Almost Just Man Little Chap? *) XTRyoopp A Boy’s New Fall Suits 4 ■■■HIS STORE has grouped in a store l»y it-elf all t e essen* tials to Boy’s dress—man’s wearahles with tne manishne^s taken out. This department for Boys has tlte same care and time bestowed upon it that the Men’s has. Every thing is there and everything has to do double duty—to be at once manly fur the boys and dainty for the mothers. What is becoming, what is pretty is what is sought after for boys, and that is what we have to offer. But we are never forgetful of quality, since quality is always the winner in the competative race. All the new things in Boy’s wear ' « for fall are here, cap-a-pie. But suppose you see for yourself. - For Large and Small ,w 1 XBte&qy OUR WATER POWER. A Ten Thousand Horse Power Plant in Course of Construction The Charlotte Observer of a recent | date contained the fo lowing in re gard to the development of the water j power now going on in this county. “Mr. C. M. Pritchett, resident en gineer at Gaffney. S. C., for the con struction of a 10,000 horse power | water-power plant on Broad river, was in the city yesterday. This company is known as the Spartanburg Electric Manufacturing and Power Companv I and the capital co nes from Pittsburg. Mr. Jennings, who is interested in tlip Toxaway development, is pres- idmit of the company, and with him are Messrs. Dnavo, Slick, Crawford and others. Ground was broken about a month and a half ago. A spur is being run to the site of the power from Blacksburg. The spur is about four miles long. The grading of this spur will be completed next week and the track will he laid at once. Tho work of clearing off the site where the dam will be and excava tion for the foundation is now in prog ress. This company has about 300 men employed at present, and this force will be increased to 500 as soon us the hands can be secured. The Dravo company, of Pittsburg, is the contractor and Mr. Oscar Shanks the superintendent of the work on the ground. Mr. Shanks and Mr. Pritchett reside in Gaffney. Those interested hope to have the plant constructed and power ready for sale within the year 1907. The power will be sold to factories within a radius of thirty miles. The bulk of it will probably be disposed of in Gaffney and Spartanburg. Mr. J. E. Sirrine is chief engineer of this work, and Mr. Pritchett resi dent engineer, part of his organiza tion.

Disease Affects Mouth, Tonque and Feet, and is Not Contaqjous. (Greenville Dally News.) During the past two or three weeks, many cattle owners have spoken of a strange disease of the mouth and tongue which has made itself mani fest. The State veterinarian at Clemson has received many letters relative to the disease. He has sent out the fol lowing: “Within the last month the State veterinarian has received a number of letters concerning cattle affected with sore mouth and, in many cases, sore or tender feet. As the disease seems to be generally priwalent. no doubt as a result of the long continu ed wet weather, the following informa tion concerning it is supplied for pub lication: ‘The disease is known in medicine as mycotic stomatitizs. It is not con tagious or infectious, but is caused by I fungi or moulds which grow upon for- I age or grass. These fungi, which | grow luxuriantly in wet seasons, have a very irritant effect upon the lining I membrane of the mouth, the mem- j brane covering the tongue and upon the soft skin between the claws. “Affected animals eat and drink’ with great difficulty or not at all. the saliva forms froth around the lips or dribbles from tl^e mouth, the mem- bram* lining the mouth is red and hot and contains ulcers, the membrane covering the tongue is affected in the same way, and a very offensive odor is usually present. Sometimes the skin between the claws and Just above the hoof is affected and then the animal walks stiff .and sore. The trouble is usually confined to the an terior limbs, but all four legs may be attacked. In milk cows ulcers may also appear on the udder and teats. “Herds of cattle in which animals have been .attacked with this disease should be removed from the pasture in which they have been running. The affected animals should be fed on soft food, such as bran mashes, meal and gruels. They should have free access at all times to clean, cool water and two heaping tablespoonfuls of borax should be dissolved in each of the first two buckets of water given each day. The mouth should be washed out daily with a solution of creolin—one table spoonful of creolin to each quart of water—and following this a half ta blespoonful of alum or borax should be placed on the tongue. Diseased areas on the feet should be washed daily with tne creolin solution and af terwards covered with zinc ointment. If this treatment is properly applied and the animals are carefully fed the disease will rapidly disappear.” Among the Newspaper, (Exchange.) There seems to be a feeling among a certain class of business men that a newspaper has no right to make money. Why not? It Is the most ex acting business in the world, th" most trying in every way. It means long hours and the greatest care in its conduct. The newspaper has the en tire public to deal with. It G crltl ° “sd on every hand. It has to deal with a i cranks t a community, and to do this successfully requires Judg- nent and patience. It has power, and ’hat power, to the credit of tournal ism is nearly always wielded for the nubile good. No question of vital con- cern to the People fails to find a strong support from the paper, and this, too. without remuneration. The •mblisher spends his money to further these projects and the community never gives a thought to the matter of cost to him. It is not prid out of the public pocket. The newsoaper wants every concern to nrosper. W r hy should not this good will be mutual? To make a profit a newspaper must have living rates for both paper and advertising space. Putting in Fa|| Oats. (Southern Field.) Now is the time to begin to prepare yourself against the cotton bears that are sure to come after you next fall. Begin now to put in a large crop of winter oats. W'e never fail making a good crop of winter oats when we can get them in the ground just right before the first of November. Plow the land deep, harrow smooth and drill the seed in open furrows. I use a common cotton planter with a fertilizer attachment and put in from 150 lbs. to 20o lbs. of 10-4 acid phosphate to the acre. It is a waste of money to use very soluble ammo- niated fertilizers on small grain sown in the fall. W’e use a shovel plow about six or eight inches wide on the planter foot to open the furrow and make the rows just close enough to not allow anv loose dirt to roll back in the onen trench just planted. Be care ful and don’t allow any dirt to fill in the open trench, and run the rows nearly on a level but should empty out gradually at each end. I Never on any occasion sow seed oats in the fall that has not been grown from fall sowing at least three years; at which this seed may be considered as having the established habit, of winter growing. W© would .also give the preference to seed already grown by <he open trench system over that seed grown from broadcast sowing, though we have no positive proof that the open trench sown seed are the safest. W’e caution all new beginners about securing first-class, pure, clean seed. •Most any up-to-date farmer would tell you that seed oats or wheat planted with cheat, cockle or smutty stuff would not only fill your lands with these foul seeds, but they reduce the yield to an extent that, would make it profitable to pay fivv or more prices for pure seed than to take fould seed at no cost. W’e are now preparing to mow down a crop of about two tons of nea vine to the acre on land that was abandoned three years back by an im provident renter that failed to get more than five bushels of corn or 150 lbs. of seed cotton to the acre. Deep ploughing, cow peas and from 150 lbs. to 200 lbs, of acid phosphate to acre on each crop is all the secret there is in this. This simple application of a little common horse sense, a good deal of horse sweat in a cooperative way, with nature, has made this land that was barren, bloom again, with profit able crops that average over thirty bushels of oats and from one to two tons of pea hay to the acre all in one vear. This land next year would grow a good profitable crop of corn without anv fertilizer, or with the application of about 150 lbs. of acid phosphate we believe it easy to grow 1,000 lbs. of seed cotton to the acre. Aft< r a good crop of peas we don’t need to add any more nitrogeneous iianure. Ordinarly we have nlenty >f this costly fertilizing ingredient stored in the soil by the cow p^a crop Praiseworthy Undertaking. (Charlotte Observer.) The result of the experiment to be made by the North German Lloyd Steamship Company in establishing a line of passenger and freight steam ers between Bremen and Charleston and the establishment of an immi grant station at the latter city will be awaited with singular interest and the whole South will hope for its suc cess. Not every immigration move ment has a practical idea at its basis but. this seems to be one wnicii has. The greater reason for the wish that It may succeed lies in the character and habits of the German people as a whole and especially those of the agriculture and rural classes. They are an intelligent, straight-forward, sturdy, industrious, law-abiding folk and It will be a happy day for the South when an influx of this immi gration begins. We look askance at any proposition to turn the tide of Italian immigration this way. It is said truly that the Italians are of two distinct types, but it is to be leared that along with the good we would get an infusion of the bad, and when they are had they are very bad. no such apprehension need be entertained with regard to the Ger mans. The South could afford to take them as they come, and so with the people of a number of other nation alities; but as badly off as we are fi- labor and population we do not need either so much that we can afford to solicit it without the exer cise of the nicest discrimination. Better no immigration at all than im migrants of the vampire class, who live on the productive energies of others, or are lawless, vicious and tur bulent. The effort of South Caro lina’s immigration agent, through whose activity this experiment of the North German Lloyd is to be under taken, is in the right directic-v CHEAP EXCURSION RATES via SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
