REUNION OF OLD VETS.

A grand reunion of old soldiers
occurred at Lowndesville on
Thursday. 1t was the occasion
of the so much talked of re-
union of Company 1, South Carolina
Volunteers. All sizes, shapes and con-
ditions of old soldiers were here and
it is putting it mildly to say all of
them had a grand, glorious time.
The people gave them a big barbe-
cue. which was much enjoyed by all.
Several prominent speakers were here
and delivered speeches during the
day. Some of those who spoke were
Gen. r.. r. Hemphill. the old war-horse
of rs, who, we believe to be on, the
right side of any sensible question.
Gen. NJ L. Bonham of the Anderson bar
made an excellent speech to the old
soldiers, which was well received. EN-
Senator l. II. McCalla spoke, as did
also Hon. A. c. Latimer.
Senator John l.. McLaurin had been
invited, but could not be present.
Many regretted this, too, as the Junior
senator has many friends down in
this meek of the woods who would
have been glad to have heard him
speak. Latimer made a long speech,
somewhat along the line of his pre-
vious efforts. 1t is needless to say
that he had number of friends in the
crowd

r. L. F., Wayne, Ga: Bone meal Is
not a complete fertilizer, as is usually
understood by that term. 1t lacks pot
ash. The meal varies considerably in
respect to nitrogen and a little in
phosphoric acid. The very best sam
pie of pure raw bone will show some
thing over per cent. Of nitrogen and
of phosphoric acid. At the prices that
the meal usually sells for it comes as
near being worth the money as any
substance used as a fertilizer.
1t is slower in it's action than most
commercial fertilizers, but its action is
steady and sure. For quick growing
crops, like cabbage, corn, Irish pota-
toes, melons and the like, the meal
may not be as effective a fertilizer as
some compounds that are made up
with materials of a more soluble char
acter, such as superphosphate, nitrate
of soda and the like. But for all pc
renniel crops, as those that occupy the
soil more than six months, the bone
meal is a most certain and valuable
fertilizers. For all fruit trees, grape
vines, Strawberries, for meadow or
pasture, it is a fertilizer that will al
ways show for itself and is certain to
pay back it's cost.
The full effects of raw bone or bone
meal is never realized the first or even
the second year, unless 1t is ground
very fine or into dust"
When bone meal is largely used as a
fertilizer the only other substance
available to use is something that sup
plies potash, either kainit or hardwood
ashes or ashes of cottonseed hulls.

Spanish Peanuts.

For the past three years / have had
practical experience in the cultivation
of peanuts. says the Epitomist. 1
grow three varieties. principally for the
purpose of fattening hogs. Some might
think that peanuts would be a very
expensive crop for fattening swine: but
from experience / find that one acre
will fatten as many hogs as four acres
of corn. An average acre of peanuts
will put $50 pounds of meat on each of
five head or hogs, or $50 pounds on the
five head, which, at 4 cents per pound,
means $50 per acre, provided seed, plow-
ing, planting and cultivation do not
cost over SIS per acre. A good stand,
with a favorable season. will do better
than this. My early Spanish are in
bloom by June l, and are ready to feed
by July 1. My Mediums, a cross be-
tween the Spanish and the large Cali
fornia, will ripen about the time the
Spanish are gone. The Medium will re-
main in the ground all winter, and fur
nish the hogs feed from the first of
July until May 1. The Spanish will
make two and sometimes three crops
in one season. This variety has been
tested as far north as Michigan, with
splendid results. The Medium variety
will not do well farther north than
riety, growing very compact at the
main root. The shuck is very thin. and
the nut is the oiliest of all varieties.
The Medium is a running or creeping
variety. Last fall l pulled a hill from
one single nut that measured six feet
and four inches across, and from the
plant l gathered over 800 maturned
nuts. But generally a single plant will
not cover over three feet of surface.
With the last working of my corn I
plant a row of Spanish between the
corn rows, and plant about June 20
They mature for fall feeding. l dis
carded the culture of cotton two years
ago, and never want any more grown
on my farm. Producing nothing but
cotton and buying everything you eat,
drink and wear, is poor policy, but
thousands of farmers are doing II. Pro-
duce more rice. molasses, corn pota-
toes. COW peas and especially your own
meat. Two acres of peanuts will make
more meat than any family can use.

HANGED AT PERRY.

Romulus Williams was executed at
Perry, Ca, on Friday, at 1915 o'clock
by Sheriff M. l.. Cooper on the same
gallows Alabama Red" was hanged
in November, 1899. The Perry Rifles,
commanded by Capt. Cater, acted as
guard. The execution passed off with
out a hitch. Romulus, like nearly all
murderers, professed TO be converted
and perfectly willing to go. He said he
was sure he would so home to glory.
He was executed for the murder of
Adam Hunnicutt. Notwithstanding the
execution was private, there was a
large crowd of negroes and some
whites that remained around the Jail
for hours. Several negro preachers, and
Rev. B. Z. Wilmington were with him
and gave such spiritual comfort as
they could. Some of his family were

Large and Small Peanuts. ?

1t is only the large Virginia" or
Tennessee peanuts that find ready sale
for market purpose. If by any chance
we should lose seed of the large kinds,
it is probable that the small kind
known as the Spanish" would be
grown for human food, and that there
would be as large a demand for 1t as
there is for the large kinds to-day.
There is no question of their being
most excellent nut, sand they constitute
as nice a lunch as is afforded by any
thing in the shape of nut. 1t is
very "meaty'' nut, and the kernel is
very easily arrived at by slight
press of the thumb and finger. The
taste that prefers peanut to pecan or
almond or walnut is not to be ridiculed
either. We are surprised that there is
not a much larger demand for peanuts
than there is. Roasted to a rich brown
why can they not be ground to a pow
der and used in the same manner as
chocolate. Parched peanuts are very
Wholesome, being easily digested. They
are very nutritious.
Many farmers in Georgia are of the
opinion it seems, that the large Vir-

grown here. We are quite sure this
opinion is erroneous. Any good sweet

Unless there is an abul lance f this

peanut good sandy soil! rich in the
mineral element, potash and phosphoric
acid, and well supplied with The car
Donate of lime, and We can grow as
fine nuts as Virginia or Tennessee.
We have found only n very few per-
sons who seem to understand the best
methods of growing this crop. The rows

Do not drop the seeds close together,
but several inches apart. Drop in shall

soil with the foot. Keep ahead with
the cultivation. Never allow any grass
to get a start Give only shallow culti-

dirt upon the vines as many have prac-
ticed. The soil should be fairly firmed
by the time the seed is ready to form.

potatoes That is what we are going
to do. We fail to see why we should
continue to buy Northern seed potatoes
and pay between "a and IS per barrel

can grow better seed ourselves.
Maj. G. M. Ryals, who has a very
large truck farm near Savannah, Ca,

Dry Peanut Vines for Hogs.

VIII hogs eat hay? It would seem
so at least, peanut hay according to
Mr.. Butler in the Southern Planter.
His statements requiring explanation
he explains further as follows:
Our vines are cured and stacked be-
fore the frost bites them, and we thus
preserve all the leaves, which are ricn
in protein. The nuts are picked off by
hand. leaving all dark ones, or those
that are not fully matured on the vines.
This adds largely to the feeding value.
On January last, l took some pigs off
feed of ship stuff and corn and start
ed them on peanut vines with a few
turnips, giving them as many vines as
they would eat up clean three times a
day, and saw no change in the pigs
for the worse. Have also tried it on
brood sows. and kept them in good or
der, feeding nothing else. Hogs prefer
them to clover or pea vine hay, and
eat more at a time. The vines, though
hard, when dry absorb moisture read
lily, are easily masticated, and are very
sweet to the taste. Have fed them to
pigs on a rye pasture and was sur
prised to see how many they would
eat after feeding on green rye all day.
AS the peanut can be raised anywhere
in the South on sandy land, there is
no reason why the vines should be a
cheap feed for hogs or other stock. The
nuts will pay well for the labor and
cost of growing them, and on good
land over two tons of vine hay can be
raised to the acre. From analyses one
can easily see the feeding value of the
nuts and vine. The following figures
are taken from the report of the State
Board of Agriculture of Virginia: Pea
nut kernels average rs per cent
water; "a per cent. ash; 27.9 per cent.
protein; 40 per cent. fiber; 1876 per
cent. carbohydrates and 1916 per cent.
fat. The vines without the nuts, aver
age rs per cent. water; 1913 per cent.
ash; 10.7 per cent protein; 1856 per
cent. fiber; All per cent. carbohydrate;
4.6 per cent. fat. The hulls average 90
per cent. water; 3.4 per cent. ash; 6.6
per cent. protein; 643 per cent. fiber;
ISL per cent. carbohydrates and is per
cent. fat. These figures demonstrate
the feeding value of peanut vines with
the unstable nuts left on. In a trial
at the South Carolina Experiment Sta
ton the average daily gain of pigs fed
on peanuts was 4.32 pounds, against All
pounds on corn, 1874 pounds on field
peas and 2.59 pounds on sweet pota-
toes. In feeding vines all that is nee
essary is to put them where the hogs
can get them. There is no need for
cutting or mixing with other feed as
with other hay.

Mayor Watts talked to the mob and
asked them to let the law handle the
man, promising that a speedy trial and

The mob dispersed, but about an
hour later a masked mob attacked the
Jail, overpowered the guards and broke
into the building, getting out the man.
They took him about one mile in the
country and fired several hundred
shots into his body. leaving him lying

OIL NEAR ABBEVILLE.

Abbeville Chronicle: The excitement
consequent to the indications of an oil
deposit that has been discovered here,
while not so demonstrative in mani
testing itself, as when the discovery
was made, is settling into firm con-
viction that there is deposit of liquid
wealth, under the soil of Abbeville and
vicinity. This conviction appears to be
sustained by increasing evidence that
is regarded by people who have lived
in the oil regions of the North, and
are now here, as conclusive. 1t will re-
quire both time and capital to make
satisfactory investigation as to wheth-
er there is an oil deposit here or not
Arrangements are being made to this
end and the investigation promises to
be thorough. In the meantime inquiries
are coming from all quarters and pros
pectors are on the ground.

COTTON COMING IN RAPIDLY.

Dawson Record; Owing to the ex-
ceptionally fine weather this week, the
farmers of Terrell are rapidly putting
their cotton crop into marketable
shape-it being estimated that fully l.
900 bales will be stored in Dawson's
warehouses this week. The three gin
nerieS in town are being run day and
night in order to accommodate the far
mers. and are taxed to the utmost to
keep up, so fast is it being brought in.
Although the crop was nearly a month
late, the farmers think If weather con-
ditions remain favorable, the crop will
be gathered as early as usual, as it
seems to be opening all at once, and
the scarcity of pickers will be the only
drawback to an early finish. The price
has been fiuctuating, first up and then
down, SC being the highest price that
we have heard paid as yet, but every
thing points to an early and rapid ad-
vance in the price of the country's
great staple.
