Let every contestant do her best
this week to win the $500 in gold.
You just have until Saturday night,
March l1th, to work for this offer.
Now for another one. We will
give 5000 free votes for every ten
dollars worth of subscriptions sent
in by any contestant from March
the 7th to March 18th. All sub
scriptions dated between the 7th
and 18th will count on the free
votes, the $500 in gold and the
handsome prizes to be given at the

Why You Should Work in the Home
Contest.
You should work in The Adver-
tiser's great contest for number of
reasons. One reason is on account
of the fine last of prizes offered.
With this list of prizes every con-
testant who really works will be re-
warded. Then we would call your
attention to the fact that it is a home
enterprise and that it is gotten up by
Mr.. Minis on his own accord and
because he has faith in his paper
and the county's support of it.
Edgefeld's Best Paper has the Grit to do
Things.
We are sure that every person in
Edgefeld county appreciates the
fact that The Advertiser has the
grit to do things on its own accord
and that Mr.. Minis is willing to go
down in his own pocket in order to
offer these opportunities to any who
may enter the contest.

you have the power to make good

Others will say they see no money
in either mode. And truly, by the
way some of us manage, it is mat
ter of congratulation that we live at
all.
But let us see if there is not even
more than living on small farm.
Take an ordinary .4-horse farm, and
reduce it to 2 horses aand hands;
let one half of it rest. | think ten
acres of land with years rest will
make bale of cotton more the year
following; or else sow it down. You
can SOW this land, reap and house
your produce at 81 dollars per acre.
Or you can do this work in spare
time, with your 2-horse farm labor.
You can raise from 1C to 20 bushels
of oats per acre on this land; you
can feed your two horses off of it,
and buy neither corn nor manure.
Hire only good, efficient laborers;
do not take the refuse of the jails
and orphan asylums. If you rent
out any land, rent only to good ten
ants, and see that they change the
land and not wear it out. Turn off
promptly all bad men. Take 40
acres, say, to cultivate, and sow
down 40 acres every year. Follow
this plan. Give your 40 acres in
cotton liberal manuring, and by
sowing it in grain after cotton, you
have good stubble and oats to
feed on, besides some to sell. 1t is

IRISH POTATO PLAN TING.
Select a Loose, Rich, Mellow,
Well Drained Soil. Fertilize
Literally. How to Avoid
Scab.

Potato planti' e time is drawing
near. This is evidenced by the in
quiry just at hand, which asks some
practical questions relative to this
crop. This first thing of attention is
the soil. 1t is true that the potato
has been grown on almost every
soil, but this does not lessen the i'm
portance of selecting for the potato
the kind of soil best adapted for it.
The ideal soil for this crop should
be one so light as to offer no great
resistance to the growing of tubers,
and having such supply of organic
matter as to contain moisture to
furnish an unfailing supply of fer
tilizing ingredients. A rich, sandy
loan, abundantly supplied with or
ganic matter, and naturally we'll
drained, is preferable. Sitter soils
may be rendered suitable by drain
age and by the incorporation of
farm manures; or better still. by
plowing under green crops. Very
heavy clay should be avoided if the
farm contains any lighter soil. New
ly cleared ground suits the potato
exceedingly well. Sandy soils may
be fitted for this plant by the addi-
ton of organic matter. The claim
is made that potatoes grown on
sandy soil are Of superior quality
to those on a sitter soil.
The potato requires a rich soil,
but even more important than nat
ural fertility, is a proper mechanical
condition of the soil. Artificial fer
tilizers may be substituted in part
for natural fertilizers, but they are
effective only when the soil is In
such a condition as to furnish a
constant supply of water. The po-
tato should have some of the best
oil on the farm, since it is more ex-

JOHNSTON LETTER.
Death of Mr.. Samuel Lott and
Mrs. Manning Simmons.
MIR. M. T.Turner Loses
by Fire.

The past week has been one of
sadness to our town. Death has en-
tered into three homes and taken
away loved ones.
In the death of Mrs. Manning
Simmons, which occurred on Satur-
day morning about o'clock, a
great gloom has been cast. She had
been sick only about 8 days and her
condition did not appear alarming
until Friday. The physician an
nounced her case as developing into
typhoid pneumonia. Before her mar
riage to Mr.. Simmons about 16
years ago, she was Miss Birdie
Smyly, daughter of Mr.. Jackson
Smyly, and Elizabeth Tompkins
Smyly. All that knew her loved her
for her sweet and modest demeanor.
Self never came first with her, 1t
was always something for others,
and especially did this noble trait
manifest itself in the little home
circle. Her hands were ever willing
to do anything for them, no matter
what the task.
Her devotion to her sisters was
lovable to see, and inexpressibly sad
was the fact that one sister, Mrs.
Albert Dozier and her mother, Mrs.
Smyly, were too i'll to be told of
her death at the time. Besides her
husband, small children are left,
and one brother, Mr.. st. Clair Smy-
ly, and three sisters, Mesdames p.
N. Lott, Pickens Kinard and Al
bert Dozier.
The burial services were conduct
ed on Sunday afternoon at o'clock
by Rev. Beckham, assisted by DR.
Dorset.
Among relatives who came to at
tend the burial of Mrs. Manning
Simmons were Mrs. Ella Tompkins,
Miss Grace Tompkins, Mr.. J. l..
Minis, Miss Ina Hill, Mr.. and Mrs.

acting in this res pect AN the other
crops, and since the product of an
acre is of greater value, generally
speaking.
The success of the potato is large
ly dependent on the crops preceding
it in the rotation. When the clover,
COW peas, &. other leguminous crops
have been grown, the stubble of the
same furnishes good supply of nj
trogen. Perhaps the best rotation
is that obtained by growing corn
after sod and following with pota-
toes.
1t is not a good idea to grow over
two crops of potatoes in succession
on the same ground, although we
often find q plot of ground that has
been continuously used for potatoes
for FIVE or six years, or even longer.
This latter course taxes heavily the
fertility of the soil, and as neces-
sity calls for liberal manuring, and
also involves considerable risk
from fungus diseases.
A clean crop of potatoes can not,
as a rule, be grown on land that pro-
duced scabby potatoes the preceding
year. The germs having once OBJ
tained hold in the soil must be
starved out by growing thereon 9TH
er crops on which the scab has no
hold, such as grass or grain. These
immune crops should be grown for
three or four years befoi e planting
in potatoes again.
Practical experience has proven
that deep and thorough prepare
ton of the soil is important for this
crop. Flowing can scarcely be tc2
deep, unless the subsoil is brought to
the surface in SO doing. If practica-
BILE, the plowing should be deeper
from year to year. While Oh an av-
erage, the tubers are formed within
about 6 inches of the top of the
ground, the roots feed several in
ches deeper.
Regarding the manuring, will ad-
wise liberality in that line, as the

talk among American Catholics both here
