nourish the voting plant let. Before it
can even do this, however, it must by
the process of germination be con-,
verted into sugar, a substance closely j
allied to oil being composed of the
same elements only differently combined.
After tbe oil thus enables the embryo
plant to develope its leaves and
root'ets so that it may gather its food
from the air and soil, the oil has per- j
formed itsdutv to that particular piant. :
Should the seed not germinate then !
decomposition will take place and tiie j
oil will be broken up into carbonic i
acid gas and water, substances that are
abundantly provided for plants by '
nature, ilence it is that nitrogen, j
phosphate acid and potash are the fer- j
tilizing substances of the seed that are j
valuable and these are practically nil.
found in a concentrated form in the ;
meal. Owing, however, to the very
large amount of nitrogen as compared j
with the phosphate acid and potash i
found in cotton seed meal, it is valued ;
principally as an ainmoniated fer- j
lilizer, and as such is one of the cheapest
and best on the market. Nitro- !
genous fertilizers, as you all know, j
are the most expensive fertilizers you ;
have to buy and therefore one of the !
most important problems ror the farmer
to salve i? how to till his soil with [
cheap nitrogen. Recent investigation
by eminent German agricultural chem- j
ists have developed facts bearing on;
this important question that may be of j
untold benelit to Southern farmers if j
they will but apply them in practice, i
Prof. Wagner and other experimenter?
have shown that leguminous plants,
I like cow peas, clover, lucerne, brans,
f etc., unlike other plants as wheat, corn,
I oats, cotton, arc able to take up nitrogen
from the atmosphere. But a few
years ago, the advice was given to
j fertilize peas, clover and other legu- |
minous plants with nitrogen.
Ik That advice was incorrect, it rested i
B upon an insufficient knowledge about j
the nitrogen nutrition of these plants, j
jjp They do require from two to three
times as much nitrogen as cotton, corn i
and oats, yet they do not show under j
normal condition any increase worth !
mentioning, if fertilized with nitrogen.
Therefore, cotton seed meal and other ;
ammoniated fertilizers would be
wasted on n pea crop.
Xow comes the question, which is
certainly a downright practical one,
can the capacitv of the leguminous
plants, to gather nitrogen from the
atmosphere,'be utilized by the farmer ;
to procure nitrogen for oilier crops i
without having to pay for them? This j
question hus happily been answered in j
the affirmative. IVas and other similar j
crops, when liberally fertilized with
phosphate acid and potash may be thus
stimulated to grow luxuriantly and to j
gather large quantities of nitrogen |
from the inexhaustible supply offered i
by nature in the air and store it up in j
the soil in a form available for other i
crops as cotton, corn and oats which J
have not this power of taking it di- j
rectly from the atmosphere.
Thus the cow pea, the clover of the |
South, of the merits of which agricul- i
turists have written until they have j
become weary is, like cotton seed meal, |
not only a valuable food, but also a i
cheap nitrogenous fertilizer. Hence it!
is that Southern farmers have two |
cheap sources of nitrogen, cotton seed ;
meal and tiie cow pea, which are also j
the richest food stuff's in all the land, j
If we would but retain our cottonseed
meal within our ow t borders and not
ship it abroad for others to reap the
benefits of and cultivate more extensively
the cow pea we would soon be
able "to solve the most difficult and im- j
i i fnntili'/ntin)! I
portaut pro mew. ivi uii<.uuvi., |
namely, lion* to get a cheap supply of !
nitrogen.
The time has come for Southern
farmers to utilize every resource at \
their command. They must also learn j
not only to raise other things besides, j
cotton, but also how to produce most
of the cotton required to supply the >
world's demand on a smaller area and
at a much less cost than they are raising
it to-day.
Therefore it behooves the farmer to
study the nature of his soil, to learn
the laws of plant aud animal growth
and nutrition, in a word, learn how
best to employ and husband all the [resources
within his power.
In all departments of human activity j
so tierce is competition, "the struggle j
for existence." becoming that the aid I
of science is needed to point out the I
underlying principles of every indus- !
try that ii may be profitably pursued, j
liapidly is this becoming true of agri- J
culture which, in a scientific light, is
one of the most intricate of all pur-1
suits demanding as it does the aid of {
many departments of human knowledge.
When Southern farmers, more
generally, learn to apply business prin- [
ciples and bring- science to the aid of
their profession, then we may confidently
look forward in this sunny
Southland, naturally endowed with so
many advantages, to a era of prosperity
unparalleled by any other age !
or clime.

they know how to run an Institute
Skipe: inteudem Dunn's address was
listened to with a great deal of intercut
by the tanners and his replies to
the questions asked hiin showed that
he iiad made an exhaustive and scientific

of the reason why cotton

Somebody has uukindly remarked
that the balloon feature of the Institute
was a hoax intended to draw the
crowd. We know such i? n?t the caie.
An honest effort was made and we
have seen the contract signed by Prof.
Steele in which he agreed to be here
and make the ascension. The gentletlemen
who arc on the Executive

trick and when they advertise anything
thef mean what they say. We

Mr. W. K. McCarlev has undertaken
to civilize a gray fox which he has had
in his possession for some time, and
thinking his efforts in this direction
sufficiently successful, he exhibited
Reynard at the Institute in a cage with
a live, handsome young Plymouth
Rock. During the day it was hard to
discover which exhibited more innocence,
fox or chicken, and frequent
references to the text about the lion
and the lamb were heard. But on the
second day the chicken had disappeared.
The suggestive hours of
midnight had probably brought recollections
of hen-roosting expedition* to
the fox and he could not resist the
temptation and the chicken was then
and there made a sacrifice to the cause
of "civilizing the savage."

"We regret to announce the burning
of the residence of Mr. Tkos. McGili
which occurred yesterday ::eur soon.
The fire was discovered too late to save
aught except a trunk containing some

To our great joy, we barn that Mr.
McGill, not only saved his ''trunk of
valuables and important papers," but
the greater part of his household effects.
He and family are sojourning with kis
brother, Mr. Andrew McGill, until he
can rebuild. To lose an old homestead
to which we are endeared is certainly
a great misfortune.
The greater part of the cotton crop
is gathered, and a lamentably short
crop it is. Certainly the prospect for
our farmers is anything but cheering.
"Tillman and Reform" hare failed to
benefit our condition, and the glowing
colors in which our failure was depicted,
aroused hopes, which have
been blaited.
AVe have no intention of casting any
^ 1.?,
rctlcetiou on our uovernor or ins wmcials,
but all the talk of high taxes,
ctc., was nonsense. Our taxes hare
been reasonable for the last fifteen or
sixteen years. This rear has been a
disastrous one for the farmers in this
section, and so it will be until we learn
the necessity of making the farm
self-supporting.
How can a farmer hope to succeed
when he buys corn at a dollar a bushel
and raises cotton for 6 and 7 cents.

Nothing of importance has occurred
here since my last letter. Everything
i8 moving quietly along.
The Winusboro Granite Company
shipped to Charlestou a few days ag?
a platform measuring ten feet six
inches square, six inches thick. It
necessitated the taking off the sides of
a gondola.
Manager A. W. St. Amand visited
Charleston a few days ago to attend
the annual meeting of the company.
Miss Eva Ligon spent Gala Week in
Charleston. 3he was a guest of her
uncle, Mr. Ed. Horlbeck.
Misa Lula Trapp, accompanied by
Miss Jackson, is spending a few days
at the Quarry.
We are pleased to note the wakefulness
of Intendant Wm. R. Rabb, of
Rockton. The shipments of cotton
aud stone and the great amount of
freight received at that place make it
one of importance. With an eye single
to the welfare of the town he has
appointed Mr. James F. Boyd chief ?f
police. Though young in years he is
the right man in the right place. Passenger
and all freight trains are closely
inspected on arrival by the chief and
tramps give Rockton a wide berth.
The Cotton Exchange and the police
department will soon give Rockton a
place in the picture. Ere long we
hope to have our compress, street car#
from Rion City to Rockton, mail boxes
and mail carriers. If vim is all that is
required, Intendant Rabb will have it
a'l in r92.
Everybody is talking now of the
Columbia Fair, and thousands are
going from Rock City?"in their
mind".
Mr. R. L. Blake, agent at Rockton,
has had all he could do this fall. lie
will have bis depot and cotton platform
enlarged to meet the businew of

Messrs. C. L. Smitl., W.F. Rutland |

I Special: The nuptials of Mr. S. B.
Clowuey and Miss Ella Blain were
celebrated in the Presbyterian Cbnrch
at Blackstock on last Wednesday afternoon,
Rev. Jas. Douglass officiating.
A large number of spectators were
present to witness the happy event,
and th* church is said to have been
quite tastefully decorated for the occasion.
After the ceremony was over
and the usnal congratulations were
ended the young and happy couple
took the train for Augusta, where thoy
will remain until Saturday.
The protracted services which commenced
in New Hope Churc.h on
Thursday of last week were clciea
day before yesterday. The pastor,
Rev. Mr. Kirkpatrick, was assisted
throughout the meeting by Rev. W. W.
Orr, evnodical evangelist of the
A. R. P. Church, who did oil of the
preaching. Ehe discourses of this
noted revivalist are said to have been
plain, logical and convincing and elicited
much interest and thought from the
large audiences that attended both day
and night throughout the entire meet- <
ing. Seventeen persons are said to
have united themselves with the
church.
Hiss Macie Stevenson, the young
lady of this coigregaiion who so "nobly
responded to the call of the church for
wmc one to sro out to Mexico and en
gage in mission work, took the train at j
this place on Wednesday for her distanl
field of labor. A large number |
of her friends were present to bid her
farewell.
Drs. Brice and Miller, assisted by
Dr. Allen, of Blackstock, amputated
on Monday last the right arm of Nathan
Wither*, who got both bones broken
in a wrestle with Sol Griffin last
August. From some cause the broken
bones failed to unite and because so
badly diseased sr to necessitate the
j amputation of tae arm two inches
above the e b^ .v. The operation wa3
highly successful and the stub is
healing rapidly.
Those who " attended the Farmers
Institute were highly pleased and
pronounce it a good success. Those
who are qualified to know say that it
surpassed the Chester Fair in the
way of fine stock and agricultural
exhibits. We are proud of the fact
that our enterprising neighbor Mr R.
L. Mobley, succeeded in getting first
and second premiums on his exhibits
of poultry and corn. Wo regret that
Mr. M?bley, on acoount of incon
j renience in taitiuj iucu 'ucic, r,ao
unable to hare a few oi his large
collection of rare and beautiful pot
plants and flowers on exhibition. We
feel assured that csuld he hare gotten
them down their rarity fragrance and
varied colors would have been quite
an attractive addition to the elegant
hall exhibits.
We most heartily agree with Mr.
G. II. McMaster that the Legislature
should pass a dog license law if it
would be tke Means of getting rid of
some of the prowling and worthless
curs that infest the land. We think
that a tax of only one dollar on each
| deg would scarcely be sufficient to
bring about the desired end and believe
it ought t? be at least two: dollars. If
all the dogs in the County and State at
large are as utterly worthless as they
are in this section it would be a bles3
ng to hare everyone of them extermiinated.

raising corn on highly manured l?t?, I j
will now procecd to give my experi-1
ence in raiding corn on uplaud this
rear. The land planted was ten acres,
old pine field, cleared off three years
ago and planted in cotten last year.
The corn planted was a small variety
f yellow corn. Now here is the expense
of raising, kc.:
Cutting off pines and burning
ti ash $ 1 10
Breaking up laud 2 40
Laying off 4? feet wide 50
Scattering ?annre 1 70
Dropping corn and covering... 1 50
Harrowing 40
Siding first time 1 00
Replanting and hoeing 2 00
Throwing out middles 1 GO
Siding second time 80
Two furrows arouud 80
Laying by 40
180 bn?hel? cotton aeed 18 00
5 loads stable manure 5 00
Putting up compost heap 1 00
Total expense,except mule hire $38 20
Corn gatherned off 10 acres, 240 bu.
Fodder 2600 lb9. '
The corn is worth to-dav in
crib $240 00
2600 lbs. fodder 20 80
?
Total worth of crop $260 80
Now the above ia an accurate account
kept during the year. It will j
be seen from the abore statement that <
I made $222.60 clear, or $22.60 an acre. <
I did not charge up anything for i
pulling corn and fodder as I gathered I
enough crab grass hay from corn field
to pay for same. It will also be seen
that I only counted the cotton seed
used at 10c. per bushel, they were not
worth any more for manure as the
seed were spoiled when ginned.
