How to Ensure a Good Stand.
Mr.. James Bigger, quite a successful
small farmer Of the Bethany neighbor-
hood, took occasion to advise the re-
porter last Saturday, that there are
good stands of cotton up his way on
both red and sandy lands. Il have
nothing but red lands" he said, "and
I never had a better stand Of cotton In
my life. And" he continued, TIL tell
you the reason. I prepared my land
we'll and waited until the ground got
warm enough to germinate the seed be-
fore planted. This is what it takes to
ensure a good stand. Put your land IN
good condition, wait until the ground
gets warm and then be sure you plant
at least bushel or five pecks to the
acre. That is the rule Of my neighbor,
Mr.. John Matthews, and you never
hear him complaining Of failure to get
a stand"
Child Dies From Whisky.
A four-year- child Of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. H. Lucas. who live in the Ia
vora mill quarter Of Yorkville, died last
Sunday afternoon as the result Of over
indulgence in whisky. 1t seems that
the child's parents had been accustom-
ed to giving it whisky almost as 1t
pleased and during the day its father
gave it some Xxx corn and its mother
gave it some rum or gin. Later 1t want
ed more and because 1t was refused
seemed to grow quite angry: but pres
emily remarked, "Ts junk" and fell
into convulsions. DR.. w. G. White was
sent for and did what he could to re-
vive the unfortunate little fellow; but
was unable to accomplish anything.
Not only had the child taken more
whisky than its system could stand;
but there had elapsed sufficient time
for the alcoholsto become assimilated
in the circuiationsand the paralysis
that followed was scomplete. There
has been no official investigation OF
this rather unusual case.
