BUYS A SYSTEM.
Atlantic Coast Line Acquires Great
Property.

The Atlantic Coast Line Rail way has
purchased the Plant System. The
Coast Line has always been n of the
best managed and most successful Of
Southern roads. Its trains will now
go over its own lines 300 miles South of
Jacksonville to the West Coast of
Florida.
This is Of interest to Laurens be-
cause the Atlantic Coast Line owns the
Charleston and Western Carolina. The
Plant System has 1000 miles of track
age, chiefly in Florida and by purchas-
ing it the Coast Line becomes one Of
the largest systems in the South.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Palms and ferns should never be al
lowed to stand In n draft.
When moss is seen on fruit trees, 1t
may be zen as evidence of lack OF
thrift in the trees.
The ideal soil In which to set plant
is one that is moist, without being wa
ter soaked, neither too dry nor too wet.
Dust is n great enemy Of window
plants in connection with dry heat.
Care must be taken to keep the air
moist.
In India the tea plant is naturally
tree, but by means of pruning 1t is kept
so small that it seems to be only
bush.
For setting in dry soil the plant
should be well rooted and stocky as 1t
must depend on the roots it already
has to make start.
Vines of all kinds flower and fruit
freely only after they have reached the
top of their support. When they have
arrived" they set about blooming.
Peonics should be planted in October.
Once planted they should not be dis
turbed, but should be allowed to form
strong clumps. Thus treated the flow
ers increase in size and beauty with
each succeeding season.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.

There is good deal more to farming
than doing the work.
Every farm should have head man.
Don't growl at and overburden the
hired man with work one day, and then
pet him the next to redeem yourse +.
Expect fair days work every day and
treat him well all the time.
Talking during the time of milking is
not allowed on well-regulated farms.
Business and pleasure go hand in hand
with the successful farmer.
A careful observer may get many valu-
able lessons from the successes and fail
ures of others.
Personal experience is all right, but
don't try too much of it on borrowed
money.
One of the first principles of agricult-
ure should be thorough knowledge of
fertilizers.
Stable manure contains all the ele-
ments of commercial fertilizers and
more; it supplies humus, an important
and lasting element of soil; it is the part
that comes from decaying vegetables OF
animal matter.
Commercial or chemical fertilizers
contain no humus and add no lasting
element of fertility to the soil. 1t is
well to thoroughly understand this, then
it will not be expected that the best
results can be realized by using such
fertilizers in soil deficient in humus.
How to economically feed stock in the
barn and crops in the field, and get good
results, are scientific problems. Many
scientific question has been ably dis
cussed in the country stores. Every
farmer is in some degree a natural
scientist.
A little extra time taken to do work
extra well, is time saved. ANY time
spent on poor work is wasted. Don't
be hap-hazard farmer.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1902-03-11

Craig watched her silently. He was
wise enough to know that 1t was best
to permit the storm to pass without in
terruption. He felt that great reve-
lation had fallen upon him like flood
Of light. A great pity for her filled his
heart. He knew how engagements are
entered into in Spanish countries and
that the woman is never consulted re-
garding the choice that is made for her,
and he knew-he thought he knew
that this woman had loved Burr.
That of itself was sufficient In his
heart to render her and her wishes
dear to him. He asked himself in that
moment Of waiting, IF l, a man, loved
Burr PendletOn so dearly, how utterly
must she, a woman. have loved him."
When her sobs ceased, he was stand
ing beside ner, and he touched her gen.
tly upon her shoulder. He forgot his
own harsh words, forgot that he had
uttered them, for he knew, in the other
and greater sorrow, she had not heed
ed them.
"Was he so dear to you, senorita?"
he asked. "Did you love Burr like
that?"
She raised her face and looked into
his eyes. Then she rose and stood be-
side him.
"Yes," she said. 81 loved him. think
l would have worshiped him had he
Ia N I N
love, but he died without knowing it
without knowing me-"
"Without knowing you!" repeated
Craig. IL do not understand"
She placed one delicate hand OH ei-
ther of his shoulders and looked stead
lily into his eyes with an expression
that Craig Wyndham never forgot.
"You were his friend, and you will
be my friend" she said. "Mr. WynG-
ham, Burr Pendleton's father was ny
father. He was my brother. was his
sister, and he is dead and never knew
it. oh. if ! had only told him all that
night, But | did not dare-l did rot
dare. You will believe me? You will
not doubt me? He was my brother
my brother! And was so proud OF
him! | loved him-I loved him"
In her great sorrow she forgot al!
else. She remembered only that she
was in the presence of the man who
had been her brothers friend and who
would he her friend, and she laid her
hpad AGAINST his StalWart shoulder and
wept anew.

In India 1t is from forty-one to forty

neither could foresee what grave COM
plications this arrangement was des-
tined to bring about.
A moment later Craig bade the sister
Of his friend good night and was driv-
en- to the Waldorf, where for ten min
utes he showed himself conspicuously
in the corridors. Then he had himself
driven directly to his own apartments.
1t was midnight when he entered,
and the party were Just leaving the
card table to devour the ample spread
that had been prepared for them by
Wyndham's orders.
OF course they chaffed him about his
absence. Men always do that sort Of
thing, and Wyndham expected it. Es-
cudera alone had nothing to say re-
gGrdiDg the matter.

fish AND GAME LAWS,

The leaven which has been dumped into
the laws of Maine by the fish and game
commission is working, but in a differ
ent manner from what its promoters an
ticipated. A writer from the county of
Aroostook talks out in meeting after
this fashion,:
1.-THE farmers and common people in
my part of the country, and, l guess,
those of the whole state, are totally dis
gusted with the Maine game laws. 1t
always seems as if the attempt were
being made to have it appear that the
burdens and hardships were to fall upon
the sportsmen who annually invade the
state from Boston and from about every
where else. As matter of fact, 1t is
the Maine farmers who suffer. The
preference is given the outside sports
man every time. The farmer is given
the privilege of protecting his own fields,
and that is about all, but 1t is even sug-
gested now that the farmers are to be
obliged soon to take out licenses.
"Shoot man-they shoot lots of 'em
down my way, as you know if you read
the papers-and they call it mistake.
Shoot moose, and it means 500 fine.
| tell you we of Maine are on the edge
of revolution in this business. The
Aroostook farmers, who toll much for
small return and have no pleasures,
are alive to the fact that upon their own
soil they should have something like
equal rights with the wealthy, pleasure
loving citizen of Boston or of New York.
The laws are replete with Inconsistencies
and incongruities. For several years,
for instance, the game commissioners
offered a special bounty on wolves.
That looked generous. But the bounty
has never been claimed, for the good and
sufficient reason that there are no wolves
in the State. If the feeling keeps on
rising, the end will be free shooting for
ALL"
The above, which appeared in the
columns of the Boston Herald, sizes up
the situation to nicely, and expresses
the feeling of the entire State. Unless
all signs fail, that department is liable
to be brought up with jerk in the next
session of the Legislature.-Lewiston
Journal.

Ing. it occurred to Craig to
glance in the direction of the duenna.
Apparently she had not moved or
glanced in their direction. for she was
still placidly engaged upon that indie
scribable work.
1t was Craig who broke the silence.
"Aliss Pendleton." he began. and she
looked up in amazement. THAT is

She raised one hand and stopped him.

interrupted her.
"YOu have forgotten something, Car

"My given name."

of how your half brother came to his
death would shock you; because al
ready knew the name Of the man who
killed him and only awaited evidence
to convict him Of the crime, and that
man, the man who killed Pendleton, is
your present companiOn-this man who
sits opposite you at the table,"
Wyndham rose slowly from his seat
and. taking a step forward, confronted
Escudera.
"Senor Escudera," he said, also
speaking Spanish, ut Is my misfor-
tune or good fortune, whichever you
choose to call it, to understand you. 1t
is certainly my good fortune to recog-
nize in you a despicable scoundrel.

of the lady, or shall CALI
He did not have time to complete
what he would have said, for the Mex.
lean, who now lost every vestige OF self
control, started back and with rapid
motion thrust his right hand into the
opening of his waistcoat.
In an instant 1t was out again, and
something-even the duickness Of the
eye could not determine what it was
cleaned in his grasp.
The hand was drawn back. Carmen
uttered a low cry. Wyndham started
forward, for he knew perfectly well
the meaning of that gesture, the one
that had hurled death into the heart Of
Burr Pendleton, and he intended to
seize the Mexican before he could cast
the. terrible missile. But Escudera's
wrist was seized from behind, the
weapon was torn with sudden wrench
from his grasp. and he stood before
them like writhing serpent whose
fangs have been drawn.
Nobody had noticed Maria. the duen-
ma. Her presence was utterly forgot
ten. but she was Mexican Indian wo-
man, and she knew the man who had
interrupted the luncheon. During the
scene she stole behind him, as If she
anticipated what he would do. or sus-
pected that he might do it, and when
he drew back his hand to-cast the
weapon she tore the implement from
him and left him harmless.
In the excess Of passion under which
the Mexican struggled 1t is not strange
that his rage turned upon the woman
who had disarmed him. He wheeled
like lightning and seized her by the
throat with both hands, but his fingers
had scarcely time to tighten before
