Some Good Advice.

We have received a copy Of a circu-
lar letter which is being circulated
among the colored people of Orange
burg and adjoining counties by the
Negro Ministerial and Lay Uuion,
of Orangeburg county--an organiZa-
ton composed for the most part of
the more conservative, trustworthy
and substantial colored citizens.
The circular contains much well
considered advice to the colored pco-
pie. 1t advises the people of the
race to be law-abiding and to inform
themselves of the laws, so that they
may be useful citizens. 1t advises
them to pay more attention to the
training of their children and to
build up their homes.
The circular also speaks Of the
foreign labor that is being brought
to this country,a and tells colored
people that if they prove themselves
worthy the immigrant question will
not affect them in the least.
In all the circular is calculated to
be very helpful, if the colored peo-
pie will heed the advice given.

Weather Forecast.

While we are not a prophet or the
son of a prophet but it is becoming
a popular fad to give weather fore
casts, SC here is our prediction for
this month: During the first half
there will be some brisk winds from
the north, but every day the SUI will
rise, and often there'll be gloomy
skies; some days, however, may be
fair, with southern winds and mel
low air. Those things will happen
sure we know, because they always
happen SO.
This good months moon will full,
and office seekers work their pull"
Some lucky ones will land the prize,
while other men esteemed aswise will
fail in all they undertake and find
they've made a sad mistake, for
Charlatans to fortune ride while
modest worth is thrust aside. These
things will happen, we know because
they've always happened so,
In this good month Of 1906, the
boys and girls will have fun. They'll
go to parties dance and spark; they'll
kiss each other in the dark; they'll
marry and begin their life, a happy,
hopeful man and wife, and sometime
they will own a kid, just like theil
dads and mammies did, These things
will happen. sure, we know, because
they've always happened 0

D~ISPENSARY
VIII BE Closed On and After the Last
Of April.

VI AlbEIl.
The County Dispensary Board Will
not rescind its action ordering the
closing Of the Elloree ~dispensary UNI
less the matter is taken before the
courts, which is not likely in the face
OF the fact that nearly every body in
Elloree want the dispensary there
closed. Senator Raysor and Attorney
General Lyons agrees as to the law.
Both Messrs. Raysor and Lyon seem
to be in sympathy with this board
and the people OF Elloree, and Mr..
Lyon is reported as suggesting a plan
by which the board may evadc the
law in this case.
The suggestion advises the board
to destroy the ~dispensary, which the
law say must remain a ~dispensary
until an election is held, but a sort
Of negative purpose. This means
they must withdraw from it their
support in a measure and pay the
dispenser there a merely nominal sal
ary. one which would not he remun-
e%rative, and which he could not pos
sibly afford to accept.
If this Is n good plan then the
board has 1t in their power to act in
a similar manner in regard to any
other dispensary in the county, and
by their own discretionary powers
could convert the whole county into a
prohibition district. This, it appears,
would defeat the purpose OF the law
and vary materially from the local
option platform Of Governor Ansel
which this law was framed to carry
ont.

"These are to be stricken out for

Numerous This Year.

The cotton boil weevil is unusually
numerous and destructive this year,
according to a report by DR.. w, d.
Hunter, in charge of the boil wee
vii investigation for the United
States department of agriculture,
He says:
"The condition throughout the
past winter have been unusually fav-
orable for the Information of the boil
Weevil. The two critical conditions
for successful Information, tempera-
ture and dryness have been as favor
able as they will prabably ever be.
THE mild winter and spring is
having the effect of causing an I'M
usually early emcrgencc.
"The conpitions indicate clearly
that Weevils will be unusually album
dant in the cotron fields, and that
great damage is to be expected.
Some conditions, for instance, dry
weather during June and July after
the cotton plants are well started,
may serve to check the insect"

Saturday afternoon was calm and
pleasant weather, but early Sunday
morning the wind set in from the
northeast, blowing a stiff gale which
continued all Sunday night and again
Monday night, reaching velocities as
high as so miles an hour and with a
very rough sea, 1t is possible that
the boats may have been swamped or
swept out to sea and the entire party

1t is possible that the boats may

Should BE Perfected.

The Florence Times says Senator
Raysor Of Orangdburg, one of the
best lawyers of the state has given
out an interview in which he sup
ports Attorney General Lyons in
depreciation Of the Carey-Cothran
law in regard to the closing of the
dispensaries, which has been so
much discussed. He says that the
inability to close existing dispensa-
ries is a defect in the local option"
law" The Times then goes on to
say; 'The truth of the matter is
that there were many defects in
that law which might have been cor
rected if the advocates of it had not
been SO much afraid that the state
dispensary men woule have out ma
nOuvercd them on the floor of the
house and they, having the majority
refuse to allow anything to be
heard from the other side. The
Carcy-Cothran law is not a local OPP
ton law, it has mighty little option
about it. May be next year they
will allow some Of the intelligence
and experience of the othcrlside come
in to help make a law that will be Of
benefit to the state"

Driven From Home and Sold by Her
Father.
The Armenia colony in Worchcster
Mass, is aroused over the sale of
Mayrien Begosian, hged Ia years, by
her father to Asadoor Shadbegian.
The marriage was performed by an
Armenian priest, but he was told
that the girl was Is years old, as the
marriage license showed.
According to the story told, the
home relations Of the irl had be-
come unpleasant, owing to the pres
ecnce OF a stcpmother. The child
was ordered to leave the home and
never return. The father took the
matter philOsophically. He deter
mined to get all he could out OF the
girl while he had her, SO he arrang-
ed a sale and the child was sold to
Shadbegian, a groccryman.
When the story was learned by the
more influential members of the Ar
menian colony, they were inCcnscd
and swore out warrants for the par
ties concerned. They will move to
have the marriage annullcd, if such
n thing is possible.

TEXAS CAMPHOR FARMS.
--latest Addition to the National Re-
sources in That State.

sources in That State.
Camphor farms are the latest adj
dition to the of Texas. The
Government now has two farms in
operation in the State, which bid fair
to becoming ccnters for the produc-
ton Of the much needed article. Prac-
tically the entire supply of camphor
for the world now from For
mosa and is controlled by Japan.
CamphOr is II Of the ingredi-
ments needed in modern warfare and
is used in the manufacture Of explo-
sives used in high power guns. Now
that the Japanese government has
control OF the worlds output, it is
not certain that it could be had at
times when it would be most needed.
In order to provide for the future
the United States has started two
farms in Texas. The plan of Guilt
Walton will be different than that m
ployed In Formosa. In that Island
the plants are allowed to grow for a
time. Then they + ut down after
they have become trees and ground
to pulp and the camphor extracted.
In Texas the camphor seeds Will be
OWL like wheat.
When the small shoots have grown
to the height of four or five feet they.
will be cut a foot from the ground
and the camphor extracted. This
gives q quicker return in the crop
and n better grade OF camphor. This
can be repeated from year to
year until a new field is developed.
At the present time one acre Of cam
phor will yield $3.50 a year. The
price will fall when the cultivation
becomes more general in Texas.
