FOUR BALES TO THE ACRE.
Rate Of Yield on One Lexington Cot
ton Patch.

John NJ. Caughman, of this town,
holds the record for growing cotton
in this county; and, it is believed,
that he holds the record for South
Carolina, if not Of the United States.
From three-eighths of an acre Mr..
Caughman has gathered, weighed up
and ginned SIS pounds Of lint cot
ton, an average of little more than
four bales to the acre. On patch
containing, by a surveyors figures,
one and three-eighths of an acre. Mr..
Caughman has gathered, weighed up
and ginned 1902 pounds Of lint cot
ton, every pound of which is of the
very best grade. The last picking
from the field, or patch, was ginned
on last Friday, and every bale is stor-
ed at the residence Of Mr.. Caughman
on upper Main street.
According to Mr.. Caughman's fig
ures, it cost him less than s25 to
grow this cotton, including fertilizer
and cultivation. Only SLIPS worth
of commercial fertilizer was used,
which also includes the price for nj
trate of soda, which was used as a
dressing during the growth and cul-
tivation of the crop. Six two-horse
loads of rough stable manure were
used; part being placed in the drill
and part broadcast over the ground
before the land was prepared. Mr..
Caughman prepared the land and did
most of the cultivating himself, al
though he has passed the 6O-year
milestone in life. The soil upon
which this cotton was grown is sandy,
and when Mr.. Caughman purchased
the land, nine years ago, it would
have taken four or five acres to make
a bale.-Lexington Dispatch.

SLEEP EIGHT HOURS.
Health and Success. Depend Upon
Abundant Sleep.

Doing without sleep is trying to
run a wagon on three wheels or a
bicycle on one, says Leslie's Weekly.
They don't go we'll. They were never
intended to run that way.
From the way some people act
about sleep you would think it was
mankind's greatest enemy. The less
they get Of it, the happier they are
(for a while,) and feel that they are
beating nature at her own game when
they can keep going without much
sleep for some time and not collapse,
and often boast about how fit they
feel on narrow margin of sleep.
Sleep is natures restorer and
greatest beautifier. The more high
strung a woman is, and the more
finely organized, the more sleep she
requires. The dull woman seldom
curtails her sleep; but the nervous
one, who needs the most sleep, finds
it hard to do so if under even the
mildest excitement.
Instead Of resorting to drugs when
that weary feeling begins to steal
over one make firm stand against
them. Substitute the sleep habit for
the drug habit.
For a tired, nervous woman, one
day a week in bed will do wonders,
and save time and money. 1t is i'm
portant for the high strung woman to
learn how to be calm.
When a woman begins to get cross
over trifles and the slightest disagree
ment makes her feel like jumping
up and down, then she must not go
and geta cup of tea Of medicine, but
start in for a series Of rests. Give
herself the rest cure, and she will
not have to go away from home to
do it.
Sleep more: that reposeful manner
that is 50 refreshing to see depends
on abundant sleep. Adults need sew

en- and one-half to eight and one
half hours sleep daily. You can't do
your best work on less. It is mis-
take to try it. "Catch up any lost
sleep" as soon as possible and make
up with extra sleep any extra physi-
cal or mental strain. There Is no
drug that has the reparative power
Of sleep, and there is nothing that
cah equal it as a remedy for worn,
exhausted nerves. 1t is the healer
and comforter of all troubles, mental
or physical.
Go to bed right at night Get up
right in the morning. Start with
Joy in your heart, hope in the future,
kindness in your purpose. If It is q
dark day, never mind; you will light
en- it up. II it is bright day, you
will add to the brightness. Give a
word Of cheer, kindly greeting and
a warm handshake to your friends.
IL you have enemies, look up, pass
them by, forget and try to forgive.
II all Of us would only think how
much of human happiness is made
