Our United States Senators.

Since Wade Hampton led til,
Democrats of this State to victory il
10, we have had various Senators in
Washington.
Senator Butler served his country
well in settling disputed questions
and in securing rights for his con.
stituents. And he received the well
done of his countrymen.
Wade Hampton was rewarded by
seat in the Senate because of his
splendid service in redeeming the
State. In Washington he did moth
ing. But the people love him yet.
Benjamin r. Tillman, like Wade
Hampton, was sent to the Senate
because of valuable, or appreciated
service to the State. That service
consisted in building Clemson College
for boys and Winthrop College sfol
girls. His work in the curtailment
of the sale of whiskey, as determined
by the dispensary law, was his crown
ing act, for which temperance people
will ever feel grateful, and for which
the saloon men will, ever hate him.
In Washington he has done little,
except to stir up the animals. His
influence for the good of the State is
nominal.
John l.. McLaurin was sent to
Congress because of his ability, and
because it was thought he would be
an honor to the State, as he has
been. He voted for the Paris treaty
of peace. Although his act had
Democratic precedent for a hundred
years. yet the populistio element OF
the party had prevailed on the party
to vote against everything the Re-
publicans voted for. This act ei
McLaurin's brought down the male
ditions of Tillman and his followers.
McLaurin's influence at Washington,
and Tillman's lack of influence at
the National Capital it is thought
will be McLaurin's undoing.
Tillman's failure to influence the
administration in behalf of his con-
stituents has made him more popular
with his people, while McLaurin's
ability to get good things for his
people seems to be the main source
of his weakness at home.
McLaurin's influence at Washing
ton appears to have made him the
subject of the hatred of, all the less
influential representatives in WASH
ington. McLaurin having gotten
more, favors from the administration
than all the other South Carolina
Congressman, t" turned against
thim, knowing tn :, could do but little,
resolved not to apply to the dispen-
sing power for favors which they
could not get. Possibly a case of
sour grapes. But sour grapes or
otherwise, what use can man be to
his constituents if he cannot or will
not, get favors from Washington.
We have no other place to look for
good gifts.-Abbeville Press and

SOMETHING ABOUT corroa SEED,
Nal. Harry Hammond Reviews the History Of
this Product.
lAiken Journal and Review. ]

lAlken journal and Review.
While cotton-growers are COM
planning, often justly, of the many
,,hardships and burdens imposed on
them, there is one bright spot to
which l wish to call attention, as it
seems to have escaped notice.
allude to the extraordinary rise
in the value and price of cotton seed.
1t is creation of these latter days.
Before the time of oil mills and con-
solidated ginneries the small cotton
grower gave his seed for ginning his
cotton and paid in addition for his
bagging and tires now he has his
cotton ginned, (more quickly and
better than formerly,) has hagging
and tires furnished him and receives
from 50 to "a for the seed from his
bale.
Little seed was sold in the old
days. Once there was an unusual
demand for several thousand bushels
to be sent to India for planting.
Twelve cents bushel Qess than $S
a ton) was offered and there was a
rush from every quarter to supply
the demand.
The wiser and wealthier cotton
growers of to-day (of course grown
wealthier only through increase in
wisdom versus the lower price of
cotton) are unwilling to part with
their seed at twenty-seveD cents a
bushels. They perfer as of old to
put them in the ground as manure.
The oil mills have recently offered
1900 pounds Of meal for ton of cot
ton seed with no takers. Now cotton
seed meal is worth to-day in the
markets of the world (say New York
where corn is 699 cents bushel)
$50 a ton and upward for stock feed.
The average amount of cotton seed
used as fertilizer is 25 bushels per
acre, rather more than less. For this
the mills offer as above shown 562
pounds of meal worth for stock feed
$8.43. If converted into corn at the
New York market price it amounts
to IL bushels of corn Ga mans rations
for a year) and worth to-day in the
cotton field $12.
1t may be asked why in this sea-
son, when there is an unprecedented
scarcity of corn with the worst pros.
pect ever known for the cotton grow
ers, do not feed this meal, equivalent
in value to IL bushels of corn To
their starving stock and save the
manure $50 to 80 per cent of the or
iginal yalue) for fertilizing their cot
ton. Saw mill men and cattle raisers
everywhere are feeding it and the
hulls with good results and at great
saving. The cotton growers think
they know better. Their trouble
they believe comes from the monop-
oily enjoyed by the consolidated oil
mills and ginneries. They propose
to lay taxes on themselves and their
neighbors to fee lawyers to fight
these concerns. They feel sure that
the money 80 expended will be re-
refunded when cotton seed is pro-
tected from this ruinous conversion
into oil for human food and into
hulls for the feed of stock. 1t is
their business. The writer who has
not an interest of five cents in any
oil mill or ginnery does not pre-
tend to advise. Harry Hammond.

A Blessing In Disguise.

When Bermuda grass made its
appearance in Georgia-it was a most
unwelcome visitor.
Our formers did not believe that
it was good for anything and observ-
ing how rapidly it spread they be-
came greatly alarmed. Many of
them tried to exterminate this new
grass and were deeply disappointed
when they found that it defied their
most determined attacks.
They finally accepted Bermuda
grass as visitation of a chastening
Providence and prayed that it might
not prove such terrible calamity as
they anticipated.
To-day Georgia could afford to
pay many millions of dollars rather
than part with Bermuda grass. 1t
is worth vast amount of money to
this State and is becoming more
valuable every year.
The Augusta Chronicle quotes
Prof. S. M. Tracey, an agricultural
expert as saying:
81 have been over large portion
of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi,
the region where the drought has
been most severe, and find the Ber-
muda pastures the only ones which
are able to furnish forage after six
weeks of scorching sun. In fact, the
drought-resisting characteristics of
the Bermuda constitutes one of it's
chief values in all regions subject to
severe summer drought. 1t is the
foundation of every really good pas.
ture throughout the entire Gulf
States region.
cit is essentially rich land grass,
and nowhere in the world does it
succeed better than on the black
prairie region of Northeast Missis-
sippi, the creek and river bottom
lands in the central part of the State
and on the moist alluvial lands of
the delta.
Gin careful feeding tests made at
the State experiment station, Ber-
muda was found to be about 8 per
cent more valuable than the best
timothy. hay for both mules and
cattle. Its yield exceeds that of any
other grass-making hay Of equally
good quality, and its thrifty growth,
where properly cared for, has
changed many Mississippi counties
from importers to exporters of mules.
"The rapidly-growing apprecia-
tion of its value is doing more than
any other one thing to develop the
live stock. industry of the State.
The Bermuda fields of Mississippi
will soon rival the famous blue grass
regions of Kentucky"
A like opinion of the value of
Bermpda grass has been given by
many agricultural scientists. 1t has
received still better endorsement
by the farmers of Georgia and the
other Southern States to which this
once despised and dreaded grass has
brought immense benefits. What
we in our ignorance regarded as a
curse nc: very long ago we now
recognize as one of the greatest
blessings that has befallen our coup-
try. Long live and wave the glor-
ious Bermuda grass which clothes so

Father II, @. Gauss TO Publish hymual.
First Official Publication Of the Kind to be
the Work OF Well Known Carlisle Priest.

The first Official Catholic hymnsl in
the world VIII be issued within as
short a time as Is possible and Will be
the joint work OF Rev. DIR. II. G..
Ganss, until recently rector of St.
Patrick's Catholic church, Carlisle;
Monseigneur Loughlin, an officer in
the household of Archbishop Ryan of
Philadelphia, and prominent in the
Catholic schools of the archdiocese,
and Rev. DR.. Henry, principal of the
Catholic high school, of Philadelphia.
A number of hymnals have been
used by the Catholic churches OF
various sections of this country, but
none has ever been made official, nor
has any been published for the gen.
eral use in all parts of the country.
This is practically the only nation in
the world in which the Catholics use
such music, and the desirability Of
having an official and uniform hymnal
for use throughout the United States
has been thought of for some time
past,
1t was quite recently decided to
have such book published and the
three prominent priests mentioned
were assigned TO the work. The
writing of the words OF the hymns will
be in charge Of Monselgneur Loughlin
and DR.. Henry while the music will
be composed for the greater part by
DR.. Ganss.
Father Ganss, who is one of the
best known priests Of that diocese, is
internationally known because of his
musical compositions. He has writ
ten five complete masses which have
attracted attention from composers OF
note, and has also composed several
hundred other works. He has also
made collection of musical works
which is said to be the largest and
best of any private collections in this
state.
Father Ganss was recently appoint
ed general secretary Of the Catholic
Indian schools of the country. This
appointment will not, however, inter
fere with his work on the Catholic
hymnai. This work will require a
long time and the time of publication
is not at all certain.

The House of Representatives de-
voted itself TUESDAY. Wednesday and
Thurs lay to the consideration of the
Hepburn Nicaraguau Canal bill and
after az address winch was made by
Mr.. Hepburn spirited and inter-
esting discussion followed in which
the Speaker was piled with questions.
The discussion developed that the
State Department was expecting to
pay to Nicaragua and Costa Rica the
sums of $s,ooo,ooo and $1,000, 900
respectively for the rights in their
territory. 1t also developed that the
Panama route had many friends in
Congress. 1t is predicted by some
that no definite legislation will be
enacted during this session of Con-
gress but the active interest displayed
yesterday, and which was evident by
the conversation in the Senate com
mittee rooms after that body had ad.
journed, would dscredit the report.
There is no lack of political or oil

interoceanic canal in his pocket and

doubt that he is duly accredited both
by the Company and his Government
to sell the canal. Mr.. Lampre ha
made no effort to see anyone on th,
subject except Admiral Walker. Thi
