THE FARMERS WILL WIN.
The Cotton Trust Will be Fought to
a Finish.

The farmers of South Carolina will
never submit to the eXtortions of the
cotton tie trust if there is any way to
MAKE q winning fight against it. The
Farmers Alliance of this State has
taken the initiative in fighting that
trust, and it will be backed up by
every farmer Of the State, whether an
Allianceman Oh not, and the moral
support Of all the citizens, without re-
spect to their avocations. Col. d. p.
Duncan, manager Of the State Ex-
change, was entrusted by the Alliance
with management of this fight and he
is pushing it for all it Is worth. Col.
Duncan has received letters from q
number of citizens in various sections
OF the State telling him to go ahead
with the war Inc promising to back
him to the last ditch. One Of his COR
respondents, a gentleman who
one of the biggest merchandise stores
in the up co intry, suggested the use Of
cotton ropes as d substitute for the fiat
iron ties, but Colonel Duncan saws this
idea IL impracticable as ropes would
not stand the immense strain that is
put or the binding Of compressed bales,
and, moreover, the insurance compa-
mics would object to the use OF rope
and would not insure cotton bales
bound with it. OF course the farmers
canpot put their cotton up in such
shape that the insurance companies
would not write policies upon it.
Colonel Duncan is enthusiastic over
the idea to substitute wire ties for the
Hat iron ties whose price has been adj
yanced by the trust. He says that it is
his firm conviction that upon trial the
wire ties will be bound to be as good
as, II not better than, the flat iron ties
hitherto used exclusively. The kind
OF wire he proposes using requires g.
strain Of 1865 pounds to break it. Six
such ties around a bale will hold it till
the COWS come home. There Ia com
plant that heads Of bales frequently
burst open. Colonel Duncan saws two
wire tires could be put around the b les
l~engthwise and that even then the cost
Of the wire ties would be much less
than that of the Hat iron ties.
He thinks that tho wire ties can be
handled moro expedi0usly than the fiat
iron ties. The wire used will be an
nealed. Thus softened, it can be
quickly bent or twisted and vet loses
none OF its strength. The wire ties
will be furnished with loops at one
end, through which the straight end
can be run, and then doubled back and
twisted SO rs to hold firmly. This can
be done more quickly he THINKS than
buckles can be put upon the Hat ties.
Some OF the cotton factors of Charles
ton having expressed doubt as TO the
feasibility OF using wire ties, Colonel
Duncan says he expects to convince
them by an ocular demonstration. AS
o as he receives some samples Of the
wire tires, ne will hind q bale of cotton

Famine In Tonuuin.

Letters from Hanoi give a very
gloomy account of the state of famine
prevailing throughout the northern dis
tricts Of Tonquin. During tho last six
months there has been scarcely any rice
in the populous Lang-Son province, and
the people have been selling their stock
for any price they could get in order to
procure food. Want has driven the peas
ants to the verge of desperation, and
bands of lawless men not merely strip
such fields as are under cultivation, but
attack and plumber shops in the small
towns. Notwithstanding all this, many
deaths are reported daily from absolute
starvation, and worse is expected, as
there has been III harvest for two years
in the northern parts of Tonquin. BAG
Mini suffered in particular, first from
floods and then from drought. The local
papers are asking why rho French au-
thoritics, in face of these calamities,
have not fastened to begin the project
ed railway, Oh the embarkment Of which
alone 80, 900 or 40. 900 persons might
be given employment. 1t is computed
that Tonquin will need three good years
to recover from the effects of this fam

Lovers stiii.

His hair, as wintry snow, is white;
Her trembling steps are slow:
His eyes have lost their merry light,
Her cheeks their rosy glow;
Her hair has lost its tints of gold,
His voice no joyous thrill;
And yet, though feeble, gray, and old,
They're faithful lovers still.
Since they were wed, on lawn and lea,
Oft did the daisies blow,
And oft across the trackless sea
Did swallows come and go.
Oft were the forest branches bare,
And oft in gold arrayed;
Oft did the lilies scent the air,
The roses bloom and fade.
They've had their share of hopes and
fears,
Their share of bliss and bale,
Since first he whispered in her ears
A lovers tender tale.
Full many q thorn amid the flowers
Has lain upon their way;
They've had their dull November hours
AS well as days of May.
But, firm and true, through veal and woe
Through change of time and scene,
Through winters gloom, through sum
mer's glow,
Their faith and love have been.
Together hand in hand they pass
Serenely down life's hill,
In hopes one grave in church-yard
May hold them lovers still.

An Indiana loo Cavern.


One OF the mos remarkable natural
phenomena that have been discovered
in recent years has just been reported
in, the southwest corner of Brown conn
ty, Ind, neal the village of Evansville.
1t is q gave and is ON the farm of Billy
Moore.
At its entrance, which is completely
%overlapped by the trees, cold air is
plainly perceptible. The opening APP
pears not unlike a mine shaft long dis.
used, but the steep, rocky descent shows
nothing of an artificial construction.
The winding way leads to a cavern
which is fully so feet below tho surface.
This is like a broad, vaulted corridor,
and is known to the natives as the Dew
il's chamber. The air in this apartment
is neal the freezing point. From this
point quite a number Of halls lead off
in a confusing manner, but the one to
the ico vault is evident from the cold
blast which ZONES from it.
The descent in this natural corridor is
similar to the rocky decline at the en-
trance Of the cave, but not over a dozen
yards within the ice is plainly visible,
and farther OF it is thick Oh all sides,
like tho crust that is formed on the
pipes Of al ice plant. A little farther
on the descent entirely ceases, and here
the walls are frozen hard, like the
ground in the middle of tho winter.
Then the narrow way leads into a man.
moth chamber known as the ice vault.
This extends fully 100 feet. The ice
towers in q miniature mountain. 1t

l have known stubble ground bearing
coarse grass and weeds turned down
with success for wheat, and this with
out manure, the soil no very rich, and
for years cropped and reduced.
The point of Importance to be always
kept In view is the amount of vegetable
matter la the soil. in old worn out
land 1t is always more or less wanting,
and here it has the greatest effect, and
o comparatively small amount doing
much to increase the growth. i have
seen this lone In not q few cases, and 1t
has always been satisfactory. Rye and
peas are the plants mostly used, and
m.llet, whore the ground is not poor, is
recommended. Any quick growing
rich plant will do. With rye and peas
no mistake can be made, as they are of
quick growth and rich in fertilizing
material. The pea is best adapted to
summer growth, to follow after wheat
or rye. AS 1t is q faster grower q larger
amount of material is secured TO be
turned down in the fall or spring. An
other thing with this grain is Of spcci-
al value ; it is adapted TO poor or run
which. where it has its full effect, more
than doubles the growth, and hence
should always be used for this purpose.
In such cases nothing approaches it for
fertilizing land cheaply in a short time,
and no time is better than after the
grain crop, to fill the idle gay.
Where the time of growth is shorter,
as after late crops, rye is the plant,
growing on till winter, and early and
rapidly in the spring, affording a rich
aud abundant mass Of matter to turn
down on land not too much impover-
ished, otherwise n must be used,
and 1t is q paying operation where the
time will allow OF its application; the
manure instead of being FILTERED away,
is retained in the soil. 1t should be the
study of the farmer how best he may
fill up this gap Of the seasonal great
advantage long neglected. Much can
be done, and in various ways, and it
should be made a regular work on the
farm. There Ia a wide range of treat
mont, from simple narrowing the land
and sowing the seed, as on sandy soil, to
moro elaborate working and manuring
which clay requires. For experiment
take light soil, harrow we'll, weighting
the harrow If necessary; sow peas, us
ing gypsum for manure. This is soon
done with little cost. Omit the expe-
riment or part of the field so as to see
the difference in the effect if any. Let
the experiment cover several seasons in
succession.

IMPORTANT TO ALL VOTERS.
The Registration Books are to be
Opened Three Days in October
Der.

1t has been thought all along that
there would be only two more occa-
sions upon which the registration books
could be opened for the registration of
voters in this State-the first Mondays
respectively in August and September,
when they are kept open for one week.
The law has been carefully examined
in regard to the matter, and below is
given q statement from the assistant
attorney general which shows that the
law allows several more days than has
been supposed, and that the books are
not opened on the days indicated the
whole registration might be invalid.
Here is Assistant Attorney General
Townsend's statement: .
"The question is asked by one of the
boards Of registration whether the
books of registration shall be opened
in the month of October. On Novem-
Der 3 the general election will be held,
and the registration law requires the
books 20 be closed 30 days before the
election. The first Monday in October
will be the fifth day Of the month, and
there will not be 30 days between that
and the general election.
1.-The constitution provides For
the first registration to provided for
under this constitution the books shall
be kept open for at least six consecu-
tive weeks, and thereafter from time
to time at leastone week in each month
up to 30 days next preceding the first
election to be held under this copsti-
tuition
"Section 7 of the registration act
provides: The registration books
shall be opened in each county on the
first Monday sin April, 1896, and kept
open for six consecutive weeks from
that time at the court house. They
shall be opened also at the court house
on the first Mondays in June, July,
August and September, 1896, and kept
open continuously for one week in each
of said months, and in the month of
October, in the same year, up to 30
days next preceding the election, and
the same shall be closed before the
general election OF 1885,
ut is a mandatory provision of the
constitution that the books shall be
closed 80 days before the general
election in 1896. The act carries out
this provision. 1t also carries out the
provision of the constitution, that the
books, after they have at first been
kept open six weeks continuously,
shall be opened from time to time at
least n week in each month until 30
days before the general election. 1t
provides that in June, July, August
and September they shall bo kept
open one week, commencing on the
first Mondays, but that in October they
shall be kept open until 30 days before
the election, without requiring them
to be opened IN the first Monday in
t7"' month. The manifest purpose Of
II , to provide for the very
{ ns uv~rsy which will happen in 1896,
and to comply with the mondate of the
constitution to have the books opened
in the month Of October.
"The boards of registration must
open the registration books on the LIST
day OF October, 1896, and keep them
open until 80 days before the general
election in 1896"

LETTING LAND LIE IDLE.
An Experienced Farmer Gives Good
Reasons for Occupying Land All The
Time With Growing Crops.

oocNA
casons for Occupying Land All the
Time With Growing Crops.
Country Gentleman.
Farmers are beginning to sec the ad-
vantage of occupying their grain fields
with some growing crop after the grain
Is harvested. Land in a state of nature
Is occupied the season through. There
is no rest, " as is held necessary bv
some, with cultivated soil, for the rea-
son that no effort is required O rgrowth.
Practice has demonstrated this long
ago, where land has been titled annual
~ for generations, bearing as good crops
now as at first, n better where the
lane has been properly taken care OF.
Ihe practice OF keeping the ground un-
occupied the latter part of the season
from the time the grain crop is remov-
ed, has nothing at all to recommend it.
and much to oppose. The land is not
only idle, but there is a. chance for
weeds and coarse grasses to grow and
rlpen their seeds, especially in moist
weather, which sometimes occurs in,the
latter part of the season. This. in a
large proportion Of land, is q great
source OF evil, as u fields ahuudantly
attest. To have the ground exposed
during b heat and drOutn OF August
and Septemhe., Is not likely to benefit
1T. On the other hand, to cultivate and
harrow 1T is q benefit. no doubt more
than paying for the trining exppns of
the work, which Is soon accomplished.
If the plow is needed on account Of
grass and weeds, all the greater will
be the benefit.
immediately after the ground Is
worked when yet moist, SOW it to some
crop SO as To get 1T started in case of
drouth. During the rest of the season
the growth will be drawing fertility
from the atmosphere, and shading the
ground no doubt furthers fertility.
This crop turned down in the fall ratn-
err lightly, will afford an excellent seed
bed In the spring, with the certainty
OF an increased yield in the crop, and
the land will be cleaner and In better
condition. This practice continued
yearly viii be q constant benefit, re-
curing less manure and the vegetable
mineral thus added will further favor
fertility by retention and chemical ef-
feet upon the mineral matter of the
soil. Clay soil will also be less tenaci-
GUS and hard. The effect is somewhat
like yearly turning down sod, with the
advantage of more speedy decomposi-
ton, anu benefit TO the crop that fol-
lows.
1hO nu'ahOoSc boro ONSr green ma
nurinR proper is that it does not inter-
fere with the regular cropping OF the
season. The earlier crops, like wheat
and rye, being removed, u large mass
of vegetable material may be grown
ana td47ed down in time Tor the fall
sowinRlof winter grain. For this pur-
pose thlWe is P Jably nothing better
than tks pea, which will readily rot
and ailS rd pabulum for a good growth

ing snlieien8iy compact by spring for
this 'ain. especially in clay coils.
