Potatoes as Horse Feed.
In the first issue of the Planter we
gave the experience of W. G. Hinson
of James island in reference to feed¬
ing horses and mules ou potatoes. We
siflee found two farmers, J. G. Lamp
ley of Darlington county and W. D.
Harries of Florence county, who are
utilizing their potatoes in the same
way. Those gentlemen are not doing
it from necessity.
According to the estimate of
Colonel T. W. Woodward of Fairfield
it takes three bushels of potatoes to
equal in nutriment one bushel of
coru, but even if it took four the cost
of feeding on the potatoes would be
far less. It is well known that a dry
summer is favorable to potatoes and
just the opposite for corn, and this
fact ought to be sufficient to induce
every farmer to plant them more
largely.—Carolina Planter.
A Clamorous Scarecrow,
The crows had been stealing the
peas of a Monroe citizen of inventive
turn of mind. That gentleman tried
every known device, to no avail. He
then as a last tesort placed a chicken
coop among the pea vines and in the
coop put a rooster. The next morn¬
ing when the crows called that rooster
stuck his head out and crowed lustily.
The crows have not returned.—Port¬
land (Me.) Press.
A Canine Stew.
Some time ago a hungry poor man
in Berlin stole the poodle of an organ
grinder, took the animal to his home,
and then feasted on dog steak and
canine stew. But the minions of the

theft and sentenced to four months'
imprisonment.—New York World.

“I—[ can’t get these fig leaves
pinned straight,” was the reply of Eve
in a voice that warned him to carry
the discussion no further.

STOMACH AND HEAD PAINS.
A REMEDY.
Women Are Subject to Both, on Account
of Tight Lacing.
From, the Foe icing News, Newark, N. J.
One of the happiest women in this city is
Mrs. George G. Reiss, or 29 Montgomeery
Street.
‘‘No one to look at me now,” raid Mrs.
Reiss to a reporter, “would think for a mo¬
ment that I was so ill that the doctors said I
could not possibly be saved. About three
years ago I began to suffer from terrible
pains in my stomach and it was almost im¬
possible for me to do any work. Then I had
severe headaches that almost distracted me
and altogether I was in a very sad condition.
Of course I wanted to be well again, and like
most people in such cases, I consulted a doc¬
tor, spent money for medicine and took it
faithfully. To my infinite regret I got no
better, and another doctor was called in.
More medicine was prescribed and this I
took, but it did no good. Those terrible
pains continued to make life miserable for
me. The doctors blandly told me that I
could not be cured entirely, if at all. Pleas¬
ant news, wasn’t it? Well, I continued to
work about the house hero and suffered un¬
told agonies. I did not give up hope but did
all I could to relieve mv misery. Nothing
gave me any relief, however, hope and I had be¬
gun to think that all must be aband¬
oned, Dr. when, Williams’ in reading Pink. the Pills Evening advertised. News. I
saw
The printed testimonial coming from a resi¬
dent of this city led me to believe that I, too,
might be'beneflted by these pills and not
without some misgivings I bought a box oi
them.
“Almost as soon as I began to take them I
felt relieved and the first marked indication
of improvement Was when that tired, weary,
don’t-care feeling disappeared. This was iu
itself something to be grateful for, but other
and more pleasing results followed after 1
had taken entirely more of the pills. in My headaohes
ceased and the pain my stomach
troubled me no more. Now once in a great
while I have an occasional ache ora pain,
but I know the cure. Out comes the Pink
Pills, and after taking one or two of good them,
away the pain goes. It all seems so to
me that at times I can scarcely believe I that had
it can be true and yet I know that if
not used these Pink Pills I would still be
suffering agony such as few people do in this
world.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a con¬
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are an un¬
failing specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after effect of la grippe, pal¬
pitation of the heart, pale and sallow com¬
plexions, all forms of weakness either in
male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt

$2.50—they are never sold in bulk or by the

Sorry Not to Oblige.
Poole, the tailor, was a most accom¬
modating gentleman, and was often
invited to the houses of “the great. ”
When staying with a certain noble¬
man, he was asked, one morniDg, by
his host, what he thought of the party
who had assembled at table the night
before. “Why, very pleasant, indeed,
your grace; but perhaps a little mix¬
ed.” “Hang it all, Poole !” responded
the jovial peer; “I couldn’t have ail
tailors!”—Argonaut.

A Prayer for Rain.
The part of the Occident in which
fhe settlement of Hawville is located
had been afflicted with a long and se
vere drouth. After the ablest attempts
of the rain-makers had brought no re
lief, a special prayer meeting was held
at the Methodist church, and a united
appeal for rain was made to Provi¬
dence. When the service had been
going on for some time Col. Handy
Polk,an enterprising real estate agent,
rose in his place, and with becoming
humility began: “Our heavenly Fath¬
er, we are assembled yere today to
call Thy attention to the fact that we
need rain, and need it mighty had! It
hain’t a case of merely wantin’ it, but
we’ve jest nacherly got to have it or go
stone broke! Our business interests are
prostrated and town lots are bein’
offered for half the prices they would
have brought six months ago, and go
in’ beggin’ at that. Our crops are
burnt up, and if we don’t git relief
soon half of the population will be
forced to pull up stakes and go back
East to their wives’ people. And, in
addition to the distress that a contin
neration of this yere drouth will
bring to us, I beg to call Thy at¬
tention to the injury it will inflict
upon Thy cause and kingdom in
this locality. Already many
of the faint hearted have back slidden,
and it is only a question of time till
sin and innickerty run rampant in our
midst. Now I beg also to remind Thee
that it is Col. Handy Polk, the well
known real estate, loan and insurance
agent, who is humbly askin’ this favor
of Thee, and that Thou eanst depend
upon it that the case stands presizely
as I have stated it. And I hope Thou
wilt give my humble petition Thy
keerful attention, and grant us, before
to-morrow night or by the day after
to-morrow, at the very latest, the rain
we so badly need.” It it to be record¬
ed that, within the space of twenty
four hours from that time, fhe rain be¬
gan falling in torrents.—New York
Tribune.
Seemed Too Extortionate.
A middle aged man of tall, slender
build and earnest cast of countenance
stepped into a hatter’s shop and re¬
moved the wrappings from a soft felt
hat he carried in his hand.
“How much will it cost to have this
dyed a light gray, to match my hair?”
he inquired.
“It will cost you at least $1,” re¬
plied the hatter.
The caller wrapped it up again.
“I won’t pay it,” he said decidedly.
“For 35 cents I can get my hair dyed
to match the hat. Good day, sir.”—

Mexican Water Jars.
The Mexicans do not use ice, but
nevertheless there is no country where
a man can get a class of cool, sweet
water than in Mexico. The water jars
are made of porous pottery which al
lows the water to ooze through , the
material of the tanks, and the evapor
ation keeps it always C90I. It is not
cold like our ice water, but it is all the
better on that account, aB a man can
drink twice as much and never feel in
the least injured, no matter how large
his drafts. Australian ranchmen fre¬
quently put water into skin bottles
which they suspend from the veran¬
dah, and the air stvaying the skins
back and forth cools the water and
renders it more palatable.
