Care of Cemeteries should be Enforced
IAN Association Formed 20 Care for
Christ Church Cemetery.
1t is hoped that the airing in the city
papers, as we'll as local, last week of the
neglected condition of our town cemeteries,
which came of a newspaper reporter
visit, will rot be lost upon our toWnspeo-
pie There was no eXaggeration, not only
of Benjamin Carpenters grave but OF
many others. By a recent law passed eV-
cry town shall appropriate annually sum
not less than $40 or more than $500 for
the care of town cemeteries not provided
for by an association. Why not enforce it?
An association for the care of Christ
church cemetery has recently been formed
II not being a town cemetery, the work of
keeping it enclosed and in order belongs to
the lot owners. At the present time about
100 lots are taken up. OF these about
one-half belong to non-resdents, people
living at a distance who seldom return to
know the neglected condition of their faith
ers and mothers graves. Realizing the
need of securing a fund for the care OF
these lots. as we'll as those belonging TO
people in town, the work was begun the
past winter, by few of our residents, OF
soliciting money for this purpose. The APP
peal has not been in vain except in few
cases, and to all those who have so kindly
given their support to this much-needed
work the thanks of the association are
heartily extended. The association mas
been formed according to the laws OF the
state of Vermont. These trustees were
chosen: Joel Flagg, jr., G. A. Boydeni,
VIM. Tyler, Woodburn Franklin, Frank
Thayer; secretary, John L. Gale; treas
urer, Joel Flagg, jr.

fCharlcston News & Courier.

We are truly glad to note that
the Spartanburg Chicken Show
has caught the att. ntion of the
GreGnviile News and enlisted its
active interest in the industry
which the exhibits represent.
In an short editorial on "ChlCk
ems and Eggs" it says with
equal enthusiasn and truth :
"The markets are never glut>
ted with chickens and eggs.
There is always a ready sale for
them some where, aud i'll these
days of quick transportation
they can be shipped from South
Carolina to any point i'll the
United States or Europe. Not
OH the globe is there any b. ttel
,limate for the production Of.
poultry than South Carolina's.
There are q thousand reasons
Why South Carolina sh ull pro
luce for export millions of do
uestic TO sis, and one Of them is
tlat there is good money i'll it.
If halt dozen South Carolina
farmers, tired Of Rising FIVE
cent Gotten, would turu tile,n~
selves entirely to the pro1uc
ton of chickens and eggs, devo-
tllg all their energies and intel
igenCe to the work we believe
that there is AL opportunity be-
fore its people to acquire much
again thereby.
BY the way, can the Charlie, \
ton News & Courier, which as
an agricultural paper, is the
peer Of this or any other State,
tell IL precisely what it costs to
.aise chickens and mark ct 1hen?
And the same. as to eggs?"
We can and will. 1t costs
attention and a heap OF it. Eter-
nal vigilence, it is said, is tie
price of liberty, and it is the
same as to chickens, and as to
eggs. Some people have PEI
culiar attitude for raising cotton,
or corn, or cane, and it is the
same way again as to chickens
and eggs. But in all these cases
the peculiar attitude is at last
all aptitudc for paying partlcu,
lar attention, and a good deal OF
it, at the right times, and i'll the
right way, to the subject ii hand.
Nothing thrives on neglect ex>
cept weeds and wire grass per-
haps, and certainly chickens do
not. They. call for as much
good management as any other
fum crop, aud punish bad man

basis never has paid, and will
net pay. That fact has been
demonstrated so often that there
is no reed of further proof Of it.
And OH the other hand it has
been proved and concluslvely
that there is money and heap
of it, in t he chicken and egg

BUTTER WITHOUT A cow.
A Process Which Makes it From
Vegetables.

\ Baltimore inventor assert:
that he has discovered A process:
OF making butter direct from the
vegetables which constitute the
usual food Of cattle. Electricity
is the force employed, and ac-
cording to the Boston Herald,
the inventor evolved his process
from the discovery that the
peculiar characteristic traits of
different varieties of butter,
cheese, etc, were owing to two
general causes. One was the
kind of food on which the COW
was fed; the other was the kind
of mlCl ODE nOuTished at and by
the roots of the plant which
furnished the food to the COW.
He succeeded in producing
from the vegetable kingdom
oils which differed very.slightly
from those of the arimal king
dom. Having gone thus far, the
next step was to change the
vegetable oil by giving it the
same chemical constitution as
that possessed by the animal
article desired.
The secret in this part of the
process the inventor found to
consist in the fact that animals
and vegetable carbohydrates
strongly resemble each other.
The difference which are found
in oils are nearly all owing to
the nitrogenoug sheaths in
which the globules of oil are
contained. Thus to this sheath
is due the tal,owy smell of tal>
low, the mutton smell of mutton,
as we'll as all the rank oders Of
many vegetable oils.
