A Warning to Mothe rs.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS rule it is only
necessary to give the child dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute,
but give the oldfashioned castor oil,
and see that 1t is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has tendency to grippe.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and then dose of cas-
tor oil, and the disease may be check
ed in its incipiency and all danger a.
voided' The castor oil and tLis remedy
should be procured at once and kept
ready for instant use as soon as the
first indication of any bowel trouble
appears. This is the most successful
treatment known and may be relied
upon with implicit confidence even in
cases of cholera infantum. For sale

CLAIM AGAINST STATE.
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE ON

SESSION. 10 be Held Before Next
Legislature TO Inquire Into
Very Old Claim.
One of the most interesting of the
legislative committee meetings will
be held shortly before the next ses-r
sion to consider a historic claim
against the state government.
1t seems that in 1849 F. D. Black,
of Abbeville, was comptroller gener-
al of the state and while in office
discovered number of unpaid
claims this state had against the fed
eral government. These claims were
for expenses incurred by the state in
equipping troops and other move
ments in the war of 1872 and the
Mexican war. An agreement was
made with the state for collection
on fifteen per cent basis. A little
was collected at the time and the
rest allowed to drop until Senator
Tillman managed to get the claim
through two years ago.
The heirs of Black at once put in q
claim for their share and commits
sion was appointed consisting of Sen
ator Marshall and Representatives
Fraser and Pollock. This committee
will summon Senator Tillman, the at
torney general and other witnesses
and report at the next session on
whether the claim should be allow
ed. 1t j. said that Senator Tillman
liz opposed to the claim and thinks
that the agreement made by this
state in 1849 with Black should not
hold good now. 1t is not known
though what the committee will
bring out. at it's sessions or what
kind of report will be made.

Reflections of q Bachelor.

A man would rather even 20 to
church than be kept in the house
by raj weather.
A bachelor gets very little real en-
joyment out of club because he can
90 there any night he wants to.
It's mighty funny how a girl
never grows a wisdom tooth till she
is in love and temper till she is
married.
When man is nice to his own
sister it is sign that he does it so
she will help to make some other
girl nice to him.
The money married Nm has to
put into necessary things would
buy a bachelor more luxuries than
he knew what to do with.

What The Southern Cotton Association
Stands For?
(BY HARvIE JoRDAN.)

The Southern Cotton Association
stands for the South's supremacy agri-
c~ulturally, commercially and finan-
cially. The present effort of the Asso-
citation, looking to the reduction of cot
ton acreage and use of commercial fer
%tilizer, is merely an incident in the
great work whichitwas organized topper
form. The principal object of the AS
ISOLATION is to unite in n grand bust
ness organization the Southern farm
ers, merchants, bankers, cotton manu-
facturers and all other allied lines of bust
ness to develop the vast of the
South to maintain the price of our great
ftable figure to the producers and cot
ton milling interest of the country. To
develop Southern ports, extend the
building of cotton mills and bring about
closer trade relations between this
country and foreign nations, and more
especially with the Central and South
American Republics to seek wider
markets for the sale of our cstton and
cotton goods, to the end, that consump-
ton may be made to keeppace with the
extended cotton production. To organize
and perfect a cotton company for the
purpose of protecting the sale of our
cotton and to safeguard it from wide
fluctuations that are brought about by
speculative influences. To encourage
the building and maintaining of a first
class system of bonded warehouses, in
which cotton can be stored at a mini
mum cost, or encourage the proper
storing of cotton Of the farm so that
the crop may be marketed in such
quantities as will meet the legitimate
demand for consumption. To encourage
the better handling of the cotton crop
so that it may go to market in the best
possible condition and thereby bring to
each grower it's maximum value. To
gather correct and accurate statistics,
bearing upon the production, manu-
f~acture and sale of cotton so that the
producer will be as we'll informed upon
every phase of the great cotton indus
try of the world as those who handle
the crop after it passe from the hands
of the grower.

o ANTAGONISTIC.

The Association does not propose, and
will not antagonize any legitimate line
business or industry carried on in the
South, but on the contrary, its best en-
ergies will be directed along the lines
of a higher development of agricul-
ture, more extended building of facto-
ries, wider development of our COM
merce and increasing our financial
strength. These are the fundamental
underlying principles of the Southern
Cotton Association, and in that work,
it earnestly seeks the active co-opera-
ton of the entire agricultural, CONNER
cial strength of the South.

ORGANIZATION NECESSARY.

Organization, of course, is one of the
essential features Of the Association
because without unity there can be no
strength. The organization of the AS
ISOLATION throughout the various cotton
producing States and Territories, is
patented after the political form of the
United States government. The Asso-
citation, in it's head formation, is made
up of representatives from the Is
States and Territories producing cot
ton; each state division is composed of
a representative delegate from each
county or parish; each parish or county
organization is composed of three re-
personalities from each civil sub-divis-
ion and each civil subdivision is made
up of the units of the people. Thus we
have a centralized organization, begin
ming from among the people at the bot
tom and working through the counties,
or parishes, up through the state di-
visions and forming the parent head
The Southern Cotton Association. The
strength of the Association is there
lOiS, opSliiISN bilSSIly liolll JIG DCOllCj
and its success must depend upon the
people, whose interest it seeks to safe
guard and protect. 1t is a movement
in which the sympathy, support and ac-
tive cooperation of every man of bust
ness and profession in the South should
be cordially enlisted.
EXISTING CONDITIONS.
For the past fifty years, the South
has directed its energies principally in
the production of cotton; our people
have taken but little interest in devils
ing the proper ways and means for
marketing the staple, or in obtaining
proper and correct knowledge of the
use to which our cotton has been put
and it's consumption among the nations
of the world. We have, therefore,
known but little of it's value beyond the
price offered us by the people who have
come into u markets to purchase it.
