Oeriferous Fertile CrOrs and
Foolish Advice.

The air Is scented by the moving fertilizers
which are going TO every nook and corner
of the county Wiseacres. as usual al this
season OF the year., are vociforating tor
reduced area of cotton, and the bullheaded
farmer, as usual, ia paying no sort Of atten
ton to those who assume to know more
about their BUSH ess than do those who
expend time, money and thought on the SUBJ
cot.
Unless we diversity our crops, talk OF VOL
unfairly reducing the acreage OF cotton Is
idle. The labor is not here to increase the
acreage impecunious or short handed people
growing corn Is not TO be thooght OF. We
can treat cotton in any old way. and we can
ga her the staple In the fall. when we can
store 1t under an oak tree. But capital and
intelligence is required 10 grow corn profta-
bly,. 1t won't walt for either rain or the pillow.
At the proper time II will either make or
ruin. Corn. like time and tide, waits for no
man.. Those who lack either Intelligence,
energy or capital will make u failure al grow
ing corn.
We are giving nobody advce, and II we did
give advice, nobody should take 1t. But we
are commenting on facts, as We see them
You can do your own thinking.

Scume 10 Live.

or late Churches in Abbeville have had
varied experiences In entertaining itinerants
Missionaries, negroes, and Y. M. c. A. repre-
sentatives have been here galore, and, we
believe, all have been collecting or looking
for money. One man recently delivered q
lecture. speech, or sermon to men only, and
some OF our men were willing to be seen 20.
ing 10 hear 1t on Sunday evening. With re-
ligious itinerapts, and life insurance agents
abroad and picking our bones at the same
time is 1t not a scufle for the ordinary
c%hurchman to live In this world? One set OF
men wish us to lay up all our treasures IN
heaven, and the other set would have us put
our money where the great men Of earth may
luxuriate on 1t. So 10 speak their lines are
not entirely different, with results very much
the So to Us, that Is 10 say, a foo and bis
money 10 soon parted.

The Signs Of The Times.

If we are not badly deceived in the
signs of the times, farmers that do not
heed the warnings of the Farmers Un-
ion and plant more food crops now,
they vii! be running around next Fall
wanting everypody's advice about how
TO buy $4,000 q ton peavine hay and
81. 90 q bushsl corn with 6 cents cotton:
Our big supply men, and mule men,
too, had better butt in this thing at
once along with the Farmers Union
in their efforts to induce farmers to
plant more food crops and less cotton,
or the game next Winter will be nip
and tuck between these men and the
buzzaIds as to who will get the most
revenue out of this mule mortgage bus
mess.
A good deal is being said recently
about live stock associations In each
of the counties of the State, which Will
be a good thing if our farmers Will take
to them, and instead of Dragging a.
bout selling peavine hay and other
food crops, they will raise and feed
more stock and take care of the ma
nure, they need not to be bowling any
longer abont the guano trust!
Our farmers Unions should take 10
this live stock idea like young ducks
take to water: it 70 the natural thing 10
do and right along the straight road
to the permanent building up of the
up to date progressive idea of the in
dependant farmer of the South.
All our farmers Union should be
each iu itself a good live stock assosia-
ton, and talk more about raising more
and better stock and talk less about
raising more cotton.

We Ought to be Thankful.

The warfare which has been waged on the
tax payers OF the State will no doubt bear
fruit. The Legislature having failed to pursue
the tax payer, the same object may be &C.
complished through the County officers 10
whom the tax-paye rs will ever feel grateful
Those tax dodgers who waste their
money, or have nothing pom which to pay
taxes, will likely take no special interest In
this fight against people who have saved
money and bought a little property. People
without property can look on with indifer.
ence. II the taxpayers taxes are raised this
year, they can have little trouble In getting
near the cause. People who pay tax on a dog
two COWS and $50 worth of household goods
can stand of and "emile at Satan's rage"
The Increased taxation Is NO doubt just.
The citizen had no business to save bis
money. He ought to have "epjoyed II" as
fast as he made 1t, and now he could escape
fmputations or insinuations about tax dodg.
ing. BY getting rid OF his money. and having
nothing upon which to pay taxes, he can
boast OF being the real thing.

Good Result or Investigation.

At the time when the liquor Investigating
committee began Its work a popular wave
was sweeping the State against the dispen
sary. Since the work OF that committee. has
been made public we hear no more about
counties voting ont the dispensary. The
Committee for that reason, II for no other. de-
serve the thanks Of the temperance men OIL
the State. II shows that the people are solid
against corruption In official position, while
it proves that they stand for the best liquor
law that we ever had. The trouble has been
that the friends of the license system have
misunderstood the people. They are intoler
ant OF wrong doing. but are solid supporters
Of the dispensary law, when honestly enforc
ed. They are for honesty and are against dis
honesty. This is evidenced by the lack OF
further effort 10 abolish the dispensary, after
the corrupt machine had been Strengthened

To Lead the Democracy.

The News and Courier takes great pleasure
In Judge Alton B. Parker's statement
that Southern "Senstors, Representatives
and Governors bad so far .eluded the grasp
OF constables, that none OF them bad as tyet
been landed In jail, or words 10 that effect
The News and Courier, we believe, thinks
such shrewdness on the part Of the South en-.
It'll es us to lead the Democracy in the next
Presidential defeat which awaits The De-
mocracy.
The Press and Banner believes thai the
southern Democracy ought to learn to be-
have itself, so Ina 1t can be praised for some
thing else than Its ability TO keep out Of jail
and out of the penitentiary. Justice may
overtake some OF us yet.

We will Teach.

When we establish our Theological Semi
nary. we expect to teach several things that
are now neglected, namely:
Firs,-How to pronounce the name OF the
Creator and Ruler Of the Universe.
Secopd-How not to q that Name on our
lips except in reverential awe.
Third-How to pronounce such words as
seven, heaven, etc.
Foufth-That the Sabbath is the institu-
ton that Sunday Is the calendar day OF the
week. We must observe the Sabbath day 10
keep 1t holy ; that Christians violate or keep
holy the Sabbath on Sunday. Saturday is the
Sabbath of the Jews. The Sabbath day is an
indefinite expression when reference 10 bad
to the calendar day ofthe week. Six days IN
the week may be observed as the Saooath.
The Jews observe Saturday as their Sabbath
and we believe that other days OF the week
are 30 observed by different people.
At the proper time we may deliver a special
lecture from our Seminary to our good and
beloved Brothers Galloway and Kennedy on
the subject of Sabbath, and the difference be-
tween the calendar day OF the week and Thai
institution. Mr.. Kennedy IL a younger msn
and II may be possible to enable him to see
the point which we will endeavor TO make
plain. But. as for Mr.. Galloway, we are not
quite hopeful as to results. He Is older and
the avenues to his gray matter may be
harder to reach, and when reached they may
be 30 nearly closed that information on the
subject cannot be filtered into his brain cells
But whether the vision OF these beloved
brethren is ever clear enough to see the differ.
ence, IT is perfectly certain that their good
work and their good words will not be seri
cusly Injured. Let them keep on saying
Sabbath. We all know that they mean Sun
day. They don't mean any harm by saying
Sabbath. They we're brought up that way
and we ought not to judge them harshly be-
cause Of their early training.

concerns which are the largest

Sheep Do Need Attention.

There are not many farmers or
stockmen who conduct their business
for Just the fun of it. Their bread
and butter depends upon making a
profit out of the business. Sheep will
pay, and pay handsomely, but they
must be handled right The first mis-
take that many make is to assume
that sheep do not require much at
tention. They do need attention. The
successful sheep breeder will see that
his animals have plenty of nutritious
food during the winter, for he knows
that that is the only way to get a
good crop of wool and lambs. 1t is
nonsense to think that a strawstack
is all the protection they need, and
they can pick from it all the food
they need. 1t is also a mistake to
treat sheep as scavengers, and compel
them to pick up their living around
the fence corners or out on the high
ways. Sheep respond to good feed and
good care. The ewes should have
generous feed and dry shelter. There
is nothing better for winter feed than
nice clover hay. Stick to your sheep,
give them rational care any they will
make good every year.

Dipping the Sheep Necessary.

About the first thing to do upon re-
ceiving bunch of range sheep at the
feed lots is to dip them. 1t costs a
little money, but in the end it may
save hundreds of dollars. The aver
age feeder cannot tell upon examina-
ton of the sheep whether they are
infected with scab unless the disease
is quite pronounced, so even if they
are said to have been dipped earlier
in the season the safest plan is to
dip them again and in fact our regula-
tons require two clippings ten days
apart to catch the psoroptes coming
and going. Upon arrival the sheep
should be given plenty of water and
salt, but should not at once be turned
out on alfalfa or beet field for this
may cause scours. They should be
partly filled on rather dry grass or
hay. When they are satisfied then
they may be turned on green forage.
With such treatment they may sub
sequently be turned on to peavines,
rape or alfalfa pasture from time to
time without injury. When once used
to these crops little trouble will be
experienced.
