A Remarkable Family Record.

Nj. Madison Hearon, of Bishopville,
who was married nineteen years ago,
has nine children. -Four of them were
born on the 11th day Of December, two
years apart, three were born on the
18th day of December, two years apart,
and the last two were born Of the 3rd
day of May, three years ago. This is
certainly most remarkable record and
one which has rarely if ever been
equalled. Whenever the 11th and 18th
DAYS of December and the 3rd of May
come around there must be lively
times in the Hearon household. One
birthday creates considerable COM
motion in a household, but when
three or four Of them come on the
same day. it must be bewildering
indeed. Darlington News.

The same cause operated against

On account of insufficient ap-
preparation for the maintenance of
State troops by the recent legisla-
ture, the annual encampment of
the Mississippi National Guard
will not be held this year. 1t was
thought that competition between
towns desiring the encampment
would stimulate the subscription
to an amount which added to the
paltry sum available from the state
treasury would be sufficient to
meet the expenses but that has
failed, and Adjutant-General
Henry has announced the aban-
donment of the purpose. Conse-
quently he has ordered regimental
encampments of two or more COM
panies at such places as may be
designated by the Colonels of the
regiments, the men must pay for
their cwn transportation, subsls-
tence and all other expenses ex-
cept for camp equipage and its
transportation from and back to
jackson. The state is growing
more liberal in its appropriations
for the support of the State
Militia and subsequent to the sit
ting of next legislature it is hoped
that scarcity of funds will not en-
barrass the State Guards as it has
done this year.

The capacity of the Cuban
people for self government will be
tested earlier than was thought.
The Palma administration at the
outset denied recognition to the
negro population because of its
unfitness to discharge the func-
tions of government. This has
melted them to revolt. On the
principal street in Havana, Satur-
day, a mass of 5000 negroes con-
gregated clamoring for what they
termed their rights. Negro orators
made speeches in which they de-
manded recognition of the negro
element by the government. Presi-
dent Palma needs the spirit of
Andrew Jackson to make short
work of these dusky politicians
and retire them to the tobacco and
cane fields where they belong.

the nomination will fall Hon.
John Sharpe Williams would COM
mand a fine following for the Uni

would retire from the contest in
which he is now engaged. 1t he
is defeated he will be shelved and

he has none the advantage is evi-

his talents and statesmanship fear
tosee him risk MS opportunities in

primary election law they will be

ing This is not only II saving of time,
but allows one to get much more for
age into given space, as 1t has time
to settle. | believe that every one is
agreed that ensilage corn must have
cultivation and light and not be plant
ed too thick. But | believe that 1t is
not settled that grain in the silo Is of
as much value as the same grain dried
and fed as grain. My experience leads
me to believe that by chemical action
or by some unknown cause to me, at
least, the corn put into the silo with
the stalks is not of as much value as
the same would be If dried, ground and
fed as grain. This subject our expert
ment stations should investigate more
fully.
We are so well convinced Of this that
this spring we shall plant and raise as
good q crop OF field corn as we can,
striving especially to raise large
quantity of grain, remove the ears and
cut the stalks into the silos. If it
proves failure, we will let the read
ers OF this paper know why. But we
don't intend that 1t shall prove wrong.
On the contrary, we believe it decid-
ed step in advance, the serious ques-
ton being how to get the stalks into
good ensilage If put in as dry as they
must be if left long enough to mature
the grain. Our idea Is to have plenty
of ensilage for winter feed, enough for
summer and some left over. We will
do away entirely with green forage
crops, as they cost too much labor and
do not produce enough per acre.
