The Farmers un,s, aequss, Granted.

BY a resolution of the Farmers
Union of Anderson county Clemson
College was asked to secure J. A.
Everett, of Indianapolis, as one of
the speakers at the coming State
Farmers Institute to be held at
Clemson College August Ola, and
Mr.. Everett has accepted the invita-
tion to be present.
Mr.. Everett, as many farmers
know, is the champion and advocate
of the popular movement for farmers
to make and maintain profitable
prices for farm products and it is
claimed by the wheat growers of the
West that they have through organ
lied effort raised the price of their
wheat from 65 cents to 81 per bushel
and that these prices have been
maintained for several years by con-
cert of action among Western wheat
growers.
1t is reported that petitions will
be circulated asking for the holding
of an election on the question of
voting the dispensary out of Charles
ton county. 1900 signatures will be
necessary. The dispensary profits
in Charleston are $4,000 year.
l. Cotton growers of South Carolina
should turn out at this State insti-'
tute and hear Mr.. Everett and also
have a good social and educational
institute along on the business side
Of farming.
Remember, it matters not how
cheaply you produce your cotton, if
the speculator continues to set the
prices for you regardless of the cost
of production. The more you pro-
duce the poorer you get.

Extra Session in November.

Washington, May Ex-senator Kean,
of New jersey, called on the President
last week.
"I advised the President against calling
an extra session of Congress" said the
Senator, laughing, "but he didn't take
my advice. There will be an extra ses-
sion in November"
Monday, November 13, is the exact date
which Speaker Cannon is urging tho
President to designate for the beginning
of the extra session. The reason assigned
by the speaker for his preference for that
date is that if Congress is not convened
until that time members will be left free
until after the November elections. He
is insistent in pressing his suggestion
upon the President, who has promised to
consider carefully the speakers argu-

A learned professor claims to have dis
covered that "laziness" is caused by a
germ. If the eminent doctor is right,
Rydale's Liver Tablets can rightly be
termed Microbe Killers, because they al

feeling that has usually been attributed
to torpid liver or constipated bowels.

Forget each kindness that you do
As soon as you have done it;
Forget the praise t'iat falls to you
The moment you have won it;
Forget the slander> You hear
Before you can repeat it,;
Forget each slight, eachspite, each sneer
Wherever You may meet it,
Remember every kindness done
To you what 'ar its measure;
Remember prais by others won
And pass it OF with pleasure;
Remember every promise made
And keep it to the letter;
Remember those who lend you aid
And be grateful debtor.
Remember all the happiness
That comes your way in living;
Forget each worry and distress,
Be hopeful and forgiving;

True joys, and health to love you.

Too Easily Scared.

Because of few days of rain, one
hears a wall of despair from many farm
ers, who seem to think the grass is going
to take the country and things are going
to smash. Many people get scared too
quick-they get scared at things they
imagine are going to happen, when really
are not half 80 bad as imagination de-
picted them. When child takes his
seat in the dentists chair and the dem
tist picks up his instruments the child
begins to yell-not because anything
hurts him, but because he expects some
thing will. A good many grown people
are like children in this respect-they
before they are hurt. The grass is not
going to take the cotton unless some
body has over-cropped himself, thinking
his neighbors were all going to reduce

: a Successful Teacher.

= Il
William Erskine Dendy is a native
Sonth Carolinian, being born and
reared near Richland, in Oconee
county. He attended the North
Georgia College at Dahlonega, Ga,
a branch of the Georgia State Uni.
yersity, graduating from that institu-
tion with first honor. In all of the
getting of knowledge the idea to fit
and equip himself for teaching has
been uppermost, and this is his life.
work.
Prof. Dendy came TO Pickens five
years ago and orgafiized the graded
school system and has been at its
head ever since, doing great and
good work, and building up the
school all the time. He has welded
an influence for good with the
teachers of this county, as he has
been in touch with them at all times
since he has been here, and has for
the past two years been instructor in
the county summer school, and the
presept year will be one of the in
structors in the State Summer
School, which meets at Clemson. He
has also served for the past three
years on the board of examiners for
this county.
Prof. Dendy has had twelve years
experience as teacher, being superin.
tendent for three years of the school
at Greer's, three years at Yorkville,
one year q: Waihalla, and five at
Pickens. A splendid testimony to
his worth as teacher lies in the
fact that seven years after he had
left he was reelected as superintend-
ent of the graded school at Greer's,
but declined, as he was engaged at
Pickens. He is good superintend-
ent, splendid teacher and num-
ber one disciplinarian, and be-
lieves in holding "young America"
"down to their knitting" While at
Pickens he has had the hearty CO.
operation of all the parents and Off
cials of the school. When he came
here five years ago the average at
tendance of the school was about
ninety, while the enrolment this
session is practically two hundred
pupils. We understand he has re-
ceived a very flattering offer from
another State, but whether he will
accept or not we cannot say

The people having charge of the
Spartanburg county petitions, calling
for an election on the dispensary
question, believe that their petitions
have been signed by more than one
fourth of the qualified voters and
the commissio ners will soon be asked
to call the election. The probability
is that the people who oppose the
removal of the dispensaries will fight
the calling of the election on techni-
cal grounds.

Tho Brookland Contest Results In Arrests.
rColumbia State, June H.

Special deputies were stalking
through the streets of Brookland yes
terday armed with shotguns and re-
volvers looking for the intendant, G.
B. McCombs, for whom warrant
had been issued charging him with
fraud against the election laws of the
State and conspiracy against his op-
ponent, j. S. Gunnels, who alleges
that he was counted out of the cleo
tion after he had secured III of the
ISL votes cast. The sheriff of Lex
ington received word from McC Combs
relative last night that McC Combs was
then OF his way to Lexington to sur
render.
The three managers of the election
who declared the result in favor of
McCombs by majority of three
votes, although Gunnells is said to
hold affidavits from lit that they
voted for him, have been arrested,
but one of them, George Busbee, who
is said to have turned States evil
dence, was too sick to take to Jail.
The others, M. l.. Fox and j. A.
Armstrong, are behind the bars at
Lexington, along with ex.Chief of
Police T. d. Mitchell.
Fox was captured after an exciting
chase which ended at Cayce yester-
day morning at 2 O'Clock with the
escape of McCombs. These two
skipped when the other two were ar
rested and three special deputies
pursued them, Obey Meyers, George
Lybrand and Jack Seay. AS the
deputies came upon the fugitives Nc
Combs showed fight, but as he at
tempted to draw his revolver Meyers
got the drop on him. Fox then
grabbed Meyers, who shot twice with
out effect at the retreating form of
McCombs. AT this point the other
deputies came up and Fox was taken
in.
Fox is groceryman, Busbee is a
cotton mill operative and Armstrong
is mill operative and clerk. Mitch

today resumed the impeachment case
OF Judge Swayne. An order for meth.
cd OF procedure was adopted. John
NJ. Thurston, counsel for Judge
Swayne, then read the latter's answer
to articles Of impeachment. The an.
swer was a lengthy document. Judge
Swayne asserted that no expenses

West railway. He also denied that
he failed to establish a residence in
his district in Florida.
Judge Swayne justified his action in
committing e. T. Davis for contempt
OF court as a public duty. He denied
that he held an interest in the Lerida
McGuar case and said that the attempt
to involve him in it was a conspiracy
on the part Of the three lawyers for the
purpose of thwarting justice. Judge
Swayne also justified his action in fin.
ing and sending to prison Attorney
Samuel Beldin and E. r. Davis.
Judge Swayne's answer justified the
