to inquiries concerning the enlarged
homestead act. The statement an
nounces that the act applies to por-
tions of Colorado, Montana, Utah,

UP to the present time there has
been designated by the secretary as
prima facie, subject to entry under
this act, 2O,250,0n0 acres in Colora-
do, 26,000,OO0 in Montana, $780,

to The home OF a negro laborer to
ascertain the reason for his failure
to report for duty the day before,
when the negro became angry and
made an attack on his employer with
knife. Mr.. Swygert fired on the
negro and killed him. There were
witnesses present and all agree that
had the shot been fired only a few
seconds later the negro would have
killed Swygert.

New Post Cards.

Those who have the postal card
writing habit should rejoice. Begin
ming with January /, 1910, Uncle
Sam is going to have better postal
cards. They will not be so close kin
to blotting paper, and the design on
the address side is to be more artis-
tic than at present.
Mr.. Hitchcock, postmaster general,
is convinced that the United States
post cards do not compare favorably
with the post cards of other coun-
tries, and has given his sanction to a
plan for improvement in design,
color and printing.
One of the innovations Of the new
card will be card much smaller
than the.,preseD5~ size, which can be
conveniently used for index pur-
poses. Business men who send out
post cards for collection Of statistics
and similar purposes have made 1t
known that it would be very con-
venient If there could be il size of
cards just large enough to be used
for index purposes. The post office
department has adopted the sugges-
ton.
With the exception of the index
cards the other cards will be the
present size, but the design, color
and finish Of the paper will be i'm
proved.

Atlanta Bars Kissing.

Atlanta, Sept. 4.-Kissing is un-
der the ban in Atlanta. It's un-
healthy and embarrassing to those
not taking part in the exercises. A
few months ago they convicted and
lined travelling man who kissed his
Wife on the street as he arrived
home from trip. The Judge an
nounced that there. was nothing per-
sonal in the case, that he would have
been fined just the same had he kiss
ed some one else's wife.
And now they have called out the
police ahd electric light company to
put stop to reckless osculation in
the public parks. The electric light
company is to erect lights every now
and then in the parks so that the
kissing squad may catch and arrest
the awful violators of the law.
People who live near the parks say
that they are driven from their We
randas every pleasant night by the
wholesale love-making under their
very noses. So the word has gone
forth. No kissing goes.

COTTON MONEY AT Q PER CENT.
Will Help the Producers In Market
i'm Their Crops.
Greenwood Journal.O


OF Importance OF the, highest or
der to the cotton growers of South
Carolina and neighboring States is
the announcement Of the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company, of Colum-
bia, that 1t is prepared to advance
money on receipts for cotton stored
with the Standard Warehouse Com
pany, having warehouses in Green
wood, Greenville, Orangeburg, New
berry, Anderson and Columbia, at 6
per cent interest.
The Significance of this statement
to the cotton producers is measured
by the fact that last season and
heretofore the rate of interest on
loans secured by bonded warehouse
receipts has been per cent.
Meanwhile the Standard Ware
house Company, with which the Far
mers' Loan and Trust Company is In
close alliance, the principal business
of the latter being to advance money
on the cotton receipts issued by the
warehouse company, is prepared to
receive and store cotton at lower
rates thar are to be obtained from
any other warehouse system in this
country.
What the reduction in interest
rates saves to the farmers may be
thus illustrated: When the owner
of bale of cotton keeps it at home
he must pay 8 per cent at the bank,
the interest for six months on $50
advanced bale being therefore 50.
This bale of cotton Is not insured
against damage or loss by fire, wea-
ther or stealing, and the difficulty of
borrowing money on it is necessa-
rily the greater. or course the
amount of money advanced on
bale OF cotton is variable sum
depending on the market price of
the cotton, and $50 is taken solely
for the purpose of the Illustration
At per cent the interest on $50 for
six months Is $3.50. The cost of
storage IN one of the Standards
the bale, with cents for handling
and cents for weighing and grad
ing added the first month, making
the total cost for six months 81. In
terest at 6 per cent, and warehouse
charges together make $3.50 for six
months. In other words the farmer
storing with the Standard Ware
house, and borrowing from the Far
mers Loan and Trust Company at
the same time, has his bale Of cot
ton insured against fire, weather and
stealing for SO cents for six months.
That is to say, he is enabled to hold
his cotton at net cost to him of
1-3 cents month for each bale.
The officers of the Standard Ware
house Company are: II. B. Stack
house, president; J. x. burst, sec
ond vice president. The directors
are: l.. w. Parker, Greenville; G. e.
Summer, Newberry; r. e. Wanna
maker, Orangeburg; r. E. Ligon,

will be increased. The reason Is that
