The platform adopted at Allan

convention of straight Democrats,

American Grapes.

A correspondent of the Boston
Spectator after a late trip through
the vine growing countries of
Europe, is convinced that Ameri.
can grape growers follow too ser
vilely the process Of European
culture. 1t is well known that
the European grapes can begrown
upon this continent only on the
Pacigc slope, where the climatic
conditions resemble those of the
western coast Of the Eastern con-
tinent. Our native grapes being
adapted to an entirely different
class Of conditions, would natural
ly be expected to require a differ.
ent treatment. Our excessive
pruping, foR example, is thought
by many to seriously cripple the
productive power OF American
grapes. To test this matter for
himself the writer in the Specta-

Skirving's Liverpool Swede is

Self-Reliance.

There is nothing more likely tc
result in successful career than
confident selt.reliance. 1t is as
tonishing how much more youth
will accomplish who relies upon
himself, than one who depends up.
on others for assistance. Having
first ascertained the direction in,
and the means by which his OBJ.
ject is to 6e reached, let him put
his whole energies to work, and
with uuflagging industry press for
ward. The young man who, in-
stead of rising at FIVE sleeps till
seven or eight, and who spends his
evening OIL the corners, or in the
companionship Of those who are
wanting in laudable ambition.
rarely ever wins a position of hon.
or, or achieves a reputation above
that enjoyed by the common mas.
ses. In a country like ours, where
the avenues to honor and wealth
are open to all, there is no reason.
able excuse that can be offered for
a mans failure to achieve one or
the other, or both. I'll health or
extraordinary misfortune may keep
him down, but these are the exs
ceptions that establish the rule.-
Few men know of how much they
are capable until they have first
thoroughly tested their Abilities
An hour of each evening, spent
with some good author. or in the
study OF some branch of useful sci.
ence, will, in the course of a few
years, give to a young man who
thus devotcs this small portion of
his time an amount of information,
literary and scientific, which cam
not fail to fit him for position to
which he could never properly
aspire without the attention to
study.

q The slops from the kitchen
should not be thrown out at the back
door or window, or near by on the
ground, as is the case I'd a great
number of families {; for this is
very unpleasant. and nauseatiisg,
and no donbt is, often the source Of
disease -gto9 to9sthe-family.a All the
greasy slops should begiven to the
ssine every day. If you do'not
like to give them to your stock,
haul two or three hundred bushels
of vegetable mould to some con.
venient place. and put the slops on
on this pile. .As soon as the pile
becomes saturated, haul an addi.
ton Of one hundred bushels, and
put evenly over it. This- heap
may be in q circular or square
shape, as you prefer; but it
should be hollow on the top, 90
that all the slops will run to the
centre when thrown upon it. If
you do not like this, you can
greatly improve your gardens by
the application OF these slops to
the vegetables !; when the slops
are greasy, be careful not to wet
the leaves of the plants in the ap.
plication. The suds from the
laundry should be used in the
manner above described. The
rinsings from spittoons, and the
urine from bed chambers should
not be wastefully thrown here and
there, but there should be a
special pile set apart for them ;
and by the use of a little plaster
occasionally, you will have moth
ing unpleasant to the eye or smell,
which is so often the case on
many farms.

CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.
WILLIAM T. GRAYSoN.

1t is a little remarkable that Col.
onel Grayson and myself never
saw each other, although we were
warm friends, belonged to the
samo political party, corresponded
for a number Of years, and lived
in the same State all our lives. He
was born in Beaufort, s. c., No.
'vember, 1888, graduated at the
South Carolina College in 1909,
and elected to the State LegIsla
.ture in 1918. He was admitted
to the Bar after he had been a
member of the Legislature. In
1881 he was elected to the State
Senate, and member of Congress
in 1888. He was appointed Col.
'lector of the Port of Charleston in
1S41, by President Tyler. In our
Notification controversy, Colonel
Grayson held that "the State had
power, under her reserved rights,
to determine when her grants to
the Federal Government had been
violated !; but he was not disposed
to push the collision to the extreme
of civil war" He became after.
wards, in his more mature age, a
decided Union man, and opposed
seeession with zeal and ability
He wrote a great many articles for
the newspapers and reviews, dep
recating disnnion in very strong
terms, and pointing ont the ex.
treme folly Of the course Sonth
Caroline proposed to .pursue.
Colonel Grayson was not only a
lawyer and Statesman. but a liter.
arv gentleman and poet of eonsid-
cradle distinction. As q beautiful
writer, be had very few equals in
the State. His style xas graceful
and easy ;and ia argument he was
able Rnd logical. He contributed
o great many articlesto the South
e,n Revieso and other periodicals..
His poem entitled "The Hireling
and Slave" gave him a wide rep.
utation at the South, and excl.
ted much interest at the time it
was published. He compared the
negro slave in the Southern States
with the pauper laborer in Eu.
rope, and Showed that the condi.
tion of the former was preferable
to that Of the latter. He also pub.
lished an Indian tale, "Chicora, ("
and a poem entitled "The Coun.
try" II is also said that he was
the author Of o poem entitled
"Marion," which gave an account
OF the military career of that pat
riot and hero. Not long before
his death, he wrote the life Of
his friend, james L. Petigru, for
whom he bad, in common with ev.
cry trpe-bearted Carolinian, the
highest regard. This life is well
written, as everything was that
