Cotton spectators and the mills
will soon get all the weak cotton out
OF the hands Of the unoreanized cot
ton growers. When these conditions
prevail the farmer cotton bear become
bull and works right into the hand
Of the organized cotton famer, who
has managed to hold his cotton Off
the glutted market.
Now the Farmers Union had much
rather have the supply men to join
in with them and take care of this
weaker class of cotton growers and
keep this profit in our own county
where it will help everybody. But, if
our own people will work with us, we
will, of course, take any help that We
can get without committing ourselves
with the speculative element.
There is not one interest in the
whole South that is not benefited
directly or indirectly when producers
of cotton receive. good profitable
prices for their cotton. When there
is plenty of money afloat every one
can receive some benefit from a live
lier trade.

Tribute from Old Comrade.

A. j. Livingston was born iii what
was known as the Dutch Fork on the
22nd of October just sixty-tmee years
ago. He lost his parents early in life
and was bound to an old gentleman
by the name of Henry Werts. He
had served his time out about the
commencement Of the war. He volun-
teered in Company B, of the 3rd S.
{. Regiment. He was good soldier
and did what he conveived to be his
duty. He was unpretentious and not
fond Of high sounding flattery OF
men.
| remember at the battle of Fred
ericksburg, when our line extended
along behind the rock fence, where
it was almost certain death for a man
to show himself over the rock wall,
General Kershaw, I think it was,
wanted to send some order to- an
other point on the line and he ask
ed who would carry the message.
Young Livingston said" will carry
it, The General looked at him and
said, "Do you think you can carry
it?' His reply was, ct will try"
The General gave him the dispatch
and said go. Like an arrow he shot
along the works, a target for the
rifles Of hundreds Of sharpshooters.
Everybody expected to see him fall,
but he seemed to have a charmed life,
he went and came back safe. The Of
ficers and men eulogized and compli-
mented him. His reply was, "Mcn,
I only did my duty" His place in
ranks was never empty until he lost
his leg in the battle Of the Wilderness
on the 9th of May, 1864. When he
was carried back to the field infirm-
ary the surgeons say that he was shot
through both thighs, thought his was
a mortal wound and left,him till late
in the day, when DR.. Evans passed
him and said, elbow are you by this
time, Livingston9" His reply was,
"I am 81, ghtly disfigured, but still
in tho p His cheerfulness touch
ed DR.. Evans and he had him placed
on the table and amputated one leg
and dressed the wound in the other.
He came home from the war with
one leg and after the war he chose for
his life ,artne,' Miss Eliza Rateree,
and with one leg and his little wife

Charleston Gala Week.

Military day of Charleston's 8 Great
er Gala Week will be November 7.
The guard mount and parade will be
held in the afternoon. The guard
mount will take place on Marion
square and the hour will depend upon
the number of squads that enter tho
contest, but will probably commence

mount the line of march will to taken
up along the principal streets and
after passing the revieding officers
the parade will be dismissed. From
replies received from out-of-town
companies to the invitation to enter

many of them will send squads to
the city to enter the contest, and the

meal the farmer should get at least
$18 for his seed, which amounts to
$5 per ton loss to the farmer on each
ton that he sells FOR 1913, or loss Of
over twenty-five million dollars on
the whole crop of the South.
This loss on seed in one season
would put up enough warehouses to
take care of half the cotton crop Of
the whole South
Our Farmers Union experiments
last year proved that ground cotton
seed paid nearly $25 per ton under
cotton and $40 per ton under corn.
Farmers don't sell your seed for
six or eight dollars per ton less than
the seed is worth for fertilizer. Far
mers must look more after the bust
ness side of their farming for their
own interest and quit taking the other
mans figures Oh everything.

The cotton market is pushing up,
trying to get above II cents, but the
cotton farmers keep piling the cot
ton on the market every time the price
starts upward, and this rushing cot
ton on the market holds the price
down.
The cotton growers are now the
worst cotton bears in our country
they are the men that keep prices
from rising by dumping on the cot
ton every time the market starts on a
rise.
The men that supply the cotton
growers and have that amount of cot
ton under their control could now do
great big thing for the Southern
cotton growers if they would only
come together and pull to save this
advancement in cotton for the South.
The blind, selfish greed that poses
scs some men will never allow them
to consider the welfare Of their coun-
try at any time.
These men never once realize the
fact that the country protects their
property or they could not possess
this selfish grab after they have TAX
en- it for their own.

palm on the pursuing father, who paid
absolutely no attention to it.

Atherton continued to move through
the air, and brought up in the lower

dream thoughts come with much greater
rapidity than do the imaginings which
people have when they are awake; so
that one may in moment dream of
doing things in an orderly way that
if they were actually performed would
occupy his time for hours, perhaps
days.
Yet the rapidity with which dreams
are worked out will not suffice as an ex-
PLANTATION of the vision which forms a set
ting for an actual occurrence of the
future
We may know that frail cord which
suspends heavy picture frame will some
time break; but no human being can tell
when the crash will come, and it is incon-
ceivable that even if a man knew his
boOk-shelves were overloaded there could
come to him simply as the result of a dis
ordered liver or excitability of the brain
a dream which was to lead with all the
naturalness of actual experience to a
catastrophe at the instant when the sup
ports gave way.
Aristotle believed that "a divination
concerning some things in dreams" was
not incredible, and Plato was of the
opinion that there might be divine mani
festations to the soul in sleep. So, too,
medieval Christians attributed certain
kinds of dreams to the agency of the
Divine Being, and this theory has
been advanced even by modern theo-
logians.

A Coincidental Crash

A I length, as | stood watching one of
the ponderous girders dangling hun
dred feet above the pavement, the cable
did break. caught my breath as the mass
of steel shot downward, and just as it
struck the earth | was awakened by a
crash
For an instant l could not realize that
the accident of my dream had not really
happened. When l investigated how
ever, | discovered that vase had toppled
from the mantel in my room and been
broken into fragments. On the following
morning | was told that San Francisco
had been disturbed by one of the earth
quakes which are not infrequent there at
certain seasons of the year
If this had been my only dream in
which a crash or sudden jar, caused by
something wholly apart from my own
imaginings, had occurred at the instant
when such sound or disturbance would
fit in as a climax, l could accept it as
merely coincidence. But, as l have
