A few years ago very small cotton
producers usually gave the seed in order
to have their cotton ginned. But If the
price of cotton continues to decline until
next fall at the rate it has been going
down for the past two or three months, 1t
may not be surprising that such farmers
will be found giving the lint of their pres
ent crops for the ginning and they retain
ing the seed.

The Columbia State, ofSunday, says !:
"Superintendent Neal lant night received
q dispatch from Clemson College inform
ing him OF the escape of three con-
victs from the squad at work at that
institution. They were Bob Jefferies,
sent up from Spartanburg, August II
last. for six years for burglary Edward
Cohen. from Greenville, on Decem Ger 4,
1892, for fourteen years for burglary and
grand larceny, and Jack Givens, sent up
from spsrtanburg on November 3. 1892.
for two, years for larceny of live stock.
The first two ran out from under the guns
Of the guards and were fired upon. The
other man slipped away"
No consistent Church member or prohi-
bitionist can sign petition for the estab.
lishment of dispensary. In signing a
petition for dispsnsary he would be just
as inconsistent as if he were to sign bar
keepers petition for the opening of ga.
loon. There is no difference from q
moral standpoint. If che dispensary law
is success financially, it will never be
repealed, and prohibition will never be
established in South Carolina. Under the
present law we can have prohibition if we
keep our names from any petitions, and In
suppressing "blind tigers" We have the
State government, (and not simply mu.
nicipal government to enforce the Law.
