VICTIMS OF 1902 PENNIES,

An advertisement stated that ,
Washington clothing store would
pay "1S cents for 1909" pennies
Because of this advertisement prac.
tIcally all the 1902 pennies in th,
Piedment section of North Carolins
and In half dozen towns in South
Carolina have come into the hands
OF speculators.
Several weeks ago it was rumored
that in coming the pennies of 1902
a large amount of gold had been ac-
oidentally spilled into the molten
copper and that the govern ment
wished to recall the issue of pennies
because of their intrinsic value
Three men collected every 1902
penny to be found in the banks and
stores In Charlotte and sent agents
out OF town TO assist in collecting
pennies. These pennies rose RAPIDLY
from y to 10 cents apiece, and the
same pennies were sold to bank in
Alexandria, Va, for Is cents apiece.
Purchasers sent by baggage agents
over 5000 pennies to Washington TO
De redeemed at the Is cent valuation.
The advertisement stated that the
firm would redeem the pennies at
noon on Saturday, but before the
large sacks of Charlotte copper could
De taken to the store it was learned
that the advertisement had a string
to it. The first person to appear at
the store with pennies was Informed
that the firm had agreed to pay not
lS cents for each 1902 penny, but
lS cents for one thousand nine
hundred and two pennies.
The rumor of the chance to make
easy money has just struck the
small-town section of upper South
Carolina. and the mad scramble for
pennies is still agitatiDg the entire
population,

HOW MUCH FERTILIzER TO USE
mertcaa Fertilizer

N<t"'cfeV0f fofsttt<cf.t
This should be the question every
farmer should ask himself, and not
how little TO use. For by doubling
the quantity he can increase his
acreage, and, naturally, his profits
from his land. 1t costs no more to
pillow, harrow ard SOW an acre that
gives good return than poor yield,
which means little or no profit and
even a loss to the farmer. Now, if
by using generous quantity of fer
tilizer he could increase his WELD 30
as to give him a substantial profit,
would be not be very foolish to let
the opportunity pass? What would
you think of business man to em
ploy half the men needed to run his
factory if by running it with the full
number he could double bis percent
age of profit when he has the means
to do so and the demand for his
goods would warrant his employing
the necessary number of people?
Another instance, can man do as
good work. il he is never more than
half fed? Can q farmer save his
corn and also fatten his hogs, for a
lean hog means less weight and a
lower price?
1t is the same way with crops. If
you starve them they will be of a
poor quality and will not demand
the price per bushel. There also will
be more waste in cleaning or sorting.
You might get fairly good crop in
very favorable season, without put-
ting in fertilizers, bnt with fertilizer
you would be much more sure of q
prolific yield than il you did not use
it. We should not look for some
thing for nothing, for if we want
our crops to feed us we have to feed
our land, that it in turn may feed
our crops.
Up to a certain amount every
ponnd of fertilizers We, save means
Just 80 much less in yield or profit.
Every farmer should use rs much ms
is consistent with the nature of his
soil. If he does not he works at a
loss, as good crop costs no more to
attend to, except the harvesting and
storing, and this only from the fact
that there is greater quantity, but
even here the cost per bushel is less
as you do not have as much ground
TO go over to get bushel. The
amount of fertilizer per acre depends
upon the ground and crop to be
grown, but the average farmer uses
too little by far, while some use none
at all.
A 30-busbel crop of wheat will
remove from the soil 4S pounds of
nitrogen, . pounds of potash and 20
pounds of phosphoric acid. If the
grain alone is sold it removes from
the farm 33 pounds of nitrogen, 81
pounds Of potash and IA pounds of
phosphoric acid. Sixty bushels of
corn if taken from the farm will
remove SO pounds of nitrogen, -I3
pounds of potash and 90 pounds of
phosphoric acid.

and the duck at the hen. What a
fuss there was!--and all because the
hen accidentally stepped on the
ducks toes.
''Hii Hi! What's all tbis?' cried
the man who had the care of them.
"You may stay here" he said to the
hen; but he drove the duck to the
pond, the goose to the field, the cat
to the barn, the sheep to her fold,
the dog to the house, the COW to her
yard, and the horse to his stall. And
so all their good times were over
because the duck would not overlook
a little hurt which was not intended.
"A little explained,
A little endured,
A little forgiven,
The quarrel Is cured"

YOUNGEST YET no ELopE.

One of the most unique elopements
ever heard of in Indiana has been
reported.
Devon Getty and Ruth Arnold.
aged respectively seven and SIX years,
were the chief figures. The young
sters packed some extra clothing,
slipped away from their homes and
walked out of the town together in
the dusk of the evening. There was
alarm in the two households when
the two children were missed two
hours later. They were followed for
miles into the country and were
overtaken at farm house, where
they had stopped to rest.
When questioned by their parents
as to why they had run away, Master
Devon Getty put his arms around
little Ruth Arnold and said earnestly:
"We were going to Warsaw to be
married to each other, weren't we,
Ruth?" to which little Ruth answered.
in fearful tones:
eyes, We were, and we will try
again sometime, too"

A TOUCHING 4NcIDENr.

L. X. Covington, who is writing
in the 1Tdesoater Democrat on war
"reminiscences, has the following in
his latest article. The Captain Oliver
spoken of was native of Essex
county. His widow and son, DR..
Geo. III. Oliver, now of Berryville,
Va, are well known along the Rap
pahannock. while Mrs. w. J. Newbill
and Mrs. w. Med. Lee, of Trvington.
are nieces OF the gallant Captain.

Skull With Horns

A human skull, with horns, savors
OF the prehistoric ages, but the pres.
ence of one on farm in Oregon is
evidence that such queer things still
exist.
The owner decided to search a heap
OF stones piled up on the farm. He
threw aside the pile and found un-
derneath stones, built in grave-like
form. Three feet down skeleton
came to light. 1t belonged to short,
heavy set being of the human species.
The back joints were very heavy.
The skull contained extremely promi-
nent jaw-bones, with strange, wide
teeth. Horns about two inches long
projected from each side of the head.

GOOD ENTERTAINMENT.
The concert given by Mrs. Ella
Perry and her celebrated COMPANY
recently at the exhibition hall
on the Afro-American fair grounds,
Road View, was a grand success in
every respect. The crowd and door
receipts was largely beyond expecta-
tions.
The performances were exceedingly
good. Eli Logan and Robert Mutt
aud Misses Lizzie Thomas and Osea

made great hit.

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young !;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
TO take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget ii and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
