Call TO Organize for the Purpose Of Bettering
Cotton Conditions.

( To the Oconee Farmers Protective AS
ISOLATION; There will be a meeting of
our association at Seneca on Saturday,
January 2lst, at IL O'Clock. We hope
every farmer who can will attend this
meeting, as we think there will be busi-
ness of great Importance to all our people.
There has never been time when
everybody was studying on the same sub.
ject as they are at present. Different in
dividuals have different ideas, and the
only way for us to harmonic plans
is by getting together and adopting some
we'll defined course of action. There are
those who think we must plant less cot
ton; others who think we should discon-
tinue the use of guano, and still Others
who advocate burning part of the cotton.
This last plan, we think. is perfectly
absurd.
The whole cotton country is organ
iaing, and twill not do for Oconee to be-
the last county in the whole South.
Let all members attend.

Where the Courts will be Held.

The grind of the circuit courts will be
resumed in few days. The judges go
from circuit to circuit in regular pro-
gression in holding court. The second
session of the circuit courts will see
another change in the personnel of the
presiding judges. The Judge of the
sixth circuit starts out in the first circuit;
the judge of the fifth circuit follows to
the first circuit, and the judges of the
fourth circuit concludes the year in the
first circuit. In this way it requires
nearly three years for a circuit Judge to
go around the entire State. The dates
for Eighth Circuit Courts are as follows,
Judge Gary presiding: Greenville, Janu-
ary %; Anderson, February 18; Able
Vile, February 20; Oconee, March 13;
Pickens, March 20.

Handsome New Coach on Blue Ridge Road.


While in Chicago recently Superin-
tendent j. II. Anderson of the Blue Ridge
Railway Company had built, according
to his specifications, a special passenger
coach to be operated on the Blue Ridge
Railway between Seneca and Bolton. /.
The car was delivered yesterday and will
be put in commission to-day. 1t cost
approximately $1,000, and is one of the
handsomest ever seen in this section.
comparing very favorably with the latest
Pullmans.
The bottom frames and platforms as
we'll as the sidewalks are built up with
steel trusses to give solidity and prevent
telescoping, and the tricks are double,
the same as on Pullman sleepers. making
it almost impossible to derail them. The
car has Pullman double windows, COM
plete nickle-plated toilet fixtures, a com
Portable smoking compartment, and
high-backed, easy seats. The finish ;s
highly polished natural oak. The Blue
Ridge Railway is very proud of the new
car and the travelling public will appre-
oiate 1T immensely. = Anderson Mail,

"In my opinion Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best made for colds" SAYS
Mr.. Cora Walker, of Porterville, Califor-

the best. No other will cure cold SO
quickly. No other is so sure preven-
tive of pneumonia. No other is SO pleas
ant and safe to take. These are good
reasons why it should be preferred to any
other. The fact is that few people are
satisfied with any other after having once
used this remedy. For sale by DIR. j. w.
