Brussels sprouts may be easily
grown in the ordinary home vegetable
garden. The plant is close relative OF
the cabbage and caulifower, but in
stead OF producing a single head forms
a number of small ones in the axis of
the leaves, and these heads are called
sprouts and are the edible part or the
vegetable. The sprouts average one or
two inches in diameter.
The SEED should be sown in the open
ground as early as the weather per-
mits. When the plants are three inches
high they should be transplanted or
thinned out into rows tWenty-four to
thirty inches apart and about two feet
apart in the row. The plants must be
we'll watered after they have been
moved
AS the small sprouts begin to crowd
the leaves should be broken from the
stem to give the small heads more
room. A few leaves should be left at
the top of the stem where the new
heads are formed.
In warm climates the plants may be
left in the open ground all winter, the
heads being removed as desired, but
In more northern ATTITUDES plants that
are we'll laden with heads are taken up
when frost comes and set close to-
gether in pit or cellar or a "cold
frame" or bed covered with glass.
With little soil packed about their
roots they may in this way be kept all
winter, being used when needed. When
boiled or stewed with cream they are
delicious

Spraying Potato Vines.

The number of sprayings it will be
necessary to give potatoes depends
somewhat upon the season. II rainy
weather prevails 1t will be necessary
to spray more frequently than If 1t bs
comparatively dry, not only because
the rain will wash the spray material
Off the vines, but also because damp
weather is favorable to the develop
ment Of the disease. A good general
rule is to begin spraying when the
vines are about six inches high and
spray every ten days or two weeks
throughout the season.-W J. Green.

Growth of Pity.

No one formerly looked on with any
pity or even horror at punishments
which are now found too dreadful for
description Men were broken on the
wheel, were burned at the stake, were
racked, were cut up alive. No one
seems to have felt any pity for their
agonies. Men were put into noisome
prisons, where. with bad air and in.
sufficient food. they died unnoticed
and unpitied. 1t is very different now.

oAT CROP IN BOHEMIA.
Mountainous Districts Produce the
Best Yield This Year.

Consul Charles B. Harris OF Reich
enberg, furnishes the following report
on the lands, acreage and product OF
the oat crop In Bohemia:
Bohemia in 1907 planted 1,170,524
acres in oats, producing a crop Of
42,975,S34 bushels, the average yield
being 36.7 bushels per acre. The
largest crops and best quality are
raised In the mountainous district,
where the soil Is heavy, mixed with
gravel, and where a small amount Of
wheat and rye is raised. Cultivation,
harvesting, and threshing are done by
hand, the scythe and fail being con-
splcuous. In the low land. however,
a limited amount Of machinery is
used. OF the varieties raised, the
most important and best Is the varle-
ty known as the Boehmerwald noun
tain oats, raised in the mountains
from 21OO to 200 feet above sea
level.
For further information a statlsti-
cal Statement, is forwarded regarding
locality, yield per acre, and quality,

Oh Alcoholic Insanity.

The first symptoms OF alcoholic in.
sanity are to be found in a dulling
of the sense OF obligation.
When you drink you are not get
ting up more steam by feeding the
fire; you are burning the fire out
under forced draught.
The "alcoholic" is a man who is dis
counting natures promissory notes
in a ruinous percentage.
When a drinking man finds that he
prOcrastinates in the performance of
small duties, such as answering let
ters, or telling small lies because they
are easier than the truth. or that he
promises readily and fulfllls tardily
or not at all. insanity Is spinning her
web about his brain.
question II the final mission of
alcohol Is not n good one. What we
need Is a race OF men, normal, hardy
and efficient. not because they craft
lily abstain from whiskey. but rather
because they are superior to its eff
fects.
Alcohol Is wedding out the unfit
Cut off the worlds drink for four
generations and you will have, not
a strong and vibrant race, but one
which alcohol "ould find as helpless
a victim as II found the American
Indians.
Alcoholic insanity is so fearfully
common because drinking is a more
popular way to unbalance the mind
than working and worrying.

HOMICIDE IN ANDERSON.
Wiley Mcintosh, Colored, Shot and
Killed by Eulace Belcher.

Anderson, Oct. 7.-Anderson coun-
tv added another homicide to her list
when Wiley Mcintosh, coiored. was
shot and killed by Euiace Belcher at
Barnes station. Belcher has been ar
rested and lodged in the county jail.
According to McIntosh's dying state
ment. the shooting was premedltated,
He IS quoted as saying that Belcher
owed him 25 cents and that he prom
ised to pay it to him provided ne
(Ilclntosh) would call at Be!cher S
house for it. Belcher picked quar-
rel with Mcintosh when the latter
arrived to collect the money. The
quarrel was concerning Belcher' S
wife. Belcher commenced the firing,
so it is said, and while attempting to
run away Mcintosh was hit by bull
let, which caused his death.
Belcher tells different story. He
says that he heard noise under his
house and that when he went out to
investigate it some one began shot
ing at him from under the house.
He said he returned the fire and hit
Mcintosh. Belcher said that Mcln-
tosh was running when he shot him,
hence the bullet wounds in the ne
gro's back. Belcher made no attempt
to escape and did not resist arrest.

Is This True?

I'VE understand that the people
of Warren and Broxton townships in
Colleton county are agitating the
matter of voting themselves into
Bamberg county. While we do not
care to be put in the position of try
ing to make people in other counties
dissatisfied. still If they want to come
they will be welcomed. We under
stand there is a movement in Black
vile township, in Barnwell county,
to come into Bamberg also. Bamberg
county will be glad to have all these
people should they care to come, and
we believe it will be to their interest
to do so.-Bamberg Herald
The above comes as quite a sur
prise to us-we have heard abso-
lutely nothing of any "agitation' on
the part of any one to go to Bamberg
county. We trust this is only one OF
brother knights dreams of what he
would like to see. Of course the Deo-
pie of Warren and Broxton town
ships do not wish any such thing,
They are at present mighty vel
pleased with Colleton. Bambere
county would beyond doubt. be glad
to o\have these townships, but it viii
not just the same.-Walterborc

New City Hall.

City council is discussing the pro-
position of erecting new building
to replace the one destroyed by fire.
1t is likely that Bamberg will have a
sky scraper, as it is the plan of coun-
Gil to erect a three-storv building it
possible. They wish to erect build
ing 33X1OO feet with handsome
store on the first floor. On the second
floor will be larger hall for public
tainments, ETC., and the third floor
will be lodge room for the
Masons and Knights of Py-
thias, this hall to be used ex-
clusively for a lodge room. 1t will
be fitted up Handsomely, and will
have a reading room, ali necessary
ante rooms, regalia closets. and a
large lodge room. Council and re-
presentatives Of the lodges are con-
ferring together, and it may be that
the lodges will build the third story
and own it, as council has not the
money in it's treasury to erect the
entire building. The knights OF
Pythias lodge has about $1,000 on
hand and the Masons several hun
dred, so they could easily borrow any
balance needed. 1t is their idea to
fit up the hall with handsome fur
niture, carpet, etc., in other words to
make as nice lodge room as there is
in the State, and it is also proposed
to make the building one of the hand
soonest in town. 1t is a good idea,
and we hope to see the three-story
building erected.

CIVIC ASSOCIATION.

We are very much gratified that
the ladies of Bamberg have organized
q civic association. There is much
work for them to do, and we pledge
them the hearty support of this news
paper in their efforts for clean and
beautiful city. There are a number
bf suggestions we might make to
them as to work to take up, and, ii
they will pardon us, one of the first
things they should look after is the
habit of merchants sweeping the
paper and trash from their stores out
on Main street, there to be blown
about by the wind and scattered until
taken up by the town carts. 1t is
Just as easy to put this trash in a
barrel or box, and it would improve
appearances very much. But we did
not start out to offer Suggestions.
We only want to assure the associa-
ton of our hearty support and en-
couragement in their good work. No
movement of recent years has meant
so much for the town, and while
there are difficulties ahead, we feel
sure the association will accomplish
much good. The ladies have organ
lied with earnestness and enthusiasm
and we feel assured that this spirit
is not temporary.

DON'T EXPERIMENT
You Will Make No Mistake If You
Follow This Bamberg Citizens
Advice.
Never neglect your kidneys.


If YOU have pain in the back, uri-
nary disorders, dizziness and nerv'
business, it's time to act and no time
to experiment. These are all symp'
toms of kidney trouble, and you
should seek a remedy which is
known to cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy
to use. No need to experiment. 1t
has cured many stubborn cases in
Bamberg. Follow the advice of a
Bamberg citizen and be cured your
self.
J.. C. Utsey, Main St., Bamberg, s.
c., says: Il am very willing that
my name should be used in recon-
mendation of such valuable remedy
as Doan's Kidney Pills. l suffered
to quite an extent from kidney
trouble for several years. There were
pains in the small of my back
through the loins and at times l was
bothered by the irregular action OF
the kidneys. The use of several rem,
edies brought me but little relief ano
when l saw Doan's Kidney Pills ad
vertised, I went to the Peoples drug
store and procured a supply. AL
though l have not taken them long
enough to justify a cure, from the
results already received, I feel thai
it twill be but a short time before
this result is brought about. I hope
that others who are afflicted in
similar manner will give Doan's Kid

Just Land Greed.

And now comes the Bamberg Her
aid with the statement that part of
Colleton county wants to move.
Above all that it wants to get into
Bamberg county. Just to keep the
record straight this is what the Her
aid says:
eve understand that the people of
Warren and Broxton townships IN
Colleton county are agitating the
matter of voting themselves into
Bamberg county. While we do not
care to be put in the position of try
ing to make people in other counties
dissatisfied, still if they want to come
with us they will be welcomed. We
understand there is movement on
foot for Blackville township, in Barn
we'll county, to come into Bamberg al
so. Bamberg county will be glad to
have all these people should they care
to come, and we believe it will be to
their interest to do So.
Now, Neigbhor Knight may be
working a joke or leading up to a
boom issue, but he's certainly serv-
ing cold dope when he passes out
this dose. Some fellow may have
casually remarked that Bamberg is
a mighty good county-and 1t is
but this is the first information The
News has had that anybody preferred
Bamberg to Colleton county; any OF
the folks living in Colleton.
AS good as Bamberg is we are just
a little better as county, and we
are very shortly going to be better
than that. In fact, with all the de-
velopment work just opening up in
this county, and the possession OF
natural resources all over the county
which Bamberg could never hope to
lay claim to, who would want to
make such a move?
No, old fellow, you simply got the
left shoe on the right foot. No por-
ton of Colleton county has the
slightest reason to want to become a
part of Bamberg; but Bamberg has
every reason to want part of Cole
ton-which she can't get.
And say, neighbor, we are pretty
busy right now, and jokes are out
of season.-Colleton News.
