The Farmers Garden.

Wlththe majority of farmers The
garden is of very small considera-
tion and its entire management is
left to thegood wife. 1t consists of
a patch OF a few rods of ground in
some corner, and usually shadoxed
bn1tabIes-1bostly collards--not
sssGmscient to support the table for
a month.
The farmers garden should be
large enough to grow not only an
abundance of vegetables for the
family, but also small fruits, such
as strawberries, raspberries, black
berries, and grapes. This will
take at least one-half an acre of
ground. This should be we'll loca-
ted if good returns are expected.
The..land shouldabe we'll sdrained,
and the soil sandy loan.
The garden should be longer
than it is wide, so as to have long
rows in cultivation and the most
of the work done with the horse.
You cannot apply too much
manure if it is properly worked
into the ground. Select the best
of seed and only buy of reliable
seedmen.

Courage of Luther.

AS Luther drew near the door
which was about to admit him in
to the presence of judges (the
Diet of Wofms), he met a valiant
knight, the celebrated George of
Taeundsburg, The old general,
seeing Luther pass, tapped him
on the shoulder and shaking his
head, blanched in many battles,
said kindly: "Poor monk, poor
monk! thou art now going to
make a nobler stand than [ or any
other captains have ever made in
the bloodiest of battles. But if
thy cause, is just, and thou art
sure of it, go forward in Gods
name. and fear nothing. God will
not forsake thee"
A noble tribute of repect paid
by the courage of the sword to the
courage of the mind.-D'e
Aubigne.

born in Charleston forty-three
years ago and in 1869 went from
Charleston to Timmonsville, where
he has since resided. For about
eighteen years he was the railroad
agent of the Atlantic Coast line at
Timmonsville. From 1883 to 1889
he served as Treasurer for Darling
ton county, filling the office to the
entire satisfaction of all parties.
At the same time he was interested
in mercantile business at Tim
monsville, which was getting SO
large that. he found 1T to his ad-
vantage to retire from office and
devote himself to his business.
AS to his politics he said that be
was fully identified with the Re-
formers, although he has never
taken an active part in the politi-
calgcontests. He said that he has
always been partial to the ideas of
the Reformers.
Mr. Traxler in his talk gives
every indication of being a pretty
clear-headed man, and he expects
to Iun the Dispeasary on strictly
business principles. The Dispen-
sary headquarters, he said, would
be in the Agricultural Hall.

Dicks After Thougt.

A certain celebrated Southern
judge, who was not a believer in re-
vealed truth, was in the habit of
twitting his body servant on re-
ligious matters. "Dick, he said
one day, you say the devil besets
you; now I want to know why he
lets sinner like me off free?"
Dick could not tell why, but the
next day he went duck shooting
with his master. The first time the
Judge fired into the flock he killed
two or three and wounded as
many more. At once the hunter
threw down his gun and with
sticks and stones tried to make
sure Of his wounded game but paid
no attention to the dead ones
floating down stream.
"Massa," called Dick" it jist
come to my mind why de debil
troubles me so much, sab, an let

A Reminiscence of Gen. Beau
gard.

Gen. Rosser is my authority in
the narration of ali incident at
the first battle of Manassas, in
which he played somewhat ridi-
culous part. After the rout COM
mended, Rosser, who was comman-
ding artillery that day, was 80
fortunate as to cut off and capture
about 1900 Yankees. Not knowing
what disposition to make of them,
he despatched one of his aides, to
inform the commanding general
(Beauregard) of the capture, and
to receive his commands i'll the
premises. Beauregard saw the
messenger advancing, with a small
guard and the prisoners a little in
the rear. and as the blue very de-
cidedly outshone the gray, the
General, surrounded by a small
coterie of officers only, thought
that the Yankees must be after
him. AS he quickened his pace
in another direction the couriers
with their prisoners) quickened
theirs, and the race was two
mile one before Beauregard ascer-
tanned the fact that he was running
from his own men and captured
enemies" He was very angry, and
it was with difficulty that they
could cool him down enough to
take reasonable view of the mat.
ter and to recognize the fact that
the mistake was his own.

Cling Desperately to Life.

New York Ledger.
Cats, according to the old ira
dition, have nine lives, but they are
not the only creatures that enjoy
such a plurality. Infusoria have
been dried and restored to life by
moistening after remaining inert
dust for 27 years, and the drying
resuscitation has been successfully
tried II times on one lot of rotifers.
Frogs and mrmo fishes suffer no

in a few cases even warm blooded
animals have been restored to life
after apperant death from freezing.

An Independent Miller.

Wide Awake.
When Frederick built his fa-
nous palace of Sans Souci, there
happened to be mill that greatly
hampered him in the execution Of
his plans, and he asked the miller
for how much he would sell it.
The miller replied that for a long
series of years his family had
owned the mill, which had passed
from father to son, and he would
not sell it any price. The king
used every solicita tion, offered to
build a mill in a better place and
pay him besides any sum he might
demand, but the obstinate miller
persisted in his determination to
preserve the inheritance of his
ancestors.
Irritated at last by his conduct,
the king sent for him and said IN
an angry tone:
"Why do you refuse to sell your
mill, Notwithstanding all the adj
vantages I have offered you?"
The miller repeated his reasons
"Do you know continued the
king, "that I could take it without
giving you a penny?"
eyes," rejoined the miller
calmly, "if it were not for the
chamber of justice ut Berlin" :"
The king was so fattered by this
answer, which showed that he was
incapable of an act of injustice
that he dismissed the miller with
out further entreaty and changed
the plan of his gar den.

How To Keep Irish Potatoes.

The Yorkville Enquirer gives the
plan pursued by DR.. John G.
Black, successful farmer at
Blacksburg, in keeping I1ish
potatoes through the winter, which
is as follows:
GAS a rule, the Irish potatoes
preserved in this country are
watery and not as good for table
use as those which come from the
North. This is not on account of
the difference in climate, or any,
thing Of that kind, but the fault is
with the. common method of pre-
serving. The idea is to prevent
such chemical changes as will
destroy the starch. This can best
be donesbyt the use of.f cool dark
CELLAR q: .vs1
ventilation. To get more room, it
is a good idea to have tiers of
shelving on the inside, one tier
twelve or fifteen inches above the
ether. On digging the potatoes,
put them on these shelves to a
depth of about four inches. Then
keep the door closed tight during
the day, AID open at night until
about the first of December, when
the potatoes may be put in barrels
and headed up. After that, of
course the door should remain
closed, Every week or two it is
necessary to go over the potatoes
on the shelves and throw out all
that are faulty. If treated in this
way, the potatoes are bound to be
as mealy as could be desired and
the flavor will be delightful. l
have sold about eighty bushels of
potatoes this winter at dollar a
bushel, and the purchasers con-
slider them in every respect equal
to the Northern potatoes.

Abandoned Land Department.

Just about three years ago the
Abandoned Land Department was
created by the Sinking Fund
Commission, and Col. James G.
Gibbes, one of the best and most
energetic civil engineers in the
State was placed at the head of it
as the State abandoned land
agent"
The object of the State in Gre
ating the department. was to have
the tbousandanf of ahAsss1l-1-i.J - !
up, sold and placed on the tax
books. Colonel Gibbes was not
to receive any salary from the
State, but was to be allowed a
commission on all lands placed
on the tax books, defraying his
own expenses in the search for
them.
He sat to work, employed as
sistants and ha. ever since been
hard at work.
He said yesterday that he had
nm TO date succeeded in placing
about-in round numbers-one
million acres of such lands, here
tofore not known to exist, on the
tax books of the several counties
in the State. He says this is about
all of such lands IN the State and
he is about ready to win up the
affairs of the department. He
says the lands now being found
are so poor and are of such low
grade that it does not pay him OF
anyone else the actual expense.
of pursuing the search further.
He says even as it is, about
half of the lands that have been
found and sold are SO poor that
they will be gradually dropped
off the tax books, and in the next
FIVE years will have to be placed
there again.
He says he will have a few sales
in Berkeley, Horny and Greenville
counties on April salesday, but
they will be about the last.
Colonel Gibbes says that it has
not been, and is now, only the
abandoned lands which have beer
escaping taxation. He says there
are hundred of owners of tracts O
1000 acres who return only 70t
acres, and pay on that much. The
State has Nc township maps giving
surveys which show the exac
number of acres in a township
and it has to accept the inevitabl
result, being too poor to have sucl
surveys made.-State.
