In Mem0rlam.

In loving Remembrance of Miss
Bernice Haden who departed this life
on October 31st, at the home of her
father and mother Mrs. l.. G. Ha-
den. The words "Bernice is dead" cast
a gloom over the entire communi-
ty for she was sweet girl and one
who was loved by all. Only few
days before she died she told her
nurse Miss Mollie Martin that she was
a christian and was heard songing som
good hymn. All: little did We think
then the next time we would hear Der.
nice singing she would be singing with
the Angels. To her dear father and
mother who watched so patiently over
her, weep not for Bernice is safe in
the arms of Jesus where there is no
sickness pain OF death and where we
can all meet her some day If we will
only put our trust in Jesus. Now lei
us submit ourselves to Gods will

FARr1ER AND PLANTER
SELLING COTTON AHEAD.
The Farmer Gets the Worst End Of
the Bargain.

For several years some farmers
have been selling their cotton in win
ter or spring for fall delivery. Many
who would not gamble in cotton fu-
lures would sell their cotton ahead
and thus help the gamblers. In some
way their figure every year that an
enormous crop is going to be made
and that the price Of cotton will go
down to five or six cents, and that by
selling at about ten cents, they will
get ahead of their neighbors. Ten
cents Is the price usually paid Tor
cotton sold this way. It is true that
some of Ghis cotton has been deliver
cents, and then the farmer feels good
about his trade, but for the past few
years the average price has been above
ten cents, SO that selling ahead is a
losing business. If cotton did not
range most of the time above ten
cents the mill men and merchants
would not engage cotton ahead at
that price The Spectator, the cot
ton mill man and the merchant plan
the game from carefully prepared
statistics and the farmer bets on their
game. A safe rule to follow all through
life is never to bet on anybody else's
game. Another good rule to make is
not to sell anything which you do not
possess and do not know that you ever
will have as yours. The farmer who
sells cotton in winter or spring to be
grown that year does not know, and
cannot know, just what he is doing.
More cotton was engaged from this
crop than from any crop in the past. In
our opinion. this was one of the rea-
sons why it went so low in Se.Iem-
Der. Hundreds Of thousands Of bales
were delivered on contracts by men
able to hold their cotton anu who
would have held it but for the fact
they had it sold and wanted to fill
contracts. This cotton coming on the
market at that time lowered the
price. 1t was figured that enough
cotton had to be delivered under con-
tracts to run the mills, and therefore
1t was not important 20 put lie price
I'D. We think that but Cor The s1oilns
in the far south and the wet weather
here which greatly decreased the 1;1m-
Der of bales of & 1od cotton, the price
would have remained low, largely On
account of the contracted cotton.

To Prepare Poultry For Shipment.

There is room in every section for
some one to make something by learn
ing how to prepare and ship poultry.
Getting your stun to market in the
best shape is an art and an art that
pays well. To ship poultry you want
to kill and scald simply enough to
remove the feathers. You do not re-
move the heat, feet or entrails. After
you have removed the feathers you
lay out, until the animal heat is all
gone, then you pack nicely in barrel.
In the winter you do not need any ice,
but in summer ice would be neces-
sary. If you wish to get all out of your
poultry that there is in them, get in
connection with some good dealer in
your nearest city and get him to keep
you posted. When the demand is good
you can send them in thus packed at
cheaper express and get more for
them, as you can sell by the pound.
We must learn to put up all our pro
duce in the most sa1eable form. AS
sorting and packing are where the
money is made these days. When you
get trade built up, you can then buy
and handle for your neighbors. This
is the way to realize the most for your
chickens and turkeys.

cowpsas Are Great STUFF.

It is said that it is impossible to get
from land something for nothing, but
one crop proves that this is not strict
~ true. Cowpeas will more than
maintain the fertility Of the soil. Grow
cowpeas on piece of land and let land
by the side of it lie idle; and next
year the crop will be better where the
cowpeas grew than on the ground that
went uncropped. Cowpeas will grow
on land too poor to grow clover or
any other crop that know of. They
will stand more drouth than Kaffir
corn. No hay is better winter feed
for milk COWS, calves and horses than
cowpeas, since they are both grain
and hay; and never did our chickens
lay more eggs that when we put a
stack of coWpeas where. they could
run to it. When stacking it, the stacks
should be covered with hay of some
kind, cane lay being the best, for cow
pea hay, like clover, will not turn
water.

Mississippi labor Troubles.

The labor situation in the Missis.
sippi valley 1s one of the serious prob.
lens confronting not only planting,
but manufacturing interests, and the
courts are being called upon to close
up all dives In the cities and drive
all loiterers thereform, in order that
there may be enough help to gather
the cotton crop, and carry on man
ufacturing industries, says a Memphis
Tenn, dispatch to the New York
Commercial This step has been taken
in Memphis, and reports from Jackson,
Miss, are TO the effect that the pro-
prietors Of manufacturing establish
ments have appealed to the courts to
shut up ali the low dives and stop the
illicit sales of whisky, declaring that
If this is not done, the manufacturing
plants will have to be closed down.
At Vicksburg, Miss, efforts have beer
made to drive all unemployed negroes
out of the city, and recently one Of
the judges was asked to adjourn court
and lot the negroes who were on trial
go to the cotton fields and help gather
the crops, a request with which he
readily complied.

times in hurry, and before the ice
bank has time to get out of the way
somebody down below gets a bath
and some expensive decorations are
spoiled. It is not every house plan
that will permit placing the chimney
in the peak Of the roof, but that style
Of plan is to be preferred when all
other things are right for it.
This is not a large house, it is
&c feet wide by SO feet long, exclusive
Of porches, and it Is supposed to stand
out alone, where 1t gets light and air

There is an opportunity to fit up
very coy sitting room, which may be
used separately or In connection with
the parlor, as desired. A window seat
to fit in the bay reaching clear across
the three windows looks well and If
properly made is very comfortable.
Window seats are used in the winter
more than in summer, SO they should
be built accordingly. There is moro
or less draft, or at least cold air, COM
ing in around a window in the win
ter. For this reason the window seat
should be protected by the back,
which may extend up three or four
inches above the window sill without
being conspicuous from the outside.
1t depends, Of course, good deal on

A Money Makinn Farmer.

Mr.. G. w. Baker. who owns four
acres Of land in the suburb north
Of Gaffney, says the Cherokee, IS. c.
News, last year rented two acres from
a neighbor and went to work, and
from these six acres, after supplying
his rather large family bountifully
from his farm, he sold from one and
two-thirds Of an acre, $40 bushels Of
sweet potatoes for $275. From two
acres Of land in cotton he sold 500
worth, and from his snap-bean patch
he sold $50 worth Of beans, making a
total of $415 in cash received for the
surplus products made on this small
farm. Besides the above, Mr.. Baker
made SO bushels Of corn and killed
500 pounds of pork, which he grew
at home and fattened with the Pro
ducts of his farm. During last year
Mr.. Baker worked much away from
home. Among other things, he earned
enough by work to pay for a one-horse
wagon and mule, with which he made
his crop. We had often heard about
Mr.. Bakers crop, and a few days ago
asked him about it. The above facts
were obtained from him, and no one
who knows Kim will doubt any state
ment he makes about bis work or any
thing else.

often gives the finished work much
better appearance.
The front Of the window seat is GOV.
cred with material the same as the
cushions and back, and it may be put
on smooth or plated. A smooth finish
is best, because it does not collect
dust; often, however, the plated
| front looks better.
! Sometimes drawers for magazines
and books are built in the seat and
these must be considered in the GOV.
ering. Sometimes the seat is made
| to lift up. There are as many styles
| in window seats as in any other
article of furniture, but they are diff.
ferent from the fact that each one is
made to fit a certain niche, where it
is expected to remain.
| A window seat is never complete
without plenty of pillows. The square
down pillows with fancy covers that
are seen in every home are not only
comfortable but they are highly deco.
rative Some Of these pillows are
made too nice to use, which is a
great mistake. It is much better to
have washable covers that may be
easily removed. OF course every
woman likes to have something OF
this kind as neat and elaborate as
possible, but as a general thing pill
lows should be made to use as well
as to look at.
| "A seat big enough to fit this window
should have seven or eight pillows
piled up at the ends and scattered
along the side on top of the tufted
back. Some seats are made with a
wide rail on top Of the back especial
ly made to hold pillows. In such
cases the tufting should be made in
different parts, with division at each
corner and a cord run along to mark
the upper borders.

spreader a Great Help.

A manure spreader may be used on
the farm every week of the year. It
Is the most valuable machine that
any farmer can buy. The spreader
does the work better than 1t Ia posi-.
Bile to do it by hand. 1t makes An
even job of the spreading, does the
work quicker than by hand and saves
the labor OF from one to two men. The
spreader put the manure on the
ground in any desired amount without
stopping the team to make changes,
or If you wish to skip small strip
Of ground that does not require fer
tilizing, the spreading can be shut OH,
and started again at place desired
without stopping the team.
