ABOUT OAT RAISING.
Col T Moore Says Sow Oats IN August.

Col Moore Says Sow Oats iu August.
Spartan5urc Free Lance.
Editor of The Free Lsnce: Believ-
ing that our want OF sucsess in oat
raising was due to our time of sowing,
determined last year to put my the
ory to the test, aud so commenced in
August to turn under with two-horse
turn-plows) hog weeds and crab grass,
after wheat. the former being as high
as my head and as thick as they could
stand; the latter fine growth. Your
friend, Col. T. l.. CAN'T, passed here
said I was wasting time, which l
rather thought myself, as neither he
nor l had any opinion Of turning under
green crops. Well, Immediately after
the field was plowed, [ sowed two
bushels OF oats to the acre, and har-
rowod iD, net expecting a stand from
fermentation. To my astonishment
every grain seemed to germinate and
commenced to grow right along. To-
day they are the finest oats I ever
raised. Recently J. Monroe O'Shields
passed the field, and remarked, "there
are some mighty fine oats down in that
fiat yonder, they will make Is bushels
per acre" So much for Col. Gantt's
and my judgmsnt.
1 continued sowing during Septem-
ber, and have now the finest prospect
ever had or ever saw in Spartanburg.
Had 1 not done 50 when I did, would
virtually have had no oats this year.
Tethe farmers, therefore, would say
commence in August to turn stubblc
and SOW turf aud red oats in Septem-
Der and October.
I have also made an interesting ex-
pertinent in wheat-sowing on the
heaviest sort of Bermuda grass land,
about which I may tell you some
other time. T. J. Moore.

What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease
prevails in this country, dangerous be-
cause so deceptive. 1t comes on sc
slowly yet surely that it is often firmly
seated before we are aware Of it.
The name of this disease which ma
be divided into three distinct stages
is, First, Kidney trouble, indicated
by pain in the back, rheumatism.
lunbago, frequent desire TO urinate,
often with burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant
with strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches
the Second stage, or Bladder trouble,
with heavy pain in the abdomen low
deWn between the navel and the water
passage, increasing desire to urinate,
with scalding sensation in passing,
small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary to
draw it with instruments. If uric
acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
THERE'S comfort in knowing that
DR.. Kilmer, the great kidney and
bladder specialist, has discovered
Remedy famous for its marvellous
cures of the most distressing cases
aud known as DR.. kiImer's Swamp
Root.
It is sold by all druggists.
As proof of the wonderful virtues
of this great discovery, Swamp-Root,

NOT AN EXCEPTION

I 0t course, it was to be expected that
omebody wo1ld complain tha: he had
been slightei or that somebody in
whom the co aplainant is interested
was slighted and snubbed. This always
happsns. Itis especially unfortunate
that no carrisge was sent for General
Wheeler In the parade in Charleston,
for perhaps there were more people
who wanted to see Wheeler than auy
man at the rsuaiou. It is impossible
that' the failure to give General
Wheeler place in the parade was
intentional, and We are glad to see
:hst bis daughter is sensib'e enough to
say that she knows it was not inten-
tional. But Governor Caudler, Of
Georgia, and his staff are now com.
planning tbs! they were sa1bbal. II
appears that the Governor and his
staff were in the procession, but they
are put out because the GeorgianS
were not put in the front, and because
Governor Gambler was not placed
along side of Hampton and Gordon tc
review the parade. All Of this sounds
just a little silly. EVerybods souldn'>
be given first place, and it is little
~6isgustins to hear of such complaints
On all such public occasions, there
is slwsys a supersensitive elemen
who are 80 easily insulted and who
feel themselves slighted and snubbed

lesion reunion would have been s
most remarkable exception, if some-
body had not felt aighted. More o.
less confusion will nseessarily exist Al
such assemblsges, aui soma over

expected. FraSusntly they can not
be explained, and the hest thing to do

Last Night.

The senate committee on commerce and

Attorney Hill, Of Montgomery, argued
against the bill for the telephone company,
and Attorney B. M. Allen and e. H. Caban-

After lengthy session the committee ad-
journed until tomorrow afternoon, when
ex-senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, will
make an argument against the bill.
Senators Brown and Jelks voted to give
the bill favorable report this evening,

try endorsing the policy adopted by Eng
land, among one them one from President
Steiner of the Birmingham Commercial
club. It is as follows:
"Honored Sir:-In response to your
request for expressions from the presi-
dents of commercial bodies in regard to
trade with the east, desire to say that
I cordially endorse the open door policy.
All that Birmingham asks Is a fair field
and no favors. We now shipping
our iron, steel, iron pipe and cotton
goods to the leading markets for the
old world. We are doing this In spite of
discriminating tariffs, the lack of in
ternational banking facilities and limi-
ted cargo room on ocean vessels. We
ship our iron into France and pay the
duty of 81 per ton laid upon American
iron. The retention of the Philippines
will open to us the trade of the Chinese
empire, the islands of the Pacific, the
vast regions beyond, and we will hold
In our grasp the potentiality of becom-
ing rich beyond the dreams of avarice."
His lordship is now in Chicago, where he
is being royalty entertained by the Cham

through the United States shortly, and it
is not at all improbable that he will visit
Birmingham. No invitation has been ex-
tended him yet, but 1t is very probable that
one will be sent this week. 1t Is argued
visit to the district which is now under
selling and which is offering such strong
competition to the iron makers of England

Mr. Gibson, of Jefferson, introduced the
bill in the house, stating that it had been
drawn and was endorsed by the Federation
of Woman's clubs of Alabama. He made
a speech in support of the bill.
Mr.. Cofer, of Cullman, opposed the bill.
He declared it a mere sentimental matter
and argued that the state had not the con-
stitutional right to appropriate any money
to such purpose
Messrs. Brandon, of Tuscaloosa; Davis.
of Marion; Waller, of Hale; and Del
champs, of Mobile, made forcible arguments
for the bill. Mr.. Golfer closed the debate
and the bill was passed.

TO UNITY WORK.
Common Meeting Place for Jewish Be-
nevolent Organizations.

A meeting of the Jewish citizens Of Bir-
mingham will be held tonight in the vestry
rooms of Temple Emanuel after the regu-
lar Friday night services to consider the
question of unifying the work of the sew

organizations by providing a common

ing the interests, 1t is proposed to purchase
a lot centrally located and to erect build
ing suitably constructed to meet the re-
quirements of each organization which will
stin retain its individuality. The argument
is put forth by the promoters that in thus
bringing the different organizations to-
gether, they can work more in harmony.
Among the organizations which have been
cnsidered in connection with the movement
are the B'nai Birth lodge, the Youths
Auxiliary, the Hebrew Relief society, the
Young Mems Hebrew association, the local
branch of the National Council OF Jewish
Women and the Ladies' Hebrew society.
Representatives from each of these organi-
cations will be present at tonight's meet
ing when the question will be thoroughly
discussed, and may possibly result in the
initiative steps being taken.

members of the B'nai Birth are at the
head of the movement and feel greatly en-

which has been given the project
