is the first person on record who
collected all then known remedies
in use, herbs and plants.
He became so eminent as healer
that Pluto, the king of hell, com
planned to Jupiter, that his rcve-
nues were very much diminished,
and his subjects by means of Aescu-
lapius; and at length, by his per-
suasion Jupiter killed him with a
stroke of thunder. A temple was
dedicated to him on an island in
the Tiber, where he was worshipped
under the form of a great serpent.
| have neither time nor space to
give complete history of this great
first doctor. But those of my read

of the life of this great doctor, and
his family, | refer them to Hcathen

the most noted physician of ancient

derful revolution in the practice of
medicine. His authority continued
to be regarded more than two thous-
and years with implicit veneration. "
| now pass to the present era. In
the second century a native of Asia
Minor named Galen obtained pop
ularity which surpassed others.
He diverged from the beaten path,
rejected the popular system, and Sc
lcctcd what he deemed best from
other sects. His eclectic or reform
principles brought upon him such
abuse and persecution from the pop
ular physicians that he left Rome.
The emperor had such high opin-
ion of his medical skill that he soon
recalled him and placed two of his
sons under his charge, who recover
ed, contrary to the opinion of the
regular Doctors" This rendered
him so eminent that opposition was
thence for ward Iunavailing. His
practice was the vegetable, though
he practiced blood letting. For
fourteen centuries his system re-
mained in the ascendant.

MUNICIPAL PRIMARY.

Other cities in this and other
States have adopted the plan of
nominating the members of the city
council Ey primary elections and
by that means have secured
representative men on the city coun-
Gil. A primary election is open to
any and all who desire the nomi-
nation Of mayor or aldermen of
their respective wards. To have a
primary election some months be-
fore the regular election would more
properly express the wishes of the
people in the selection of our city
fathers.
Let us have a primary election
under the primary election law,
such as govern our primary elections
for State and county officers.

bear that are being brought to bear
now, and the fight for the next
thirty days, perhaps longer, will be
the bitterest ever waged in the
South. If, however, the bankers,
merchants, in fact, all parties con-
cerned in Southern welfare, which
means in the Southern cotton crop,
will sec that the weak are assisted
by the strong, we will win this fight
as we won the other, and be re-
warded by much higher price
than II cents for our work.
This letter is dictated hurriedly
on my way through Columbia to
meet the cotton growers at Bcnnetts-
vile.
When l have leisure, which l
hope to have in a few days, | shall
give to the public the work that
was done and proposed to be done
at Ashcvillc.
Let all the counties meet as l
have asked above and send to this
Office a report of the spirit of the
people as to the prospects OF their
holding their cotton, and the means
they propose to put into operation
to reach the end desired. Already
kilograms and letters from the West
indicate that they are hauling their
cotton back home and storing it
away and waiting for II cents.

In obedience to above call, Capt.
F. Nj. Farr, president of the Union
county cotton association, asks
through THE TIMES that full meet

had on Monday, the 18th inst. He
considers it highly important that
every one who is interested in the
price of cotton to be present on this
occasion. Don't fail to be on hand

RAISING HOGS.

All in favor will signify by saying
Aye" all opposed, "No." What
say you, city council, about amend
ing or repeating the present hog
law and cnacting another hog law,
giving the privilege of raising hogs
within the city limits, with certain
restrictions as to distance from resi-
dcnce, size of lot, (no pcns) num-
Der of hogs in lot? There are some,
50 we arc informed, who have been
raising hogs all the time within the
city limits, but they have done so
without any offcnsc or annoyance
to ncighbors or dctriment to the
health of the community, therefore
there has been no kick against them,

Don't Gin Cotton too Dam

Quite a number of bales of new
cotton were ginncd and sold in
Hartsvllle on Tuesday and Wednes-
day. The quality, however of this
week s receipts, has been poor, ow-
ing to the dampness of the seed
cotton. We would advise our
friends to pack down their seed cot
ton for day or two and allow it to
get warm, then stir and scatter it
thoroughly. If treated this way it
will dry more quickly, make
much better sample at the gin and
BRING more money -Hartsvillc
Messenger.
This applies to Union County and
every other place where cotton is
grown, ginncd and packed. There
is absolutely nothing gained, but
many times loss by giving cotton
when it is wet.

Who are the QuoCkS!

This question has been puzzling
me for some time. In the first
place what does quack mean? "a
boaster; one who prctcnds to skill
ne does not possess; falsely pretend
ing to cure disease" 1t seems to
be a term of reproach applied by
regular physicians, to all who prac-
tice the healing art without a
diploma from an alopathic college.

future markets of the world. If
you can get ten cents for a crop of
nearly 100000 bales you GER
tainly can get the worth of the crop
that is many million bales less.
The crop of last year will have
moved to market by today, Sep
tember II, with the exception of
few thousand bales. There is no
vast mmarketed surplus from the
old crop to pound down the prices
which you will get for the yield of
l9O5-o6. Last years crop, accord
ing to the returns of spinners to the
census bureau, was 1858, 900
bales. More than 13, 800, 900 bales
have already been sold by you.
With the bulls engaged ahead for
SIX months to ten months, and in
some cases a year, their surplus is
too scanty to permit curtailment to
any extent. They must fill their
contracts, and the only way they
can fill their contracts is by buying
the raw material from you. Don't
be disturbed by raid in the future
markets. Paper contracts can be
sold to an unlimited extent, but
they cannot be filled unless you are
willing to part with your holdings.

A CALL TOCOTTON GROWERS
All County Associations Asked
to Meet on the 18th Inst.

Columbia, September 11.-Presi-
dent f. d. Smith, of the Cotton
Growers Association, has given
this card to the press for publica-
ton:
In order to get thoroughly in
formed as to the spirit of the people
of South Carolina in reference to
the actual Southern Cotton Associa-
ton | call upon every county asso-
citation to meet on next Monday,
the 18th instant, for the purpose of
getting an expression of opinion
from the members of every associa-
ton in their county.
First as to the ratification of the
action of the convention as to the
minimum price.
Second, devise means of mutual
assistance in carrying out the aim
and purposes of the Southern Cot
ton Association.
The one prime necessity now is
that the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton has fixed its minimum price at
Ashcvillc, n. c.
The undoubted small crop, the
financial condition of the South and
above all the possibility of the
Southern cotton grower being able
to dictate his own price, is prize
worth striving for, because it means
personal independence, manhood
and wealth. Therefore, at this
crisis, ! beg every county associa-
ton to meet rs above indicated and
sec that report be made, both as
to the spirit attending these meet
ings and the opinion of those attend
ing as to the price of cotton. AS to
the outlook of yield and what
means, if any, have been brought
upon the farmers to withhold the
cotton from the market until our
minimum of II cents is obtained.
These reports to be forwarded to
the central Office.
1T matters not now whether it
was wise or unwise to set the mini
mum indicated. There is but one
thing left to do and we can do it,
and that is to stand by the Con-
vention at Ashevillc and demand II
cents. 1t is useless for me to call
attention to the fact ahat with the
II 900, 900 bale crop, by our loyalty,
determination and manhood we will
win it.

PRICE FIXED.

The price of cotton for'the season
having been fixed by the cotton as
sociation assembled in Ashevillc,
\. c., at minimum Of II cents
seems to have raised in the minds
Of some doubt as to the wisdom of
such step OH the part of the dele
gates representing the farmers of
the cotton growing states. The
only possible grounds for any fears
of its being unwise is that the farm
crs would not stick to this price if
they were offered 10 1-2 or even 10
cents for their cotton. This we
apprchend is the greatest cause for
any fears of weakening the present
strength of the Southern Cotton
Association as it is only by strict
adherence to the measures adopted
that the farmers can hope to succeed
in the undertaking to control the
price of cotton, for the reason that
the spectators are wide awake and
ready to take advantage of the least
rupture or division in the ranks;
therefore the greater the reason for
the farmers to stand solidly together
and not yield single point, and
knowing as they do, that the lack
of organization in the past has been
the reason Of their failure to be able
to command and control the price
of cotton, now that they are Or
ganizcd and have by pulling together
in holding their cotton and reduc-
ing the acreage, have marketed their
cotton in mid summer at 10 and
10 ID cents, Notwithstanding the
fact that there was a thirteen and a
half million bale. crop in sight. Now
VIC make the bold assertion to the
farmers of the cotton growing states
that If they by the organization of
the Southern Cotton Association
were able to market their cotton at
10 and 10 l-2 cents there is now no
question or doubt with the present
prospect of 9 and half or 10
million Ealc crop of 1905 and 1906,
they will be able to market the crop
at from | l to II cents and possibly
more, not less, and we say without
fear of contradiction that this can
be done only by Standing solidly
together not yielding a point, the
idea being to take no less and as
much more as you can get.

JOneSviIle JOttinqS.

September 11.-The weather is
good for gathering in the crops.
The cotton is opening very fast and
it is very sorry; in some places it
is reported to be half open. The
J. l.. McWhirtcr ginnery ginncd 33
bales of cotton last Saturday and
most all of it was bought by Mr..
McWhirtcr for ten cents the pound.
The market opened again this morn
ing at ten cents but soon went off
an eighth. If the farmers hold out
firm for ten cents they will get it,
but if they keep on selling, the price
will be sure to go down just as long
as they will stand it.
Our town is more healthy this
year than usual. We have a better
system of policing than we have
previously had, which no doubt ac-
counts for it.
