Hints to Farmers.

To the current number of The South.
ern Stases Farm Magazine. DR.. j. B
Kiilebrew writes on topic that is Of
peculiar interest to the southern fsrmer,
viz the character aud treatment ei
soils.
That which will especially engage the
South -Carolina farmers attention
is DE-. Killebrew's statement With re-
gard to the drifted sandy and clayey
soils that constitute the greater part OF
this state He say that ss the cowpea
..saios its most luxuriant growth on
these soils, it can be relied on for ferti-
lizing purposes
In addition to cowpess, commercial
fertilizers, cotton seed, cotton seed meal
and hulls may also be used to advan.
tage. DR. Killebrew states in this con
necsion that the habit Of rarely break
lag cp the fields intended Coz cotton
With other than one horse plow has
been fruitful of many badsyScts, as
shallo~ blowing. especially on slopes,
induces ,be rapid washing away of soil.
When ibis ehsllow piowiEg is carried
on for some time. even on level areas.
the sop surface becomes exhausted
when there may be plenty of plant food
at the lower level.
As sandy soils do not retain their fer.
.ility as teoaciously 3 clayey soils do,
sbe writer emphasizes the importance
of repeated fertilization, aud in this
connection observes that if peas were
used more generally the sandy soils
would no. require such large amour.
Of high priced fersilisipg material to
produce equal results On rolling
lands, D, Killebrew advises our farm
ers to practice the system of horizontili-
zatiop, by which is meant the laying
of of rows with the contour Of the
fields go as to make them carry of the
surplus water.
This latter practice is. however. gen.
orally observed nowadays by all iuseili-
gent farmers, snd, therefore, Dr.. Kill

JAPAN NO LONGER
STANDS OPPOSED.
She Will Not Resist Our An.
nexation of Hawaii.ss - =.
THE TWO GOVERNMENTS
AGREE.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Jspan has
been removed as ALI element in the
opposition to the consummation o,
the annexation of the Hawaiian ISL
ands by the United States. This re-
suit has been attained by the conclu-
sion of an agreement between our
government and that Of Japan, as
represented by Minister Toru Hoshi,
which by practically settling the
status Of the japanese in Hawaii re-
moves the only substantial difference
that has existed between the two
governments.
The japanese government for its
part announced some time ago that it
no longer cared to interpose any OBJ
lection to annexation in Hawaii based
on principle. Since that time the cor
respondence between Minister Hoshi
and the state department has been di.
rected to a satisfactory settlement oi
the status of the resident japanese 10
Hawaii and this last point has now
been adjusted, so far as the executive
branch of our government is capable
of acting independently, the agree
ment being reduced to the shape of a
written memorandum
The exact basis of this agreement
has not yet been made public, but
the general scope Of it is understood
to be a recognition of the right Of
the japanese in Hawaii to claim
equal rights with Japanese in the
United States after the taking effect
of the treaty with Japan proclaimed
in 1895.
This document, which has not been
generally taken into account in the
consideration of means for adjusting
the questions that have arisen over
the status of japanese in Hawaii
goes into effect in July next year,
and among other things it confers
upon the Japanese within the ter
ritory Of the United States all Of the
rights accorded to the citizens of the
most favored nation, which. Of course
carries with it rights of naturalization
and the exercise of the rights OF
franchise.
Presuming that annexation is effect
ed, the japanese in Hawaii will, in
1899, have the same rights as those
in the present limits Of the United
States. All that remains to be fixed
is the status of the japanese during
the time that must elapse between
the ratification Of the annexation
treaty and the beginning of the
operation Of the japanese treaty Of
1899
1nasmuch as the pending annexa.
ton treaty provides for the appoint
ment of commission to visit the
islands and prepare such legislation
as may be necessary to consummate
the amalgamation Of the territories,
this last question can easily be ad.
justed along with other details in the
bill to be reported to congress

Appropriations Refused.

1t is certain that the State is not dis
posed to support q creditable militia.
The appropriations for the militia have
been for years pitifully small, and it
has been impossible to maintain a first
rate body Of "ci.izeo soldiers. 4" Where
one military company has lived and
thrived. dezsn have failed. To sup
port military system. even volunteer
militia. requires considerable amount
of money aud the fact is plaiu that
South Carolina has little disposition to
pay the price It is very important,
urgently important, enat the State
should have militia force. but she
prospec. Of having it is not bright. A
few organizations here and there will
contiDue to flourish but the whole body
must languish for want Of State aid
and encouragement
Ia view of this, We do cot know that
the refusal OF the house Of representa-
tives to appropriate a SUN Of money
for military inspections is to be con-
demned. Il is an open question
whether or DOT the entire military ap-
preparation is not waste Fifty
thousand dollars year from the state
judiciously expended would result in
giving the state a fne body Of we'll
equipped mili.iamen, but With ten
Thousand dollars it is useless to hope
for anything. In Charleston and one
or .wo other towns local pride will
maintain creditable companies but
shese will be exceptional. In general
there ia little to hope for the South
Carolina militia.
The failure Of the house to appro-
pirate $1,000 asked by the State board
Of health can scarcely be defended.
Nothing is 80 Important to the people
as health and this is time when sci
enoe is making rapid advance in saoi-
tation. The circumstance that "doc-
tors differ" should have co weight with
the legislators It was very properly
said by some member 10 the debate
tha. medicine does not claim to be an
exec. science but it is pone tue less o

eDoe is going forward aud the methoes
of preventing diseases are becoming

dollar spent By the general assembly
for the support of State board of
health, even if the dollars should
amount to $4,000 o year. would be
veil spent. When we remember that

Why the Money Was Not
There.

There.
II now appears that all the talk
about the $4,000 check given by
the superintend-ns of the penitentiary
amounts to nothing Statements given
below make the whole matter per-
fectly clear
Yesterday Col Neal gave the
press the following statement
notice from the mo,ning papers
that reference Was made in the house
of representatives on yesterday to
statement made upon the floor that
the peDitentiary check for $1O.0 900
given to the State treasurer had not
been paid
In reference to this matter, the
facts are as follows At the time of
the meeting of the board of directors
on Jan 3. last, which meeting was
held for the purpose of, making an
annual report to the general assem-
bly,, it was decided to give the State
treasurer $4,000; upon this point I
did not folly agree with the board,
for the reason that we did not at that
time have sufficient funds in bank to
pay the obligations of the institution
including the $4,000 borrowed from
the sinking fund commission to pay
for the Reed place.
We had sold the cotton crop of the
State, but the cotton had not been
delivered aud paid for The check
for $4,000 was issued, however, the
board desiring to include that pay
ment in the annual report. The
check was delivered to the State
treasurer with the request that it be
held for few days until we could
get pay for cotton sold and make
-ther collections due the peniten-
tiary. which collections have been
made and the check for $4,000
has this day been paid, leaving
$4,000 now to our credit in the bank.
Strict business methods would not
warrant the issuance of this check,
but the board of directors knowing
the money was in sight, desired to
include this amount in the annual re.
port, hoping thereby to help tho tax
payers this much. The Legislature
would convene on the l1th of the
month. it was necessary to- include
this amount in the report for the tax
payers to get the benefit of it this
year. The payment of this check
wipes out every obligation against
the State penitentiary without it's
management having borrowed a dol
lar from any source in the past two
years. l desire to say further that
the penitentiary is in the best con.
ditian financially and otherwise than
at any time for the past Eve years.
and if DO unfriendiy Legislation is
had and 30 misfortune over.akes it,
we will be able in the future to give
the State treasury $4,000 or more
annually desire to fcrtber say
that no unkind feeling is entertained
against sn5 member cfthe legislature
who has felt inclined TO inquire into
this matter. I am 10 charge of
public institution and realize the fact
that every member of the general as.
sembly has a right to know its fiuan-
cia! standing 10 order to intelligently
guide them in the discharge of their
duties l am not doing secret
business. but stand ready at all simes
10 have the light turned on.

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you tried
