Guard Against Cotton AntErac.
nose

: North Carolina reader says:
How long will the disease of
cotton, called anthracnose, Or
Dol! rot, remain in the soil!
Can ! safely plant land adjoin-
ing that on which the cotton
was diseased last year, or will it
be necessary to leave a strip OF
land between where the diseased
cotton grew last year and
where plant this year:
Another reader asks if he can
treat cotton seed with anything
to prevent the recurrence OF the
disease this year.
Authracnose does not appear
to be a disease of the soil but is
carried in the seed, and land
where the cotton was diseased
last year may be again planted
to cotton this year without
danger of the disease, if seed
free from the disease are used.
No method of treating infect
ed seed has yet been found ef
fected. The only safety lies in
planting seed from cotton that
was free from the disease last
year. Some varieties appear
more resistant to the disease
than others, or at least, some
varieties seem to suffer more
than others.
IF a man has a variety which
is diseased, that he wishes to
keep because Of its other good
qualities, he can probably OBJ
tain a resistant strain, or at
least one fairly free from the
disease, by carefully selecting
seed for planting for several
years from plants that show
absolutely no trace of the dis
ease.-Tait Butler in Progress

When the war tocsin sound
ed in 1861, there was a strong
healthy lad just p years old,
who lived at Piercetown, in
Anderson county, who gladly
left his home and joined the
army. He entered Evans bri-
gade under General Lee. His
first first move was to organize a
regiment at camp Hampton,
four miles below Columbia.
They Immediately moved on tc
James Island. Stopping there
for a brief period, longing fol
the taste of battle. They went
on to Richmond where that
taste was soon gratified. The
first battle that he was in, was
at Frazer's farm near Rich.
mond. He was a little nervous
in this battle, but soon grew &C
customed to fighting. These
were the days when our men
were nearly always victorious.
After this he was in battles up
on battles. One of the hardest
was that of Manassas, there
was an awful conflict, lasting
nearly all of one hot day. The
YANKEES were driven back into
Washington, and there was re
iocing in the south. The Fed
eral army reached Malvern Hill.
twelve miles below Richmond
on the lst day of July. Then
position was protected by Fed
eral gunboats on the river.
Early ON the morning of July
1st. the whole Confederate army
rushed forward to the assault
All day long the furious strug
gle continued, but not decisive.
For seven long, hot days the
battle went on, and at last the
victory was claimed by the
Yankees. No such dreadful.
scene had been enacted on the
American continent. The bat
tie ended the great campaign of
'62. The Federals had lost nun.
bers of their men, and the Con,
federates still held Richmond.
Our hero had been with
Jackson, who marched through
Pennsylvania then on back to
Virginia. He was sent to
guard the trenthes near Peters
burg. These trenches We're dug
on a hillside and We're about
ten feet deep. With others he
staid on guard eight months
and was at one Of the port holes
when the awful "blow-up' hap
pened. He was crushed by the
earth and his body badly bruis-
ed. For a long month dead
bodies of men were dug out of
he trenches. The Yankees
1ad 8 regiments Of drunken
1egros in their front when they
made the charge.
Capt. Ben Martin came to

Next week we will publish a
letter written in 1861 by Jasper
N. Hawthorne to his sister, in
this county. He was in the
Confederate army when this
letter was written, The Con-

named in honor of Mr., Haw-
thorne, and this letter will be

negroes, many Irishmen and
other hirelings. There were
300 men on guard and after

After six weeks in the hospits
al, Mr.. Dorr went back to join
his old regiment at Petersburg
After this he was sent to Sulli-
vans Island to guard Fort
Sumter, where he staid until
the last cannon fell from the
parapet. Then he went on to
Jacksonville where he formed
a line of battle and went right
after the Yankees, making be-
lieve they We're a great army,
and captured them and sent
them to prison. Then they
went back to Charleston. Dur
ing those four years he was in
nine states, from Mississippi to
Pennsylvania. Young and full
of life he did not fear the Yam
KEGS or ever think they would
defeat our braye soldiers. Once
he was sent to Big Black river in
Miss, where they found the
enemy so strong they knew
they would be captured, so
turning, they retraced their
steps, marching forty miles in
one day. This was the hardest
days marching they had ever
done. Think of walking forty
miles in August and never stop
ging, no dinner and rarely a
drink of water. Some of the
men drank out of horse tracks
when they passed low places in
the road, but were not allowed
time to pause. When night
came on they were so worn out
and tired they did not mind the
rain for sleeping, but quietly
pulled their caps over their faces
and slept a dreamless sleep.
There were some who took a
chunk of wood for a pillow.
This was one of the hardest
marches our hero had known.
They marched on by Mobile to
Charleston, fighting where
ever they met the enemy. At
last they went back to Virginia.
Our hero was a young man
with a young mans dreams
and hopes, and it was only
three months before the surren-,
der that he gave up. He was
with Lee at the surrender and
had not been home once during
the four wears. His form is
now growing very feeble and
the frosts of seventy winters
are whitening his head. His
home has been In PiCkens
county for forty-six years, he
having married the eldest
daughter Of the late Rev. w. B.
Singleton. This aged pair live

but hopes that there will never
be another so cruel and so
bloody.

THE reason why Europe cuts SO

extraordinarily backward in telephon-
ic development. France, Austria. Hun

telephones than in the city of Chi
cago.

tants. such as Peoria. St Joseph. Day

ropeans have ever heard of; while
Vienna. with population of nearly q
100000 has not SO many stations as

ELECTRIC PLANTS ON COAST
Huge Generating and Transmission
System TO Be Undertaken In

A most ambitious electric general
ing and transmission system is soon
to be undertaken. on the Pacific coast
OF Mexico. Three large hydro-elec-
tric plants are to be built, having a
combined capacity OF 0o.00o-horse
power. and according to present plans
1900 miles of transmission lines will
be built, covering most OF the Pacific
coast OF Mexico. or a territory about
seven hundred miles long. One of
these plants will be situated on the
Mayo river, across which a dam 40
feet high and 26o feet long will be
built This will form a reservoir
with capacity OF 10000. 900. 900 cubic
feet of water. Another dam. 223 feet
high and 70s feet long. will be run
across the Humaya river. forming a
reservoir OF 1900. 900, 900 cubic feet.
while the third dam, S15 feet high and
