nothing that could be assig ned as
cause other than the facts lndicat-
cd. The young man. was highly es-
teemed by his employers and his
accounts were all right.
Mr.. Clyburn was a single man,
Just 25 years of age. He worked
here for about year for Max
well & Taylor in the furniture
business and for the last three
months has been with the local
agency of the Virginia Insurance
co npany. He leaves a widowed
mother, two sisters and four
brothers. He was the third son
of the late Col. CIyburn, of Ian.
caster, who conlman ded the
Twelfth South Carolina regiment,
and was particularly gallant
Confederate soldier.
The policy upon the young
mans life was in the New York
Life Insurance company and it
only arrived here on Saturday
last. The young mans desire to
insure his life was evidently
prompted by fear that he would
break down and that his health
would fail him utterly, and this
same fear may have led him to
end his career. The case is a very
sad one.
Mr.. Clyburn was one of the
first volunteers from this State in
the Spanish American war. He
was sergeant in Go. q, of the
First South Carolina, and mess
mate said of i'm last night that
he was devoted soldier and was
never known to shirk duty.
This spirit may have had some~
thing to do with his selection of
the place to die.

ed as to the cause was firm
clinching OF the lips and his eyes
closed in death.
DR.. Mellow arrived at S:15
O'Clock just as Mr.. Clvburn
breathed his last. On examining
the wound he found that the ball
had taken the course indicated
above and declared that hemnor,
rhage was the immediate cause
of his death.
Coroner Green being sick,
Magistrate McMaster fora ed
jury at 9:45 o'clock, which after
taking the testimony, returned a
verdict rs stated above.
The young man was boarding
at the residence of DR.. Mellow
and the evening before seemed
cheerful enough, chatting for
quite awhile on the porch after
supper. He went up town about
10 O'Clock and it is not known
that he returned. Indeed it is
said he did not come to his room
again during the night.
The conductor on the first
cemetery car yesterday morning
which is due there at CPS, recalls
that MIR. Clyburn boarded the
car down street and bought u
quarter worth of tickets. He
got out at the cemetery.
The car tickets were found
after his death IN the inside coat
pocket together with a memo
randum book, a check book on the
Carolina bank and a letter adj
dressed to his mother, Mrs. M.
l.. Clyburn, Lancaster, S. G.. :.
This letter, which was read at the
inquest, contained nothing giving
a clue as to the young mans
motive in killing himself. 1t was
dated June 14th and large part
of it was taken up with an ac-
count of the veterans return from
Memphis. This part is particularly
lovely when it is remembered
that the poor follows body was
found lying alongside the graves
of the Confederate soldiers. cit
brings the tears to my eyes,
mother, to see the old soldiers
come back, especially pas com
rades, All sang his praises, and
when | would tell them he was
my father each one would say,
mo braver man ever went on
battlefield. Some of the old fell
lows can hardly walk; some lack
ing an arm; some leg
In another part of the letter he
speaks of coming home: "WiIl
be at home the Fourth of July.
Have dreadful cold and am not
fit for work"
Near the close of the letter was
the following pathetic close: 81
have insured my life for $1,000,
and this will 60 to you, mother,
In case of my death"
This letter, olthough written
justa week before his death, was
never mailed. 1t was turned over
to his brother and will be taken
to the sorrowihg mother.
AS soon as the inquest was over
the magistrate authorized the re-
moval of the body from the CEN.
etery. His brother did not get to
cemetery in time to see the young
man alive. Yesterday afternoon
Clerk Cly yburn took the body to
Lancaster. Many of the friends
of the two Young men accompanied
the body to the depot. The funeral
party left here ut $50 o'clock.

THE ESSENTIALS OF PLANT GROWTH.

PROPERTIES OF SOIL. BY Robert Waring-
fessor Of Rural * conoT IN te Of
oxford; Examiner in the PRINCIPLES of Agricult-
Vre We,, 10 the Department Of Science and Art
FrowJe r''
PROFESSOR Warrington has prepared in this
volume one of the most valuable works on the
subject Of the soil yet published. IT is not a
mere reprint OF his lectures in the university
classroom but is a condensed and revised state
ment, for the education of the general public. Of
the material first used for the instruction of his
students. The subject is treated from an ex-
perimental point of view. and the author en-
phasizes the fact that only on the results OF
experimental Investigations agricultural sci
ence he safely based. Investigations Of soil
physics begun by Schubler more than sixty
years ago were retarded by the rapid rise Of
agricultural chemistry. which. in the middle of
the last century, diverted attention from their
importance
When it was realized that chemist could
analyze a crop and ascertain the elements of
which ii composed. and then analyze the
soil and ascertain what proportion Of these ele-
ments il contained. il was felt that the causes
determining fertility were now at last firmly
grasped. AT the present day a fuller
knowledge of the facts of agriculture has not
borne out the theory. The experienced
farmer knows the overw helrning Importance of a
proper texture OF the soil for the profitable cult
ure of each crop. A soil may be rich in
all the elements of plant food and yet be quite
unfertile. If seeds are to germinate in soil, or
If roots to develop in healthy and vigorous
manner. there must be a suitable soil climate
The conditions TO air. moisture and tempera-
within the soil quite essential for
vigorous plant growth the corresponding
conditions in the atmosphere above. Different
crops and different varieties Of the same
crop. demand quite different degrees of moist
dryress in the soil to bring them to per-
fection. The temperature of the soil re-
quired for various purposes is very different.
The texture of the soil also largely de-
terr1ines the availability of the plant food which
II contains. A knowledge of these facts
Is quite essential for deciding what crops should
be grown upon a particular soil. and what treat
ment the soil should in each case receive for their
successful culture.
Extracts might be made to almost any extent.
and all would be we'll worth reading. but the
above indicates fairly well the contents of Pro-
fessor warington's five chapters. 1t is crafty
ing to note the extensive made of the re-
ports OF the experiment stations in the United
States and the full credit given to the ability
