pass that it would be impossible to

These are some Of the things that the leaders
in every rural neighborhood should set themselves
to bring about. Talk them over with your
neighbors; get them acquainted with the merits
of the several measures, and then proceed to ac-

hard to get. It will give The Progressive Farmer

Why not begin right now to wage a campaign

THIS WEEKS PAPER-sOME RANDOM COM
MEN

Entomologist Sherman is merely clearing the
way for his future articles on insect pests. Our
farmers lose heavily every year by insect ravages,
and Mr.. Sherman's letters cannot fail to be help
fui to those whose crops and orchards have suf-
fered.
The corn planting season is now at hand and
this lends timeliness to Mr.. c.. B. Williams letter
on the variety tests on North Carolina soils and
the best ways of buying. His advice to buy only
in the ear should never be forgotten. 1t
is the only way in which the buyer has a
chance to protect himself against fraud. Next
week Mr.. Williams will present an illustrate
ed article of great practical value on the selection
of seed corn in the crib-size and shape of ear
to select, size and shape of grain, size of cob,
what part of ear seed should be taken from,
etc.
Among our other agricultural articles, are
reports of the progress of farm work in the noun
tains and on the coast; a timely warming against
rushing into the fields before the ground dries
off; an especially striking article by DR.. Burkett
on the waste in using cottonseed meal as a fer
tiliZer only instead of first as a feed and then as
a fertilizer; and an expert dairyman's protest
against some cold fogy' practices in managing
cows. We join I'D. c." in the request that DR..
Butler give our readers a series of articles on the
common diseases of live stock.
Over on our Social Chat page is one of the
most valuable articles in this number, DR.. II. f.
trecman's letter on a well-house for keeping milk
and butter and fresh meats in summer. 1t is a
convenience that no home should be without,
and we hope that the good women who read the
article will not let their husbands rest until more
OF these well-houses are built. There are other
valuable features of this number, but we haven't
space to notice them here. All in all, we are sure
the reader will get his two cents worth-the paper
by the year costs a little less than two cents a
week. And remember that you can't afford to do
without the paper and we can't afford to do with
out the two cents.

To Annex Panama.

The country need not be surprised at the
obstruction methods Of Democrats in Wash
ington. but the bill Of Senator Morgan of Al
ALBANIA to annex the new republic OF Panams
TO this country Is q sumner and takes oul
breath. The proposition is better than We
could have done ourself
At this distance his proposition seems to be
the solution OF the canal question. He would
give to Colombia fifteen millions of consoa
ton money. Would give Panama slO,OO0,O ,OO(
and would appropriate money TO buy out the
French stock holders in the bankrupt cana
company.
AS far as we are able to see. Senator Nor.
gans plan is all right, and should have the
support OF the Washington govern ment from
start to finish.
In case the canal treaty should be defeated
by the obstrictionists, whether they belong
to the Democratic or Republican party, the
next best thing for this country is war with
Colombia. In that event. Colombia and Pan
anna might be annexed. With the return ol
peace and the establishment Of stable gov
eminent in the region of the canal routes, q
canal would be built, which would benefit
the world. Safe and stable government
would bring peace and prosperity to all the
territory so annexed.
The situation is resolved into this:
First-The ratification or the defeat OF the
canal treaty.
Second-In case OF defeat the adoption OF
Senator Morgan's bill.
Third-Wsr with Columbia, which will re-
suit in our obtaining all the territory and all
the csnal rights that may be needed.

The Peoples Savings Bank.

The Peoples Savings Bank is getting ready
for business. A fine burglar proof safe o.

now building the vault for its reception.
The office will be in front of the storeroom
formerly occupied by Mr.. Jones F. Miller In

economy in the management Of the bank.
Mr.. r. E. Cox, the cashier, is now County
Auditor. and will, at the proper time, resign
the Auditors office. so that aspirants for the
place may be preparing themselves for the
fray.
The Governor will likely appoint Mr.. Rich.
ard Sondley to fill the unexpired term. The
people In the primary election may suggest TO
the Governor their wishes in the matter.
Mr.. Cox has been for many years a most
useful assistant In many matters In the Court
House, and as an adviser with all who have
sought his opinion. he has been safe coun-
sellor. In his new position he will no doubt
be equally as efficient and courteous.

The Panama Canal.

In act Democratic Senators seem to be
faithfully and persistently opposing the Pan.
anna canal, while all the time in their talk
proolsiming great friendship for and Interest
In the canal. That is our Interpretation oi
the situation.
A caucus was held last Saturday for the pur'
pose OF binding such Senators to the defeat oI
the canal as were looking to the interest Of
the country.
For some reason, the caucus did not take
decisive action. At this distance, 1t may moi
be known why action was postponed. But !,
is fair to presume that at least some Of the
Senators refused to delegate their consciences
and their votes to the majority.
The building Of the canal, like appropria.
tions to the Improvement of hsrbors and riv-
ers, Is not a question Of politics, and why
Democratic Senators should put themselves
on record as obstructionists when the public
welfare is at stake has not been explained ex.
cept In the puerile and the childish claim o
being possessed Of higher honor than others
The course now being pursued in Washing
ton would seem to assure the defeat OF the
Democratic party next Fall. Should 1t be
possible for the Democrats to defeat the
canal, they will deserve the defeat which is
sure to come.
II the canal is defeated, then Billy Bryan Is
the man to lead the Democrats. He has sue
cessfully brought defeat twice, and We know
ofno one who could be more safely relied
upon to bring about the discontinue of the
Democratic hosts In the coming campaign.
The country will hardly put confidence in
political party that is on record as being op'
posed to the material interests Of the people

Scared.

News Of the fact that more than 200 bales o.
cotton were sold on our streets last Monday
for fifteen cents must have gone abroad, and
scared our people in their boots. Cotton began
to come in early on Tuesday, and before noon
the wagons brought in from the country over
one hundred bales. The anxiety OF buyers
was 30 great that they run the price up tc
1875 cents.
This large lot of cotton for this season had
been stored under trees and in wood sheds, OF
other insecure or unsafe places. They had
not stored It In the warehouse.
This lot OF cotton was in the hands of the
farmers, even as were the 2l9 bales that were
taken ont OF the warehouse on Monday. In
two days Abbeville has put more than 8Ot
bales on the market. This cotton was saved
by our farmers to raise money whenever they
might feel inclined 10 handle little of the
ready cash.
II all the other little towns put on the mar
ket az much cotton as Abbeville has done In
two days, the market will be glutted, and the
prices that went up like rocket will come
down like strike.

At Fifteen Cents.

Last Monday Mr.. r. NJ: Hill bought from
storage in the Abbeville Warehouse l75 bales
of cotton at Is cents.
Mr.. T. P. Quarles bought on the same day
81 bales from owners who had held their cot
ton at home, paying the same price-l5 cents.
When the cotton was being transferred, the
trade of course caused comment, when a
bystander suggested that he believed cotton
would reach Is cents. Mr.. Hill, as sort OF
consolation to those who had just sold, as
we'll as q comfort 10 those who sold last sum-
mer at cents. replied: "Oh, yes, think IL
will 90 to Is cents" Whether Mr.. Hill meant
it or not, the look on the bystanders might
have suggested almost any old thing. When
q man sells cotton, he involuntarily con.
cludes that the buyer knows great deal, OF
which the great mass Of us are Ignorant. But
there are things In the cotton market which
even an editor does not know, to say nothing
Of q cotton buyer.
As rule, editors are ever ready to give ad-
vice about how farmers may get rich. They
even can tell farmers whether to sell or TO
hold their crops. But there is one editor In
all this land that will be very careful how be
assumes to advise anybody. When man
sells 15-cents cotton at Scents, his advise isn't
worth much. This editor has had all the con-
ceit knocked out Of him, and is now IN no
danger OF Offering advice on any subject All
that he could possibly say In the future Is
that he would do 80 and so, and, remember
ing how we sold cotton at cents. the farmer
can straightway do any other way than that
which we would do.
But all this aside. The Warehouse has
proved OF great value to the people who have
stored cotton. It is notable fact that, as lai
az we have been informed, every customer Of
the Warehouse has been pleased with bis
treatment, while the cotton has been safely
kept. The increase Of price has made the
keeping Of the cotton profitable act.
When cotton reached Is cents quite lot OF
cotton was sold ont Of the warehouse. The
owners of the staple we're perfectly satisfied,
and didn't want is cents Now, lot OF cot.
ton has been sold at Is cents. No higher
price was wanted.
We don't know what has become Of Mr.. Joe
Nance. but suppose his cotton is still In the
warehouse. He bought 100 bales at $40 cents.
II you do little ciphering you can then
guess II he has made anything.

Good Roads.

Supervisor Nickels was in Columbia lasl
week attending the Good Roads Convention
He gives glowing accounts of the meeting
and believes that Abbeville is making greater
progress In securing public highways than
even Chester. And then our roads are Sc
cured at less cost, and are better.
If he is not called down, Capt. Nickels will
make the roads so good that he will inJure
the buggy and wagon trade, 80 much that
Calvert & Nickes may bring action against
him for damages.
Good roads do not wear out vehicles, or
break them. as fast as do the bad roads.
Another thing: Capt. Nickels has found
out that it requires no more travel to 90
around hill than 1t does to go over 1t. He
also knows that team can haul bigger
load over level road than over hilly road.
