Crossed Sea to We'd and is
Repu1sed.

Because she did not come up to
specific atoms Marie Berkefeld, of
Trieste, was left waiting on the ship
at New York recently instead of be-
coming the bride of Philip Ritzfelder,
whom she had crossed the ocean to
we'd. Philip, after sizing up the
maiden and comparing the living with
a photograph which had been furnish
ed him several months ago, declared
he had been imposed upon, and left
the girl abruptly. She will probably
return to Trieste.
Philip was among the first to dash
onto the Pretoria when the steamer
locked. He confded his secret to
officers, and was sent to the second
cabin, where Marie was waiting.
Something told the woman this was
the man, and shes hurried toward
Philip with a happy blush nher face.
he had just time to dodge to avoid a
hearty embrace.
Then he pulled out a photograph
which had been sent az the picture of
the wife he had arranged through a
matrimonial agency to wed.
"There must be some mistake" he
declared. "This is not a photograph
Of you" y
"Oh, Philip" walled the would-be
bride, ''you would not be 80 cruel. I
I'm the girl you promised to marry"
Nothing doing" answered the I'M
loverlike man as he lodged another
embrace. "You have imposed on me.
You are not the girl. I am going
away from here"
And he did, leaving Marie weeping
on the ship.

Some Rural Route Changes.

Congressman Lever has received
the following letter from the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General relative
to some changes in the rural delivery
service in this county:
Honorable A. F. Lever,
Peak, South Carolina.
Sir:
The receipts acknowledged of your
letter of the 18th ultimo, enclosing a
communication from Mr.. j. w. Crout
of Gilbert, South Carolina, express
ing his views in regard to the rural
delivery service from that Office and
from Delmar, South Carolina.
In reply you are advised that route
No. 1 from Delmar was amended on
June /, 1907, so as to supply certain
families now served by star route No.
20313, Gilbert to Delmar; and the dis
continuance of the star route men
toned and the postofice at Dupler
was recommended.
The star route}is duplicated to an
excessive degree'b rural service from
Gilbert which, however, cannot be
re-arranged to avoid roads travelled
by the star carrier. The maintenance
of both the star and rural routes is
contrary to the policy of the Depart
ment and the discontinuance of the
former service seems essential in the
interests of rural delivery, which, it is
hoped, will receive such an increased
patronage after the withdrawal of the
star route as to justify the continu-
ance of daily service.
Respectfully,
C. A. CONRARD,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General.

Hundreds of imitation brands are

filled with cheap, aimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco

Expert tests prove that this fue

Piedmont region, requires and takes
less s~weetening than any other kind.

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and hue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In fue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy fue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
Of high grade, aue cured tobaccos.

ports a Traveller of Enslishmen.

Travellers returning from England
tell Of two habits Of the people of that
country which impressed them. One
Is the average Englishman's aversion
to shutting the door behind him.

lish houses" remarked one who re-
turned recently from abroad, for
was not in one of them. but | stayed
In a hotel in London where there were
a good many English people, and a
dozen times daily l had to get up and
shut a door to keep the draught away.
1T didn't make any difference
whether it was a servant or q guest
who went through, the door was left
open. This vas in the spring of the
year, too, when the weather was chill
ly. ! noticed the same thing in rail-
way coaches and hotels of smaller
towns"
The other English peculiarly Is a
preference for riding backward on
trains. The Englishman will make for
the seat with its back to the engine
every time, plant himself down In 1t
with every evidence of comfort and
look wonderingly at anybody who
picks out q seat facing the direction
the train Is going. Not once did one
American travelling In England see a
native choose q seat facing the front
Of the train unless there we're no
other seats.

For Cotton Select Prolific Stalks.

In selecting cotton seed We should,
in North Carolina, have especial re,
gard to earliness. An extra large boil
Is usually an indication Of a late ma
turing cotton, and is apt to be long
jointed. We need In this climate a
bushy, short-jointed cotton Of a pro
life character, and we should have
marked the plants that come nearest
to our ideal cotton plant before any
picking has been done, always select
ing from plants of the best habit and
those that open earliest, selecting only
the first picking for seed. The later
pickings may make just as good and
prolific plants. but the chances are
that in the matter Of earliness the
seed from the first picking will be
best.
Do not take this cotton to the gin,
but have a little hand gin at home to
prevent getting the seed mixed with
every one else's cotton. Then next
spring plant o patch especially for
seed and continue the selection. Mako
a careful selection the first time ever
IL you only. get seed enough to plant
the seed patch. Every season you will
get closer to the ideal cotton plant,
and every season your n~eighbors will
be taking more and more interest in
your cotton. Cotton Is a plant that
responds to careful seed selection very
quickly. and on the other hand runs
back very quickly when carelessly Sc
lected. The King Cotton for a year
or so was a very uniform cotton, but
Of late It is hard to find a field of
King Cotton that Is at all of the orig
inal strain.
The time to begin the improvement
of ones corn or cotton is in the
spring. and then study the crop all
through the season, detassel all in
ferior and barren stalks OF corn, and
thin out the long legged cotton be-
fore It has a chance to distribute its

Hints About Making Good Hay.

Haymaking claims the attention OF
farmers just now and should be
pushed with all possible vigor. The
high prices that have prevailed should
stimulate hay making.
Grab grass is allowed to go to
waste that could be made into a fine
quality of hay II cut at the right time
and properly cured. Comparatively
few Of II farmers cut crab grass as
early as 1t should be cut to make the
best quality Of hay. 1t should not be
allowed to stand until the seed are
ripe, nor should 1t be allowed to lie
In the sun after 1t Ia cut until 1t Is
sun-killed before cooking or stacking.
Cut when the seed are In the milk or
dough state, permitted to take the
sun q day, then cooked and cured in
the cock, 1t makes a hay about equal
to timothy hay.
