How to Make Good Crops and How to
Sell Good Crops to the Profit of
the Grower, is Our Effort in
, * This Column.
? Where is the gain to you if you
grow large crops if others get all the
profits?
The man that can see no good in
the Farmer's union because he knows
of a trifling man that belongs to the
'Union, is the same kind of man that
would have something to sav about!
the hole in the dopghnut that some
gooudpoinan gave him.
Kill out the lien law and then the i
.improvident cotton growers will be
forced to grow their own food crops,
thus mcidently forcing diversified;
farming to tie great benefit to laud i
*. and man Killing out the lieu law
' ^ would reduce the amount of mortgaged
coltoa grown by British money
that enables the thriftless class
of cotton growers toprices and the |
spinners to get euougbcheap cotton
to keep going, vbt|k the New York
Cotton exchange worries some of
the better class of grower into selling
their cotton for less than cost.
Down with the lien law, and the
Merchant will have more cash trade,
better class of time customers,
r' .while the poor man can then get his
; goods cheaper on account of improve>
r<ment8 as to risk on the wind and
r weather crop mortgage system that
can tfc luq only on the grafter's plan
where Bill, the sure pay man, is made
to help pay for the loss on John the
man that always comes out behind.
Down with the lien law and you

ponnted in hand by the New York
Cotton excbauge.
% Cut out foreign cotton wires and
all such grafting things as the lien
law system, then the South can control
her great money crop?cotton.
Stop the foolish howling at the

k men off the losing market and kill
the grafter system of lien law

New York Cotton Bears Loose id squid

"JLook out there, boys, our Farmers
anion bear hounds have struck the
trail of several New York cotton Ex*
change men that are prowliug
tround through the cotton towns of
pr State. It is said by some one who
ha$ caught a glimpse of them that
they are rambling around after game
^ n they call "cotton Burner,"

name for a regular New York Cotton
exchange office. It is supposed
that these cotton bears have now

ready to spring out upon any measure
brought before the legislature
looking towards the destruction of
their chances in cotton gamee in
I this State.
Come, boys, let's make a drive for
i '"cotton bears by having a round up
and a general bush-beating for cot[
ton bears down about Colnmbia at
once.
Governor "Comer, ot Alabama, who
ip a large manufacturer of cotton,
and also a manly public citisen, puts
himself on record in a statement
tliaf tU Vow Vnrlr CW.tnn
' i* a fraud. He also states that be
bought 21,000 bales of cotton from
tkem and onlj about fire bales oat of
1 every hundred wree fit to spin. Then
we are prepared to say from this evidence
that the chief stock in trade
f the New York Cotton exchange is
ogtail cotton" and gall.
It is a well known fact that the
,w York Cotton exchange does not
w cotton seed, but instead th?y enirage
the fool managerized cotton

joper time they proceed to draw

in South Carolina, after buck^ps
are knocked out.

Prankj on Comrados That Ara PJayad*
.. Befora the Audianaa.
.ffofctical jokes right in front of
the ahdience are not unknown
among experienced aetors. Care
has to be taken that the business
of the scene is not interfered with,
or the stage manager would speedi-!
lv on the trail of the
v ? r? e
too enterprising humorist.
"A rather cruel but at the same
time very amusing joke was played
upon an unpopular member of a
Shakespearean repertoire company
with which 1 once toured," said a
veteran actor to the writer.
"The unpopular one wna playing
the ghost in 'Hamlet' on this particular.
night, and the scene was
managed in the old fashioned way?
the 'majesty of buried Denmark'
rising through a trap instead of
coming on from the wings, as mod- !
ern ghosts do. Two of the company
stationed themselves beneath the i
stage, and as soon as the victim's i
head went up through the trap they j
began to belabor his legs well with
a couple of stout canea.
"The winch raising the platform
on which the victim stood was turned
very slowly in order to impart
proper solemnity to the fhoefs ap|
pearaftcs. Picture the efforts of
; the poor mummer to prevent the
1 inmu*h he suffered showing on his
! face, which, of oourse, vu in full
ritw of the tudienee!
Worse, far worse, was the fete of
some unfortunate actors who in a
popular melodrama had to drink a
toast in (stage) champagne. In the
ordinary way ginger ale does duty
on the boards for that exhilarating
wine, but on this occasion some
fiend in human form had filled the
bottle with paraffin oil. "We dared
not leave the stage till the fall of
the drop," said one of those who
took part in this unusual festivity
to the writer afterward, but how
we finished that act not one of U3
knows."
In a once popular drama the
leading actress, who was also the
proprietress of the "show," dropped
fioad (aa nfiuali at the end of the
third act one night and lay there in j
full view of the audience waiting |
for the fall of the curtain. But the 1
man who controlled the curtain refused
to lower it.
"You'll have to stay dead," said !
he in a low voice, "unless you prom- j
ise to pay me last month's salary
from tonight's receipts. Move your i
right hand if you agree. I've wit- '
nesses here."
The lady could not argue, but
she waited a full minute. The mu;
tineer remained obdurate. Then
i the actress' right hand moved ever
so slightly and?the curtain fell.?

Natural Varnishes.
Fluid resins or oil from several
different trees are extensively used
in the Philippines as varnishes. One
of them, called oil of supa, is a pale
yellow liquid when freah, but it
| becomes dark and viscous after conj
tact with the air. Spread in a thin
layer it dries slowly and forms a
hard varnish. It is also capable of
being burned in a lamp. Another
natural varnish is balao, also called
oil of apitong. It is white when
fresh, but darkens after exposure
and makes a very tough varnish.
Oil of panto is a third variety, inferior
to the others in its drying
properties. Chemical analysis has
shown that all these wood oils consist
entirely of hydrocarbons known
as sesquiterpenes.
torn* Johnson Definitions.
An exhibition of the relics of Dr.
Samuel Johnson in London recalled
some of the remarkable definitions
that remarkable man inserted in his
dictionary. Among them not the
least curious was tne one given for
"network," which was defined as
"anything reticulated or decussated
at equal distances, with interstices
between the intersections." Other
amusing definitions are: "Cough?
a convulsion of the lunge vellicated
by some shar serosity." "Man?not
a woman, not a boy, not a beast."
'Tension?an allowance made to
any one without an equivalent. In
England it is generally understood
to mean pay to a state hireling for
treason to hi* emmtrv."

'The chief trouble of the miners/'
says an official of Alaska, "is
the lack of variety in their food.
One day a young fellow freeh from
his lot turned Into Seattle and entered
a hotel.
" Uring me some pork and
beans/ was his request. The food
was brought. *Now bring me three
dozen oysters/ The waiter complied.
With the two dishes before

'Well, pork and beans, you have
been very friendly to me all my
days in Alaska. You have stood by
me like good fellows. Now stand

Curious Hits Bo* of His Faculty For ]
Reading Faces.
"I don't vtnt people to look at
my pictures and say how beautiful
tlic drapery is. The face is what I
care about," said Stuart, the great
American painter. He was once
asked what he considered the most
characteristic feature of the face,
lie replied by pressing the end of
his pencil against the tip of his nose,
11 wuuii. |
His faculty at reading physiogno- 1
my sometimes made curious hits. '
There was a person in Newport celebrated
for his powers of calculation,
but in other respects almost an
idiot. One day Stuart, being in the
British museum, came upon a bust
whose likeness was apparently unmistakable.
Calling the curator, he
said, "I see you have a head of 'Calculating
Jemmy.'"
"'Calculating Jemmy!"' repeated
the curator in amazement. "That
is the head of Sir Isaac Newton."
On another occasion, while dining
with the Duke of Northumberland,
his ho.-1 privily called his attention
to a gentleman and asked the
painter if he knew him. Stuart had
never seen him before.
"Tell me what sort of a man he
is."
"I may speak frankly ?**
"By afl means."
"Well, if the Almighty erer wreU

rascal that ever disgraced society.
It appeared that the man waa an
attorney who had been detected in
sundry dishonorable acta.
Stuart's daughter tells a pretty
story of her father's garret, where
many of his unfinished pictures ware
6tored:
"The garret was my playground,
and a beautiful sketch of Mme.
Bonaparte was the idol that I
worshiped. At last I got possession
of colors and an old panel and fell
to work copying the picture. Suddenly
I heard a frightful roaring
sound. The kitchen chimney wa9
on fire. Presently my father appeared,
to see if the fire was likely
to do any damage. He saw that I
looked very foolish at being caught
at such presumptuous employment
and pretended not to see me. But
presently he could not resist looking
over my shoulder.
" 'Why, boy/ said he?so he used I
to address me?'you must not mix
your colors with turpentine. You !
must have some oil.' "
It is pleasant to add that the little
girl who thus found her inspiration
eventually became a portrait
painter of merit.

daily. One day he rushed into the
place and said excitedly: "Hip, loan
