' e< ? ol Good. ?c The amount of fertilizer tags sold in 'South Caarolina up to March 1st is-eighty thousand tons less than same date last year, and one hundred and '' twelve thousand less than year before ' 1 at same date. There are several reasons for this 'U shortage; among* which are the deter initiation among those that were fore- 1,1 ed to sell cotton below the minimum price to pay for fertilizers. Another j" class have not' paid for last year's fertilizers and neither the dealers or j ' this class of farmers care t<? trade more until lasl crop lias been settled, " and many that paid cash for fertilizers do not care to sell out their cot- ' ion at a lo, - on cost of production and use I lie same money to grow an- " other crop, with fair pr< -peels of '-v getting much loss than cosi out of "" this year's crop. To all those (hat (^' ihave not sold cotton it is like exchanging a good sind safe lot. of bales of cotton for a very uncertain lot. of acres of cotton in the field. Tndica- St lions point this nllcrniaih of the recent panic as forcing conditions upon the farmer that will ultimately re- Dv null in his good instead of injury. wi John C.

THE ENCHANTED MESA. j ory of Great Disaster which Wiped ( Out the Population. ^ mver Field and Farm. c Tire story of the Enchanted Mesa ( is but a tradition when, in 1541, the aniards first visited the pueblo of onia, in what, is now Valencia coun- c , New Mexico. Powerful tribes inha- jr led the region. Those tribes or na>ns were constantly at war with ^ eh other, which accounts for I he | rlitied character of the villages of J e natives. The Kueres, whose do- , Midanls now occupy Aeoma, held * is region and dwell in small forti- \ <1 towns, the capital of which was ^ oma. It was not, however,, the oma of today, but a city perched c on llie top of the great rock now J lied .Mesa Kncanlada. II was the ignilicent cilv of Hie nation, and v ere dwelt the great men of the t be, together with their families. j The rock then, as now, was unseal- , le, save al the one point where a c rrow and precipilions trail led up ^ v dizzy height. While, not the most lwiiienl dwelling place, for neither iter nor vegetation was to be nnd upon the summit, it was ale j mi the attacks of foes. One man at | e lop of the trail could defend the y against the warriors of the on- 1 e West. One day, while a largo { inber of the inhabitants were at . >rk in the lie his on the plain below, atending to tlie affairs of the tribe the various neighboring villages, niclliing witiiin the rock, or in the rth beneath il, awoke lo liIV and lion. There was a heaving, a uirmiug and a shivering of the eat rock, and, with a mighty noise, parted i.i twain and a. portion fell fragments to the plain below. Such persons as were carried down the debris were crushed to death, worse fate remained for those left, isoncrs on tire lop of the mesa, for :iI which fell carriecT away the narw trail, the only means of ascent il descent. The stranded ones pericd from thirst and starvation. Th\? esent Aeoma family are the desndanU of disaster, Ethnologists io visited the lop of the rock some ars ago found unmistakable evinces ih;it it had once been the site habitation. The story of the dister had, previous lo thai lime, been ^credited and considered but an le Indian legend. The discovery of e ancient ruins, however, seemed nfirmalory of Ihe tale and il has ice be??n credited. Judge Advises a Mother. nab a Daily News. .
