NOT A CANDIDATE.

We clip the following from the
Augusta Herald, of one or two
days since, Mr.. Townes thinks
that Edgefeld has enough offices
to do her for awhile, and be is
not in the race for superintendent
of the penitentiary at Columbia
Hon. III. III. Townes, of Edge
field, a delegate to the late state
convention at Columbia, was in
Augusta to-day and was seen by
aHerald reporter.
Mr.. Townes says the Democratic
party of South Carolina is in the
best possible condition and that
the old Palmetto State will cast
her electoral votes for Cleveland
and Stevenson by large majority.
Mr.. Townes, whose name has
been used in connection with the
position of superintendent of the
penitentiary at Columbia, when
asked about the matter, said he
was net and would not be a can
didate, and he, under the present
condition of affairs, did not think

/, Mr.. S. G. Mayfeld, a Barnwell
county farmer, planted this year
,S3 ceres in tobacco: From these
33, acres he has gathered from
1900 to 1850 pounds per acre, and
has sold it at an average of 15
cents per pound, receiving for
some of it as high as 26 cents per
pound. Mr.. Mayfeld AYERS that
the growing and housing OF his
crop has cost him less than $50
per acre, yielding him gross $3.50
per acre. Putting the cost of
shipping and marketing at $50 per
acre Mr.. Mayfeld claims that he
has cleared s1O0 for each of the
33 acres that he planted last
spring. Of course the result of
this experiment has enthused the
farmers of Barnwell and they are
going pell-meH into the culture OF
tobacco.

butter which had been in the

several hours in the ward, and ate
it Immediately after having sup
ported and handled one of our
very worst cases.
A aREwsoME CASE.
The case was on which came in
yesterday afternoon and he was
laid in the bed where Schultz had
died the night previously. He was
in state.of collapse. A salt wa
ter Infusion was tried, and
strangely enough he bled pro-
fusely. At 2.45 he came in and
at 800 I was holding his right
arm. His pulse had been very
weak and failed entirely. He was
dead.
Immediately after that, with
my hands covered with his blood
and strong smell of, cholera upon
them, I ate my bread and butter
without washing my hands. This,
of course, was strictly against the
rules of Ward F. or indeed, of any
other ward. Eating among chol-
era patients is tempting death in a
reckless manner.
But let me tell DR. Menchot
that I ate by stealth so as in no
way to give bad exampley to the
other nurses.
HARD FIGHT FOR LIFE;
You will remember how I told
you of young Wojton, who was my
left hand neighbor of the night
1 slep IN Ward F. He died during
the day after a long fight in which
youth and a magnificent physique
went for nothing How that man
did fight! l shall never forger it.
Within few minutes Of Wojton's
death the fireman, who was in the
opposite bed, died, and the man
who had lain next to my right
hand neighbor, Norritz,- and who
had died parted company. Thus
the two on the right and the two
on the left of me as I slept on the
CHASTITY night are dead.

Immediately after the recent
Eprimary, South Carolina bonds
dropped to 80 1-2, and every many
of the opposition papers were
quick to cali attention to the fact,
and intimate that it was an
evidence of the fact that capitalists
were afraid of South Carolina
securities. But on Saturday, 10th
inst, those some bonds went up
to 96, and not one of them, 80 far
as we have seen, has had the grace
to speak of it. If any injury has
been done to the credit of the state,
if there has been any depreciation
of our bonds, if investors haye
been made afraid of our securities,
| it has been caused by the persis-
tency with which the daily press
OF the state which had the ear of
financial circles, constantly para
ded before them that the Tillman
administration was making waz
upon capital. And we opine. that
when these investors have come
to look over the field and see that
the administration has been
endorsed by an overwhelming ma
| jority of the men who constitute
the bone and sinew of the State
they have concluded that South
Carolina securities are about as
safe as any. And the proof of it is
fonnd in the fact that those bonds
have advaced to 96 and the blue
bonds which bear only 4 1-2 per
cent, interest are worth 100 cents
on the dollar.
These bonds at a low rate OF
interest have long time to- run,
while these others at a higher rate
will mature in less than a year,
and herein is doubtless found the
true reason for any depreciation
that may exist, for investors in
that class of securities would nat
urally prefer long time bond.
The credit of a state, like the
credit Of an ipdividual, is ;,a 1aaessured
fbycapacity and willing s pay,
and measured by. that, a South
Carolina security is gilt edge
investment for the ability OF the
state is shown in the fact that the
property of the state behind the
bonds is worth at a fair cash
valuation near three hundred
millions of dollars, and it's willin-
guess is shown in the fact that
every obligation of the state has
been met at maturity, the interest
on the. debt has been promptly
paid and that without borrowing
a cent of money. The attacks up
on the credit of the state have
been causeless and factious, and
if made upon the credit of a priv
ate individual would ruin it no
matter what his means were or
however we'll known his willing
ness to pay.-Peoples Advocate.

Meadow Grass.

Heavy meadow grass is valuable. If
its quality does not come up to standard
it may be cut wet and balanced up with
nitrogenous foods, like cottonseed and
linseed meal, and will pay we'll for
feeding. Because a meadow is over
flowed each year and doesn't cut the
best timothy, but yields heavy fescue or
other grasses, don't despise it. Stimu-
late it, encourage it, make all you can
of it. II the field does not yield heavily
harrow it or plow and harrow it after
the regular freshet, so it will have a
chance to get sodded before another
flood, and sow grass at once.
Sow varieties that are known to do
well in such situation and SOW more
than one kind. Be sure to SOW sorts
that ripen together, that the hay may be
fit for the mowers, and not part too ripe
and part too green, is the advice of a
Philadelphia Farm Journal correspond
ent, who furnishes also the following
suggestive item: Il have neighbor who
last year had the best prospects for
good corn crop Of any one around, but
he followed old time ways and put a
heavy cultivator at work severing the
corn root in July, and drought set
ting in just after, his crop failed to pro-
duce within good many bushels Of
what it promised"

New Decorative Enects-An Attractive
Color Combination.

Color Combination.
A charming decorative effect is produced
by sewing down gold thread with colored
nix. This is specially apparent in charm
ing plush table cover Of soft golden green
shade. The design is wrought out with
gold and cream silks, with outlines of gold
thread sewed with red silk. The thread is
of coppery tint, and this, with the red
silk, affords just the requisite warmth of
tone unattainable I'm n green and gold
scheme. 1t is surprising that such hand
some result could be achieved with 80 com
paratively small an amount Of work. The
set designs making the center are filled in
with silks, but the plush serves for the
running foliage, the leaves being outlined
and veined with gold and only shaded
slightly at the edges with silks.
Yellow and also a combination Of white
and yellow are the fashion in needlework,
especially for small things. A blotter of
coppery yellow velvet is decorated with
white linen applique design, outlined and
veined with gold thread. A few scattered
forgetmenots are worked with blue silk
here and there. Again, there is the same
combination in second blotter, but this
time the ground is white linen, and the
spray of white leaves and grapes is done
with brilliant yellow silk; the tendrils
with gold thread. Colored linens are quite
the favorite material for pincushions for
common use; they are very severe, with
out frills or ribbons or lace. The square or
oblongs are the shapes generally seen, and
they are embroidered with single spray
Of flowers or set design. Some are not
even so much as edged with cord. White
or a contrasting colored fax is used for the
pattern.
For quiet bit Of decoration mauve sweet
peas ON a reseda ground is a happy choice
Two or three flowers and little light green
foliage are considered sufficient for a hand
kerchief sachet and pincushion to match
For those satin is the chosen material.
Curtains are, to some extent, taking the
place of embroidered panels on screens and
make pleasant change. One with brass
rod frame has n copper gold curtain scan
tily plated. This is embroidered with
green, terra Gotta and yellow crewels along
the lower edge and bordered with variously
colored silk fringe.

Director Gilbert of the Ottawa (Can-

essential elements of success, as here
given, says that the breeds found to be
| the best for farmers among the varieties
tried so far are the White Leghorns and
Plymouth Rocks, for the reason that
the White Leghorns have laid more
eggs and the Plymouth Rocks have put
on more flesh than any others. The
Wyandottes make q good general pur-
pose fowl. The Brahmas are also fine

owing to their large frame, but they
make large birds after six or seven
months. Some crosses make fine layers
