gress from the sixth South Caro-
lima district. Judge Mackey
was the presiding judge at the
Lancaster court, which was in
session at the time Congressma an
Wallace died, and upon hearing
of the death of Congressman
Wallace, Judge Mackey made
these remarks from the bench:
1.-The court has just heard
with infinite satisfaction of the
death of A. S. Wallace, and the
court now stands adjourned in
honor of that glorious event. The
court will address the constitu-
ents of the illustrious dead from
the court house steps at 4 O'Clock
this afternoon and will suggest
that they erect a monument to
his memory and that the fol-
lowing inscription be placed up
on it:
"Beneath these stones A. S.
Wallace's bones
In solitude are laid
'Tis here he paid dame Nature's
debt.
The only one he ever paid;
To heaven Wallace has not gone,
Too mean to pay the toll;
Neither has he gone to he'll,
For Wallace h as no soul.
The form in which Judge Mac.
key passed sentence upon man
convicted of arson at the court of
general sessions in Lancaster
county is sad commentary on
the state of affairs existing in
South Carolina at that time. This
paper is on file in the court house
at Lan0a..ef:
estate of South Carolina,
County of Lancaster.
"I do hereby sentence Calvin
Black, conv rted of arson, to i'm
pr 'onment in the penitentiary
at hard labor for life. "This
convict was ably and earnestly
defended by Messrs. Kershaw
and Moore, two distinguished
counsellors assigned by the court.
The verdict was rendered by an
Impartial jury OF singular intel
hgence, composed of five white
and seven colored citizens select.

"The evidence developed the
fact that child about seven

Knapp's Plan 70 Grow Corn.
By DR.. 8. A. Knapp.


It is impossible to lay down rifles
applicable to all climates, soils, and
conditions; hence good Judgment
should always be used in application
of any instructions. The following
suggestions can generally be followed
with profit:
/. We prefer deep fall breaking
tplowing) for corn.
Q. It should be done with a disc or
sub-soil plow 50 as not to bring to the
surface too much Of the unaired sub
soil.
3. In sections of very light winter
rainfall the field should be disced or
narrowed at once after breaking, but
where the winter rains are abundant
the breaking should be left in the
furrow.
+. If no fall breaking was done,
commence as early as conditions per-
nit in the spring; break to 10 inches
deep with a disc or sub-soil plow and
cross plow once with the same imple-
ments.
5. Then, whether fall or spring
broken, work the land with disc or
harrow and continue till the soil is
fine as powder. Repeat the process
just before planting. Pulyerizing with
the harrow should be about four inches
deep.
BEDDING Up.
Bedding up for corn is always advis-
able in territory of considerable rain
fall; with lighter precipitation and
good drainage on loamy soils, fat
planting is the better. In either case
the seed bed should be thoroughly
pulverized. Delay planting till safe
from frost.
DISTANCE BETWEEN ROWS.
For corn, if lend will not make large
ears on every stalk when standing 20
inches apart in the row, rows being
four feet apart, it should be summer
fallowed and crop of sorghum and
cowpeas turned under.
There is more waste oflabor on poor
corn fields in the South than on any
other crop.
Test the seed for termination. \
box with garden soil in it will answer.
Place in warm room.
PLANT SHALLOW.
The main cause of SO many poor
stands are a poor seed bed, bad seed
and deep planting. Planting from -
to l inch deep is better than deeper
in most soils and climates, and the
seed bed must be high enough not to
be water soaked.
A door stand is a bad start for a
good crop.
USE TIE TOOTH HARROW.
The use Of the tooth o. smoothing
harrow jisj before and Immediately
after plunting by crossing the burrows
is an excailert practice; and az socn
az the corn - up You should comm encc
to cultivate Immediately.

A little GHILD'S PLEA
Very Poor, This Little One Pleads For

Much Good Work Done.

From the Herald office the past
two days has gone forth worlds of

in the work know of the great amount
of good work done, and the many lit

that was contributed, and the Or
gained Charities furnished funds
with which to buy more. And still
the calls come. Here is one received
by today's mail. and it is fair sam
pie of the many others received:

BOOZE FILLED THE SEATS
Sight a Most Disgusting One, Espec-
tally to Women and Children
Travellers.

On outgoing trains today big pack.
ages of booze filled many of the seats,
until trainmen went through and
made them unload for passengers
standing. Hundreds of men, some of
them little more than boys, wagged
more booze ont of town than was rep
resented in actual values by the cloth
ing on their backs. 1t seems to be
the poorer class of humanity that is
disposed to spend most of its money
in the very way it should not.
Railroad companies would be justi-
fed in making ruling that whiskey
cannot be carried in passenger coach
es, even in packages. The state might
enact such a law to advantage. If
people must carry such stuff with
them, let them either check or ex-
press it, and not fill the coaches up
with it. The sight is most disgust
ing one, especially to the women and
children who are travelling.

the boy in n similar attempt last week, but
had to let him 80 because he cried 80 bitter
Then Bonnie was taken to the police sta-
ton and questioned. He said his compani-
ons were from ten to thirteen years old and
they let him do the work, although thew
shared in the HpoiIs. The plan was to sneak
behind counters and steal money from the
cash drawers while tue places were filled
with customers.
In one case, he said, be and another boy
started q tire In the entry of Il tenement
house in Madison avenue, near Ninety

Az REYOIR.

To Col. Theodore Roosevelt, departing
today for East Africa, whence, after his sci
entifc encounters with the wild animals Of
that region, he will emerge in Europe in his
more peaceful capacity as publicist, student,
and counsellor of his fellow men, the
Times SAYS au reyoir but not good bye. He
will return, with health unimpaired, with
zeal undated, to resume his labours in be-
half Of right and progress IN his own land.
There is no need to tell him that he will
carry with him wherever he goes the abid-
ing affection of nearly SC, 1000, 600 Of people.
They who dislike Col. Roosevelt, or think
they do, scarcely count in the Census.
Wherever he goes he will make friends
among human beings 1--WE do not believe the
lions and onus will care for his policy and
impress everybody will a reasonably high
vet easily appreciate ideal of the American
citizen. Courage, energy, quick co-ordina-
ton of muscle and brain, persistent alert
ness, bourdless sympathy, and good fellow
ship are characteristics of Col Roosevelt.
Everybody likes such q man. There is
not one better fitted to represent the spirit
of his Nation and his time in the Wilds of
East Africa.
OF course theNation is sorry he is going, sorry
to miss the inspiration of his presence, the
influence of his unquenchable vitality, for
even a short time. But he has earned his
vacation, and while he is absent we must
try to get along the best we can. But we
say au revoir and also "good hunting" with
all our hearts, glad to think that goodbye
or farewell would be inapproprlate.-Bs6
