In the Sumter court OF general ses-
sions yesterday the lawyers had a field
day for techuicalities. Judge Gage
granted motion for new trial 10 the
v-se of Joe Hogan. convicted on thirty
six counts for selling and storing liquor,
on the ground the witnesses had not
signed the testimony taken in the city
court. Several other grounds were ar
gued but the Judge dismissed all of
them except the one alleging the Wit
nesses had not signed the testimony.
Then in the case of T. B. .Carghman,
charged with the killing of Constable
Bateman, a motion was made to quash
the indictment on the ground that some
of the members OF the registration board
are not residents OF the county, and one
of the members of the board was not
confirmed by the senate. The Judge re-
fused TO order the Indictment quaShed

that the bear is one of the family he'll

FINDS HORNET IS "GENTLE"
English Mayor Tells Of Discovering
Cottage Where They Are Kept
In Hives Like Bees.

London.-Wasps occasionally have
been heard of as pets, but it has been
reserved for Major Hurlstone Hardy
to discover that the hornet is "a gen.
tie, inoffensive creature very suitable
for a pet" Writing in knowledge, he
states that, when walking down CHS.
wick lane many years ago, he discov.
cred hornets busy around four straw
hives in the front garden of q cot
tage.
Il entered" he says, "and asked the
proprietor to let me observe them. I
found that he kept the hornets for
pets and that he had no bees. He
lifted up a hive and let me observe the
queen at work. lie said that he felt
no danger whatever"
Major Hardy adds that he personal
ly has mo fear whatever of these in
nocent and useful creatures, who seem
quite willing to share III dwellings
with us If encouraged to do So"
1t may be recalled that Mr.. Bates in
his account Of his experience on the
Amazon states that at first he killed
hornets which flew near his face. But
having observed them closely and not.
ed that they killed singing flies,
bouncing upon them as the flies at
tempted to bit him, he let them alone,
and was rather glad Of their company.
1t is suggested that the time may
come when every well-regulated
household will keep its hornet to deal
with flies, as it now keeps it's big
dog to guard against burglars.

Many times | have been asked how
to make the Crab cactus bloom. II
this is identical with, or closely allied
to, the Humming Bird cactus, a rich
soil composed of loan with a little
sand 10 sood for the plant.
See that the drainage is good. Dur
ing the warm weather treat it like
the %geraniums, watering almost as
much and feeding it once a month with
weak liquid manure or other plant
food. The buds should form in the
autumn, and from Thanksgiving to
Christmas the normal plant is covered
with blossoms.
The rest period differs with the vari-
Gus species, but it can be easily deter
mined with a little observation. The
spiny varieties almost uniformly like
a sandy soil.
Let it rest during the winter, water
ing it just sufficient to keep 1t from
drying. A cellar is, as a rule, too
damp for wintering it. Preferably let
it remain in the living room.
Those who like a %profusion Of bloom
will find it hard to clip or pinch back
all the lateral branches on the chrys-
anthemum, yet this is just what the
professional grower does to produce
the mammoth show blossoms.
There are myths and notions preva-

ton, when conditions are just suited
to their growth their flowers are pro-
duced much sooner
While it is true that there is a check
when potted, still, the great thrifty
foliage is compensation for temporary
halt in growth, and really, you will
have larger, stronger and more robust
plants from the same slips by the out
door method.
Now is a good time to stick some
slips into the ground for winter bloom

when started in pots.

SERIOUS MISTAKE

Adapted to Locality.
(By r. G.. wEATHERsToNE.)

(By r. c. WEATHERSTONE.)
We make a serious mistake when
we buy seed corn that has been grown
in some distant locality and plant 1t
for our general field crop. 1t is better
to grow a new variety for two or three
years in our seed plot and tested out
and get it acclimated before we plant
it extensively as a field crop.
1t is we'll known that the corr crop

we who live outside Of the great corn
belt must devote more or less study
and attention to the selection of va
rieties that are best adapted to our
climate and soil If we make the crop
profitable on our farms.
have always obtained more salts
factory crops of corn by selecting my
seed corn from some variety that has
grown in my own locality for years.
A variety that has been grown in a
locality for a few years is already &C.
climated and by intelligent seed selec-
ton it can be bred into a more pro-
life character that will reach maturity
in the climate where 1t has been per-
fected.
Changing seed corn is not a good
practice. So far as changing is con
cerned it may be necessary for us to
change in order to get better founda-
ton stock, but when the stock is once
obtained we should stay by 1t and try
and improve it.
