[Special to News and Courier.]
Columbia, September 29.-The
quarterly statement of the dispensary
business for the three months of
June, July and Augnst has been filed
with Governor McSweeney. It shows
what a large business the dispensary
is doing and how the profit is being
added to the "school fund" in the
regular reports. The most impor
tant phase of the report is that the
dispensary continues to carry over
$600,000 worth of stock at the State
dispensary and throughout the sub.
dispensaries. The report shows that
for the three months of June, July
and August the dispensary reports
show a net profit, "passed to the
credit of the school fund," of $16,
712.26. The quarterly report will
be of intense interest to those who
are looking at the dispensary from a
financial standpoint. The report
reads as follows:

News is very scarce.
Most of the cotton crop has been
gathered and sold. The crop is short
but the price holding up as well as
could be expected and has helped us
poor farmers out considerably.
The corn crdp of this section on
a general average is better than for
several years, and there is a groat
deal planted.
The health of our section is very
good at present.
Our schools will all soon open.
Prof. L. S. Sease will teach again at
Monticello. Mr. T. 1i. Mills will
teach at O'Neall and at present we
can't say who will teach at Saluda
and Fairview.
Messrs. Long Bros. are building
Mr. T. M. Mills a home near O'Neall
Academy on Mrs. W. H. Long's
place.
Q .uire WV. H. Long spent Sunday
o.irning with the writer, who al
ways enjoys the Squire's company.
Some of our early farmers are
gethering corn and sovAng oats.
It has been some time since we
attempted to write for a newspaper
and it comes somewhat awkwvard, but
we are always glad to get The Herald
and News and read the other cor
respondents' letters.
WVe are glad to see that onir friend
and ever obliging fellow-citizen, Mr.
John WV. Earhardt is a candidate for
muayor of the city of Newberry, and
we would be proud to see him el,ect.
ed, and we feel confident that John
nie would make the city a good
mayor and discharge his duties as an
officer, fearlessly treating all fairly
and squarely.
WVe learn with regret that Rev.
J. A. Sligh has tendered his resigna
tion as pastor of Mt. Pilgrin. Church
We are also sorry that falsehoods
has been circulated on Mr. Sligh,
and we hope that the mist will soon
clear away arnd that the sunlight and
truth may soon reign again.

Hl,W TO sAVI sWUNT POTATOES.
Mr. A W n1ratinm Toll.. ow ho Pale Away
Potatoes for thu Winter so that they 11o
not Unt or Loso One Pound Per
Aluehel Inr Weight or sprout
-ill Noar Midsummer. V
I
[News and Courier.] u
The time is near at hand when the
sweet potato crop will be harvested
and, as nsual, put away to spoil. V
Perhaps there is no crop that spoils 0
upon the farmerls' hands equal to the
potato crop. It is safe to say that
a
half of all the potatoes put away for
winter and spring use spoil, either
q
by rotting in winter or sprouting t,
and drying out too much in spring. p
Such heavy losses in this valuable
a
erop put me to thinking and to ex
perimenting. Of course, success did e
not come the first year, but it did
come, and now I do not lose 1 per S
cent. of my potatoes, and I believe I
can keep them in an absolutely per
fect condition till August. T
It was thus that I came to make
my discovery: I noticed that when I w
put away my potatoes that those si
nearest the bottom of the pit, lying
on the damp earth, in contact with
no straw or other foreign matter,
kept better than those that were pro
tected. (Y) by straw or other cover
ing, and 1 reached a conclusion that i
should I put my tubers deep enough
into the earth, keep out all rain and
sold, that the problem was solved.
This I have proved beyond any et
doubt. d
As soon as the first frost in Octo Q
ber nips or bites my potato vines I ti
put in ploughs and -band rakes and al
iarvest my crop. I dig pits three feet
vids, .ix f0nt. long and live feet deep, r<
lill in with potatoes to within two a
feet of the top. Any kind of clean, H
iry stuff, such as hay, fodder, rice, c
at or whoat straw may be used to 01
ill .A the remaining space up to the tl
3urface, then a roof of boards is w
made to shed off the rain, and upon r<
this roof is thrown two or three b
nches of earth to ' cp out the cold. tI
Potatoes thus put away will not v
rot, or lose one pound per bushel in ff
veight, or sprout till midsummer. 0
&nd they sweeten and get softer as h
they age and mellow in their sepul
3hral-lke receptacle. b
Just. here I am led to think that J
this method would be an ideal one J
for keeping apples, late peaches, 0
pears, grapes; in fact, all kinds of n
fruits and vegetables, perfectly fresh tI
from one season to another. ti
Fruits and conserves were exhumed zr
rnly a few years ago at Pompeii and
other buried cities of the East just p
ESa fresh as they wore when put away h
in cans and jars nearly two thousand
years ago. And from this discovery k
the great canning industry of today c
sprung. e
In p)uttinIg away potatoes in pits b
there are simple rules that must be 5
followed:
Dig or harvest potatoes before 0
hard frost. Frost bitten potatoes
will not keep and, even could they
be kept, they are not edible.
Do not dig your pit deeip enough
for the water to sip (seep) into the
p;. On a high elevation you may
dig the pit as deep as you wish, but -
on very low lands do not go so deep. I
Do not put any straw or any for- c
eign substance on the bottom of your s
pit. P'at the potatoes on the cool, j
damp earth.c
Use no "sidings" of anything b
against the walls of your pit. Let r
the tubers be in contact with the e
cool, damp earth. t
Do not .Aake your pits too large. C
Three feet wide, six feet long and I
five feet deep will give good results I
on high land. On low lands three
feet will be dee.p enough; fill halfi
full of p)otatoes whou t he pit is threee
feet deep.t
If the top filling of straw is not i
sound and( (dry, fr'ee from all mould 1
or rot, use no( sitraw at all.
Be sure that the roof of the piti
does not leaik. UHe hoards free fromt
holes or curn cracks. A leaky roofc
moans rotten piotattoes,
Keep all COldJ wind ont o,f the pit I
by pumtig earth npon the roof uand
around t he# gable's. Allow no water
to get Rnto the pit.
By following thes~e simple rules
you carn have delicious potatoes on
your tabl the yer round. The
nger the potatoes stay in the pit
kie better they get.
Prof. J. S. Newman's plan of dry
)g potatoes will not compare at all
rith my plan. To use a street slang,
'rof. Newman is not "in it." Why
se dried potatoes when you can
ave fresh ones all the time?
There are great economic agricul
iral problems to solve and, like any
ther problems, they can be solved;
t least all finite questions have an
nawer; those infinite have none and
'e have t,ither time nor business in
uestioning them. But all the mys.
)ries making doubtful the way of
regressive man will be cleared up
s the sunlight banishea the morning
iists and the crooked ways made
iraight and the pathway made
lain. And the great philosopher,
hakespeare, when he said:
here are more things in Heaven and
earth, Horatic,
han are dreampt of in your philoso
phy,
as divining a truth broader than its
irface showed.

[Washington Star, Sept. 27.]
When Senator Harris, of Kansas,
set toot in Washington yesterday,
after his trip abroad, he wore a pair
of shoes that will becomo an object
lesson in the Kansas campaign.
"These shoes that I am wearing,"
said Senator Harris to a representa
tive of the Post yesterdyy, "are of
American manufacture. I bought
them in London and paid for them
20 per cent. less than is charged for
the same make of shoes on Pennsyl
vania avenue, in WashingtoL."
Although he went abroan in the
interest of the St. Louis World's
Fair, Senator Harris did not forget
politics. He remembert d that when
he was abroad ten years ago he found
that American goods were obtaina.
We at a much cheaper price than in
this country, and this year, with the
trusts and the tariff the leading issue
in the campaign, he made some addi
tional inquiries.
AMERICAN (1G0os CIIEAPEIa ABROAD.
"Everything of American make is
cheaper abroad than in this coun.
try," he said. "My work for the St.
Louis Exposition took me to all the
great stock farms, and I was particu
lar to ask what the Englishmen paid
for American farming machinery,
pitchforks, hatchets and other neces
saries of farm management, and I
found that they paid a groat deal
less than I am forced to pay in
Kausas City for the same articles.
It seems a very great injustice and
imposition fc American citizens to
be forced to pay such high prices
hero when foreigners secure the
same things at a much lower rate.
It is the high tariff that is to blame.
The American - manufacturer says
that he must be protected against
the foreigner. This is not true. He
has nothing to fear from the foreign
inannfacturer, because he is success
fully invaling the foreign arket.
Neither is it. true that the American
goods which are sold abroad are sur
plus products. The Amricanl mann
facturer is t;elling his goods at a fair
profit abroad and att a tremendous
profit at home."
"What is the remedy?"
"It seems to me that it would be
very easy to lower the tariff, which
would give the American consumer
anU opp)ortunity to puIrchase0 Ameri
can goods at a decreased price, and,
if necessary, the Americani manuifac
turer could raise the p)rice slhghtly
ab)road. Sonmet hmg, however, ought
to be done. The present condition
of affairs is not just to the American
consumer, and 1 (10 not believe the
American people will stand it much
longer. Something is radically
wrong wheun I can buy American
shoes abroad for less '.hani I pay for
them here, notwithstanding the fact
that freight for three thousand1 miles
has to ba paid upon themi."
TRnUsTi issUE APPEALs5 TO' PEOP'LE.
Although he has been abroad,
Senator Harris has kept in touch
with political developments in the
Uzit.ed Stsites, and said that lhe was
not surp)rised1 that trusts and the
tariff as it affects the trusts weret he

"and still believe, that the Demo.

LAST OROP REPORT.
Cotton Cop Not as Mood ias wanS xp tctd.
Iloe Crop Very Satinfactory.
Columbia, September 30.--The
last of the crop reports issued under
the auspices of the department of
agriculture for this season was sent
out today. The report indicates that
the cotton crop is not as good as was
to be expected. It reads as follows:
The week ending Monday Septem
ber 29, was slightly warmer than
usual, with a mean temperature of
about 76 degrees, a maximum of 93
degrees at Darlington on the 27th
and a miminum of 59 degrees at.
Bowman and Bennettaville. Sun
shine was slightly deficient, with
more cloudiness towards the close of
the week, when showery conditions
prevailed.
The rainfall was quite general over
the State, although below normal,
with a numbt r of localities that had
from one to two inches. Tohe rain
was needed and benefited late cotton,
late corn, peas, gardens, cane, truck,
and put the soil in excellent condi
tion for sowing outs, and while it in
terfered with cotton picking it did
not damage the staple to any mate
terial extent.
Early and mledium corn is being
housed, while very late corn is only
now ripening.
Early cotton is practically all open
and picked, except in numnerous lo
calities where laborers are scarce.
Some fields have been picked out.
Late cotton is now opening freely
and is mostl1) Op1n, except the nrew
fruitage that, in a few localities, is
heavy, but will nieed a full month of
favorable weat her to re-ach matu rity ;
in most fields there is no top crop,
or else a very small one. Estimates
of yields have been raised by some
correspondents and lowered by others,
and from the average of these esti.
mates it appears that. the yield f.,r
tihe State will probably compare fi
vorab)ly with last, year. Sean island
cotton is ia better crop than usual,
and although it opened slowly here
tofore is now op)ening rapidly. The
linit of both upland anid sien island
cotton is of a high grade andl very
little has been1 wveathber stained. In
general, picking is farther advanced
than usual at this (late and will prob.
ably he finished (hiring October.
Rice harvest made favorable pro
gress, with May anid Jumne p)lanitinlgs
ripening and( about ready to cut. The
rice crop is very satisfactory. Truck
crops are doing well. Peas very
greatly in condition, but average a
fair crop. TIhe saime is true of grass
for hay. A moderate crop of both
peavine arid other hay has been saved
ini fine condition. Oat.s sowing made
slow progress, but early sown oats
are comning upl to good stands. Mi -

WHITE ILLI, ERA Y.

That there is much to be done be
fore white illiteracy in the S>ntbern
States can be reduced to a mnore de
sirable percentage, says the Macon,
Ga., Telegraph, may be seen from
the following statement of the per
cent. of illiteracy of both racet, take-i
from the Federal census of 1900

Mississippi recartly made libet al
appropriation for popular education
although it already has the smallest
per cent of illiteracy among the
white and the negro majority in the
State is in the neighborhood of i0,
000. It might be thought. that the
percentage of illiteracy among the
whites in a "black State" such as
Mississippi is due to the fact that in
such a State the white employer class
is relatively larger and the white la
boring class is relatively smaller than
in other States. But the figures for
South Carolina, another black State,
show a larger percentage of white il
literacy than is found in Virgit.ia,
Georgia, Florida or Arkansas, all of
which have considerable white ma
jorities. Greater interest in educa
tiotn would therefore seem to be t.he
main cause of Mississippi's enviable
low percentage of white illiteracy.
