great length. The state department
positively declines to make public, the

to be looked for in the utterances Of
President Roosevelt in his annual mes
sage to congress touching the Monroe
doctrine in its application to South
American countries which do not pay
their debts.
Nothing has been heard from Cara

States Minister Bowen, through urgent
representations, has induced post

instru ctions to that effect have been
given Mr.. Bowen though 1t is admitted

1t shows how it is used for the de-

incomplete but it is useful in showing
how Valueless are those SO called in

names of Slug Shot, Bug Death,
"Black Death" etc.
A previous bulletin issuing last year
bearing the title "Important Insecu-
cides" and numbered 1877 is a more
complete disquisiton on the subject.

plant protection. 1t can still be had.
The Department at Westinghouse
also issued a seperate bulletin upon
"Fungicides", preventors of disease,
but we do not remember the number.
nearly all the State Stations have is
sued one or more bulletins on these

To these of our readers who are not
already fully informed upon these mat

ever attempts to grow anything must
know something about fighting disease

Insecticides and Fungicidcs

Never was there a time before when
there was greater need for the cultiva-
tor of the soil to possess certain in
formation as is the case at this time.
Year after year both insects and dis
eases have been multiplying until we
have arrived at a period when for a
farmer, gardener or fruit grower to he
ignorant of the best methods of CON
tending with them will put him at a
great disadvantage. He sees this fair
ly illustrated in the case of the Col
orado potato bug There are very few
sections in the South we presume
where it has failed to put in its an
pearance.
The potato grower that attempts TO
grow the vegetable without being pre-
pared to protect his crop with a suita-
BILE remedy will find his work of plant
ing and cultivating all thrown away in
all probability.
our National Department of Agri-
culture and the various State Expert
ment Stations all realize the impor
tance of the subject and are constant
ly experimenting and issuing bulletins
advising farmers and others as to the
best means of protecting their crops
from the various insects and diseases
that infest them. 1t Is a great pity
that more farmers than do cannot re-
ceive and make use of the instructions
so freely offered to them. We learn
that only a small per cent of farmers
truckers and fruit growers get The
benefits of these instructive bulletins
freely prepared for them They do not
get them just simply because they do
not apply for them. II is a fact that
there are great many farmers and
others who do not know Of the exls-
tence of these bulletins prepared both
by the Department at Washington and
at their own Experiment station: and
even those from other states are OBJ
tamable all without n cent OF cost be-
yond the 2 cent postage and the trouble
of making an applicantion. And our

SOUTH CAROLINA.

Greenville News: r. D. Crittenden,
brother of Col. S. S. Crittenden of this
city, who left Greenville in 1s49 when
only twenty-one years old, is now liv-
ing at Fort Rangle, Alaska, on the Pa
cific coast. Col. Crittenden received a
letter from his brother several days
ago in which he stated that at Fort
Rangle the temperature this winter
had not reached as low as 10 degrees
above zero. Here in Greenville the low
est temperature has been above zero.
This marked difference is said to be
due to the nearness of the Japan cur
rent to Alaska. After leaving Green
vile Mr.. Crittenden made his home
for number of years in Eldorado
county, California, and at the time the
Civil War broke out represented that
county in the state Senate. At the de-
claration of war, however, Mr.. Critten-
den returned 10 South Carolina and
fought during the war with men of his
native state. He was adjutant general
under Brigadier General Anderson.
Near the close of The war; Mr.. Critten-
Gen was coptured and put in prison at
Fort Lafayette, New York.

CuItivating the Young Orchard.

The cultivation of a young orchard
insures better trees and quicker grow
ing ones, so that of two orchards the
one that is stimulated in it's early
stages will always show a marked su-
9eriority over the neglected one. Gull
tivat!on of the orchard means some
thing more than the mere stirring of
the soil and the turning under of the
weeds and plant growth. There should
be some crops planted in the young
orchard regularly, not for the purpose
of raising crops therefrom, but for
turning under to increase the fertility
of the land. There is no better crop
for the young orchard than cowpeas.
These should be planted freely, and
turned under the following spring. In
planting and cultivating it should be
remembered that early cultivation is
the best. Cultivation later than the
1st of July is dangerous. Up to this
time any crop can be cultivated among
the young trees, but after that date
the soil should be left alone.
BY properly planting crops and turn
ing them under when the orchard is
very young we store up fertility for
future use that will pay. The young
trees may not be able to absorb and
use, up all the fertility stored there by
an annual crop of cowpeas or clover;
but in time the roots of the trees viii
spread and find this stored-up energy

Early County News: Col. Estill is
making a quiet and dignified canvass
of the state in the interest of his cam
didacy for Governor. We trust he will
pay Blakely visit during April court
and let the people of Early county see
what a real nice man he is.
Crawfordville Advocate Democrats
Col. i. H. Estill is truly the candi-
date of the people. He is tied to no
ring or slatemakers. He would not
countenance such and he should be
our next Governor.
Americus Times Recorder: Hon. j.
H Estill, candidate for Governor. is
a man of the strongest convictions for
the right. He is outspoken on all pub
lie questions and no trimmer" as
will be see by his attitude on the liquor
question.
Irwinton Bulletin: They say now
that most all the wool hat newspapers
and also most of the dked up. silk
hat editors of the cities are for Estil
for Governor. It's a poor fraternity
of any kind that won't stick to-
gether!
Montezuma Record: Hon. Warner
Hill has given Hon. Joe Terrell, 120
counties to begin his campaign with.
Mr.. Hill is the most liberal man we
have heard of. Guerry and Estill had
better get them one like him. But

months test will be made.
Though evidently superior for milk
and butter qualities the test did not
shcw that the HoIsteins were equal
to the Shorthorns for the single quail
ity of beef; still it showed that they
were valuable for tfilt quality.
1t must be stated, too. that in car
rying off the first prize the milk of
the Holsteins was shown to have q
lesser ratio of solices than any of the
other breeds-having u per cent. while
the Polled Jersey showed 1879 per cent.
In the long run this makes no great
practical difference, to be sure, for it
is more than Offset by a greater pro-
duction OF milk. But, as remarked,
there are still other breeds that are
we'll worth owning and breeding. Don't

WAS SOLDIER MURDERED.

Augusta Tribune: Was there foul
play in the death of r.. M Bussey,
whose body was found cold in death IN
cheap lodging house night before
LAST 1t is true that the coroner's jury
returned verdict OF suicide. but since
this verdict was rendered circum-
stances have come to light that do not
tally with the suicide theory, or at
least need explanation. When the body
was found the pockets were empty. Not
only was no money found on his person,
but no papers, watch or other articles
of value. 1t is now known positively
that the dead man had a considerable
sum of money shortly before death
came to him. He was in j. r. Ham
let's barber shop, and while there pur-
chased a gold watch chain. and had
roll of money of considerable size,
supposed to have amounted to at least
500 or $50. 1t is also known now that
he sold two bales of cotton in Edge
field just before coming to Augusta.
Neither The money. nor papers indi-
eating what was done with it were
found with him. There are not want
ing those who firmly believe that it
was not a case Of suicide, but of. murz
der. and who think that the authori-
ties should endeayor to clear up this
matter

STORY OF 4 FoRGEp CHECK.

Quitman Free Press. 1t is reported
here that the Bank of Quitman was re-
Gently the loser on a forged check for
the sum of about $735, bat it is impos-
sible to get the facts. The story goes
that d. 7. Ray. in Southern Alabama,
is a heavy depositor with the Bank of
Quitman. BY some means another man,
named Hatfield. became aware of the
fact and obtained a blank check and
forged the others name. Later the Of
ficers in the county where Hatfield was
attempted his arrest, there being three
in the party. In the melee that fol-
lowed Hatfield shot two of the officers,
whereupon the third man filled him
with buckshot He is now in Jail. it is
supposed, at Andalusia. Ala. All of the
parties, while being badly shot, will
recover, so it is said. Sheriff Conoly
made trip out there last week, but
he is very mum. Mr.. Frank Spain, Jr.,
assistant cashier. returned from Ala
bama Wednesday. but he declines pos
itively to talk. Other parties here who
know the facts are equally silent,
therefore only the most meager details
of the story can be given, and these
are not vouched for. Hatfield is said
to be member of the famous Hat
feld-McCoy gang in Kentucky and
therefore desperate man.
