J. III. Garland Dead.

Harvin. Sept. 3.---Mr. ]. H. Garland
one OF the oldest and most popular
general merchants and farmers in this
section Of South Carolina, died last
night OF paralysis. at his homo at Sar-
DINA, where he had lived all his life.
For the past year or SO Mr.. Garland
nad been In failing health, and his
host OF friends everywhere we're not
surprised at his passing.
Mr.. Garland has been In the mer-
camille and farming business and was
for the most Of his life postmaster at
sardinia. for more than q third of a
century. succeeding to the mercantile
and farming business Of his father,
the late Ransom Butler Garland, who
with his family came to this state
from North! Carolina more than GO
years ago.
Mr.. Garland was good man. a true
friend. and the most OF his life is
dotted with acts Of favors and chari-
ties to his fellow mankind In general.
His greatest fault was his generosity
on which 1t was frequently imposed.
He was a life member of old Mid
way Presbyterian church and was an
active figure in the building and
maintenance Of tho Sardinia Presby-
terian church. of which he was a
member at the time of his death,
where the funeral services were con-
Quoted this afternoon by the Rev. DIR.
J. w. Mckay Of Sumter. and the
funeral ceremonies were finished at
the grave In the old McFaddin burial
ground on the banks Of Black River,
where this old American family set
tied now nearly two centuries ago.

Peanuts as Substitute.

As a substitute for corn, peanuts,
a crop which can be planted as late
as cotton. is the crop most generally
urged. 1t is a feed crop and a money
crop in one and as such is ideal for
conditions as they exist. Peanut hay
fed with the nuts is an excellent sub
stitute for corn, both for fattening
stock for the market and for work
stock and dairy cows. Peanuts
crushed furnish an excellent money
crop that will, according to statistics
compiled by the Texas industrial CON
gress, yield higher profit per acre
than cotton in most cases.
A symposium of the cotton oil mills
of the state has led officials Of the
congress to the conclusion that there
will be a ready market in Texas next
wear for every bushel of peanuts
grown. Cotton oil bills in every sec
tion of Texas are putting in special
machinery for crushing peanuts. There
is a movement on foot by a proml'
nent cotton oil man of North Texas
to erect a large peanut-crushing plant
| in either Fort Worth or Iallas, which
will create a market for peanuts
grown within a seyenty-iiye-mile ra
dius. one of the large cotton oil mills
in Houston has announced that it Will
abandon the crushing Of cotton seed
entirely this year and will be equip
ned TO crush peanuts up to 100000
/ bushels.

According to LIE Figaro, the famous
expression, "A scrap of paper was
used as long ago as the eighteenth
century by Lord Chesterfield, and.
strangely enough, to brand the con-
luct of an ancestor of William 1.-THE
great Frederick himself. The latter.
betraying the French alliance to ne
gotiate in an underhand way with Eng
and, had ordered his minister, Pode-
giis. to explain to Lord Chesterfield
hat the invasion of Bohemia had not
oeen real act of aggression, but a
Drecaution of legitimate defense taken
against the threats and snares Of Aus
,rian politicians. Il very much doubt,
-eplied Lord Chesterfield, IF these
fears, whether they be well or i'll
founded, are sufficient grounds for
taking up arms against a neighbor.
The most solemn treaties are only
scraps Of paper if the powers that be
have sufficient reasons to authorize
their being broken" This conyersa-
ton is related BY Chesterfield himself
in a letter dated February q, lido
Dundee Advertiser.
