Of South Carolina fall In line with
the Georgia banks, and agree to lend
money literally on the security of
warehoused cotton. 1t would be of
vast benefit to the State. There is
now much money in the banks lying
idle, Oil which the banks might just
as well be drawing interest; many
merchants are handicapped by un-
paid accounts Of planters, and the
latter are harrassed In their efforts to
hold cotton by reason Of their In
debtedness. A united agreement on
the part of the banks to lend money
literally on stored cotton would rem
edy the whole matter, enabling them
to put out at interest much money
now lying idle; the farmer could
then liquidate his debts to the mer-
chant. and then have no one pushing
him to sell his cotton.
This is, we think, wise solution
Of the matter that the Georgia banks
have adopted, and we would be glad
to see a similar movement on the
part of the banks of this State. The
thing for the South to do is to aban-
don the practice of getting the
SOuth's main money crop out of the
planters hands at a low price. An
advance is always paid to the specu-
lators later, and why not pay the ad
vance to the ones in our very midst
who produce this crop, and who In
turn spend their earnings in the
South?

A RECIPE FOR CURING HAMS.
The Famous Virginia Method Fully
Explained.

Select six fresh pork hams, 16
pounds each; rub over the aGsh side
OF these a mixture of 2 pounds of
brown sugar, u pound Of saltpeter,
"A pound Of black pepper, and B
pound of red pepper with salt
enough to cover the hams-about 3
quarts to the 100 pounds. Pack in
tub or box with the skin downward.
Let them remain six weeks, then
hang by strings and smoke with
greenwood (hickory is preferable) a
few hours each day for ten days. Rub
over with hickory ashes, and leave
them hanging for three weeks, after
which wrap in paper and put In bags.
They are best from one to two years
after curing.
Hams cured as above, being un-
surpassed in quality and flavor, need
to be boiled in water only. To cook
the ham, soak in cold water six to
eight hours, wash and scrape thor
oughly, put in a closed boiler nearly
full Of cold water; let come to a
boil, then simmer slowly, allowing <
% minutes to the pound. When
cone, let the ham remain in the Ii
quor until cold, remove the skin,

tened with sherry wine, cover with
cracker dust, and put in hot oven a
few minutes until nut brown.
Serve on platter garnished with

THE LAST SyGNEIs.

In recent issue Of the Columbia
State appeared an article relative to
the secession convention. This arti-
Gle was written by Col. Robert A.
Thompson, Of Walhalla, in 1901, and
was reprinted. being used in connec-
tiOn with the death of the lamented
DR.. Jas. II. Carlisle. In this connec-
ton the State says:
by the death Of Dr.. Jas. II. Car
lisle, Col. Thompson becomes the
last survivor of those l21 men whose
names are appended to the Ordinance
of Secession. And it is a singular
fact that his name was 6lSt on the

60 after him. Col. Thompson was
for years editor Of the Keowee Cou-
ricr OF Walhalla. Even SO late as
1900 he was a member of the Legis-
laturc. He always takes an interest
in what is going on"
And tO-iay, we might add, this
same venerable gentleman is one Of
the most interested and careful fol-
lowers of the proceedings Of the
Court of Sessions i'm Walhalla. In
ter day he drives from his rural home
to his Office on the Court House
Square and spends his time reading
and in the study of his legal cases.
He pays little attention to the crimi-
nal side OF Court save as a student of
each case for his own satisfaction.
but on tn" civil side he is still fire.

HOLDING COTTON IN GEORGIA.

The farmers Of Georgia are to-day
Stat" in their efforts to secure >
cents a pound for cotton. The At
lanta Constitution of last Saturday
contained this announcement Of the
ncnt banks and bankers over the
state:
Banks in Georgia. have agreed to
loan, upon cotton stored in Farmers
Union Warehouses in this State, a
sum aSGrrGating several million dol
lars, to the end that tn" commodity
thus financed may be ncid until the
price reaches - cents.
That was the announcement made
yesterday on brhuli OF the Farmers
Union by r. f.. Duckworth, former
State president. aud now chairman OF
the national executive committee.
The agreement has actually been
executed. Mr.. Duck worth says, and
it will 20 into effect to-day
The banks subscribing to the ar
rAngCmCnt Will advance money up to
Il basis OF IL cents a pound valua-
tiOn. For this accommodation. il -
llub'l SlbDN- Iul'l'Ht - NIltI Stt Oh Il
basis OF per cent.
The announcement by Mr.. DuCk-
worth yesterday comes as the. culmi-
nation OF Il years effort in this dirCC-
ton. NCgOtiatiOnS OF various nature
and extent have been under way for
that length OF time, gradually matur-
ing, until yesterday an agreement
was reached entirely satisfactory to
all parties.
The arrangement will become cf-
fcCtiNc at once. so that members own
ing cotton stored in warehouses and
pressed for funds, may to-day ap-
proach the banks designated by their
officials and obtain sufficient funds to
rriicN" their immediate needs.
This action on the part Of the
GC0rNia banks will be OF material
benefit to the farmers Of that State,
and not alone to the farmers, but to
the business men in general, and it
gives the planter a much better op-
portunity TO meet his obligations and
still hold his own for the protection
Of his own best interests.
1t WILL Of course. be held by the
cotton gamblers that this "holding
movement" for 5 cents Is unjust and
unreasonable, but we fail TO see it in
that light. IT the 1909 cotton crop
is sold out Of the farmers hands the
spectators are going to hold it af-
ter it Is In their hands. The mills
Will have to pay the advanced price,
and 1t is a great deal better that they
should pay 1t to the producer In the
South than to the speculator in the
North
We would be glad to see the banks
