Grover and the Baby.

NEW YORK, October "a daughter was
born to Mrs. Grover Cleveland shortly
after midnight. The mother and daugh-
ter are doing well.
Tho important news did not become
known down town until nearly noon.
Then it spread with the utmost rapidity,
both in the city and to other parts of the
country. During tho afternoon many
flowers were sent into Mrs. Cleveland
and both father and mother received
hearty congratulations. Then messenger
boys began to move up the avenue with
telegraphic messages from all parts of the
country. Ex-President Cleveland was
evidently q pleased man when seen about
the recent addition to his household. He
received the press representatives in the
drawing room, and anticipating the ques-
ton that wou Id be asked him, said: Eyes,
it is true. My wife was safely delivered
of littlo girl this morning at six minutes
past midnight and both mother and child
are doing splendidly. Mrs. Cleveland
has rested quietly all day. The child is
strong and healthy and at Its birth
weighed eight pounds
The ex-President is quoted as saying
81 don't want to brag any, but this baby
now is as stout and as good as most babies
are when they are three or four days

Mr.. Simpson Says the Alliance Is
Steadily Increasing.

TOPEKA, KAN, Oct. 2-Jerry Simpson
Bays that the Alliance vote among the far
)mers in Kansas is increasing, but slowly,
Since last year. The principal gains have
been in the cities and towns where the
Bcitizens' alliance has been at work this
|year. He estimates the increase at 20 per
cent. over last year.
Speaking of the negroes in the south he
said:
"They are fiocking to us in the South.
(I believe that this movement is the solu-
|tion of the race problem. 1t divides the
3colored as we'll as the white vote Of the
South. If it does nothing else it will do
THAT much good at least. The old fight
between the blacks and whites will be
broken; the blacks will take issue with
leach other in politics the same as the
whites. That's what they ought to do.
The lines are closer drawn in the south
than here. Everything divides on the
1sub-treasury scheme. 1t is either endors-
ed or opposed by every man in the SOUTH
CHOW many members has the alliance
in the United States ?"
"In thirty eight States and territories
we have 4,0OO, 900 members"
"And do you expect to have national
ticket in '92. Who will head it?"
80, Lord, don't kIow. Some farmer
now unheard of may spring up and
prove himself the right man for the place.

Bitten by q Kitten.

4 CAMJEN, n. j., October Mrs. Geo.
Bigler, wife of well-known organist,
nd former compositor on Philadelphia
horning paper, came near dying from
bckjsw, caused by the bite of cat. She
not yet entirely out of danger and has
Enffered untold agony.
: Mrs. Bigler was playing with small
9itten on August II, and one of its tiny
beth was fastened in the forefinger Of her
kgbt hand. AS the wound was but
mall one and healed very rapidly Mrs.
tigler thought nothing about it, but went
|n with her household duties.
In about four weeks, however, symp-
bins of blood poisoning set in and Mrs.
Sipler's finger and hand became swollen
md infiamed. She consulted DR.. T. G.
Robinson, and was at first unable to ac-
yount for the trouble. Then she happen
Ia to think of the cat bite, and when she
|uggesed that as a cause, DIR. Robin
lon was alarmed and ordered Mrs. Big
1er home and began assidious efforts to
6rrest the disease, which had already as
Iumed threatening aspect.
Mrs. Bigler's hand and arm swelled
Fapidly, in spite of the vigorous efforts Of
her physician. The inflammation was

Sam Jones Summoned before q Grand
Jury.

A dispatch from Rome, Ga, September
10Th, says: "Two subp9nas calling upon
the Rev. Jones and Sam Small to appear
before the grand jury now,in session for
Floyd County were issued to-day or yes
terday. Judge Maddox in his charge
suggested that any one who knew so
much as Sam Jones might impart his
knowledge to the jury. The jury took
him at his word and the two Sans must
appear. That the source of Mr.. Jones
information may not be wanting several
of the leading members of the Methodist
Church from whom it is supposed the
evangelist obtained it are also subpened
to appear. 1t will be lively time. Those
whose ways are dark and whose deeds are
evil may well tremble at the prospect. If
all the charges brought by Sam Jones
during his last stay in Rome are true then
Floyd County must rent houses for Grim
inals. Whether Sam Jones knows or
guesses at what he says, is what the jury
intends to find out"

How to Get Rich.

"The way to get rich," says an editor
whose mind scars beyond the brink of
eternity, "is to trust nobody, befriend
none, get all you can and save all you
get; to stint yourself and everything that
belongs to you and to be the friend of no
man and have no man for your friend /;
to heap interest, cent upon cent, to be
mean, miserable and despised for some
twenty or thirty years and riches will
come as sure as disease, disappointment
and death. And when pretty nearly
enough wealth is collected by disregard
of all charities of the human heart, and
at the expense of every enjoyment, death
will finish the work-the body is buried,
the heirs dance and fight over what you
have left, and the spirit will go-where ?
BY all means get rich, it will pay-tbe

Manure from Heaven.

The following interesting statement
appears in an article from the pen of the
Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt, professor of agri-
culture at Athens, in the September Cal-
tivator:
"The rain-water of our cline is highly
fertilized with ammonia, and if held by
deep plowiug and level culture, very rap.
idly adds to the fertility of the soil. Our
water is said to contain three per cent. of
ammonia. This means about three tons
of ammonia per acre for every inch of
rainfall. How important then to store
away and keep from wasting this element
of fertility. By preventing washing,
holding what we have and adding there
to by holding the rain, we can enrich the
poor soil and make rich the richer soil" "

Modern Science.

Modern science has brought the cork
leg to state of perfection which renders
it almost impossible for the casual obser.
yer to detect the difference between the
real and.the artificial. There was an em.
inent sergeant-at-law some years ago
who had a cork-leg that was a triumph
of artistic deception. None but his in
innate friends knew for certain which
was the sham limb. "A wild young wsg
of the "utter bar" who knew the SER
geant pretty we'll, once thought to utilize
this knowledge to the sergeant's secret to
take in a green, newly hedged young
barrister. The sergeant was addressing
a special jury at Westminster in his US
ual earnest and vehement style, and the
wag whispered to his neighbor, "You see
how hot old Buzfuz is over his case, now
I'll bet you sovereign I'll run this pin
into his leg up to the head, and he will
never notice it, he's 40 absorbed in his
case. He's most extraordinary man in
that way" This was more than the
greenhorn could swallow, 80 he took the
bet. The wag drew large pin from his
waistcoat, and leaning forward, drove it
up to the head in the sergeant's leg. A
veil that froZe the blood of all who heard
it, that made the hair Of the jury stand
on end, and caused the judges wig to al.
most fall of, rang through the court.
"By Jove it's the wrong leg and I've
lost my money" exclaimed the dismayed
and conscience stricken wag, quite re-
gardless of the pain be had inflicted up
on the learned sergeant.

He Talked Too Much.

A certain well-known physician of the
South side, says the st. Louis Republic,
was the victim Of his own "previousness'
the other day. He had successfully treat
ed a wealthy lady's daughter for diphthe.
ria, and the lady was extremely grateful
for it. When the child was thoroughly
we'll mothe and daughter appeared at the
physicians office. The little girl shyly
handed the physician neat little knit
purse, while the lady went on to say,
"For having saved my child, doctor, 1
want to present you with this purse"
"But," said the physician, after an en-
barassing pause, ~ have sent you bill
for $780,
The lady flushed, then said quietly,
:'Let me have the purse, please"
She took two 500 bills out of it and re-
turned it to him with the remark: "There
are $500 in there now, so your bill is
paid" and left the room.
Now the doctor is cursing his clumsy
tongue for the bad break it made. That
little speech cost him just 5000.

Twelve Acres to the Mule.

UNION, S. c., Oct. "a meeting of the
last Saturday at Carlisle. A good num-
ber of farmers were present, both white
and black. The object of the meeting
was general discussion of the "ten-acres-
in-cotton plan" The meeting was a
GOOD one and full Of interest. J. G. Rice
was elected chairman and spirited dis
cussion for and against the ten-acre plan
ensued. It was very apparent that every
one was in favor Of decreasing the acre
age in cotton and increasing that ofgrain.
The only point of discussion was the
number ofacres that it would be best to
cultivate. Twelve acres was finally agreed
on; every member pledging himself
not to plant over that amount, in cotton,
to the plow, next year.-Correpondence

Total cost for one acre. ....$8

The probable yield of that acre would
be twelve bushels, the cost of which
would be only 6S cents a bushel. Is that
desrer than buying flour at $500 barrel
cash?
Another objection farmers make to
raising wheat is that the mills have all
run down and they cannot make -four fit
to eat. That complaint serves as an ex-
cuse for lsziness. We used some -four
made at Whites mill from wheat not
we'll dried, and it was frat class. Noah
Bell brought us sack of "middlipgs" for
which the children cried after they got
taste of the delicious batter cakes and
"black bread" as they called it. A lady
from Florida after trying Bells "mid-
dlings" left an order for sack to be ship.
ped to her home. Captain Isaac Padgett
left some of his -four at our door last
week and it is beautiful cream color,
and the taste is better than the whitest
patent ever made. There are other good
mills in the County, and if you will
make the wheat they will all be put in
irst-class order.-Spartanburg Spartan.

Cotton Seed Meal and Hulls for
Horses.

In reply to inquiries touching the
feeding of horses and mules with cotton
seed and meal, W c. Welborn gives the
following:
With cents day in cotton seed meal
and hulls 1 can put all the flesh on
1000 pound steer that bis frame will
hold, or get all the work out of him be is
capable of doing Why not do the same
with mules and horses has often been
asked. Horse feed is very expensive, and
especially so here, where all the corn,
oats and hay are bought.
Now, cotton seed meal is not only
cheaper pound for pound, than corn, but
contains about three times as much nu.
triment, and the hulls only cost one fifth
of the prices of hay. The more hulls and
meal horse can be made to eat, then the
less expensive will be the ration. I have
been experimenting some on this line,
and for the benefit of others give some.
thing of the results. I began with q
horse and mule, and by mixing only the
smallest quantity of meal and hulls with
corn chops and bran, induced them to eat
it. The amount was increased from day
to day, till now they eat three pounds oi
meal and enough hulls to furnish suffi-
cient roughness.
confidently expect in a years time te
be able to feed horses on 10 to 20 cents a
day, instead of 30 or 40 cents. Corn
meal and cotton seed meal and hulls
make an excellent combination. Corn fed
alone is too heating and contains toe
little of the alluminoids, or muscle pro
ducing elements. Cotton seed meal is
exceedingly rich in these. The two
mixed will make the complete ration

they should call on the Auditor and get

- 1t is estimated that the Western
railroads have earned $3.50, 900 the past
year from the transportation of Mormon
missionaries and their proselytes.
Enough disciples are brought over from
Europe every year to keep the Mormon

Sow Wheat,

There is nothing the matter with the
seasons and the lands of the Piedmont
section when it comes to raising wheat.
In the old days before the war small far
mers made twice enough to supply their
own wants and -four was hauled from our
mills to Augusta and Columbia. People
living in the towns could get supply of
-four from any wheat mill in the country.
Seed wheat was always abundant. Occa.
sionally partial failure would occur for
the varieties were generally late.
Fresh lands were generally sown then
and the wheat was put in early 80 that
good stand was secured before the freezes
came. Now the best land is saved for
cotton. Wheat is generally put off in
some odd corner and plowed in late in
December without preparation and often
without manure About half the years
partial failure follows as it ought to do.
We cannot hope to equal the big yields
of the Shenandoah Valley or the prairies
of the Northwest, but by sowing good
land in time We may expect twelve to
twenty bushels to the acre.
Our farmers should SOW wheatiberslly
this year. The small amount for sale in
the County is worth 81 25 bushel. Fair
-four is retailing At $500 q barrel. Eu-
rope is demanding large quantities of
American grain. Many persons believe
that wheat will go to $3.50 bushel.
That would carry -four to $500 a barrel.
Can Spartanburg farmers afford to pay
that when their own lands will produce
wheat at less than $l.00 a bushel7
There are Thousands OF acres of idle land
that would make good wheat if properly
prepared.
OF course there are many farmers who
say that it will not pay to raise wheat.
The same ground planted in cotton will
buy twice the -four that acre will make.
Such farmers generally buy their flour
on liens. Take one acre and see how
cheap wheat may be raised.
