Does a watch run better lying flat on
its back or on edge? I put this question
to half score OF dealers and none an
swered II. Apparently none had thought
of 1t. Perhaps a majority of them place
their watches under the pillow at night
where they lit flat down for about eight
hours. During the remaining sixteen
hours they are on edge in the pocket A

Prot. Newman Talks to Farmers.

Prof. C. L. Newman spoke at
length in meeting of the insti.
tute here, on general agricultur.
al subjects. He said that fhe
farmers allow others to do their
thinking for them. The farmers
generally hold q contempt for
science and scientific farming.
Science means truth or rather
truth applied" said Mr.. New
man.
The object of farming is pri-
marlly to produce a crop that
will make profit. How can the
most be made of q crop? Let
the farmer use his mind and see
Ihere IS a way to increase his
yle;d one hundred per cent. ,
End this by three ways: First,
by improved cultivation he can
increase the crop one third: by
fertilization he can increase it
one third; and by the improve
ment of variety, one third.
The matter of variety is of gre. !;
Importance. The variety bel
suited for the particular sd
should always be chosen, and
the variety should not be
allowed to play out.
One way to improve cotton is
by crossing it. This is not ef-
fected in the way that most
people think, viz: by mixing the
seed and then planting, or diff
ferent kinds in alternate rows.
The pollen of the male must be
shaken off into the cup of the
1emale 2aant of the Qthe- varic
way, except that the wind car
ries the pollen.
In talking about the cultiva-
tion of peas, Mr.. Newman said
that acids and potash were the
best fertilizers for any kind of
peas. And pea-vines should
never be ploughed UNDER" said
he, you can cut them and sell,
then buy fertilizers, which will
be better, and thus make some
thing on the transaction"
with all the good lands lying
idle around here, the farmers
should by all means raise more
cattle. 1t is a paying business"

spread, of which every one par
took and there was much of the
fragments that were taken up.
The dinner hour was quite a
social occasion, for many old
friends met and dined together
who had not seen each others
faces in the last twenty years.
The people returned to the
house and after songs by the
congregation and prayer by w.
H. S. Harris, addresses were
made by Messrs. w. H. S.
Harris, D. T. G. Gregory, and
Rev. j. R. Funderburk. Two
record books were exhibited by
the church clerk. Mr.. R. S.
Long, which contained the min
utes of the church from it's foun-
dation to the present
with the exception of a
few years of it's early history.
The minutes show that the
church was organized in June
1906 and from then until 1845
were not altogether regular and
the following preachers names
occur as pastors of the church:
Elias Mitchell, Littlejohn;
Ambrose Ray, Thomas Ray, and
from 1845 there were: j. G..
Kendrick. G. G. Vaughan, Wat
tie Morehead, James T. Jeter,
Camillus Jeter, T. w. Smith, J.
G. Carter, John Gibbs, G. w.
Philips, James Humphries, Ian
drum Ezell, - Russell, A.
McA. Pittman, j. D. Bailey, and
J. G. Lawson. These, however,
do not include all the pastors
that ever served this historic
church. A collection was taken
for state missions and after song
service the pastor offered q
fervent prayer for the future
success of the church and then
pronouced the benediction.
Thus ended a day in honor OF
God and the church which he in.
spired in the hearts of some OF
his faithful servants to establish
at that place one hundred years
ago. w. H. S. HARRIS.

Cotton Exchange vs.. Bucket Shop.

There is much interest in the
result of the councils act of re-

license to stock exchanges in
Union. A stock exchange is an
establishment that receives quo

TiIIman to Speak at Union.

Upon the invitation of several
citizens, and through the COR
respondence of Mr.. G.. H. Peake,
Senator Tillman has consented
to address the people of Union
and county on Friday, August
3rd. The arrangements for the
| meeting }tgrs not yet been per-
fected. but it is safe to say the
speaking will be some time
in the morning, and that the
place will be on the graded school
grounds, where meetings of this
kind are generally held.
1t is supposed that Senator
Tillman will make about the
same speech here that he has
been making on his tour through
the State, viz. defense of the
dispensary. The people should
hear him in order that they may
more intelligently vote in the
coming election.

New York, July 22.-Russell
Sage died suddenly today at his
country home, Cedar Croft" at
Lawrence, l.. l. The immediate
cause of death was heart failure
resulting from a complication of
diseases incident to old age. The
veteran financier would have
celebrated his 9th birthday on
August 4. Mr.. Sage had been
in exceptional good health since
his arrival at his summer home
about six months ago. At noon

Child Poisoned.

Quite an exciting time was
had Friday afternoon at the
home of Rev. D. M. Mcleod,
when Emma, the little three
year-old daughter of the home,
took a mouthful of indelible> ink.
In journeSs 0f adventure and
discoverysahaut the house the
little lady found this bottle of
ink, which had been laid away. .
Being of an enquiring and ad-
venturesome turn of mind,
Miss Emma boldly declared she
was going to drink this" but
the nurse not crediting her
declaration gave no heed until
she saw the child splitting out
the fluid.
Little Emma did not swallow
any of the ink, but spit out all
that did not adhere to the mouth
lining. Her condition was criti-
cal for a time, the poison nitrate
of silver being deadly in it's
effects. 1t is certain that if the
child had swallowed any at all,
she could not have recovered,
for one-twelfth grain of this
nitrate will kill a grown person.
A doctor was Immediately
summoned and the antidotes for
poison administered. Little
Emma is alright now, and it is
safe to aver that she will hardly
drink anything else that smells
or looks like indelible ink.
