Appeal for Orphans.
W f O..

We have been requested to publish
the following on behalf of the several
orphanages of the State:
Attention is called to the concert
of action among the orphan institu-
tions of South Carolina with regard
to a special work day effort Saturday,
September 25, next. Thornwell or
phsnage, Connie Maxwell orphanage
and Epworth orphanage have def
nitely planned for the success of the
day and are circulating literature
upon the subject. We presume that
every orphan institutional whatever
size or under whatever auspices, will
be glad to have its friends remember
it on this day.
The plan is simple enough. Let
every boy and girl, every man and
woman, young and old, devote the
income of the day to the orphanage
of his choice. Some of the children
may pick cotton, others NAV gather
up old iron and sell 1t, some will do
odd jobs, others will devote their sal
ary or wages of that day to the care
of the orphans.
Coming down to the plain truth, is
there any cause that warns the
cookies of the heart like the plea for
the fatherless? Let all the people join
in the work day effort September 25,
and roll up big amount for the or
phans, and forward the same to such
institution as each may select.

Wednesday morning, Gentle Jane
Started in an aeroplane;
''Ha" said Gentle Jane, in glee.
cit is now all up with me-
But the airship wouldn't work,
And it fell with such jerk
In some river flowing south;
Leaving Jane down in the mouth.
When an alligator spied
Jane, his Jaws he opened wide,
Saying in a tone polite.
"Do drop in and get bite"
Soon they tinkered up the craft;
Jane got in and gayly laughed.
Joy and gladness filled her cup:
"Ha!" said Jane, ''the jig is up.'
As the wind grew stiff and sitter,
James opinions seemed to differ.
Then nearby cyclone showed;
well" said Jane. 81 will be blOwed!
But the airship, soaring by,
Cut a furrow in the sky;
Passed 'twixt Mercury and Mars;
Gentle Jane said, "Oh, my stars'
Onward went the aeroplane;
Onward, too, went Gentle Jane,
Ever darker grew the night

PROFIT IN TOBACCO.
Mr. ] Davis Carter Clears Sl3S.67
per Acre on His Crop.

10 the Editor of The News and
Courier: Will you allow me space
in he News and Colrier for a short
talk to my many brother farmers.
First, | will say it is my opinion,
from all the information that | have
been able to gather, that the farmers
of South Carolina want to become
more independent, but fear that
too many have fallen into the habit
of planting cotton, depending en-
tirely upon cotton alone to buy all
else that they need. And the conse-
quence Is the price Is up one year
and down the next, and instead Of
becoming more independent. | am
of the opinion that great many
are becoming more and more de-
pendent. Now, brother farmer,
havn't you tried this plan of farm
ing enough: Well, you are ready to
admit tLlt say you, what else
can d. TO this would answer
and repeat what has often been
said before; that is, make more hog
and hominy at home, and save the
freight and the merchants profit.
Now, am going to give you a
bit of my experience IN planting
other crops for money, instead of
cotton. Tobacco is my hobby, and
let me say here that | have travelled
all over South Carolina, and believe
from observation that We have the
finest soil for growing tobacco of
any State in the Union. Now, let
me give you little of my ex-
perience in growing tobacco: | have
been planting it for number of
years, and have always made money
on it. Some years more than others.
Now,I will give you some figures on
this years crop. planted eighteen
acres in tobacco last spring. / used
800 pounds guano tobacco fertilizer
per acre. Labor is hard to get here,
and worth little when you get it.
So ! count that, taking all into
count, my tobacco cost me from the
seed bed 10 the warehouse, all told,
$50 per acre. Well, yoa say that
seems like costly crop. So it is,
but I sold that crop of tobacco and
finished delivering it on August 25
for $1SS. 81 per acre, giving me a
clear profit of Sl3S.67 per acre.
Where will you be at the close of
the season, cotton mans Let me hear
from you. Now, Mr. ,.Sitor, l am
just getting to where l lanted to
say something in the interest of
tobacco, but my article will be too
long. So will not say more at this
time, but with your permission will
continue this subject later.
