Carolina: On account of the washouts
on the railroads I have not been able
to reach my friends from Florence by
mail or in person. I wish to thank
the people of South Carolina for the
magnificent vote they have given me,
and to assure them of my heartfelt
appreciation.
Time will not permit me to answer
personally the many telegrams and
letters I am receiving; but later on
will do so. In the meantime I beg
that my friends will do all in their
power to organize and have a friend
Of mine at every voting precinct.
am very much Handicapped be-
cause am poor man, and have not
the money with which to effect as
thorough an organization as I should
like; I must leave my battle with the
intelligent and patriotic people Of
the State; my hope Of success rests
entirely with them.
I have never done the State Of
South Carolina, nor its people, any
harm; on the contrary, I have given
four of the best years of my life to
helping in some degree to secure a
higher price for cotton upon which
al our people are dependent. In this
battle for the people my efforts have
not been confined to South Carolina,
but I can produce testimonials from
men of the highest character, from
every cotton producing State, that
my efforts have been equally as bene-
'ficial and fruitful in their States as
in South Carolina. Had I desired to
use-as my political enemies have
charged me-the farmers Of South
Carolina for stepping-stone to Of
flee I would have confined my work
entirely to South Carolina, but this
7 have not done.
Ny political enemies have also
charged that ! have received large
amount of money for my services. I
-assert-and I hereby append letter
from the national treasurer Of the
Southern Cotton Association-which
shows that I have received but little
more than my travelling expenses. |
have not made this fight for money or
for political preferment, but I made
it to try and help the poverty strick-

It is charged that the business men
Of South Carolina are opposed to me.
don't believe it. On the contrary,
I have letters and kilograms assuring
me Of their support.
Being a farmer and knowing per-
sonally and accutely the adverse con-
ditions under which the farmers OF
the South labored, and realizing that
from them and their efforts came the
support and sustenance of every other
business, it was therefore necessary
that the farmers Of the South be
placed in position where they could
have a living chance to better their
condition and thereby better the con-
diticn Of others. Every one knows,
who stops to consider, that the burden
of mankind is borne by the man at the
bottom; no building OF structure Is
stronger than its foundation, and [
have given my time and money to the
strengthening Of the foundation.

and elastic circulating medium. is OF

despite the lack of attention bestowed up
on the fields in certain districts, the general
prospects for the next crop are bright.

just over, the yield at the Cuban sugar

OF the weight of the ground cane, the aver
age being thus about 10 per cent, in first

"Manuelita" is mentioned as having obtain

termination of planters to dispose through
out the campaign of their sugars, as fast as
they possibly could, at ruling prices, stocks
to-day are quite reduced at all our shipping

thereby avoided the losses, which would GER
fainly have befallen them, on account of the
decrease in test and weight of the stored
sugars, had they acted otherwise.
Though quiet, the market closes frner

Editor Louisiana Planter:
Crop is now over on all the estates and
the work Of planting has begun III earnest.
Notwithstanding the severe drought which
the island passed. through last year and DUR
ing the early months of the present year,and
the heavy losses which the planters sustain
ed in consequence of the drought, the work
of planting has been resumed with increased
zeals Reports from all over the island show
that an increased acreage is being put Under
cultivation, aud planters hope, to some
extent, to retrieve the losses which they Sis
tanned.
In Hanover and Westmoreland and in st.
James, too, the dry weather did not cause so
much damage as In We're, and it is from the
estates of these parishes that the most favor
able reports come. Very many of these
estates are putting in B. 208 cane, which
from all quarters brings favorable results.
In We're the water supply is the source of
much anxiety. Estates in that district are wa
tered by irrigation. In some seasons Of the
year the water in this river gets so low that
the growth of the canes is h ampered through
the lack of it, there not being enough TO go
around. Last year the want Of water was SO
great that planters are looking for a subsi-
diary supply. For this purpose the We're

an artesian expert sent out from England.
There is q river called the Rio Minno, which
flows through We're. This river disappears
two or three times ON is way to the sea, and the
planters have al idea that it goes UNDER
ground through the sugar district. The pro-
posal is to locate large wells at various points
in the district, and these will be used in
gases of necessity. The Kingston General
Commissioner have a proposal before them,
l understand, to acquire the water rights of
Mona estate, sisuated five or six miles from
Kingston. Ibis estate, I think l mentioned
in a previous letter, is being thrown up as q
sugar estate, and will be converted into a
grazing plantation. If the water rights are
secured the water supply of Kingston will be
increased considerably. The proposal, how
ever, is still a proposal, and is likely to remain
SO for some time.
The owners of C%ayamanas estate have adj
v~ertised the machinery for sale. The entire
plant, including the light railway on the
estate, will be sold at the end Of the crop in
1909. The estate will be converted into q
banana plantation.

With the view of gaining the opinion
of other medical men concerning the
efficacy OF the habit of eating apples to
destroy the taste for liquor. a physician
corresponded with manv medical men
living in various parts of the country.
He received replies from all but three,
says London Tit-Bits.
From large majority came answers
that they had never known a case
where person was accustomed to the
free use of apples and was drunkard.
nor did they ever know of a drunkard
who was accustomed to the daily use
of apples.
From personal observation, covering
a period of more than 25 years, the
physician says he never has known a
single instance where a person who
was free eater of apples acquired the
liquor habit, nor has he known person
addicted to the free use of liquor who
was fond of apples.
