health of our people is generally good.

These men are Weil known and deserves a

In a former issue, we offered a reward of

borrow the Beacon, the cattle broke in his
field and ate his corn. He lost the prize.

it will reach Jame-iville by the last of the

A Steam Fire Engine Needed.
Our town needs and should have a Steam
Fire Engine. While the hand engine we
now have is of great use to the town, yet,
its capacity is not sufficient as only one
stream can be run, while at the same time
it takes 20 men to do the work.
A steam engine can be feought for $1,500,
which will throw 300 gallons of water per
minute.
Our town is increasing lu its population
and the demand for a better Fire Depart
ment is fast approaching. Let our citizens
be awake to their interests before it is too
hue.
AN EXPERIMENT.
I have used cotton seed meal for cotton
this year and last year on a small scale and
find it lar superior to anything I've ever
used or seen used. I have cotton now with
75 bushels cotton seed to the acre and
right along side, cotton growing with 500
lbs cotton seed meal per acre; the cotton
seed meal exceeds the raw cotton seed. I
also have experimented with acid phos.
phate and kainite and pocomote and pacific
gaano. ine ootion seea meat in same
proportion of cost par acre is twice as good
as either, and I can now show tho results
to be true, on two lotw of grouna I also
ufced cotton seed meal 50 lbs on 3 rows 125
yards, and right along side 4 loads of stable
manure in b rows and left a row between
each plot uncultivated, or cultivated with
nothing in it. and the results were for cot
ton seed meal 70 lbs seed cotton, lor stawe
manure 70 lbs seed cotton, showing equal-
ly, I also used cotton seed meal witn
kainite and acid phosphate mixed, and the
meal mixed with same makes a bigger dif
ference than when the kanaitc and pho.
phate are only mixed together, or they are
usfid alono. T have mado the exp&rinieut
on throe ploU of land, tho kainet in one
plot was excooded by the phosphate consid
erably and in tho others the kaiuet exceeded
the phosphate, tnowing tne aenciency oi
potash more in soma land than in other,
and the deficiency in phosphorio acid in
some more than other, but, in all cases
nitrogen or aiuuonia more necessary than
either as shown by the experiment of cotton

Mr. Editoii : I was pleased to see in the
last issue of the Beacon your good feeling
for our Alliance. We are always glad to
make fnends, even witn Chose whom we
cannot idrait in our order. It seems that
we have enemies, from our recent treat
ment in regard to holding our meetiegs in
the !ort House. Our order means to do
all the good it can to the whole people and
no harm to any one. We did not deserve
the treatment received.
In this county we have ten sub. Alliances
which in all numbers about four hundred.

one possessing well developed powers of
imagination preferred.

Right much excitement has been caused
by mad doars recently.
We are glad to say that the health of

Our genial young friend and former

we wisn him much success in his task of
'teaching the young idea how to shoot."
We hear that the Lumber Railroad will
be in our midst in a few weeks and our
country, the dense forests of which have
never been disturbed by the 'lumberman's
ax, when robed of its immense number of
giant pines the forest will present quite a
changed appearence.
Tho Beacon comes each week bringing
news of friends and kindred dear and is
ever welcome as the bright sunshine, the
sweet flowers or the smiling face of a

Never Swear-
8outhern Planter,
1. It is mean. A boy of high moral
standing would almost as soon steal a sheep
as swear.
2. It is vulgar altogether too low for a
decent boy.
3. It is cowardly implying a fear of
not being-believed or obeyed.
4. It is ungentlemanly. a gentleman,
according to Webster is a genteel man
well-bred, refined.
Such a one will no more swear than go
into the street to throw mud with a claim,
ney-sweep.
