DYNAMlTING SOIL A. FAILURE.
Method Used by Caldwell Not Effec-
tive.~-Wrong. Principle.

The following in regard to dyna-
hitting the soil, which has been a
much discussed subject for some
time, from the pen Of Capt Charles
Petty, in the News and Courier, will
be Of interest as he has made a close
study Of the experiment of the Spar
tanburg county farmer
"The attempt to break land with
dynamite by J. II. Caldwell has at
tracted little attention and less at
home than abroad. He selected a
piece of land nearly level, broke it,
bedded 1t out deep and put in dyna-
mite charges about every eight feet
In the water burrows. We witnessed
the discharge Of some of the dyna-
mite. Our observation was that the
clay in these holes was broken about
20 to 81 inches deep. The breaking
did lot extend out two feet from the
place where the dynamite was explo-
ded
"The land which he dynamited was
q ShoiSS lol anu Will l9FllllZ9r 1uu1-
ciously applied would have made fine
corn or cotton without dynamite.
"If there is,any farmer in the State
who believes that dynamiting is a
cheap and effective way to break land
we suggest that he give 1t trial on
small scale before he invests S75 to
500 All acre. Take piece of land
with unbroken, clay subsoil. Do not
plough 1T at all. Sink holes with a
large crow bar six feet apart, and
two feet deep. Put in a full charge
or half stick Of dynamite, and touch
1T of. He might try two dozen holes.
He would then know what dynamite
was worth for breaking clay. He
could find that at least half the clay
was not shaken or cracked. Then
the expense would be such that no
farmer could stand 1t, for it would
require 1910 charges to one acre.
Even If he used only half a stick at
a charge he would find It very ex-
pensive.

Too Much johnson.
(Atalnta Constitution }

Here Is the lesson of A. A. Virgil,
negro pastor Of the Warren African
Methodist Episcopal church, in
Pittsburg, Pa, read to his flock from
the Reno disgrace. 1t ought to be
pondered and digested by every think
ing negro in America, for it sum
marizes the racial situation and
problem in compass that cannot be
abbreviated:
81 believe the members of my race
have gone far enough in their jubi-
liant spree over the victory at Reno.
TOO much Johnson has made us
mad. The negro is still mission
airy people and will be for many
years to come. Consider that it
took the white race two thousand
years to get where 1t Is, and It is
still fal from perfection. We
have harder battles to fight than
those OF the prize ring. Let the
sober, mental sides Of our natures
get a proper hearing. There has
been absolutely too much Johnson
on our lips and, perhaps, in our
hearts,"
Exactly.
The white race has not won its
battle OF the centuries through de-
votion to such spectacles as those
staged at Reno.
1t has gone forward in spite of
them, and has steadily made pro-
eress I'm their Punishment.
Similarly, the negro must hope to
gain headway through the cultiva-
ton OF the mental, moral and spir-
ltual, and not the jungle instincts.
1t required considerable candor
Tor this negro to state that his was
a missionary people and will be for
many years to come"
1t is, however, the unyarnishcd
truth.
Only as both races recognize II,
ana enforce its teachings, will the
nation settle the problem in which
1t Is interested without regard to
seciioh. We may be approaching the
day when the religious bodies Of
both races in all sections will CO.
operate in mutual effort AT som-
ton.

No More Shall Babies Ride.

New Orleans, August 13.-'The
bouncing of babies on the knees of
fond parents may be tabooed in view
of pathologic discoveries, according
to Dr.. S. w. Stofford, surgeon Of the
Charity Hospital at New Orleans.
This statement was made in con-
nection with reports that interior
poliomyelitis, a newly y-discovered in
rant malady, commonly known as
infantile paralysis, is causing many
deaths.
Several such cases "rt ow being
treated in local hospita.s. DR.. STAFF
ford said that an injury to the spinal
cord was most likely to result in
the ailment and that the "bouncing"
OF babies could very easily produce
such an injury.

VIRGINIA WARDLAW DEAD.
One of Three Sisters Charged With
Murtler-Self-Starv

Newark, y. j., Aug. 11--Miss Vir-
ginia Wardlaw, who, with her two
sisters, IS indicted for the murder of
Mrs. Ocey Wardlaw Martin Sneed,
died this afternoon in the house Of
detention here. Her death, 1t is said,
will materially affect the prosecu-
ton Of her two sisters.
General decline is given as the
cause Of death.
Miss Wardlaw was at one time a
resident Of Tennessee, and she has rel
atives in Georgia.
Miss Virginia Wardlaw was the
youngest Of the three aged sisters,
and is believed by her attorneys to
have deliberatly starved herself into
the condition which resulted fatally.
She was removed to the house Of de-
tention from the county prison a few
days ago, and was under the care of
two physicians and several nurses.
After her removal the officers found
much stale food in her cell.
Her self-infiicted starvation
brought on several sinking spells,
but, even after her removal from the
prison to the house of detention, she
made efforts to reject the nourish-
ment forced on her. Oxygen was
administered at intervals in the effort
to prevent fatal ending Of her acts.
Ocey Sneed's mother, Mrs. Martin,
and her aunt, Mrs. Sneed, who was
also her mother-in-law, are appar-
emily in good condition. They show
no concern over their sisters death.

Tcn Things to DO in August.

Progressive Farmer and Gazette. }
1. No matter If your crops have
been "laid by" don't fail to stir
lightly the upper crust OF earth if it
begins getting hard and dry.
2. Get ready to save every posi-
Bile pound Of hay. Sharpen up the
mower Cut peas when first pods
begin to turn
3. Cut the corn as it natures and
save all the feed. Pulling fodder is
not only expensive and wasteful, but
seriously decreases the yield of ear
corn.
4. Where crops are taken off the
land, begin preparations Cor the fal,
seedir,r DO not stii deeply, but
thoroughly pulverize the three in
ches on top Of the soil.
B. Clean up all weeds, briers,
bushes, etc, from ditch banks, fence
corners, around buildings and be-
tween cultivated fields. August is
the best month for killing bushes
and briers and arranging to merge
the piddling patches into broad and
generous fields next year.
6. Get the cattle out of the in
fected pastures and grease them
thoroughly to kill all ticks now on
them. Then put them in new pas
lures and start out next spring with
a tick-free farm and tick-free cattle.
Z. Prepare to have some winter
growing crop on every acre Of land
now in cotton or corn. Sow crimson
clover or vetch after the first picking
Of cotton, rye later.
s. Keep the hogs that you intend
to kill next fall growing with all
their might They should be in pas
ture now up to their eyes, but see
that they have plenty of pure water
and good shade to go to. Sow rape
and tuinIps for winte feeding.
O. Paint the farm home, paint or
whitewash other buildings, and make
all needed repairs.
10. Go to your farmers Institutes
or other farmers meetings, and ar
range to give your wife and children
a short vacation.
