ROTATION OF CROPS.

BY scientific rotation OF crops our
farms may bo continually improved and
farming be made n pleasant and profitable
occupation, While travelling over our own
county am glad to find that few thought
full and energetic farmers are perceiving that
scientific rotation Of crops may be made
fAf more profitable than without regard to
rotation. verify believe that the pea, cor
rectly used as a renovator aud fertilizer Of
our farne, is much more profitable than our
commercial fertilizers. The following is the
rotation adopted by one Of the Ssst farmers
Of our county on his farm which is mostly
upland:
First year, cotton; 81 year, o,rn, run
niog rows feet apart with row of pe,s
between; 3d year, wheat or oats, followed
with peas on stubble then cotton again.
This rotation gives four crops every three
years. His reasons for this rotation are
apparent on reflection to every scientific
fsrmer. Corn and peas are easily rroduc-
cd after cotton. the pes.vine being the best
Of fertilizers. This corn crop may be follow.
ed BY small grain before winter, which is
not the csso with cotton crop. Then the
wheat or oats, supplemented with peas,
leaves the soil we'll fertilized for cotton again
The red cat and the pea are the salvation
for our farms, and IL we will trust in them
and use them, instead Of these thousand and
one brands of light weighted and bogus,
commercial fertilizers, that laugh at our
calamity aud meek when payday oometh,
then these worn hills Of our dear old South
land, would rise up at all times and bless us
with abundant harycsts.

AROUND KELT0N,

MIR. EDIroR.-Our Alliance at present has
. membership of l27 members, and is in
excellent working order. or course there
are some that do net work rs we'll as they
should iu the Alliance harness, but We are
trying TO help them in every way TO become
true Pullers, and then il We can't, we will
let them kick loose and jump back into the
big road and cat the poverty grass ON the
highway to bondage.
We are not going to use trust jute bag
ging, neither will we use the 16 cts. cotton
tagging, as that seems also to DO under q
trust; yet we will abide the decision of
tho County Alliance, aud We know it will
not say use either Of the above kinds of
bagging.
We have the finest cotton crops in this
section that We have had in many years,
but fear that the continued rains will ipjure
1t to a certain extent.
The Tillmanites are go thick around Kel-
ton that you cannot stir them with stick,
and with the exception of . few anti-Til.
8 mfpitcs, rEbo wes think. are blind to their
own interest or are working in the interes st
OF others, We arc solid section for Tillmau.
1t is reported by some, that the Relton
Alliance put DR.. r. Little In the field as a
candidate for the Legislature. and as am
Secretary Of that Alliance, aud have q right
10 know, will here state that the charge is
entirely false-an emphatic fa'sehood. 1 do
not deny that Alliance men may have and
did urge DR.. Little to run for the Legisls-
eire, but they did 1t as individuals and not
as an Alliance.
Messrs. VIM. Griffin and VIM. Faucet
furnished first-cass barbecue at Kelton
last Saturday. Everything passed off
quietly, and we listened to addresses from
Messrs. McKissick, Peake, Little, Morgan,
OTIS, and Miss Garner. All spoke In favor
Of retrenchment aud reform.

One word on your communication, Mr..
Secretary, wisl, to make. Tha Farmers
Alliance Of our great country can be, and
ought to be political, but never partisan -
Then, since dead limb on treo takes as
much vitality from the tree ss if It we're
alive, so a dead useless member Of any
Alliance should be cut loose from the ALI
sncc. Quality is ia, better than quantity.

shall apply, he said, the teaching of this text
first to ourselves as individuals. Sorrows
and sufferipgs are the lot of common human

this when conscious OF integrity and
Of misfortune is toward supreme
thought Of self and forgetfulnees
Of others. We naturally dwell upon our
own woes and hard experiences, planning
and scheming In every way to be rid OF
them, too much oblivious of what others
around us are suffering. Turn thy back
sometimes upon all efforts to lose your own
lot and busy thyself with thoughts and
plans and deeds for those around you. The
saddest life In all this world is the supremely
seeking life. The glsddest one is the self
forgetting one. I apply the teaching of the
text now to MS rs a church. We have reason
ON this fifth anniversary OF our union to be
profoundly thankful for the good way In
which the Lord has led us and for goodly
increase In the members he has granted us;
