Mixed Advice.

Senator Frye, in: an address at
Castine, Me-, told an anecdote of a
Csstine editor.
"In your beautiful and quaint
town of Castine," he said, there was
once an editor who received at about
this season, two inquiries from sub
scribers.
"The first subscriber was the
mother of twins, and she wanted to
know how to bring her little ones
safely through the trying ordeal of
teething. The second subscriber, a
farmer, wanted to know how to rid
his orchard of grasshoppers.
"The editor in the next weeks
issue answered these questions to the
best of his ability, but unfortunately
he mixed up the sobriquets under
which the two inquirers had re-
quested him to address them.
/, "Thus it came about that the
mother of teething twins got for an
swer:
"Cover them carefully with
straw, and set fireIto them and the
little pests, after jumping about in
the flames few minutes, will
speedily be settled
"To the farmer pestered with
grasshoppers the editors advice was |:
Give little castor oil, and rub
their gums gently every three hours
with a bone ring"

Irwin's Dream
Girl
By NETTIE pLATT
,copyrish. 1905, BY K. q. Whitehead

I,
All through the deliriuin Jack Irwin
was haunted by the vision of one face.
So real did It seem that when at last
the crisis came aud he emerged. weak
and tired. from the dreAin world In
which he had lived for days he in
stinctively hooked about for the reality.
Instead there were c:siJ Ills inotneE,
drawn a little out Of her natural re-
pression by her Joy at his recovery;
the doctor and a grim faced nurse.
"Whefe's the other one - he demand

Der that you have been in delirium

II wish could get back to where she
is,- he sighed. ana then he dropped or
to sleep again.
When he opened his eyes again there
was only the nurse, and she would not
let him talk Of hts delusions, yet some
how he could not bring himself to be-
lieve that this was part OF his dream.
He could recall inea hazy way many
OF the phantasies through which he had
passed, but It was not the same with
the girl. There had been something
real, something tangible, about her. He
could remember that all through those
disordered hours he could see her face
smiling at him and beckon.ng him on
to safety when the others sought to
lure him into danger. He could not
believe, even now, that 1t was but a
figment of fever fired brain.
And yet convaiescence passed, and
he took up his work again. The blue

state Meeting OF South Carolina Union.

State Meeting OF South Carolina Union.
At their meeting on the 24th Of
October, at Columbia, the Soash
Carolina Farmers Union was repre-
sented by about 100 delegates, repre-.
senting ten thousand members from
is counties.
From reports from all over the
State it was generally conceded that
the farmers in South Carolina never
Z were more determined or more ready
to organize than now. The harvest
time for the Farmers Union is now
ready and organizers can now do q
thriving business for the Union and
a good profitable business for the or
ganizer workers. E9
The following reports from the
committee was authorized published
by our Farmers Union Bureau:
REPORT COTTON SEED coMMlTTEE.
Your committee on cotton seed
and it's products beg leave to submit
the following:
We notice that the market quotes
cotton seed oil as being worth from
2S4 to 80 cents per gallon, meal $25
per ton, hulls SIS to So per ton, while
seed are selling at $13 per ton. One
year ago oil was selling at 20 to %
cents per gallon, meal $23 per ton,
hulls So to S6 per ton.
There seems to be need of a
minimum price on seed since the oil
mills are buying the seed 80 far be-
low their value; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we advise all
union members TO hold their seed for
not less than $40 per ton, and then
make exchange of their seed for
meal to be used in mixing their fer
tilizers. j. Z. Glenn,

Committee.
ON THE GOOD OF THE ORDER.
We congratulate the State and
National Farmers Union upon its
grand extensions of the organization
during the last year.
Our national membership now
numbers near, if noo quite, one mil
lion members.
Our State Farmers Union, which
started out in Anderson county
about 26 months back, now has its
local union in about 16 of the coun-
ties of the State with fair prospects
of covering the whole State during
the incoming year.
We need twenty more good organ
izers in South Carolina to bring the
farmers together. #
OUR MINIMUM PRICES FOR COTTON.
Every member of our Farmers
Union, as we'll as everyD cotton
grower of the South, should feel
thankful aud proud of the fact that
the Farmers Union minimum prices
for cotton have won out and made
good this, the third time, that we
have taken charge of our own affairs.
WORK OF PRESS COMMITTEE.
Our press committee was estab-
lished for the purpose of disseminat-
ing information about our farmers
organization and farming news in
general, something over one year
ago, at which time we began our
sYork by furnishing a weekly column
zBin each The Intelligencer and The
Daily Mail, of Anderson, s. G.
From this small beginning of two
papers of four or five thousand sub
scribers we now send out our bureau
column to papers in the cotton States
that have bona fde subscription lists
that aggregate $4,000, while other
papers copy from these to an un-
known large extent.

Murderer Of William Graham viii
Die Next Tuesday.
EFFORTS MADE FOR PARDON
Friends Try to Save Condemned Man,
But II Is Not Likely That Governor
Will Interfere With the
Execution.

II i entirely improbable that Gov
ernor Chambelain will interfere with
the execution Of the sentence In the
case Of John &. Barnes, sentenced 10
be hanged for the murder Of William
Graham.
Within the past week strong effort
was made to have the governor pardon

and there was no motive shown for
the murder. The application for the
pardon was signed by several OF the
trial Jurors. Governor Chamberlain has
received from Judge J.. T. Harris, who
presided at the trial, and also from the
district attorney, who reviewed the ey-
iilenee, who also state that the sigma.
lures Of the jurors were obtained BY
misrepresentation. The Judge and the
district attorney say the murder was
a cold -blooded one, and they recon-
mend that the law be allowed to take
its course.
On the first day Of May Of last year
the bones OF human skeleton were
found in burning pile Of logs near
Glendale. Douglas county, and nearby
was fomti belt belonging to the
murdered man. Barnes was found To
have the dead mans pistol, knife, mug
get OF gold and diamond ring. Other
strong eircumstantial evidence was Civ
en- at the trial.
Barnes had bad record. He served
time in the penitcntiary for larceny
After his release. he was again SEN
fenced to 20 years for criminal as
sault on his halfsister, girl Of Il
years. After serving seven years Of
this time he was parloned by Governor
Sylvester Pennoyer. Governor Penney
er was criticised for using executive
clemency In this case.
Unless something unforeseen arises K
prevent II, Barnes win be executed al
