and before thaw shower was ovah thaw
was fish all ovah thaw ground. Bass,

The old gentleman, who was rather
corpulent, placed his glass on the table
and said:
Cunnel, that thah was pretty good

COTTON GRowRs' ASSOCIATION

The meeting of the Sumter County
Cotton Growers association beld Sat-
urday in the court house, pursuant to
the call of County President A. B.
Stuckey, was not largely attended as
anticipated and was wanting in inter-
est to considerable extent. Mr.. E..
D. Smith, president of the State As
sociation, who had accepted an invi-
tatiou to be present and address the
meeting, failed to come. He did not
notify President Stuckey of his inabil-
ity to fill his engagement and when it
was learned this morning that he
would not attend the meeting it was
too late to arrange for speaker to
fill his appointment.
When the meeting was called to Or
der President Stuckey made a brief
speech outlining the objects for which
the meeting had been called.
Reports from the various township
organizations were called for and
committees were appointed to take up
the work of organization of township
associations so as to have the county
thoroughly organized.
Mr.. W. A Bowman was called on
to report on the proceedings of the
meeting recently held in Asheville, n.
c., which he attended.
The sentiment Of the meeting seem
ed be favorable to holding cotton
for II cents, the minimum price fixed
by the Asheville meeting, and the eff
forts Of the County Association will
be directed toward inducing the cot
ton growers Of the county to hold for
that price.
The following resolution was adopt
ed:
Resolved. That We endorse the &C.
tion of Asheville Convention in fixing
the minimum price of cotton at II
cents.
Provided, That those who'hay OBJ.
legations which have to be paid are
not bound by the recommendation.

PUBLIC COTTON wE1GHERs.

The system Of public cotton weigh
ing has been generally satisfactory to
the merchant and farmer alike in
every county. in which it has been
adopted. The recent action which
was brought to have declared uncon-
stitutionaI the act that created the
Office of public cotton weigher in
this county was not, as we under
stand it, directed against the nature
of the law, but solely against its poor
administration.
The writer has heard it stated re-
peatedly by farmers that they took
their cotton to others markets, not be-
cause they could receive better prices
for the staple, but for the sole reason
that they would not tolerate the Ions
and unnecessary delays caused by the
insuficiency of platform room and in
ADEQUATE means of handling the cot
ton that existed under the present
system. Now Sumter cannot afford
this loss. We want every bale of cot
ton made in the county to be sold in
our town.
This paper has always favored the
system and desires to see it continue
in force, and it takes this occasion to
urge the weighers now in Office to
profit by the lessons Of this suit i'll
law, and urges them to SO improve
the mode of weighing and handling
cotton to the satisfaction Of those
whom they were elected to serve. 1t
is impossible to please all; but it is
expected of the weighers that they
at least, comply with the provisions
Of the act OF the legislature; and
with a strict compliance in the future,
which means that the weighing will
be conducted more expeditiously, it
can be said beyond any reasonable
doubt. that the dissatisfaction that
now exists will be removed.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1905-09-27
them, that then they would have g
cause of action.

There is no threat on the part of
the defendants that if the plaintiffs
undertake to weigh their cotton else
where they will be prosecuted or in
terfered with, and there is no act be-
ing done by the defendants which
tends to show any breach Of duty
which they owe to the plaintiffs. H.
order to interrupt an officer in the ex-
ercise Of his governmental functions,
the strongest and clearest case should
be made out, especially to warrant the
granting Of a temporary injunction.
While I cannot decide the case on
it's merits, it is my duty to examine in
to the case for the purpose OF seeing
whether I should grant the temporary
Injunction, and this I have most care
fully done.
In fact, the argument was so well
presented on both sides that the case
was particularly set forth before me
in all of its phases, and especially by
the plaintiffs as to the merits Of the
case, and also as to MY duty to grant
an Injunction if I came to the con-
clusion that the act was unconstitu-
ltional
Under the case as before me, the
right to a temporary injunction is
doubtful; if I were satisfied that the
plaintiffs had made out a clear right,
and that as a matter of law, from the
facts as stated, they were entitled to
temporary restraining order, I
would grant it, but I am not so salts
fed
The plaintiffs might come into town
and weigh their cotton and sell it for
an indefinite period, and no one
might ever interfere with them, and
it is purely a speculative question to
say that such would be done.
There is not an allegation in the
complaint that the persons to whom
they contracted to sell their cotton
and to whom they delivered it, require
that it shall be weighed in accordance
with the law governing the office Of
cotton weigher, and that if not so
weighed prosecution would follow.
In other words, as I see the case
as now presented, I am asked to
grant a restraining order and, prac-
tically, in so doing, ito declare the
act complained of as unconstitutional
for the reason that if the plaintiffs go
outside the cotton weighers' act and
weigh their cotton they may be pros
ecuted.
The motion to grant a temporary
restraining order is refused.

INDIANS THAT WERE GIANTS
Evidence That Bears Out Capt. John Smiths Story of Tribe of
 Tall Red Mer.

Gigantic skeletons of prehistoric In- dians nearly eight feet tall have been discovered along the banks of the Chop tank river. in this state, by employees of the Maryland academy of science The remains, says the Baltimore American are at the academy's building on Frank lin street. where they are being articu- lated and restored by the academy ex- pert, John Widgeon (colored). They will be placed on public exhibition early in the fall
 The collection comprises eight skele- tons. of which some are women and children. They are not all complete, but all the,larger bones have been found and there are at least one complete specimen of an adult man. The excava- tions were in progress for months, and the discovery is considered one of the most important. from the standpoint of anthropology. The remains are believed to be at least 1000 years old The for nation of the ground above and the To- cation of the graves gives every evidence of this. During the excavations the re- mains of the camps of later Indians were revealed. Thase consisted of oyster shell hSaps. charred and burned earth and fragments of cooking utensils. These discoveries were made fully ten feet above the graves which contained the gigantic skeletons.
 There have been other discoveries in Maryland of remains of men of tremen- dous stature. A skeleton was discov- cred at Ocean City several years ago which measured a fraction over seven feet six inches. This skeleton was in- tered in regular burying mound and beads manufactured by white men were round upon 1t. The dead Indian was probably one of the tribes mentioned by Capt. John Smith. who. in July, 1908, made a voyage of exploration of the Chesapeake bay.
 At the point on the Choptank where the remains were found there are steep shelving cliffs of sand and gravel that extend to the waters edge Beneath the bank is layer of marl. The graves are in the sand few feet above the hard marl. and have deposits of between 20 and 90 feet of sand and gravel above them. A peculiar feature of the discov- cry is the charred state of the bones of the women and children. Those of the men are untouched by fire. This seems to indicate that the ancient Indian ere mated the bodies of all except their war riors. The wet resting place of the bones for so many centuries has made them very soft and fragile. and it was with the greatest difficulty that they were removed.
