Our BranchVlle Letter.


BRANCHFlLLE, Aprll IND 1917.
Spring is now lilly upon us with
her bursting lucS, her incense of
flowers and her sweet genial skies.
All nature scensjoytul. The birds
in n universal jubilee are chanting
their sweetest so,.s. Indeed, OFT
p"roM everything seems happy; but
alas it is only surface deep. The
flowers and birds and zephyrs Of dear
pring time are inadequate to pro
duco happiness il the thousands of
homes where sery guant and
squalid has takct refuge. In these
ahodes Of wrciclndness spring is II"
brighter, no HAPPIER titan winter.
Charity conid dis3el their gloom; but
Is it is a flowero of rare growth, the
blessings resulting from it are like
the visits of angels, few and far
between"
The season thus far has been pro
p%itious, and gardeners and farmers
are rcjoiced thereat. The c.erI of
the weather permitted March 10 be
exceedingly well behaved, as it was
only in her expiring days that she
showed To any considerable degree
her true nature.

a Terrific Storm.

We learn that the rain storm ON
Saturday evening last was very dis
tructlve in some sections Of the
county. In the neighborhood of
Camp Greek Church miles Of fencing
blown level with the ground. On the
plantation Oh Mr.. j. II. w. Stevens,
In the Waxhaws, the storm partook
somewhat Of a hurricane, blowing
down houses and twisting off the tops
OF large trees. The track of the hur-
rlcanc was from west to east, and ex-
tended only about 400 yards in width.
Singular to state, yet we are informed
that no lives were lost. Mr.. John
Denton was Smelling corn in his crib
when the storm struck the house, car.
rying off the roof and scattering tho
timber in every direction, yet be Ie~
co'ved but slight injury. 4 stable,
containing two mules, was leyeled to
the earth, yet the mules came out uu-
hurt. At this place the rain fell in
torrents for about fifteen minutes, and
the wind blew with great velocity,
and which was destructive to many
fine fruit trees. We presume, from
the indications, that the storm was
pretty general throughoutthe county.

Wherein Consists the Success OF
Farming.

Successful farming depends on tho
breeding and rearing of farm animals
OF some kind, not only for dairy pro-
ducts, meat, wool and increase, but
for manure. Farm yard
must always remain the standard
fertilizer, while experience ia this
country has shown that, under skill
full hands, it may be supplemented
by commercial fertilizers. 1t is claim
Cd, however, by good English far
asSs asrstiGhial fa-ti-
!izers act chiefly rs a stimulant, aud
after Il time the land refuses to ans.
wer the spur. This is mos. apparans
on the poor and lighter soils, but
even strong land loses heart unless a
fair proportion of farm-yard manure
is applied. The loudest agricultural
complaints i'll Great Britain are FROM
districts where scientific farming has
been carried to its highest pitch, such
as the Scotch Lothians aad in Nor
folk. II is highly important that, in
tho purchase Of artificial fertilizers,
farmers should deal only with those
houses of established reputation =

one to send to South America for . sup
ply; but If the tree can grow wild in
the mountainous parts of the torrid

enough to bear transporting to, and
transplanting in, colder countries. The
science of arboriculture has made rapid
advances of late, and transitions are now
made which years ago would have been
deemed impossible. At all events, it is

A New England Romance.

The north shore of Massachusetts,
from Boston to Newburyport is preg-
nant with romances of the colonial days.
Marblehead at one time was second on
ly to Boston in commercial importance.
Having occasion to visit this town few
days since rode by st. Michael's
Church, which was built in 1741. and
was pointed out the house ON Front
Street which stands on the site Of the
house in which Agnes SURFACE lived.
When Sir William Shirley was Govern
or of Massachusetts,, Sir Charles Henry
FARMLAND, or Sir Harry, - he was call
ed, was Collector of the Port Of Boston.
He was one of Cromwell's descendants,
but that did not make him very zeal
Gus Puritan. He was rich, handsome,
gallant young fellow; and to make
long story short, ON. one occasion he
visited Marblehead and there fell in love
with . young girl, barefooted and clad
as . servant, who was kneeling on the
strirs with bucket Of water beside her,
washing the staircase. Sir Harry was
struck with the beauty Of her form and
was still more sstonished at The beauty
of her face. She had no shoes because
she was TO poor to buy shoes. Sir Har-
~ gave her . silver crown-Piece with

Agnes SURFACE soon afterwards went to

were her guardian and she his ward.
He gave her the best education Boston
had to offer. She became accomplish

cratic Boston. In 1854 FARMLAND was
called home to England; he took his
ward with him; his family and friends
gave Agnes the cold shoulder. Sir lar-
~ then made Lisbon, at that time the
most luxurious capital in Europe, his
home. In 1855 Lisbon was destroyed
by an earthquake. Agnes SURFACE was
one of the living. and she found Sir
Harry. who, had gone out hunting, in
the very peril Of death. He regarded
Agnes a. his. deliverer, and As soon as
possible he sent for priest, having dis
carded his selfishness and weakness,
and married Agnes. On arriving in
England they were married according to
tho form of the Church Of England.
Returning to America, Agnes SURFACE,
or rather Lady FARMLAND. lived in the
handsomest house in Boston. In 176e
Sir Harry died in England, and Agnes
returned to America, and died in 17t3.

A MARKED effect of the failure of pub
Lie life insurance companies is the in.
crease in the mutual beneficial associa.
ton among secret societies. As rule,
the assessments per death amount only
to one dollar. Some of the older asso-
Citations, having considerable fund in
vested, pay stated sums at death, from
$500 upward, the average being 81, 600.

year 1877 places the number of such as

year at 2O4, with q membership of 1885,

ADVICE 10 Consumptives.

Tho celebrated physician. DR.. Paul Memey-
or, gives the following valuable suggestions
to persons suffering from lung affections:
"The patient must with scrupulous conscien-
tioueness insist upon breathing fresh, pure
air, and must remember that the air OF closed
rooms Is always more or less bad.
No man, however uncleanly, would drink
muddy, dirty water. A party which occupies
Q room for hours, breathing the same air,
might be compared to . party OF bathers
drinking the water in which they bathe. Tho
patient must keep the window Of his bedroom
open. Night air 10 fresh air without daylight

ly." By taking these precautions and using
DR.. Piefce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, fully One-half OF
the cases of lung complaints would be cured
in six months. For cough and irritation OF

A New Incident In Dickens's Early ca.
reer.

There is . very attractive room at Fps.
witch, to wit: Mr.. Pickwick's room, at
the Great White Horse Hotel, the true
history of which is curious and hitherto
unpublished. When Charles Dickens
was . very young man, and unknown
to fame, he reported for the Morning
Chronicle-which journal lent the serv-
ices of the future novelist to the Suffolk
Chronicle on the occasion of the Suffolk
assize. Arriving at his destination, the
young pressman engaged the comforts
BILE best room of the hotel, the Great
White Horse.
But later in the day, As the influx of
visitors became great, the churlish land
lord, named Brooks-generally called
sold Billy Brooks''-who had small
respect for the press, and very limited
ideas Is to its power, surrendered Dick
ens's bedroom to some legal magnate,
assigning to "that newspaper fellow"
one far less roomy and comfortable, and
placed, in fact, Just over some stabling.
Dickens was naturally much annoyed,
but said little, biding' his time. When
" Pickwick" took the literary world by
storm, its ludicrous and scarcely exag-
gerated description of the White Horse,
"Where they sold the worst possible
wine at the best possible price," entire
ly altered Mr.. Brooks's notions as to
the power Of the pen, and much of his
later life was spent in ravipg about the
injury Dickens was doing him.
Not long Afterwards Brooks died, and
the hotel changed hands. But Is the
