thing on small scale for private
use. Although it is rather late
now, still if one has plants that are
alive, though standing still in his
garden at this time, it might sur
prise himif he would take few of
them and put under glass, spaced
twelve or. fifteen inches, and well
watered, to see how quickly they
would develop.
Forcing lettuce under protection
of glass has few difficulties. The
plants after week or two of set
tling and roofing should have plen-
ty of moisture, and on warm days
plenty of air. If the sun strikes
them directly in warm weather, un-
less they are we'll aired, they may
perish quickly And on the other
hand too much moisture in close
confinement may cause them to
damp" off and rot. So also after
they are heading they should be
watered without wetting the leaves.
Again, the the gardener who has
no plants on hand now might SOW
seed for spring garden, and the seed
might come up in reasonable time.
But the probability is that they
would lie dormant for several weeks
yet, without any actual benefit by
the early planting. If on the other
hand he will take the trouble to SOW
the seed inoa box that can be kept
in a warm room in the house with
a southern exposure, and moved on
the outside on very warm days he
ought to have plants ready to set
out in the garden three or four
weeks earlier than he would other
wise. Very little hardening" would
be required, for lettuce, though
apparently very tender will atand
very cold weather, specially when
young.
Headed lettuce will suffer more
from a severe freeze, however. Two
years ago, in Florida, in January, ]
saw an acre of beautiful lettuce, and
early cabbage, black and rotting,
from severe freeze.
Soil Selection.
In selecting place to grow let
tuce always pick out a spot that has
enough sand in it to make the soil
mellow. Clay land that holds wat
er and freezes outward, or "spews
up" frost will not do. A rich, warm
sandy soil is best.
So much has been written already
about the commercial growing of
lettuce, around Charleston and
Beaufort, that we refrain from say
ing more. One of our farmers re-
Gently went to Beaufort to look
things over and returned to tell re-
markable stories of the fortunes be-
ing made out of lettuce, its posi-
bilities, etc. But he intimated that
the daring and enterprise and ener-
gy displayed there made him be-
lieve that the fortunate ones were
not native South Carolinians, but

Blew Out His Brains.

Word came over the phone
from Bellevue, Idaho, last Tues
day night that Ed. Thomas OF
that city had deliberately placed
a gun to his head and blew out
his brains.
No particulars here at this
time, but it is generally suppos-
ed that dissipation was the cause
of his suicide.
Along about 1900 Mr.. Thomas,
who was a barber, resided with
his family at Custer, where he
was we'll and favorably known
In 1902 he played baseball with
the Custer team in Challis. He
| has a wife and two children. His
wife was Miss Morris, of Custer.
Thomas was about 40 years of
age. He has resided in Bellevue
with his family for the past Z or
eight years, or in fact since the
closing down of the mill and
mines at Custer.

A little over a week ago there
was born to Mrs. MaraffiO son,
and the mother was apparently
getting along nicely, and all at
on this night, Feb. 18th, she was
taken suddenly and violently Ill
and died in ten minutes.
Seldom has it been our duty to
record so sudden a death. A
dark gloom spread over the en-
tire community when it was
known that she was dead.
She was Of an affectionate dis
position so that friendships cir

deed, it may be said of her, that
none knew her but to lover her.
Only little over a year ago
she was married to Mr.. MaraffiO.
whom she leaves with an infant
babe, to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Maraffio's death was SO
sudden. Seemingly with US to-
day, active in life's round OF
duty and love, but gone toner

life is ended, and we confidently
! trust that like one who awakes

| awakened to see life's endless
{ morning break and knows her
self at home with all the vast
throng of loved ones, missed
from earth, safe about her. Hel
affection for friends and kindred
was tender and abiding.
Mrs. Maraffio was born in Ital,
and came to this county about
years ago, where she has sine
