Cotton i'm Warehouses.

The farmers Of Oran2eburg county
are beginning to realize the impor-
tance Of holding their cotton Tor
higher prices and the warehouses Oh
this city and county are filing with
the fleecy staple. A number OF farm
ers have sold enough cotton to meet
most of their obligations or to pay
enough on them to tide them over
for some months. The farmers are
determined not to sacrifice their cot
ton at present prices if they can pos
sibly help themselves, and desperate
efforts are now being made along
these lines.

NEGRO KILLED AT FERGUSON.
Not Knowing the Danger He Step
ped on the Third Rail.

A negro was electrocuted and In
stantly killed at the Santee Cypress
Lumber Company's mill at Fergu-
son one day last week. The negro
was a new hand at the mill, and not
knowing the danger, stepped on the
third rail which carries the electric
current that moves the cars Oh the
tramway in the lumber yards Of the
big plant and was instantly killed
by the passage of nearly eight thou
sand volts through his body. The
poor fellow was cut down so quick
that he did not know what hit him.
The Journal says M. G. E. Nc
Honacker, manager of the plant,
whose home is in Branchville, saw
the negro killed. The tram cars are
operated by side rail placed along
the track. An iron shoe connects
with the rail supplying current to the
motor cars. The third rail is high
power carrying $500 volts, alterna--
ting current. The exposed rail is
very dangerous, but all employees
are warned to keep clear of 1t and
they soon become accustomed to a
voiding it. The negro killed was
green hand who had just begun
work.
At one point over the tramway
there is a drawbridge connecting
two of the mills and when the cars
are to pass beneath the bridge is
raised. The strange negro had rails
ed the bridge and when he attempt
ed to lower it into place the draw
bridge machinery locked and he
stepped upon the third rail to adjust
the chain. He fell in his tracks i'm
mediately and was dead in few mo-
ment.

night during the fair and offer prizes
for the best floats. The suggestion
was adopted and Mr.. Sol kohn pledg-
ed on behalf of the fair association
SIS for prizes. The Chamber Of

with SIS, making total Of $40 to

THE FLOWER GARDEN.
Plans For an Artistic Arrangement of
Beds and Flowers.

Plans For an Artistic Arrangement Of
Beds and Flowers.
II Is just as important for the woman
who would beautify her home to con-
slider where to plant as what to plant.
Never plant flowers In round bed.
Plant in long beds in front of shrub
berry where the flowers will have a
background of green foliage. Plant
the tall flowers at the back, especially
those with brilliant colors, like cannas,
hollyhocks and the like. Instead of q
big Gamma bed in the center Of the lawn
string the cannas out two or three
plants deep in front Of tall shrubbery,
preferably back in the yard. Plant
smaller and more delicate flowers near
the front and put some sweet scented
varieties near the porch and the win
dows of the living room.
Little triangular beds in the sharp
corners of the walks are good unless
you already have roses planted there.
Above all. watch the color scheme and
do not put clashing colors together.
DO not plant flowers at all unless
you are prepared to take care of them.
Starved. sick. discontinued flowers cry
our for help to every passerby. If you
will consider carefully the questions of
suitable soil and proper fertilizer and
choose varieties which fit your loca-
ton you can have a flower garden
which will richly repay every hours
attention that you give to it.
