One Of the biggest miners rock drill.
ling contests ever held in the west is
planned as one of the features Of the
coming meeting OF the American Min
ing congress in FL Paso on November
IA. These contests are very novel and
attract the best drillers from the var
ious big camps of the country and
have always brought big crowds to
this section whenever given. AS the
prizes will be large and the best drill.
lers will be attracted thereby, it is ex-
pected that this event alone will at
tract large number of people to the
congress. At the last drilling contest
in this city worlds record was estab-
lished, which is still unbroken.

Parties coming in from the outlying
country report that the Indians are
cutting hay and stacking it in large
quantities for their stock for the com
ing winter, says the Gallp Republican.
The Indians, by some Of their tradi'
tional signs, are lead to believe that
the coming winter will be very cold
and that there will be great fall of
snow and they are doing more than
usual to get ready for hard winter.
Those who know the Indians and their
ways ind that these people generally
hit it right in their forecast. Luckily
for the redskins there was a big crop
Of wild hay this season and il the hard
winter they predict comes to pass the

"a cold or cough nearly always pro-
duces constipation-the water all runs
to the eyes, nose and throat instead Of
passing out of the system through the
liver and kidneys. For the want Of
moisture the bowels become dry and
hard" Kennedy's Laxative Honey and
Tar is the original Laxative Cough
Syrup. 1t meets and corrects the above
conditions, by acting as pleasan ca
thartic on the bowels-expels all colds

When dry II is richer than oatmeal or

To prepare scaweed for the table It

Fungi are almost everywhere largely
eaten, though in England less atten-
tion Is paid to them than they deserve,
and few kinds appear at table.
A curious error Is to suppose that
fungi are eatable and toadstoOls poi
sonous. No such line Of demarcation
exists nor, strictly speaking, has the
name toadstools any precise meaning
Very many fungi are edible, and the
common agdric usually eaten in Eng
land is not the most palatable and
wholesome. Few foods are more sa-
worry, and none are greater favorites
than well cooked fungi, and the souls
Of vegetarians yearn for them.-Pear-

Gotten Growers Meeting.

A meeting Of the Laurens County Cot
ton Growers Association is called for
Saturday, Sept. 8, for the purpose of
organization and the transaction of
other business of great Importance.
Until more complete organization,
each Township or Local Club or Asso-
citation, shall send three or more dele
gates. Those townships or localities,
not already organized, are earnestly
urged to organize and send delegates on
the 9th.
Let every township be fully repre-
sented. To those who have labored for
success from the incipiency of this
movement, as well as to large class of
good citizens who have failed to see
that nothing practical can be accom-
plished without organization, we need
not remind you that while with an inn
perfect organization much has been
done, that the battle has scarcely be-
gun. Our enemies are powerful and are
all thoroughly organized. Shall the Oft
repeated expression "the farmers can't
be organized" be verified? Organized
effort and ceaseless vigilance alone will
protect the millions of cotton producers
of this country from the oppression of
the spinner and cotton gambler. Spe-
cial attention is called to the circular
letter of President Jordan in regard to
the recent meeting of the international
Cotton Spinners held at London, Eng
land, August 1st and to other questions
of vital interest to the producer.
Now, if after great effort and sacri-
flee, the price of cotton has, with the
largest crop ever produced been forced
from six to ten cents, there is to be
tagging or indifference with regard tc
organization, on the part of producers,
then we had as we'll strike our colors
and tamely let our masters dictate the
terms of our surrender.
Let the Presidents in each township
or local organization call their meetings
and send up their delegation that we
may have full meeting on the 9th.

The Tangle in Union.

There is a tangle in dispensary af-
fairs in Union County. Not in the sense
as those of other counties, as revealed
by the recent Investigations, perhaps,
but this muddlc relates to the action of

two to one in an election two weeks
ago and the effort that is being made
by the dispcnsary advocates, repre-
sented by w. Boyd Evans and Lawson
ID. Melton of Columbia to defeat the re-
suit of the election. These lawyers
have obtained an order from Judge
Townsend cnjoining temporarily the
closing of the dispcnsarics in that
county and a date has been set for a
hearing to show cause why the injunc-
ton should not be made permanent. 49,
This was done Immediately after >the
election. Now the prohibitonists have
secured from Judge Townsend an order
making three well known citizens of the
county party defendants in the action
with leave to file and serve an answer
to the complaint made by the other
side. The dispcnsaries are still open.

The following is the constitutional
provision affecting the whiskey traffic
in the State of South Carolina:
ARTICLE VIII.
SECTION III. In the exercise of the
pohce power the General Assembly
shall have the right to prohibit the
manufacture and sale and retail of al AL
cohollc liquors or beverages within the
State. The General Assembly NAV H.
cense persons or corporations to manu-
tacture and sell and retail alcoholic
liquors or beverages within the State
under such rules and restrictions as it
deems proper; or the General Assembly
may prohibit the manufacture and sale
and retail of alcoholic liquors and bev-
erages within the State, and may author
iZe and empower State, County and
municipal officers, all or either, under
the authority and in the name of the
State, to buy in any market and retail
within the State liquors and beverages
IN such packages and quantities, under
such rules and regulations, as it deems
eXpedient: Provided, That no license
shall be granted to sell alcoholic bever-
ages in less quantities than onc-half
pint, or to sell them between sundown
and sunrise, or to sell them to be drunk
on the premises: And provided, further.
mat the General Assembly shall not
delegate to any municipal corporation
the power to issue licenses to sell the
same.
1t will be observed from the forego-
ing that towns and cities cannot issue
licenses to sell whiskey; that can only
be done by the Legislature. Hence it
means if the Dispensary is voted out we
are to have prohibition.

Probably Means Peace.

The Peace Conference still appears
to be in the air so far as final terms of
agreement are concerned. There is au-
shortly for stating that both Russia
and Japan are anxious for settlement
sof the war but the negotiations have
been hanging fire for several days. 1t
was stated Monday that President
Roosevelt had been authorized on behalf
of Japan to waive all claims for indem-
nifty and cede back to Russia the north
half of Sakhalin Island, leaving the re-
demption price of the same to arbitra-
ton.
The belief has been expressed that
Russia did not clearly understand this
proposition, supposng the scheme to
be disguised effort to secure an indem-
nifty.
Late advices are to the effect that
terms of peace have been agreed upon.
