We regret to see her in another County,

Miss Leila Browne is again at work in

her patrons have acted wisely in securing
her services. She is earnest and ener?
getic in her work, and the results are
thorough.
A Thanksgiving exercise would be
very profitable to the children. Tbey
ought to know what is meant by Thanks
giving day. A special exercise on that
subject would be a good way to teach
them about it.
May we not confidently expect the
work of the present session to be an im?
provement on past work ? No teacher
should be satisfied to go through this
year without some improvement over
last year's work.
We hope that the Trustees will close
tbe schools as soon as the money on band
gives out. Do not run the schools on a
credit. The indications now are that we
will be unable to borrow money next
spring. This will make a short terra in
some Districts, bat in the future the cash
will be on hand to pay teachers.
It would be a good idea to devote the
last afternoon session before Christmas to
a Cbri?tmas exercise, in which the origin
of Christmas should be explained to the
children, with the reasons why we ob?
serve it as a holliday, and how it should
be celebrated. The children Bhould know
these things.
The following is the average attend?
ance of pupils in the schools of this
County during the public term of tbe
past year by Districts. We think this is
a pretty good showing, when we take
into consideration the severe weather of
last winter and spring. We are very
glad, indeed, to see the average attend?
ance increasing. Regular attendance is
necessary to real success in the school
room. Parents who are trying to edu?
cate their children should give this ques?
tion careful consideration. There are
several reasons for thi3. The two mill

The constant influence of the beautiful
as a factor in education should be one of
the advantages arising from the large
proportion of women teachers in the
schools. If woman is born with a beauty
mission tbe school room, with its rich?
ness of opportunity to meet and mold
children from all classes of society, is the
beat field for her work. Her opportuni?
ties here are limitless for cultivating the
moral sense, through the inherent love of
the beautiful. A large hearted, sympa?
thetic woman entering the school room
in the morning, tasteful in her little
costume touches, and her hands full of
something gathered from nature on the
way, is e silent, eloquent sermon, that
makes ordinary ethical preaching a pale
affair. Children thrive morally under
teachers who are dainty in touch and
appreciative of beauty in all the envi?
ronments of school work. There is a
moral uplift in the atmosphere oi school
rooms where [esthetic training is the'hat
ural outlet of the teacher's spirit. Beauty
is allied to purity, and tho boy who will
wear a llower on his coat shows a direct
avenue to the germ of manliness in his
nature.
It is not much use for a coarse grained
teacher to attempt the veneer of a pre?
tended love of the beautiful if the refine?
ment does not run all through the nature.
Unconscious teaching peneirates deepest
and lasts longest. The glance of genuine
appreciation which a teacher gives to the
one fine picture in tho room she haH sac?
rificed to obtaiu is an arrow shot into the
soul of the meanest dressed bny in the
room, who knows no more of what makes
a good picture than he knows of chemical
affinities. But if the teacher admires
that picture it must be fine, and so he
begins to study it, with the result that
tho cour.se cigarette painting begius to
show what it-is. In a hundred such ways
the teacher points to the beautiful, and
leads the way into realms of which the
ignorant children from poor homes, have
never dreamed of the existence. Every
step into this domain is a step up?a step
toward the creation of a new and higher
ideal. Bat it is well to remember that
cultivation of refinement is always a
matter of deeds not words.?School Jour?

Cotton Seed Hnlls as Stock Food,
While cotton seed hulls are admitted
on all sides to be an excellent rough feed,
I do not think they have yet been esti?
mated high enough in comparison with
hay or other provender.
Having fed large quantities for two
years, I regard them being worth more
pound for pound than average bermuda
or other grass hay. I feed per day about
S to 12 pounds hulls, 4 pounds wheat
bran and 4 pounds cotton Beed meal,
thoroughly mixed together, with very
satisfactory results. This ration is very
cheap, about 10 cents per day, and the
yield and quality of milk highly satisfac?
tory. Hulls are much more easily
bandied than hay and there is less waste
in feediug, as the cows eat up the hulls
very clean.
In the spring of 1890, about the time I
thought there was getting to be abundant
grass in pasture, my hulls gave out. The
milk yield began to fall off so that I in?
creased the bran and meal, but never did
I, during the whole spring, get as good
results as when I used hulls. So I con?
sider hulls (fed in connection with bran
and cotton seed meal) equal to tolerably
ample bermuda pasture as a milk pro?
ducer.
Having found tbem such an excellent
food for cattle and knowing that cotton
seed meal is being fed to some extent to
horses, I reasoned that bulls ought also
to be good for horses. So I procured
some corn meal, and by mixing only a
very small quantity of cotton seed meal
and hulls with bran and corn meal, suc?
ceeded in making them eat it. The
quantity of hulls and meal was increased
gradually until each animal consumed
about three pounds of meal and consid?
erable hulls.
The oil mills have started up again,
and I will commence right away to feed
hulls and meal to my horse stock. I
never succeeded in getting them to eat
bulls and meal without mixing with
other food, and do not know whether
well fed animals can be made to do so or
not. I will feed it as ''<rgely as I can.
It will very much lessen .he expense of
horse feediug. Eight cents a day in bulls
and meal will keep a thousand-pound
work ox fat. We find horses and oxen
in their natural state eating the same
kinds of food. What difference can exist
between the digestive organs of the two
animals, that one can thrive on a foud
unsuited to the otber? Iam sure that
tbe horses and mules that work the cot?
ton fields of the South will eventually be
fed largely on cotton seed.
This writer can very well remember
(having been raised on a cotton farm 32
miles from a railroad) when teams of
oxen would haul load3 of cotton away
from the gin where hundreds of bushels
of seed were rotting, and would have to
pull in addition, enough $1.50 corn to
eat on the trip, and it might be that this
very wagon would return loaded with
Western corn to feed tbe horses to make
the next crop. Cotton seed was then
thought to be unfit for oxen. That was
economy with a vengeance, but we are
doing very much the same thing now.
The South is paying literally millious
of dollars tor horses and mules, corn,
meat, hay and other products of other
sections, while the oil mills of the South
are burning a million tons anuually of
the finest feed (c. s. hulls) for want of
purchasers at S2 to ?4 a ton, and that
here in the lar I ? f cheap coal and wood.
Enough hulls burned, if fed to a good
class of animals, to produce two hundred
millions pounds of beef, worth six million
dollars; or, if mixed with a little more
skill and made into butter, to produce
twelve million dollars worth. If made to
take the place of the hay, corn and oats,
purchased abroad, the saving would be
cuormoUH, probably twenty million dol?
lars at the prices prevailing tbe past
year.? W. C. Welborh, inSouthern Farm,

EXPERIMENTS WITH COTTON.
Results of Testa at the Experiment Sta?
tion,
The ?ecoud bulletin of the Clemson
Agricultural College and experiment sta?
tion, comprising the report of Dr. J. M.
McBryde, formerly director of the State
experiment Btation, on "Cotton Experi?
ments with Varieties and with Fertili
zers," has just been issued. It is very
lengthy and covers the results and aver?
ages in several series of tests bearirjg
upon important open questions in the
culture of some or our leading crops,
which tests were begun in 13S7 and con?
tinued until 1890 at the Darlington and
Spartanburg experimental farms. At
each farm a piece of land, apparently
uniform throughout in its mechanical and
chemical condition, was selected for each
series of tests and divided up into plats
of one twentieth of an acre each.
The period during which the tests were
made included years very unlike in the
character of their seasons. The combin?
ed averages for the two farms for the
three years covers three favorable and
three unfavorable seasons, and are enti?
tled to great weight as representing a fair
average of seasons. As to the results of
the tests on cotton the report says :
"While there are indications that the
long staple and the short staple groups
are rather moro productive than the Rio
Grande, they are not sufficiently so to
compensate, in yield or lint, for their
lower percentages of lint.
"It would appear to follow from the
results of the tests that in working to im?
prove any strain of the long or short sta?
ple type, while the matter of productive?
ness should not be neglected, attention
should be largely directed to increasing
its percentage of lint. In the improve?
ment of strains of the Rio Grande type,
on the other hand, the chief aim should
be to increase their productiveness.
"Well directed and continuous effort
will improve the quality of the fibre aB
well as increase the percentage of lint and
the productiveness of the plant."
The report discussed the manurial re?
quirements of cotton. The conclusions
reached are that cotton requires nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash, of which
phosphoric acid is relatively the most
important and controls the action of the
other two. Nitrogen is relatively more
important than potash. The proportion
and amounts of these ingredients are : 1
nitrogen, 2} phosphoric acid and J potash,
and the amounts called for by a crop
yielding 300 pounds of lint per acre are,
nitrogen 20 pounds, phosphoric ?cid 50
pounds, potash 15 pounds.
The amounts of acid and proportionate
amounts of nitrogen and potash cannot
be indefinitely increased with the expec?
tation of obtaining a corresponding in?
crease in the crop.
The gain in crop does not keep pace
with increase of fertilizers, and a point is
speedily reached beyond which this gain
is not sufficient to meet the additional
cost of the heavier applications. The
soil canuot profitably be forced?the ap?
plication of fertilizers must be regulated
by its mechanical as well aB chemical
condition.
"Stable manure containing organic
nitrogen is the best fertilize;- of its class
and lasting-or cumulative in its effects.
Of the commercial forms of nitrogen
amoDg which the farmer has to choose,
the organic nitrogen of dried blood is
perhaps the best, and at present times the
cheapest. Ah between cotton seed meal
and cotton seed thero is a slight difference
in favor of the former. Whole cotton
seed is as efficacious as ground cotton
seed. Applications of copperas are
without effect upon cotton. Nitrate of
soda should generally be jipplied along
with the other fertilizers at the time of
planting. Fertilizers may bo indifferently
drilled or broadcasted where they are
liberally applied, but drilling is to be
preferred where small amounts are em?
ployed."
As to the modes of planting cotton, at
both farms close planting gave about the
same average as wide planting. The
agreement between the averages of the
checked and drilled is surprisingly close.
Ao increase of from one-half foot to one
foot between the rows mad<5 no difference
in the average results. "We are forced
to conclude that, as far as cur tests go,
one method of planting will give about
the same results as the other. Checking,
how: rer, gaves hand labor and gives the
far ..er more command over his crop. It
is somewhat cheaper than drilling. The
distance between the rows, within certain
limits, does uot affect the results as much
as is generally supposed."
Topping proved of no benefit whatever
to the crop. The teats also showed no
evidence of any beneficial action upon
the soil of the oat crop sown between the
cotton rows.
Several experiments were made in or?
der to ascertain whether cow peas could
be advantageously grown along with cot?
ton. At Spartanburg, in consequence of
the character and condition of the land
and the unfavorable Reasons, the pea crop

CURED DRUNKARD'S TALK.
Believe, tliey are Really Cured by Keelj's
Treatment.
New York Sun,
The death of Col. John F. Mines has
beeu followed by the disappearance of
John Forgie. Both had tried the Keely
bichloride of gold treatment. Col. Mines
went to Bwight, 111., stayed there Fix or
seven weeks, and returned to New York
in the firm belief that his taste for al?
cohol bad been killed. A couple of
weeks ago he surrendered to his old
enemy, went on a prolonged spree, and
died in the hospital on Blackwell's
Island. Forgie was treated at Keely'e
branch establishment at White Plains,
but was not discharged as cured, as was
the case with Col. Mines. He insisted,
however, on going back to his business,
be did, made one successful trip through
the West, returned to New York on Nov.
1, preparatory to leaving here a few days
later, and he has not been seen since.
It has been thought that perhaps Col.
Miues's downfall caused Forgie to despair,
but that is only conjecture.
A reporter went to White Plains yes?
terday and talked with several men who
said they had been cured by the Keely
treatment, as well as with some who were
undergoing the treatment.
Charles Walker keeps a hotel, and
every one in the town knows him. He is
a ruddy-faced man, 50 years old, and
seems to be the picture of health. This
is what ho said when asked if he bad
lost faith in the cure by the death of
Mines and the disappearance of Forgie:
"No, no, no I I will tell you my ex?
perience. I used, morphine for fifteen
years. My arms and legs, in fact nearly
my whole body, was covered with pucc
tures .aused by the needles. I need to
take seveuty grains a day, enough to kill
twenty-five men. I would never leave
the house to be gone a couple "of hours
without taking my syringe and three or
four needles with me. I was then using
hypodermic injections forty times a day
with the double solution of morphine.
I went to the institute four times a day
for nine weeks. At the end ofthat time
I was cured. If a man can get out of
such a hell hole as I was in through the
cure, I say, God bless Keely. The re?
cent death and disappearance you speak
of have not shaken my belief at all.
Keely says : 'I don't give you a new set
of brains, but if you are not a lunatic
I'll cure you.' They gave me sixteen
ounces of whiskey every day for four
weeks, and I drink now if I want to,
but I never had the slightest desire to
return to the morphine habit. Tbe in?
ebriate asylum men say that the only
way to cure a drunkard is to turn his
toes up. Keely says, 'You lie.' A fel?
low went away Saturday and gave his
patient a bottle of whiskey that he had
carried for a month.
A wealthy man, a resident of a town
near White Plains, was next seen. At
his request his name is not printed. He
said:
"I have not lost faith in the cure. I
have drank more liquor than any man
living to my age. I have been in asy?
lums. I have been around the world in
a sailing ship twice. I have done every?
thing that a man could do to getaway
from rum, but I could not do it until I
came here. For four months I have not
touched a drop, and have not tbe slight
cat craving for it. My faith is still per?
fect."
Another patient was seen playing cart's
in one of the hotels. He said he had
been on a spree for a month. Out of
sheer desperation he came to White
Plains. He began tbe treatment, and
whiskey was given to him for two
days.
"Since then," he said, "although I
have had a bottle in my room, I have
never touched it. I don't want it. The
doctor told meto drink all I wanted at
the institute; then, he said, we will know
what you drink, but don't drink outside.
When I came here I could not bold a
pen. Now I am as steady as you are.
This is the work of three weeks. Lost
faith? No."
Dr. Vanderburg, tbe head of the in?
stitute was seen next. The doctor said
that in the case of patients newly arrived
and under a terrible nervous strain the
news of the death of Mines and the mys?
terious disappearance of Forgie might
cause harm. It would cause despair and
take away all hope. "Why," he said,
"two cases out of ten thousand have been
reported in the newspaper?. We do not
even claim such a percentage. We will
allow that perhaps five out of a hundred
are incurable, owing to some chronic dis?
ease or to natural weakness of mind.
What we do is this. We put a man back
where he was when he was born. He
bad no desire for liquor then. After the
treatment here the desire is gone, and
if he resumes the habit with his knowl?
edge of the pa?t, an insane asylum is the
place for him. We kill the taste and
desire for liquor. The man who leaves
here cured has no more desire for it
than the child not yet born. As for the
psychological influence or the influence
of hypnotism, which Dr. Shrady and oth?
ers of bis class think we exert on patients,
that is mere both. I have physicians to
bring men and women here and say :
'You can do ten times as much for them
as wo can. We don't know how you do
it, but take thorn.' Now that brings me to
the secret of the cure. Dr. Keely eaid to
me the other day in this room that if
the medical faternity would acknowledge
the efficacy of his treatment he would
publish every fact in connection with it.
Forgie's case was uot a test case by any
means. He was a brandy druukard, and
one of the worst I ever saw. He could
hardly walk when he came here. He
was not discharged as cured, but went
away against my advice. His case was
not a failure. He took the bit between
his teeth and went away before he should
have gone.
"Now, here is a letter from a doctor
in Troy. It came three days ago. He
drauk liquor for teu years, and is only 31
years old. He has been at Fort Hamil?
ton and in the Christian Home. Before
he come to White Plains, on July 22 of
this year, he was drinking dsily anything
over and above a quart of whiskey he
could get. He left here August 12, and,
as you see, he Eays in his letter he has
not tasted a drop or had any desire to
do so."
After.the talk with the doctor the re?
porter walked into the main hall of the
Institute. It was 5 o'clock in the after?
noon. Thirty or forty men, young and
oid, all well dressed, all bright looking,
were lounging around, a good many had
thoir coats off with the shirt sleeve of
ouo arm rolled up. They talked freely,
and not a man expressed a disbelief in
the cure. Pretty soon the doctor came
in and went to a table, and, taking a hy?
podermic syringe, filled it with red fluid
taken from a shell-shaped saucer in front
of him. The first man stepped forward,
held up his arm, the doctor inserted the
point of a syringe, and withdrew it in a
second. The whole operation did not take
ten seconds.
On the way to the station groups of
men were going to be speared, as they
call it, and in the hotel tfcere were card
parties and men playing billiards and
pool, There was temptation enough, but
no one seemed to heed it. Tho hotel sa?
loon keepers are unanimous in sayiDg
that they had seen but one or two back?
sliders.
A Yictory for the Banks.
Newberry, S. C, November 18.? The
Court of Common Pleas adjourned sine
die to-day. Judge Hudson left this af?
ternoon for his home. He rendered a
decision to-day in a case that will be of
interest to the public.
A great deal has been said lately about
the assessments of banks at the market
value of their stock. The National Bank
of Newberry has always returned its
stock at par, $150,000. The market value
is about $160 per share. Tue comptroller
general ordered the auditor to list the
stock for taxation at $160 per share,
thereby increasing the total return of the
bank $80,000. The bank made applica?
tion to the auditor to reduce this assess?
ment, and upon his refusal application
wa3 made to the comptroller-general, and
he too refused.
On Monday a petition was filed before
Judge Hudson asking that a writ of man?
damus issue to compel the auditor to re?
duce the assessment. An order was is?
sued and served upon the auditor to show
cause why the writ should not issue. The
case was heard this morning.
Yesterday afternoon, in response to a
telegram from Gen. Ellerbee, Auditor
Crom? went to Columbia. He returned
this morning with Assistant Attorney
General Townsend, and submitted,
through his attorney, his reply to the
rule to show cause.
The auditor, iu this case, has been act?
ing in response to the orders and com?
mands of the comptroller general. The
Newberry bank, I believe, is the first to
take action in this matter.
Judge Hudson said as it was a matter
of :ome importance he would announce
his decision at once, and later, that he
would file it in writing, giving his reasons
therefor. Ho held that the township
board of assessors and the county board
of equalizatiou having adopted the valu?
ation of the personal property of the
bank fixed in the return of the board?
S150.000, the comptroller-general had no
authority under the law to raise that as?
sessment. That his order to the county
auditor to r.dd $30,000 to the assessment
was illegal and nugatory. That the
county auditor was therefore under no
obligations to obey that order and acted
illegally in obeying it. He held there?
fore that the auditor should correct his
last tax list and tax duplicate as they
now stand so as to restore the origiual
valuation of the property and make the
corresponding reduction in tho tax paya?
ble by the bank, and ordered that a writ
of mandamus be forthwith issued by the
clerk of the court, requiring the auditor
to make these reductions.
The position by Mr. Townsend in his
argument was that the auditor could not
now make the correction or reduction as
the tax duplicate bad already passed out
of his bands into the hands of the Treas?
urer.
The case will be taken at once to the
Supreme Court. An order was passed
in accordance with this decision directing
the clerk to issuo forthwith the writ of
maudamus and it will very likely be done
to-morrow.
The decision of Judge Hudson is a v'c
tory for the banks, and it has reason and
justice on its side. Judge Hudson re?
marked in rendering his decision that
whether the return of the bank was too
high or too low was not the question be?
fore him and be had nothing to do with
it. He had only to decide whether, un?
der the law, the auditor had the right to
raise an assessment after it had been
made by the party and passed upon by the
township board of assessors and county
board of equalization, the legally con?
stituted authorities to change or correct
returns.?Columbia State.
Waiting, Only Waiting,
Some how or other ho got iuto the
back yard of a house on Broad street,
and found the mistress working in the
kitchen.
"Good morning," he said, looking
through the window, "I have with me
some very useful articles, madam, which
I'd like to show you "
"Well, I don't want them," she snap?
ped, "and I haveu't got time to look at
them if I did."
"But madam"?
"I tell you I'm too busy to look at
them," she interrupted.
"But madam," he persisted, "I can sit
down in the shade here and wait till you
are not too busy."
' Oh, can you, " she inquired sarcasti?
cally
"Certainly, ma'am," he answered "I'm
in no great hurry. I suppose you don't
care if I sit down to wait, do you ?" he
&sid with becoming humility.
"No, I don't ; and what's more I don't
care to tell you if you are going to wait
in that backyard till I'm not busy,you'd
better get a ninety-nine year lease on the
premises, and make some arrangements
fur shelter, because the winters in this
section get pretty raw far a man sitting
in the shade with uoihing to do but wait
till I ain't busy."
