1t is net false to say that the prize

none the less dangerous.

The so-called mastery defense of

this morning, by A. l.. Castle, is not
what it is headed
Mr.. Castles slam at writer's who cri-
ticize the alleged game is that fire.
quently they have never played the
game know nothing of it, and per-
haps, have never even seen game.
Without discussing whether the pre-
sent writer knows what he's writing
about,or not as far as the game" is
concerned it is pertinent and absolute
" unanswerable to remark that one
has but to observe results, to count
the deaths, the ruinations for life, the
wrecked manhood that comes out Of
the savage contest.
There has perhaps never been a foot
ball game, intercollegiate or rugby, in
which someone was not hurt, whether
it was a slight confusion, a mere
wrench, a seemingly unimportant
sprain, a bruise or a scrape of the
shins, or whether it was a smashed
skull, a broken limb or two, a gouged
eye a broken back or disembowel-
ment.
What the rules of the game have to
do with hospital and morgue and
graveyard results, to say nothing OF
/ results in after life whereby many a
man comes to an untimely end direct
/ ly or indirectly traceable to injury in
football in youth, is nothing more nor
less than what the rules of war have
to do with the long bitches of the
dead.

The Cotton Crop.

Never has cotton been more prom
ising the first day of July than it is
now. The stand is better than usual
and the plant is in healthy condition.
It is bunchy and the short limbs have
an abundance of squares. While some
early farmers reported blooms in June
there is no general blooming and it is
about as late as usual. But the yield
depends on the rain till the last of
August and the cultivation given.
The farmer has no control of the rain,
but he can neglect or cultivate his
cotton as he desires. It is necessary
to preserve the moisture. 1t can be
kept from rapid evaporation by STIR
ring the soil after every shower. Two
inches of rain that falls in two hours
and beats the soil until it is hard, will
evaporate quicker than a half inch
that falls slowly. The corn being laid
by use the cultivators freely in the
cotton, especially after hard showers.
This can be kept up till the first Of
August in the larger cotton and until
the middle of August in the younger.
Even if there is no grass, stir the soil
after hard shower. One run with
an expanding harrow will do the
work, or two runs with the side har-
row.-Carolina Spartan.
