SOUTH CAROLINA.

Thursday afternoon at the Spartan
burg Junction there was a difficulty
between Yardmaster ]. H. Lewis and
a negro employee, VIII Austin of the
Southern Railway, in which the negro
received a bullet wound in the lower
part of the abdomen. The facts con-
nected with the trouble are very mea-
gre, but, according to the general YER
sion of the. affair, it seems that the
negro had been angered by Mr.. Lewis
order for him to go to work, and re-
piled to the yardmaster's command
with a threatening remark, and adj
vanced toward the white man with
a brake stick several feet long. Mr..
Lewis at this time drew his pistol and
fred, inflicting the wound as above
stated. DR.. Cudd was Immediately
summoned to give medical attention to
the wounded man, and he was taken

Humus From clover Crops.

The importance of organic or decay
ing vegetable and animal matter in the
soil or what is known as "humus," is
being all the time better understood by
the average soil tiller. The question is,
of course. of especial interest to the
grower of fruits and garden products.
A writer in American Cultivator says:
zone of the greatest advantages
obtain from a cover crop is the con-
slant storage in the soil of humus. A
soil rich in humus is also a soil prep
erly drained. In many soils the lack
of humus permits the best elements
of fertility no matter in what form ap-
piled, to leach out and go to waste.
Sometimes they merely leach down to
the subsoil. but even there they are
wasted TO most crops. Our surface
feeding crops will not go down to the
subsoil after rich humus or fertility
leached down there, because of a too
porous and open surface soil. The COW
er Drop plants the humus in the surface
soil and thereby holds the fertilizing
elements of potash phosphoric acid
and nitrogen. They are held there in
position where the roots of the plants
can most readily reach and utilize
them. Any cover crop will do this
work. Some, of course, answer the
purpose much better than any others,
but a crop that furnishes an abund-
ance of green foliage will in time fill
the soil with rich humus. Therefore,
cover crops have been used by me
continually for systematic storing of
humus in the SOIL My land is so open
and porous that nearly all fertilizers
would quickly leach through If it were
not for this practice of planting cover
crops to prevent the waste. Humus in
the soil gives strength and vitality to
plants. 1t furnishes the bone and mar
row to the~soil, and makes it rich in
possibilities. When the soil is drained
steadily year after year, and no new
humus added, 1t becomes lifeless, and
no amount of artificial fertilization will
compensate for the loss"
In the orchard, one of the best cover
crops, l believe, is crimson clover
(where it winters welD to be plowed
under in spring, and hairy vetch where
crimson clover will not succeed. Vetch
makes a big growth, and if left on the
ground to decay, will reseed itself.
Seed is as yet rather expensive. Grow
ers should plant lightly at first, and
raise their own seed. In Germany we
used to feed vetch seed to our poultry.

Good seeds Difficult to Procure.

Every now and then some sadly dis
appointed farmer or gardener writes
us that he would like to do so and so,
but after a trial or two has given it
up as it is impossible to get seeds that
will grow. One writes that he order
ed high-priced oat seed sending the
money and what he got was something
inferior and badly mixed with rye
and barley and what seemed to be tur-
nip seeds. Another that he sent the
money for cabbage seed and found six
weeks later that he had been sent
rape. One sent the money-25 cents
an ounce-for Bermuda onion seeds. So
it was written in pencil on the packet
and not one solitary plant ever made
its appearance.
Doubtless there are thousands who
could file their reasonable complaint
in this matter If there We're any good
in doing so. Every man or woman
that sows seeds realize the very great
uncertainty attending their efforts to
procure such as will grow.
II is a sad state Of affairs Some
remedy or attempt at a remedy is
sorely needed. What is the remedy?

IT the prince is really to see America

of the comfort of American travelling
as he creeps along from 5 o'clock in
the morning until 2:30 in the after
noon to cover 153 miles without any
thing to eat. In such a car he would

cry, children spill water all down the

and peanuts would minister to his

sweetly bawled the stations in his

ticket. These things, again alas!
Prince Henry will not see, but they
are large part of American life. He
will only gaze upon environment pre-

eyes. The barbaric splendor of the
feudalism of wealth will be unfolded
before him. But he will not really

The Trials Of the Woman Who Lives
With Her Mother-in-law

Men have joked about the mother
in-law ever since the institution of
marriage was known to the world, but
who has ever limited at the trials Of
women in this field? A man gets out
Of the house every morning aftel
breakfast, but his wife sometimes has
to spend the day with his mother, and
often she is obliged to bear endless
criticism and advice and uncongenial
talk 1t is wonderful, taken all IN all,
the patience Of women With their
mothers-in-law. The misery of the
woman who has lost her all, and who
lives just tolerated in her sons or
daughters home, is also very great.
Every family should live alone. Any
outsider is in the way-that is, If the
family is at peace within itself. The
short visit from father, mother or
sister is delightful; but the long indefi-
mite stay is dangerous to peace, and
the settling down for always is, in
nine cases out of ten, disastrous.
When the outsider who thus settles
down" in a family is an aunt 1r other
dependent hanger-on it is even worse
than in the case of the parents or
sisters of the married pair. In this
case, as in the other, it is not the
fifth wheel who is most to blame, In
every case, of course, "the fifth Wheel
should try to do something better, but
it is upon the head of the family pri-
marily that the blame must fall, even
when he allows ''the fifth Wheel to
be put on the coach at his wife's ex-
press request.-Ada C, Sweet in Won

THINGS PRINCE HENRY WON'T

bacco out of his mouth, and after care

Prince Henry's trunk, and rummage
among his linen and underwear while
the prince stands by with the air of a
convicted criminal. No vision of the
beauty of Hoboken as seen from a
ramshackle cab will burst upon Prince
Henry's eyes at the moderate cost of

not be permitted to risk his life with
the rest of us surging mortals at the

in the ribs by a worn-out nervous
street car conductor, and told to "step

way amid clinging, surging throng
of women, children, Italian workmen
and colored washerwomen, hanging on
to the straps, and swaying to and fro
as the car stops to permit six more to
squeeze on to the platform. Not for
