t SI For Ou We take pie, F as we assure \ High GRAD1 WILLIAMSON PLAN APPLIED TO COTTON. IT B CLAIMED TIAT MODE THAN A A BALE Tt THE ACIE CAN BE PIODKCED. , It has been the ambition of every farmer in the South to make at least one bale of cotton to the acre. Very few of them have ever tried to make more than one bale to the acre. It can be done. And from recent experiments it looks a9 though the time is not far distant when the new "Williamson Plan" will . be used by every farmer in the South. In writing of his experiments, B M Hudson of Camden -says: "As the 'Williamson corn aethod' has been such a blessing to South Carolina and as i have been accused of withholding what information I have had on the subject for 'selfish motives/ I want to say to the farmers of South Carolina that the Williamson method is just as , necessary for cotton as tor corn. "On the average lands of South Carolina it is impossible to make i -:a full crop of cotton if you have *an early spring crop, and this . I say after years of experience. | I have noticed this year my own |, crop and several others and find , that the best cotton today was i the poorest the first of July, and , the best cotton we had in this , sccantry in June is the poorest | wow compared to what it should i be, ^ "While this may be doubted ] . hv some. I can prove my asser- 1 ' tion by some of the leading men of the county. The method is i simple and, unlike the William- i son method ot corn, will apply j to * large amount ot fertilizer, a i small amount or none at all. i uPlant the first week in April, i plant and cultivate flat; your crop will grow slowly in the spring, but will grow in July and August, when your neighbor's has failed. Yours will fruit close and make at least a third more thau cotton planted on a . bed and worked to get a ^uick growth in June. The best crop in tt^is section today was considered a failure the first of July. This is the method by which I made 163 bales of cotton on 150 acres and will do as well or better this year. "I write not for notoriety, but that I may be of some benefit to any fellow farmers. If I was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt I would never give my experience to the public. At 12 cents a pound 163 bales averaging 500 pounds would be $9,780,00 for the ginned cotton. Think what a big thing that would mean for the South! If the ''improved method" of planting cotton is successfully tried and promoted by the majority of farmers in South Carolina next year there will be such an increase in yield, and consequently in money value, that it is almost beyond figures. And the fleecy cotton is not all to be considered. Think of the increased yield of cotton seed. With the growing demand for cotton seed it will not be many PECIA : FALL - a sure in inviting :ALL A ^ou that we have th E CLOTHING an ? years now before many cotton planters will be trying- to increase the yield of their cotton seed. Along this line a prominent cotton seed expert, who was addressing a crowd at the Jamestown exposition recently, said: "Last summer I had the pleasure of introducing my friend, Professor Dolbear, who is, perhaps, our greatest living scientist, to one of my friends, a cotton seed oil official. In a semi serious way I*rofessor Dolbear referred to seedless fruits and suggested the creation of seed* less cotton. 'Professor,' the oil man ejaculated, 'you had better make a cottonless seed, for that's where the fnonev is.'n SNAKE STMT Fill FLORENCE. Nero killed free lite of as lloosaaliy Larie Rattier. Florence, September 19:?A well-known engineer on the Atlantic Coast Line, informed The News and Courier correspondent this morning of a moat interesting snake story. One day last week Section Master Matthews, of the Mount Holly section, on the Northeastern railroad, had his gang of hands at work cutting down bushes on the right of way near a swamp three miles south of 8trawberry. One of the hands, John Jenkins, a negro, who was cutting some small sweet gum bushes near the stump of an old tree, all of a sudden he felt something strike him on the leg, and as he looked be ?w the head of a monster snake, a rattler, lying about three feet from him. Knowing that he had been bitten, he rushed from the bushes and hallooed "snake." The other negroes rushed from the bushes and to Jenkins* assistance. It was soon j found that Jenkins had been bitten on the leg and he was placed on a handcar and harried to Mount .Holly, where some whiskey was procured aud poured down the uegro, who iu that time, just seven minutes, was beginning to suffer agonies from the poison. A physician was sent for from Summer ville, but it was 3ome time before he could reach the sick man, and the result was that he died several hours afterward. Mr. Matthews, the section master, as soon as he reached Mount Holly, and after baring the negro's leg, measured the place where the snake had stuck his fangs in the leg, just below the knee, and by actual measurement it showed that the two fangs in the upper jaw measured two inches apart and the distance between the upper and lower jaw. where the fangs entered was just 4 1-4 inches, shewing tnat it must have been a monstrous snake indeed to have such a very large mouth. In the eicitement when the negro was bitten no one had presence of mind, or took the time to kill the snake, and when the party returned the snake had moved away and could not be found. Where it lay in its bed and whefe the negro stood were just two and and one-half feet apart, showing that the reptile was of unusual length, or it wonld have been impossible to have struck his object so far away. Where the reptile had lain in the bushes he had made a bed some five feet in diamater. An effort is to be made to capture the monster reptile by a party of snake hunters and if secured he will be placed on exhibition.
