In Memorian.

Manuel Simeon Corley passed from
his earthly life today, n year ago,
at his home at Lexington, S. c, IN
the SOth year of his age. Being a
poor boy. he learned in his childhood
how to combat adverse circumstances
and he began early in life these
beeat habits of self-reliance and for
titude-the foundation of his exalted
character. When a young man he
consecrated himself to Christ. As a
Christian he labored zealously IN
various capacities in the church and
otherwise for the advancement and
smeliorstion ct his fellowmen. 10
him as a Sunday school teacher the
writer owes his first appreciation OF
the saving and sustaining efficacy OF
the Gospel of Christ and with deep
gratitude ascribes to him Christian
influences which had much to do
with whatever of usefulness he has
attained to in this world. His firm
adherence to the principles of right
and his hatred and incorporating
hotility to whatever he considered
wrong and unjust, either in individ-
nails or in government, were conspic-
nous and consistent throughout his
long life, and won the admiration OF
all friends and opponents. In all
his relations to his fellowmen, as a
Christian man in the humble walks
of life, as a citizen in his fidelity to
his country, as q representative in
Congress, he illustrated the nobless
qualities Of man. He was uuiver-
sally beloved as generous, kind, hon
est, honorable and true.
Some day "when the clouds are
rifted, in the land of the true, where
We live anew" midst the splendors
of that beautiful land, we hope to
see him again with his crown of vic
tory respondent with the many stars
won in the conflict here.

fought trial of three days, Henry
Patrick was convicted of murder.
He will not hang, however, as the

Patrick is the man who killed biz
wife here just a month ago tonight
He did not employ counsel and the
court appointed Messrs. D. D. Nc.
Coll, Jr., and j. w. LeGrand to
undertake the defense. They made
an earnest and Jealous fight for their
client, leaving no stone unturned, and
succeeded in saving his neck.

A Gang Of Burglars.

Aiken was recently visited by the
slickest gang of burglars that ever
struck that unusually quiet city
The residences of four prominent
citizens were entered and burglarized
of jewelry and money in amounts
ranging in value from $3.50 to $1,000
Several other houses in the city were
visited during the night but for some
reason these we're not entered. No
one knows how many men we're in
the gang but it is thought there were
several as the work of robbery was
all done during the earliest and dark.

rather have the heap out doors than in a

there are cattle trampling it the result will
approximate that from box stalls. But
where the manure is heaped in covered

our opinion about box stall manure sup

when slaVeS-is superficial, and does not
touch the substantial merits Of the ques-
ton. 1t does not embrace the fact that
scarcely any of the plantations on which
cotton was grown under slavery are near
" up to the mark OF production before
the war, and 1t leaves out of view the
great number of small white farmers who,
under the advice of the former grow
crs, have begun for the first time to raise
cotton the numerous bands of white Ia
borcrs who have aVailed themselves Of
the abundant opportunities of renting
and cropping from year to year, the
white villagers who have thrown their
sickles into the common harvest-though
small their patches individually, yet con
siderable in the aggregatc-and the cloud
Of white planters and their families re
duced to poverty, who have been the
foremost to go down into the Western
bottoms and there and elsewhere have
bent with noble fortitude and ardor to
labor in the fields It would be misap-
prehension to take the cotton crop as the
product of negro labor in the same sense
as it was before the war. The inter
mixture of white labor in the cotton cul-
ture OF the South is already large, and
though the forms under which the land
are cultivated are various, yet the gen
eral distribution betwixt large plantations
wrought by negroes under white employ
ers and small farms wrought chiefly by
white people remains a prominent feature
of the new state of things the practical
force of which is felt more year by year.
The process then noted has continued
until the present day, with some t1uctua-
tions. In 1900 cotton was ginned in fif-
teen States and two Territories. OF these

less than 16O bales, may be disregarded in

LIME, SULPHUR AND SALT.

We hope that all Of our readers who
have the San Jose scale insect on their
place will during the coming winter, try
the California mixture of lime, sulphur
and salt on the trees. 1t will not do to
attempt this before the leaves fall but
IFS soon us winter sets in or earlier, as
soon as the leaves fall, prepare the mix
ture and apply it. 1t is reported caustic
potash can be used i'll the place of salt and
the mixture used cold. We will try this,
loo, and hope that it is true, for the long
boiling OF the other mixture is great
Inconvenience. The dormant season is the
only time when peach trees can be safely
sprayed with anything, since the leaves are
SO tender that almost any spray will
cause them to fall in summer. If the
white spray is applied in the early sprins
it viii also have some tendency to re
trd the blooming of the trees, and will
thus make the crop more certain where
