"The Sign of the Gross.

Wilson Barrett's historical and re-
ligious drama, "The Sign Of the
Cross,' has long been accepted as one
Of the greatest plays in the history
Of the stage. It's historical interest
turns to the cruelty and excesses in
Rome during the dark reign Of the
Emperor Nero. The religious atmos-
phere, which so beautifully pervaded
this most impressive of plays, is
drawn from the band of faithful
Christians who endure the most cruel
prosecutions and even martyrdom at
the hands of the followers Of Nero
rather than adjure their faith. The
conversion to Christianity Of the Ro-
man Prefect, Marcus Superbus,
through his love for the beautiful
Christian maiden Mereia, and the
twain going to the arena to
be torn by lions rather than
obtain freedom at the price
of their faith is the grandest climax
of this drama of so many soul STIR
ring incidents. "The Sign of the
Cross' is notably elaborate and
magnificent in its reproduction Of the
luxury and rich settings of the Ro-
man court. Some Of the most strik-
ing pictures ever presented in spec
tacular drama are shown in this play.
"The Sign of the Cross' with an
admirable cast will be given at the
opera house on the 18th of March.

UNION BUREAU
Raising Cotton the Intensive Plan.

Tt is estimated that New York Cot
ton exchanges have been selling more
cotton to the square inch off Of their
Wall street cotton plantations than
southern cotton growers have sold
from an average square rod Of their
cotton farms.
When you have determined to go
into the long staple cotton growing
business, do it right or you will sure
ly get left. Enough men in each vic
nifty should grow long cotton suffi-
cient to justify putting in roller gin
or a needle gin, then you can make
all things work right through your
organizations in ginning and selling,
too.

South Carolina, grew 252 bushels Of
corn on one acre and Mr.. Tindal of
Calarendon county of this state grew
nearly 200 bushels on one acre, both
winning prizes, beating the world on
corn at different times, and yet it is
said that South Carolina cotton farm
ers buy proportionately as much or
more corn per horse than any other
cotton state. Again we can name
some Farmers union men in Ander-
son, Pickens, Oconee and several
other counties in South Carolina that
average nearly one bale of cotton per
acre on their crops and then some of
them sell from 300 to nearly 1000
bales of hay, one Farmers union man
near Pendleton now has over 1000
bushels of corn in his cribs and JOG
bales of cotton Oh. hand. And again
our cooperative experiments last
year season averaged up OIL five
acres 70 bushels without using the
hand hoe at any time, no thinning
done, corn left in rows just as plant
er put it in. Less than 81 worth of
fertilizers was used per acre. But the
land was cow pea stubble and plowed
deep before planting and weeder and
cultivators were used in rapid suces-
sion.
Again in this connection we men-
ton the fact that South Carolina
needed both McIver Williamson and
Robert Aldrich, and these two corn
champions in turn have raised more
discussions of their respective meth
DDS Of the far-famed Williamson
Stunting" method and the "Aldrich
system" Of growing two rows of corn
alternating with two rows of cotton,
than any other corn growers on the
continent.
Now we South Carolinians are
very inconsistent, unbelieveing thick
skull set of cottontotts, or we do not
believe that we can see all around us.
The world is now compelled to rec
ognize South Carolina farmers as the
champion corn raisers Of the world,
or we South Carolina farmers are the
biggest liars in the world. We don't
believe that our lien law farmtrs will
ever grow their own food crops as
long as they can go to the stores and
buy it. This same class of farmers
would also buy their cotton ON the
lien law plan instead Of making it if
there was as slick a plan to do it on.

ONE BILLION DOLLARS
SPENT BY CONGRESS.
Largest Sum Ever Appropriated at
One Session-Review of Important
Measures of Present Session.

Washington, March 3.--More
money has been appropriated during
the short session Of the Fifty-ninth
congress, which passes into history vt
noon tomorrow than during any pre-
vious session. The amount, as near
as can be estimated, approximates
81 900, 100000.
Two big battleships were authoriz-
ed for the navy, and the artillery
corps of the army was reorganized
and enlarged A general service pro-
vision was granted to veterans of the
Mexican and Civil wars and like pro-
vision was made for army nurses. For
river and harbor improvements, the
appropriation aggregates $83, 100000.
Increased salaries were given to
cabinet officers, the vice president and
senators, the speaker of the house Of
representatives and it's members, to
ambassadors, ministers and consuls;
to postofficc clerks and letter carriers.
The public made more inquiries for
information for the document rooms
of congress regarding the ship sub
sidy bill, the currency measure and
the bill regulating the hours Of rail
way employees than any other pend
ing legislation. Ship subsidy died
hard in the last hours. The other
two measures became law as the ses-
sion closed.
The immigration BILL one Of the
measures brought over from the long
session, was completed under the spur
of the president, that he might meet
the California-'Japane$e situation by
giving the administration control Of
coolie importations through pass
ports. The bill further restricts the
admission of aliens to this country.
A bill was passed for the cstab-
lishment of an agricultural bank in
the Philippine islands.
The free alcohol law Of last session
was modified that farmers may distill
the waste products of the farm 90 be
denaturcd and used in the arts and
sciences.
The right Of appeal in criminal
eases was granted The government, n
measure intended to strengthen the
antitrust legislation by affording a
means whereby the supreme court
may pass upon the constitutionality
and construction Of such laws.
An investigation was authorized re-
"nrding the condition Of women and
children workers.
The interstate commerce commits
sion was authorized TO ascertain if the
express companies of the country are
cvading the railroad rate law Of last
session by buying, selling and hand
ling on consignment fruit vegetables
and oysters.
Rect Smoot was retained by the
senate as a senator from Utah, end
ing a four years. controversy.
The senate ratified treaties with
Santo Domingo and Algeria.
The president was authorized to use
his Offices to prevent atrocities in the
Congo.
The senate also launched an cx-
haustivc investigation Of the Browns
vile affair.

What power for good of the whole
of the south these supply merchants
could yield if they would only compel
their improvident all~cotton farmers
to grow their own food crops. This
would enforce diversified farming
and at the same time reduce the ac-
reage in cotton which would in turn
improve the land, increase the yield
per acre and reduce the risk and loss
to the supply merchant to minimum,
by causing better prices for their Gus
toners products.
Our better class of more business
like farmers could afford to stand
their cotton off the market and watch
this dog eat dog riot that comes off
at the winding up Of every crop if it
was not for the fact that cotton bears
take advantage of this pull Dick, pull
devil, melee between the mortgaged
swoop down upon the whole cotton
crop with their own set prices which
gives spinners enough cotton to go
up while cotton bears either force
the better class of farmers to either
sell at loss or store their cotton and
incur the expense of storage and in
Surance.
Now these statements of facts in
regard to the cotton growing business
in the south should make it plain to
every thinking business cotton grow
er and all supply merchants and bank
ers organizations, Farmers Union
and Cotton Association men in the
whole south that we must have a
better understanding with each other
and come together before we can
mate the whole situation of both grow
ing and marketing Of our money
crop-cotton. Growing the crop we'll
and selling it badly will hurt every
one in the south excepting those in
speculating business and those that
are in league with them. No matter
how well we are organized at the SELL
ing end of our cotton business we can
no more force an over production Of
cotton down the consumers throat
without causing revolt than you
could force whole pot of chicken pie
down man. throat that was not
already very hungry without protest.

Good authorities state that South

Good authorities state that South
Carolina used last year over five mil
lion dollars worth of fertilizers and
that at least two million dollars of
that amount was lost-washed out
by applying the more soluble nitrate
goods before their crops had roots in
the soil to take it up.
This washing out of this costly am
moniated goods by heavy rains before
plant roots are i'll the soil to take up
this costly plant food is deserving Of
more serious thought than some peo-
pie give it. Try side application and
tell us about it.
Have you ever gone over a field
where there were many terrace banks,
and made a thorough calculation
about how much of the best land was
lost thereby growing nothing but
weedsq If not do it, then you may be
in the proper state of mind to make
a change by sowing down your lands
every other year; plow deeper and
plow down every terrace bank on your
farm just as soon as you can get
enough root Oh other vegetable matter
in the soil to hold it together. We
have put the thing to the test and the
terrace banks are going down as fast
as we can get to them. Our terrace
banks and niggers are growing beau
tifully less and less profitable every
year.
