We have, at different times, urged
the Importance Of providing shed

A very large proportion Of the farm

rust and rot out long before they
would be beyond use from ordinary
wear. This tax from exposed i'm

would to build shed to house them.

We wish to- keep you reminded that

can spare for the purpose, it will pay
you to plant it to camphor trees.

that drug, showing that camphor gum

Col. J. C. Stribbiing, who conducts
the Farmers Union Bureau, which
constitutes a department in many OF
the South Carolina papers, writes this
week as follows:
1--WE desire to make 1t plain to all
concerned that when we urge farmers
to hold their cotton off the Market
we are talking to that class OF cotton
growers who are in position to DO so.
In the outset we urged every farmer
to arrange his debts first, as best ne
could, by storing his cotton or otner-
wise, and keep all the weak cotton OH
the market. But now, since New YORK
has combined to refuse money to our
southern banks to keep this weak cot
ten off the market, 1t seems that those
cotton growers who have placed them
selves in such a hazardous position OF
growing cotton exclusively with which
to buy their living, even down TO tne,r
daily bread, are in hard luck. and are
likely to pay a heavy penalty Tor not
growing their home supplies, ana
placing their financial destiny In the
hands Of a gang of worthless gamblers.
Bows. come out from under these rop-
bers and grow your own supplies.
That Is the idea. If the holding
movement fails this year it will be be-
cause of debts. When the farmers
make themselves independent along
the lines suggested by Col. Stribbling'
there will be nobody in Europe or
America to say when, how or where
they shall sell their cotton.

Protection Of the Game.
Anderson Intelligencer: The game
warden Of York county has shown his
activity by bringing an offending nun
ter within the clutches Of the law. 1t
Is to be hoped that his good example
will be followed by the game wardens
of other counties in which the law Is
being violated in any way. So far as
we have been able 60 learn, there was
at least the past season a very con-
siderable violation Of the law In the
matter Of the sale Of partridges. Thls
Is one custom that every huntsman
lends his best effort to break up by
not indulging in himself, nor permit
ting others to do so.

Pottsville, Pa November 13: In
prisoned for eighty-seven hours sew
eral hundred feet beneath the surface
Of the earth, almost directly under his
own home, where his wife and chill
dren mourned for him as dead, Mich
ael McCabe of Gilberton was today
taken from his tomb In the Draper
mine barely ahye after one Of the most
marvellous rescues in the history of
anthracite mining. Since Saturday
afternoon, when the top Of the cham
Der in which he was working caved In
and caused a rush Of culm and water
from the surface, relays Of workmen
toiled increasingly to reach him. Short
iy after midnight the rescuers detect
ed scratching noise which told them
that McCabe was still living and with
renewed vigor fresh reliefs were put to
work and at o'clock this morning he
was reached. He had not changed his
position from the time the rush occur
red as he feared that by moving about
another rush Of culm might start
which would end his life. When res
cued he said he thought he had been
imprisoned for at least week and
was so weak for want of water and
food that he could scarcely speak. He
was taken to his home, where the house
of mourning was changed to one OF
rejoicing. Arrangements were made
last night to bore a hole in the hope
Of reaching the entombed miner and
supplying him with water and food
until his rescue could be made In case
he still lived.
