Within the last ten years South
Carolina has made two discoveries
sor.h c...,,.. which are mainly
wonderful because
they were not mado
before. The state has found that it
is commercially profitable to raise
Strawberries and tobacco on large
scale. Strawberry culture was until
q few years ago limited to the
truck farms near Charleston, but the
discovery that they would flourish ON
land where cotton was no longer
profitable has brought prosperity to
the Pee Dee country. Land which
long yielded but $40 an acre on cot
ton now turns in $500 an acre on
strawberries. Tobacco raising be-
came profitable from the moment
some bold spirit made up his mind to
test the old saying that the Indian
weed would not flourish in South Car
DINA. This year the tobacco crop Of
the state will reach 10000, 900 pounds.
Before 1894 the tobacco crop Of
South Carolina was almost nil. South
Cardinals experience, as the New
York Post has pointed out, shows
that land exhausted by long planting
to one particular crop may prove very
productive to another.

When you 60 deer hunting, the bsss
thing yon can do Il to stay at home. II
Advice to D... you feel that you
u. must go, wear red
cap and red coat.
In this way, according to Forest and
Stream, you can lose only leg or an
arm. If several of you can make up
party, the safest thing to do is to
stretch out in line about 200 yards
apart. Then. as you go forward At
about the same pace, let each member
of the party whistle at regular inter
walls, SO he can keep track with the
man on each side of him. In this way
you will be able to keep your line fairly
regular. and ought to get through
each day with the loss of only few Of
the party. 1t gives the deer good
warning OF your presence, but in deer
hunting these days the main thing ID
not SO much to get deer as to secure
personal safety. By the way, as 10
that hunting in line, it really was done
by some eastern gentlemen who made
hunt in the Rocky mountains near
the Two Medicine country, few years
ago. Their guide objected, stating
that if they went through the woods
SO closely together, and making SO
much noise, they would not see any
game. They replied that they were
little lonesome in the woods and would
be much more comfortable if allowed
to whistle and keep track of each
other in this way. They didn't kill
anything, but had very pleasant
time.

there was a very heavy increase in

of more than $4,000.
Italy and Austria-Hungary contrib

years immigration, the number of ar
rivals from Italy being larger than
from any other country; the influx
from Russia, Germany, Norway and
Sweden, Greece and the United King
dom was also very heavy.

Western Asia,

Western Asiatics and Europeans
have INDUCED in the practice of kiss
ing for several thousand years, and in
the past much more frequently than is
now customary in the United States.
Men in America never think of kissing
one another. But elsewhere and in oth-
er ages the custom is and was common
in addition to the kissing of children
and women. 1t may be seen from this
that the world is moving ahead. Now
the question is whether the kissing
habit cannot be entirely relegated to
the rear.
