WEDNESDAY, DEC. II, 1894.

1t is estimated that over one
third of the corn crop of 1894 was
made in this South land of ours.
Low priced cotton is the cause OF
this, for which we ought to be duly
thankful.

$3.50 in favor of the intensive, or
Marlboro method; the gain would
appear very much more if the item
for day labor together with the
corn and grain crops were consid-
cred. Another consideration and
all importantone is. the lands here
are yearly improving while on
Saluda and elsewhere for that mat
ter they are going down or scarcely
holding their own.
Renters here are required to use
from 400 to 500 pounds of fertil-
izer per acre. That understanding
enters into the contract. They pay
money rent, usually from Sd to
S. per acre; i'll few instances
$40. The scientific farmers here,
and of these only do I speak, have
their lands in such an improved
state that they can tell at seed
time what the harvest will be.
So far as tic preparation and
cultivation goes these differ very
little from that by good farmers in
other sections of the State. Suffice
it to say they prepare and cultivate
well. The fertilizers used and the
seasons do the rest.
Another important element en-
terilg into the Intensive system is
rotation of crops. The cotton land

YOUTHFUL FoRcEK CAUGHT.

w. H. Quinn's Wide and Expensive Career
Of Crime Temporarily Checked.
W. II. Quinn, a boy Of sixteen, was arrested
yesterday at the Pennsylvania station for
forgery. He had just arrived from Chicago,
where the crime was committed, and was on
his way to New York. He is a well-dressed
fellow, of good education, and comes of one
Of the best families OF Cambridge, Mass.
When seen at the station last night he
readily admitted his guilt, and told how he
came to grief. His career has been gay
one, and his field extensive. He commenced
operations in New York, and travelled over
great portion of the country. Between his
Cambridge. He had been attending
school. His mother advised him to give up
school and 20 into some kind OF business.
He went to a small town in New Hampshire.
Here he proceeded to sign his mothers name
to number of small checks. These his
family redeemed. Proceeding to Buffalo,
N. Y, he procured $40 in the same way,
and in New York city.
In Los Angeles he met one Ell Fessenthal.
Thence he went to Chicago, where he opened
a bank account by depositing check for S240
which had his mothers name forged to it.
The Windy City soon absorbed his cash and
he was stranded. While in this condition he
changed the name on his bank book to II. H.
Brown, thus giving Brown a balance of S240.
He met about this time his old friend, Fes-
senthal. The two grew quite jolly over
bottle Of wine. and Quinn showed his bank
book "Would Fessenthal mind cashing one
of Mr. Browns checks?' Not all all; SO Fes-
senthal dropped $50 on one check and $40
on another. Before the banks opened the
next day young Quinn was on his way to
Harrisburg.
Quinn arrived here from Harrisburg last
night and falling afoul of city detective
was arrested. His family having grown tired
of his actions, have refused to refund Mr..
Fessenthal his money. and Quinn will have
to pay the penalty of his misdemeanors. He
estimates the money thus obtained and
squanuered since the 31st of January to
amount to 81 200.

To know how horse feels learn how you
would feel in the same condition.
If more judgment were used our country
roads could be greatly improved without any
additional expense.
Breed for brains as well as speed as it is
necessary that they be combined in the horse
that IS to be money winner.
Whipping makes confirmed shiers. because
the horse connects the pain with the object
of his fear and is more afraid of it thereafter.
There are nanny trotters that can't trot,
and it is also true that there are many train
ers that can't train and many drivers that
can't drive.
A bird in the hand has always been worth
two in the bush, and a mare that has proved
her capacity to produce speed is worth several
excellent prospects.
Man and horse are wonderfully alike.
Whatever distresses one would distress the
other. God designed them to be the best Of
friends, and to abuse a horse is mean and
cowardly to the last degree.

All purple with bloom while the little maid

Her stint was long one and she was a-weary,
And moaned that she never could get it

And a wonderful sweetness came floating
in,
And Elizabeth felt, though she could not have

That friend had come to her to help her

And after that she kept on at her spinning.
Gay as bird, fer the world had begun
To seem such a pleasant, good place for work.

GEN. o,FERRALEs OPPORTUNITY.


The naval prowess of Admiral O'Ferrall.
Governor of Virginia, has already been
firmly established. He told US he would
shiver his timbers before he would allow any
Maryland oyster pirate to scatter to the four
winds the rights of the oystermen of the Old
Dominion. He buckled on his sea legs, boxed
the compass, and hove to. The Maryland
oyster pirates thought it best to pull for the
shore. Governor O'Ferrall now has an OPP
portunity to establish his military prowess.
Let him march upon Jackson City. 1t is said
that there are gamblers there, with pool
rooms, and it is believed by many that they
violate laws. Governor O'Ferrall's duty is to
call out the militia, execute flank move
ment with Alexandria as base Of supplies,
tunnel under the pool-rooms of the Jackson
City gamblers. and blow them sky high.
Before they could reach the ground again the
reputation of O'Ferrall as general as well
