Agricultural Truth a Unit
In an article under the heading
MCultimtioii of corn,” printed in
rfae May number oi The Cultivator,
our Moj. J. H. Dent aaya: “I had
a visit trow au old, experienced
Veriuout farmer who had become
rich trom farming, and in looking
jit our farms and mode of cultiva
tiou he remarked that “Unless grass
gud stoca w**ie raisetl on our farms,«
in a few >ears we would have no
sod to cu 4irate, for no lands could
last so constantly cultivated under
the plow.”
To the above sound Northern con
cep!ion, Georgia's model farmer
replies: "“We see it taking place,
and have resorted to terracing to
save them ; but nothing will save
them and maintain their fertility
like glass, clover and the small
grain crops. Le$ the cultivation of
grain and grass ami the raising of
stock he »nl rged, and the plant
ing of cotton be c urtailed.”
The remarks of tho Vermout far
met call to miod another farmer
born and raised in (ho eold climate
of tuat Northern 8tate, w ho, emi
grating to Western New York in
tue fit it decade ot this century,
made a fortune by fanning, and
did not have a plow on hia farm.
Elis plan was to couvert, through
the ergamzio: power of grass and
the cow, air and water into milk,
hutier, cheese and money, with no
plow to aid the soil in wasting
fertility.
in au early day before the Erie
Canal was made, when it cost two
bushels of w heat in Weslern New
York to svud one bushel to tide
water on the Hudson Itiver, butter
and cheese were taken in boa s and
ou rads down the Cheuaugo and
Susquehanna liiveis to Bal imore
and other distant markets. Wear
iug out land ju producing crops
which are worth less than the
raw mateiial consumed in making
them, is one ol t*-e worst mistakes
in American agriculture. It is
had enough to throw away honest,
haid oork ou the iaim by mis*
applied tillag ; bet to incur a
double Joss, a loss of plant food
as well as ot laber, makes such farm
ing a very unprotitahle indus
try. To u*il the plain truth in the
plamest manner, now many million
laborer-* in ihis great nation ot
farmers cousiim*- in part the earth's
natural b-riiluy to the injury oi
mankind! Our piest-ut system ol
tillage and husbandry has come to
Us by iuheiitanoe. It has spread
almost hopeless sterility over vast
ar as of As a, Africa, Europe and
America, li w > ks the soil, wheth
er dt-ep *>r sh-How, precisely as a
miner wotk*< a gold mine—he t.kes
all that hr- can find that is worth
having, and then opens anew piace
or plantation elsewhere. Kesuta

in some degree. The restitution

Crimiual * Case—Aefoinpin'e as VVii.
ness—Judge’s Charge.
The Mate v*. Hoot. Lee—A’o. 2,^08
The detnulaiit, with one Sarah
Dudley, wer^ indicted for burglary
and grand larceny. When the case
came on for tiial the solicitor stat
ed that, through a mistake, one
Gbailotto Purvis had been includ
ed in the indictment, when she had
not b* eu bound overby the trial
justice for ihe crimes charged, but
as n wi ness. He ibereforeentered
a nolle prosequi as to her, and she
was used as a witness tor^he State.
RobeitLi-e was convicted, and he
appealed, alleging ns error that the
Uucuit Judge ddined to charge
that, w hi lie the evidence of an ac
complice is ciuupetvni, it was his
duty to advise thein not to convict
on the uncorroborated testimony of
an accomplice, and that he erred in
charging that the question in refer
ence to accomplices was not involv
ed in this case.
The Supreme Court decides :
The question whether Charlotte
Purvia was an accomplice was not
one of the issues in the case, which
had to go to the jury as a question
of fact. It was in the nature of an
attack upon her c mpetency, which
question is always for the Court. A
trial Judge is never required to
charge abstract legal propositions.
He is only required to charge the
law as applicable to the case made;
and wbcu a question aiises as to
the competency of a witness he
must determine and decide whether
or not the position of the witness,
which involves sometimes a pre
liminary question of fact, is such as
in law to render him incompetent.
. 1 «:“ou 1 E., (14th Ed.) Sec. 425.
It would be irregular to stop the
case and submit the question to the
jury. He was right in this case,
under the circumstances, in holding
that Charlotte Pu; vis was not au
accomplice.

Marion’s Grave
It is a sad commentary ou the
gratitude of a people to know t bat
the grave ot Francis Marion, in
Georgetown County, is in a dilapi
dated and tumble down condition.
A broken marble slab is all that is
left to tell where reposes the ashes
of this hero of other days, the
“Swamp Fox” of the Revolution.
Others no more renowned have
aoanments to tell of their deeds,
bat none for him. Yet, when ali
was gloomy, and the people in de
spair, it was very largely through
bis skill, courage and energy that
the death-blow was struck to the
Tories and British in the low-conn-
try, and tbas made possible the se
ries of victories eadiag at York-
town ■^-'Manning Time*.

A correspondent at Eastovon
Richland County, writes to The
News and Courier as follows, under
date of the 24th instant:
“Eastover will be a power yet
Mr. J. D. Stanle.v his just received
his full outfit o! fi.te machinery for
m umf cturing pine straw bagging,
and will have it in operation in a
few days. Ho will be able to sup
ply the entire surrounding country
wifh bagging at 5 cents less per
yard than the cost of jute bagging.
I expect we will not bother the
Bagging Trust uuy more for bag
ging as we are having it manufac
tured here in our little town at a
much lower price. We all wish Mr.
Stanley much success.
<l P. S.—You will also pb-ase say
that, it has been examined, and has
proved to be as good as the jute
bagging in every respect.”
