The sidewheel steamer Havana, for sew
eral years a fishing banks steamer out of
New York, and recently sold to Philadel-
phia parties, has record of more years
valuable service to her credit than any
other steamboat afloat. She was built at
Greenpoint, L. l., in 1860, for freight and
passenger service between New York and
Philadelphia, and named the Cos
mopolitan. At the breaking out of the
war she was chartered by the quarter
masters department and used as
a dispatch boat between southern ports
until the close of the war. Some years
after VIM. p. Clyde & Co. bought her
and put her on the route between New
Orleans and Havana, after changing
her name to Havana; and many a big
cargo of sugar this 1urdensome craft has
carried between these two ports. The
Havana afterwards did service out of
Baltimore in one of the Clyde lines. A
30-year-old steamboat, like a 20-year-old
horse, is not a beauty to look at, but if
well taken care of when younger, like the
horse, can get around all right if given
time.

A Farmers Experiment.

A correspondent of a North Car
olina paper gives the following &C
count of his experiment in plant
ing corn:
T want to give the farmers the
benefit of a little experiment that
I made with guano last spring on
corn.
The land was checked 4 feet one
way 81 the other. | used one sack
putting it in the check on every
other row till it give out. [ had
4S rows with guano by the side of
4S rows without. In two weeks
after the corn came up the fertil-
lied rows began to show, and by
the first of Julie they were foot
higher than the ones by their side.
/ gathered two rows and weighed
one of each. The row no guano
weighed Gil pounds; the one with
S6t pounds, grain ..of 25 pounds
to the row and in 47 rows I made
1924 pounds or III bushels of
corn more by using one sack Of
guano. Counting the guano at
$3.50 and the corn at so cents, |
have a clear profit of $6.25.
I also tried the difference be-
tween two stalks in hill and one.
The rows without guano side by
side one stalk weighed 81 ! pounds
and the other with two to the hill
weighed 53t pounds. With guano
the single row weighed S64 and
with 2 stalks 94t pounds.
You will see that the rows with
two stalks weighed a few pounds
the most, but in the single rows !
had Just half the number Of ears
and the corn wes worth more than
the corn in the double rows. II
pays to thin we'll.

The Railroad Cases.

This was a test case, and is the
first time the question has come
before the courts squarely on its
merits, and it is thought it will
settle all the other cases brought
by the other railrods to contest the
validity of the increased taxes.
This particular case was bought by
the South Carolina road, and Judge
Simonton directs the receiver to
pay up the back taxes and all costs.
If this should end all further
litigation it will bring 100000,
the amount of back taxes in dis
pute into the State treasury. How
do you like it, taxpayers? That's
some more of Tillman's blunder-
ing(?) You have been told to look
at your tax receipts and see how
much higher your taxes are under
Tillman. Now, do you see the
reason2 $4,000 withheld by the
1ailrods means 1 Is mills oh $685.
100000, and if that had been paid
into the treasury just as you had
to pay yours, it would have meant
reduction of your State levy by
Just that amount. But your anti
newspaper friends (?) in remind
ing you of your increased taxes
forgot (?) to tell you that you had
to make up this tax money that
had been unjustly withheld. They
forgot (?) to tell you about the
$4,000 that the Tillman admin
istration had to pay to refund the
State debt because the preceding
administration had made no
adequate preparation to meet a
debt that it knew would soon
mature. They forgot (?) to tell
you that the Tillman administra-
ton has been forced by captious
litigation at every turn by the cor
porations to spend money to make
these same corporations understand
that they are no better before the
than you are in the matter of taxes.
And they forgot (?) to tell you
that they themselves while posing
as the friends of the farmers have
patted these corporations on the
back, and would neither 'hold the
bear" nor help Tillman in making
your fight, but stood off and chuck
led with delight when the cor
porations appeared to "down Till
man." No other governor in recent
wears has ever dared to tackle the
money power in this State and take
it by the throat, but on the con-
tray, it has had it's friends in the
high places of the government and
it's paid attorneys have sat in your
legislative halls and filled the
| lobbies of the State House and
had things according to their own
sweet will. That is changed and
hence the kicking.

Dying BY Inches.

BALTIMORE, March 23.-The
physicians at the city hospital are
puzzled over a strange case which
came under their notice two weeks
ago. The patient is young wo-
man from Washington county, Pa.
She has some peculiar ailment al
most like leprosy and is literally
dying alive. Several years ago a
small sore appeared on the thumb
of her right hand, and soon after
the member became as black as ink.
Amputation of the thumb was re-
sorted to in order to save her life,
and for a time she was COM
paratively we'll.
In few months a finger became
sore as the thumb had done, and
it, too, was amputated. Since then
all of the fingers have decayed the
same way and been cut off. Next
her hand also became affected, and
it was taken off at the wrist. The
forearm was next attacked by the
strange maledy, and it was ampu-
tated at the elbow. A few months
after the stump of the arm turned
black and was taken off at the
shoulder. Now her left hand and
feet are turning dark, and she has
been sent to the hospital, in hopes
that her life may be saved. Her
ailment is regarded as fatal.

CORRESPONDENCE
For the ADVERTISER.
Mine Creek Dots.

Mr.. EDITOR: Owing to the wet
weather the farmers are somewhat
behind, but they are making their
time count now.
Mr.. William Rodgers is very i'll
at his home near Mr.. P. B. Wat
sons store.
Politics seem not to be agitating
the minds Of the people around
here at present. I believe that the
poor working class o. people has
about arrived at the conclusion
that this contention in politics is
going to do them no good. They
have to earn their living by the
sweat of their brow, and we would
not insist that they lose much time
attending political meetings.
Mr.. James Rodgers had several
bushels of corn stolen out of his
barn the other night. 1t seems
that the party who did the stealing
was pretty bold about the matter.
They were on horseback. People
should keep their barns locked
these hard times.
There is gentleman living near
here who, it is supposed, has sew
eral thousand dollars in some
place, and no one knows where it
is save himself. He has couple
of pretty girls, and there is young
man who says he would marry one
of them, but he seems to think the
old gentleman might die without
having told them where the money
was.
We guess everybody has heard
that there has been a gold mine
found on Mr.. Hillery Rodgers's
place. We hear that Mr.. Rodgers
and a couple of his hands have
started digging for the gold.
The grain crops of our commu-
nifty are at the present time look
ing fine.
We had the pleasure of attend
ing the closing exercises of Prof.
C. l.. Temples's school at Willow
Branch on the 9th inst. So far as
we could see, Prof. Temples has
advanced the pupils we'll accord
ing to the time he had been teach
ing. Ten of his pupils had a pro-
hibition contest for a silver medal.
Miss Emma McGee was the sue
cessful competitor.
We thought we would inform tie
boys that Miss Maud Rodgers, who
has been teaching school for some
time in Newberry, is at home
again. She is one Of the most
charming girls that the country
affords.
Mr.. Perry Barnes, of the Mt.
Willing section, has recently
moved his turpentine still to Mr..
Pick Denny's place.

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was meyer time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The conveniences of
mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual &C
cesslons to the appurtenances and
implements of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The political
change in the administration of the
government does not affect the progress
of the American inventor, wi being
on the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of government to deter him
from quickly conceiving the remedy to
overcome existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in choos
nga competent and skillfully attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-
plication for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in in
Vulnerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength Of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the
fee then due. The PRESS CLAIMS
COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General
Manager, 6lS + street, n. W., Wash
ington, D. c.. representing large
number of important daily and weekly
papers, as well as general periodicals
of the country, was instituted to pro-
tect its patrons from the unsafe
methods heretofore employed in this
line of business. The said Company
is prepared to take charge of all patent
business entrusted to it for reasonable
fees, and prepares and prosecutes ap-
plications generally, including
mechanical inventions, design patents
trademarks, labels, copyrights. inter-
ferences, infringements, validity re-
ports. and gives especial attention to
rejected cases. 1t is also prepared to
enter into competition with any firm
in securing foreign patents.
Write for instructions and advice.

From conversations with farm
ers from different portions Of the
county, we gather that they are
full of hope and determination to
make a spoon or spoil a horn this
year in their farming operations.
Whether it be the early spring or
the fine grain prospects, one or
both, that make them so Joy yously
anticipant, we do not know. But
so it is, they are full up to the neck
