AppeaI Will be Taken,

1t is expected that Chancellor
Nicholson will give decision on
the question of whether the Will
mington City Railway Company has
the exclusive right to build rail-
ways i'll Wilmington in about two
weeks. No matter which way the
case may be decided, it is likely to
be taken to the Supreme Court of
the United Statesby thelosing side.
If it is so taken it will be some years
before any railway is built on Sixth
street, which is the street over
which contention is being made.

Summary of the News That Is Being Pub
lIshed by Exchanges.


lIsl,ed by Exchanges.
LANCASTER-Ledger, August II :
We regret to learn of the heavy loss
which befell our old friend, Mr.. W.. S.
Horton, who lives near Kershaw, in
the loss of his barn and stables, corn
and forage and large portion of his
wheat and oat crops, by fire last
Thursday afternoon. The fire orig-
mated from sparks from the engine of
the thresher, and everything being so
dry it was with difficulty that even his
residence was saved. Mr.. Robert
Floyd lost two very fine mules by the
fire and also had his thresher badly
damaged-the rear of it being burned
off. The mules were in the stable
when the fire started but were gotten
out before the fire reached them and
turned loose. 1t was not known until
their charred remains were found in
the debris that they had run back into
the burning building and had been
burned to death. $1,000 will not cover
the loss of Messrs. Horton and Floyd
and neither of them, so far as we have
been able to learn, had dollars worth
of insurance. 1--WE direct attention
to the announcement of Hon. w. ID.
Mayfeld in this issue for railroad COM
missioner. His position on the issue in
that race he plainly sets forth in his
announcement. He served. as state
superintendent of education for three
successive terms and is not unknown
to the people, '..'.."'Dave and Antho
ny Cunningham, both colored, were
both bound over in the sum OF S5OO
each this week by Magistrate Caskey,
for appearance at court TO answer Tor
disturbing a religious meeting and u.s.
ing fire arms also to keep the peace.
CHEROKEE-The Gaffney Ledger
August 10: "Doc" Peeler, of Maud,
last Saturday evening, killed the larg-
est owl that has been killed in Chero'
kee county this year. His owlshlp
measured four feet and seven inches
from the tip of one wing to the other:
1t was what is known as the "hoot"
owl variety, and was an extra fine
specimen. .'"G"Forest Clary, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson Clary, died
at the home of his parents in the Maud
neighborhood at 8 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, of cramp in the stomach,
caused by over exerlion. Mr.. Clary
attended services at Providence Sun
day and was in his usual good health.
The deceased was in his twenty-hrst
year. .......'.The county campaign is
now on and the "dear people" are be-
ing beseiged by the festive candidate.
The opening gave promise of come fun
between county superintendent of edu-
cation and Senator Sarratt, but we un-
derstand that the Ratchet has been
buried between them and that they
will furnish no fun in the future. We
understand that so far everything is
quiet, and we sincerely hope it will re-
main so. '''''':1<We are sorry to learn
that Joseph Hughes, son of our es-
teemed contemporary, T. Jeff Hughes,
is lying critically i'll with typhoid fever

HINTS For HoRsEMEN.-Don't
hurry the bride off the head of the
young horse; but take it off quietly,
and let him understand that the bit is
to be taken out of his mouth gently.
He will soon help his owner both in
biting and unbitting. Take care that
he doesn't show signs Of uneasiness
from fear of being hurt. This will
induce him to throw up his head or
form other bad habits. Care in hand
ling your horses will be we'll repaid in
the increased faith and docility of the
pupil.
Look out for your horse if you are
feeding him heavily on the ground
provender in hot weather and stop
work suddenly. He will be almost
sure to have collie frequently and it
often terminates fatally. Oats are
safer food, especially when the tenn
perature is high. If oats and corn
ground, or cornmeal must be used, it
is we'll to feed some linseed meal in
very small quantities. Begin with a
tablespoonful and increase gradually
to a gill twice day. 1t is laxative
and cooling as we'll as highly nutritious
and strengthening. 1t keeps the diges-
tive organs in the best condition.

COULD NOT TRANSLATE IT.-Hiram
had returned home from college, where
he had won high honors as student ol
the ancient languages but he "fell
down" one day when his sister, de.
mure young girl in her teens, asked
him to translate sign she had seen in
front of an opticians Office which read
thus: "Consultu sabo utyo urey es."
Hiram struggled manfully with it for
several minutes and then gave it up.
'It isn't good Latin" he said. "There
are some words in it that are Latin ;
but the others are either wrong in ter
mination or are barbarisms from other
languages, and, taken as whole, it
doesn't make sense" "That is what
I said," rejoined his sister; "but Ketu-
rah, out in the kitchen, translates it
without any trouble. She says it
means, "Consult US about your eyes,

FALL SOWING.


Do not delay the fall sowing until
too late. Where grain is to be sown
in the cotton fields, you can pick the
cotton over and plow the seed in with
sweep. This is a far better plan than
waiting for the cotton to be picked
and sowing the grain so late that it is
winter killed. If you want to sow
clover or rye where corn is.now grow
ing, you can do so, provided you have
not chilled up" your corn rows too
much. Crimson clover should he
sown the last of August or the first of
September, and there is no reason why
you should not SOW your corn land in
this valuable hay plant. 1t is ready to
NOW by the first Of May-in good
time for you to prepare the land for
corn. We have tried this system OF
sowing the corn land in rye and GRIM
son clover in the fall, and find that it
greatly improves the yield of corn, be-
sides giving good crop of hay. Be-
sides this general crop of. rye and
clover, you should SOW rich patch |of
each near the barn for early green
feed. 1t will be about the first thing
ready for feeding in the spring, and
will increase the milk and butter yield
of the cows.
Now is the time to decide where you
intend to sow your wheat. 1t will
not pay you to sow upon poor land,
for wheat, like everything else, does
better upon good land than upon that
which is thin. One should always sow
Just what wheat he thinks he can
manure, and SOW clover with the
wheat. 1t is better to farm with a
rotation of wheat, clover, and then
corn, and use your manure upon the
wheat and clover, than it is to try to
make it do for all. If any comper-
cial fertilizers are to be used, let it be
upon the corn.
Oats should be sown from the last OF
August on as long as there is any
reasonable chance of them withstand,
ing the winter freezes. Oats soWn IN
the fall generally yield about twice as
much per acre as spring sowing. 1t
pays better to SOW less land and use
manure and fertilizers upon this crop,
than it does to SOW too much land.
For fall sowing, we have not found a
better variety than the Virginia gray
oat. It resembles the winter white
oat somewhat, except that the grain is
smaller and the straw is finer. There
is no advantages in plowing the land
deep for oats or wheat, especially
where it is under cultivation; but the
soil should be free from clods and
trash. Upon clay lands, all fall sown
crops should be rolled or firmed with
the drag, to prevent the action of frost
from starting the young plants from
the ground.
