ONION, 8. C., JANUARY :0 190U.
The dawn of the day of altruism
is not yet. Such a day would be
hailed with pure delight by the
lovers of truth and honesty, and
when this day comes, rest assured
the millennium is not far olY.
They have discovered in Kansas
an oil that will not burn. That
reminds us of sonic gas that we
have bought.?The State.
This avo think [is characteristic
and would most aptly apply to
many communications sent to The
State by its correspondents and
paid for by The State at space rates.
Senator Tillman does not seem to
have any very great hopes that the
present Legislature will accede to
his plans in passing a new dispensary
law; but says that the legislators
who will he elected this summer,
will repeal the Briee act next
January and enact a now dispensary
* law; thus of his own motive he
makes the dispensary question a
political issue in the coming campaign.
In plain English, he means
that the people should elect those
who favor the disno.nsarv *.md leave
. >>ew their anti-dispensary cud.
The introduction of a bill in the
state Legislature, to restrict or eontine
the publication of the general
election notices to one paper in each
county is a ease of narrow mindncss,
a 4'straining at a gnat and
swallowing a camel." If the election
commissioners should decide to
give the publication to all of the
papers published in the county, at
the price of publication in one, this
would divide the amount into so
small a sum as to he mere nominal.
The press of the State does a great
deal of gratuitous printing of notices
for the State aiul County. The law
which provides for the payment of
these election notices confines the
charges to a word basis, therefore
there can be no exorbitant charges
made by any paper. These election
notices come only once in two years
and are not a very large sum at
most. No hoard of election commissioners
should have the burden
thrust upon them, of making a
choice I Kit wee 11 newspapers in the
county in which these notices are to '
he printed. We hope the .legislature
will not lie so parsimonious,
but will economize in greater matters
of State.
CARE FOR LIVING.
"\Ve admire the spirit that makes i '
the bosom heave and swell and the
heart palpitate with patriotic fervor I j
?being the father to the desire to ' i
perpetuate the memory of our great (
i?i - -ii
aiui goou men, nerocs of a sacred ! ^
cause and public benefactors by I y
the erection of a monument, statue 1 \
or bust, but we feel that there J t
should be an equal or greater desire ,*
and effort made to contribute to J
the wants of the living, those who I (
shared the hardships of war and t
survived with broken health and ' e
shattered fortunes and now in their J e
declining years are not able to live J c
in comfort. A home for the old, _
indigent and feeble Confederate ' h
Soldiers, where they can be eared o
for in comfort, with light and
pleasant employment to keep the ll
time from hanging too heavy 011 y
their hands; a hospital in this city
to wbicU the glwfc aud uufottuuate g?
victims of accidents can l>e tak<
for medical treatment. All this
the human side of life for \vhi<
our people should strive.
BONDS FOR ROAD BUILDING.
The grand jury in their preset
rnent at the January term of coi
recommend that the members
the legislature have an act pass
authorizing the voting upon t
question of issuing bonds to t
amount of one hundred thousai
dollars to lx- used in grail i
and macadamizing the pub
roads of the county, the question
be voted on at the regular prima
election to be held this year. J
ready the l>oard of county comm
sioncrs have made their estimate
the county expenses for this list
year, among which is 810,(X)0
public highways. This amount

will to this extent increase the fu

grand jury will be in addition
the amount asked for by the coun
commissioners. Suppose the mei

jury as a substitute for the amou

estimate of county expenses
the county commissioners ai
pass the act authorizing the vi
upon the question of issui

the vote of the county would bo

vote of the people should be again

the county would he without fun

THE SOWING OF SPRING OATS.
Some Common Errors into Which Farm
ers Fall-Poultry PointersBalanced
Rations for Cows.
[Charles Petty, in I'rohressive Parmer.
A wise rotation, a gradual deepening
of the soil, and sowing small
jrain is the foundation of successful
farming. The best time to sow
>ats is < >ctober 15 to December 1,
Init it can be done until March.
There are no oats that are specially
iviliter or spring oats. Some varieics
are more easily killed by cold
ban others. All, even the hardiest,
ire often killed when sown broadast
or put in with a wheat drill.
Hie tcnderest will stand the hard st
winters if put in with a drill in
he open furrows. These arc genrul
principles. Now, there is not
nough small grain sown in all the
otton counties to inaugurate a dcirahlc
rotative system. Since the
niddle of December the ploughs
lave l>een standing still on account
f rain. l>et every farmer sow all
is spare land in oats. He has mill
March in to do this work. The
xiner it is done the better, proided
the ground is dry enough to
reak and harrow. If you wish a

cm-grown seed. The Brest, or
rjj ninety-day, oats are the earliest and
well suited for bottom land, for
they will come off the first week of
June, in time for acorn crop. The
Georgia Gra/.ing oats and other
similar varieties make much straw,
1 " but the grain is light. The advanirt
tage of planting the early varieties
of is that they will ripen June 5 to 15,
ed giving time enough to sow cowpcas.
Il0 Land that, with the aid of 200 to
. 350 pounds of fertilizer to the acre,
10 will make 1,000 pounds of seed
1UI cotton, will make 25 to 30 bushels
ng of oats and a ton and a half of pealie
vine hay. The cost of the two
crops will be about half the cost of
a cotton crop.
,r^* Do not use amnioniated fertilizers
G- with oats, but if nitrogen is wantis
ing apply 50 to GO pounds of nitrate
0f of soda from March 20 to April 15,
j and run a smoothing harrow over
. the land, so as to cultivate the oats
and level the ridges. Mix GOO
of pounds of 11 per cent acid and 100
he pounds of Kainit and apply 150 to
eh 300 pounds to the acre with the
I oats. It is better to put 500 pounds,
for the peas will need all that is not
required by the oats.

1 Mr. II. II. Kawl, Secretary,
>tc s. C. Live Stock Association,
ng Dear Sir:
I thank you for the information
^ concerning the proposed annual
! meeting of the South Carolina Live
111 Stock Association, to be held in the
to Y. M. C. A. Building, Columbia,
by S. C., on February 8th and Oth,
he 100G.
It will be to the advantage of
6 every farmer and land owner in
cn South Carolina to attend the nieetds
ing. Those unable to attend should
an join the Association and give the
splendid work you are doing their
, moral influence as well as their tix
naneial assistance.
South Carolina is an excellent
ey stock raising section. "More live
? > wt/w'L" nrtrl l?iU/>r eln/iV ct.u.b"
i should bo the motto of evory farmer
whether ha Wa truck, fruit ov ?otinterested
in this important indus)d
try.
le I expect to see the time when
lie train loads of live stock will he
shipped out of every county of
n~ South Carolina. It can be done,
s* and will be done, if those directly (
to interested will only give the subject
,y merited attention. ,
K. I recall some months ago seeing ,
Jive stock shipped into South Caro- |
W linn. This is entirely wrong; it is i
a false economy. South Carolina can (
>r produce all the meat necessary for ]
,n home consumption and have several j
)r million dollars worth for shipment
to profitable markets beyond the ,
limits of the State. j
? f see your programme includes >
^s subjects pertaining to the raising of g
>r horses and mules, dairy and beef ^
cattle, hogs, sheep and goats, poul- t
try, etc. I
10 'We hope you will have a splendid
K meeting* a meeting that will create q
iv increased interest in the live stock c
d industry, and that every citizen of
0 South Carolina will either directly t
or indirectly be peculiarly benefitted (
thereby. Yours truly,
