The Southern Farmers.

Our Home.
The efforts of the two great
farmers organizations, the Cot
ton Growers Association and
Farmers Union, to establish a
system Of marketing cotton that
will secure for the producers a
fair and just price, is opening the
eyes of Southern farmers to
their true situation as nothing
else has ever done. They are
just now beginning to learn what
| they ought to have learned so
years ago-that no people on the
face of the earth have greater op-
portunities than the Southern
farmer, and yet no class of peo.
/ pie have been more successfully
| f1eeced and robbed in the sale O
their products than the Southern
farmer in the sale of his cotton
Notwithstanding that in thiI
staple we have a complete mon

"Mr Ragland R. Brunson,
who has for several months
been acting as constable for up

stantly killed at 3 o'clock Sun
day afternoon by negro whom
he was attempting to arrest. He
had previously arrested a negro
on DIR. Stackhouoe's place, about
eight miles above Dillon, and
was returning with him in q
buggy when he met another
negro for whom he had a war
rant driving buggy. AS he
got down to serve the warraut
the man drew a pistol, firing
three shots into Mr.. Brunson,
who turned and endeavored to
get into the buggy. With the
assistance Of the negro already
under arrest he got into the
buggy and requested the m. n
to assist him to DR.. Kellar's Of
fice, about two miles back. He
lived only few minutes, d. ing

How toCatch Colds.

London World -.
Nearly every one catches cold.
Few persons knowhow it is done.
DIR. Woods Hutchinson, in the Sat-
urday:Evening Post, gives a few
simple rules for catching cold
easily. Here they are:
Keep your windows shut.
Avoid drafts, as if they were
pestilence.
take no exercise between
meals.
"Bathe seldom, and in warm
water.
Wear heavy f1annels, chest
protectors, abdominal bandages
and electric insoles.
Never go out of doors when
it's windy or rainy or wet under
foot or hot or cold or looks as
though it was going to be any o.
these
| BE just as intimate and al
fectionate as possible with every
one you know who has cold
Don't neglect them on any ac
connt."

! [ rejoice in the work it has been
doing for the betterment OF

this department has been bul
dened with the expenses of UT

Japanese Diplomat Stops a Runaway

horse was plunging wildly from side
to side, driving every one pell NELL for
shelter as 1t neared the spot where
Mr.. Hanihara stood. The young
Japanese, who stands about five feet
and is small in proportion, lodged out
of the way, but no sooner had the
horse come abreast of him than he
made a leap for the bride. The ter
rife speed of the enraged animal
made him miss his hold and swung
him under the horses hoofs, but be-
fore he completely lost his hold he
caught grip on the bride and swing
ing clear managed to climb on the
horses back and bring him to his
knees. The animal regained his feet
however, and by rearing, attempted
to throw Mr.. Hanihara from his back,
but the diplomat frightened his grip
gradually until the animal, snorting
with pain, confessed itself vanQuished.
When Mr. Hanihara reached the
embassy he summoned his physician
who found that the horse had tram

Treatment afforded little relief. as
the bones were so badly bruised that

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE

The Path to the Pasture.
The narrow path we used to tread
Led straight away from the farm
yard gate.
And down the lane to the pasture lot,
Where for our coming the cows
would wait.
Between its borders of grass and
weeds
1t bore the prints of our restless
feet,
That stepped so blithe through the
early dews.
Or Jagged along In the pulsing heat.
Above our heads curved roof of blue,
Where oft we saw the ghost of the
moon
Go drifting by with the sun-tipped
clouds
That sailed away to the port of noon.
From nodding thistle and MULLEN
stalk
The meadow larks through the sum-
IueT sang,
And from the ST. bile of harvest-fields
The bob-white's call through the
stiffness rang.
o little path of long ago!
I've wandered far from your beaten
dust,
And stumbled oft in my journeys
wide,
And lost the key to my childish
trust:
But now and then in my waking
dreams
I stand once more by the pasture
wall,
And hear again from the harvest-felds
The cheerful sound of the bob
whites CALL
