GENTLEMEN:
Replying to your favor Of the 14rh
instant, unhesitatingly advise all
consumers of coal to lay in a supply
during the summer months and
thereby avoid the incoi venience
which must result on account Of a
shortage Of cars next winter which
in my opinion will be much more
acute than was the shortage of last
winter, unless the consumers lay in
their Coal supply as suggested.
You are at liberty to publish this
in the interest Of the producers and
consumers of Coal.

LIMIT OF HUMAN STRENGTH.

Experiments upon a number of
men have shown that a man five
feet high and weighing 1876 pounds
viii lift on an average 1876 pounds
through a vertical distance of eight
inches, or 217 pounds through a
height of 1.2 inches. Others 6.1 feet
high and weighing 1873 pounds could
lift the 1876 pounds to a height of
IS inches, or 217 pounds to a
height of six inches. Other men
six feet three inches high and weigh
ing 1873 pounds could lift 1876
pounds to a height of 16 inches, or
217 pounds to a height of nine
inches. By great variety of ex-
periments it was shown that the
average human strength is equiva-
lent to raising 80 pounds through a
distance of two and onehalf feet in
one second.

Good story Told Of Thomas Bailey

One of the most engaging quail

impudence.
He delighted to tell of his ex-
perience in getting his name rein
stated in the voting list of Boston
after an absence Of a year or two
from his Mt. Vernon street home.
Appearing before magistrate of
the race that, as Lowell said,
fought all our battles and got up
all our draft riots" he was asked
his name and occupation, and if he
could read. Modestly admitting
that he could ga little" he was Civ

BRIGHT IDEA WENT WRONG.

An old actor who was not much
given to the cheering glass, says
the Billboard, one evening went to
dine at the club with friend-met
several more, with the result that
late in the evening he was pretty
mellow" He left his friends and
started home and said to himself /;
'My boy, you're drunk What are
you going to do about it? I know
I'll go home and read-who ever
heard about a drunken man read
ing ?" Well, home he went in a cab
went to the library and COM
menced to read. Mrs. Actor later
appeared on the scene. "What on
earth are you doing?" she ques-
toned. "Why-er-can't-you see
what I'm doing, my dear; Pm read
ing" Reading" said his wife
scornfully, 'what are you reading? !?
He looked at the book, but couldn't
see the words, so he said "That
books been in the house for the last
20 years, so if you don't know I'm
not going to tell you" To this his
wife replied wrathfully: "You old
fool, shut up that valise and come

The great pyramid of King
Cheops was nearing completion.
"It's a wonderful structure" re-
marked the visiting monarch, gaz-
ing at it in astonishment. "What's
it for, anyway"
"It is merely-er-the first rude
beginning of the modern skyscrap-

But the truth of the matter was
that he had mislaid his copy OF
Baedeker and couldn't remember to
save his life what his original idea
was in building the thing.

Democratic President.

Senator Tillman and q host of politicians OF
less note are selecting the best man to LEAD
the Democratic hosts to defeat next year.
Any old racer, from William Billy down will
suit US. We do not care who they put up.
But one thing Is certain. We want no man
for president who would disturb'the financial
prosperity OF the country by tinkering With
the tariff. The country is now at the high
tide of prosperity, and we would let well
enough alone.
We want no man TO be president who
would throw away abandon, or give up the
Philippine Islands.
We van no man as president who would
fall to push the digging Of the Panama canal
to q successful finish.
OF course we do not expect the election Of
any obstructionist, but being chained TO the
Democratic chariot re expect to vote the
Democratic ticket, no matter how much the
Democratic nominee may wish TO disturb the
prosperity OF the country. We expect to vote
for even q tariff tiD ker, or q mar who would
throw away the Philippine Islands. or push
the city OF Charleston Into the sea. or fill up
the Panama canal, but we think the good
sense of the country would never tolerate
ouch things as the election offs Democrat.
Maybe you have forgotten the good old
days of Grover Cleveland when cotton went
down to five cents. when the business pros
perity OF the country was psralyzed, and
when the old duck hunter had 10 sell two
million dollars worth of United States bonds
to run the government in the time of a pre-.
found peace. 1t may be that You want
return OF such a disastrous government. But
that doesn't matter. We will all vote tie
Democratic ticket.

There Is nothing new in the art of
making artificial stone or cement
blocks by properly mixing sand and
cement. This art is about as old as the
country. But the recent improve
ments in the manufacturing and con-
sequent cheapening Of the cost of &C..
ment and the machinery for forming
these hollow blocks has reduced the
cost of this building material to such
an extent that 1t now looks like we are

FARMERS UNION BUREAU.
Conducted by s. G. Farmers Union
Cooperative Warehouses on the Very
Cheapest Plan.

About one year ago our Farmers
Union Bureau, was requested to get up
a simple plan for farmers warehouses
which was published in many news
papers, and in addition we had q
double edition held in stock in circu-
lar form for free distribution to all ap-
plicsnts that would enclose a two cent
stamp for same. But az our printed
circulars describing this cheap plan of
cooperative warehouse has been ex-
hsusted we appeal to the patriotism of
every paper in the south to publish
this cheap plan for Farmers Ware
houses and thus extend q hand in per-
fecting aysystem of business methods
of marketing the sodth's great money
crop that Is bound to steady, prices
and retain the profits in cotton pro-
duction for the welfare of the south.
The ~commendable features Of this
plan is that it enables every farmer to
become a stakeholder by allowing them
to invest their labor at IA leasure time
and material in lieu Of cash. If far
mcrs care to do 80 there are enough
levelheaded business men everywhere
w pun up SuOuku CdsL lOI CtmcuI duO
other bought stuff which will make 1t
practical and easy for farmers to get to
gether and turn a lot of their idle time
of themselves, teams and material in
to a profitable Investment that will
give cotton growers protection againa
the unscrupulous cotton bear and
speculative element that are at It all
the while robbing the south Of its
wealth while we are at work or asleep.
We here give extracts from one of
many letters to our Bureau that give
some idea of the widespread move
ment in building these small coope-
rative warehouses that are doing good
In teaching farmers the value Of. con-
cert action In actual labor as we'll as
bulking their materials for their mu.
tual benefit, not only In buildin 6
their warehouses but these small ware
houses In turn will unite their strengt
as pennies make dimes and dimesh
make dollars.
Really we believe that the lasting
benefits from this small warehouse
misunderstanding as it does to the
smallest farmer-the lessons of the
value of practical cooperation and
business that he would never get if he
waited for money to invest in large
warehouses.
