For the ADVERTISER.
Dots from Antioch.

We are discussing hard times
and devising plans for the new
year. If one would judge from
the conversation of farmers around
here, very little cotton will be
planted in this section next year.
If we poor fellows really mean to
decrease the acreage in cotton and
60 it on grain and other things it
would not be many years before
our country would be prosperous.
Glover and peas are the only means
of our salvation. A distant rela-
tion Of your correspondent, who
resides in Georgia, on a six acre
lot of clover raised hogs to net 800
pounds at nine months old. Why
cam we do it? There is no crop
we can raise better for hogs than
potatoes and sorghum, both of
which can be made with very little
cultivation.
Have any of our farmers ever
tried banking potato vines for early
planting? I have read of it often
but have never tried it. As near
as I remember the way to bank
them is as.follows: Throw up land
with a spade about foot above the
surface just as though you were
going to bed the potato. In the
centre of the bed drive a stake
about four feet high, around which
wrap the vines, and proceed just
as you would in banking potatoes,
little lime sprinkled on the
ground before covering with straw
will absorb all moisture and pre-
vent rot. Now it requires very lit
tie time or labor to try this ex-
pertinent, and if successful pota-
toes can be marketed the last of
June or 1st of July at a large
profit. I hope some one will try it
before the vines are killed by frost
and report results the the ADvER'
TIsER.

OH Nov. 14th on "Sure Prosperity"
2nd Chron. 14:1-7.
Death has again. invaded our
community and claimed as its vic
tim ole of our most popular young
women. Mrs. Jocie Leverett Clan
ton, wife of Mr.. G. M. Glanton, de-
parted this life on Saturday morn
ing, Oct. 18th, at s o'clock. Her
remains were carried to Georgia,
her native home, for interment.
To the bereaved husband and heart
broken mother we extend our SYM
pathy.
1t is with sadness. mingled with
sorrow that we chronicle the death
of Mrs. Freeman Thomas, of Red
Hill. Georgia May Thomas, daugh-
ter of the late Charles May, Esq,
was horn in the Meeting Street
section, October, 1859, and was
thirty-fve years old at the time OF
her death, Oct. IA.
Having been reared by a father
whose every walk inslife was up
right, and who adhered strictly to
the principles of Christianity aud
religion, it was but natural that
she should unite with Christ's
church early in life. Mrs. Thomas
was Christian woman of the
highest type. Indeed she lived
and enjoyed her religion, and in
her last illness she bore suffering
with Christian fortitude, without a
murmer. She was the kindest of
neighbors, and was loved and es'
teemed by all who knew her. No
one ever asked for aims and was
refused. In all the works of
charity she was ready and will
ing contributor, and was power
for good in her community. Mrs.
Thomas was a gentle and affec-
tionate wife, and when gathered
around the hearthstone with the,
members of her family it was there
that she endeavored to point them
to a better home ''not made by
hands, eternal in the heavens.
Irving once said that "sorrow for
the dead was soon forgotten" Can
this be true? Can the devoted hus-
band cease 10 sorrow for his affec-.
tionate wife? Can the grief
stricken brothers and sisters cease
to sorrow Cor the companion of
their youth! Nay, never. Thou
art gone from earth to heaven.
Never agein can we gaze upon thy
form, or feel the pressure Of thy
hands. The chair around the fire.
eide in vacant, but the sweet infu-
ence of thy pure life will ever
hover over us. Thou art free from
trials and trouble. Thou vast
faithful unto death, and hath re-
ceived crown of life.

"YOu. Ephrainl ="

"YOu, Ephraim
"Ephraim! Your hoecake amt
been turned over" Recently in
Macedonia, the colored Baptist
church of our village, visiting
minister. preached sermon from
this text. He addressed all the
unregenerate of his congregation
as "Ephraims," and compared
them most graphically, to hoe
cake that had not been turned
over. Everybody knows" said
he, "that hoecake that amt been
turned over, amt no hoecake at
all-dog bread-and you might
cook it till the COWS come home
themselves, and it still wouldn't
be fit to eat-dog bread. Some
might think that hoecake would
get half done before you turn ii
over. but it amt so, there is only
a little skin OH the side next the
fire, that is good to eat, and if ii
amt turned over you can't get even
to that. That's the way with the
sinner" said he, eff he don't turn
over, turn away from sin and the
fire, he's nothing but dog bread
and will stay outside the gates o1
heaven waitln' for the dogs to ea1
him, for the. Bible says, Without
are dogs And shaking his Ions
finger at Jack Sample, Alb Clark
Wash Adams, Tom Brooks, El:
Forrest, and sundry others of the
congregation he implored "Epb
rain" to turn over his hoecake
now, for the night cometh, a pool
time to turn hoecake. And if yor
wait till you drop into the burning
lake the fire will be so bot you
hoecake will stick to the hoe ane
there will be no turning of it then
turn now before the winds O.
damnation blow you into the grea
big cotton patch of eternity a
thirty cents hundred!"
Our colored friends have some
very appropriate images, some
times, that get next to a man, whe1
nothing else will. And this one
"Ephraim, your hoecake ain
turned over," is one of them.

Edgefeld was delighted will
the entertainment in the Operf
House Oh last Friday night, The
playing and the singing and al
that, but above all and beyond al
with Mr.. Jas. T. Bacon's inimita
BILE lecture on early Edgefeld.'
And who more capable than frienc
Bacon to delightfully."- tell of early
Edgefeld, for he himself and his
ancestors were in it and of it--naag7o,
pars .tati. And yet, and yet, this
same Edgefeld, of the present
will wonder and does wonder why
their friend did not sooner essay
the task, and that he has so long
hidden his talent in napkin,
Does he think, can he longer
imagine that he may play the role
of the swan of which it is said
"The sweetest song is the last he sings?"
Nay, nay, not SO! the sweetest,
to be sure, but not the last.
Making Corn.
Early in the spring Messrs. D. B.
Hollingsworth, H. Spann Barr,
J. B. Hill, and W. H. Cothran, all
living near our town, made all
agreement to plant an acre of corn
apiece, work it, and manure as each
thought best, and when the corn
was gathered the one making the
greatest yield to receive two bush
els from each of his competitors.
The following are the results:
Mr.. D. B. Hollingsworth made
from his acre Az bushels, the ma
nure estimated at $42.50. @
Mr.. w. H. Cothran made 334
bushels, at an estimated cost in
manure of $11.50.
Mr.. H. S. Barr gathered 324
bushels, the manure costing 1920.
Mr.. John B. Hill got 298 bushels,
the manure costing $14.50.
It would seem from the above
figures that, while all did we'll Mr..
Hollingsworth made the most corn,
but Mr.. Barr the most money. s
Battle In Edgefield.
We clip the following from, a
Newberry paper:
monday night Mr.. Jas. Nielsen
and a Mr.. Blalock, Trial Justice
deputies of Goodwill Laurens
county, weut to the + Knights
Ferry section of Edgefeld county
to arrest a negro woman who lived
on Mr.. J. S. Blalock's place at
Goldville, for violation of contract.
They found the object of their
search and started back to Laurens
with their prisoner. They failed
to get across the Saluda river at
Herbert's ferry and were on their
way to another ferry, when they
were met about daylight by dozen
or more armed negroes, who opened
fire upon them. Nelson had
Winchester rifle and Blalock a
breech- loading shot gun, and they
returned the fire, the former shoot
ing sixteen times and the latter
about a dozen times.
Constable Nelson received two
wounds in the face-one shot IN
forehead and one in. the cheek,
which lodged in his mouth-and
one in tie left thumb, all of which
are slight. The constables do not
know whether any of the negroes
were shot or not.
During the shooting the prisoner
fled. ;, The constables held their
ground, and when the negroes saw
that the woman had escaped they
retired. =:
The constables passed through
Newberry Tuesday on their way
back to Laurens, reaching here be-
tween s and 9 o'clock and leaving
about IL.
