HOLD YOUR COTTON.

The meeting in the Opera House to-
CAV was surcharged with the hgnung
snjrit. it could be felt in the atnsos-
uhere like electricity, and for the first
time since the Southern Cotton Grow
ers, Association began the fight for
fair prices for cotton have we been
conscious of deep earnestness ana
deadly determination in a meeting
held here. The fighting spirit has been
aronsed at last and there is now no
smoubt of Sumter county doing her fun
share in q fight to the finish. The
n,aeting was not demonstrative, had
shere been more noise it would have
been less significant and impressive ~"
one who has been an interested ana
critical onlooker in all sorts of pup
lie gatherings in Sumter for the past
hfteen years, the meeting today was
she most significant in his experience.
IL was a gathering Of men whose
minds were ready for the reception
or an idea; the idea was fttingly put
INTO words by Daniel J. Sully and
driven home by the dramatic earnest
ness and fervid seloquence of E. D.
Smith.
The meeting was held at the oppor-
sune nadment, the crowd was in SYM
pathy with the speakers. They hae a
personal and hard-bought knowledge
Sf the subject to be discussed and the
farts laid before them and the argu-
ments made in advocacy Of united
and determined fight to wrest from
The hands of spectators and grasp
ing manufacturers the right to fix the
price Of cotton, served to crystallze
the sentiments of the crowd and make
of them fixed purpose.
The men who heard Messrs. sully
and Smith speak today know far bet
ser than any man could tell them the
results of being forced to sell cotton
for less than it costs in time and
money and effort to produce it. Some
Of them have lost the land which was
theirs by inheritance and are now
tenants; others have struggled on
wear after year burdened with debt,
enduring poverty and the hardshlps
that it entails, hoping against hops
for a, better day that seemed too long
in coming. The feeling that they
hare been the helpless victims Of
alassh injustice and relentless oppres-
ssion. is ingrained in their conscious
ness and it needed only the occasion
an6 the caA to arouse them to discard
ssSlse attitude of passive endurance ana
To gird themselves for a determined
fight for their rights.
sIf every cotton grower in Sumter
ecounfy could have been in the meet
iasg today there would be no more
cation sold on this market until the
price of cotton advanced to a parity
5 HRh its real value.
Mhiie the speeches Of Mr.. Suiiy
and Mr. Smith were excellent, their
chief value and their undoubtedly
great effect upon the audience were
due more to the fact that they came
at the right time than to the elo-
uuenc and logic with which the facts
were presented.

FOOL. THE LAWMAKERS
Railway Men Said to Have Made the
Stone Law Migratory.

The absolute Indifference Of railway
men to the taking effect Of the Stone

fact that to all intents and purposes the
Stone law appears to be a joke. Some

Pursued by jocular friends in car
riages, DR.. Harry G.. Irvine, deputy
coroner, and his bride, formerly Miss
Eta McCabc, hurried to the Milwau-
kee station last evening in an equipage
drawn by galloping steeds. To make
the spectacle still more thrilling, the
depraved younger brother of the blush
ing bride preceded the cavalcade on
horseback, and in voice like to that of
the "wild bulls of Bashan,' - announced
what was coming.
At the station a perfect hail of rice
and shoes threatened the very lives OF
the pair.
The wedding took place at the First
Presbyterian church last evening, Rev

AN EGG WITHIN AN
EGG, THIS HENS FEAT

The goose that laid the golden egg
has been forced into oblivion by a
plain, matter-of-fact, Plymouth Rock
hen owned by Mrs. Storms of Mime
the preliminary gusto which announces
the breaking Of old established record,
the hen laid an egg trife over four
inches long. Just how much cackling
was done after the event is not said.
Anyway Mrs. Storms says the hen is
doing as well as could be expected.
Next in the history Of the egg came
the purchase by B. Ridges, 1914 Hen
nepin avenue. He took the egg to his
home where it was cracked. The shell
was found to be unusually thick. In
side the shell were two yolks but nc
white and inside the yolks was an egg
trifle smaller than the average egg
This egg was perfect according to the
standard Of the best hen families. The
egg has been carefully placed in boz
and will be kept for exhibition.
