A Hen Worth An Obituary

A hen worth an obituary notice
was a Light Brahma hen owned by
Blacksmith Thomas Mccain, died the
other day at the age f II years and
10 months. She was a great pet
and her fame for old age and gen
eral goodness were known for miles
around. During cold weather the
hen always roasted in the shop,
where she could be seen daily in her
accustomed place, near the forge,
where the men were working at the
anvil. She had no dread for the fire
and appeared to enjoy looking on
and watch the flying sparks. This
old hen had a great record as a
mother and foster mother, as late as
last year taking charge of and rails
ing brood of chicks that were
bereft of their mother. She was
born on Mr.. McCann's birthday and
had she lived until May 16, 1905, she
would have been 18 years old. She
was buried on the lawn Of the Nc
Cam residence, Ridge Avenue, above
the Country Line, RoXborough.-

Bourbon Red Turkeys.

It seems from the many inquiries
that the Bourbon Red turkey is not
widely known. Good reader, do not
consider it the same as the Buff tur-
key. When you see it, you will see
fine, large, dark, reddish-yellow
bird with white wings and tail. In
size it attains a good weight, the
toms weighing from thirty to thirty
five pounds and hens fifteen to TWEEN
ty pounds.
The Bourbon Red turkey is truly
a domestic fowl, it is always at home
at nightfall and during the day does
not wander far away during the lay
ing season, and always see that the
young poults come to their coop at
night. We have a yard that the
turkeys are kept in during the laying
season and thus all the eggs are Sc
cured. Within this yard are placed
barrels with straw in them, which
affords excellent nests. When the
poults are Matched they are placed
in a pen made of boards about one
and one half feet wide. and are kept
in this pen until they can fly out and
then they are strong enough to fol-
low the mother.
Kind reader, if all your neighbors
have the Mammoth Bronze turkeys
and you want to replenish your pock-
ct book next fall with proceeds from
turkeys, don't hesitate to try the
Bourbon Red, Farmers Guide.

Many an Advertiser has quit just
when his advertising train was be-
ginning to move-simply because he
ceased shoveling the coal in, and
stopped to look at some advertising
express thunder by under full head
of steam. He forgot that it took
time and lots of coal and labor for
the other fellow to get sufficient
steam up to overcome inertia, and
get 60-mile-an-hour move on him.

FINLEY PREDICTED 1T.
What the Present Congressman and
Ex-State Senator Said About
the DiSpensary.

Ne reproduce elsewhere Senator
Tillman's plan for purifying the ad.
ministration of the dispensary law,
and have no hesitation in saying that
if it were net for the years of expert
enced behind us we would feel inclin-
ed to give it our endorsement.
The plan proposed by Senator Till
man is practically the same as the
original, and theoretically it seems
we'll night perfect, but practically it
has proven a failure once, and if we
are foolish enough to try the expert
ment it will do SO again.
1t was Mr. Finley. the Senator
from York county, now representing
the 9Th congressional district in Con-
gress, who said during the debate on
the original dispensary law that in
practical operation it would corrupt
any government under the sun. and
how correct was his prediction is now
known of all men.
We note with much interest what
Senator Tllman says of the incompre-
hensibility of the peoples choice for
Governor sinking so low as to steal.
1t is pretty hard to conceive of such
thing maybe, but even If Senator Till
man be so honest as all that it is lust
as we'll not to forget that there is good
reason to believe that others have
proved weaker. The whiskey business.
from its very nature, is a terrible
demoralizing one, and to separate it
entirely from corruption and graft
seems well-nigb impossible. Even
should the dispensary system be re-
organized along the lines now laid
down by Senator Tillman there is no
guarantee that it would continue clean
through more than one or two success
sive administrations. The best thing
the State can do is to get out Of the
whiskey business entirely, aid then it
will be in better position to deal
with those who persis. in engaging in
this traffic. .-Yorkville Enquirer.

IN spite Of the fact that people al

'As I have already said, the time
is hardly opportune yet for con-
certed effort along the line I have

very short While Mr.. Wilson W. be

WILSON MUST GO.
Secretary of Agriculture to Be Asked
to Resi@n-CottOn Growers
in Earnest

Washington, D. c.. Aug. PA
we'll known and prominent cotton
mill man and banker of Spartanburg,
who has been spending several dags
in Washington, is authority for the
statement that the official days Of
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson are
numbered, and that at the proper
time such great influence will be
brought to bear or the president for
his removal that he cannot remain.
Discussing this matter today, this
man said: CAS- the foundation Of the
farmers prosperity and wealth de-
pends to some extent on the secretary
of agriculture and his reports, it is
time that this great interest was be-
ing better looked after than at pres
ent I think the farmers have suffer-
cd more and borne their sufferings
:nore patiently than any other class
of people I have ever known. Others
have Teen treated badly and on max
ing known their complaints, hay e
generally been 1,elped, but the farm
ers who have suffered so much
through the gross irregularities ana
carelessness Of the department Of ag-
riculture have not been helped in the
least and have had to suffer as the re-
suit.
'.I am not a farmer in the sense
that,I actually handle hoe and plow,
though I have done it, but my inter-
ests are largely along that line, and,
having suffered through Secretary
Wilson, I have no hesitancy in ex-
pressing my opinion of the methods
employed in the department Of agri-
culture.
"While I think everybody believes
Mr.. Wilson to be honest, still there is
no doubt of the fact that he has been
imposed upon by scheming rascals
who have gotten rich off the farmers
Of the country. 1t makes little differ
ence whether these people have SUI
fered through the willful acts of the
secretary or through his carelessness,
the result is the same, and you know
that recent developments show that
he is utterly Incapable Of managing a
big thing like the department of agri-
culture. That place demands at its
head a man who is not only honest
himself, but who can tell an homes:
man from a dishonest one when he
sees him.
You may put it Gown as fact
that cotton growers Of the South are
thoroughly in earnest in their endeav-
or to have change made in the Of
Gee of secretary of agriculture. When
y man knows that his services nae
not been satisfactory to the people, he
ought, without any loss of time, 20

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, Aug. 22.-The mean tenn
perature for the week ending Monday,
August 2lst, averaged about 3 degrees
below normal, the first and last DAYS
having mad nearly normal tempera-
lures aud the mid die Of the week was
unseasona bly, ccol. especially at night.
The extremes we're maximum of 95
degrees at Florence on the 18th, and
a minimum Of SO degrees at Florence
and Greenyille on the 10th. There
were no destructive hign winds nor
hail storms.
Daily rains continued during the
first of the week over practically the
whole State, but the rainfall was much
lighter than last week and ranged from
over to less than half an inch, with
the larger amounts generally in the
North Carolina border counties, where
bottom lands were again flooded IN
places, and crops seriously damaged.
Over the central and eastern portions,
the rainfall was not materially damag-
ing, and in many places was beneficial.
The ground was generally too wet
to finish cultivating late corn over the
western counties, and frequent rains
inter- upted fodder pulling, and inter
fered with the preparation of lands
for fall truck in the coast sections, but
induced rapid growth of peas, grass
for hay. turnips and sweet potatoes,
all of which show Improvement in
condition.
While the deterioration of cotton
was not as rapid as last week, the con
ditions that causedIit have not mater
tally changed and continued complaints
ale received of excessive shedding and
the spread of rust, especially on sandy
lands Shedding was also excessive
on clay land cotton, but on such lands
the plants maintain generally healthy
condition, continue to grow and bloom.
A few correspondents report a slight
improvement. Bolls are opening rap
idly over the eastern counties where
picking is we'll under way. and few
bolls have opened in the extreme west
ern counties where picking will not
be active for a week or so.
Except on bottom lands that were
flooded, there has been marked i'm
provment in Late planted corn, which
now promises to be full crop. Peas
are growing rapidly, and sweet pota.
toes have improved, as have gardens
and other food and forage crops. Rice
harvest has begun and will be active
next week except in the Geogetowr
district. Late fruits have rotted badly.
