The State Supreme court has for
ever disbarred John T. Duncan from
the roll of attorneys in South Caroline.
The decision was handed down on
Thursday. It was written by Judge
r. w. Memmenger, of Charleston,
and is very able document indeed.
The Court completely exhonorates
Solicitor Zimmerman of any wrong
doing, which is most gratifying to
the young Solicitors many friends
throughout the State.

CIRCULATION 2,266.
Wednesday, September is, 1908.

*, Well, South Carolina has lost her
dispensary case. This is a true case
of ''We told you so.'' The Dispatch
predicted several months ago that it
would amount to nothing and in the
final end the taxpayers of the State
would be the losers. Federal Judge
Pritchard has been sustained in every
point of the case by the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals. It is need
less. in our opinion, to carry the case
further.

ROTATING CROPS.
1t will Help the Soil and Your Bank
Account.

1t Is desirable to so plan the farm
work as to crops that there will be
rotation from year to year. Ii this
is combined with the proper use of
fertilizers it will keep the farm In
good shape from year to year. Diff
ferent crops use different quantities
of plant food, and so all crops return
something to the land in the way of
decaying roots and perhaps acids set
loose in the decaying processes. The
insects are kept down by the rota-
tons and the weeds are also better
kept under control, says Farmers Re-
view. 1t Is hard to check the spread
of insects if the same crops are grown
on the same fields every year. There
are some insects that feed on some
crops but starve on others, and the ro-
tation process helps the starvation of
the insects. The best-kept farms are
where the crops are rotated. Usually
the fields should each have a legumi-
nous crop once every few years, this
depending on the richness of the soil
and the kind of other plants grown.
Thus, on soil too rich in nitrogen,
we would not suggest leguminous
crop in the rotation till the too album
dant supply of nitrogen in the soil had
been exhausted.

Fall Planting of Spinach.

Spinach can be produced almost
any time during the year and finds

September for the early spring crops,
Fall sown spinach is available during
the winter months. The soil should be
made very rich, using the best of
compost quite freely The yield is
largely increased by a top-dressing of
poultry manure. Plant in drills one
foot apart, using seed very freely, IL

October if to be used or sold The
main crop usually winters over with

GOOD PASTURES.
Old World Countries Can Teaeh 'oe
American Farmer Many Eessoh"'

May the day come when the pas
lures on the American farm VIII DC
as carefully taken care of as they are
in some of the older dairy countries
of the world. There is no DOUBT thal
the pasture is now one OF the pest
paying parts of the farm, even WIN
its neglect, and it can be far more
profitable If it is made to produce ds
much as it should produce what Is
more beautiful than a sunny pasture
in which the grass is fine ana thlch
and the sod Is so deep and compact
that it is difficult to dig down 10 the
naked soil!
The cows luxuriate in such a pas
ture. They do their own harvesting ol
the crop, and this is one of the Items
of profit not generally thought Oh
The better pasture the more OF a crop
there Is for the cows to harvest. Inc
question of the pasturage has not yet
been deeply studied by the American
farmer He has slurred over II, as Is
seen by the conditions of our pastures
almost everywhere.
Recently the writer of this was
driving through some of the best
farming land of Illinois. As he came
to a beautifully placed and beautifully
kept farm, the driver said to him:
The man that owns this farm always
has things in beautiful condition
Nothing is ever lying about me
fences are up and the trees, shrubs
and flowers are in proper trim. the
owner is worth s150,000, and he and
his wife have made it together"
1t was indeed a beautiful place and
the two-story farm house was in keep
ing with the rest. 1t showed that the
occupants had artists souls. But the
writer was compelled to remark to
the driver THE one drawback is the
pasture, which is eaten down to the
ground"
Here was an illustration of the
habit that has taken hold of the
frmer, that of neglecting his pasture.
If it is free from stones and stumps
and Is not tramped into mire in any
place it is thought to be good enough.
In the case of the man referred to,
the pasture could have been made
as perfect and beautiful as was the
rest of the farm The chief reason
for its not being so lay in the mere
fact that his conception of what a
pasture should be was as low as that
of most of our farmers, whether they
live in New England or in the prairies
of the west.

College Manners.


The dean of the women's depart
ment in a western university recently
told her undergraduates that they are
habitually guilty Of various offenses
against the laws which govern the
well-bred 1t is wholesome that this
criticism should come from within a
college, for that brings hope of ra-
tional Improvement. 1t has always
been true that a community composed
chiefly OF persons Of one sex has a
tendency to drop into carelessness OF
behavior Colleges have been no ex
ception to the rule. A certain mother
had entered her daughter at wei
known college, and went to the town
to make the last arrangements for her
room and studies. She CHANGED TIC

the hourly change of classes. She
stood on the green watching the hun
dreds of young women as they trooped
out OF recitation rooms and dormitor
les. What she saw in five minutes
caused her to determine to send her
daughter to Europe with tutor
rather than to college What was
wrong with the grls?' asked friend
who could not understand what
seemed to her capriclous change O
plan. Nothing was wrong, replied
the mother. IF there had been an,
question of morals In the case,
should not have hesitated to trust
Mary to stand her ground. But bad
manners are more subtly contagious
than bad morals. | could not bear
think of my daughter among the
screaming, 'stramming, slouchlng
girls, careless of dress and hair and
voice, who swarmed over that campus
Doubtless there were well.bred girls
there, but they were lost In the
crowd Education of the mind is good
but unless 1t goes hand in hand with
breeding In gentle manners, 1t makes
scholars who are neither good citizens
nor sweet women-and want none of
such In my family So, remarks the
Youths Companion, deans and presi-
dents and professors Of women's col
leges may well take to heart the fact
that the world now, as In the past, is
more exacting as to girls manners
than as to her requirements Nothing
would prove a greater obstacle to the
future spread of the higher education
of women than evidence that 1t Is In

A German Psychologist has ad-
yanced the proposition that the Phar-
aoh who would not let Israel go had
seven bad teeth, and that 1t was their
combined influence that gave him so
bad disposition This might be
plausible. but it hardly accords with
the theory of the divine mission of
Moses. III it had been merely case
of toothache 1t would have been much
simpler to have had Moses cure it and
gain the unlimited favor of Pharaoh

POOR MAN AND POOR COW.
The Poorer the Man Is the Less He
Can Afford to Keep a Poor Cow.

No man who keeps COWS for the
money there is in it is so rich that he
can afford to keep poor ones. The rich
fellow who goes into the dairy bust
ness for the satisfaction he can get
out of 1t usually keeps the best cows
that money can buy. The poor man
who must depend upon his dairy for
his living and profit too often keeps
poor cows because the better ones
cost more money. The rich fellow
could well afford to keep this kind,
but it is the most foolish kind of fool
ishness for the poor man to own such
COWS He is just the man who should
own the good cows. 1t is impossible,
of course for him to buy the kind of
cows the rich fellow does, but this is
not necessary or advisable. He can
build up a herd of good COWS from a
very few good mixers by using a
good dairy sire, and by studying the
individuality of his herd. Just little
improvement each year will do the
business

A Deserted VILLAGE.

The site of the erstwhile flourishing
village of Brendon is represented by
few gaunt stone chimneys, stray
cluster of roofess cottages, dilapi
dated Dissenting chapel, a ghostly
railway station and one fair-sized
shop, which serves the needs OF the
scattered community living on the
Brendon Hills, says H. G. Archer, in
the Wide World Magazine. But for
many years the deserted village was
left just as it was when the miners
occupied it, and as such presented an
extraordinary sight-silent, grass
grown streets of closed houses, shops
inns and places of worship. 1t was
only comparatively recently that the
buildings were RACED and the materials
of which they were composed sold and
carried away To-day the most tan.

built for the miners. No attempt has

cried out: This sounds hollow"
Your bronze is hollow, monsieur,
said the mayor.
The unhappy sculptor then TOOK
great pains to explain that all bronze

1t looks strange for New York to be
shipping buffaloes to Oklahoma to
stock a reserve, but careful estimate
of existing pure.blooded buffaloes in
1908 explains the necessity for it, AT
the time the total of wild buffaloes In
the United States was a. and in
Canada 600 The captive buffaloes
were, in the United States, $50; In
Canada, Al; In Europe, 1870. And yet
40 years ago hundreds of thousands of
them roamed the west, and these were
but a remnant of the vast herds that
existed century earlier. 1t Is evi-
dent that stringent precautions will be
needed to preserve enough of them
for the wild west shows of the next
generation.
