t f t ot i h .:.t i-io.: u j Acre. .a !. .:- J to r. jr. J. Little john. of Jonesville, r C. tha 'president and treasurer t:,a Jonesville Manufacturing Com -ranv. was here yesterJay' attending the meeting of the soft yarn spinners' association. Mr. Llttiejonn is a rarm r a well as a. manufacturer and he talks most interestingly of Improved farm methods of raisin cotton. He thinks two balsa an acre may be very asllv attained. He ,: has already brought hl land up to one bale to thft Here. tr. LJttlelohn'a nlan Is first to break up the land to a depth of 10 Inches. This he does with six Jisc plows which he Is now operating with a traction engine. Tnen poi aown - 400 pounds of commercial fertiliser with the seed: then 200 pounds at ' ach plowing thereafter, making a to rn of 1.000 pounds 10 me acre. u (sldej this ample preparation oUanJ and more fertiliser the cultivation Is thm name as usual.. " Mr. Littlejohn says that this plan of deep plowing obviates tn? neces sity for terracing the land. He took land last vear which, handled In the "ordinary wayand ,winr?0 TKrandsTrf fertiliser to the acre, wouu produce op,e-thir l of bale. By the applica tion of the above method he made a bale an acre and except for the hot t &K.Mw 4. V . -...II hava -made a bale and a nan to tne acre This Is two-thirds more cotton an acre and Is at least 125 an sere mere 1 tront than could be rot by the old way. He to satisfied tnat by contin , urn fhe system ana by proper rota tion ne can onng anyorainary iana in nroduce two bales of cotton 'an acre or 100 bushels of corn by the Wll. liamson method. A farmer named Smoak, at White stone .in Stjartanburjr county, made " three bales of cotton an acre. Continuing. Mr LKtlejonn says: "I Intend to take 30 acres next year and cut It up in. three sections. Ten acres will be put In cotton, from which I exnect to get 20 bales: 10 acres In corn, rrom wnicn i expec-i a pnssimc 1,000 busheta, anl 10 acres In. oats, from Which I expect to get 750 bush els, After cutting the oats I'll put it in peas, from which, In the same sea son, I expect to gn 20 tons of pea Vine hay. "If my expectations are realized I will get In one year from these 30 acres,, J2,f00 worth of crops and the expense cannot exceed $1,250. This omits cotton seed, which I throw in to cover cost of gathering crop. ."In time I propose to take, up tstumps and get 00 acres of land ready for the use of the traction en gine for deep plowing and for cul tivation under the above JeirrlbeJ ; system. "Mr. Blanton. a farmer In Chero Itee county, near Gaffney. S. C.. pro duced 99 bushels and the superinten dent of the county poor farm made 107 bushels an acre. Our State Is being redeemed In the matter of grain by this Williamson plan. There's more home-raised corn now In tny fState than ever before. "The truth Is that under these pclentlflc plans of cultivation Our land here In the piedmont country is worth more for farming than Mississippi bottom, and Texas land ever will be. Our lands respond to fertilizers mag nificently and are capable of great upbuilding." Mn. IjAtta vnxs. Snnrcme Court of North Carolina Hands Down DwWnn In Noted Case Ahont Watr Hlghu Above Mountain Island Mill. Among the Supreme Court deci sions reported In the papers yesterday was one Just filed by the Supreme Court of North Carolina in the noted case of E. D. Latta vs. the Cataw ba Electric and Manufacturing Com pany and ahe Hoopers, of Balti more. The trial of the case was held in Gaston county, before Judge George W. Ward, last May, and ev ery ;, contented point was decided In favor of Mr. Latta. and the Supreme Court affirmed Judge Ward's Judg ment. The readers of The Observer will probably recall that this litigation was ver some water rights Just above the Mountain Island Mill, on the Catawba river. Interest was added to the cas by the fact that during the litigation the Southern Power Company purchased the interest of the defendants, and thug the two riv al companies were urought into con flict in the court house. The defend ants contended that Mr. Latta had no water right whatever, but that II he bought belonged to them in connection with their Mountain Island Mill. It it understood that Mr. Latta has been advised by competent engineers that he has most excellent water power, and that he contemplates de veloping it. This development would aive Charlotte two rival companies furnishing electricity generated by water power. The attorneys for Mr. Latta were: Col. W. B. Hodman and Mr. Charks W. Tlllett. of this city, i,nd Mr. O. F. Mason, of Dallas. The defendants were represented by Judge A. Burweli. Judge r. I. Osborne. Messrs. Maxwell & Keerans and Mr. R. O. Luca. of this city, and Mr. A. G. Mantim, of Gastonla. The S!innnonlioutc-Orr Trial This Af ternoon. Interesting development are being looked for by a portion of curious public from the trial of Mr. Frank HI. Shannonhouse on a warrant charging an affray with Chief W. 8. Orr. of the fire department. Mr. Orr has al ready been fined $5 and costs for hi particlpance, but this trial was post poned at the instance of the defend ant. It la said that both sides tiave thunder up their sleeves and conse quently It is possible that there may be electricity in the atmosphere of " Magistrate J. W. Cobb's office this af ternoon at 4:10 when the case ts due to be called. Both sides expressed their atlsf action with Friday, the 1 Jth, a a day of trial. To what ei ent the city government may be in volved. If at all, remains to be seen. It Is probable, as a matter, of fact, that the whole matter will end quiet ly. Trlsoncrs at the County Jail to Date. There were but 9 prisoners In the rounty Jail yesterday. Of these two are negro women, 4 are negro men anj wnue men. Th latter are H, .B. Shoaf, James Lang and John M. centon, tne postomce clerk who Is tinder sentence to the Atlanta Federal prison. All the negroes have -been put there since the recent term of court except on. Atlas Fry. who was over from the term of Superior Court preceam- tnat just neia. His charge Is that of disposing of mortgaged property. He took an appeal to th fiuprem Court and bis case has not jH pees passed-on. ' Nursioc Mothers and Malaria.

Neat ly DounJ in brown, with a table o contents which includes five poems and about that number of pieces of fiction, the issue is an interesting one to all who are in any way interested in college life. One cannot expect to find In a publication whose creators are undergraduates much that makes a universal appeal, but there Is quite as much of this in the magazine re ferred to as there Is in any college pu Plication snort of one or two oi tne great Northern universities, where monetary remuneration If allowed the writers and where the aertness oi touch and originality found is little below that In popular tnagasines.

A the editor pointedly remarks, m reviewing the material: 'Much of it is crude.

It has only been a few years since It was discovered -that a surgical operatlfi would cure appendicitis; In fait. It has been but a short time since the disease waa discovered and named. Whenever there Is an Inflamed con dition of the appendix, caused by Impacted faeces In the small cavity opening Into the Intestine, you then have appendicitis. The older doctors used to call this Inflammation of the bowels, and were puzzled to know the cause. Even now, with all the knowledge we have of the disease, no medical man can tell you why we should have an appendix, why we find it where it is. or what are Its functions, if It has any. The disease for which the opera tion is a cure Is usually caused by Indigestion, and In many cases fol lows a large and indigestible meal. Physicians have until recently recommended an operation, but now, as It U known that It Is caused by Indigestion or dyspepsia, a cure without an operation Is assured. Where the patient Is treated with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the un- neaithy conditions prevailing rapidly umppmr, me stomach and In testines are placed Buck In their normal condition, every organ of the body operates as it should, and th Inflammation Is reduced and the operation Is avoided. Conscientious physicians, who are looking after the best interests ot their patients, will always keep a supply f Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy In their office, where In cases of sadden attacks of Indigestion they can relieve the patient at once. There Is no rectrd of a case of ap pendicitis where the stomach and bowels were On s healthy condition and properly digested the food from meal to meal. No better adyle can be given to ny one who has attacks of indi gestion, or who has been threatened with appendicitis, than to tell him to go to th drug store, pay 50 cents and take horn a package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets m s Whenever heartburn, gas In stom ach or bowels, heart disease or stom ach troubles, sour eructlons, acidity or fermentation are present, act at oifte, Tak a dos of th tablets and get relief a oon a -possible. , At all druggists 50 cents. send us your nam and address to-day and w wl at one send yoti by mail a sample package fr.
