Truth About Bald Mountain.

SPARTANBURG, May 2G.-In ac-
cordance with your instructions to
visit Bald Mountain and report the
facts in regard to the alleged rup-
ture of that famous peak, | left
Spartanburg last Thursday morning
and after Il fatiguing ride of forty
miles through the mountains reach
ed Bald Mountain next day. Find
ing it impossible to reconcile con-
tiicting rumOrs, OF TO ascertain the
truth by inquiry, | procured guides
and assembled the peak the same
afternoon. But one man had ever
seen the t~issure, and him | could
not find. After a long and pain
full search, however, we finally
CHANGED upon the object of our
quest, and found it to be a crack
about one hundred yards IN length,
about four feet III width, and OF
unknown depth. The crevice,
which runs nearly due east and
west, is parallel with and but a
short distance from the brow of
the precipice, which marks the
southern boundary of the noun
tain. That it is of recent origin
was plainly to be seen, and Is fur
Their proved by the freshly torn roots
of the trees growing near 1t. Care
full Investigation leads me to n
conclusion that the crevlce merely
marks the separation of "a very
large section of the cliff from the
body of the mountain, and that the
break will result, sooner or later,
in a land slide, differing only III
point of extent from others like it
and of frequent occurrence III this
locality. There has been no APP
pearance of smoke, nor smell OF
sulphur. and the mountain eXpe-
rlenced its last ague at least a year
before the crack appeared. Wheth-

The Uses of Millet.

the other crops are out Of the way.
1t may be successfully grown upon
land toe wet for putting in oats or
other early spring crops. or it NAV

common millct viii ripen It's seed

and 1t Will then make good hay, be-
sides affording a large quantity Of
seeds valuable for poultry. or. if
ground, excellent to mix with corn
or other grain to feed cattle and
pigs. The seed of millet is worth
all the crop costs to raise, leaving
the hay for Il profit. As the crop
can be put IN and harvested at sea-
sons Of the year when other work
does not press upon the farmers
time, It's culture is made easier. 1t
is an excellent crop to put upon IA
stubborn lecc Of ground To kill out
weeds, such as thistlcs. dock, etc,
for If the land Is well plowed and
the surface made mellow, the millet
will soon shade it thoroughly and
Kill out the foul stuff. \ little
manure on the surface narrowed in
with the seed will often double the
crop. Time should be given to
allow the seed to ripen before
frost. The crop may be run
through Il threshing machine. or,
if bound up into bundles, threshed
with fails to separate the seeds. A
half bushcl of seed is abundant for
an acre.
The Golden or German millet is
the best for Il forage plant, and re-
sembles cor In It's growth, as it
throws out Il broad. corn-like leaf.
The stalk is also soft and eatable.
This sort OF millet requires nearly
the whole season to mature It's seed.
and should, in a northern latitude.
be sown BY the first of June. For
forage alone it may be put in the
last of June, when it will make full
growth of stalk, but not mature the
seed. 1t requires stronger land
than the common to make Il vlgor-
Gus growth. On rich land the
amount of forage Is immense.
Stock will eat either of these grain
grasses with Il decided relish in
winter, and they are most excellent
for "A change For green feed they
are also good. AS Il supplementary
crop, when the meadows are light,
millet is most valuable. A meadow
with a slim prospect for hay might
be turned over, and be made TO
Weld Il satisfactory crop by sowing
to millet, and at the same time he
fitted for a crop OF grain the next
year. If the frost holds oil, the
seed will not mature when the

A competent medical electrician must have thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and must have made Disease a study.
 Not every one who happens to possess an electrical battery, can apply electric ity understandingly and with beneficial results.
 There are those who pretend to be medical electricians, who know no more about the nature of electricity than does a child, and whose knowledge of anato- my and physiology has not begun to manifest itself but though such persons happen, occasionally, to effect cure they know not how-the benefit 10 the few is more than counterbaanced by the injury to the many, so it is evident that persons who desire electrical treat ment, should go only to the skilled ope- ratOr whose reputation as such cannot be disputed.
 Dr. J. D. s. SMITH has had nine years experience as a medical electri- clan, five of which were with the late Dr. s. W. Beckwith of Phila., whose practice was the most extensive of any medical electrician in America, and the remaining four years of constant prac- tice have been in Bridgeport, where hundreds of patients can testify as to his ability as far us their own cases are concerned.
 The Dr. has, at considerable expense, fitted up his offices, with all the conve- niencies requisite for the thorough ap- plication of electricity, and during the last four years he has, by close applica- tion to his profession, and his untiring efforts to ameliorate the condition of his patients, built up large and constantly increasing practice. His charges are reasonable, and are not varied from ex- cept to the poor. Many persons have given up hope, when thes could have been cured by electricity in skilled hands, so it Is important that those sui fering with nervous and chronic diseas- es should call on Dr. Smith for consul tation, which is always free, and find out whether their cases do not admit of cure. If dot, they will be frankly told so.

cannot be looked on IN that light Not merely
one Of them, but even twins, or q limitless

resulting therefrom are not a source Of legal
complaint.

are strong constitution parishes, and 50 de-
clared emphatieally at the mass meeting DIT
which delegates were elected to the Baton
Rouge Convention. But while doing this
they have practically nullilied their action by
their choice of delegates and candidates. In
Richland, for instance. d number Of the anti
convention delegates were elected to Baton
Rouge. It SO happens that the convention
delegates cannot attend at Baton Rouge, and
that only one delegate, Mr. Milling, an oppo-
nent Of constitutional convention, will be
present there. Richland refused to instruct
It's delegates and authorizes any Of them pres
ent at Baton Rouge to cast the entire vote Of
the parish. The probabilities are therefore,
that unless the other delegates from the par
ish change their minds, o strong convention
parish like Richland will cast five votes
against new constitution.
In Franklin 1t Is much the same story. The
mass meeting declared for constitutional
convention, asked the next Legislature to
order this at as early q day as possible, and
then indorsed for the Senate Col Lem Bow
den, an constitutionalist, who honestly
informed those present that he was opposed
to the convention. and would oppose 1t Ii
elected to Ghe Senate.
It is impossible to understand the action
taken by these two parishes in this matter.
They are stultifying them selves by their
course, which will do more to injure the cause
of q constitutional convention than would bit
ter opposition thereto.
