Bowling to the Inevitable.

The Caristian Commonwealth has q
timely article on Making the best Of the
Inevitable" What the inevitable is may
be defined az evil that can not be avoided
The msrred fortunes that can never be
mended, the impaired constitution that
can never be made strong again,
the lost life of our beloved that can
never be restored. Under such expert.
ences there can be no way Of endurance
equal to that Of being assured that God
Is slove snd Of being fully perspaded that
no natural evil lies outside of His will.
The duty of submission to the divine
will. Is imperative, but We can only rec:
ognize It when we arc made to see and
feel that our own preferences are In con.
fict with Gods plans. When this IL
once made clear, there Is no alternative
left US but to bow to the inevitable and
TO seek comfort In the confidence that oil
that occuYa Is wisely and lovingly ordered
by our Heavenly Father. "In trying 70

COTTON CULTURE.
a arsenvlllo County rarmor.s Exper,op,

Editor Enterprise and Mountaineer.
see you have opened a space in yuu,
paper for the farmers to give their expe
| rience In he cultivation of cotton, corn,
small grain, etc.
will give my experience in the cult
vation Of cotton by checking aud plant
ing in the hill. Several farmers have
asked me to do SO, and will avail myself
Of your offer.
The frat item of note in the hill plan
Ia the cheapness Of cultivation with the
hoe. You can make crop this way and
save at least three fnurlhs of the hoeing.
The second item of note la, IL will
stand drought twenty per cent. better
than the drill cotton and will make more
a dry year or wet. The bolls grow much
larger and the stalks have more ON them
TO the square foot of ground in cultivn
ton. The iint will be longer. ! ea,i
mate that check cotton will make Mt least
twenty-five per cent. more than cotton
10 a dry season, on the same kind of
land.
A large hnll variety Is better for
checking and planting 10 Hill than the
small boil varieties. You want cotton
TINT will apread aud fill up the space
between Hills.
My plan for preparing and fixing up
the hills is m follows: IF land 10 rich.
lay of rows four feet each way with
good shovel pillow, put hand full of
compost or other manure in checks.
working well in ground with shovel.
spade or fork; then take q common
twister plow and list on il going the
opposite way from which land was brok-
en-. then take hoe and go across the
list, following the furrow that was not
listed and dig hole as deep as l wan.
to cover the seed In checks, and drop
from six 60 ten seed in u hill, as much in
bunch az possible, covering tho seed
about three inches deep. II is best to
press on the hill with the hoe after the
seed is covered.
For thin or poorer land check three
by TWO feet and drill.in the manure, and
list and plant in the same way.
The cotton where II comes up is on n
small ridge and can be run around very
close In the list burrows. Break the balks
out at leisure.
| have left one and two stalks in the
hill. think one stalk IL the best for n
large boil variety. Two are better of
the common cotton.
Ar there nre various opinions on deep
and shallow cultivation, I will give my
experience. The first working plow az
deep as pussible with II cutter pinw. The
balance of the plnwings as shallow as
can well be done-prefer double foot.
The amount OF seed it requires per
acre is one peek Of the large boil variety.
There are 1900 hills to tho acre and
about $500 seed TO the peck-giving ten
seed to the hill--so ono good peck will
plant Ill acre three by three feet.

Sine Jan. l, this additional tax has
been I'd upon dealers, and, rather than
pay it nine.tenths Of them, It Ia said,

,ous articles. The effect of the tax is to
limit the places whore arms can be pur.
chased to few popnlous points. and
those who already own pistols cannot
renew their supply of cartridges without
sending 10 the cities for them, as she
dealers In small towns would not cell
enough In year to PGy for the license.
The law already amounts to q prohibition,
SO far as the ANAL dealers are come .ied.
and IL 10 probable that the uext step will
be to extend its provisions 80 as to reach
the larger dealers. 81 ,E5sI /,
The good example of Georgia should

WAKULLA's PICNIC.

An Enjoyable Day Beside Ponce de
Icons Famous Spring of Eternal
Youth.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, May 3.-From the
time whereof the memory of the present
generation runneth not to the contrary
the citizens of Wakulla county have as
sembled on the first Saturday IN each MAY
at the famous Wakulla spring, when
they spend the day in amusements of
different kinds and satisfy the "inner
man" with sumptuOus supplies of fish,
game, etc. This spring is situated about
16 miles south of Tallahassee and is fre-
quently visited by pleasure seekers, who
delight to gaze upon this truly wonder
full sheet OF water.
The spring proper is a body of water
about an acre in extent, which flows from
a rock over 100 feet below the surface,
but is so clear that coins or any small
object can be seen al the bottom, which is
covered with beautiful stones. shells and
vegetable matter. This is said to be the
tabled fountain Of youth sought by
De Leon. 1t is not claimed, however,
that it contains properties which promote
Immortality, but it certainly is a re-
markable and beautiful freak Of nature.
