They have used men for footballs and by men have been used fpr the same purpose. They have polished readers and win dows. They have cleaned chimneys, started fires and stuffed sofa pillows.

March 16.?President Tuft's message was received by the senate and house today with demon strations In both bodies. The mes sage was as follows: "To the Semite and House of Repre sentatives: "1 have convened the congress In this extra session in order to (?nable it to give Immediate consideration to 'he revision of the Dingley tariff act. Conditions affecting production, man /ufaeturo and business generally have so Changed In the 1U years as to ro quire a readjustment and revision of the Import duties Imposed by thai net. Wore than this, the present tariff act. with tho othor sourcoB of government revenue, does not furnish income en ough to pay tho authorized expendit ures. Dy Juno 1 next excess of ex penses ovor receipts for tho current ?fiscal year will equal $1.000.000.000. "Tho successful party In the late election Is pledged to a revision of the tariff. Tho country and the business community, especially, expect It. The prospect of a change In tho ratos of Import duties always causes a sus pension or halt In business of tho uncertainty as to the changes to ho made and their effect. It is. there fore, of the highest importance that the new bill bo agreed upon and pass ed With as much Speed as possible consistent With its due and thorough consideration. For these reasons i have deemed the present to he an extraordinary occasion, within the meaning of the constitution, justify ing, and requiring tho calling of an extra session. .

M. * F II Wllkes & Co A 12AHDEN THAT PAYS. Something From It Every Duy Practi cally the Whale Year. Messrs. Editors: In your light to raise the farmers of our section to a level with our section. I am heartily with you. and your past object les SOUS rae very significant, and are held up to view so that the poorest of us need not fall to take advantage of \ them. It is the $T>00 more per farm er that makes the difference between comparative poverty and comparat ive affluence. What comforts to the wife and children, in fact, the . whole family circle, that $500 more would give. Possibly the way 1 inadt $500 this past year may he as effect ive ;>s anything 1 call say. and it is so simple and easy all C011 do it. This is entirely Independent of my farm. First, then. 51 year ago last Novem ber. I plowed up a little strip of ground 40x60 and set it out in straw berries, and in December covered ' the piece with cow manure. Then in December and January 1 covered over about two acres with stable ma nure. 1 also started a few early cabbage and tomatoe plant in a box set in the kitchen window. Along In February 1 plowed up probably one-tenth of an acre for early toma toes, double furrowing the ground, dropping in a piece of potato with one eye, every is inches?Early Hliss the variety?covering them with best rooted stable manure I could get from the barn. Tin- horse plowing covered the entire row with sott ground. I commenced having new potatoes last June, and still have them. (lathered about $30 worth, or 30 husbels. In March I had my entire garden plowed deep, turning under the stable manure that had lain on the ground hat was well covered with it. I iltetl put out my early garden -cab bage, redishes. lettuce, spinach, ear ly turnips, etc. In April 1 pul in parsnips and salsify?having them fresh from the garden almost daily now. Later, planted my summer garden, and in August planted 200 winter cabbage plants that have furn ished us a head a day for three mon ths. Commencing with my early st rawherries and currants in May. 1 have bad something fresh from that garden daily, besides having a surp lus for the two cows and pigs a part of the time. In April 1 deep plowed nearly an acre, harrowed thoroughly, seeded in Amber cane, from which I received over two tons of lino hay. My cane was all cut by September for second or third time. Then I turned under and seeded to rape and hairy vetch; this has kept f>0 hens and one-half dozen pigs In green feed all winter. I plnnted late potatoes in July as second crop, when early garden came off. My two cows have paid me $100 each besides their keep. My pigs paid me over $10 per head net profit. I have got planted some early cab bages?looks "cute" to see them grow ing right near my mature beads. 1 have established a rotation that , would, If I had to buy it. cost me nearly $500, and our old Quaker say ing Is. "A penny saved is worth two earned." CROSS HIM Wil l. HELP. Monument Fund to be Gathered There. A Nice Amount Expected. Cross Hill. Mar. 21).?The Cross Hill people will be willing to contribute their share of the $200 asked of Lau rens county to erect a monument to the women of the Confederacy. It is hoped that some one who remembers how our mothers and sisters denied themselves and worked, making cloth ing, knitting and such like, also how they managed farms and attended to business while the men and boys wero at the front, will go around and give our people a chance to contribute to this cause. I would suggest Instead of a marble shaft, at $1.500, to erect three cottages for orphans, one at Connie Maxwell, one at Epworth, and one at Thornwell, at $f.,000 each. Who will volunteer to get It Up You will always find here the lar. ; gest and best line of Tile in different : colors and designs and at ju ices that will be money saved for you. S. M. & E. H.
