People will talk these warm day

they talk m ost about those things
which they do not comprehend.
One of these knowing ones said a

Congress next year. There are
possible candidates in Fairfield

which Irby crawled after his last

Congressman Wilson, who has such
a strong hold on the district from
the head of the Congaree Canal
to the western corner of
Greenville county. Said he;
"Oh, Wilson is slated fer Governor.

to favor the round bale, and have
offered bonus on cotton so
packed.
On the contrary the great Greek
firm, Ralli Brothers, of New York,
London and other cities, ls fighting
the round bale.
Is. representative of the firm
said recently that so per cent of
the ginboxes had been conformed
to the new standard size for the
square bale, and that the Texas
Maritime Association had given
a differential of 10 cents per
hun dred pounds on ocean frelghts
in favor of this bale.
No doubt this is and arrnage-
ment to offset the large bonus
offered by American houses for
cotton packed in round bales.
The round bale people on the
contrary are claiming that the air
is pressed cut of their bale, and
there is not enough oxygen left in
it to keep up smcldering fire.
Boil sides claim the advantage
in handling. The round bale
people because of a smaller and
more compact package, and the
square bale people because they
say cotton at the ship side is
handled by machinery, and a
5O0-pound bale can be handled as
quickly as one weighing 250.
The square bale people are also
trying to prove that the round lie
concern is in violation of the new
Texas antitrust law. In this
state of agitation in cotton circles
the public will look with interest
for the survival of the fittest

Speaking of a late shipment of
sowpaw received at the Geenville,
S. c., dispensary. The News says;
1t was the ugliest, dirtiest look
ing and tasting 'rat juice" that
ever defled the system of a Pal
metto rumsucker. A filthy nedi-
ment was at the bottom of each
bottle. When the bottom was
turned up to view the sediment
drifted through the whiskey and
the scene looked like a cross be-
tween a rainfall of cats and dogs
and a comic picture of a cyclone.
Each bottle appeared to contain
several cases of delirium tremens,

turbed sediment was calculated to

The roads are sill good, but the
rice fields adjoining them are pools

The Filipinos will not fight
unless they can meet our troops in
positions most advantageous to
themselves or take our reconnoiter-
ing bodies in ambush.
1t is impossible. to learn what
effect the recent defeat has had
upon their leaders. This should
be disheartening, for they had
boasted that the Americans could
never coquer the province Of Cavite,
Aguinaldo's home country, VIII ere
he always worsted the Spaniards.
Gen. Otis recently received a
letter signed by native women of
the province declaring that, if all
the men were killed, the women
would still keep up the fight against
the Americans.
Copies of the lnsurgent organ,
Independence, show that the
Filipinos hopes Of success are
kept afame by political movements
in America. The Independence
prints of alleged speeches made at
alleged meetings in the United
States denoucing the war, and it
asserts that these represent the
dominant American sentiment. It
declares lso that the Filipinos
will continue the war until the next
presidential campaign, which is
''sure to result in a decision to
withdraw the American troops
from the Philippines
1t is reported that the Spanish
garrison at Baler, in the province
of Principe, on the cost coast of
Luzon, which had become reduced
to 30 men, finally surrendered to
the Filipinos after holding out for
year.
The Filipinos imprisoned two
Englishmen at Tach]bon, on the
island of Samara about east of
Luzon. The British first class
cruiser Grafton steamed to that
point from Cebu and her COM
mander demanded their release.
When this was refused he landed
a force Of marines and cleared his
ship for action, whereupon the
Englishmen were handed over.

WHAT THE S. G. CT. TEACR-
ERS ARE DOING AT
WINTHROP.

The South Carolina Co-Educa-
tional Institute always keeps up
with the times. This is proved by
the fact that eleven of the S. G. G.
I. teachers are now attending and
taking special courses in the State
Summer School at Rock Hill. Our
college is more largely represented
than any college IN the State. 1t
is the policy of President Bailey to
urge and in some cases require his
assistant teachers to spend at least
one month during the summer IN
some prominent summer school.
In this way the S. C. G. l. teachers
keep up with the procession and
make themselves familiar with
the best and latest methods of
teaching.
Mrs. Bailey is taking a special
graduates course in music under
that master musician Prof. wade
Brown. Miss Bailey is taking a
special course in vocal music un-
der Mrs. Wade Brown, who is
recognized as one of the best vocal
teachers in the South. Capt, Cain
is taking special courses in school
management, physics and astron-
omy. This is the second time
Capt. Cain has taken special
course in some of these branches
Prof. Entzminger is brushing mp
on higher mathematics, and will
be better prepared than ever to
hold up this department in Our
college. Miss Davis and Miss EN-
Williams are both studying the
latest and most improved methods
in primary work. Rev. R. W, An
derson and Rev. P. P. Blalock are
taking advanced courses in psy-
chology and higher English: Prof.
w. o. Cain, who is already we'll
up in chemistry, spends five hours
a day in the college laboratory
making experiments in this de-
lightful branch of science. He
has made special arrangements
with the famous Dr.> Byers, of
Chicago to give him (Prof. CAIN }
private instruction daily. Dr..
Byers is at the head of this depart
ment in the Summer School. Pres
ident Bailey completed in the New
York Normal several years ago a
special course in school manage
ment, but he is again pursuing this
very Important branch of study.

Injustice To Batesburg.

false rumor which has Unnecessarily
and unjustly injured. the business
of this town. There is no epidemic
of ofsmall qox here, only one case of
very mild "varioloid" and two
cases of smallpox convalescent,
and the two latter are being held
by me at smallpox camp until the
patients have passed through the
period of desquamation or
Sealing off period in order to
be dismissed.
All three Of these parties are
under guard at smallpox camp,
which is an isolated place in the
woods. All exposed persons have
been detained under quarall-
tine for 16 to 81 days. Their
clothing and person is disinfected
and the person uaccinated. Nearly
at the white people and quite a
large number of the colored people
were vaccinated when [ reached
here. l have vaccinated and re-
vaccinated about 500 colored people
ard a few whites; so that the
entire population almost has been
rendered immune. We are still
vaccinating and re-vaccinatirg,
and am inspecting the place for
suspicious cases. The city and
tho writer have adopted a
systematic plan of operation, and
it now looks like all danger Of Il
further spread has passed.
Leesvile and Batesburg have
taken off the quarantine against
each other, and Johnston has also
withdrawn Its quantine. The
people of this town have been
anxious to be vaccinated, aud there
has been united effort TO stamp
out the disease. | found that
systematic and proper steps had
