A White Slave.

PRvArEER, SUMTER COUNTY, Sep. 28.
Last March mention was made in
this correspondence Of a white man
named Purvis Rogers who, before the
war, was sold in Sumter for vagrancy.
I learned recently that he died several
days ago in Clarendon county. Purvis
was quite character. At the time of
his death he was at least Is or so
years old. It is an historical fact that
there were white slaves in colonial
South Carolina, but Purvis Rogers is
the only authentic instance I know Of
where white man has been sold in
South Carolina since the Revolution.

M hIATARIA

Literally means bad air. Poisonous germs
arising from low, marshy land, or from de-
caying vegetable matter. are breathed into
the lungs, taken up by the blood, and unless
the vital fluid is purified by the use Of o
good medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
victim is soon overpowered. Even in the
more advanced cases, where the terrible, fe-
yer prevails, this successful medicine has
effected remarkable cures. Those who are
exposed to malarial or other poisons should
keep the blood pure by taking Hoods Sars-

Downfall Of 9 Minister.

Considerable scandal has been Gre
ated in Augusta Ga, by the proceed
ings of the Rev. ]. S. Meynardie, for
mer.y pastor of the Beresn Baptist
church Of that city, and q communing
member Of the Second Baptist
church.
Dir. Meynsrdie's conduct for a long
time has been unbecoming that Of q
minister of the gospel, and on Satur-
day he capped the climax by getting
on q royal tear, and fourishing six
shooter in defiance of lsw or authori-
ty. The matter was taken up by q
council of the different Baptist
churches in the city and the charges
of drunkenness, profanity and immor-
aity preferred against him.
Numerous members testified to
his intoxicated condition and profsne
language, while prominent member
of the congregation gave testimony
most damaging to his moral cha,ac-
ter.
The council, after hearing the evi-
dsnce, adopted resolution demand
ing his ordination papers from him;
and refusing him the fellowship of
the church till he should demonstrate
that he had reformed.
Neynsrdie will be well remember
ed as the leader of the labor move
ment during the strikes several years
ago; and IS the Augusta delegate who
became nprosriously drunk in Knights
Of Labor Hall in Richmond, where he
went ss delegate.
He is son of Rev. E. J. Meynardie
Of the South CaroGns Conference.

One Of our exchanges says it has
good reason after Investigating refer

advertisement is bogus. If reference
is made to q three square advertise
ment in this paper We will state that
one OF the largest N. Y. papers, in an
swes to an inquiry from US before we
inserted the advertisement, stated
that the concern had always paid

the standing of unknown sdvertis-
err We may get left this time, but
We believe the concern to be all right.

there were 725 removals, 1853 resigna-

administration, from March 20 until
May I, there were 1924 dismissals and
210 designations in the postal railway

How the Farmers Sell Cotton at Magnolia.

MAGNOLIA, SUMTER COUNTY, Sept.
26.-Our town has been the scene OF
q busy, bustling day, from early this
morning until late this afternoon. To-
day was the time appointed by the
Alliances OF Lynchburg, Shiloh, Nor

to sell their cotton in bulk. The early
rising sun witnessed a continual In

With the Alliances of eastern
ii County. Mr.. McSween's buy
nad scarcely landed before he
popped tha- 6gpneess-sarEprto0 to 1920; but
Messfs. Mallard & Griffin determined
not to be frozen out, and sang the
beautiful song of 1925 to 1888, much
to the delight of ye sturdy farmers.
Determined, too, not to be outdone,
Mr.. G. E. Timmons, a local merchant
and buyer, stepped upon the scene"
and made things lively, not only for
the buyers, but the farmers as well.
The greater portion OF the cotton was
packed in iute bagging, owing to the
inability OF the Alliance men to get
the cotton bagging.
The farmers are jubilant, and claim
that they have won victory of un-
measured Importance. The Tim
monsville buyer, though he did not
succeed in buying a single bale, is
given credit in part for having excited
the local buyers into higher prices.
Mr.. G. E. Timmons bought ffty-bales,
and Messrs. Mallard & Griffin thirty
five.

Corn well put in the ground and
well titled will mature crop on
less moisture than any other crop.
The effect of fertilizers on the
soil does not depend entirely upon
the amount of available plant food
provided, but to the chemical ac-
ton upon substances already ex-
isting in the soil.
Barnyard manure has its disad-
vantages, it always contains the
seeds of weeds, which often give
much trouble. We do all we can
to extirpate them aud then SOW a
fresh crop of weeds whenever We
apply barnyard manure.
1t is, says an exchange, by no
means settled question whether
red clover is not q better subsoiler
than any pillow that was ever in
vented. Its long roots penetrate
the soil much deeper, and dying,
as they do, the second year, they
not only open up the soil more
effectually to the influence of the
sun and air, but by their decay
serve to enrich it as we'll.
When q tree is to be transplant
ed, never leave moro branches than
are wanted for mains, four or Eve
at most; never grow mass of un-
necessary limbs to be crowding,
which must be cut out afterward,
much to the injury of the tree; re-
move them from the head at first.

Our Louisiana Wonder Land.

The flush times that are being
experienced in business circles
throughout Louisiana within the
past few weeks is matter of as
constituent to persons who have
been familiar for the past few
months to the wall of discomfort
and distress in these very same
circles. We are told that the ship
ment of cotton from the city of
New Orleans on last Monday was
the largest shipment on record,
that the amount of actual money
now in that city for the handling
of the present crop is $4,445,OO0
in currency and S650,OO0 in gold,
and that the number of bales re-
ceived since Sept. lst up to this
date exceeds the receipts for last
year within the same period by
155,510 bales. Of course these
liberal receipts have had tenden-
cy to lower the price Of cotton, but
still the staple rules at a pretty
fair figure, and the knowing ones
hold that it will rise to higher
price at an early day. Now, taking
into consideration that the whole
country has made only fair aver
age crop, the bouyancy of the
farmers and business men felt and
and exhibited in all the borders of
Louisiana, is matter of wonder
ment 10 those who do not under
stand and appreciate the recupera-
tive powers at the command of the
Louisiana people. In no other
State in the Union can the people
hope to pay up back debts and meet
current obligations out of the same
crop. STILL this very thing Is done
in Louisiana, and is such common
condition of affairs that shrewd
business men look for and expect
nothing else, every few years at
the worst, and make their calcula-
tons accordingly. So great are
our recuperating capabilities known
to be that one or two short crops
in no wise dampens the expecta-
tons Of long-headed investors; and
their faith is seldom disappointed
This season the rebound is felt and
manifested on all sides. and the
evident signs of prosperity and con-
tentment everywhere shown can
but be remarkable phenomenon
to Northern people who may be
making Investigations within our
| borders.

The indictment for embezzle-

no wise abated the interest in the
great bond fraud, and many in
teresting comments and specula-
tons are indulged in as to why he
took the money and what he did
with it. The fact that he neither
gambled, drank nor speculated, has
not used it in investments, and
never paid out much money in
political campaigns, renders it a
difficult problem to solve.
