PLOUGHED WITH DYNAMITE.
Experiment of Spartanburg Farmer
Attracting Attention.

Spartanburg, S. c.. Aug 25.-
J. Henry Caldwell, the only far
mer in the country who ploughs his
fields by using dynamite, has che
best corn in Spartanburg county.
And this corn crop was grown on
the land that was ploughed by plac-
ing charges of dynamite five or six
feet apart and discharging them.
The earth was literally blown TO
pieces and it was not necessary to
do any further ploughing prepara-
tory to planting the corn. There
are fifty rows of corn planted in
the field that was ploughed by dy-
Mantle and it is as pretty corn as
the Oldest inhabitant ever saw.
The corn has just begun to ma
ture at present and the estimates
of the yield have been made By ex-
perts, all of whom say that Mr
Caldwell has the best corn in the
county and will carry off the val.
liable prizes offered by several uus-
mess institutions in this city for
the best crop.
Mr.. Caldweli's own estimate OF
mis- yield is as follows: There is

There are number of beasts speci-

not only by the geological gardens of
the world. bur by the professional me

be mentioned the Kadiak bear. an eX-

South America contains a prize in

There are two rare birds in the ANA

ever been brought away-the bell

are derived from the effects produced
by the cries Of the birds. the former
having a voice likened to that of sill

eerie accompaniment of grooming in
such manner as to produce goose

/ hears its song.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR Elk.
HiBlTORS.

The Appalachian Exposition, tc
be held at Knoxville, Tenn, Sept
IL to Oct. 10, inaugurates a new
era in the history of this sec
ton of the South, and furnishes
an opportunity for the business men
of this section to reap the vast fruits
of this great business enterprise. that
in the near future are destined to de-
velop the richness of the mineral and
agricultural wealth of the soil and eli
mate of this great section. Merchants
from all parts of the country are alive
to the great advantage to be derived
from an exhibit at the Exposition, and

Value of This Great
Appalachian Exposition
Will Stimulate Trade. Harmonic
Opinions, Bring New Wealth,
Industries, vigor and New
Ideas.

The Appalachian Exposition, an
nounced for Knoxville, Tenn, Sept
IL to Oct. ~, next, more than
all others that have been held,
will bring III contact, and for mutual
benefit. the different grades and class
es of humanity. There will meet the
statesman. the soldier. the political
economist. the law maker and the ad.
minister OF the law, the poor white
and the freedman. the inventor and
the one who constructs the invention.
the protector who conceives and tho
capitalist who vitaliZes. the shopkeep-
err and the customer, the artisan, the
manufacturer and the artist will all
meet there on one common plane.
The first idea that occurs in con-
nection with this great Exposition is
the valuable thought of the tendency
to stimulate trade: that it encourages
local traffic is unreasonable; it will
be of widespread Importance to trans
portation routes; it will be a potent
factor in Withdrawing money from de-
positaries and placing it in free cir
culation.
From a social standpoint this Expo
sitiOn will act in the harmOnizing OF
opinions; it will circulate intelligence
and awaken a search for knowledge
and information; it will bring to the
/ Appalachian territory new wealth. new
industries. new vigor and new ideas;
/ It will open up the wealth that is hid
den in the bowels of the earth. and
will lay open to capitalists investments
for their surplus wealth. and will at
tract home-comers and home-seekers
to q great and undeveloped agricul
tural section, unequaled in wealth
and climate.
