STOCKING UP WITH PLANT

Buy Your Fertilizer Intelligently.

In buying commercial fertilizer do
not be guided wholly by chemical
analysis of the crop to be fertili2ed.
Soils differ widely and my be deep or
shallow, sandy or loamy, containing
liberal supplies Of plant food which
could be brought into use 10y deep

perhaps markedly lacking la plant

something OF the character of your
soil. and you may usually count on
sandy and gravelly soils being poor In

usually rich In potash and poor In lime
and phosphoric acid, limestone soils
rich in that element and phosphoric

NEW LIFE FOR THE OLD SOIL
Green Manures Work Wonders.
w. a. STEVENSON.

Any crops grown aud plowed under
green to increase the productive ca.
pacity OF the soil are called green ma.
nure crops Sometimes such crops oc-
cupy the land for only "a part Of the
season. They are then known as
cover crops or catch crops.
Green manuring Is un important
practice. chiefly because It adds organic
matter 10 the soil. which is gradually
converted into humus, un absolutely
essential constituent of the soil. OF
course humus may be secured by ap-
plying barnyard manure. but as rule
there Is not enough of this material to
meet the needs of the land. However,
green manuring is not enough In itself
to keep soil from wearing out, so
other practices must be followed. Crops
must be grown in rotation, the mois-
ture content of the soil regulated, prop
er tillagc practiced, the soil kept sweet,
the supply of mineral plant food main
tained, especially the supply Of phos-
phorus and potassium, and the nitro
gen content Of the soil kept up. These
factors all play an important part in
keeping a soil productive, but they
are not more important than green
manuring
Poor Soils Especially Benefited.
In general green manures are bene-
fetal when used on poor soils because
of their action on the physical chemi.
cal and meteorological conditions of
the soil From the physical side green
manures influence the moisture, tenn
perature and aeration Of soils For eX
ample, on light, sandy soils they pre-
vent rapid drying out by reducing the
losses of moisture due to evaporation
and percolation, and further make the
soil more compact While they have
just the opposite effect on heavy clay
soils, here the organic matter opens NJ
the soil and admits air
The practice Of leaving the soil bare
during July and August following th'
harvest OF a small grain crop is very
bad, as it causes the loss Of large
amounts of nitrogen by percOlatlOn
These losses may be prevented in {
large measure by growing green ma
nure crops on the land, especially Il
this true Of leguminous crops, whicl
stimulate greater bacterial action, ant
as result larger amounts of available
plant food are produced. Rye, wheat
buckwheat and rape are the nonlegu
minous crops which are commonl.
used for green manuring, while re'
clover, mammoth clover sweet clover
crimson clover, Canada field peas. COW
peas, soy beans and vetches are th
best known legumes for this purpose
The secret of keeping our garden
and fields fertile is to plow deep, an
II necessary subsoil cultivate thoi
oughly and plant leguminous crops.

WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH.
Body Discovered Lying on Floor by
Neighbor Who Happened to Call.

Lancaster, January 21.--Mrs.
Robert Threath, of the Lancaster
Cotton Mill village, was burned to
death to-day. Her clothes caught, it
is presumed, while she was making
fire in her range preparatory to cook
ing dinner. She was by herself in
the house, the other members of the
family being at work in the mill. A
neighbor happening to call by about
11.30 o'clock to see Mrs. Threath
was startled upon opening the door,
when there had been no response to
her repeated knocking, to find the
house full of smoke and to detect
a peculiar odor as of burnt flesh.
Calling a man nearby the two enter
ed the house together, and going
into the kitchen found Mrs. Threath
lying dead upon the floor about a
foot from the stove. Her whole
body, except her feet, was so badly
burned as to make Identification al
most impossible. Every particle of
her clothing except her shoes and
stockings was burned.
Besides her husband Mrs. Threatn
is survived by three children, two
sons and a daughter.

PISTOLS TO BE RETURNED.
Government Will Restore Them to
Confederate Chieftain's Family.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Secretary
Garrison to-day directed the return
to the heirs of Jefferson Davis, of
two duelling pistols, a double-barrell-
ed pistol and appurtenances seized
by Union troops near the close of the
Civil War. Mr. Garrison took this
action upon receipt of an opinion
from Attorney General McReynolds
that the president of the Confederate
States had never been legally depriv-
ed of his ownership of the property
and that all his rights in it had been
restored to him by President John
sons amnesty proclamation.
The pistols which have been in
the custody of the war department
for nearly so years will be turned
over to Joseph A. Hayes, of Colora-
do, whose wife is Jefferson Davis
oldest daughter. The shawl and
raglan belonging to Mrs. Davis and
said to have been worn by Davis
when he was captured, were not in
cluded among the articles for which
Mr.. Hayes asked but it is presumed
they will be relinquished if the Davis
heirs request them.
In his opinion to Secretary Gar
rison, Attorney General McReynolds
said:
1T may be said that none of the
decisions discusses state of facts
precisely similar to the present case,
but the principle to be derived from
them is sufficient, namely, where
property of a disloyal person was
seized by the military forces of the
government during the Civil War,
and no such proceedings by way OF
forfeiture, concerning it as would
suffice to divest his title or any por-
ton of it and transfer it to third
persons or to the United States, then
and in that event subsequent par
don restores to him his plenary title
and right of possession. Such is the
present case AS stated at the out
set, no condemnation proceedings
were had under the confiscation act,
nor were the articles taken in charge
by the treasury officials and sold as
required by the abandoned property
act. On the contrary, it appears that
in 1874 certain of the articles seized
not differing for present purposes
from those now in question-were
returned to Mr.. Davis and in 1880
others. The failure to return the pls-
tolls, etc., seems to have been due
merely to oversight"

Hope is Extended to Erring Girl.

Spartanburg, Jan. 22.-One of the
saddest cases to come to the notice
of the public is the case OF Nora
Hawkins, white girl, II years of
age, who is at present confined in
the county Jail.
This is case of an unfortunate
girl, whose mother died and left her
three-year-old baby, to be cared
for by a shiftless father. She, being
ignorant and easily persuaded, fell
into the hands of bad companions
older than herself and was induced
to take up life of immortality.
This girl has been one of the hard
est cases to come before the local.
courts, and has been the source OF
great annoyance until now it is be-
Heved that she has realized her de-
pravity and is ready to live a
straight life.
It is very probable that she Will
be released on Thursday, when she
will be married to young man who
mas known her since she was a small
child and has loved her devotedly
for several years, and who says he
still has faith in her and earnestly
insists that they be allowed to marry
Immediately after her release.

HURT IN EXPLOSION.
Accident May Result in Loss OF Two
Lives.

Greenville, Jan. PA premature
explosion of dynamite charge in
the Carolina Rock Company's quarry
at Williamson this morning resulted
in Jim Williams, negro workman,
being fatally injured and another
workman, Waldo Roberts,, sustaining
injuries that may result in his death.
1t seems the Williams negro was
loading the charge when the explo-
sion occurred. 1t is said the negro
packed the dynamite in the hole with
an iron rod instead of using the
wooden apparatus kept on hand for
this purpose.
Williamson is about Is miles from
Greenville.
Much excitement was caused
among the residents of the village
many wild rumors being afloat fol-
lowing the explosion.

TO FIGHT NEGRO JUDGE.
Will Oppose Presidents Appoint
ment of a Colored Man to Office.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Much ado
is being made in Washington and
perhaps elsewhere over the reported
intention of President Wilson to re-
appoint a negro Judge of the mu-
nicipal court in Washington. Sen
ator Vardaman has declared that he
will fight the negro's confirmation
in the senate, and there has been
other criticism of the presidents in
tended action.
There, is however, some misappre-
hension as to the position in ques
ton. The job is simply that of trial
justice, or magistrate, and it is by no
means as important as it's usual title,
Judge of the municipal court,
would indicate. The negro in ques.
ton is a lawyer of considerable
ability.
Of course there is a difference be-
tween appointing such man to such
pldCS Ill w aho St'AAS
a job of the same sort to negro in
the south. There are thousands of
northern people in Washington who
do not object to such things, and
they are not kicking. And besides,
the better class of people are not af-
fected by it, since it is position in
which public contact with the ne
gro is confined to very small per-
centage of the people of the district.
1t is entirely different from such a
position as postmaster or collector.
AS matter of fact, there are hum
dreds of people, and probably thou
sands, in Washington who had not
noted the fact that a negro held one
of the judgeships, until the question
of reappointment came up for the
presidents consideration.
