He may have thought that Mr. in Blackburn was taking them; but b? my recollection is that Mr. Black- pi burn was in the front office with me p< most of the time." vi The Greenville Piedmont asks a "what sort of a fellow is that man Dixox, any way, that he should think a man was taking down a stenographic report of a meeting of ti very small committee, a member of which he was. when as a matter of tb fact the man was out of the office ct the most of the time. Is he a blind tb man? Is he a man that can't tell p] when a stenographer is at work? la Why did he make such a ludicrous r? mistake?" pi If we have that man Dixon sized tb up right, he is a light weight poli- p] tician, who aspires to be lieutenant governor of the State, or it was so n reported, who was given too big a b< job for a man of his calibre when he ei was sent to the General Assemby ci from somewhere in South Carolina, tb He can see all right, ordinarily, but tl is somewhat mooneyed when it comes to seeing things that might tl hurt his political patrons saints, and it there are others.?Columbia Re- 6 porter. rr Barber Must Serve Sentence. ^ si Columbia, Feb. 23.?Charles H. it Barber, the Spartanburg white man, cv must serve a two-year sentence in c< the penitentiary for the Supreme ol court this afternoon affir led the ta sentence of the Spartanburg county w court of about a year ago.

S8T1NG SKKl) CORN BESORE PLANTING. \ Seed corn which has been stored irough the winter under ordinary Additions in South Carolina is often lought to need no testing before lanting. But the high price of ,nd and the additional expense of planting the field domand that the rogreBsive farmer know more about le quality of seed that he is to lant. The proper time to make the gerlinating test is about three weeks sfore planting so that if any bad lib are found in the lot and distrded the ears which are to take jeir place may also be tested before le seeds are placed in the soil. A convenient sized testing box for le average farmer is one that is 24 iches by 24 inches and about 4 to inches deep. This box can be lade from six inch plank or a soap r starch box sawed down to the dered depth can be used. This box lould have a layer of at least two iches of wet sawdust packed tightly j ver the bottom. It will be found mvenient to wet the sawdust in an p Id sack by letting (the sack conlining the sawdust) soak in warm f ater for 20 to 30 minutes so that le sawdust may have an equal mois- Y' ire content throughout. n Having completed the box, take a piece of white cloth, which should s a little larger than the box, and ai lark off one hundred squares 2x2 n, iches. Number each of these con- , icutively from 1 to 100, then dip US cloth into a bucket of water and ? retch it evenly over the sawdust. ' When the tester is complete take le ears of corn to be tested and kmber each ear. Then take six Ifcwfrom each oar, two from, op- \ oflWtaides of the butt, two from > pifesite sides of the middle and vo from opposite sides of the tip. se tbat no two kernels are taken om the same row, and if the butt id tip kernels are taken one ipch om the end of this ear this will be 1 average sample. Having taken le kernels from the ear place them i the square which is pumbered to irrespond to the number of the ear. _ How no two of them to touch, place ~~ lem with the heart side up, and all 1 the tips pointing in the same diction.' When grains from all the irs have been placed in the squares hich correspond to the number of le ear from which they were taken lace another piece of wet cloth on ip of them and cover this with 2 i :{inches of wet sawdust. Then lace the box in some place where will remain warm. At the end four days dampen the sawdust piin by sprinkling some warm war over it. At the end of a week le tester should lie examined by ir. fully removing the sawdust and p cloth. The numbers of all [Uares which do not show six big ?althy sprouts should be ascerined and the ears which have the n responding numbers should not j ? iilantArl f Vf !< >.? ?> !> nil Asst.
