Lotion Is KinQ.


With over 100000 bales of cot
ton to be marketed in South Caro-
dina this year, at the existing prices,
the income from the ba,el cotton
wiR fall little short of $50, 100000.
IN addition to this, if all the seed is
sold, an additional SS,500,ooO will
be paid for that product to the
farmers of the Palmetto State.
This means much more for South
Carolina than most people think at
first glance. 1t means, first of ALL
8 prosperity never before known to
hardworking, striving people. 1t
means also the forging ahead of a
State now leading in many other
branches of industry. 1t means a
great stride for worldwide recognl-
tiop of the South's greatest product
cotton.
1t may truly be said with Henry
Grady:
"Cotton-What a royal plant it
is! The world waits in attendance
on its growth; the shower that falls
whispering on its leaves is heard
around the earth; the san that shines
on 1t is tempered by the prayers of
all the people, the frost that chills
ut and the dew that descends from
the stars are noted, and the trespass
of little worm upon its green leaf
is more to England than the advance
of the Russian army on the Asian
outposts.
And as writer has recently put
1t:
"You get up in the morning from
a bed clothed in cotton; you step on
a cotton rug; you let in the light by
raising a cotton window shade; you
wash with soap made partly from
cotton oil; you dry your face on a
cotton towel; you array yourself
chiefly in cotton clothing; the silk
in which your wife dresses is proba-
bly, mercerlzed cotton; at the break
fast table you do not get away from
King Cotton; cotton oil has proba-
1ly taken the place of lard in the
sbiscult you eat and even these may
be made of cotton seed -four; the
Sbeef and the mutton are probably
fsttened on cotton seed meal and
shulls; your imported olive oil' is
more likely from a Texas cotton
farm than from an Italian villa;
your butter is probably product of
Southern cotton seed meal, and is
certainly improved if about 20 per
cent. of cotton oil has been added in
the churning; the coal that burns
in the fire may have been mined by
the light of cotton oil lamp; sheep

Gives China

Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, Chinese
ambassador, who is in Boston ~

ment:
Il shall make public the contents a.
an official note which | received from
Secretary Root, which shows hettor
than anything else can the remarkablv
high sense of justice which the United

Boxer troubles China agreed to nav an
indemnity of 1924, 400, 1881 on az.
count of the losses suffered by the
United States government, as well as
for personal property lost by her Cit.
lens during the Boxer campaign. Four
years ago your government was good
enouh to promise me that when the
time arrived, as q token of sincere
friendship for China, the original flo.
ure of tho indemnity would be revised.

which had been set at $l1 sos, 492.69
That, as you can see, will save China
over $12, 900, 900 and also an in crest
of per cent.
"You can not emphasize too strongly

stand that Dwyer promised him $3.50
for filing on timber claim and thai

proof. After deciding the land to Ket-
tenbach and Kester he received a
check for $685.
