l»o«*t Expect too Miicli.
There never was but one perfect pair
and they slipped down the banks of par
adise together. Wo occasionally find
a man who says he never sins'. We
kuow he lies when he says it We have
had financial dealings with two or three
perfect men, and they cheated us. Do
not, therefore, look for an iinmalculate
husband, for you will not fiud him.
While you are thinking he is perfect he
will some day while in a great hurry to
meet an engagement, fiud a shirt but
ton off, and your delusion concerning
him will break, or he will find that one
of bis childreu has been sharpening a
slate pencil with Isis razor. Let me
tell women there are no perfect men.
We have been much among men and
understand the whole. On a clear
morning, when they are well dressed,
aud the road is clean, they look admir*
ably; but none of them enjoy having a
passing vehicle splash mud on their
newly blackened boots. None of them
look placid when some one treads on
their corns. if you want to find
out that no man i& perfec', just
marry him. But i think that the two
sexes, laying all sentimantalism aside,
are about equal. If you secure for life
the companionship of some one about
a* good as' yourself, you are to be con
gratuleted. Better have the two blades
of a scissors as near as possible alike
Get married but with your eyes wide
open. Remember the old ptoverb;
“You have a knot tied with vour
tongue you cannot untie with your
teeth.”—Ex.

The Khomkat Bee has these items of
local comment:
“Cotton is said to be so short in this
section that there is nothing left but the
middle.
“The Rhomkat bank was established
last week and advertised over the door
‘Money on Call.’ Every cue called a 1
once and broke the bank.
“We see in the papers that ‘whiskey
is steady.’ We are glad to know this,
for the people who drink it are very
unsteady.
“The Rhomkat postmaster got short
in his accounts, but when Uncle Sam
learned he’d been married three times
the case was u»l pressed with this in
dorsement—‘Sufficiently Punished.’

Here is a Georgia boy’s composition
on the war in China:
“China is a land of heathens that
would ruther worship a woodeu god
that grins at you than to go to church
an’ pay pew rent. My Pa was a mis
sionary in China. When ste boxers
commenced to box they knocked
him out iu the first round,
an’ he lost three fingers an’ a
braud new hymnbook with a bookmark
iu it. Then he corned home, fie has
still got 2 arms and 2 legs left, though
the mission board told him that he lost
his head. He says home missions take
the cake.—Stanton.
All Think So.
It is bat natural for every man to
believe that he has a harder time than
anybody else. Working men of all
classes are apt to consider that their
occupations are the most laborious of
all others. They are badly mistaken.
Labor of the mind is productive of even
greater fatigue than labor of the body
and it’s quite erroneous to suppose that
others do not work as we do simply
because their work is different from
ours. To live without a purpose is
certainly to lead a miserable life. La
bor is the earthly condition of man. If
you have a business, attend to it and
consider it worthy of your attention.
Otherwise your business, no matter
what it is, is a failure.—Marrietta

it has done for others you have every

It will be seen tilut our September re

then showed 74., a decrease for August!

The government reports the condition

On Sept. 1, 1899, the government gave

If these figures show anything, it
points to a smaller crop than 1890 by
several hundred thousand bales. Henoe,
we believe that 12 cent cotton is not all

Estimate of the Cotton Crop For 1900
and 1901.
Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 80, 1900
Based upon the reliable information
from all sources from each of the cotton
states and territories, taking into con
sideration the condition of the cotton
crop, we are led to believe that the fol
lowing will be the output of the oottou
crop for the season of 1900 aud 1901:
Alabama 831,000
Arkansas 809,000
Florida 80,000
Georgia 1,025,000
Indian Territory 210,001)
Louisiana 003,000
Mississippi 848,000
Missouri 30,000
North Carolina .. 495,000
Oklahoma 100,000
South Carolina 801,000
Tennessee 285,000
Texas 8,300,000
Virginia 18,000
Other sources 600
Making a total of 9,3b5,500
This estimate, however, is subject to
the weather condition for the month of
September and also killing frosts later
on. This estimate is given out ns being
the opinion of this association.

For fall grazing for pigs the Arkansas
station has found peanuts and chufas
superior to other plants in the amount of
pork produced per acre. The peanut is
the better of the two and makes a great
increase iu soil fertility, while the chufa
does not.
Question* Answered.
Is there any objection to planting
peach trees on newly cleared land?
Ans. In my opinion newly cleared
land snould never be planted iu peach
trees if other good peach land is availa
ble. Land should be cultivated at least
two years after oleariug before planting
it in orchard.
The reason: New land oanuot lie prop
erly prepared for the reception of trees
on aooount of the roots of the forest
trees. Thorough preparation of the
ground before planting Is one of the
essential factors in fruit growing. Deep
preparations before planting and shallow
cultivation afterwards is the rule.
Furthermore, trees planted ou new
land are subject to the attaeks of Ter
mites or “wood-lice,” as they are com
monly known to the fruit grower. Those
insects broed in great numbers iu de
caying roots of forest trees and when
fruit trees are planted in new laud they
fall an easy prey to these “wood-lice,”
which attaok the roots and the base of
the tree. The remedy for “wood-lice”
is tobacco dust. The dirt should be re
moved from the base of the tree and a
hand full of tobucco d>usL applied and
the dirt thrown back.
r
Host Crop Iu the Peach Orchard.
What are the best crops that can b«
grown in a poach orchard without mate
rial injury to the trees?
Ans. Oottou, cantaloupes, sweet pota
toes and peas. It is uot desirable to plant
corn or any grain crop in an orchard.
Cotton is, perhaps, by far the best crop
to grow in au orchard. It practically
insures a good cultivation for the trees
almost throughout the season, just what
they need. No good farmer will fail to
cultivate his cottou orop, bud he may
neglect his trees.
When peas are planted iu an orchard
they should be planted iu drills and
cultivated so that the trees will not
suffer for cultivation. Never sow peas
■broadcast iu au orchard and, thus pre
vent cultivation.
These crops may be profitably grown
with the trees only for the first two or
throo years. No crop should be grown
iu an orchard after the third year.—

HowTo

Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTT'S EMUL

happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound; it seems to start the
digestive machinery going prop

to digest and absorb his ordinary
feed, which he could not do be

is made.
