LAURENS, S. c., April S, 1905.
Keep the "Plant" Busy.

One more word about this cotton
acreage reduction and that word is
Raise something else.
Cotton production will never be re-
duced materially until the people learn
to produce something besides cotton.
The farmers will live better and have
more and get richer by producing what
they and their stock consume than by
producing cotton only at Is cents the
pound.
So long as a farmer does not learn
how to diversity, how to raise hay and
grains and potatoes and peanuts and
fruits and pigs and turkeys and chick
ems, he will continue to raise cotton re-
CARELESS of resolutions and speeches.
If the farmers in the South this year
produce 13, 900, 600 bales of cotton, it
will mean one of two things, either
that the claim that cotton cannot be
produced with profit at six cents the
pound is false or that the farmers, as a
class, have not yet learned to act with
common business sense.
In this Up.Cou n try, the farmers di-
versify vastly more than they did a
few years ago and that is why so many
of them are in comfortable and indie
pendent positions. That is why they
have been able to hold cotton this win
ter.
The problem of farming is plain-at
least n principle of it is. We have
stated it time and again. The farmers
plant, his mules, his laborers, his
wagons, his tools-must work all the
time. When a cotton mill shuts down
for n week, it loses tremendously.
When a farm shuts down for a week it
loses tremendously. If THE ADvER-
User rested six weeks in the year it
would die. This is the infexible rule of
business. The farmer who has but one
crop must keep his plant idle a large
part of the time and cotton will never
rise to a price that can make good tor
such idleness-not in this Up-Country
where cotton alone cannot be produced
IN competition with the farms of Mari
boro County and the Mississippi Delta.

A CHICAGO ALDERMAN OWES
HIS ELECTION TO CHAMBER
LAIN'S COUGH REMEDY.

81 can heartily and c~onscientiously
recommend Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for affections of the throat
and lungs" says Hon. John Shenick,
220 South Peoria Street, Chicago. =
'"Two years ago during a political cam
paign, l caught cold after being over
heated, which irritated my throat and
L was finally compelled to stop, as l
could not speak aloud. In my extremity
a friend advised me to use Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1 took two doses
that afternoon and could not believe my
senses when / found the next morning
the inflammation had largely subsidized.
L took several doses hat day, kept
right on talking through the campaign,
and | thank this medicine that l won
my seat in the Council" This remedy
is for sale by Laurens Drug Co., and
DIR. b. F. Pcsey.

This is a good time for a good Gov
ernor to sit steady in the boat. Petit
tions for pardons are numerous. There
is a Jury behind every verdict. No ac-
cused person has been convicted of a
serious crime in South Carolina who
did not have the services of competent
lawyers for his defense.

If cotton sells at five cents the pound
in the fall of 1905 it will be because
the farmers insist upon raising five
cents cotton. Thirteen million bales of
cotton and five cents cotton mean the
same thing in these times.

MIR. Todd is Is years of age and has
been a student of Clemson during the
past two years. He is a bright, at
tractive young fellow and deserves the
congratulations of his friends. He has

worth more to him than an inheritance
of great wealth and which we have nc
doubt he will make the most of.
He is the son of Mr.. w. p. Todd OF

the greatest exodus of people from
the state OF Iowa has Just passed. The
nrst four days of the present month
saw the departure of $4,000 people
from its borders, all attracted west
ward by the cheap excursion rates to
Denver and the west. All Iowa roads
We're taxed Monday most of them not
only running specials, but every train
was run in number of sections.
In the metropolis of the Rocky
mountains was poured this week a
greater throng of visitors than the
city has ever known, throng out of
all proportion of the accommodations,
and all because of the G. A. r. encanp-
ment and the unprecedented railroad
rates, which drew thousands from all
parts OF the country into Colorado for
stay OF few days or few weeks.
1t is estimated by the railroad op.
Grating trunk lines through Iowa that
While 10000 people were taken from
the state alone, many thousands more
passed through on their way from east
ern points. The round trip rate from
this city to Denver and other Colorado
points was S13.60 and this extremely
low figure, together with like reduc.
tons from other points attracted the
unusual amount of traffic.
Officials of the different roads oper.
ating through this city said yesterday
that there had never been an excursion
to any point which attracted such wide
spread attention or caused the rail
roads to wrestle with such large
problems of handling traffic.
