very materially to the fund.

HIS BUilJJI. OlIIIE
Took Place Last Sunday—Acci-
dentally dot Hold of Deadly
Fluid
White's Grove, April 20.—Tho
little 2-yeat-old sou of Emmet
Standifer, of Foncine, died at the
home of its grandfather, R. M.
McDonald, Saturday afternoon,
from the effects ef carbolic acid
burns sustained Wednesday by
the little one drinking tho fatal
lotion which it accidentally got
hold of. It suffored terrible ago-
ny before death came to its relief.
The burial took place Sunday af-
ternoon in theMt. Olive cemetery
in the presence of a large con-
course of sorrowing relatives und
friends. Rev. Mose Tucker of
Rock Hill conducted the funeral
assisted by Rov. Mark Dunn of
Altoga. The grief stricken pa-
rents have the sympathy of evory
one in their great calamity.
Miss Lottio Williams, of tho
Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday school,
was elected delegate to the Coun-
ty B. Y. P. U. Convention in

ject.
3rd.—First grade certificates
are valid for six years oo same
conditions.
OUT OF A JOB.
There arc people in Texas who
are genuinely miserable at this
time. The reason is that the
green bug can not be counted on
even for a sensational report as
to its presence; tho wet spell has
ceased; tho drouth ha9 not com-
menced, and thore are doubts as
to whether the boll weevil will
materialize.—Dallas News.
The testimony of Henry Yout-
sey, as published elsewhere in
this issue, if truo, discloses a
plot which has no equal for bein-
ousness. There is not a blacker
page in the annals of history. It
is puzzling to know how tho cit-
izenship of the greut common-
wealth of Kentucky allowed this
band of cut throats to obtain
prestige.
Too Oreat a Risk.
A reliable remedy for bowel
complaints should always be kept
at hand. The risk is too great for
anyone to take. Chamoerlam's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy never tails and when re-
duced with water is pleasant to
take. For sale by City Drug
Store.
Th e Poultry House.
This is the season when tho
poultry-house should have a
thorough cleaning, not any half-
way work, but a thorough pains-
taking job.
Begin first with the nests and
straw and remove every particle
to a heap and burn it. If thoro
is vermin in the house, scald ev-
ery part with hot, boiling water,
and theu whitewash well so that
every crevice is covered. An
ounce of crude carbolic ncid or
kerosene will be very beneficial,
if added to the whitewash.
Saturate the roosts with kero-
sene, and sprinkle lime over the
floor and dropping boards. A
half pound of sulphur burnt in
an old nan while house is closed,
will kill all the vermin and ma-
terially aid in disinfecting tho sur
roundings. This, of emrse, must
be done during the day, as the
hens must not be allowed in the
house during that time. Keep
the house clean, and half the
fight for success has been won.—

White's Grove school will close
Friday May 1st with public exer-
cises. Prof Miller and assistant
teacher, Miss Etta Quisenbury,
have had a successful term.
The Methodist Sunday school
here is also flourishing. It meets
every Sunday morning at 10 o'-
clock so as not to conflict with
Mt Olivo Baptist Sunday school
which meets in tho afternoon.
This is a proper fraternal and
brotherly spirit, commendable in
our community. As a result,
many of our children get to at-
tend and receive tho benefits of
both Sunday schools. Officers of
the White's Grove Sunday school
are: W M Horn (superintendent,
John Holloman assistant superin-
tendent, Miss Lou Williams sec-
retary, Miss Ola Epps organist.

J G Williams of this commu-
nity and J H Ferguson of Me-
Kinney aro conducting an exten-
sive hog ranch on the latter's old
home place here which the former
is cultivating. They expect to
raise and ship both registered and
stock hogs. Thoy will soon ship
a car of stock hogs to tho big Ft
Worth packers. They are exper-
imenting this year with 5 or 6
acres of sugar beets and about the
game acreage of dwarf milo maize
to feed their hogs with. Their
experiment will be watched with
interest by our farmers who have
heretofore depended almost en-
tirely upon corn as bog feed.
They havo also sowed about (>
acres of alfalfa in their hog en-
closure.
Corn planting is done and the
first is up to a verv good stand.
Cotton planting is also practically
finished. Wheat looks rusty. It
and oats both need rain.
J G Williams only has about
ono acre of onions in this year.
Our 1903 onion crop will be light-
er than ordinarily.

Carter Harrison's majority was
not as large as was expected by
his friends, but it *v is enough to
enable bitn to protect the city
from tbe schemes of Jie street
car magnates. Tbe result, wMlle
a great compliment to Harrison,
is also a signal victory for munic-
ipal ownership. The second city
in the United States has thus re-
corded itself on the side of a great
and growing reform. Mr. Dar-
row skaree with Mayor Harrison
tho honors of the victory. As
the leader of the Altgold element
of the Chicago democracy and as
the special champion of municipal
ownership his active support was
probably sufficient to draw
enough votes from tbe labor can-
didate to Harrison to win tbe day.
The fact that Harrison and Dar-
row were together and were op-
posed by Hopkins is a hopeful
sign to those who are anxious to
take tbe party in Illinois out of
the hands of the reorganises.
Kansas City platform democrats
are both pleased and encouraged
by Carter Harrison's success.—

Owing to the unusally wet fall and winter, there has been very little land broken for corn,
therefore it is necessary to get a planter that will do the work on unbroke land, as well as on that
which is well prepared, for the farmer to get his corn planted in the proper time, and in the best
possible manner. We have such a planter, and it is guaranteed to give satisfaction.
This Planter Will Open
THE FURROW.
Drop and cover the corn all in one
operation, it is a two-horse planter,
and will use n largo corn shovel or
sweep either as desired to open the
furrow, and then all that is neces-
sary to put your corn in tho best
condition, is to break out tho mid-
