DENMARK, May T.-Farmers Of this
section are busy putting crops IN good
condition. making ready for the harvest
ing of the fine grain crop. Cool nights
have checked the growth of cotton some
what and bud worms are playing havoc
with corn. Taking all these disadvan-
tages into consideration, the present crop
cannot be made as cheap as usual, but
the farmers are expecting good prices.
The man of merit is fast coming to the
front. The people of this section have
their hearts and minds fixed upon high
est ideals of government, and propose to
cast their ballot for that candidate i'll
whom they believe the honest demands
of the people can be entrusted.

Manures vary so greatly as to make it
difficult to estimate their value. When a
large proportion of coarse foods is fed,
with but limited amount of grain, the
manure may not be worth the cost OF
spreading it, unless on field very near
the barnyard, The average value OF one
ton of ordinary stable manure, which in
cludes the materials mixed with that void
ed by the animals, is 81, and the cost de-
pends upon the hauling, as well as the
loading and spreading. Such work re-
quires man and two horses, and unless
the manure has been well decomposed
the loading and spreading may be tedious
work Considering the time of hauling
frem livery stables to the barnyard, it may
make the cost of such manure more than
it's value. If the distance is great, as the
manure must be loaded on the wagon,
thrown out into the heap at the barnyard,
and again loaded on the wagon and
hauled to the field to be spread. At a
value of but 50 per ton it will pay farm
ers to purchase fertilizers in preference
to buying from livery stables, and especi-
ally when the manure consists mostly of
straw.-Home and Farm.

TO PROTECT FISH.

The Orangeburg county grand jury
has also taken cognizance of the fragrant
violations of law and the consequent
wholesale slaughtering of fish in the Ed
.isto, In their final presentment last
week we find the following:
We beg leave to call the particular at
tention of this honorable court to a pc
tition handed to the grand jury request
ing that Some action would estaken in
regard to the wholesale destruction of
fish by all kinds of vices, traps, nets and
sheeting, and We have examined several
witnesses and find there is just cause for
complaint, and would respectfully ask
that this honorable court would instruct
the proper parties to enforce the law in
regard to this unlawful destruction of
fish. We respectfully hand to the Solici-
tor the petition and the evidence handed
to us."
Violators of the law can be punished
and the traps broken up if our people
will but use the proper effort. Let every
man appoint himself committee of one
TO see that the law is enforced.

The June DelineatOr.

The Paris exposition still claims first at
tention in the magazines, and The Delin-
Gator gives, in the June number, lightly
drawn but graceful and entertaining pen
picture of the opening-day ceremonies,
followed by short description of the
fair as it presents itself to the eye from
various coigns of vantage. Eliot Gregory
includes in his paper an interesting re-
sumo of French fairs The large and i'm
portant part which American women
have taken in the fair reflects great cred
it on the nation and on the various indi-
viduals, clubs and committees who have
worked so hard to give proper rcpresen-
tation to the arts and crafts of woman
kind. Seventeen of the most noted mem
bers of the American commission and
others who have been prominent in the
movement are shown in connection with
Waldon Fawcett's article in the June
DelineatOr.

Lynching in Augusta.

Last Sunday afternoon on crowded
street car in Augusta young negro
named Wilson shot and killed promi
nent young society man of that city
named Aleck Whitney. The killing was
IN unprovoked murder, Whitney merely
resisting the attempt.of companion of
Wilson's to sit in crowded seat with
him, whereupon Wilson shot him. A
mob lynched the negro Monday morning.
The citizens of Augusta place much OF
the blame for the killing upon the street
railway company, who did not obey the
law requiring them to have separate ac-
commodations for white andsolored pas

All the counties have now officially re-
ported the deficiencies in the school fund
to the comptroller general and the comp

iminary to the disbursement of the dis
pensary profits to the credit of the school

Bottled Again.

Senator Tillman's bill removing the
naval station from Port Royal to Charles
ton has passed the Senate, and it will
doubtless go through the House, though
Congressman Elliott is violently opposed
to it. Should the bill finally become
law it will mean a great deal to Charles
ton and the practical destruction of Port
Royal as a great Southern port. The
naval station at Port Royal has never
been popular with navy officers.
The blasting of the hopes of Port Royal
the people of Beaufort contend will also
ruin the aspirations of their city. They
sent strong delegation to Washington
to prevent the passage of the Tillman
amendment, but without avail.

Escape from the Press-Gang.

When war was declared against Great
Britain in 1912 the American rallying cry
was" No impressment" The motive for
this may be gathered from an incident re-
lated in DR.. MarshalPs biography of Com
modore Macdonough, U. S. N. Macdon-
ough was at the time captain of the brig
Gulliver, from New York to Liverpool,
and on the evening preceding her depart
ure from Liverpool, was on shore. A
stranger approached him and asked if he
belonged to any vessel in the harbor.
The instant that the captain named the
Gulliver he was surrounded and seized
by the gang, who took him on board
an English frigate. The commanding
officer of the frigate paid no attention to
the Americans objections to this indig-
nifty, but ordered him forward.
Macdonough had to obey. He was
shortly commanded to turn in" and go
ing below, he hung up hammock and
turned in without undressing.
About midnight the corporal of the
guard took the hammock next to his.
Waiting until the corporal was asleep,
our captain rose, doffed his clothes, and
put on those of the British officer. Then
coolly climbed the ladder and walked out
on the spar deck, to the ships side.
Sentry" said he, "what boat is that at
the boom?"
"The second cutter sir" was the reply.
The natural tone of the sentrys an
swer gave Macdonough renewed conf
dence, and he boldly walked up to the
officer of the deck, and touching his cap,
said, Il would like to overhaul the Sec
ond cutter, sir, I think there is rum
aboard her"
''Very well, corporal" answered the
officer, search the boat and see what you
can find"
The captain vent quickly forward,
sprang out through the port upon the
swinging boom, and dropped into the
cutter. As quick as thought he cut the
rope that secured her, and the flood tide
setting strong up the river, he quickly
dropped astern.
"Help, help!' he shouted, 'the boats
looser'
'sGet out the oars!" responded the officer
of the deck. sYou can hold her against
the tide"
Macdonough got the oars, and before his
purpose was realized the cutter was some
distance up the river, and he was pulling
with all his might at the oars.
The sentries discharged their muskets
at him but the captain made good his es-
cape and regained his own ship.
"Tll make the English pay for this!'
he said; and he kept his word.

The unprovoked killing of a young
white man by an insolent negro in street
ear in Augusta last Sunday afternoon is
said to be the result of not having separate
apartments for the races, although the law
required it. The South Carolina railroad
trains only are required to carry separate
cars, we believe, but the law should be
extended to the street cars, buses, hacks,
and all public conveyances of any kind
whatsoever. The crowding of whites
and blacks into public vehicle too often
subjects passengers to the irritation of
contenling with insolent negroes, and we
hope the next legislature will enact a law
requiring that the races be kept separate
on public conyeyances. of any kind.

Sam Jones is credited with the follow

many amusing scenes in the court room.
A negro was arraigned forsome misde-
meanor, and the presiding judge asked
him if he had counsel to represent him.
He asked the Judge what that was. The
Judge replied, Have you lawyer to at
tend to your case?" NO." said the ne
gro, Il don't need no lawyer" "What
are you going to do? Are you going to
defend yourself and be your own attor-
ney:" NO." he said, "Marse Judge, I'm
just going to throw myself on the ignor-
ance of the court"

was the work of demon within man.

or intlammatory rheumatism will agree
that the infliction is demoniac enough to
warrant the belief. 1t has never been

rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony

ceremony being insufficient. ,
