aud that We pledge ourselves III
uuion with all the cotton slates, IN
Cotton Growers Protective Associa-
llon and will work for our mutual
benefit, at the present time IN the
planting of this crop and in the
handling and ma ketiDg of our co..
t)n in the coming fall and that We
shall demand a just proportion OF
the profit derived from the sales. OF
our cotton, which is jastly due the
producer, a. it is the Souths product
and We should reap tie benefit flom
it's production and sale.
3rd. Thst these resolutions are
respectively submitted to all the
farmers Of our county, state and cot
ton states and to every class OF cltl,
zeus interested in the welfare of the
same, as our interests are the same
aud should be mutual and we solicit
hearty aud mutual cooperation in
their execution.
4b. That this County Cotton
Gr1wers' Protective Association, shall
meet from time to time, at the call ct
the President, to discuss and execute
such plans as We deem worthy Of
our attention aud what is to our
best interest.
The Atlanta Journal, Of recent
date, gave the following interesting
facts concerning the marketing OF
cotton aud the price in reference to
the crop raised:
Present ruling prices for cotton to
be delivered in the fall months will
not justify more than 6 or 81 cents
for the farmers. L. generally hap
pens that when 80 much cotton is
coming TO market in the fall months
prices shrink, so it is within the
range of possibilities to see 4cents
cotton again this fall, if the present
tendency Of prices be maintained.
Farmers should always remember
that:
tl;90O,000 bales at cents means
$275,000,U00.
100000 bales at 6 cents means
S3Oo,OOO,O00.
100000 bales at Z cents means
S315,000OOO.
100000 bales at 10 cents
means SlOO,00O,O00
The smaller the crop the better
are the returns per acre.
Spinners are reducing consump.
ton because they complain of slack
trade sui high prices for cotton.
LIST the farmer reduce his produc-
ton accordingly, aud in place of the
extra am punt of cotton let him
plant grain, potatoes, vegetables,
watermelons, cane, sorghum and
rice where possible.
D.versiication has already abund-
antly p.osered Southern farmers.
Keep it up.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
After quite seige of very change
able and dissgreeable weather,
Easter Sunday opens typical spring
day, aud the prophets tell us that
the course of the moon indicates
some warm sunny weather. We are
glad to hear this, and thankful to
the moon for bringing about this
much desired and needful change.
Farmers are greatly behind with
their work and everything will be
hustle and bury for the next few
weeks. Gardens are making quite
poor showing for this date. We
still have hopes Of fruit and what q
blessing it will be if our hopes are
realized.
Mr. Farrell Leitner, who has been
iu Augusta for some time, has re-
turned to Irmo. Mr.. ". D. Dtnt
and wife, of Brooklaud aud Mr. J.
D. Nunamaker, of Columbia, are
visiting parental home at Irmo.
Miss Tlllie NuDamaker, of Columbia
Female College, has been called
home to the bedside of her brother,
Mr.. T. n. Nunamaker, who is critic
ally i'll at the home of his father,
Mr.. I. q. Nluamaker. Mex Smith,
telegraph operator at White Ok,
S c., spent E.ster at home here.
Miss Blaucb Matthias and two Of her
school mates are paying few days
visit to tie home Of the former.
Mrs J. Z Butterwortb, formerly of
this place, but now of BAllentine, is
seriously i'll. Mr.. and Mrs. Boozer,
of Countsville neigbborbood, spent
Easter With Mr. and Mrs. E. F.
Meetze. AIr. Forrest Suber, of Co.
lumbis, also came up yesterday.
Mrs. G. NJ. and Mrs. Perry Bouk
night and others Of Nswberry are
visiting here, and there are still
others; but this shows what popu
lar little town is ours, and lest We
worry our readers We will pass on to
something else.
Our school being largely patron
lied by the surrounding country and
seedtiue being on hand, the patrons
and trustees assembled and discon-
tinued the school at this place till
about the first of July, at which time
it is expected that it will be reopen
ed. 1t is the intention Of our trus-
tees and patrons to enlarge and
otherwise improve our building 30
as to make it amply accommodating
and try to secure the services OF
competent and experienced male
teacher for principal and a lady
assistant that will be fully equal to
the requirements. We hops in this
wsy to run school on a much i'm
proved system, and thus greatly
reduce the necessity for sending our
children away from home to be edu-
Gated. n.

The Buffalo Exposition.

The Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo was opened to the pub
lie last Wednesday. In one re-
spect it is unique, being an exhi-
bition Of the products OF all Amer.
ica, instead OF all the nations oi the
world. In this respect it differs
from the Philadelphia Exposition
of 1876 and the Worlds FAIR at
Chicago in 1898. The Buffalo
Exposition has been prOj Ojected on
a large scale, despite the fact that
It is wholly New World" enter
prise. The buildings in size and
number will compare iavorably
with those OF the Worlds Fair at
Chicago, while the exhibits will
be Of an Interestingly varied char
acter. The manag agers promise that
visitors will be able to study the
natural products and the social
and industrial conditions which
prevail from Hudson Bay to Cape
Horn" Surely this should prove
an attractive and instructive study
tor all Americans. When the
formal opening lakes place on May
20 the Pan-American Exposition
will in every way, it is believed,
be worthy OF the enterprise Of its
projectors. Buffalo will be visited
by hundreds of thousands OF Amer
leans this summer, all Of whom
will extend in advance their con-
gratulations to the managers Of the
All America Exposition and their
best wishes.

william Poulton,

a liquor dealer, was fined $50 by
Judge Kimball last Wednesday.
Mr.. Poulton was advised by his
friends to ask for jury trial, but
refused to do so on the ground
that there was no case against him
and that he could easily satisfy the
Judge that he had not violated the
law.
When Mr.. Poulton took the
stand he testified to the effect that
he had closed his place Of business
at II.4s p IN, because business was
dull; that he then turned in his
cash register, that no one but the
bartender and himself were in the
saloon, and that when he started
to leave the place to catch car he
was COM elled on account Of the
rain 70 stand in the doorway, until
a car came by. That il it was a
fe " minutes over time he certainly
had no intention oi violating the
law. he police testified to about
the same thing. In spite Of the
extenuating circumstances in the
case Judge Kimball was not lem
lent, and fined Mr.. Poulton $50.

Wine or Beer.

1t is expected that the cruiser
Milwaukee now in process Of con-
struction in California, will be
ready to take to the water in from
eighteen months to two years. A
good while off, but Milwaukee al
ready has cause to take anxious
thought about the launching. Mr.
Irving M. Scott, Vice President Of
the Union Iron works OF San Fran
cisco, has written to Mayor Rose
OF Milwaukee in regard to the pro
gramme Of the launching. He
asks the Mayor to select in good
time a Milwaukee young woman
to name the vessel and party OF
Milwaukeeans to 90 with her to
the Pacific coast; and he insists
that the bottle to be broken over
the Milwaukee's bows contain Cal
iiornia champagne.
This seems a reasonable request,
A California built boat should be
bedewed with California cham
pagne. The wine OF the country
for the ships Of the country. In
fact, American champ agne and no
other should be used whenever
American ships take their irst dip.
But champagne and Milwaukee
seem a little antipathetiC. Beer is
the wine Of Milwaukee; and what
ever else great and good that town
may hold, its best hold is beer.
The head is not more native to the
heart than beer to Milwaukee and
Milwaukee 10 beer. Clearly bot
tie Of California champagne is due
20 the cruiser Milwaukee. As a
matter Of courtesy, if not Of right,
should not a bottle or a stein oi
Milwaukee beer be allowed to fol-
low the champagne7 Thus both
California and Milwaukee can be-
stow their blessing upon the young
boat Mayor Rose can be de-
pended upon to plead in behalf ol
the patriotism and good customs
Of his city; aud Mr.. Scott is no
man OF iron because he happens to
be in the iron business. Mr.. Rose
has or must find eloquence. Mr..
Scott is not without bowels. Cal
iiornia and Milwaukee will toast
each other, each in its own spec
ialty, and precedents may 60 hang.

A Surprise for New York Bre wors

A Surprise for New York Bre wers,
Under the impression, doubtless,
that brewers don't know what's
good for them, the Ltqnoy Trades
and H0tEL ReVisaO, of New York,
rushes to their aid with the follow
ing announcement:
It is the intention Of the Liquor
Trades and Hotel RsUfsW to have
introduced at the next session of the
IN. VI Legislature pure beer law that
will in every particular meet the require
ments OF the brewers, retailers and the
public.
Brewers will appreciate this dis
intereste dness and help the cause
along. To be assured Of bill that
will satisfy everyone is certainly
pleasing. The information lacks
one essential particular in that It
does not specify the cost to the
brewer. Missouri taxes the busi-
ness 20 cents a barrel for inspection
and Michigan is pushing a bill
which calls for 81 cents. New
York surely will not ask for less
than as Even if it does not be-
come a law, it may have the effect
OF encouraging similar legislation
in other States with better chances
Of success than in New York.
Blackmailers will appreciate
such kindness; brewers should
also-as it deserves.

Street Extension

The Supreme Court decision in
the street extension case is a source
OF satisfaction for one reason, viz,
because it lifts the closd that has
hung like a pail over all property
affected by the provisions OF the
street extension I Il. The decision
sustains the low er court in holding
that assessments for benefits are
legal, thus putting one. half the
cost OF the work on abu ting prop
erty holders. This feature is very
unsatisfactory, but unfortunately
there is no remedy. Congress did
not deal justly with our people
when it enabled the Government
to evade its obligations in the case.

Brewers Association has offered
first prize Of s37s and a second
prize Of SIas for the best mixture

Brewers should Remember.

A decision OF great value to brewers
was the one made by the Internal Rev
enue Department, at the suggestion of
Mr.. LOUIS Schade, Of the WAsHINGToN
SENTINEL, allowing steam pipe connec.
tion between the brewery and bottling
house. The decision was worth thou
sands Of dollars to the trade.
When placing their advertising
patronage brewers should bear this in
mind and send an order to the WASH
IEGToN SENTINEL.

Judge Ktmban OverruIed

The Court Of Appeals has
granted a writ Of certiorari in the
case oil Timothy Sullivan, charged
with violation OF the Sunday laws.
This means that Judge Kimball's
refusal to gran: a new trial has
been overruled and the case will
now 60 before the Court of APP
peals for a rehearing. The evil
dence in the case, as was shown in
the last edition OF the SENTINEL,
did not justify Kimbal's action.
In the Lehman case the Court
has also decided, on a writ OF
error, to have the case reopened.
