The pittsburg Dispatches correspond
ent at Toms1, south Siberia, who was
permitted by the governor TO visit the
places where the Japanese prisoners Of
war are kept, says there are about 700
In all. and both men and officers say
that they are well treated. All the pris-
oners signed a petition in which they
asked the Russian government to be
allowed TO return home on condition
that they VIII not bear arms against
Russia in this war The petition was
forwarded to the car. Russia pays
the prisoners the following sums: Gen
erals, 125 rubles d month; staff officers.
81 rubles a month; minor officers. 30
rubles. A ruble Is about equal TO IS
cents. Common soldiers receive 10 ko.
pecks, about cents, per day
The men are quartered In an aban-
doned monastery and in stables that
have been cleaned and furnished with
hunks. The conl-aon soldiers are paid
daily and have appointed one Of their
number to buy their provisions. They
will not eat the black bread Of the
country and buy only white bread,
which is luxury in Tomsk. Even the
Russians admit that the Japs are mir
acles OF cleanliness and good order.
The officers have been lodged In the

Cotton :YYelgher Elected. J.

On Monday last the County
Board OF Commissioners held an
election in the Office of the board
in order to give those who sell
cotton on the Edgefeld market
an opportunity to express their
preference as to who should be
chosen as public cotton weigher
There were. a goodlY number of
representative farmers in from
every section which made the vote
heavier than was at first expected.
Two hundred and eighty three
votes were cast as follows: j. w.
Cheatham, 100; Fl. c.. Watson,
113; M. a. Taylor, 81, and j: w.
.Reece, 6. Mr.. J. w. Cheatham
having received the highest num-
Der of votes be was declared cleo
ted.
The position of public cotton
weigher is not a sinecure. While
it pays well (about $40O net for
the amount of actual work that is
done, yet there is a world Of un-
pleasantness connected with it.
The weigher may be conscientious
and try very so hard to please the
public, yet if he holds the good
will and esteem of seventy five per
cent of the people with whom
be deals be is fortunate. In this
position, as IN every other of
public nature, it is impossible to
satisfy everybody. You may
please "Tom" and "Dick" but
"Harry" is certain to fall out with
you.
Mr.. Cheatham will have 8 COM
modious platform aid we'll balan-
ced scales, ready to weigh your
cotton whep the season opens.

"a a, 81 Word to the Wise.o

A piano is a very mystifying
instrument, especially to those
who know nothing of Q COLI
structioh or the scientific prihci-
Piles involved in producing a per-
lfectspiano. This is the reason SO
many of our citizens and best
class of farmers ere humbugged
into buying cheap piano and
very frequently at an exorbitant
price. Some firms have a method
of sending out flaming literature
with a lot of testimonials from
people who know absolutely moth
ing about a piano. This class of
stuff is priced from $4,000 to
100000, but can be bought for
almost nothing, for it is worthless
iu a;musical education.
Then the retail dealer comes
along and pushes the cheapest
pianos he can get for the biggest
price.
Don't get picked up by these
fakes. You want the best and car;
get it. Your children deserve
good piano aud an artistic piano.
We note thai our greatest col
leges use:the Stieff piano.
Elizabeth College, Charlotte:
uses itexclusively and has twenty.
Converse College, Spartanburg, S.
c.. uses it exclusively and naa
thirty-six. Brenau Conservatory
Of Music, Gainesville, Ga, uses it
exclusively and has fifty. The
Baptist Female College, Raleigh,
has placed an order for thirty-onA
and will use it exclusively. Old
Salem Academy at Salem, N. c.,
has adopted the Stieff.
It's used in many colleges all
over the South and East.
When the heads of such collie
ges select the Stieff piano,
wouldn't il. be we'll for you to
profit by their knowledge and ex-
perience? Besides. the Stieff piano
is a.Southern product manufactu-
red by a Southern man and is
sold direct from factory to friends,
saves middleman's profits in your
home and you secure the finest
piano made.
Also have fine line of medium
grade and secondhand pianos.

Several miles above Mr.. Williams

aged by hail.
The cry for water, more water,
comes from every section of the
county, and state, too. Hundreds
of wells are dry, springs that never
failed before have ceased to run,
branches in many pastures are as
dry as Sahara. The very limited
rainfall which has extended over
q period of two years has caused
it all. However, twill turn out
all right. What is needed now ls
more patience and more faith.
