B( can give them m< PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. Mr. Ingraham, of. Sumter County, Gives Som e Intoresting'Facts About Ills Wheat Ciop. (Columbia Cor. News and Courier.) Mr. W. H. Ingraham, of States burg, was -.n the city today. Mr. In graham has just resigned the posi. tion of Master for Sumter County. He got to talking about his wheat planting, and gave som very inter. osting and valuable suggestions of a practical nature. Mr. Ingraham last year planted 20 acres in wheat. He has threshed and had ground 397 bushels, or an average of 1.9 17-'0 por acre. The wheat was planted on gravel land that had b)een abanaioned as unfit oher grain. This1j wheat was 2bushels of cotton seed atop dressing of 100 o the acre. Since the wheat the land a Deering har ud Mr. Ingraham make 3 to 4 tons amno land and 100 vill be sown in wheat $2tton acreage of this farm .,ben entirely given over to small 'grain, as offering the best money maiking crop. The wheat planted b'y Mr. Inigra ham is known as the "lRed May." Mr. Ingraham thinks it produces bet ter results, and before planting is subjected to a blue stone wvash, which p4events "smut" and seems to avoid the worms. Mr. Ingrahamn figures up the cost on his wheat like this: Twenty bushels cotton seed at 10 cents, $2; soda to the acre $2.40, ploughing $1 an acre, harvesting $1 an acre, allow ing for machine he owns. Out of this Mr. Ingraham - gets per acre three barrels of double patent flour, two barrels of seconds, bran and strawv. The straw he uses for pota toes, and he says that with plenty of straw under potatoes they will make from 800 to 500 bushiels to the acre.

This way of scowling like a thunder storm at the more open sins, while man's business obligations to his foi low man are disregarded is not even philosophy." There is not in all the books a more solid chunk of wisdom or decency than is contained in this paragraph, and we hope every one of the dead beats that we have had to drop from time to time because they would not pay us for the paper they had road for twvo or thiree years wvill cut it out and paste it in thei.. hat. ?D FROM this Season in th ty and finer mate ieli known roofs business lies in e invite you to cc price, do you war >e glad to see her here-to-fore, 6 Cheape SAYS IT IS A TRUST.

Jackson, Miss., Septomber 7.--'The light which has been waged in Mis sissippi during the past several weeks against the Sou theastern Tariff Association on the grounds that it is amenable to State statuo against trusts and combines was practically brought to an end today by the asso ciation announcing its intention to abandon the stanping oflico and board for the purpose of preoventing rato cutting amlonig the local agents. Th11 situation hats assumed a veory serious aspect until the association abandoned its position, and t he State was on tho verge of a b'ig insurance mu rddle. Govornor McLaurin had announ codl his intention of proceeding against the Southeastern Associaition by meians of an injunct ion to pro hibit the stamnping oflice, and also prevent the companitIies therein and their agents from doing business in tihe State by wit.hd rawing the for moer.
