Wreck on the Southern Sentiment
In Favor of the Amendment Grows.
Shelby Aurora, April 18th.

tive and popular daughter of
DR.. B. F. Dixon, is taking a
course Of stenography and type
writing in Cleveland CONNER
cial College.
II. F. Scaters, who was form

a resident Of Charlotte for sew

The rainfall Of last week was
terrific and continuous. The
streams are unusually swollen.
Buffalo creek was said to have
been higher than in Ii years,
while the river was from hill to

tarded.
The amendment sentimentin
the county grows stronger
daily. White republicans as
we'll as democrats are announc-
ing themselves in favor Of the
measure. It will carry in old
Cleveland by an immense
majority.
On account Of the prevalence
Of smallpox in the county, the
managers Of Belwood Institute
decided not to have their an
nual commencement this year,
but suspended school last Fri
day. Thisisone Of the county's
best institutions, Of which it is
justly proud.
Part Of a freight train going
North on the Southern railroad,
went through a trestle over
Thicketty creek between Spar
tanburg and Gaffney Saturday
morning. The engine and ten :
der passed over in safety, but
five loaded ears went down
with the trestle. No one was
injured.
Owing to the prevalence of
smallpox, the trustees Of the
Shelby Graded Schools decided
to suspend the schools for this
term. The suspension is unfor-
tunate and to be regretted, as
it came just at a time when
preparations were being made
for the regular examinations
for promotion to the different
grades.

Another golf dress was made of violet

this costume was the combination of yio-

the waist had decoration of the same.

A VEGETABLE GARDEN
OF YOUR OWN.
The Things You Can Plant. How You
Can Plan, Them, and What
You Can Raise.

There's solid comfort to the ordinary
man, rich or poor. in sitting under his
own vine and fig-tree. Every one likes
to watch a vegetable garden grow It
can ,ba from six feet square 20 an acre.
If the plot is 5ox1oo feet. you can have
a good garden.
Plant three rows of sweet-corn, three
of wax-beans, a few hills of Irish pota-
toes, for the fun of it, and reserve the
rest for smaller vegetables
If you cannot get stable manure handy,
buy a 50-pound bag Of phosphate.
Bury a. forkfui of manure under two
inches of light earth for every hill OF
corn and potatoes.
Put six kernels Of corn in a hill.
Four pieces of potato, each piece to nave
an EYE" on it.
beans an inch apart III the drill. Cover
them loosely with half an inch TO an inch
of earth.
Cucumbers and melons are to be planted
in large hills and plenty of dressing.
Cover them with the double windows or
with old sashes till they begin to blossom.
Then uncover them so that the bees can
get at them to fertilize the blossoms
Otherwise you will have no melons GlVe
them plenty of water.
After making your beds for radiShes'
beets turnips, &c, scatter the seeds on
top and rake them in loosely with an
iron-to0th rake. Sprinkle them with
watts. every dry day.
Young cabbages, celery, tomatoes and
some others can be bought by the dozen
at the market gardens and suburban
grocery stores. Full directions for plant
ing al kinds of seeds are printed on
the envelopes, or can be secured from
the market gardeners where plants are
bought.
When the corn and beans are two TO
three inches tall get hoe and softly
loosen the earth around them, rubbing
ana shaking the whole surface between
the hills and cutting off any weeds or
grass that may come up. Be careful
not to disturb the roots of the plants
themselves.
Repeat this as often as the weeds begin
to grow, a least once in every two or
three weeks, till the beans are in blossom
and the corn is two or three feet tall
Carefully pull out all the weeds from
vour beds of vegetables as soon as they
are big enough so that you can distln-
suish them from the tiny vegetables
themselves.
AS the beets. turntps. Sc, become
crowded, pull out the inferior-looksnS
ones 10 make room. Never pass d weed
as you walk about the garden.
If YOU follow these directions, using
common-sense with them, and have plenty
of sun and water, you will have good
garden.
If it is 5oxlOo feet. it ought not to cost
you more than IS in cash.

An Old Tale Renewed.

Scholars decline to be excited by the
cabled renort of the recent discovery of
a letter written by Jesus Christ. The
cabled report came from Rome and was
based on paper read by professor
from Vienna at a meeting of archaeoio-
gists He discussed a Greek inscription
found in the ruins Of a nalace at Ephesns
in which part of this letter is given.
The story of the letter turns out to be
very old Esubius. Christian historian of
the fourth century, recorded a, story TO
the effect that King Abgar, Of Odessa,
wrote inviting Christ to come TO Odessa,
and that Christ replied declining, Esebius
gave the text OF both letters but scholars
have not regarded the correspondence as
authentic. though in very early times it
was widely credited and copied. 1t seems
to have been part Of this correspondence
a Greek translation of which has been
found at Enhesus.-E. S. Martin, in Har-

Obituary.

The subject of this sketch, little
Pearl, son of A. r. and Jennie
SCOTT, died at Glenwood, after
an illness of sixty-four days,
March 9th, 1900, at the age of ten
years. His disease was that of in
fiammation of the kidneys. He
was treated by the most able physi-
clans of the land who did all in
their power for him. He was tend
erly nursed by those who responded
to his many wants, but after suffer
ing untold agonies he was called
to his homo above. "The Lord
piveth and the Lord taketh away"
He was buried at Moore's Chapel
by the side of his little brother,
Edgar, who, just ten months ago,
preceded him to the Spirit Land.
Oh, what joyful hours have boon
spent in that happy homo where
deepest SORROW now doth dwell.
But our Savior hath said "auffer
little children to come unto me for
of such is the Kingdom of Heaven
Little Pearl was possessed OF
rare intelligence for one of his age;
was of @ sweet and loving disposi.
ton. 1t is not for us to judge, but
the mind will refer to the many
almost useless oumberers of the
earth and wonder why they have
been spared when one 80 young
and gifted has been taken from US.
Just three days before his death
he sat up in bed and wrote these
lines in his copy book;
before close my eyes In sleep,
Lord hear my evening prayer,
And deign "A helpless child to keep,
With thy protecting care"
Though young in years we feel
that in the death of little Pearl we
have met with a grand loss; but
may the good Lord comfort and
sustain Father and Mother Scott
in this their hour of deepest grief.
Weep not, dear children, little
Pearl is at rest; his body is free
from pain; his soul is now among
the blest, where you shall meet
him again. CARRIE You've.
