When the $500 acres Of corn are up
and ready rs two-horse oultivators are
put into it. The point in the first
cultivation one way and in the second
the other way, is to get as close as
possible to the corn; but after the
pains to place it there no plant must
be left covered by a clod Of earth.
The field hand must uncover it, and a
foreman on horseback behind each
twenty menis held responsible for his
crews work. In the third and final
cultivation the earth is thrown up
against the plant, the small weeds in
the hill being smothered and the large
ones being pulled by hand. It will be
Of interest to merchants and to theo-
logical professors to learn that it rs
not the weed in the row, but the one
in the hill, that mars the beauty Of
the balance sheet.
The corn being now three feet high
the stalks prevent further cultivation.
Into this field, approximating one
mile in width and six miles in length
are sent in October Is wagons and mer
for the husking. This takes 60 days
and row Of cribs 10 feet wide and II
feet high, half mile long, are reauir
ed to hold the crop.

DISPENSARY TANK RATS.
Citizen Josh Ashley Sticks to His s.
sertion About the State Liquor.
Grcrnriih Ncw.. ..Nnlrh -.

Representative Joshua w. Ashley.
of Anderson, was here yesterday. He
says he is receiving constant enquiries
about the bushel or two of dead rats
and other vermin he saw taken out of
the liquor tank at the State Dispen-
sary lie says among the other natu-
raj curiositics in the collection Of Of
fetal favoring Of the chemically pure
sold to the people under the Palmetto
brand aud guarantee were few hun
drcd large electric bugs which had
been soaked in the liquor so long that
they had turned white and burst
Since the publication of these dis
coveries many patrons of the dispen-
sary have been undecided whether or
not to be sick at their stomachs.
Mr.. Ashley requested publication
Of the following from the State, of Co
lumbia, which tells all he cares to saw
on the subject:
There has been going the rounds a
story related by Citizen Josh Ash
ley to the effect that he had seen two
bushels of rats and mice removed from
one of the big tanks at the State dis
pensary and that Col. S. w. Vance,
commissioner, had ordered this done.
Some were inclined to think it one of
Josh 8 jokes but others thought that
there might have been some founda-
tion for the story.
Colonel Vance was asked if the re-
port was true. He said that imme-
diately upon reading the statement he
addressed the following letter to Mr..
Ashley:
Hon. Joshua w. Ashley, Honea Path,
S. c.:
Dear Sir-Enclosed you will find
clipping from the Sumter Freeman
purporting to be an interview with
you. The statement made in reference
to dead rats and mice being taken out
of one of the tanks by me is absolutely
false. You will oblige by writing me
by return mail what you have to say
about the slander.
Very respectfully,
S. w. VANCE,
Commissioner.
Mr.. Ashley's reply was not received
for several days. 1t reads.
Col. 8. w. Vance. Columbia. S. c.:
Dear Sir-Your favor of the 4th inst,
just received. Will say in reply that
what l said about the rats and mice
was that I saw myself in 1894 at the
old State dispensary W hen it was located
in the agricultural hall. saw them
clean out the filter and take out about
half bushel of rats. mice and bugs,
and if you don't think that is so, you
can write to John Hooper, an employee
that worked in that department at that
time. But, of course, you were not
commissioner at that time, but l have
not seen anything since the dispen-
sary has been moved to the new place,
for | haven't been there, but have
asked some of the employees about it,
and one Of them told me that he didn't
know whether they got in the tank or
not, but they did get in the water
bucket
Now if there is any other informa-
tion that can give you l will do SO
with pleasure. I don't want to get
into any newspaper controversy, but
if / have to, am able to prove every
thing that have ever said.
Ecrrs as ever,
JOSHUA W. ASHLEY.

Mr.. Flowers Value to Stockholders

The sudden death of any man so
largely interested as Mr. Flower was in
stocks always causes some temporary
decline of prices in Wall street. There
is always the prospect that after
the death of such a man a large part of
his holdings will be thrown on the
market
But in Flowers case the decline was
phenomenally heavy. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit shares, for example, fell 1S per
cent, and some other Flower stocks
suffered even worse
The fact is first of all tribute to the
man for a time reduced the market
value of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
lines by no less than IS, 1OO,O 900 There
was partial recovery, but even at the
end of the day the decline in this one
stock represented about five and half
millions.
Thief act Is first of all a tribut to the
power of Mr. Flowers personality. 1t
means that in the judgment of invest
ors and speculabors ais personal abil-
ity and influences in the conduct of the
business of that company were worth
from five to eight millions to its stock
holders.-New York World.

Bread Without Flour.

Bread is now made directly from the
wheat, dispensing entirely with grind
ing, by a new process invented in Ger
many. 1t is known as the "anti-spire"
method, and great saving in the cost
of manufacture is claimed for it. The
method of making the new bread is
described as follows: After the wheat
has been thoroughly sifted and cleaned
1T is subjected to a bath in tepid water
for several hours. When it has thus
been soaked it is poured into ma
chine, which reduces it to a homogen-
eous paste. This machine is composed
of double line of thin spirals work
ing in opposite directions. BY these
spirals the softened wheat seeds are
well kneaded. At the ends OF the spir-
ais is a double cylinder which re-
ceives tne paste and makes it still
more compact and ready for shaping
into loaves and baking.
The quality of the bread made by the
new process is variously estimated.
Excellent judges and unprejudlced
practical bakers admit its excellence,
and say that any taste can be suited by
having due regard to the leavening,
manipulation and treatment in the
oven Italian experts who have inves-
tigated the matter express themselves
favorably upon its digestive properties
and pronounce it most nourishlng. In
color the "anti-spire" bread is very
brown; its odor is agreeable and taste
quite palatable. A cardinal virtue
claimed for it is that it never gets
mouldy and will remain "fresh" for
days.-Derrick.

A CLOSE CALL.
A Narrow Escape From Being Blown
UD or Run Over,

Monday morning about 10 O'Clock,
Thomas Mendenhall, this city, who is
a shooter for The Eureka Torpedo Co.,
had narrow escape from being run
over or being blown to atoms-or both.
With load of 60 quarts OF nitro
glycerine, Mr.. Mendenhall drove up
the Pike and crossed the river at Bel
mont. His route led him across the
track of the Ohio River railroad at a
place that the team crossing cannot be
seen far along the track. Just as
Mendeahall with mis- dangerous load
was about to cross the track, special
train of engine, three coaches and
a sleeper, was almost upon him before
he knew of its approach. He rose in
his seat; the engineer saw him, and
Immediately reversed his engine, but
before the load was by the danger line
the engine struck the tail of the wag-
on, tearing away portion of 1t, scar
ing the horses badly, and causing them
to run for a quarter of mile.
When Mendenhall saw the swift
train bearing down toward him, he
whipped up his team, they of course
starting with a hard lurch. This made
the driver think that his time had
come. When the engine struck the
wagon he was sure it had; and then at
every Jolt in the road over which his
team ran, his heart jumped in his
throat; but after all this excitement
the team quieted down, and Mr.. Men
denhall, his team and his load of 60
quarts of glycerine got to the destina-
ton safely.
