TO PROTECT COTTON GROWERS
Ex-senator M. O. Butler Writes of the
Disparity Between Prices Q fsSManufac-
tured and Staple Cotton.

enough to eat at home and thus get
faaaeially strong enough to hold our
cotton, we could compel the buyers to
pay fair, remunerative price for it.,
and still leave fair margin Of profit
for the manufacturers. In 10 years
we would be the richest agricultural
people in the world. I am not un-
mindful of the fact that England +,
France, Germany, Spain and Russia
are scurryine all over the world to find
q place where they can produce cotton
in competition with us. AS yet they
have not found that place to any
alarming extent. And if shey should
discover it, it will require years for
development.
The demand for raw cotton is in
creasiag year by year, not only to be
manufactured into cloth, but for vari-
GUS other purposes, such as making
bed comforts, quilts, padding for
dresses, for use in naval and military
and other hospitals, for making gun
cotton, etc., etc. Irepeat, If we have
foresight and prudence enough to
make the greater part of our family
supplies at home and not walk into
the trap laid for US every fall by rush
ing our crops into market too fast, We
can command fair price for it. Will
we do it? On that subject am very
skeptical. The speculetors have no
teErors FOR me, if my crop belongs to
me-. The "bull" speoulators are, as
6 rule, on our side. II is the "beare"
and the manufacturers whom fear.

Silk Culture in Carolina.

We hope the county papers will

Miss Henrietta A. Kelly Of Charles.
ton. That the culture o. silk in this
section is practicable was long ago
fully demonstrated but for many years
no effort wes made 20 revive or cen
tinue the industry. Quite recently
the Japanese servants OF o gentleman
living in Beaufort have again proved
that silk can be profitably produced
here, the worms thriving on the food
that fourishes in this State. Miss
Kelly, with the cooperation Of the
United States agricultural department,
has made it possible for the test to be
easily and cheaply made by all persons
in the State having mulberry trees
the leaves Of these trees being the
silk worms food.
Silk culture is very profitable and is
or should be peculiarly attractive for
those persons Of industry but without
capital. 1t may be pursued on great
or small scale and there is certain sale
for the product. Like any other in
dustry, this one must be learned be-
fore success is attained. At times in.
telligent oh"ervation and attention are
required but there are thousands Of
women living on South Carolina
farms who would attain success if sue
cess is possible.
Miss Kelly offers to furnish the
best Italian silk worms, free of charge
to all those having food for them, and

other profitable industry-a notable

Drowning o Quick Death.
Edgedeld, Nay 2.

"The story frequently repeated
ahont professional divers vino nave
been able to remain under water FOR
over two minutes is silly" Dr. Jo-
seph Boehm tells me. "No one can
remain under water shat long without
drowning, whether they are trained
divers or not. At Navarino, where
the sponge divers are reported to be
able to remain under water three and
four minutes, tests were made re-
GENTLY and resulted in conclusively
proving that none Of them remained
down as long as minute and half.
Ninety seconds seems very long time
to the watcher ON shore and it is about
the limit of divers endurance under
water. At Ceylon, where timetests
were also made among the famous
pearl divers, it was ascertained that
few Of them remained below the sur
face as long as a. minute, and other
tests made on the Red sea among the
Arabs proved that minute and o
quarter was the longest they could en-
dure without fresh breath.

ner of Atlanta, Ga, at tcaighs's ses-
SIGN Of the African Methodist Epis-

Science," was the subject of the ad-
dress delivered by Bishop Turner,
which caused him to take up every
phase Of the negro question in this
country and led him to say that this
was not the negro's home, but on
the contrary that God had allowed
the negro to come to this country to
be enslaved in order that he could be
trained and go back to his native land
and make it what it should be. In
concluding his address Bishop Turner
said:
'"The supreme court Of the United
States is against US. We have good
friends in this country yet they are
comparatively few and the only thing
left for us to do is to leave. Let US be
men, let US go where We can be men.

Need American Cotton.

Pe-is, May 3.-Representative Of q
eyndicate OF cotton manufacturers
from Roubaix and Lille held @
meeting this week in tho Paris Cham
ber de Commerce to vote on the ques-
tion Of joining with English and Bel
gian manufacturers in . scheme to
suppress American speculation in cot
ton. The plan advanced was to dis.
cover somewhere on the globe q new
field for culture Of cotton.
CASTOR Sinette, leading manufac'
turer Of cotton goods in France, was
the chief speaker. He violently op
posed the plan for several excellent
reasons. He declared that the Sou
dan cotton was unfit for manufaotur
ing purposes and it could never come
into competition with the American
production. He said that nowhere il
the world can the equal Of the Amer
ican product be found and that n,
matter how far American speculation
might go, manufacturers on the con
tinent would be forced to accept th,
situation.
he said Q large amount Of capita
would be required for the project ant
that in the matter Of hard dollars the.
could never hope to compete with th
Americans. He ridiouled the ide,
that the association, with it's pun!
capital, could do what the millionail,
manufacturers had signally failed t,
accomplish.
After q stormy session the PROPOSE
tion to join with the British and Bel
gians was voted down By large ma
jority.

MYOMEps SUCCESS In ANDERSON.

No other medicine or treatment for

and remarkable success in Anderson
as Hyomei. The fact that Evans
Pharmacy when they first introduced
Hyosnei sold it under . positive guar.

successful introduction. A guarantee
from firm like Evans Pharmacy gave
people confidence at the start.
Those who obtained Hyomei out

few breaths Of Hyomei cleared the air

Developments in Railroad Circles.

0SVS4cpLlclto Ill Lvc1laA OSsu NAiSAOo
The Memphis, Indianola and Gull
Railroad Company, chartered several
months since to run railroad from
Memphis to the Gulf via Indianols
and Jackson, continues to show much
activity. Last week surveying parties
were camped in the southern part OF
Yazoo county, engaged in running
survey through that section toward
Jackson. Those interested in promot-
ing the line say it is being backed by
powerful railroad syndicate, and this
syndicate is understood to be the
Frisco. One OF the incorporators is
the attorney for the Frisco system at
Memphis. It is now believed in rail
road circles that this project is part
and parcel Of the same scheme that
is under way to build line from Hat
tiesburg to Pascagoula, connecting at
Hattiesburg with the Mississippi Cen
trail to Jackson to connect with the
Memphis, Indianola and Gulf. This
would make direct line through the
Delta from Memphis to Jackson, and
from Jackson to the coast through
the heart of the timber region, with

Two odd P1nce Names.

A correspondent of the Louis7illI
Courier-Journal gives an interesting
explanation of the origin of two queeI
names of places. The mountains OF
Kentucky afford many queer names Of
streams, peaks, towns and villages
but perhaps none are more remarkable
than Kingdom Come and Why Not
The first of these is the name of d
stream in Leslie County and is takeI
from the Lords Prayer. The seconi
is the name Of small postoffice in
county and originates from the VI
song, "Why Not To-night?" 1t is sait
that an interesting religious reyiva
was once held in this locality, at which
this song was sung a great deal, ani
the people became so carried away
with the music that the place was ever
afterward called Why Not.
