HOW TO GET RID OF WEEDS,

Any species OF weeds can be subdued and
controlled within the limits of an ordinary
farm, and, unless the value of the land is
low from other causes may be profitably
undertaken. If the weed is an annual,
reproducing itself from seeds only it may
be subjected by preventing seed production.
For permanent pastures, lawns and road
sides, this is quite sufficient if persistently
followed. In cultivated fields the land
thus seeded should first be burned over to
destroy as many as possible of the ccds on
the surface. 1t may then he plowed
shallow, so as not to bring the remaining
seeds too deeply in the soil. The succeed
ing cultivation, not deeper than the plow-
ing, will induce the termination of seeds in
this lay er of soil and kill the seedlings as
they appear. The land may then be plowed
deeper and the cultivation repeated until
the weed seeds are pretty thoroughly
cleared out to as great depth as the pillow
ever reaches Below that depth, eight to
ten inches, very few weed seeds can germ-
nate and push Il shoot to the surface. A
thousand seedlings may be destroyed by
the cultivator with less effort than Il single
mature plant can be destroyed, and every
seeding killed means one less weed seed in
the soil

A FAIR INFERENCE.

1t is undeniable that actions often speak
louder than words. An usurious money
lender, who had for sometime collected an
eXtortionate interest from . debtor, sent
his collector to the man as usual, one day.
The collector returned and reported to his
employer that he could not collect the
money.
do you mean to say that the man de.
clared to you that he wouldn't pay the
interest?' the usurcr demanded furiously
HE didn't declare so in so many words
but he gave me to understand So
GLOW did he give you to understand so?

JAPANESE MANNERS IN AMERICA

The japanese have many nice qualities
and some great ones. They are clean, they
are polite, and apparently they are very
gentle and very brave. They are said to be
exceedingly neat, too, and to be bounti-
fully endowed with that sense of propriety,
a defective development of which ac-
counts for much of the rubbish in
American street car travel. They GER
tainly beat us in good many things, and
not unrpasonably their example is much
held up to us nowadays for emulation.
Intelligent foreigners who have observed US
closely have declared that we are the rudest
and the kirdest people in the world OF
course it is a pity that we are not more
universally courteous; that our children
are not demure and orderly like the Japan
csc children; that we throw papers into the
street and drop peanut-shells and orange
peels on the floors of our public convey
ances. OF course it is pity that we are
not more like the japanese in many parti-
culars; but, for my part, ! make bold to
confess that American manners, with all
their defects, are better suited to my
American taste than Japanese manners
with all their gentle PROJECTIONS.
American manners are not nearly as good
as they should be, not nearly as good as
one may hope they may become, but that
,Japanning would profit them is not so GER
tain as it looks at first eight, even if it did
mot involve much greater amount of self
obliteraton doubtless more apparent than
actual than the American temperament
could endure or has any desire to attain to.
The amelioration of our national demeanor
must rather be sought in an increased and
enlightened self-control Joined to strength
ened self-respect. If we ever do become
civilized it will be first at the heart and
afterward at the rind.-From "The Point
of View," in the July Scribner.

ENLARGING A MILL.
TEN THOUSAND MORE SPINDLEs.
Result of the Annual Meeting Of the
Stockholders and Directors OF
the Columbia Mills Co.

OF all the enterprises started in the
South in recent years perhaps none
have been more eminent than the Col
umbia mills, the 100000 enterprise
on the canal, established with eastern
capital; the big mill which is manu-
featuring what is conceded to be the
finest grade of duck in the United
States; the mill which is the only one
OF it's kind in the country using elec-
trical power.
The annual meeting of the stockhol-
ders of the company was held in Col
umbia last week. The old board of
directors were reelected. The pre-
sent officers were all reelected except
that Mr.. A. F. Sortwell was elected to
succeed his father, who died during
the pastye as vice president.
The stockholders found that the mill
had met with great success financially,
and that it was putting on the market
the highest grades of duck of any mill
in the country.
It was decided to place the machin-
cry for the operation of 10000 more
spindles in the mill as fest as possible.
This additional machinery is being
manufactured with fast rapidity. It
is hoped that by the fall the 10000
new spindles can be running. At pre-
sent the mill is running twenty-four
hours day, employing a night and
day force. When the new machinery
is added-Mr. Oliver says the mill will
be employing between 500 and 500
operatives.

Interesting Sessions Of the Epworth
League.

tn. Epworth League was in session
at Charleston Friday and Saturday.
The League is doing good work for
the Methodist Church. There are
now thirty seven leagues in active oper-
alton and they are doing much to in
terest the younger folks in the work
of the ehureh~as xel-as- general
literary matters. The Epworth Lea
que is very much to the Methodist
church what the Y. NJ G. A. is to the
general public. At Saturdays session
the first matter taken up and consid-
cred at considerable length was how to
get the most good out of the organiza-
ton. When the reports of the various
leagues were called for it was develop
ed that there were thirty-seven in the
State and they were doing fine work.
A resolution was introduced and unau-
imonsly adopted relating to the pro-
posed orphanage. It is
"Resolved, That we, the Epworth
League State Conference of the South
Carolina Methodist church, express
our highest appreciation of the efforts
that are being made for the establish
ment and maintenance of an orphan
age to be called the Epworth Orphan
age of the South Carolina Conference,
Methodist Episcopal Church, South. "
During the morning the following
officers were elected President, Prof.
b. n. Snyder; first vice-presidert, DR..
J. D. S. Fairey, of Orangeburg; Sec
ond vice-president, W. Hampton
Jones, of Charleston; third vice presi-
dent, C. NJ. Hurst, Jr., of Sumter;

bia; treasurer, Miss Ellen Stanley, Of
Columbia.
Executive committee: J. Fl. Carlisle
Jr., Spartanburg; Miss Katie Ruther-

Railroad Tax Assessment.

The State board Of railroad equaliza-
ton has finished its work. In the vast
majority Of instances the presentassess-
ments were left alone. The only
changes for the present are: Manchester
and Augusta, increased from $4,000 to
$4,000; South Carolina and Georgia,
increased from $3.50 to $4,000;
Cberaw and Chester, decreased from
$4,000 to $4,000.
The board announces that all parties
who want to be heard as to changes IN
the present assessment can do SO on
the 10th of the month. 1t is expected
that number of the roads will try
and have the present assessment
reduced. The 30th of the month has
been set aside for the hearing of the
arguments in the matter of the Three
C's assessment. The railroad people
and the county officials will be heard
at that time.

Judge whether they were right or wrong.
We are certainly not called on to admit that
we were in the wrong, and every brave man
who met US in battle would justly despise us
were we to do so. The failure Of cause
does not necessarily prove that it was an un-
lust one. nor can the denial Of truth estab-
lish falsehood. When the torture wrung a
recantation of the truth from Galilee die the
earth cease to revolve on its axis? Did the
river which swept the ashes OF Huss to the
sea bury in its waves forever the truths be
had proclaimed? When our Divine Master
perished on the cross, did the doctrines ior
which He died die with Him?
While we recognize all the obligations I'M
posed upon us by the results OF the war, we
certainly are not called on to abjure the set
tied convictions of a lifetime: to forget all the
honorable. glorious memories and traditions
of the past, and to cover ourselves with
shame By defaming the memory of our Pc
triotic dead. Though we have lost much,
we can at least maintain our self-respect and
preserve our honor, so that we can bcqueattt
TO our children fair name and unblemlshed
honor While accepting all the legitimate
consequences Of our defea., we claim the
right to justify ourselves, to vindicate our
motives and to honor our dead. By no other
means can we preserve our self respect OF
gain that of mankind. By no other means
can we escape the doom which awaits the
people who sacrifice principle forsubsecvient
expediency; who abandon their ancient viz
tues to adopt the vices of their conquerors.
and who are willing to barter freedom Tor
gilded servitude. To the State that sells her
birthright, no day Of redemption can ever
dawn.

The Press Association Meeting.

The executive committee of the State
Press Association is working vigorous
" to have pleasant and profitable
meeting of the Association IN Sumter
this year. The date is Wednesday,
May 80. The indications DOW are that
they will be successful. Qultea num-
Der Of the quill drivers have expressed
their intention to be present at the
meeting, and an interesting programme
has been arranged. The Northern
trip has been definitely decided, and
promises to be most enjoyable one.
The committee earnestly desires that
every paper in the State will be repre-
sented at the annual meeting, and it is
also desired that as many Will 60 on
the excursion as can we'll do so. The
people of Sumter are making elabo-
rate arrangements to entertain the ed
itors in royal fashion, and those who
attend will never regret it.
One of the features of the meeting
will be the annual address to the Asso-
citation by the Hon. Clark Howell, edi-
tor of the Atlanta Constitution. A
meeting of the executive committee
was held last evening at Wright's Hc-
tel. There were present President +.
II. Aull, Secretary c. G. Langston
and n. G. Gonzales, II. G. Osteen and
G.. P. Browne.
It was decided that the excursion
party would leave Sumter on the even
ing of May 81, and go to Richmond
and stop over there, and from there to
Washington, and returning come by
Norfolk
President Anil will give further in
formation in regard to this matter IN
few days, aud in the meantime hopes
to hear from everyone who desires to
take this trip as soon as possible.

PROBABLY A TEST CASE.
A Dispensary Constable Ruled for Com
tempt In Violating Judge Simon
toms Order.


In the United States Circuit Court
at Charleston an affidavit was filed by
L. J. Bird that Constable Beach had
seized two gallons of whiskey from him
which be had just received via the
Southern Express Company for his own
use, as he was taking the same from the
Express Office to his house.
Judge Simonton thereupon issued an
order to Beach requiring him to show
cause why he should not be attached
for contempt. Beach filed a return
denying the jurisdiction of the Court
and claiming the right to seize under
the Dispensary Act. Whereupon Judge
Simonton sent him to jail and fined
$500. Beach is in custody of the
marshal and therefore ''constructively"
in Jail, although really not SO.
It is understood, inssmuch as Assist
ant Attorney General Townsend is in
the city and appeared for Beach, that
the object of this proceeding is to
make it q habeas corpus case and so
take the matter before the Supreme
Court with view of having decision
from that body on the constitutionality
Of the dispensary law.

No Recent Dispensary Seizures.

A dispatch from Charleston says:
While the liquor shipmentsa are ste lily
going out of the dispensary and plenty
of liquor is coming in there is one
thing that is sadly deficient, and that
is the absence of ''seized stuff" " That
always made considerable item with
the dispeusary, apd after it was bottled
up and put on the market as econ
trabaud" it brought right snug little
amount into the dispensary Golfers.
ALI of this looks as if it is at an end.
Not a single package came to the dis
pensary today as having been seized,
and the c. ,sity shop of the dispen-
sary, with the boxes of bacon, the cans
of supposed tomatoes, the fake barrels
of vestal oil, will have no more curios
to be in their company.
The dispensary authorities are say
ing nothing and Saving wood. They
believe that the system will continue
provided the only competition that has
to be met will be from those who are
able to bring liquor into the State for
their own use, and the order of Judge
Simonton is not taken advantage Of
and used as a blind for the "speak
easies" to get their liquor into the
State.
BLIND TIGERS TO BE CLOSELY WATCHED.
One of the members Of the board Of
control said that it was his opinion that
those who wanted to bring liquor into
the State for their own use ought to be
allowed to do so. But, said he, "the
State ought to spend thousands of del
lars if it is necessary to seud several
"blind tiger" managers to the Pen
itentiary," and that would, he thought,
have the effect of keeping of the
ssblind tiger" epidemic that threatens.
It is plain that the State will from now
on devote its attentions very largely
to the "tigers" and changes OF venue.
iniunctions. contempt proceedings and
such actions are to be expected.
pIsPENsARY PRICES MAY BE REDUCED.
It is also likely that the prices on
some of the better grades of liquors
will be reduced. The cheaper grades
it is held are being sold about as low
as can be afforded, apd then there are
not very maoy who use the 80 "stuf"
who will want to make preliminary
cash outlay before getting the liquor.
It is very much a case of wanting the
liquor before it is bought.
