The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1909-08-18
After the Show.

A we'll dressed man, said to be an
Englishman, has ben arrested in
Montmartre. Paris. on a charge of
rendering bad half-sovereigns for
dinners and entertainments. Which
reminds us of the story about the
touring company which has been do
ing very bad business in "the smalls."
While the proprietor and sole respon-
s'pie manager was standing outside
the temporary theatre (the Corn ex-
change) very small boy with a very
large melon arrived and proposed to
barter the fruit for seat in the gall
lery. The bargain was duly conclud-
ed, and the scene now changes to the
interior OF the theatre after the per-
formance: Boy" says the manager
severely, that melon was rotten"
Ihats all right" returns the youth
ful critic, so was yer show."--Lon-
don Globe.

hurry Is tne ueVll, says an Ara
bian prOverb. Although we under
stand that the Oriental has con-
stitutiOnal prejudice against haste. it
might be well for us to consider the
proverb seriously applied to ourselves
at nation. The morning paper gives
us a daily list of deaths by suicide.
apoplexy and insanity-men in the
prime of life rushing into eternity.
desperate because they are left be-
hind in the race or driven mad by the
rush of the business world.
What is the matter? Is it the
changing climate that stimulates the
nervous system to abnormal activity :?
Is it the struggle for money? Is it
the desire to emulate others, or is it
habit?
A distinguished foreigner in writ
ing his impressions of us says that
we are not accomplishing anything
more than If we were quiet; that we
are doing it merely to give the i'm
preston of activity. We take our
selves too seriously The woman who
f1utters about, creating confusion, is
not the one who is doing the most
work in the world.
Hurry means physical tension
somewhere, and exhaustion after
ward. Hurry suggests bad planning
or careless execution. Hurry means
loss of dignity and power. Hurry
means fear, and fear is the greatest
enemy Of success.
Can we stop hurrying? Some ans
wer that we must keep up with the
procession or drop out entirely. Let
us see If we can not conserve our
strength, at least in small ways. Let
us take thought and begin to reform.
AS tension expresses itself in bodily
movements, we must first learn mus
cular control. Relaxation means let
ting go, and while We are learning to
letgo we are getting ourselves train
ed to take hold again when the time
comes. For relaxation teaches far
more than rest.
First, 1T enables us to do what we
will with our own bodies, and to do it
easily.
Second, it is the basis of grace and
beauty, free joints being necessary
for all easy movements. In walking
1T is the free hip that permits the
athletic swing of the leg, and the
relaxed shoulder that let's the arm
hang as it should at the side. The
willowy movements of the Orientals.
the salaams and kowtows and rhyth-
mic dancing, show the power to re-
lax, which, of course, is increased by
the warmer climate.
Third, relaxation teaches us to
conserve the energy by using only
the part of the body necessary. one
may stand still while waiting: let the
chair hold him while sitting: stoop
by bending the legs instead OF tho
back; lie with all muscles relaxed
when sleeping instead of rigidly.
In vain people try to attain a calm
manner with tense body. When we
have relaxed the muscles at will we
may easily become quiet in manner
and peaceful in spirit The bodily
condition is the basis of real rest.
We will not hurry when we know
the danger to the nervous system: /:
when we realize fully that We gain
power by working quietly; when we
believe that we are living in Eternity
now. Then We can say with the poet,
whose life is lived close to the world
of nature:
L stay my haste, 1 make delays:
For what ayails this eager pace?
l stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know nv

am giad 10 see that Prof. Mas
sey admits that in the humid SEQ
tions of the country there often is
much loss Of corn and fodder when
shocked. If 1t Is ever the best way
to save corn In this section It is for
late corn that ripens in September
and that would be in the shocks dur
ing October.
'Inoculation and the Nitrogen Sup
ply" Is a subject that needs more at.
tention from our cotton farmers. Men
who have depended on commercial
fertilizers for their crops find that
there Is gradual increase in the
amount Of fertilizers used to keep up
the increase in production of the
crops. And that the increased use OF
fertilizers Is more than the increase
In yield. I do not mean to say that
the fertilizers do not pay. but that
The fertilizers are too heavy tax on
the farm and that 1t Is growing heav-
Ter each year instead of lighter.
Showing that the land is not growing
richer. For this reason 1 have ar
ranged for Prof. Goodrich to be at
Mayesville on Wednesday, We have
around Mayesvile some of the best
farmers that l know Of anywhere,
but their increased yields are not
keeping pace with increased use of
fertilizers.
The finest field of corn of its size
that ever saw Is Mr.. Parker's, near
Gaillard's Cross Roads--90 acres
that will make from SO to so bushels
per acre. 1t has been variously esti-
mated at from so to 80 bushels, and
I think SO or so bushels safe and
Counted the ears on a half acre row
before making my estimate. Mr.
Parker finds corn more profitable
than cotton. He was composing his
oat straw and stable manure to ap-
ply on his pea stubble 1st of Septem-
Der. when he will sow rye for win
ter crop to be plowed in for corn next
season. If he will add some winter
legume. and put more fences around
his farm the conditions will then be
ideal for the greatest Improvement.
The Gen. Sumter Agricultural So
ciety was formally launched on the
14th. Gen. w. e. James for many
years secretary and for Is years pres
ident Of the Darlington Agriculture,
society, was present and gave the
benefit of his experience.
Crops In the upper parts of the
county show the effects of the ex-
cessive rains, and with a very few
exceptions are the poorest ever saw
In that section.
Notable exceptions are the corn
crop of Mr.. Parker and the cotton
on the Aycock farm. which is the
best 1 have seen there in several
years, and I think Is the result of US
ing green cotton seed, the piles of
which dotted the fields In February
as far as the eye could see.
