hear Sherman talking about the old
flag because a parcel of boys who
went to New York on picnic hap
pened not to have a national flag. The
people OF South Carolina attempted a
departure in 1861, it is true, but they
have right to be back in the Union
which they fought for-and fought
against, it is true-and for which
they have now as great a love and 10y
alty-yes, and perhaps greater
than Sherman or any Of his ilk. South
Carolinians fought for the Union in
1776, and in 1912 and 1S4S, and on
other occasions, and they didn't need
the Stars and Stripes to stir up their
courage, either. They we're beaten
in 1876, and were men enough to
own up to it. If their services are
needed to defend the Union, which
their ancestors helped to form, you'll
find them in the front rank, even
though they don't happen to have the
national colors pinned to their coats.
The proof Of the pudding is always
in the eating. We upheld the nation
al honor at Fort Moultrie in l776 and
<2Nexico in 1S4S, and on a good
maSber occasions, without having
the Stafs<ed Stripes to keep up our
courage, and@ reckon if the pinch

agree with Mr.. Douglass that red clo-
yer is the best green plant to improve the
soil known. But there is no similarity
whatever between clover and crab grass.
Clover roots run very deep-I haveknown
them to run down four feet deep-and as
a consequence they bring up from great
depth an element of plant food no other
plant can do, hence it's value; while crab
grass has simply surface roots and uses
as food only that which it finds near the
surface.
AS to shading the ground, of which Mr..
Douglass speaks as being benefit, free
ly admit, but in an old orange grove
and it is that kind of grove had in mind
when | first wrote-the trees shade the
ground a part Of the day almost all over.
One thing more have been looking for
in Mr.. Douglass article, which [ do not
find, and that is how he would compen-
safe the tree for the great slaughter of
roots from the frequent plOWings OF a
grove of large trees, where the entire sur
face of the ground is literally filled with
fine fibrous roots. | admit that he has
some argument when it is young grove
just planted. But what led me to the dis
cussion of this matter was the practice
during the last season of some of the
''grove tenders" of letting the grass grow
in groves ten to fifteen years old until it
covered the ground, especially where fer
tilizer had been applied, and became so
long and thick that a plow would not
cover it, and then go into the grove with
plOw and tear and cut roots of the trees
as well as the roots of the grass. During
the dry weather in May last | saw an old
grove Etreated' that way, and it was
nearly ruined by it,
In conclusion [ will only add that / am
still open to conviction as before, and
with all due regard for the opinions of
those who may disagree with me, | simply

cussion except that believe it one Of the
important points that ought to be set

Mr.. Mann on Clean Culture,

tOber find two letters in reply to mine
relative to ''Clean VS.. Green Culture for
Orange Groves" ! am thankful to the
gentlemen for the points they make in
their arguments, as that was what [
sought to draw out by my first letter.
am also pleased to find Mr.. L. ID. Jack
son SO nearly agreeing with the view 1
had taken, and see but one point that |
would reply to, for the sake of "more
light"
He says: 'sObservation has taught me
that soils wholly denuded of vegetation
and exposed to sun, air and rain lose very
much of the power to grow and fully de-
velop vegetation"
70 this would not entirely disagree,
if that soil was left undisturbed, packed
and hard. But my idea of clean culture
is that it must be made clean by frequent
STRINGS, and l have found by observa-
ton that, in a dry time, if the soil is fre-
quently cultivated, so as to throw up
fresh soil, which is much cooler than the
atmosphere, the moisture in the atmos-
phere is rapidly condensed, so that much
moisture is added to the soil. | have, in
the North, carried corn crop through
long drouth in this way, many times
with little apparent damage. The am
monia escaping from all decaying vegeta-
BILE matter is carried back to the soil by
dew and rain, as also by the condensing
above referred to.
Mr.. VIM. Y. Douglass, am not wholly
convinced yet from the argument he ad-
vances, and with a desire purely to gain
information Twill reply to some points he
makes, hoping he will as kindly correct
me again, il he sees my error. He and |
agree as to the meaning of the term
'clean culture" viz: of allowing nothing
to grow in grove but the trees. | am
hardly willing to accept his illustra ton
of constantly turning a manure heap,'
for there is marked difference between
that and our sandy SOIL One is in
state of fermentation and is Warm-al-
most hot-so that evaporation is very
rapid, while the soil is cooler than the at
mOsphere, as | have just remarked above,
SO that when freshly stirred it attracts to
itself and condenses the atmospheric
moisture, instead of losing it by evapora-
ton. The actual surface of the soil is only
as warm as the air.
Again, AIN not quite ready to take
another illustration of his in the two
pieces of land-onecons stirred and
no crop allowed to grow upon it, while
the other is having a crop of crab grass
or cow peas turned under for the five
years, for it does not appear quite reIe.
vent.
can readily see that five good crops
of green vegetation turned under in sue
cessiOn would be great benefit to any
land In my former letter | did not claim
no virtue in green manure when turned
under, but my objection was in most cases
that have seen, it is not turned under at
all scarcely. am, however, willing to
risk the assertion that | would prefer to
have piece of land constantly stirred all
through the growing season and kept
clean than to have it lie idle, with no cul-
tivation whatever so far as the addition
of ammonia is concerned, if we are to de-

Governor Foraker Will Meet Governor

Governor j. 3. Foraker of Ohio. passed
through Pittsburg en- route to the East last
night The Governor remained in his car dur
ing the stop at the Union depot, and was in
accessible to newspaper men. His destination
even is unknown, but it is presumed that he
would stop at Johnstown to see the work of de-
vastation. From a gentleman who came on
the train with the Governor. it was ascerrained
that Foraker was deeply concerned regarding
the flood, and expressed the deepest sympathy
with the residents of Johnstown. His idea it
is said, in not awaiting a lengthy correspon-
dence between himself and Governor Beaver
was simply that red tape aud time were not to
be considered. Tents and assistance were
needed, and although abused at times for his
radicaltsm. when the opportunity for helping
human kind presented itself, Governor Fora
ker was there.

last night stated that Governor Beaver would
reach that place to-day. It is supposed Gov

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

Only n Slim Audience to Hear the Last
Speech of the Campaign.
The final, and what was intended to be a
triumphant assemblage of the friends of the
amendment held at the Opera House last
night, was in every respect, dire failure.
When at 7;50 the Moorhead choir, of the W. c.
7. Union No. 2, opened the proceedings by
singing in excellent manner the glee ''One
More River to Cross" The expectation of the
some 200 people who were then present, was
toward an oratorical display of more than
usual interest. The placards announcing
that Mr.. E. b. Dougherty, THE silver-tongued
Irish orator. would speak in favor of the
amendment, led many persons to suppose that
they should hear the original silver-ton gued
Dan Dougherty, of Philadelphia, but they were
doomed to disappointment,w when County Chair
man Joseph d. Weeks advanced, and being
prompted by that gentleman as to his antece-
dents introduced the speaker of the evening
as Mr.. E. B. Dougherty. of Beaver, Pa, "a
gentleman who is an Irishman, he said, ''or
better still, the son of an Irishman." and who
would address the meeting.
Mr.. Dougherty on coming forward said that
in announcing this meeting that in some way
or other names had gotten mixed. that the
silver-tongued orator was not present, and that
he himself was not an orator, nothing but
plain lawyer. Proceeding in his speech, which
lasted an hour and twenty-five minutes, the
speaker said he would speak eXtemporaneously
and give them facts and figures. In searching
for these, chiefly In support of his argument
that hotels need not necessarily have saloons
attached, Mr.. Dougherty travelled, in his ad-
dress, over good portion of Europe, elaborat-
ing his speech with poetical allusions. The
gist of his speech was to the effect, that if
liquor selling was respectable business, why
should man require to be of good moral
character to engage in it. 1t was not so with
other businesses, in which men could engage
without inquiry; that high license had been
obtained and was proved a failure, and that no
attention should be paid to the utterances of
the whisky press which were supported by the
money wrung from wretched homes.
