rich? If you do then you know also how God has called you.
 After all this seems to me to be the great trouble between the rich and the poor, there are so many men who have abundance who do not know to what uses to put it. If a man uses he has merely to gain more; if the sole thought of his life be to accumulate so that he shall have more than some other man. then he has failed to learn the great lesson St. Paul says that he has learned.
 And so We may apply this to every posi- tion and to every condition. I know good men who do not seem to know how to be good They may their very good ness an uncomfortable. disagreeable thing so thAt they repel and do~ not attract men to them. How different It all was with the goodness of the Christ. The common people heard Him gladly. He knew how to abound toward the poor woman at the well, and He knew how to abound toward Nicodemus, a teacher of the law.
 If we then would learn the great secret of contentment, which means nothing more nor less than learning how to live the life that is ours, the life in which we have much or little we must take our life to the Master. and ask that He teach us what to do with it. Oh, my friends what a blessing it will be to this city if this church as a body of Chris tian men and women would learn fully of art of uplifting, of sympathy, of material wealth we havel We have also the long ing for contentment, and this latter long ing can only be satisfied by learning hcm the Master how to abound.

WHISTLES OF BIRMINGHAM
 BLOW IN THE NEW YEAR

This whistling custom has been in evil dence for many years, but unless one is listening for it. it is likely to startle one until the significance of the noise flashes home It is probable that many man sat up in bed at the first shrin saluta- ton at midnight and wondered if it could be his store or fatcory that was on fire. A minute later he recolleeted what 1t meant, called himself names for being fool and rolled over and went to sleep again.
 But it was happy new year and good wishes were In the air

The Supreme Court yesterday de-
cided against the. Southern Railway
in the appeal of Mrs. Dorothy
Brickman, widow of the engineer
who was killed in the wreck at Fish
ing Greek nearly three years ago.
Mrs. Brickman brought suit for dam
ages and received a verdict for $780,
600. A number of other cases re-
splting from this wreck were COM
promised.
Mrs. Brickman's judgment was
regarded by the Circuit Court,
Judge Watts presiding, ito be ex-
cessive and he reduced this to s4O,-
600. The railroad company ap.
pealed and the plaintiff gets iudg-
ment by the order of the Supreme
Coourt.
The York county jury appears to
have considered the Fishing Greek
disaster an occurrence due to negli-
gence, for the verdict is one of the
largest recorded in the history os
this State. The trestle fell down
with passenger train between Rock
Hill and Yorkville, and the entire
train was knocked into kiudling
wood, several people being killed and
others injured permanently.-The

American Printer.
How dear to my heart is the steady sub
scriber,
i Who pays in advance, without skipping
year;
Who lays down his dollar, and offers it
gladly,
And casts round the office halo of
cheer.
Who never says: "Stop it, cannot afford
itw
Or, Getting more papers each day
than read";
But always says, "Send it, the whole
outfit likes it
In fact, we regard it business need"
How welcome is he when he steps in the
sanctum,
How he makes "our heart" throb, how
he makes "our eye" dance
We outwardly thank him--we inwardly
bless him
The steady subscriber who pays in ad-
vance!

Cheap Hoas.
Conducted by the

Cheap Hogs
Ii you were to make cheap coat
you should have cheap material to be-
gin With. But when it comes to
hogs, cheap, ill-bred animal is not
the kind to start with! You should
have a well-bred animal, cheap food
and a good, smart chance of good
hog sense to start with in order to
grow cheap pork! We can show a
fine, thrifty, growing lot of hogs that
have eaten nothing but food of one
pound cotton seed to four pounds
ruta baga turnips boiled together,
from first of November until April.
In April the olovers, alfalfa, spring
turnips, barley, rye, sorghum, with
good bermuda and other good pas
lures, with little bran slops and
surplus garden truck, will keep
shoats, sows and pigs growing until
August, when early cowpeas and
soga beans will come in. You
should fence in these beans with
cheap hog wire fence, moving it
about to suit, as you cannot afford
to pick peas for hogs! We are not
stuck on the plan of turning hogs on
ploughed land in spring or summer
to gather potatoes, pindars, &C., as
their roofing up the soil in wet
weather does damage-besides you
want rings in their noses while on
pasture aud the pea fields. We have
planned to plant IL acres of sofa
beans and will Craze these with hogs,
as well as IL acres of cowpeas, and
finishing off on little corr. Some
farmers do not seem to know that
the days of "root'hog or die" has
gone, and we cannot expect hog to
root his living out of the ground un-
less there is something in the ground
to root for A profitable hog must
be kept growing from start to finish.
Not being sure about our proper
tions of cotton seed and ruta bagas
being a we'll balanced ration for
sows, pigs and shoats, we called on
Professor Newman, of Clemson, who
has endorsed our ration as being
about right in his letter following
this.
Clemson College, February 24.-
j. G. Strioling, Pendleton: Dear Sir
referring to your inquiry concern
ing the feeding of cotton seed and
ruta baga turnips to hogs, will say
that assisted by Mr.. Burgess, have
looked up the nutritive ratio of these
two feeds and find that using them
in the proportion that you have
practiced, that is, II bushels of cot
ton seed in sixty-gallon boiler, the
boiler filed with turnips and then
the whole mass boiled, makes an ex-
cellent feed for either brood sows or
young pigs. | do not know whether
you compounded this ration FOR the
especial purpose for which it is used
or not, but you have hit upon the
exact nutritive ratio for brood sows
and pigs, which is /, and you could
not well improve upon it. For
brood sows without pigs, the cotton
seed meal should be decreased and
the turnips increased, since it is not
necessary under such conditions to
use feed so rich in protein.
Trusting that this may answer it's
purpose, l am
Very truly yours,
