The Work Of Miss Mary T
Nance.

The press of the state has during
the past two years contained almost
numberless complimentary notices
of Miss Mary I. Nance and her
achievements for the rural schools,
but since meeting her face to face
and having had personal knowledge
of her real worth and the value OF
her work in developing the public
schools, our people realize that only
the half has been told. Miss Nance
is Almost intensive and indefatiga.
BILE worker. The rain may descend
in torrents, <the wind blow with
great fury and the mercury drop
many degrees, but with an unswerv-
ing devotion to duty she goes on
making two and three appointments
each day. Since reaching Our coun-
tya week ago, Miss Nance has met
with thirteen schools, besides max
ing two addresses in Edgefeld Sun
day. The one in the afternoon to
the mothers at the Presbyterian
church has ELECTED much exceeding
ly favorable comment and the ad-
dress before the student body at
the college Sunday evening was a
gem from every standpoint.
In her addresses to the pupils,
patrons and trustees Of the pub
lie school, Miss Nance urges en-
largement and improvement along
every line: Consolidation of the
weak schools; more comfortable and
more attractive buildings; better
equipments; more beautiful school
grounds; longer terms; local taxa
ition; a larger enrolment of pupils,
etc. The writer has heard very en-
5ceuraging reports from several of
the schools that Miss Nance has
visited. Already the patrons and
trustees are putting into practice
her helpful suggestions. There is. no
way of estimating the great value
that the visits from this very earnest,
consecrated Christian educator have
been to the people of our county.
They have been inspired with new
hopes and new ambitious from
which will come tangible and last
ing results.
2 Miss s Nance has to-day gone to
Meeting Street and McKendree.
Tomorrow she will visit the Tren-
ton High School, the Lott school
and Eureka. Engagements, have
been made for Philippi and Har-
mony for Friday.
Hasten the day when Miss Nance
can again visit the schools of Edge
field county!

Ninety-five Dollars Profit From
One Acre in Corn.

We have. all along contended, and
a great many farmers have agreed
with us, that it will pay every farm
er in the country to enter The Ad-
ivertiser's Corn Growers contest,
whether they win a prize or not. In
the form of large yield, handsome
returns will be realized from the Ia
Dor of cultivating the one acre and
for the money expended for COM
mercial fertilizers. furthermore,
the highly-fertilized acre will pro-
duce large yield the following
year.. AS an example of what actu-
al profit can be made from an acre
in corn, we copy the following expe-
frience of a Cherokee county farmer,
published in a recent issue of the
! Charlotte Observer:
springiI selected a piece of
gray land with red clay subsoil on
which Ilput seven two-horse loads
jof stable manure to the acre; then
turned the land with a two-horse
plow, cross,breaking it with one
horse plow. After breaking it the
second time I laid off the rows six
feet wide. Then / headed out with
a turn-plow, leaving a five-inch balk
When ready to plant [ broke out
balk with scooter, and followed in
the bottom of this furrow with a
Dixie plow with the wing taken off.
Then i ridged on this furrow with
a half shovel, going still deeper. 1

every four or FIVE inches. This was

When corn was small I ran round
it with harrow. Then / ran a fur
row in the centre Of the middle, and
this was high, bed, and bedded to
the furrow with a turnplow, throw
ing the dirt from the corn. This
left corn on the clay with very little
soil around it. I then thinned the
corn to six inches in the drill. ]

ment are required TO know just how
much the stalks should be stunted.
When / was convinced that my
corn had been sufficiently humiliated

l2-inch sweep around corn when 1t

put 500 pounds of mixed fertilizer
to the acre, containing cotton-seed

and kainit in equal parts. This was
the first fertilizer used at all. / put
this down in the oid sweep furrow,
on both sides of every other middle,
and covered by breaking out with
turnplow. One week later l treated
the other middle the same way. In
a few days / sided corn in first mid

pounds of nitrate of soda In this
furrow, coyered] one furrow with
turnplow; sowed peas broadcast in
this middle at the rate of l l-2 BUSH
els per acre, finished breaking out
with turnplow. In few days sid
ed corn with the other middle with
same sweep, sowed peas and broke
out as before. This laid by my
corn with good bed and plenty dirt
around the stalk. This was July 7,
when corn was punching for tassel.
This fall l gathered 121 bushels

Frank Damon being the smallest and
most active IN the party was the first
20 enter. This he did By stepping
lightly on an organ, floating on the dry
side, and from this jumped to the stair
way, throwing a line back to the boat.

Fisher was unable 10 squeeze through

on guard outside, armed with the gaff
20 meet the monster should he attempt
10 escape. The water was then about
five feet deep. A jerk Of the line
brought the tarpon to the surface, and
finding himself cOrnered, his fury
became terrific. The stairway was
snapped into splinters, while kindling
wood was made Of the organ and other
furniture. The splashing of the water
and the destruction being wrought
sounded as IL a hurricane was raging
inside the house. In vain did the men
in the attic attempt 30 use their gah,
and for nearly an hour the battle
ragged furiOusly without a moments
cessation.
