way to cash is through a good
system of farming that will bring
you something to sell besides
cotton or tobacco or peanuts,
whichever of these may be your
money crop.
You will never advance much
so long as you consider every
thing but cotton merely as "sup-
plies" and fail to realize that
these auxiliary crops that make
up the improving rotation can
be developed into something
more than supplies, and become
a profitable part of your farm

Tfol. w. L. massey III i roeIeSsiNo rNmot'
Letter after letter comes to
me from our readers in every
sectioniof the South asking for a
formula for mixing q fertilizer
for this, that and tho other crop.
1t at times makes one almost
hopeless that the farmers of the
South will ever get out of their
slavery to the fertilizer mixer,
and realize that with a proper
rotation of crops, with plenty
of legumes thrown in, they can
increase the fertility and pro-
ductiveness of their land and
not use a fertilizer for every crop
planted.
Do you want to get as inde-
pendent as possible of the fertil-
izer mixer? If so, you must for
ever stop the practice Of grow
ing a clean cultivated crop like
cotton or corn year after year on
the same land, and attempting
to galvanize the dead skeleton
Of sand and clay into some sort
OF life with a little complete fer
tilizer, and that of "a low grade,
in which all the plant food costs
far more than in a high grade
article.
Do you want 10 know how to
avoid the cost of half the fertili-
zers If you do, you must adopt
a rotation of crops suited to the
increased production per acre
of your money crop. In short,
if you are growing cotton, you
must learn to farm tor cotton
and not be merely a planter OF
cotton.

OVER 400 PROFESS REELECTION.
Remarkable Religious Reviya' Being
Held at Ttfton, Ga.

Triton, Ca, May <22.-Perhaps the
most remarkable and wonderful re-
ligious revival ever held in South
Georgia is now in full sway in the
little city of Tifton. For two weeks
the meetings have been going on with
unabating enthusiasm. The mani
festation of the visitation Of the holy
spirit has never been seen In this sec
tlon with greater power than is at
the present time sweeping Tifton.
The work is wonderful and the re-
suits remarkable. Business of the
entire town is very largely suspend
ed. Strong men have bowed them
selves, notorious characters have sur
rendered and religion is veritably
popular. Some of the leading politi-
clans have confessed Christ and poll
tics has lost its absorbing interest.
Over four hundred have professed
conversion and nearly two hundred
have Joined the church.
Rev. Il. M. Christian, of Quitman,
Is in charge of the meeting with d.
w. Milan, of Griffin, as chorister,
and they are assisted in their evan
gelical work by Miss Wilkes, of Quit
man. The meetings are being held
in the Methodist church, though 1t is
a union revival, and at every session
the spacious building Is unable to
contain the eager crowds who seek
to attend. 1t is not known how long
the meetings will continue.

VIII Sue Charlotte Observer.

Clarence L. Brown, formerly OF
Barnwell, but now with the Char
lotte Observer, was in the city Tues
day in company with Mr.. Cocke,k
lawyer. They are getting testimony
to be used in the case Of G. M. Bill
lings against the. Charlotte Observer.
Our readers will remember the scan
dal in Blackville some months ago
when Rev. Billings was dismissed on
account of his alleged relations with
a negro servant in the family. The
Observer published an account of the
affair, and Mr.. Billings, who is now
living in North Carolina, brought
suit against the paper for $4,000
damages. The case is to be tried
next month. We understand that
Mr.. Billings has recently been max
ing efforts to get reinstated in the
church. -

The State Convention.
(Anderson Mail. 21st)


The State Democratic Convention
instructed the delegates to the Den
yer convention to vote for Mr.. Bryan
| first, last and all the time. This, in
the opinion of this paper, was an un-
wise thing to do, but the action Of
the convention was a foregone con-
clusion, and we are neither surprised
nor sore. 1t probably represents the
wishes Of a majority of the Demo-
Gratis of the State and as a Demo-
crat we cheerfully acquiesce in the
will Of the majority.
But the convention did one sur
prising and regretable thing. After
passing a resolution instructing the
delegates to the Denver convention
to vote for Bryan, 1T refused to elect
Capt. w. e. Gonzales, editor of the
Columbia State, as one of the dele
gates. Capt. Gonzales has been the
most active and ardent Bryan sup
porter In the State, and 1t is very
likely that IL 1t had not been for his
work for Bryan the convention would
not have instructed rs delegates for
him. Capt. Gonzales wanted to go
to the Denver convention and r. he
should have been elected. He had
fairly earned the right to go If he
wanted to go, and the men who
fought him and robbed him of his
desire were engaged in small busi-
ness.
The Daily Mail did not agree with
Capt. Gonzales in his Bryan ideas,
and does not agree with him in many
things, perhaps, but he is good
Democrat, he has done good work
for the party, and he was as much
entitled to the honor Of being sent
as delegate to the National Con-
vention as any man in the State, and
more entitled to 1t than some who
were elected. .....

there shall be but one candidate for

no opposition for State officers, the

tion, arrange or appaoint only one

(By Mr.. Mace, of Marion):
Resolved, That Rule /, of the
Democratic party, be amended by ad-
ding after the last word Of the first
paragraph the following:
"And whose name has been enroll
ed on the Democratic club list five
days before the said primary election,
and who is otherwise qualified under
the Constitution and rules of the
Democratic party to vote in the pri-
mary elections"
heleBateS UO instructed.
Senator Gary presented the reso-
luton for instructions, which was
also adopted without. debate or d.
vision: . .....
1--WE heartily endorse as the candi-
date Of the Democratic party for Pre-
sident of the United States VIM. Jen-
nings Bryan, and hereby instruct and
direct that the vote in the National
Convention at Denver be cast as
unit for his nomination until the
same is secured"
The convention adjourned at mid
night. .
The Clemson Matter.
There was quite fight in the COM
mittee room on the matter of adopt
ing a resolution requesting the trus-
tees and faculty of Clemson College
to reinstate the 800 young men who
were expelled. The intention of the
terfere in any way with the discip-
line or management at Clemson Col
lege, but as the largest political body
in the State to advise the faculty Of
the sentiment Of the people of the
State. The resolutions were finally
rejected after several ballots, includ-
ing tie votes, etc.
Mr.. James stated in the outset that
no reflection was intended to be cast
upon the justice of the verdict or the
wisdom of the faculty, but the OBJ
ject of the resolution was merely to
apprise the faculty of Clemson Col
lege of the fact that the people of
the State feel that these young men
have been punished sufficiently, and
that to deprive them Of further collie
giate training would be to do them
a wrong, irreparable and at the same
time unnecessary.

which there are more than of,e can

sioner.
There is a sentiment and belief
among the republican leaders that.
in spite of some of the handicaps of
the primary system, the party will go
before the people in November with
one of the strongest tickets ever placed
in the field. The republicans have one
distinct advantage, which they have
not enjoyed in former years. For
years past they have had to conduct
the campaign as a minority party. This
year the party has a satisfactory rec
ord on which it can go before the peo-
and ask for a continuance in power
and for an expression of confidence
from the electors.

DIRECT NOMINATION IN MISSOURI

ST. Louis, Mo- August 1.-The Mis-
souri, primary law. providing for the
direct nomination of candidates for
state. congressional and county Offices
will be tried out for the first time next
Monday. Neither the politicians nor
the general public appears entirely
satisfied with the change by which the
delegate conventions are superseded
by the system of direct primaries. The
party managers are opposed to the pri-
mary because it takes from them much
of the power and influence they here
tofore have exercised in the selection Of
candidates for office. The objection Of
the taxpayers arises from the fact that
they will have TO bear the expense of
the primary. which is estimated at not
less than $4,000.
Candidates for congress and a com
plete state ticket will be named at the
primary by both the democrats and re
publicans. The contests for nomina
ton are nearly all on the democratic
side and the chief interest naturally
centers in the fight for the head of the
ticket The contest for the democratic
nomination is three-cornered one.
The aspirants for the seat of Governor
Folk are David A. Ball Of Pike coun-
ty former congressman William s
Cowherd and Judge William H. Wal
lace.
Mr.. Cowherd is one Of the best known
politicians in the state. He is native
OF Missouri and a graduate of the state
university Since his admission to the
bar in 1882 he has practiced law in
Kansas City and has been honored with
the mayoralty and other public offices
in that city. For several years he has
represented the fifth district in con
gress.
David A Ball likewise Is a well
known politician. His political oppon-
ents have dubbed him the perennial
candidate" because of the frequency
with which he has sought or been
mentioned for public office. His pre-
vious campaigns have given him a
compact, loyal following in each coun-
ty in the state. This is expected to
prove of great benefit to him in a pri-
mary, where strength will be cumula-
tive.
The Neutenants OF Cowherd and Bal
have been inclined to pay little atten-
ton to Judge William H. Wallace, the
third candidate for the democratic gu
bernatoriaI nomination Nevertheless
Wallace has been conducting an ener-
getic campaign and his recent meetings
have been so well attended that his
opponents were forced to take notice
Some of the friends og Judge Wallace
declare he will sweep the large dino
cratic counties of the state like a
whirlwind. His platform takes a high
moral stand and his support is ex-
pected to come almost wholly from the
temperance and church element.
For the offices of lieutenant gov
ernor, auditor and nearly all of the
other places on the state ticket the
democrats have two or more candidates
in the field.
The republicans are now in control
of all the state Offices with the excep-
