Shop Talk.
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
