How TO MAKE GOOD PERs1,1MoN
BEER.-Now is the time to make this
great Southern beverage, that is so
! healthful and harmless. 1t is worthy
of any ones attention. For five gal
Ions of beer get two gallons of nice ripe
pers;mmons (they ought to be stem
med, as The stems and burrs give it an
astringent taste,) and to those two gal
Ions of persimmons add four gallons OF
warm water, and to this add about one
pound of dried apples or peaches and a
few ripe locusts, if they are conven-
lent. Let it stand about one week in a
warm room or cellar, when it will be
ready for use. When used out add 4
few more persimmons and locusts and
fill with warm water again. 1t you
want to keep the persimmons until
spring, pick them clean and mix with
wheat bran and bake in large pones or
cakes, the same as light bread. When
YOU use this cake dissolve 1t in warm
water and add about two quarts New
Orleans syrup to five gallons, to start
fermentation. 1t is healthy and
harmless beverage.
SAVE YOUR CoTToN SEED.-A lead
ing exchange says: "Any intelligent
farmer in South Carolina, who would
| like to known what is the character and
aims of the American Cotton Seed Oil
Trust Company, can easily inform him
self by studying the history Of the STAN
dard Oil Company, which has been in
| existence only few years, but whose
president is now reckoned to be one
of the richest men in the United States.
It would be better to burn every pound
of cotton seed made in the South than
to support so unprincipled a monopoly
by selling to it at any price which it
would fix to be paid The farmers Of
Orangeburg for several years past have
been selling their cotton seed what they
supposed was a good profit. The above
extract shows what will be the end if
they continue to sell. 1t is simply a
money making scheme to buy the seed
of our farmers at little cost and enrich
the men who have a monopoly in the
oil business. Our farmers should con-
slider this fact.
No SUCH GOOD LUCK.-NVe clip the
following from the Clarendon Enter
prise: "The marriage epidemic is not
over with the "preSs gang" yet. Five
editors in this State have already during
the present year been inundated on
loves altar, and now Brother Sims, OF
THE ORANGEBURG TIMES AND DEMO
Graf, publicly announces in the last
issue of his paper, that ere many moons
wax and wane, he will go and do like
wise, and that all he wants is a little
time. These earthquakes must certain
ly have something to do with this mar
riage panic" No, Brother Nettles.
That was only a little joke of ours.
There is no such good luck in the near
future for us. Brother Holmes and
ourself will have to trod Oh alone, darn
ing our socks and musing on the might
have been."
