ImnroIing a Mountain Farm.

the mountains of western North Car
ollna, which has been neglected and
needs improvement. The soil is
sandy. l will appreciate any sugges-
tlons."
Answer; One Of the chief needs of
a sandy soil that has been abused is
undoubtedly vegetable matter. The
soil is also likely to be deficient in
available supplies OF phosphoric acid
and potash. You can add the needed
vegetable matter to the soil cheaply
and to advantage through the use Of
leguminous crops. Among the crops
that are grown to advantage in your
locality will be any Of the cloyers, the
cowpea, the vetch, soy bean and vel
vet bean. The velvet bean will hard
ly mature seed, but it grows we'll on
thin land and makes an immense
mass of green material which can
first be pastured off, thus making the
land produce something OF value and
the refuse plowed under to add veget-
able matter to the soil, Animals pas
ture on the velvet bean to advantage
when they become accustomed to It,
though, of course, one should look
out for bloat, which is liable to hap
pen when animals are pasturing on
any green crop that is wet with dew
or soaked by heavy rains.
Under your conditions 1t is impor-
tant that you adopt a rotation as
nearly as possible One of the best
you could use would be to SOW the
land in cowpeas this spring, using
200 pounds Of sixteen per cent. acid
phosphate and seventy-flve pounds OF
muriate Of potash per acre. If the
land has not grown peas for several
years get two or three wagon loads
of earth FROM an old pea field and
scatter thinly over the surface and
work in with a harrow before seed
ing. Use either the Whipporwill,
New Era Or Black pea. Cut the first
crop for hay and let the second crop
grow as long as possible before turn
ing It under. Turn under and seed
to wheat, using a complete fertilizer
at the rate of 100 pounds of cotton
seed meal, 100 pounds Of sixteen per
| cent. acid phosphate and twenty-five
pounds of muriate of potash. Apply
| the fertilizer we'll away from the
seed. as cottonseed meal sometimes
has an injurious effect on germina'
ton. In the spring seed the wheat
down to clover and timothy, or II You
prefer, a pasture seeded to clover and
orchard grass. Allow to stand two
years in grass, cutting for hay one
year and grazing the second year
Then turn in the spring and put il
corn, seeding to crimson clover II
the fall to pillow under and then bach
to cowpeas and wheat and grass,
You will need to use plentiful sup
niles of phosphates and potash ant
IL your land is acid, give a good coat
ing of lime, using one ton per acre
This may be purchased in the un
Stacked form and distributed in heap
and scattered over the soil whe'
properly Stacked, or it may be Stacked
in quantity, and distributed with

The Reason For Mr.. BIease.

There is no liquor ISSUE" says Mr..
Blease, "and nobody has any business
raising that question in this cam
paign."
A Bleasey declaration this.
But Mr.. Blease is himself the en-
bodiment of the liquor issue-liquor
and graft.
Did not Mr.. Blease fight for the state
dispensary and to the last ditch, after
everybody else had abandoned it?
And after the dispensary was killed,
did not Mr. Blease do all be could to
prevent that appropriation for which
the attorney general asked with which
to prosecute the grafters? And fur
ther did he not stand by the grafters
in opposition to that resolution that
passed the house with the purpose of
circumventing the jurisdiction of the
United States court?
AS a matter of fact, did not the dis
pensary investigation show all along
that Mr. Blease was in close touch and
sympathy with the grafters, even if he
was not one of them himself, and as
member of the investigating committee
did he not do everything that lay in
his power to keep the truth from COM
ing out?
Is there anybody in this country so
innocent as to suppose that If Mr..
Blease is elected governor, the circum-
stance will not put an end to all pos
sibility of Furnishing the grafters
They say he is a man who stands by
his friends" and if his friends should
be convicted, will he not pardon them?
And is it not more than probable
that this is the reason for Mr.. Blease's
candidacy?
AS we see it, Mr.. Blease is himself
the liquor issue, and this being the
case, it is perfectly natural that when
any one approaches dangerously near
the subject, he should deprecatingly
raise his hand and whisper, Hist"

AS TO COCAINE.

notwithstanding the fact that
many of the states have anti-cocaine
laws, the officers find it no easy mat
ter to enforce them. South Carolina
has a very stringent law, but not a
single conviction has been secured
thus far, although there are several
indictments now pending in the Rich
land county courts for violation of
this statute.
The United States government
realizing the great harm that Is be-
ing worked throughout the country
by promiscuous use of this dangerous
drug, has taken a hand and the state
and municipal authorities will be
greatly aided hereafter by the gov
ernment agents in stamping out this
growing curse. The following gener-
al order has been issued from the Of
flee of the postmaster general al
Washington, making it unlawful tc
send cocaine through the mails:
Order No. 1874.
THE postal laws and regulations
are hereby amended as follows:
Paragraph of section 494 Is
amended, by inserting in the second
line thereof, after the word malt
the words cocaine or derivatives
thereof so that it will read as fol-
lows: Intoxicating liquors (ardent
vinous, spirituous or malD, cocaine
or derivatives thereof poisons, explo-
sive or inflammable articles, live OF
dead (and not stuffed) animals and
reptiles Except as prescribed in Sec
ton 1860, guano, or any article eX-
haling a bad odor, must not under
any circumstances be admitted to the
mails"
