The Orangeburg Infirmary.

The Orangeburg Infirmary which
is under the management of Misses
Cook and Marshall, has been COM
pleted. Six patients have been ad-
'mitted, of which three, after a stay
Of several weeks, have recovered and
returned to their homes, much pleas
ed with the Institution. The others
are doing nicely. DR.. Knowlton of
Columbia, was the first physician to
perform an operation in the new in
firmary and Dr.. Lowman Of this city
the second. Both patients are doing

Speaking Of Advertising.

There is no business that cannot
be increased and benefited by ad-
vertising, says the Gaffney Ledger.
No class of advertising pays as well
as a we'll written newspaper ad.
There is no work you could do that
would bring you as great returns as
to use thirty minutes time each
day in the study Of advertising, If
you are in business. The great trou-
BILE with most advertisers in coun-
try town is that they write an ad.

PRIZE ACRE OF CORN.
On Which Two Hundred Bushels or
More will BE Made. ~ E

The Orangeburg correspondent. Of
The News, and Courier says through
the courtest Of Mr.. F. j.. D. Fielder,
county supervisor, he enjoyed a ride
| to the county poor farm and inspect
ed Mr.. Felder's prize acre Of corn.
mr.. Fielder has not entered the COM
petition for the corn prize, but has
patch Of the growing grain that
would no doubt carry OF the trophy
in great style. The seed planted was
obtained from Capt. J. M. Moss, the
advanced farmer of the Cameron sec
tion, and Mr.. Fielder acknowledges
his Indebtedness to Mr.. Moss for the
mode of preparing the land and the
planting and cultivatins of the crop,
which at this time gives promise Of
such abundant success.
| .As to- the soil preparation, the
ploughing was deep aud thorough.
The corn was planted by hand and
chopped out to stand Of eight inch
es. The rows are four. feet apart.
The corn Is perfectly green and in
dications now point to an average
of more than two ears to the stalk.
A little arithmetic wild show that
there will probably be gathered from
this acre more than 225 bushels Of
corn, and possibly as much as ESQ.
But, In order to allow for defects of
stand and size of ears, deduct 25
per cent from the result obtained
lin the calculation waB allowed 125
ears to the bushel) and there will
still remain more than 200 bushels.
MT. Fielder says the fertilizer costs
about $40 preparation and cultiva-
tion and gathering about $40, maxi
ing a total cost Of $50. He. expects
to gather about $500 pounds Of fod
der and peayines, or SIS worth,
which will leave the net cost s35.
Corn is worth all the year 80 cents
which shows handsome profit.
There on this farm thirty acres Of.
corn all told, which will probably
yield 1900 to 1000 bushels.
The farm is ssituated south Of the
city, just outside the corporate lin
Its. and is composed Ct what is re-,
garded as lowlands. The farm has
been pretty we'll .drained, however;
and the lands are among the best in
the county. The Times and Demo-
crat would suggest that Mr.. Fielder
gather this acre Of corn carefully
and see what it makes exactly and
then write out in detail exactly how
he managed to make euch crop. 1t
would help other fsrmers. The
Times and Democrat you'd be glad
to publish the detailed report.

been any foul play, but it is suppos.
ed that the boys are making theil
way to the southern part of Florida
where the Oldest son of Mr.. Ballard
lives. Nothing but spirit of ad'

to go, as they have good homes anl
