other crops. Sorghum has some mani
fest advantages over corn, as it will
grow better on thinner land, as 1t Is
harder and more vigorous and there
fore withstands drought better, and
as rule It will outyield corn. In other
words, where ten tons Of corn are put
in the silo per acre, you can count on
from thirteen to fifteen tons Of sor-
ghum. Sorghum can be handled as cas-
lily as corn, and will keep just as long
if not put up too green. II placed In
a rotation so as to come on the land
once in five years it will not fnjure the
ground It would be mistake to at
tempt to grow sorghum year after year
on the same land, unless it were pos
sible to plow under some crop like
crimson clover, and apply heavy
amounts Of phosphates and potash each
year. By utilizing sorghum for silagel
on many Southern farms and growing
some peas for hay, the crop can be
fed as grain and the shredded stoyer
and pea hay used as dry roughness and

Fatal ARRAY.

Greenville, Special.-As a result OF
an attack made upon Special Officer Eli
Pittman by Newmen Burns and George
Rigdon Sunday night at midnight,
Burns is dead and the officer is painful
ly wounded. The killing occurred in
the American Spinning Company's
village, on the Buncombe road, oppo-
site the Reuben Smith residence.
Several men standing nearby rushed
to the officers aid and dragged Rig
don off. Burns fell unconscious and
died in 30 minutes. Drs. Wright and
Earle were called and gave the officers
wounds attention. The wounds, while
painful, are not dangerous. His upper
lip was laid open and several gashes
were cut across the back Of the head.
Officer Pittman is regular deputized
officer and in attempting to arrest
Burns and Rigdon the two men made
a murderous assault upon him, Rig-
don seizing and. holding the officer,
while Burns slashed him with knife
about the head and face. The officer,
by superhuman effort, freed his right
arm and seizing his pistol, fired three
Shots at Burns, two Of which took eff
feet, one in the center OF the throat,
the other on the side OF the neck,
severing the juglar vein. Rigdon was
lodged in Jail and Officer Rttman. after
his wounds were dressed, came to the
city and surrendered to the sherif.
The men cursed the officer and the at
tack was unwarranted, so the witnesses
state. Rigdon is known to be bad

There was a wide range of ftempera-
ture during the week ending 8 a. m.
June 18th, from SO at Florence bn the
sth to a minimum of 40 at Greenville
on the 10th, after which the tempera-
ture rose slowly to about normal at
the close Of the week. The cool nights
were damaging to cotton and tobacco.
Fresh to brisk northeast winds prevafN-
ed during the night Of the Sth and on
the 9th, which in places, was somewhat
detrimental. A severe hail storm occur
red in York county. Sunshine was in
excess.
With the exception of light showers
in York and Greenwood counties and
trace Of rain in places on the coast, the
week was without rain, and in places
there has been no rain in over two
weeks. The ground has become baked
and crusted in places, rendering them
hard to cultivate, thus increasing the
difficulty of ridding fields Of grass and
weeds. Although but few crops are ac-
tually suffering the need Of rain is
felt in all parts Of the State.
There is but slight improvement in
cotton, and that only where cultiva-
tion was early and thorough. There is
some yet to be chopped, and many
fields continue grassy and some have
been abandoned, although the greater
part Of the crop has been cleaned. The
cool nights checked growth, and the
plants are generally understood, and in
places have a yellow cast and lack
thriftiness Lice continue damaging in
the central and eastern counties. The
first upland bloom was reported from
Bamberg county on the 4th, and the
first sea-island from Charleston on the
9Th. Sea-island cotton is in a promis-
ing condition, being clean and grow
ing rapidly.
There has been no marked improve
ment in corn which, as rule is small,
in places yellow, and many fields lack
cultivation end are foul. Early corn IS
tasselling aud being laid by in the
eastern and southern counties. Bottom
lands have about all been planted in
the west, but bud worms have been
destructive Sc that stands are badly
broken.
Rice is doing well, and June planting
is nearly finished. Tobacco was adverse
ly affected by the cool nights; in
Marion county the tobacco crop is poor,
and very unpromising. Melons improV-
ed recently. Wheat harvest made rapid
progress, under favorable conditions,
but the yields are poor, owing to the
prevalence of rust. Oats harvest is fin.
ished in places and nearly so in all
parts of the State. While generally
poor, in places the yields are good.
The commercial peach crop is ripenfng
fast. and shipments are heavy. The
quality Of the fruit is good. Gardens
need rain. Minor crops are, as a rule,
doing well.--? W. Bauer, Section Di-
rector.

A Mcnentary Problem.

A man in Chicago has 500 cents
which he can't spend, can't sell, can't
melt up, can't give away, and which
he can't even keep. At least if he
does any of these things he is break
ing the law, and he hasn't figured out
the answer yet. He is proprietor of
a number of penny-!n-the-slot ma
chimes. and the SEQ pennies are the
muti!ated coin that the machines
have accepted in six months without
mis- consent. He can't sell them for
Junk copper, because they are bad
money; he can't pass them off as pen
nies for the reason that they are bad
pennies and might cause MIN to pass
some time in Jail, and if he keeps
them he is liable for carrying bad
money. Technically, the owner OF the
pennies violates the law whatever he
does with them.-Kansas City Jour

The Cabbage. Louise.

The cabbage louse, having safely
passed through an unusually hard win
ter, is now satisfying his ravenous ap-
petite at the expense Of cabbages, tur-
nips, mustard, etc.
This insect must not te confused
with the harlequin bug or with the
common cabbage worms. The cabbage
louse is very small, gray, soft-bodied
louise that gathers in great numbers
on the leaves and stems Of the cabbage
and does damage by sucking the sap
from the plant.
On account of the fact that 1t sucks
the sap, instead Of eating the leaves,
it cannot be fought satisfactorily by
using Paris green or other similar
poisons.
Last year we had experience with
this insect, and found very simple
and effectual remedy. Ordinary laun-
dry soap, dissolved in water at the rate
of one and one-half pounds to four
gallons of water and applied thorough
ly with a spray pump, will certainly
kill them. If the soap be cut into thin
pieces and boiled in two gallons of
water it will quickly dissolve, when
cold water May be added ID make the
four gallons. 1t should then be ap-
piled while still warm.
1t may not be altogether easy to
make a thorough application. When
the plants are badly infested the
leaves become very much curled, so
that it is difficult to reach the lice.
Here we see the advantage Of max
ing the application early, before the
leaves get curled. But even If they are
curled it is quite practicable to have a
boy, barefoot and with sleeves rolled
up, to accompany the sprayer. and rap
idly turn the leaves from side to side
while the application is being made.
If taken in time, one application viii
usually be sufficient. Otherwise. it
may be necessary to give second
treatment. week or ten days later.
By following these directions many
thousands Of plants were saved last
year.-Franklin Sherman, Jr, Ento-

Cheapest Way to as. Flowers.

We want shrubs on every home place
in America because they furnish more
flowers for less money and care and for
longer period Of years than any other
plants. True, some trees have big
flowers and lots Of them, but they are
higher up in the air, while a bush Is
just where you can see it and smell It.
Shrubs are more permanent than
"perennials," and they are nothing
like the bother ANNALS are. You plant
trees for posterity, but shrubs for your
self, also. You get flowers the second
year, if you pay decent price, and
if you go away for summer, the place
does not look like an abandoned home.
The plain truth is that home without
shrubbery is all wrong. Shrubbery Is
just as necessary to place as clothing
to a man. Nine times out Of ten the
straight line where building meets
the ground should be hidden by shrubs.

Feeding Value of Corn and Cob Meal.

Feeding Value of Corn and Cob Meal.
There is no reason why corn and cob
meal should not be fed to cattle, sheep
and hogs. 1t can be fed to these classes
Of stock without regrinding, though
better results will as a rule follow re.
grinding, as the particles are finer and
more quickly acted upon by the diges-
tive juices. In finely ground condf"
ton the sharp particles Of the cob are
not so likely to injure the digestive Or
gans. One of the great advantages OF
grinding the grain and cob together Is
that it lightens the grain which is rich
and heavy and not always thoroughly
digested and assimilated. Corn and
cob meal will, of course, give better
results as a rule when fed in combina-
ton with other grains, and If used for
young and growing stock a liberal
amount of some concentrate rich in
protein should be incorporated in the
