few years come to the front as one Of the
most progressive farmers Of his adopted
County,
. Our press broke down last week while
printing our papers, consequently we
were day later than usual In delivering
some of our papers. For awhile we

York to get the press repaired, but Dr..

Time and again we have urged the or.
paniyation of 8 Society in this city for the
prevention of cruelty to animals. A per-
son. can go on our streets almost any
iIay and see dumb brutes cruelty treated.
There is a law to prevent such treatment,
and II we had an organized society the
law could be enforced and the inhuman
person prosecuted. Let an effort be made
at once to organize the Society.

There came near being Jail delivery
on Monday night, but the watchfolL eye o1
+ Deputy Sheriff Green discovered 1t In
time to prevent the escape. Monday
afternoon Doc. Jones, colored, was sen.
fenced to eighteen months imprisonment
in the Penitentiary, and when he was car;
ried pack to the Jail from the Court
House, Mr.. Green noticed that there was
something wrong in Jones' cell. He al
once made an investigation, and discov.
cred that Jones had removed large
number Of brick from the wall, and in q
short time would have liberated himsel
from the prison. Jones, by some means
had secured an old pocket knife, with
which he had priced the brick from the
wall, and during the day he would hide
the brick under his blanket. Jones is az
escaped convict from the Penitentiary
having been sent from Abbevilse County
last Summer. He says he will never servI
his term out. Sheriff Bolt has chained
him down, and will keep him 80 until ht
is delivered to the Peuitentiary' officials
Last Saturday, in company with Mr.
Thos. NJ. White, we spent portion of tht
afternoon very pleasantly looking ovel
his vineyard, which is situated near the
northwestern limits of the city. Mr.
White has about 5000 vines growing
now, about 1900 of which will bear frui
this year. It Is certainly treat to 60 on
and view this vineyard. The vines arr
heavily loaded, and the yield promises tt
be very large this year. The crop is no
yet affected by the rot. We sew only
few rotten grapes, and Mr.. White thinks
the crop is safe. He says If vineyard j!
kept well drained, and the water moi
allowed to stand near the vines, there i
not much danger of the grapes. rottening
he ssys, also, that the ground should no
be too rich. As fertilizer he uses LITTLE
lime or ashes, and uses that only around {
vine that he sees Ia not growing as rapidly
as the others around it. Mr.. White II
we'll posted in grape culture, and says ht
learns scrnething new by experimenting
every year. His vines are Of the Concord
variety, which, he says, is the best grape
for this section.
