ROmarkablo Cotton Crops.

The newspapers are calling attention TO
the wonderful success of Mr.. ]. ]. Crumn'
whose farm Is near Aberdeen, Mics. He
has adopted o new process In cotton plant
ing, and the remarkable results which have
followed his experiments are attracting the
notice OF planters. In 1877 Mr.. Crump pro-
duced 1910 pounds OF ginned cotton to the
acre, 1000 pounds in 1878; and the pros-
poets this season point TO the heaviest Yield
he has ever obtained. The Aberdeen
lMiss.) Examiner gives the process. Mr..
Crump prepares his land in December by
digging holes three feet from each other.
eighteen inches square and eighteen inches
deep; these holes he fills with manure to
within four inches Of the top, and the re-
mainder OF the way with the top soil at
the usual season he plants with view to
having three stalks to hill, and piles the
clay from the bottoms of the pits as deep
over their tops as the supply will admit of,
With view to keeping down the grass. and
then cultivate5 with hand end hoe, meyer
allowing plough to be used. The prepa-
ration is made in December in order to cub
due the fiery qualities Of the fertilizer and
the holes when prepared will make at least
three crops without changing their contents
the second crop generally being tho best,
an and the first and third about the game.
This plan has gone beyond the sphere OF
experiment, and there is no longer neccssi.
ty for man to scrape over dozen acres
when he can obtain more cotton and better

A Suggestion.

Ma. EDIroR: There being no licenses taken
out for this year to retail liquors in the town
OF Anderson, we would make the suggestion
10 the Town Council that they take the mat

bar-room, the revenue of which to 20 into
the town treasury. In this way the entire
expense Of the town could be betrayed with.
out any levy OF taxes on the personal and
real estate for town purposes, and the sale
OF spirituous liquors could be better regula-
Ieq than under any previous arrangement.
We throw out this suggestion 10 uur Council
for what 1t is worth. CIrIZey.

The Oldest h8Wse in NJ adis0n.


In the year 1880 David Moore came
from Virginia and settled near where
Kingston now stands. He built a log
house to liv in, and that house is still
standing. His son, Levi Moore, was born
there in 1894 and died there in 1874. His
grandson, w. l.. Moore, is now living in
the house, and owns the farm, which has
been in the family and handed down
from f'ther to son for almost century.
In 1916 the house was plastered by James
and Turner Clark, and that plastering is
still in pretty good condition. The house
was weatherboarded the same year, and
painted red. That Notwithstanding is
sound to-day, and, although it has been
painted white (the first time in 1s45) a
number of times, the old red paint crops
out occasionally, when the white becomes
the least worn. In those days there were
no saw-mills, and the boards in question
were split out with fro and shaved with
drawing-knite. They show six inches
wide and four feet long. This house and
farm are to be sold in a few days, and
would seem that to part with such old
friends Of the family would be the occa-
sion Of deep regret.

Everybody in Great Britain clearly
has not been losing money of late. When
Mr.. James Shaw, Of Leadenhaf street,
bought the great iron and copper estab-
lishment of the Governor & Company of
Copper Miners at Cwm-Ayon, in South
Wales, in April, 1877, he took as part
ners Mr.. james Spence, of Liverpool, and
Mr.. John Dixon, who at first suggested
to the editor of this journal the leasibili-
ty of securing the great obelisk of Alex
andria for New York. This partnership
has just been dissolved by Mr.. Shaw buy
ing out these gentlemen, who have re-
ceived within little over two years no
less a sum than $38, 500 over and above
the capital they embarked. The busi-
ness has been entirely managed by Mr..
Shaw, his two partners never having oc-
casion to spend ten days at the works.
Complaints of the iron trade have no rea-
son to be made by these gentlemen.-[N.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Horrible Fate Of q Female Tramp and
Her Child.

Special to the Star.
MUNFoRDsvILLE, KY, Sept. 29-Advices
from Bacon Creek, in this county, tell of
the sickening and horrible death of fe-
male tramp and her daughter yesterday
morning.
The poor woman, whose name was Strick-
ler aged about As, with her little ten-year-
old daughter and son still younger,
encamped at the roadside, where they
built fire under the branch Of tree.
As the chilly morning approached they
crept nearer the fire to keep warm, and
while asleep their clothing caught and
they awoke in flames. The little girl was
burned to death at once and the poor moth
er so horribly burned that she soon died,
her limbs being burned to a crisp. The
homeless wanderers were travelling south,
with no particular destination.
