Since our big press went to wuasli we liave been with fear and IWaibling expecting another breakdawn, as we were able only to nsjiair the machine for temporary use. rRealizing the k>s< and aacouveniepee that a serious breakk would fring about, we placed L iW Arder yesterday for a bran new ton cylinder newspaper press ?> pf"th^Jatest and fastest modtMfcjTus -press _wHl cost us over sdelrvered and set up. We <fin ill afford to put in this ex of machinery, having ^ t* Writ mostly on credit, but we l?o?pti our loyal subecril>ers to help vs t* pay -for it. We don't ask anyone to give Us a cent; but you can ^'iw by paying jour subscription *7 c7 ayfckr or two years in advance. Witfc this ne,w press and our other p-to-date type and material, the physical condition of our plant is second to none in this part of the tate, and we hope, for a time at least, that our machinery troubles are at an end. The break-down of the big press *? ? Miwpd hv an accident, which? whether or not due to carelessness ? has cost us from first to last several hundred dollars. We thought we had a press that would last for years and it went to smash all in a day. But such is life?especially a> personified by a country newsx puper. It is ju3t as well to remind f law-abiding sportsmen that in shooting robins they are violat? ing the game laws. Another terrible warning to parents who give their children deadly weajons as play-things is convcved by the Florence tragedy. Monday afternoon a ten-year-old l*>y, armed with a loaded shotgun, started out tv? hunt rahhits* The gun fired accidentally in the house killed the U>y's baby sister and shattered the arm of a lady visitor who chanced to he in range of the death-dealing missiles. What a lesson! I According to the Augusta Chronicle our insouciant Cliief Executive, while in Augusta on a visit, told a newspaper man that he "could lick any man in South Carolina for office except Hen Tillman." Without in the least under-rating or discounting the modest estimate placed upon his popularity hy our esteemed Coventor, in a man-to-man race between. Mease and Mcix-od, we would giVe o<Ms of three to one on the Bishopville man, if the election were pulled *?iY next week. DON'T BURN LEAVES. They Should Be Turned Over Into the Soil as Fertilizers. Fools burn leaves, leaving for themselves a pinch of poor ash. but sending bark into the air what was taken from it by the process of growth. These thousands of tons are not made out of the earth, but out of the air, and are intended to be turned over into soil. If you plant a tree in a tub of dirt and leave it there until it weighs a hundred pounds you will find by weighing the dirt that the tree was not made up of what was in the tub, but almost altogether of what it could get from the air?carbon and nitrogen for the mo6t part, with hydrogen composing a good share of the liquid part of sap. The elements of the soil that are not in 1113 air are ueep uuwn uuuer the surface of the soil or incorporated in the rocks. The most im-. portant are potash and phosphorus. You get some potash from ashes, weed waste, soapsuds, and there are a few'soils that in their natural state are entirely deficient in this element. The timber soils of our corn belt contain about 2,000 pounds of phosphorus per acre. Raising crops that use up these elements steadily lessens the possibil-1 ity of growing any crops at all. We hare got to find them in the soil; if we use them up we hare got to replace them. Agriculture should be renamed aericulture, because we are really taking from the air the larger part of our annual crops. What we must know is how to do this most readily. Our fathers knew that they must use manure, and they knew that they must rotate creps. They knew also that living plants fed on deeding plants, this having first erred as feod for animals.?OutOur Clubbing Bates We offer cheap clubbing rates with a number of popular newspapers and periodicals.
