Atlanta, June 21.--The r.. o.
Beach case has put the lid on in
Aiken, and the famous wintering

TIM FOR
SIDE DRESSING

This is the time to side-dress your
cotton. Ginners will tell you that
thirteen hundred pounds of seed cot
ton that has been side-dressed will
turn off as heavy a bale Of cotton as
fifteen hundred pounds of seed cot
ton that has not been side-dressed
Two hundred pounds Of 4-1O-2 ap-
piled to an acre of cotton as a side
dresser will increase the yield at least
three hundred pounds OF seed cotton
to the acre. This three hundred
pounds Of seed cotton, the way you
farmers have improved your cotton,
will turn off about one hundred and
twenty-five pounds of lint. This one
hundred and twenty-five pounds of
lint at twelve cents pound will
bring you $15-at ten cents pound
it will bring you $12.50, and the two
hundred pounds of 4-10-2 will cost
you $4.20, and two hundred pounds
of 4-7-2 will cost you $40. The
difference In these figures represents
the extra profits which you will make
on an acre Of cotton by side-dressing.
Besides the satisfaction of having a
fine cotton crop, it helps mans
feelings, and helps his standing in
the community, and helps his credit
to have a fine cotton crop. The time
has passed in this country when a
man can maintain his respectability
and raise "bumble bee cotton"
The fertilizer you use in side
dressing pays YOU better than any
fertilizer you use. 1t prevents the
cotton's shedding. The reason cotton
sheds is because 1t has not sufficient
plant food. There is only small
fraction Of an ounce Of plant food
gets to each cotton plant when you
fertiliZe in the spring, and of this
the rains wash away some, the grass
gets some, and there is a very little

left for the cotton plant.
Now, when your cotton plant be-
gins to fruit, there Is an added strain
on the plant. and just at the time
the strain is greatest on the cot
ton plant the supply Of the plant food
has diminished and is growing less.
The result Is the cotton sheds it's
fruit. People who do not side-dress
their cotton lose from one-fourth TO
one-third of their crop every year by
shedding.
The farmers Of Anderson county
side-dressed more last year than they
ever did. You do not put enough
corn and fodder in your stalls for
your mules on Monday morning to
last until Saturday night, and you
would not think Of putting enough
corn and fodder in your stalls for
your mules in April to last until No
vember, but :. ct that is what you are
doing with cotton. You are trying
to give it enough plant food in April
to last until November. This plan
VIII work in making cotton, after
fashion, but you will not get the
crops and you will not get The clear
money that you will get If you side
dress If you put your stock under
heavy strain you increase their
feed. Now, when your cotton is un-
der an increased strain by reason Of
its fruiting it will pay you handsome
ly to give 1t additional plant food.
DO not confuse this sidc-dresser Of
ours with other side-dressing fertili-
zer where the ammonia is derived
sOhely from nitrate Of soda. This
sfdc-drcSser of ours has soda to net
quickly and blood, tankase, cotton
seed meal and fish to carry on the
work which the soda commences, and
is infinitely better for the crop.
Apply as early as you possibly can.

Six months ago Harris went to the
Medico-Chirurgical Hospital. 1t was
arranged that when patient came
to the hospital with an eye so badly
injured that 1t had to be removed
Harris would be summoned. On May
81 patient arrived. His eye had
been punctured. Before it was taken
out Harris was summoned and was
placed OH the operating table near
the man whose eye had to be re-
moved. The eye was taken from the
injured man and the eyeball was
stripped Of the tissues and these
were placed over the sightless pupils
of Harris. The eye on which the eX-
pertinent was tried was bandaged up
and he was kept in a dark room for
eight days. On the ninth day the
bandage was removed and Harris
could see little from the eye ope-
rated upon.
Harris is still at the hospital,
awaiting the arrival of another pa
tient who must lose an eye. When
this patient arrives an operation upon
the second will be performed, and
the doctors think Harris will then be
able to see about as well as he ever

Editor Martin Was There,
{ Easley Progress. }

We have noticed articles in several
papers recently stating that Governor
Bleasc was snubbed by the young
ladies OF tho recent graduating class
at Winthrop College when he deliv-
cred their diplomas. We do not
know from what source this infOrma-
tion came, but We are prepared to
most emp hatically deny the state
mcnt. We were present on this oc-
casiOn and paid particular attention
to the proceedings. Governor Blease
was not only treated courteOusly, but
was actually applaudcd when in q
few remarks he made some compli-
mentary rema rks about the work Of
the college. 1T took quite a while
for him to hand out the 1873 diplo-
mas and certificates, and it was hur-
riedly done, but there was nothing
said or done by any OF the young
ladies that could possibly have been
construed as unlady-like conduct.

B1ease's pardon record The Cover
nor, he said, had abused the pardon
power by granting $40 pardons and
paroles without referring any of
them to the pardon board; that he
had pardoncd Wash Hunter, his own
client, and let down generally the
bars to lawlessness.
The Judge, as at Sumter, was sew
eral times Interrupted by cries Of
'Ilurrah for Blease!"
~ do love to hear just two men
.hollcr for Blease," said he in reply, a
sally that brought forth round of
applause.
Governor Blease again read his
speech from manuscript. He said that
Judge Jones, as a member of the Leg
iSlaturc, had been for prohibition,
then against the dispensary, then for
it, and had now become a local op-
zionist since he got in the race for
Governor; that he had voted for
divorce law in South Carolina, for
free railroad passes, against law
for shorter hours in factories, against
law to reduce the legal rate of in
terest, against law for separate
coaches for whites and negroes; and
that while Jones was on the bench
his decisions had been in favor of
corporations, and that he had son
who was railroad attorney, but re-
signed when his father resigned from
the bench.
Did the railroads." inquired the
Governor, have no further use for
the son when his father was off the
bcnch?"

Judge Jones Denies Charges.
Darlington, June 2O--Judge Jones
speech to-day was Il strong and clear
denial OF charges made by Governor
BlcaSc yesterday. He called on vot-
ers not TO put man in the Cover
nor'S chair who had been charged
with graft and he called for cleo
ton o; honest men to Office.
Jones denied. charges that he had
voted in the House for prohibition
by saying that he had been sent to
the Legislature from Lancaster in
Structcd by nature Of his election, to
vote for prohibition, and could not
honestly vote otherwise. He explain
ed the charge tha' he had voted
against separate Goa, hes for negroes
and whites by saying at the time 1t
was unconstitutional. Tho new con-
stitution was adopted later. He ex-
planned his vote on the divorce ques-
ton, saying that he favored once and
forever divorce in case OF adultery.
AS to the charge that ne had been
with corporations on the Supreme
Bench he said in three cases cited
yesterday by the Governor that in one
the Governor was affected and in the
other he had decided against n
friend. Judge Jones assailcd the
Governors vote on the dispensary in
vestigation act; his employment Of
Green as factory inspector, and his
veto Of the medical inspection and
other bills.
