Finding Daughter of Whose Existence

A strange, romantic story comes from
Spartanburg. A few days ago there arrived
D. c., a fne-looking old man about seventy
years of age. The object of his visit was to
find Mrs. Cook, the wife of an extremely
poor farmer residing in a remote corner Of
Spartanburg County. She was the daugh-
ter of DR.. Mitchell, although he has never
seen her or even heard Of her birth till re-
Gently, and she Is now forty years of age.
His story is as follows: Out in Tennessee,
about the time of the Mexican war, he
married a beautiful young woman
Of good family. For some reason
or other her parents opposed the
match, and they made it so unpleas-
regiment for Mexico and see if he could not
find peace in the army of invasion. Before
the troops were disbanded be heard of the
death of his wife, but he did not hear that
au infant was born in her last Illness which
survived. Knowing nothing of this event
he did not return to Tennessee, but all these
years have been spent in other places.
Some time ago he saw notice in some
paper coming from one who claimed to be
his daughter. AT first he dismissed the sub
ject as a singular coincidence and moth
ing more. After time-the matter work
ing on his mind-he began a correspond

daughter He came on to Spartanburg.

UNIVERSAL ECZEMA.
The Terrible Sufferings of a Man Living al
Penn Yam, n. Y.

/ tElmira Special N. Y. Tmes.1
A very peculiar case came to the notes
of the people of Penn Yam some time ago,
and its progress has been watched by the
medical profession with the greatest inter
est. Perry Danes, a respected citizen of
the village suddenly became afflicted with
singular disease. The first symptom was
peculiar itching of the skin over the en-,
tire body. This continued for several
months, and the torture he endured was
indescribable. During this time the skin
was gradually thickened The color was
lurid red, and burning sensation per-
vaded the entire body. Many ply
sicians were consulted, none of whom
was able TO diagnose the disease
or afford any relief to the sufferer.
After a time the skin became thick
and leathery, perfectly dry and covered
with scales. Whenever the body was
brushed white scales would fall in showers.
After the skin had thickened and become
perfectly parched and dry it began to form
in folds. Every part of the surface of the
body was thus affected. The face presented
terrible appearance. The eyes were
nearly closed from the excessive thickness
of the eyelids which lay in thick folds
The skin over the entire surface of the body
seemed TO be growing thicker and harsher
during this time. Mr. Danes suffered I'M
told agonies, and was told that his case was
hopeless and his time to live was short He
had lost ell faith in medicines, and was
anxious to have death relieve him from
his suffering. At the meeting of the
State homeopathic Society at Grove
Spring last fall he was examined by
the leading physicians of the State,
and so rare is the disease that few OF
them ever witnessed or heard of similar
case. Two of them pronounced it we'll .
defined case of universal eczema. and Mr.. .
Danes at once placed himself under their
treatment. For long time no change was
apparent. The scales that fell from his
body increased. and hundreds of people
who had heard of the strange case came TO
see him. His skin presented very much the
appearance of an elephants hide. His
nights were spent in bathing and rubbing
his body, and he had become nearly insane
from long suffering and want of sleep.
About six months ago he began TO improve
slowly. The shower OF scales leSsened the
thlckening of the skin was arrested and the
deep and painful folds began to disappear
Although not yet well he is comparatively
comfortable and is thought TO be in fair
way TO recovery.

Corn shelters are far better than a rough

Reapers and mowers and horse rakes are

Diversified Farming at tie south.

The New York World says that in no
section Of the country has there been within
few years more noticeable change in the
methods Of its agriculture than is now in
progress in the south. Formally all the
energies Of the planting community were
directed to the production of the two great
staples, cotton and sugar, mainly the
former, and all the requisites and supplies
were purchased outright from abroad and
had to be paid for from the crop.
That such system was an unwise one
goes without saying. especially for states SO
well adapted to the production of every
thing needful for the sustenance of their in
habitants and animals, and in which all
was hazarded on the success of a single
crop. 1t is gratifying to note the advance
which has already been made in this direc-
ton, and to know that it is constantly being
encouraged and its necessity urged by in
telligent writers and observers throughout
the southern states.
Mr.. Henderson, the agricultural commits
sioner of Georgia, has told the farmers of
his state that the practice of devoting all
their energies to the production Of single
crop-cotton-while all others have been
considered as merely subsidiary. is an unwise
and ruinous policy. He is quite confident
that they cannot permanently improve their
lands without increasing the area in food
crops and pastures for stock, and in giving
more attention to the growing and fatten-
ing of stock, and raising horses and mu,e
as we'll as mich cows, hogs, poultry. etc.
Rotation of crops tends naturally to in
tensive farming. In fact, it is an essential
part of such system, applied to general
farming. Too many successful illustrations
of intensive farming may be noticed
especially in the neighborhood of large cities,
cities, to admit of any doubt its superiority
when its results are compared with those of
the system that has SO long prevailed Di-
versity of crops should always be feature
in agriculture, and while farmer ought
not to undertake to raise everything that
he may by possibility produce on his farm
he should cease to rely on one crop alone.
At the very least the farmers Of Georgia
should produce all the corn and oats, farm
horses and mules, beef, milk and butter,
bacon, flour, poultry, eggs, mutton and
wool, fruits and vegetables required for use
| and consumption in their state.
Another important item is the adoption
and use of the very best implements for do
! ing the work of the farm. also the selection
and planting of the most prolific varieties
of farm plants adapted to their section.
Here it may be well to say that the practice
of depending almost wholly on what are
called the staple crops is also far less COM
mon in the north than formerly, and that
the culture of fruits and vegetables for
marketing in cities has become an impor tant
| and profitable feature in northern agricul-
ture. Diversified farming has come to sta y,
and it may be added that the advice to
southern farmers 'to pay as they go" should
| have equal heed by their northern brethren.
