HYDROPHOBIA.
symptoms of the Deadly Disease as
- at+aoI-s Dons

AS dog days will soon be on us it
well for everyone to be very careful
In handling and playing with dogs.
Hydrophobia is a much to be
dreaded disease. 1t is the result of
a specific poison, and produces a
certain train of symptoms usually
ending in death.
!, Dogs are often thought to have
the rabies when they are merely
slightly affected by the sun.
The disease is slow and a dog
never looks wiser than when he is
beginning to go mad-mind and
body are struggling for mastery.
The symptoms Of furious rabies are
as follows:
Nervousness and restlessness to a
marked degree; refuses solid food;
refuses water; desire to abide IL
dark places; uncomfortable restless
ness.
A dog does not foam at the
mouth if he has furious rabies, as
foam can only be produced by
healthy saliva, as when chewing a
bone or running at great speed. In
hydrophobia the tongue becomes
very dry, the larynx infamed and
swollen and the poor beast emits a
hoarse, peculiar bark in his agony.
In dumb rabies the dog foams at
the mouth and generally becomes
paralyzed. There is not the desire
to bite as in the other form.
No man, or woman or child can
use too much precaution in the
handling of dogs-pets or otherwise.
A lady was mending tear in her
dress caused by the teeth of her pet
dog, not suspected of, being rabid.
She merely bit off the thread from
which she contracted hydrophobia.
In another, case a gentlemen was
reclining on the sofa when his dog
affectionately licked his cheek. In
a short while small abrasion on
his face began to tingle and smart
the dread disease had set in.

HOLD SPOT COTTON
THE MINIMUM PRICE is FIFTEEN
CENTS STRAIGHT.
Preident B. Harris of the State Far
mers' Union Issues Another Cir
cular Letter.

cular Letter..
"a President B. Harris Of. the State
Farmers Union has issued another
circular letter urging the farmers to
hold their cotton for Is cents. The
letter is as follows:
Some sixty days ago we were told
that cotton was going to eight cents
per pound. We were told this by
some of our leading business men
and cotton buyers Of our cities and
they did finally scare some of our
farmers and managed to get them
to sell some at ten cents per pound.
Now let's see what it Is selling for:
And the way from twelve to twelve
and one-half cents per pound. Now
it behooves us to investigate the
cause of this rise of ten dollars per
bale. Is it that trade conditions are
so much better, or is it that the
holding Of it Off of the market is the
cause? Surely the blind man can
see the cause.
, According to the best estimate OBJ
tainable the requirements of the
mills this year will be create" than
the supply n' acreptable g'adc' If

ing of the balance of this years
crop. On the other hand it is now
generally considered that after the
shortage Of last years crop of A.
100000 bales that the world would
need a big crop this year to supply
the demand.
A bumper crop can not he expect
ed this year because the acreage has
Lcen reduced and the crop is poor
stand, excessive rains in the west ard
the latenest of the season and doz-
en- other unfavorable conditions. 1t
is impossible that large crop can
be made with these conditions and
so there is no need to fear the alarm
ing predictions of the cotton buyers
and their allies that cotton can not
60 higher. -.
I want to tell you that the very
thing that has advanced it ten dol
lars bale in the last thirty days
will still if applied make it bring the
minimum price Is cents. Now what
Is the remedy?
Hold, hold, hold. spot cotton and
always remember futures cannot be
spun. Spot cotton is selling right
here in South Carolina, for the same
price spots are selling for in New
York and we all know it takes about
one cent per pound to carry cotton
to New York and sell it. This shows
the conditions at home needs it for
the mills. This should stimulate
every holder Of spot cotton to hold
for the minimum price. 1t Is not
too late to plant corn. You can
plant up to the tenth of July, plant
an early variety, manure and work
we'll. 1t will handsomely pay you
for your work Corn is now selling
for S1.10 cash per bushel and S1.35
on time. Remember we'll filled corn
cribs and smoke-houses will always
make cotton bring the minimum
price fired by the producer, the only
one who has right to put price
upon his product.
