Spring in the PaIOuse

Spring wheat is practicaIIy at in The
ground, and in the earlier sections OF
the southern and western part of the
country is growing finely. There has
never before been a brighter prospect for
a wheat crop at this season of the year,
both in fall and spring sown. The fall
wheat is making a splendid growth
having passed safely through all winter
freezes and spring frosts. The orchards
of the lower attitudes have been in bloom
for two weeks and are untouched by
frOsts. The trees at Colfax, 1860 feet
above the sea, are leafng out, and the
bushes are in full leaf. The weather is
beautiful and roads good.

Wild Cayuses

Der of local rough riders and covered
the bluffs from opposite Lewiston to
StPptOe landing. 1t was hard work for
men and horses, and when the large herd
started down the narrow defle at Evans
bar, something frightened them and they
stampeded back for the bluffs. The cav
uses were wild as coyotes, and the riders
on their tired horses couldn't hold them.
Most of the herd got away, but 100
were landed safely in the corral These
horses are to be shipped to Chicago
Two agents have been here and con
tracted for ten carloads and will prob
ably want as many more. The roundup
will be held over again in few DAYS
when a larger number of riders will par.

Accepting the view OF Judge Gary that slav-
ery destroyed the equilibrium between the
North and the South. 1t may be also assumed
that the disfranchisement of the negro again
disturbs the equilibrium in politics, we
may not be surprised II successful effort Is
made to reduce the representation In Congress
In proportion as the negroes are excluded
from the polls, for effort along this line is
already being made In the House, with some
degree Of evidence that the movement may
succeed.
II the reduction Of the number Of our Con-
gressmen would bring peace between the Sec
tions, this newspaper would not object to the
proposed scheme. The scheme seems to be
fair and just.
Where all the States are placed on the same
basis, when the same laws apply alike to all
the States and when Congressman are elected
under the same rules. 1t seems to us, all cause
Of sectional hatred will be removed. The
South should be placed upon exact equality
with the North.
Except in q matter OF sectional legislation.
South Carolina would be as we'll served By
three Representatives., as she is now served by
seven. The Democratic party Is sectional IN
its feelings. And 1t is sectional in It's feelings
because Of environment.
Slavery, as Judge Gary truly says, disturbed
the equilibrium before the war. II is equally
true, that the disfranchisement Of the negro
has disturbed the equilibrium since the war.
And In the matter of representa- sooner
or later the differences will be equalized.
This newspaper believes that majority OF
our Representatives in Congress are worth
very little, except to increase the minority
vote on important questions.

A Cura For Pneumonia.

Take six to ten onions, according to
size. and chop fine, put in large
spider over hot fire; then add about
the same quantity of rye meal and VIM
egar enough to make thick paste.
In the meanwhile stir thoroughly, let
ting it simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put In cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to. the
chest as hot as the patient can bear.
When this gets cool apply another.
and thus continue by reheatlng the
poultices, and in few hours the pa
tient will be out of danger. This
fatal remedy has never failed in this too
often malady. Usually three or four
applications will be sufficient, but con-
tinue always until persipiration starts
freely from the chest. This simple
remedy, says the New England Gro
Ger, was formulated many years ago
by one of the best physicions New
England has ever known, who has
never lost q patient by that disease,
and won his own renown by saving
persons by simple remedies after the
best medical talent bad pronounced
their cases hopeless. Personally, we
know of three persons who were saved
by this remedy last winter In Boston,
after their physicians had given them
up to die; and if record was made OF
all similar cases during the last six
years, it would fill q good sized vol
ume.-The Worlds Progress.

Storing Cotton.

As rule, the Press and Banner believes
that It is better to Rell cotton as 1t comes on
the market, but 1t seems that those who held
their cotton this year will make handsome
profit by 80 doing. 1t is estimated that one
man has made $500 by storing his cotton.
But the mind Of this editor Is clear on the
subject OF storing cotton under q tree. 1t lie
true the outlay In cash Is nothing when stored
under q tree, but the incidental trouble and
depreciation Of sample is great indeed. Un-
der tree the cotton must be often turned so
as to absorb the water evenly. II more water
is taken in on top the sides and the bottom
may not have an even chance to mildew and
rot. We all know that bale Of cotton Is
bought by the poorest sample. A farmer then
who has only one side OF his bale injured
loses heavily in selling good cotton on one
side OF the bale at the same price that he
must take for the injured side. Another con-
sideration to be thought OF In connection
with storing cotton under a tree Is the danger
or the risk from fire.
But the better method, II you are going to
hold your cotton Is, 70 put 1t In a warehouse.
where small charge covers storage and In.
surance. While We are opposed to the habit
OF storing cotton, yet We are very glad to note
the fact that those who have stored In the Alb
beville Warehouse, have made money by the
increase in the price Of cotton. They are now
q long way ahead. But there is no telling
what win be the end. Either sell your cotton
or put 1t In warehouse where 1t will be safe
from damage by the weather and loss by hre.

The buildings for the Wood Mill are pro-

More Rapid Roads to Riches.

Miller's $40 per cent. per annum con-
fidence game finds parallel in that of
"McCauley g. Co." Their prospectus
told of SO IL per cent. per month paid
during "the two dull summer months"
and of 1914 IL per cent. profit paid to
clients since Jan. l, 1901" McCauley
Is under arrest and may be sent to join
Miller. But there seems to be little
hope that the victims of one of these
get-rich. quick swindles will ever serve
as an effective warning against others
of the same general character.
Down in South Carolina q "cherry
tree. endless chain" scheme has just
come to light which is catching simple
tons and their money by hundreds
daily. The company extensively ad-
vertises a guarantee of "permanent em.
ployment" at $40 per month to girls.
All they have to do is to send $l2 In
cash payment for sixty cherry trees at
20 cents tree and then send five let
tiers each day to other girls recommend
ing them to send along $l2 and get the
same "permanent employment" Over
one hundred girls and ST., 200 in cash
are, it il said, being gathered in every
day'by this "cherry tree" enterprise.
And the $12 deposit made by each new
applicant will obviously keep the con-
cern going for long time. :.

Senatorial Resignation.

Senator Tillman for some reason is anxious
to precipitate vote in reference to the Sena-
tors. IfMr. Tillman is 30 satisfied that Nc
Laurln will be defeated. he need not bother
himself Ifhe has any doubts as to whether
he will be again elected he can wait for the
regular election. =.
It is true. however. that the principle for
which McLaurine Stands Is gaining In public
favor, and we believe that 1t ia equally true
that TIllman personally is losing in popular
favor. OF course this is mere matter Of opin
ion. The next election will prove all things
and people and Senators can we'll afford to
wait the proper time.
If Senator Tillman would devote his ener-
gy and ability TO the service OF his people
more than to the venting Of personal spleen
against his colleague his constituents might
be better served.

Whatever may be his faults, 1t Is certain
that no man In South Carolina has been more
honest or more patriotic than John L. Nc
