It SET It PHELPS DE AD. HA Former Kfngstree Man Found i;|^rozen to Deatb at Charleston. Hnt 3 o'clock yesterday (Sunday) f tnoftiinp a citizen goinp to his home saw ? heap covered over with snow H?> at the corner of Simons street and ^^KsitlgdRe avenue. This unusual looky * Spihfc dbject aroused his curiosity, so ?p ? he knocked some of the snow from ^S|||?|frd fouud it to be a man. He telephoned to police headquarters 3kd the police automobile hurried to y*ke scene. The man was taken to e hospital. It was hoped that life ight be found in him, but he was onounced dead as soon as the docr examined him. The body was kept at the hospital itil about noon yesterday,when the latives of the dead man came and sntified him as Seth Phelps, resi I^Pnce No 19 Cooper street. Phelps's dins said yesterday that their father Bad left his home on Friday and at since then they had not seen jpn until they found him dead at Roper hospital. Mr Phelps's oldest Ion said he had been hunting constantly for his father since Friday, and that he had no rest. The worn look on the young man's face proved the truth of this statement. Yesterday afternoon the body was taken to McAlister's funeral establishment, on Meeting street, where an inquest was held by the coroner, After the inquest the coroner anL nounced his decision that the man V had come to his death by lying B down while intoxicated and going to sleep and freezing to death. J The dead man was a car repairer "rB fn? th?

I immedi- j ately went over and found my pood (father dead. I at once called up Mr McAlister to take full charge of his ? ren.:iins.

It is not necessary for me to dissect your wrong statements, as 1 wish to give you the correct facts as to my father's whereabouts on the evening beB| fore he was found 6n Simons and ' Jflfrtledge avenue in his pitiful con- J ||?^tion.

I did lfcbTINli *sEEl> CORN. i Important Matter Emphasized by , Cleinson Extension Bureau.. Seed corn which has been stored j through the winter under ordinary J conditions in South Carolina is often thought to need no testing before planting. But the high price of land and the additional expense of rei planting the field demand that the i j 1 progressive farmer know more about; the quality of seed that he is to plant. The proper time to make the germinating test is about three weeks before planting, so that if any bad ^ ' ears are found in the lot and dis| carded, the ears which are to take ' their place may also be tested be; fore the seeds are placed in the soil. ' A convenient sized testing box for ! the average farmer is one that is 24 inches by 24 inches and about 4 to 6 inches deep. This box can be made 1 from six inch plank or a soap or starch box sawed down to the dej sired depth can be used. This box ! should have a layer of at least two j inches of wet sawdust packed tightly over the bottom. It will be found convenient to wet the sawdust in an old sack by letting the sack containing the sawdust soak in warm water for 20 to 30 minutes,so that the sawdust | may have an equal moisture content throughout. Having completed the box, take a pieco of white cloth,which should be a little larger than the box, and mark off one hundred squares 2x2 inches. Number each of these consecutively from 1 to 100, then dip this cloth into a bucket of water and stretch it evenly over the sawdust, t When the tester is complete, take t the ears of corn to be tested and a number each ear. Then take six t kernels from each ear, two from op- t posite sides of the butt, two from c ! opposite sides of the middle and two ? | from opposite sides of the tip. See n I that no towo kernels are taken from ! s the same row, and if the butt and n tip kernels are taken one inch from v the end of the ear, this will be an h average sample. Having taken the c | kernels from the ear, place them in s the square which is numbered to C correspond to the number of the j C ear. Allow no two of them to touch, t place them with the heart side up, F and all of the tips pointing in the a same direction. When grains from b all the ears have been placed in the n squares which correspond to the h number of the ear from which they c were taken, place another piece of h wet cloth on top of them and cover b i this with 2 to 3 inches of wet saw-: o dust. Then place the box in some c place where it will remain warm. At h the end of four days dampen the t sawdust again by sprinkling some a warm water over it. At the end of b four days dampen the sawdust again by sprinkling some warm water over c it. At the end of a week the tester : should be examined by carefully re- 2 moving the sawdust and top cloth. 1 The numbers of all squares which do not show six big healthy sprouts should be ascertained, and the ears' i' which have the corresponding num-; ^ bers should not be planted.

I write this letter to let you know 4 hat I will be in the Warehouse usiness again this coming season, it Kingstree, S C. So my advice is o plant some tobacco; but be sure 0 plant only what vou can take care if. Above all things, try to make a T rood quality. To do this no one nust over-crop himself. Burn and ow enough plant land to put out nore than you expect to set, so you J vill have enough good, strong, lealthy plants to set your whole rop at first season. The crop was 2. hort last year, not only in South ,'arolina but the bright belt of North ... Carolina and Virginia, as well, I hink vou can exDect Drofitable rices, even with a large increase in : creage over last year and the year ; efore. We expect to have a great ( rcany more buyers than we have ad for a number of years, so that ompetition will be strong. All the irger companies are short on our right types. With the demand for ur South Carolina tobaccos inreasing every year it certainly j >oks bright to me.
