Sandy Run Cotton Growers.

To the Editor Ct the DlspatcE:
Tie cotton growers Of Sanly Run
township metal Cullers schcol house,
Saturday, January s, ard organized
by electing DR.. W. T. Brooker, Pres
ident and \. B. Wannrmaker Secre-
tary.
A permanent organization was
effected, as follows: Hon. ". T.
Brooker, President: Capt. J. c. l.
Wannamaker ard +. J. Roof, Vice
Presidents: n. Z. Wannamaker, Sec
retary Delegates to lie County
Convention were elected as follows:
DR.. W. T. Brooker, n. 3. Wanna
maker and W. H. Wannamaker; al.
ternates, Maj. H. J. Seibles, John c.
Muller and J. W. Grim. The follow
ing committee was appointed to
draft constitution for the govern
ment OF the Association: y. 2. Wan
namaker, John G. Muller and J. W.
Grim. The following resolutions in
troduced by N. B. Wannamaker were
adopted with out a dissenting vote:
Resolved, That it is the deliber-
ate judgment Of this meeting Of the
cotton growers of Sandy Run town.
ship that the lien law should be
blotted from the statute books OF
South Carolina now and forever.
2, That said lien law is the most
pernicious, baneful and foolhaldy law
ever placed upon the statute books OF
this commonwealth.
3, That we believe that there
should be concert of action along
this line by the law making bodies OF
every State and Territory whose
principal money crop is cotton.
4, That We require our represen-
tatives in both branches of the Leg
islature to labor for its speedy and
unconditional repeal.
5, That the privilege tax On ferti-
lizers should be reduced to nominal
sum-an amount sufficient to pay the
expenses of an analysis and no more.
6, That while this reduction would
doubtless initiate against the inter-
est of the \. and NJ College of the
State (tbe sole beneficiary of this tax
it's efficiency would not be materially
impaired thereby, and at any rate we
must be just before we arc generous.
The farmers are by no means the
only people who are to be benefited
by the A. and NJ. College, but theirs
is the exclusive privilege to paying
this tax.
7, That the enforced ks pm Of
the cost of producing eonse-
quence upon the great depreciation
in the price, renders it imperative
that every element of cost possible
of elimination be sedulously weeded
ou'; and as commercial fertilizers is
an appreciable and necessary element
OF cost, our Railroad Commissioners
should see to it that the rates charged
for hauling fertilizers for the ap:
proaching season should be fixed
with special reference to the dimin-
ished returns from our principal crop.
s, That We give our hearty and
unequivocal endorsement to the anti
option bill introduced by our imme-
diate Representative IN Congress,
Hon. J. VIM. Stokes, and now pend
ing before that body, and we trust
every effort will be put forth to ex-
pedite it's passage so that its bene-
fits may be secured TO the cotton
growers at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
The Sandy Run Cotton Growers
Protective Association then adjourned
subject to the call of President.

HOW NEXT RECRUITED.
Speculation as to What Kind Of Men W.

THE CHANCES OF NATIONAL GUARD


Since President McKlnIey's last call
for 5000 more volunteers. there has
been considerable speculation as to
what kind of recruits will be required.
1t will require three companies to make
UP Utah's second quota, and 1t is not
at all unlikely bu. what two companies
Will be recruited from the National
Guard infantry in this city, and the
other company made of recruits from
companies at Manti and Bountiful. If
this is done. 1t will give Gov. Wells the
appointing of one major, three captains
and six first and second lieutenants.
At present there are five companies
of the National Guard in Utah, three in
salt Lake, one ut Mantl. and one at
Bountiful. All are in good shape.
with splendid equipment, with the
eception of tents.
The national branch of the infantry
department did not receive any par
ticular encouragement to enlist under
the first enlistment. The companies
are now busy recruiting to their full
strength. This is especially true OF
company A, in this city, which now has
an enrolment of sixty members. They
are said to be well drilled body or
