Mini. -- U Demoralizing.
Any laborer of a type to do Intelli?
gent <>r satisfactory farm work, Is not
willing to work only eight or nine
no?nths In the year, unless paid a full
year's wages for the shorter period
of service. In fact, good labor de?
mands constant employment, and any
system of farming which enforces a
period of Idleness on labor must bear
the burden of supporting the laborers
during the period of Idleness as well
as when they are working. Further?
more, a cropping system which does
not furnish constant work for farm
laborers Is demoralizing in Its In?
fluences on the laborers and begets
Inferior service. It matters not that
a large part of our farming is done
by negroes and other tenants and that
these are largely at liberty to work or
play as they may see fit, the cropping
system which offers opportunities for
long periods of Idleness Is extravagant
and demoralizing on all farm labor.

FATAL SHOOTING AT BATES*
I BURG.
< I i in on Rhoden Shot to I>cnth hy W
n. <.i. iiu.
Patosburg. March 24.?An unfor?
tunate tragedy was enacted here to?
day, when W. R Glenn, superintend?
ent of the electric light plant, shot
Clinton Rhoden to death, on one of
the main streets of the town. The
weapon used was a pistol; four shots
were fired, and each shot took effect.
One witness stated that Rhoden was
unarmed. It is stated that there had
heen had hlood hetween the men for
some time. Much sympathy is ex?
pressed for all parties concerned, as
each man has a large family. The
affair has cast gloom o\er the town,
i Y. B. Smith, who is a special po?
licemen said on oath that he saw the
two men knocking each other on the
sidewalk, near the telephone office;
that they then backed In an alley,
Rhoden backing and Glenn advanc?
ing; that then h^ saw Glenn stop and
,lraw a pistol and throw it on Rho?
den and advance; that he heard the
shooting and ran there as fast as he
could; that when he reached the
spot, Rhoden was dead and Glenn
said: "He waylaid me last night, and
I can prove it." "When I searched
the body I found no weapons on the
person," testified the officer.
A. H. Blease, who keeps a butcher
shop near Rhoden's place of busi?
ness, testified that about five minutes
before the shooting occurred Rhoden
was standing in front of his store,
and told him that he and Glenn had
had a little difference, and that he
was going into his store and put a
pistol in his pocket; witness said he
told him not to do anything of the
kind, as it was foolishness to have
a fuss. After that Rhoden vent in
his store and in about two minutes
Glenn passed, going in the direction
of the telephone office. That when
he got near the telephone office Rho?
den called him, (Glenn;) that he
went out on the street and hit Glenn
in the face, Glenn hit back, Rhoden
then threw his hand to his pocket as
If trying to pull a pistol; Glenn then
drew his and began to fire with fatal
effect.

The many friends of the genial Col.
Mike Powers will be interested to
learn that he has inaugurated an in?
novation in farming operations in the
use of a pair of hogs instead of mules
on his tine up-to-date farm across the
Ashley liver.
Col, Powers had a pair of mules
j with which he was not at all satisfied
I and with true sporting instinct, he ac
' cepted the offer of a trade, made by
I Magistrat? Struhs, of Red Top. The
j judge sent down to Col. Powers' farm
the pair of hogs and the colonel de?
livered the pair of mules. The hogs
were hitched to the plough and ac?
cording to the reports received here,
the hogs are ploughing the field and
the deal which the colonel made ia
working out very satisfactorily to all
i
concerned.?Charleston Post.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
It
Is an Internal Disease and Re?
quires an Internal Remedy.
The cause of Rheumatism and kin?
dred diseases is an excess of uric acid
in the blood. To cure this terrible dis?
ease this acid must be expelled and
the system so regulated that no more
acid will be formed in excessive quan?
tities. Rheumatism is an internal
disease and requires an internal rem?
edy. Rubbing with Oils and Lini?
ments will not cure, affords only tem?
porary relief at best, causes you to
delay the proper treatment, and al?
lows the malady to get a firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the pain,
but they will no more cure Rheuma?
tism than paint will change the fibre
of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumacide." Tested in hun?
dreds of ea.-ses, it has effected the
most marvelous cures; we believe it
will cure you. Rheumacide "gets at
the joints from the inside," sweeps
the poisons out of the system, tones
up the stomach regulates the liver
and kidneys and makes you well all
over. Rheumacide "strikes the roots
of the disease and removes Its cause."

BATTLE OVFR COTTON.
ENGLISH AND AMERICAN SPECIT
LATOR8 IN DEADLY COMBAT.
n Ihe Effort to Brenk Patten's Cot?
ton Corner English Speculators
Ship Cotton From Iiiverpool to
New York?Fatten Confident of
Winning the Fight for High Pried
Cotton.
New York. March 24.?Following
up the recent attempt on the floor of
the Manchester Exchange to mob
James A. Patten, Chicago plunger in
wheat and cotton, English specula?
tors in the latter product yesterday
made another sensational move
against the Chicagoan and his asso
iates here.
In a desperate effort to escape from
the corner in which they find them?
selves they have begun to ship cotton
back to this ct mtry in the hope of
>reaking the market and of bringing
Patten and his friends to their knees
if not to ruin.
Ten thousands of bales have been
put aboard ships scheduled to sail
from Liverpool today, and threats
are made of equally large shipments
in the next week. Meantime, Patten
and his associates are shipping cotton
to the other side to supply the de?
mands of the spinners and at the
same time they are keeping the quo?
tations here just sufficiently below
those in Liverpool to prevent their
foes from buying the cotton the-re
and reselling it here except at a
heavy loss.
About 4,000 bales were shipped by
Patten last week, it is said, and he
has chartered space in the White Star
liner Indian to take about 7,000 ad?
ditional bales. The Indian was to
sail today, but is to be held for a day
or so on Patten's behalf.
"My $12.000,000 are in the pot,"
Patten wired to friends in this city
last night, "and I mean to stick. Let
them send the cotton. On every bile
that they ship they will lose from $4
to $5, and we can stand if if they
can."
Eugene G. Scales, who is working
in harmony with Patten, echoed triat
statement.
"All this talk of shipping cotton
here in a !ar?e quantity to affect the
market is rot," Scales said emphati?
cally. "There are not more than about
100,000 bales loose in England. All
the remainder of the 700,000 or 800,
000 bales over there is in the hands
of spinnevs. Let them send what
they can here. They've got to get it
somewhere to make deliveries un the
short sales they have been making
or they must pay our price."
The men lined up in this great bat?
tle are Midwood & Co., one of the
largest firms of cotton speculators in
England, on one side, and James A.
Patten, W. P. Brown, F. B. Hayne,
and E. G. Scales on the other. Mid
wood & Co., it is said, are being sup?
ported by J. H. McFadden & Co.. of
Philadelphia, regarded as the largest
operators in spot cotton in the United
States. It is asserted this firm is also
short of the market.
The war, in which the climax ap?
pears to be near, and in which the
millionaires of the English and Amer
can cotton pits have staked their for?
tunes, began about a year ago, when
Patten and his friends, foreseeing a
Abort crop, began to buy.
They worked the price from nine
cents a pound to about 10 cents and
accumulated, it is said, options that
virtually cornered the market for the
1909 crop.
Then they began to unload and got
out handsome profits, all except
Scales, who, it is said, held on and
was caught when the McFaddens be?
gan to pound the market, with the
result that he lost a million or so of
! bis profits.
Then Patten ?and the others started
to buy, and for a second time corn?
ered the product, while the specula?
tors in England and the bear element
in this country, disbelieving his cries
of a short crop, were selling short.
Xow the Pattens hold the cotton and
the English find themselves confront?
ed with contract! to deliver hundreds
of thousands of bales, with only a
traction of the quantity in their pos?
session, and no means of getting any
more except at the prices fixed by
Patten and his friends.

the final result was missed by only
3,000 bales.
Practical Gardening.
Mrs. J. H. Atkins.
I have been superintending the gar?
dening at home for many years, and
experience has taught me that, at
least, three things are essential for a
good garden?namely, a good loca?
tion, good rich soil and fresh seed, not
novelties, but the varieties you have
tried and found to be good.
I believe that practical common
sense methods are as necessary in
garden work as any other, and that
making the greatest quantity and the
finest quality of vegetables, with the
least amount of labor and expense, is
the secret of good and successful gar?
dening.
Several years ago I gardened on a
city lot on the intensive plan, but at
present I live on a farm, and raise
vegetables on the extensive order and
will tell how I manage to save time
and labor.
My garden is one acre long and a
half acre wide. I run all the rows
the long way and wide enough to cul?
tivate with the plow, as it is easier
and resists drought better than when
hand worked.
I have a permanent bed through the
centre four feet wide, on which I
grow asparagus, rhubarb, horse-rad?
ish, garlic, sage and other herbs, and
leave space on one end for a bed of
annuals for the children. I also have
another bed the entire length of the
garden, same width, made very rich
anl planted one-half in onion sets
which I mulch with pine straw, and
the other half in Irish potatoes, lazy
bed style, entirely covered with straw,
so they do not need any work. This
will make enough fine onions to do
all the season, and when taken up the
straw can be put on the potato half
of row, as they will need extra mulch?
ing for winter. I can get nice fresh
potatoes from this bo 1 any time dur?
ing the year. The onion ground can
be top-dressed with fertilizer and
planted in spinach, lettuce and rad?
ishes for fall uje, and put In onions
again the fol'oving spring * i^so
plant about five rows of potatoes and
one tf seed onions sic".} by side, as
they mature and come off the ground
at the same time. I then plant the
ground in winter cabbage and col
lards. I plant the seed in bottom of
water furrow, and the sides of furrow
will partly shade the little plants and
they will not die in the hot sun. The
finest heads I ever grew were planted
this way the last day of July.
1 divide one row in three parts and
plant In parsnips, carrots and salsify,
as that Is enough for my family and
they i c main In the ground through
the winter. I also divide another tow
the same way and put in okra, egg
plants and pepper, as they stay bear?
ing till frost. I plant butter beans on
north and west sides of palings to
save stirking.
I plant about five rows of tomatoes,
j four feet apart, and when 1 lay them
by I plant the middles In Crowder
peas and the vines keep the ground
moist and partially shade the toma?
toes, which causes them to ripen up
mor* evenly and will not sun-scald
BO badly. I laid clown some of the
finest vines in August and have bush?
els of tomatoes till after frost. As
fast as 1 use the early vegetables from
a row I plant it in Mexican June corn
or something eis?-, and by having a
succession l am sure to cultivate the
whole garden and not let the weeds
take- it
l don't raise anything for market,
but make a point to raise a variety of
vegetables in abundance for the table
every clay, and plenty for six dozen
hens and a bun<-h of pigs.
I And it takes work and perserver
to have a good garden, but feel sure
nothing affords more real pleasure or
proves more profitable for the time
arid labor bestowel.
