pay
the farmer bettor to make homespun
manure than to waste time and cot
ton on commercial fertilizers; al
though it will not make quire as big
a show as hauling Hour and guano
from town and cotton back to pay for
them. No more at present.

DEATH OF MISS BURGESS.
Mlie Dieii at Her Home Moiitiay Morolng;
Near Granny I'ond.
(Correspondence of The Ledger )
Grassy Pond, Nov. 20.—Owing to
the fair weathpr farmers aro through
gathering their crops and are ready
to prepare their winter wood.
Miss Dora Whitlock, an accom
plished lady and teacher of Jones*
villo, has accepted the school at
Grassy Fond and began teaching
there last Monday.
Our community was pained last
Monday on hearing that Miss Mamie
Burgess had passed away. 8he was
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
Burgess, and in her twenty-first year.
She had been sick only about two
weeks when she died. During her
illness she would speak of loved ones
that had gone before. Mamie was a
kind hearted girl and proved true to
her family and mutes. She was a
member of the Providence Baptist
church, to which she always liked
to go. In her last hours her face
shone bright as if she was not afraid
to go, and seemed to say ‘‘it is well
with my soul.”
In spite of all that loving hands and
skilled physicians could do, the One
that knows best, and does all things
well, called her home and she crossed
the river about one o’clock Monday
morning. Around the bedside stood
her family and friends doing all they
could to keep her here on earth
longer, but the Death Angel touched
the golden strings that bound her to
life and bade her cross over.
Her remains were interred at Cor
inth cemetery in the presence of
many friends and relatives who had
gathered to pay their last respects to
the loved one. We deeply sympa
thize with the family in their loss,
and trust they may rest assured that
she is at peace in Zion. j g. i\

FOR FARMERS.
Suggestion* Salted to This Season of the
Year.
We take the following from Wed
nesday’s issue of tbe Carolina Spar
tan, and reprint it for the benefit of
our farmer readers in Cherokee coun
ty, feeling sure that it will be read
with intre«t by some, if not all of
them who see it:
‘‘The cotton is nearly all picked
out. The small grain will generally
be sown by December 1, provided the
farmers are energetic. A few sug
gestions may by pertinent just at
this season.
Your presence is not necessary at
the cross roads store two or three
times a week. The trains will whirl
by the railway station on time or off
time, even if you do not go out to see
them once a month. The towns and
cotton mdls will get on about as well
as usual without a daily or weekly
visit from you.
The farmer, who has left his im
plements where he finished plowing
in wheat, and whose harness are in
such a condition that it is hardly safe
to ride behind a team, and whose
rickety old wagon will hardly hold up
a half load, is in a bad way. He
ought to go at something else. The
one who never plows a furrow from
the first of August to the middle of
February will soon ruin any land he
skims over.
The best farmers will be ready to
begin the work of 1901 about the first
day of December. That will give
them a month’s advantage. What is
to bo done and in what order should
the work come? Different conditions
will demand different orders of busi
ness. But generally the home, the
dwelling house, should be made com
fortable. An abundance of good
wood and especially dry stove wood,
should be prepared. The kitchen or
cook room should be one of the most
comfortable rooms on the place.
Some sort of shelter should be pro
vided for wood, particularly stove
wood. After the house the stables
will demand attention. These should
be a protection against cold and rain,
but with ventilation also. Animals
should be fed and watered regularly.
They demand and deserve as much
attention when not at work as when
working. A good clean tiough
shoud he provided and a forage box
Then stables and lots should be well
covered with pine needles or forest
leaves. Lot fences, doors and gates
should all be put in good condition.
Harness and tools should ali be re
paired at once so there will be no de
lay in hitching up a team when
wanted.
Now for the field work. If a far
mer is able to use two horses he
should begin his preparation of land
the first fair spell in December. If
he has heavy stubble to turn, use a
good two-horse turn plow. If not,
use the two-horse subsoiler, or any
system of suhsoiling that is best.
Let that work go on with the team
every fair day until every foot of land
to he planted in a hood crop is pre
pared.
The other hand or hands could be
cutting wood, repairing pasture fen
ces, cutting weeds and briers on
branch banks, strengthening weak
places in terraces, taking up stumps,
piling up stones that are in the way
and clearing any land that is to be
cleared.
The farmer that puts in no time at
his work till about the first of March
will certainly have an easy time in
the gathering season. This is the
time also for putting out fruit trees
and preparing the front yard so that
the women folk may have a few
flowers.
These suggestions are made to men
who know as much about what they
ought to do as this writer knows, but
this is written to stir up their minds
and put them to executing the plans
they have.*
There is a sort of revival starting
amongst the farmers of the Fiedmont.
They are going to do better than
heretofore, and there is certainly a
great need of improvement. The
best missionary is the one who will
take common land and by deep prep
aration and thorough pulverization
demonstrate to his neighbors that
such land will stand both wet and
dry weather and make double the
yield that it formerly made when
plowed about three inches deep. If
this little exhortation starts only a
dozen farmers to tt inking and work
ing it will not be in vain.”

The Herald Square Opera Company
played ‘‘Billee Taylor” to a” im

at the Academy. Every leading
character is taken by thoroughly qual
ified and experienced oersons who
would shine in any company, while
tbe chorus is strong, well balanced,

young, pretty and attractive grace
ful in form and stage manner. The
applause was a rapid fire production

audience in one roar of laughter. We
understand they have booked a re
turn date after Christmas.

fall in an opposite direction to which

to run out of the way, but, confused,
the older boy ran directly under the
tree and was instantly killed, the
back portion of his skull being crush

This little boy was five years old,
almost to an hour, when be was kiled.
The burial took place at White Plains

The Hoy King.
I suppose there are but few Ameri
can boys who have not followed with
interest the events of the war between
Spain and the United States and re
joiced in the victory of the American
army and navy and in tbe expansion
of her territory; how they exulted
in the victory of Admiral Dewey at
Manila and the destruction of Cer-
veras fleet at Santiago. But much
depends on the point of view in tbe
Royal Palace at Madrid. There
lives a boy there thirteen years old
last May to whom this last year has
been one of bitter sorrow and humili
ation. I hope all American boys are
interested in the history of their
country and have followed with pride
the story of the thirteen colonies and
of the United States. The boy king
of Spain has been carefully educated.
Doubtless he has studied with pride
the past history of his country and
feels himself the heir of Ferdinand
and Emperor of Germany and of
Phillip II, under whom Spaniards ex
tended their dominion over the new
world, from which their Galleons
brought untold treasure to Spain,
today the last of these great posses
sions has passed from him. We have
heard the stories of mis-governmeut,
cruelty and oppression which caused
the colonies of Spain to revolt from
her, but as we read Spanish history
wo cannot feel that the boy king or
his gentle mother is responsible for
them. Alfonso Nil was chosen king
of Spain when only seventeen. After
the death of his first wife, Mercedes,
he married the young Arjfij Duchess,
Mary Christina, niece of the Em
peror of Austria, he tried to rule
Spain justly and wisely but died
after a reign of only eleven years and
Mary Christina was appointed Regent
of the kingdom. She has shown her
self worthy of her Royal Palace.
