The Champion Cotton Crop.

To the Editor of Tie News and Courier
AS many Inquiries have been made 70
me concerning my crop of cotton MADE
last year, and as am always glad that
others may profit by my success or fall.
ure, I have decided to put a statement OF
the same in the columns Of your valuable
paper for the benefit Of all who are inter-
ested.
The twelve acres of land from which
gathered the twenty-one bales of cotton,
averaging four hundred and fifty-one
pounds, last year is part of tract OF
land formerly consisting of thlrty-tWo
acres. When I commenced farming on
it several years ago I suppose it would
grow not more than six hundred pounds
of seed cotton per acre. I divided it into
tracts of sixteen acres each, and st once L
commenced a rotation Of crops, viz, first
cotton, followed by oats, then peas, then
cotton again, always and only manurinly
the cotton crop with a compost consisting
of stable manure, Oottonseed. acid and
kainit, until had worked it up to pro-
ducing very easily with ordinary seasons
bale per acre. OF this land only had
the twelve acres cultivated in cotton.
commenced in the month of February
by ploughing out the stalks of the year
before with one-horse straight shovel
and back again: into this furrow put
nv stable manure, three two-horse loads
per acre, no other fertilizer being used,
except one acre on which [ used sack Of
soluble guano, tho stable manure supply
being exhausted. T used manure from
my own stable as far as it would go,
then bought from livery stables. listed
upon this as soon as possible. It was
about the 18th of March. I finished the
entire preparation of the land about the
middle of April and commenced planting
about the 2Otb of the month. Seed used
was what I had been improving for
several years, now known as "Whites

The rows averaged three and half
feet, the cotton being more or less OF the
cluster variety; wider rows was not
necessary. Early maturity and fruiting
from top to bottom is characteristic

had pretty fair stand on all of it ex-
cept one acre which had some skips. We
had very little rain from the time OF
planting until the 1st Of July, but enough
for the cotton to come up and grow
slowly, consequently had very little
trouble with grass. Only one hoeing was
necessary, except chopping out punches
plough. The rains began in earnest
about the 1st of July and were seasonal
BILE until in September. Commenced
picking on the 1st of September and fin
ished on the 18th of December. In
ploughing the crop used side harrow
first, the other plonghings with astraight
shovel with bow, two burrows to the
row, ploushing out the row at the last
ploughing.

Major A. II. White, of York county,
South Carolina, comes to the front as a
famous farmer with q record which is
truly enyiable. Last year. he made
stwenty-one bales Of cotton on twelve
sores OF. land, and though he received
only four and three.quarser cents pound
for his cotton, he cleared on those twelve
acres, after paying all expenses Of culti-
walton, s51s.10. This record would be,
hard to match in the history of cotton
culture.

HOW 1T Is IN PALESTINE TODAY.

Contrasts are striking. Sometimes the
contrasts are so striking that they star
tie and bewilder. 1t is so in Palestine
to-day. The fancies that have always in
your thought of the land clustered
about every city and every hill and the
actual scenes that you witness in that
land to-day present one of the strangest
contrasts to be found on earth. What
you see and what you do not see as you
wander now through Jerusalem's mar
row streets will be told in graphic way
by Rev Otis w. Barker in his lecture at
the Town hall On Wednesday evening,
October 30, Iii is hoped that Newtown
will then be represented by one of the
largest audiences that have gathered
here in recent years.

MICHAEL RYAN HAS A FALL.

Election night Michael Ryan, who
makes his home at Botsford, met with a
mishap down at Sandy Hook. He was
sitting on the iron railing at the east
side of the bridge, when he lost his bal
ance and fell over backward and down
to the rocks and water below, distance
of some II or Is feet. Several saw the
incident and were quickly at the scene
and helped draw him back up to the
walk. Besides few bruises, he was un-
hurt and was able to be around the
Hook on Tuesday.

beautiful old town. 1t proves, at least,
that the people need not be in political
subsection to the bosses, even in New
town. Drive down stake right here,
and let it not be moved. 1t marks new
era In the history of this community.
The majority of the voters of this town
are not the vassals nor slaves of the
saloon, or machine, or even of the party,
when the good name and common well
fare of the public is in question. The
majority of the men of this town are
free men, and if they did not know their
power before, last Monday revealed it to
them. 1t was n most significant and
encouraging event, and while we did
not whally succeed, there is every reason
for rejoicing that so much was accom-
plished.
Let us thank God and take courage
and resolve to do more and better next
time. For one / wish to express deep
sense of gratitude to the citizens of the
democratic party for the noble stand
they have taken in the great cause of
better government. | am sorry to have
to say that l wish that more of the vot.
cts of my own party could have been
persuaded to drop their shibboleth, that
they might have "come up to the help of
the Lord; to the help of the Lord
against the mighty" Citizenship must
be more than any party or all parties.

So far this season our sales
in jackets, wraps and furs are
double last years. There's
just one way to keep them SO,
viz, to keep on getting the
best thing and selling them
for the least money. We can't
imagine why anybody should
go elsewhere for a cloak when
we have the widest choice and
the lowest prices as well, and
when everybody knows that
she can bring back whatever,
on closer examination, she
doesn't want at the price.
Anyone can see what we are
doing in silks and dress goods
by the way this part Of the
store is crowded every fair day
1t is the variety of goods
which brings a crowd; and va
riety goes with low prices.
We have the variety, and
here are some of the low pric-
es:
Figured taffeta silks in a great variety OF
colors and combinations. 55c, 75c and 81.

All wool French serge, 45 inches wide at SOC,
worth 70, black and colors.
Plaid dress goods, 81 inches wide at Toe,
worth 1 25.
Write us for samples of
something or other. We sell
goods on condition that they
may be returned if not satisfac-
tory when examined at home.
More new dress trimmings,
Jet and shoulder ornaments,

broidered chiffons and span
gled silk muslins, pearl and
