Lot Us Help Each Other.
Editor Cotton Plant r II

EulIor SOItOn rant .. .--
In this day of such wonderful
mental and industrial activities we
should avail ourselves, to The utmost,
of every means within our reach of
acquiring such knowledge as will
promote success in our chosen voca-
tion. Every enterprise, except agri-
culture, avails itself of the strength
and power which compact organiza-
tion gives. Scarcely, week passes
without the announcement of new
combines in the various departments
of human industry. In union there
is strength.
Tho thousands OF ..ttle springs, the
sources from which the waters begin
their return to the ocean, are feeble
and powerless, but when they have
united into one great stream they
acquire irresistible power. A single
farmer, isolated as he must bo from
the nature of his business, can exert
but little influence. lie must fight
his battles with the world Mt great
disadvantage, but when he becomes
a member of local organization bis
influence and power is multiplied by
the number Of members united with
him. If these local organizations
unite with n thousand others to form
State association, tho influence of
the local organization is magniiied
one thousand fold and the industry
which they represent commands the
respect and the homage of all good
citizens.
Why are the farmers of South Ca
rolina, almost without exception,
fighting the battle of life single
handed and alone, instead of having
as they may the elbow touch of SYM
Eathy of all who aso attempting to
solve the problem of a successful ag-
riculture, happy homes and prosper
GUS State For more than thirty
years | have been lending "hclping
hand" to the toiling tillers of the
soil by every means at my command.
The zone thing needed" now more
than all else is organization upon
strict economic principles. No mat
ter by what name the organizations
may be called, provided their plat
form is, "The use of all honorable
and legitimate means OF promoting
the prosperity, education and happi-
ness of the tillcrs of the soil and
their families"
All organizations depend for sue
cess upon individual effort.
The Scotch Highland Society,
which has accomplished 80 much,
started with six members. While
would urge every white man who
follows or directs plow to unite, for
his own advantage, with some organi
zation, large numbers are not ncces-
sary. Some of the most successful
and useful agricultural clubs l have
ever known contained only twelve
members. There is no farmer, no
matter how independent or intclli-
gent he may be, who may not receive
profit from a regular monthly at
tendance upon properly organized
and conducted farmers organization.

Judge Gary has granted bail to

Stuart's house, in Columbia; to
Crawford in the sum of $4,000, Dorm
and Coleman 1000 each, and Cooley

stated into positions of profit and

strict letter and spirit of the law,
they are not guilty of murder, and
Judge Gary is justifable in granting

crime not only possible, but almost

figure. The Saturday before Christ

even greater than those in Philadel-
phia and exceeded $500,000. The
New York store paid a profit from
the very day that it was opened, al
though two firms which occupied the

Mr.. Wanamaker's great success,
both in New York and PHILADELPHIA,
is his skillful and successful advorsis.

his advertising to newspapers and

UNCLE SANS TERMS.
FORM OF GOVERNMENT TO BE
GIVEN THE FILIPINOS.
Governor General and Judges to be APP
pointed by tho President, While
the Cabinet VIII be Selected
by the Governor General

Manila, May 24.-Professor Schur-
man. head OF the United States Phaip-
pine commission, has submitted the
following written propositions to the
Filipinos:
while the final decision as to the
form OF government is in the hands of
the congress, the president under his
military powers, pending the action of
congress stands ready to offer the fol.
lowing form Of government:
IA governor general to be appointed
by the president; cabinet to be ap-
pointed by the governor general; all
the judges to be appointed by the presi-
dent; the heads of departments and
judges to be either Americans or Fill
pinos, or both, and also general ad-
visory council, its members to be
chosen by the people by form of suf-
frage to be hereafter carefully deter
mined upon.
1.-THE president earnestly desires that
bloodshed cease and that the people of
the Philippines, at an early date, en-
JOY the largest measure of self-goveru-
meht compatible with peace and
order.
The United States commission pre-
pared the scheme and the president
caoled his approval of the form Of the
document. The Filipinos have made
no definite proposition except for the
cessation of hostilities until they can
present the question of peace to the
people. Professor Schurman told the
Filipinos they had no means of gath
ering the people together, as the Ameri-
cans control most Of the ports. He
also reminded them that liberal form
of government was offered them, and
conditions existing under the Spanish
rule.
Gozaga, president of the Filipino
commission, replied that nothing could
be worse than Spanish rule and ad-
mitted that the form of government
proposed was liberal
The civil members OF the Filipino
commission have decided to cooperate
with the other members of that com
mission, as the former considered
Aguinaldo's latest demand to be pre-
posterous, after General Otis refusal
of an armistice, referring to his wish
for time in order to consult the Fill
pino congress.

NICARAGUAN CANAL.
Commission Reports the Great Waterway
Can be Built for $I26,ODO,OO0.

Washington, May 81. - The Near
aguan canal commission, Admiral
Walker, Colonel Haines and Mr. Haupt,
are understood at last to have settled
the previous disagreement which has
so long delayed the report of the com
mission and which for short time
threatened to make necessary the APP
pointment by the president of another
commission under the authority con
ferred by the last session of congress.
The compromise effected among
the commissioners results in their fix
ing the cost of the proposed waterway,
which is pronounced entire ely feasible,
at $l25, ,0o0, 900. 1t is believed the re.
port will be signed and delivered to
the president Immediately on his re-
turn from Hot Springs to Washington.
''The members of the commission
had agreed after the elaborate and
thorough consideration they have given
to the subject, and bel ieve that the
last objection to the beginning of the
interoceanic waterway had been swept
aside and that congress may be relied
upon to promptly author re the canals
construction.

AUTONOMY DESIRED.

Manila, May 23.-Autonomy is the
burden of the talk of the Filipinos. and
it is thought that the kind they wish
for would be little different from the
scheme of an American protectorate
which they talked OF before the war.
Senor Palermo, who has succeeded
the irreconciliable Mabina as president
OF the Filipino so-called cabinet. is a
student and writer of ability. He
once drew up a plan of autonomy
under Spain which the Spanish govern
ment promised to adopt, there then
being troublesome rebellion on foot.

ernment, have found several good
points in this scheme, Paterno Is now

An Indiana Judge Decides That Action
May be Brought.
Indianapolis, May 1e.-Judge Baker

rendered decision In which he holds
that the heirs of Marion Taylor, who
was lynched at Scottsburg several
months ago, had right Of action for
damages against the sheriff of the
county and his bondsmen. The decis-
ion was rendered on a motion to over
rule demurrer to the complaint. The

men were required to answer the com
which is for S25, 900 damages, is ex-
pected to come to trial in about thirty
days.
In holding that the sheriff is re-
sponsible for the prisoners In his care,
the court said, in part: III the law
imposes duty of care in respect TO
animals and goods which he takes into
his possession by virtue of his Office,
why should not the law impose the
duty of care upon him in respect 70
human beings who are in his custody
by virtue of his office? Is a helpless
prisoner, in the custody Of sheriff
| less entitled TO his care than bale OF
goods or a dumb beast? The law Is not
subject to any such reproach.
