their cotton. 1t has now reached
fine price, and many of the farm

ed to remain In the weather subpect
climatic conditions, and will not pos
sess the element of damage, and viii!
also retain it's strength of staple even
to the bagging.
Travel where you will, and you
will see cotton sitting at the rail-
road stations in the mud and rain.
or you will see it lying on the
ground around farm houses, where
it will remain until ready for IN
ket; and when marketed, the bag
ging will he so rotten that you can.
not handle the cotton.
Owing to the seeming negligence
displayed in the care of cotton afte"
ginning, the buyer, when purshs ,ng
lot of cotton, has to take into coll
sideration the element of damage.
or he would rather seId his cl1sser
to receive the cotton, thereby estab-
fishing the amount OF damage before
payment is made. Where you find q
section of country where great care
is taken with the cotton, after gin
ming, and before marketing, there
you will find cotton sought after by
the buyers, and, everything else be-
ing equal, a premium will be paid
for same.
The manufacturer will pay better
prices for cotton free from rot and
country damage, because his percent
age of waists will be decreased.
The point I desire to impress is:
Take care of your cotton, handle it
as though you thought something of
it. If you cannot put it in ware
house, where it Is insured and you
can use the receipt, put it in your
barn, or shed room, or anywhere to
keep it from climatic condition un-
til you market it, and by doing this
every pound will be spinnable, and
no dissatisfaction between producer,
buyer and manufacturer will result.
There are some places in South
Carolina where warehouse facilities
are adequate, but are unfortunately
not utilized. My own experience is
that four lots of cotton out Of every
five shipped from places where cot
ton is not warehoused are badly
damaged; due to the fact that 1t Is
allowed to sit on one end for weeks
and months in the open before 1t is
offered for sale. and as a result,
heavy claims are made. and yet the
best character of cotton, so far as
body and staple Is concerned, Is pro-
duced at these places, and would be
very much sought, were the element
of damage eliminated.
In conclusion, would strongly
urge that this matter be brought to
the attention of all concerned, and
thereby save twelve and one-half
million dollars per year to the South
land. Very truly yours,
John D. Frost.

Small Registration.


= Only APT electors qualified them
selves to vote in the coming mu-
nicipal election by registering. This
is lis less than. the number that
registered : to participate lin the
municipal election two years ago.
For that election $50 electors regis
tered. "A number of electors who
tried to register was not allowed
to do SO because they had failed to
have their. State registration tickets
changed from Orange" to City"
township, as the law requires. Su-
pervisor Inabinet has turned over
the registration books to City Clerk

WAS STARTED HERE
GROWTH OF THE FREE DELIV.
ERY IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
The First Routes In This State Were
'..r ;,-.,.-.l. ,'f"r
Established in Orangeburg and
Darlington Counties.

Darlington Counties.
Few people who do not live on
some line of the rural mail edlivery
system and is served by carrier
has any idea what convenience it
issto the people living in the country
districts. Some very interesting
data has just been made public by
the postofice department concering
the rural mail delivery in South
Carolina. J.
1t may. not be generally known
to- the people of this section, but
it is fact, that on March 1, 1899,
the rural delivery mail system, was
first introduced in the State Of South
Carolina. On that day two routes
were established out of Cope, one
out of Orangeburg, and two out of
st. George postoflces, the routes
having an average length of 23.S
miles.
During that fiscal year total Of
of forty routes, covering nine hum
dred and twenty-one miles of road,
were established in the State, and
during the next fiscal year this num-
Der was increased by ten routes. In
1901 the number of routes was more
than doubled, there being 1913 in
operation on December 2. The num-
ber of routes increased until 1908
when there was a marked falling off.
MosE of the territory available for
routes in the State has been covered.
On August 8, of this year, there
were $50 routes in operation. The
routes cover 1882 miles Of terri
tory, with an average. of 1888 to
the routs, serving approximately
100000 persons with an annual cost
of: about s66S.79O. Up to the pres
ent time the service has been reor-
ganized on a county basis in sixteen
counties in the State, ad others will
follow as rapidly as practicable.
The steady increase in business
over the routes IS evidence that the
people appreciate them. The post
office department has received let
ter from a well known publisher in
the State, stating that with the in
troGuction Of the rural mail carrier
that his circulation has increased
several hundred per cent, which we
think has been the experience Of
most publishers.

claim that Murph when he sold the

lost one half cent per pound by not

should the buyer not detect it, the
buyer is the loser, in any event,
dissatisfaction is the result, all of
which could have been avoided by
housing the cotton. The amount of
country damage varies in proportion
to the time the cotton lies out in
the weather, and will vary from
three to twenty-five pounds per bale.
I have carefully estimated that on
every 100000 bale crop produc-
ed, the producer, the carrier and
the compress together allow $780,
900 bales to be destroyed by rot
and country damage, and when you
figure this at ten cents per pound
it amounts to S12,500. 1000, all of
which could be saved to the produc-
er, the buyer and the manufacturer.
should they exercise the proper pre-
caution against damage.

of the bales were SO badly damaged

one thousand pounds a bale. l ask

that he was so busy making prepara-
tions for another crop that he had
not cared for what he had already
made When the cotton was condi-
toned for market he had about ten
bales of merchantable cotton left out
of the twenty. A bale, of cotton gid

FAM TAN BANKER
IS HEAVILY FINED

Chow Pong, who was charged with
conducting fantan game at Waipahu
was fined 5000 in the police court yes
terday morning. This is one of the
heaviest fines assessed against a Chi.
nese charged with gambling.
The warrant was sworn to personally
by A. NJ. Brown, prosecuting attorney,
on September 16. The game is said
to have been conducted just outside the
plantation in sort of stockade, where
Korean watchers have been posted. The
plantation officials have often reouest.
ed that this particular bunch of gam
blers be raided but for some reason or
another the gamblers continued to
gamble without hindrance.
The prosecution employed as a wit
ness against Chow Pong, his former
cashier, who testified that he was paid
when Chow Pong had lucky strokes on
the fantan table, but he received no
pay when the players started in to
break the bank.
An appeal was noted and bond
was yesterday fled for Chow Pong,s
appearance in the Circuit Court.

Orientals who are alleged to have vio-
lated the license law, appeared on yes
