Mr. Bronson Hollingsworth bas a "fattening" hog that weighs over 700 pounds. Small grain is looking lovely, buc very little plowing has been done in this region. Miss Mary Lillie Fisher gave a delightful party to her little friends last Saturday afternoon. Mr.

Dean, tbt depot agent at Vaucluse, was robbed of $700 on Sunday night, the 21st. ult. Mrs. Nancy Hendrix, of Trenton, a few days with her daughter, Mrs. Lochlier, last week.

Ou legislators will be home in a few days and will give an accouuc of their stewardship, we hope. Rev. Mr. Leitch did not begin bis meetings at Graniteville last week as announced, but postponed to this week. W.

P. Wideman, of Troy, bas joined the army of lecturers. His lecture, "flit the Grit," ia favorably commented upon. Married by Rev. J.

P. Mealing at residence of bride's father, February ltth 1897, Mr. Tandy Culbreath to Miss Agnes Morgan. Mr. J.

Foster Oheatham and family have removed from their country residence to town, occupying the Marsh home in west Edgefield. Senator Tillman wants the inscription, "Author of the Dispensary placed on his tombstone. He is, however, in no special hurry. Dr. Rainsford, the New York preacher who in bis pulpit denounced the extravavance of the Bradly-Martin ball, is sojourning at Aiken.

Magistrates will save money by ordering their blanks at the ADVEBTTSER office. Find out exactly what you want and bring us your order. The bnion County Era says: "Th? best bill passed by the present legislature was Mr. Rainsford's anti-trust law. The Henderaonville and Brevard N.

C. railroad, wbicn bas been in operation, only about two years has been placed in the hands of W. E. Sbuford, of Asheville, as receiver. Sheriff Ouzts and family have moved into the lower rooms of the jail.

Sheriff finds the walk from his residence to the office too much for bim. Hie fine residence in our suburbs is for rent. Mr. H. E.

Crim, our former townsman and who will return to Edgefield in the early spring, has been elected president of the Great Southern Medicine Company, with headquarters at Edgefield, S. and Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Some of our farmers, instead of bedding their sweet potatoes and setting out the expect this year to cut up the potatoes and drop the pieces in TOTS. This is the way they do way down in Georgia, where the whangdoodles live. School teachers in China run great risks.

A man in Yungchou was found guilty of murder and the judges, after dooming him to death, also decreed the death penalty for his teacher, saying that he should have taught bis pupil to respect human life. We understand that Dr. F. W. P.

Butler will soon begin to enlarge and beautify the residence on Griffin hill and will occupy it in the fall. We are glad of this, for it will bring this popular young doctor and his charming wife nearer to their village friends. Atacaucu8 of reformers in Columbia, last week, Representative of our own State Treasurer W. H. Timmerman, is reported to have said that "the promised reduction of taxes by thereform party had not been made, and something must be done." We agree with Mr.

Timmerman and suggest that another reform party be started to reform us reformers. Last Friday morning there was a heavy fog, a big frost, and plenty of ice in this region-a phenomenon, or phenomema, never seen or beard of before, and must indicate something, prognosticate something. Won't some old farmer tell us what it means, whether a big crop year, or good fruit year, or what? Of course, we don't expect it to be the truth, for we farmers are the biggest liars in the world. It is rumored with reference to our March term of court that some legal complications have arisen, in the matter of the cutting off of Greenwood county, that will prevent Edgefield's having any court this month. These complications exist in the fact that some of the jurors drawn to ser ye at Edgefieid live in the territory cut off ia -enwood county, and the act creating Greenwood county going into effect immediately upon its passage makes these jurors foreign citizens, to speak, not qualified to pass upon the personal or property rights of our citizens.

We've been cut up "right smart," but we've got enough population yet left for juries. Sudie Aycock is now in 1 more selecting- her spring stoc millinery goods, and will retur Edgefleld in about ten days. Messrs. Palmeri and Gason, ol gusta, who have been boarding Miss Lizzie Dobey for eight or days manufactoring and selling i jewelry, returned to Augusta morning. Speaking of farmers as big you'll meet some of 'em who will you that the best crop of oats ever made was sown on the 7t April and the best corn thev harvested was planted on the 9tl July, and yet they take care neve repeat the experiment of such planting.

The iDaugural ball, which take place iu Washinton morrow in spite of Presid McKinley's alleged protest, in lavishness of decorations a abundance of dainties aim equal the famed ball of the Br ley-Martins.

Whit ney of New York, was so wei pleased with Aiken that he made two purchases of real estate while here recently.

He bought frone Miss C. Eua tis the Joye house, including furniture, in the southern part of the city, paying $3,000 foi it. He also bought from Mre Anna D. Scott the McCracken house for $3,500. These two pieces of real estate are separated only by a narrow street.

Together these lots make a splendid site for a Winter home, and Aiken is glad to welcome Mr. Whitney as a Times. A surprise to most people in town was the announcement Sunday night of the marriage of Prof. B. S.

Cogburn to Miss Annie Miller. They had been down to Charleston seeing what there was to be seen of the war vessels and of the city as well, they decided to take upon themselves the so.emu vows of matrimony. So they returned Snnday night bringing with them their certificate of marriage. Prof. Cogburn is a teacher in the Classical Institute originally from Edgefield County.

He is tall and of stately bearing. His deportment while in our midst has been such as to win tho confidence and respect of the people. Hr is a graduate of the Citadel Academy and is a most excellent voung man. Miss Miller is a pretty young lady and is a daughter of Capt. A.

P. Miller. She is a recent student of Winthrop College and quite popular. They will henceforth journey down life uneven roadway hand in hand aud share each other's joys and soi rows alike. May their path be strewn for a very jong time with eweet Jim Miner Speaks his Mind Some More.

MR. EDITOR: I was in Greenwood county the other day and in my journeyings I had to leave the big road-the reason why was that the candidates were so numerous that the highways and byways were filled with 'em and I had to take the woods. I make it a rule to go off somewhere else when a candidate strikes me as I have no confidence in the breed of 'em. They will make you believe they are wise enough to turn mud into sugar, but after the election they take the sugar and leave us stuck in the same old mud as usual. When I am at a campaign meeting and a candidate gets up and begins to tell what "he's er gwine to do" I get up too and go off in the woods and seratch his name off my ticket.

The man who talks a great deal is obliged to lie now and then, for there ain't truth enough in this world to keep a mau always at it. Speaking of Greenwood county, .1 hope our folks will stay out of that county until after their election; the truth is Greenwood is "pizen bigity" aboul her new condition. I hope she will give McCormick a part of her territory and call it North County to sorter even up things. Individually I have been looking to the wool hat boys a long time for something on my own account, but nothing is in sight yet. I have but one gallus and don't expect to get the other one unless my friend S.

P. Mathis gets to be a Trial Justice and will give me one to vote for him. I am afraid there will be 'ell in the camps before long. Yours til deth, JIM MINER. P.

"petrified man" you are to have in the show at Edgefield on next Monday may be a good thing-but show me a petrified candidate; and then take my money purse, take all my goods and chattels, all my worldly possessions and let me go hence. J. M. Semphronicus Writes From Saluda County. In these fast days, it is all one can do to keep up with the furious career of eveuts, indeed it would tax the energies of a trained newspaper man to keep abreast of the times.

Everything seems to be in a whirl-affairs States, national, and local are topsyturvey. McKinley is fixing up a cabinet of men of his stripe-safe, cool, emotionless, without one spark of enthusiapm to keep affairs from stagnating. Our own legislature has been wasting money talking about everything from.high" I down to cigarettes, wi outcome-raccomplisb I do think the anti-si the most roi ly because if a man to smoke, it's And too we know a cigarettes are made by the smokers themselves by using smoking tobacco and tissue paper. The best way to break up this habit is by a vigorous application of the remedy that beats Dispensary or anything as a moral reformer. Mr.

Kibler of Newberry has also come in for his share of the fun. Indeed the papers have been holding a regular love feast at his expense. Corporation lawyers (on a small scale) who have squirmed their way into our council halls, have been hooting over his carcass at a lively rate and country editors have sent up their howls from hill top, glen, and dale. All the spirits and goblins of "wood and fell" are invoked upon his dear old He has been held up as one eager for honors and panting for renown. As a matter of fact a more plain, prosaic man would be hard to find.

The writer pleasantly remembers him asan old preceptor in the days agone. And too W3 fail to st-e where the criminality of his labor bill lay. The railroads work under the supervision of commissioners; are the factory managers more sinless than they? We see all the more reason for protecting factory labor than rail road labor; because rail roads generally employ only able bodied men, while factories employ oftentimes helpless children. But the management of the labor commission might fall into the hands of some contemptible politician and do more harm than good. We were glad to see a tendency to cut down salaries and a disposition to vote less blindly on money appropriated for higher education.

That we are topheavy on the educational question, every thinking man admits. And if these appropriations for educating a few hundred boys and girls, while thousands more are growing up in ignorance, are not cut down, the people will rise up and send the whole shooting match on a pleasure trip up salt creek. Popular upheavals never do things by halves. And won't "Squandering State Money on rich men's sons and daughters" be a fruitful topic for the demagogue? By-the-way Mack Simkins in being heard from. We wanted to see Mack elected in '94; for he is a jimdandy.

Bill Thurmond is also making his mark. There are few levelerheads or cooler brains than his. Well, Saluda affairs have to a certain extent subsided. Scratcl Whittle has grown a full bean which adel? much to charming presence. Scratsh, lifo Sancho's 'Ghost "wont down'." Away over in Newberry, Editoi Anil's host of scriblers have se up a wail for a big free dinner given by the editor.

The legislature ought to appropriate enough to fill them once and stop their hungry clamorous mouths for this would certainly be of more benefit tc the reading public of Newberry county and the Stat? press generally than nine tfnths of the money that is appropriated. SEMPHRONIGUS. Lime as a Manure. On a nine-acre field that was so poor that corn did not pay for harvesting, my father sowed 1,000 lbs of guano with oats and clover seed. A fair crop of oats was secured and a moderate stand of clover.

The next year when the clover was fully in head, half a dozen young stock were turned in and the following spring clover was plowed under with 100 bu. of lime, planted corn and had a nice crop stalks not very heavy but well eared. The next year oats and clover were sown, giving a fine crop of oats and a good staud of clover. The stock was turned on the same as before, and the clover was plowed undei with 125 bu. of lime and covered again.

This time we had a heavy crop of both stalks and corn. Finding that we had struck a good thing, we followed it up till that field, though naturally pooror than the rest of the farm, produced equal to the best land. We adopted the plan of planting two fields of corn, two of oats, audone of wheat. As we were not allowed to sell any hay, straw or fodder, we kept sheep, COWA and young stock to consume it, which made us a laige quantity of manure that spread on the one field for corn and on the field for wheat. Ve raised plenty of hogs and poultry and though prices were low we made money, and when I Mt home the farm produced fuly three times as much as when ve took possession, and I do iot think that $300 had been laid cut for fertilizers except for lime.

Evidently this soil needed and so do many other soils to-dry. The matter can easily be tesledhy Iv ci toll Cj ol'ups. we known this to be done, and the result was that the lime helped to eet free the stores of other plant food in the soil until the supply was BO reduced that inly poor crops could be got, even by libera, applications of lime. Plowing under policy, adds only nitrogen? and vegetable matter (humus) to the soil potaah and phosphoric acid are also needed. This matter of keeping up soil fertility.ar the least expese is a complex varying with different circumstances, requiring judgmeit for best H.
