America, Th * Paradise of Criminals.
Crime is not due wholly to Ignor?
ance. Sice 1889 itelllgence has be?

Cnlted States, but according to Su?
perintendent Masten, of the New York
state reformatory, homlcidt in this
country have increased 150 per eent.
notwithstanding the multiplied facili?
ties of knowledge.
Education may operate to prevent
rrlme within certain limits. Rut so
long as penalties are not enforced and
criminals not convicted as statutes
are virtually dead letters, so long will
crime continue to propagate Itself.
The same authority from whom we
have Just quoted also throws light up?
on the court records, showing that
for various reasons less than 10 per
cent, of the nu n wh | rnmlt mur?
der In this country are punished,
whereas In Oermany. for example, the
?JgJVteejggi will aggregate 95 per
cent.
Barring Russia alone, he says that
homicides In the Cnlted States will
outnumber those of any ten civilized
nations combined.
In the opinion Superintendent
Masten there are fully 350.000 per?
sons In the Cnlted States who choose
and pursue criminal careers, but who
are not touched by the law.

T i ll I: MOST VALUBALE CROP OF
THE sot Til.
This i* What the Cowpea Would Be
If We Gave It a Chance?The Value
of a Crop of Peas, the Kind to
Plant, and When ami How?Plant
Every Available Aero.
As a small hoy upon the sugar
plantations of Louisiana my earliest
recollection is that every third year
the land w as sow n to c ow peas, and
the value of this process for building
Up land was so thoroughly understood
that 1 took it for granted that this
was the custom wherever peas would
grow. For a long while after I learn?
ed differently it was a source of
wonder that every one did not sow
peas as regularly as those planters.
1 still can not well understand why
it should be necessary to argue to any
farmer in the South the advantage
of a good cover of peas.
The great need of the soils of the
South is vegetable matter or Humus.
This Is necessary, not only as a
source of plant food, but for its me?
chanical effect upon the soil and be?
cause it increases the ability of that
soil to hold and to supply moisture
to plants. This vegetable matter, it
is true, can be supplied by turning
under any plant, but most plants,
when so treated, add no food to the
soil,-as they have obtained the nitro?
gen, phosphoric acid and potash
they contain from the soil itself, and
hence only return what they have
taken away. The cowpea and other
members of the legume family, poe?
tess the power of gathering their
nitrogen from the atmosphere. So
when they are grown upon land and
then turned under they actually add
nitrogen to the soil.
Free Nitrogen for the Cotton crop.
Cotton, yielding a bale per acre,
when ( are is taken to return the
stalks and leaves t<> the soil, re?
moves therefrom about -n pounds
of nitrogen In the lint and seed. This
is worth over $7. If we allow the
leaves to dry up and blow away and
then l urn our cotton stalks, as is too
Often done, we remove an additional
66 pounds of nitrogen, worth over
11 o.OO.
If we turn under the stalks and
leaves from this crop and then plant
and grow upon the land a crop of
peas, they will make us a yield of
at least a ton and a half of vines.
Those \ines when turned under, or
when fed to cattle and the resultant
manure added to the soil will add
thereto something like 60 pounds of
nitrogen-?more than replacing what
was removed by the cotton. Thi
t'<o. is a decided gain as it all cane
from the air.
In addition t.? the nitrogen. thes.
poas contain In their runts an<
stems some "jn pounds of phosphorh
acid and inn pounds of potash. li
is true that these latter came fron
the soil, but they were largely ob
tahed from Iho deeper layers no
often foraged by moat plants. Sine.

Why Peavines Should Not Be Plowed
Inder.
But turning under pea vines is
very much like eating only half of
the loaf, it will pay to grow pea
vines ;is a fertilizer alone, but there
is another way in which we can use
them anil very much Increase our
profits. We all know the value of
the peavlne as a feed, hut many of
US do not realize fully that we can
feed these vines and by carefully
saving and returning the resultant
manure to the soil upon which the
peas were grown practically git full
benefit of the plant food they con?
tained. While only SO per cent, of
j this plant food re-appears in the ma?
nure, yet it is in so much better
form for the use of the plants, that
what we do get is easily worth what
the original quantity was worth.
When cottonseed meal is worth
$M0 a ton, the nutrients in a ton of
pea hay are worth $10. Then the
ton and a half that the land in ques?
tion will yield will easily he worth
$15. Since we are first going to
feed this hay and then save the re?
sultant manure, we will then realize
[ the following from it:
ll 1-2 tons of hay, worth.$15.00
Manure from this hay con?
tains plant food worth .... 14.10
Total value derived from one
acre of peas.$29.10
Other Benefits of the Pea Crop.
But all the benefits of the pea
have not yet been enumerated. Some
have not entered into the above ac?
count, because it is not possible to
figure them in dollars and cents.
The very shading of the ground by
the peas during their growth is of
value. We know that all fertile
soils contain immense numbers of
living things, known as bacteria.
Some of these bacteria are harmful,
but the majority are working for
man's benefit whenever conditions
are favorable. Among the number
of beneficial bacteria found in soils
is one that has the power, under cer?
tain conditions, of fixing nitrogen
from the air in the soil. This work?
er is known as the nitric bacteria.
The conditions under whic h fixing of
nitrogen takes place? through this
medium most readily are a temper?
ature of from GO to 100 degrees, the
presence4 of a moderate amount ol
moisture, the free access of air, and
semi-darkness. There must also he
present in the soil a moderate
amount of lime.
When our soil is covered by a
growth of peavlnes these conditions
largely prevail. The leaves and
vines keep the surface from becom?
ing too dry, they keep it shaded and
prevent its being packed by rains,
thus allowing a free access of air
and as a consequence the soil is able
J to Mx a large amount of nitrogen.
While there is no way of accurately
liguring the value of nitrogen so
J added to our soil, yet there is no
? doubt it Is much greater than most
1 of us realize. ?
I Tilings to Consider When Planting
Pi?an.
.lust how and when it is best t<>
plant peas, varies with so many con?
ditions that one hesitates to lay down
any fixed rule. In the sugar district
of Louisiana, the practice is to plant
the torn in '.-loot lows, ami when
this crop is about waist high t<> sow
peas .it the rate of 1 1-2 to 2 bushels
per acre. In othi r sections it i<
customary to plant ever3 other row
mhI ? ?metimos every third row- in
peas, Some plant a hill of peas be?
tween each hill of corn, while others
plan! their corn in wide rows (about
i feel > a ml di ill pens on . it h. r side
of tie- corn. With i.r land, some
"i the i latter methods nre probably
best, ;is th< n "He is il l- t,, S'i\ c the
i" is one op two workings thatt will
lid I hem mil. rlully.
Since peas gather the nitrogen they
need from the air, it Is, of course
seldom necessary to use any of thin
substance as a fertiliser for them.
Rut it the soil Is very pom- it will
pay to supply them with a small
. mount of nitrogen in order to give
them a good start. Two hundred i
pounds of cottonseed meal applied
at the time of planting frequently
makes quite a dlffa rence in tin yield.
Peas are, however, great potash and
phosphate feeders, and it always pays
to supply the>e substances in an
abundance. The planting of peas in
corn is only one of the many ways
in which this er? p should he used.
There is no latter plant to follow
lnt< r grain with, and none that so
well prepares the ground for Mich.
Prepare the Land Well.
It is a mistake not to give the
soil good preparation for peas. if
the ground is broken deeply and
well pulverised before sowing them,
very little preparation will be neces?
sary to succeed them with winter
g.vin. When sown upon grain
stubble they can be sown either
I roadcast or in drill and cultivated.
W ith po(?r land the latter method is
preferable. it requires more seed
when sown broadcast, hut this is
offset by the saving of cultivation.
LTse plenty of seed. Two bushels per
acre when sown broadcast is not an
excessive quantity and even when
sown in drills a bushel to the acre
is none too much.
(>f varieties there are probably as
many of peas as of any other known
crop. They differ in a wide degree
both in appearance, in size, in color,
and in method of growth. Some yield
an abundance of fruit with litth
Vine, while others have just the re?
verse propensity, in the color and
size of the fruit and of the pod they
also 'nave a wide range of variation.
But they all possess the valuable
trait Of gathering nitrogen from
the air.
Peas are subject to very few dis?
eases and are attacked by few Insect
enemies. There is one disease that
many varieties have in common with
cotton, however. That is wilt, or
root rot. The variety known as
"Iron" resists this disease and hence
.should always he planted on land
subject t>> this trouble.
Peas Every Third Year on all Lands.
I The pea should be the most abund?
ant plant upon every farm in the
South. The intelligent and econom?
ical farmer will so manage his land
that it will produce at least one crop
of peas every three pears. Whether
these peas are turned under or are
saved and fed, they cannot fail to
pay. No man has done his full duty
to his farm until he has seen to it
that peas are growing upon every
foot that it is possible for them
to grow upon. Plant peas early in
the morning, at noon, in the evening.
Plant them early in the season and
later, plant peas as long as there is a
chance for them to make anything,
and then, when next spring comes
and your neighbor is paying 20 cents
a pound for nitrogen and starving
his plants for it, show him your crop
and with pencil and paper figure how
many dollars the peas have saved
you. Then when harvest time comes
count those dollars. One last word,
plant peas, plant peas, plant peas!

BASE BALL DOPE.
Owing to the fact that the Wedge
field team will not have to leave the
City until 9^30 o'clock, the manage?
ment of the Sumter Collegians has
decided to have the game tomorrow
called at 5:30, which will allow ample
time for the playing of the entire nine
innings, and will give the merchants
and their employees an oportunity to
sei- fully seven innings of the game.
The Wedgetield team is going to
be a rather tough proposition for the
Sumter boys to deal with. Strange,
the Pig Btdewheeler will be on the
tiring line with an assortment of curv es
that have won him a big reputa?
tion. He will he supported by a
strong team, composed of the best
players of the neighborhood section,
and including several college men of
good reputation as ball players.
The probable line-tip of the locals
will be: Duffle, 1st. base; Phelps,
2nd. base; Walter Jones, shortstop;
Monaghan, 3rd. base; Dick, right
field; Haynsworth, tenter held; Willie
Jones, left Held; Marshall, catcher;
Levl oi- Chandler, pitcher
.vir. Jim Calk, a former Newherry
College crack player, vv ill probably
officiate as Cmpire. Mr. Calk will
keep the game going, and his work
as arbiter will lend ginger to the play.

the summer months, this is their op?
portunity to show their desire. The
locals have been organised with very
little financial backing, and they arc

THE CASE OF GUERRE.
One of the Queerest Stories of Don*
blcs in History*
l\ rhapa the most remarkable case
of doubles in all history is that of
Martin Guerre, a Frenchman, who
was horn near Bayonne in the first
half of the sixteenth century. Mar?
tin Guerre was the son of a weil to
to farmer and brickmaker, and, as
was the custom of the country at
the time, he married at the age of 11
I Bertande de Rois, who had reached
j the age oi lo. For eight years they
j lived together.
Unfortunately Martin stole a bush
' el of c ?rn from his father. Fright?
ened by the heniousness of his
? rime, he deserted his wife and fled
to Spain. There he entered the ser?
vice of Emperor Charles V, and af?
ter several years of campaigning,
seems to have forgotten his wife,
Bertrande and his baby boy, Sancho.
At any rate, he ceased to write home
and his family lost all trace of him.
His absem e stretched on to eight
years.
Then one evening a stranger ar?
rived at the inn of the village where
the deserted wife was still living. He
at once tojd his host that he was
Martin Guerre and recounted the
adventures and hardships that had
kept him from home so long. The
rumor of Martin Guerre's return soon
spread, and his four sisters has?
tened to the hostelry to welcome him
home. They found him much changed.
He' had gerne eight years before,
scarcely more than a boy. Now he.
was a mature man, bronzed and
bearded. Nevertheless, they welcom?
ed him. embraced him and carried the
news to his wife, Bertrande hastened
to him at once. When she saw him
first she started back with misgiv?
ing but he addressed her tenderiy,
repeated word for word their part?
ing conversation and mentioned de?
tails that only a husband could have
known. He even spoke of the cbv. ?i
ing he had left behind and Where it
could be found. Bertrande was con?
vinced. She begged forgiveness for
her doubt* and threw herself into his
arms. An uncle arrived. He, too,
hesitated, but the newcomer detailed
to him all the minutae of their busi?
ness transactions eight years before,
and he also was convinced.
The upshot of the matter was that
this newly arrived Mart'n Gurre re?
turned home with his woe ail lived
happily and without suspicion with
her for four years. During this time
they had two children, and Martin's
father at his death bequeathed aim
a farm.
However, a soldier passmg through
the village declared that he had seen
Martin at the seige of St. Quentin,
that he had lost a leg there, but that
he was still alive, and the soldier left
a written deposition to that effect.
The rumor spread that the man liv?
ing as Martin Guerre was an im?
postor.
Bertrande at this fieled a criminal
information against the man to whom
for four years he had granted the
rights of a husband. He was de?
scribed in the accusation as Arnault
de Tilh and was committed to prison.
The prisoner said that the uncle had
influenced his wife and that the whole
charge was a conspiracy to deprive
him of his fortune of 8,000 livres. He
submitted to a ~?arehing interroga?
tory, alter the French fashion, and
answered all questions satisfactorily.
He told e>f his campaign and re?
vealed the most intimate details of
the family history. He relied for his
defense, too. on his four sisters who
still called him brother, on his four
years' life with Bertrande with her
consent, anei pressed her in the pres?
ence of the judges te> swear that he
was not her real husband, declaring
that If she se> swore he was ready
to forfeit his head. Bertrande re?
fused te> take this oath. She was
confused by his confident manner.
In the> trial ISO witnesses were ex?
amined, of this number 40 deposed
that the man was the real Martin
Guerre, 50 deposed that he was Ar?
nault tie Tilh and <J0 declined to pro
nounce any opinion, owing to the re
semblance. In spite of the conflict?
ing evidence, the Judge pronounced
him guilty. He at once appealed to
the parliament of Toulouse.
< >n this appeal thirty witnesses
were re-examined. Ten deposed that
he was Martin Gu< rre. eight that he
was an imposter and the remainder
confessed that they were too bewil?
dered to have any opinion. The judges
were solely perplexed and leaned to
I the side of the prisoner.
j I'.y a curious coincidence just at
I this junctui s the real Martin Guerre
! made hi> ippearance on the scene.
He sltowed the same marks e?n his
face as those borne by the prisoner.
The men were confronted with each
1 othei in court. Even the four sis?
ters who till now had clung to their
Ix lief in the prisoner confessed their
, mistake. The prisoner lost his nerve,
confessed his crime and begged for*
I glveness. He w as condemned to death
and executed. The real Martin was
j restored to bis rights.
