Judge Beck has ordered a special term
of Pike superior court for the first Mon
day in June to try Taylor Delk. Delk has
been twice tried and twice condemned to
be hung. The supreme court granted
new trial after the first hearing on the
ground that his leading counsel could not
reach the place of trial In time. Judge
Beck gave a new trial on the second hear

THE ODOR OF GOOD LIVING.

There is plenty TO eat and good
cheer with it in at least one part Of
the moral vineyard. The AbbevilIe
Is. CO Chronicle says:
"Hog brains, fresh sausage, back
bones and spare ribs. Everybody
knows that these things mean Tegu
lar hog killing time and that is the
sort of time our people have been hav-
ing for six weeks or more, except when
interrupted by intervals OF warm
weather. More hogs have been
slaughtered in this section than in any
previous year, and nearly as many
more remain to be killed. 1t is won
derful where they all come from.
Does this not look like good times?
OF course some men will still cry
'hard times bat does anyone remem-
ber a time when they did not? There
never was year when it was not hard
shedding for somebody, and there will
never be year when the pathway to
prosperity will be creased Tor every
body But as matter Of fact the far
mers generally are in better condi.
ton to-day than they have been at
any previous time iHr years. They are
practically out of debt, all have some
ready cash, and with well-illed smoke
houses, barns and granerIes, the pro-

Or, better still, rake over nlCcl,
the plat to be burned, then place
down poles from two to four inches
in diameter, three and one half to four
teet apart, over the entire surface to be
burned. Then place brush thlckly
over the plat and weight down with
wood, over which throw leaves, trash,
or other combustlble material; over
this sprinkle kerosene oil, and set the
whole on fire and burn at one opera
ton.
But any mode of burning the plat
will suffice, provided that it is effectu-
ally done After the plat has been
burned and has cooled, rake off the
large Goals and brands, but let the
ashes remain, as they are essentially a
sirst-class manure. Then coulter over
the plat deeply, or break with grub

not to bring the subsoil to the surface
and remove all roots and tufts. Ma
nure from the stable, hog pen or
poultry house, or some reliable COM
mercial fertilizer, should be chopped
into and thoroughly incorporated with
the soil while preparing the bed to be
sown. Experience has demonstrated
that it is better to use both.

plants have pretty well covered the
surface of the bed, remove the canvas
during the day, and only replace it
when there is danger Of frost or to
keep off the flea bugs. There Is the
advantage Of having earlier plants 10y
this mode and perfect security against
the flea bug, which will repay for the
additional cost Of raising at least a
portion of the plants needed for the
crop by this safe mode.
But there is no question that open
air beds are cheapest. And where
this mode of raising plants is practca
ble, it is grehtly to be preferred for

in open air stand 'ransplanting better
and usually grow off quicker than
plants raised in hot bed or cold frame.
! On the selection Of proper locality
for plant bed, and It's preparation
largely depends the timely supply oI
strong, healthy plants, without which
it is impossible to raise crop of fine
grade. The planter, therefore, cannot
be too careful in choosing a sheltered
spot, NEITHER too wet nor too dry, as
rich naturally as can be found, and To-
Gated so as to possess different degrees

Following is taken from treatise on
tobacco culture written by the late
Maj. r. L. Ragland, of Halifax county,
Va, a recognized authority on the
subject
There are TWO modes for raising
plants, in hot bed or cold frame, one or
The other of which has preference &C
cording to locality--the former being
more practiced North of forty degrees
latitute, while the latter is preferred
South of that line. We will here give
both, that planters may choose for
themselves:
PREPARING THE PLANr BED.
For hot bed, select a Southern or
Southeastern exposure, sheltered on the
| North, dig and shovel out space five
by twelve feet or any required length,
to the depth of eighteen inches. Place
straw to the depth of three or four
inches in the bottom of this trench,
and cover with fresh, unrotted manure
from the stable to the depth of six or
eight inches; then cover the manure
with soil (woods mould is best) five
inches deep. How to cover the bed
with canvas will be presently de-
scribed.

plants, and SO does compost made
with selected chemicals, stable manure
and rich moist earth. The latter
when composted in time is the bes,
and surest. Beware of using manure
containing grass seed. The judgment
of the planter must guide him in the
amount Of fertilizing material to be
applied at this stage; but 1t is we'll to
remind him that the tobacco plant
rarely responds to homeopathic doses
Of plant food, but that the alllopathiC
usage suits it better.
TINE OF SOWING SEED.
The time for sowing varies with the
latitude, variety, season. Between the
parallels Of So and 4oo North lati-
lude, comprising the great tobacco
belt, beds may be sown any time be
tween the Isl Of January dnd the 2otn
March, and the sooner the better for
bright grades, which ought TO be
planted early TO mature, ripen and
yellow, preparatory to being cured
early in the fall. The most success
ful curlngs are usually planted out IN
May, butt June, planting usually does
bes, IN heavy dark grades. The plan
ter will consult his interest by sowing
at proper time to suit tie grade he
desires 10 raise. Plants set out after
the 10th Of July rarely pay for grow
ing and handling, and If not planted
| b, that time, il Will be wise 10 plant
| the hills III peas, potatoes, or some
thing else.
Sow at the rate Of tablespoonful
OF seed, which is about half an ounce
on every fifty square yards at first SOW
ing, and later resCw with a heaping
teaspoonful over the same surface, to
secure good stand. Injury by fros,s
or bugs may require third or fourth
sowing. Sow little thick rather than
too thin 10 'reet contingencies and
secure good stand IN time.
The best way TO SOW the seed is TO
mix them thoroughly with a fertilizer
| or dry ashes, an0 SOW once regularly
over the bed, reservlng seed enougf
