Inflated Crop Estimates.

In regard 10 cotton the belief is
industriously fos;ere6 tina: there will
be a bumper crop gathered. Tie
slump in price as the time for harvest
ing the new crop approached indi-
Gates how this belief has taken hold.
Everywhere, by men who can only
form their opinion by the reports
presented to them, this view is led
They are firm in the faith for bum
per crop will be picked. The latest
government report issued only few
days ago, has fortified them In this
belief. They place full confidence in
this report. Yet it is absolutely Ger.
tain that this report is erroneous and
that all conclusions basef& on it and
like reports are dvJmed to come to
grief.
The prospect for a large cotton
crop was really flattering during the
early part of the season. A bumper
crop then seemed by no means ini-
possible. But the prospect is any
thing but flattering now. The con-
dition of cotton has ieterioratad
rapidly during the past two weeks.
Since the last government report was
issued greater damage has been done
the growing cotton crop shan was ey-
er experienced in the same length OF
time. One has but to see the cotton
fields in this section to realize how
the crop has suffered. The wilted
leaves and dried-up forms tell the
story of the damage that has been
done so plainly that even the mex
perienced can understand it we'll.
And the same applies more or less
to every section of the cotton belt. 1t
means that there will be no bumper
crop. More than that 1t means that
there will barely be an average
yield. And this means that those
who pin their faith on the belief of
a bumper crop will awake to find
themselves mistaken. Those who
make investments based on that be-
lief will find themselves in hole.
The present price of cotton is too low
for the largest yield that is now
POSSIBLE with the condition of cot
ton deteriorated as it is. The above
which we take from the Augusta
Herald describes the situation eX-
acrly.

Notice.

Notice of application for appoint
ment of And. c. Dibble, Judge of
Probate for the County Of Orange
burg, as Guardian of the estates
of Quintilla Henrietta Dantzler,
Fred Cannon Dantzler, Alice Eliza
beth Dantzler and Lewis Marshall
Dantzler.
Notice is hereby. given that the un-
ersigned will make application to the
Hon. Robert E. Copes, Judge of the
First Circuit, at his Chambers, in the
City of Orangeburg, on the sixteenth
day OF September 1911, at 10 o'clock
a m, or as soon thereafter as petit
tioner an be heard, for an order ap-
pointing Andrew C. Dibble as Guar
dian of the estates of said Quintilla
Henrietta Dantzler, Fred Connor
and Lewis Marshall Dantzler, minors,
of the ages Of twenty, seventeen, fif-
teen and twelve years. respectively.
Each of the said minors has an estate
of about two hundred and seventy
five (275) dollars, consisting of cash
derived chiefly from the estate OF
their mother, and an undivided inter-
est in the real estate of their father,
deceased, the late DR.. F. W. Dant-
zler, which real estate is situated in
Orangeburg county, in said state, the
annual rents and profits whereof do
not exceed the sum of one hundred

F. W. Dantzler, was guardian of the

MRS, MIcGILL
BROKE Down
Gives the Real Facts In Regard to
Her Case and Tells How She
Suffered.

Jonesboro, Ark.-"I suffered a com.
plete break down in health, some time
ago." writes Mrs. A. McGill, from this
place. II was very weak and could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.
One day, got bottle Of Cardui. It
did me so much good, was surprised,
and took some more.
Before I took Cardui, had headache
and backache, and sometimes I would
cry for hours. Now am over all that,
and can do all kinds of housework. I
think 1t is the greatest medicine on
earth"
In the past fifty years, thousands Of
ladies have written, like Mrs. McGill,
to tell of the benefit received from
Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women,
surely indicates the great value Of this
tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to
women. Are you sufferer? Yes?
Cardui Is the medicine you need.
We urge you to try 1t.

Wants the Price Fixed.

The prosperity Of all business in
terests in the South depend upon the
farmers of the South getting reas-
enable price for their cotton. 1t is
within the power of the cotton pro-
ducer to get reasonable price for
his cotton this season. as we have
pointed out before, if he will feed
the market and not glut it. AS will
be seen by an article which we pub
lish in this issue from the Atlanta
Constitution Mr.. John BOstwick, of
Bostwick, Ca, one of Georgia's best
known farmers, presents a plan
through the observance Of which he
is confident that the farmers would
receive at least twelve and half
cents a pound for this years crop.
The price is reasonable from
whatever standpoint viewed, and
there is no reason why the producer
should not get every cent of it for
every pound of cotton sold. the At
lanta Constitution says. The crop
Mr.. Bostwick points out, was made
on the basis of a selling price of
twelve. and a half cents; the spin
ners took last years crop at an aver
age of fourteen cent, and used up
every bale of it; no good reason,
therefore, exists why they should
not take the present crop at twelve
and a half cents and make money on
it The minimum price at twelve

and half cents agreed upon, there
is no reason why non-union farmers,
merchants and bankers should not
through state conventions, indorse
this action and lend all their influ-
ence to maintain this price.
In other words to quote the Con-
stitution, put the world on notice
that the South is not raising any
eleven cent cotton, and the warehouse
receipts will carry every farmer who
needs it until such time as the mar
ket will give him the price fixed as
a minimum. Mr.. Bostwick says if
the farmer hopes to get fair and
reasonable price for his product, he
must not glut the market with it in
the early months Of the harvesting
season, when as experience has too
we'll shown, heavy selling is the pri-
mary cause of beating down the mar
ket below a living figure. There is
only one plan by which the farmer
may save himself, and that is to
watch the market, sell when it is
right, and hold back when it is de-
pressed by heavy receipts of other
causes. This is just what Mr.. Bost'
wick's plan contemplates, only he
urges that it be done, insofar as pos
sible, through organized effort,
which is of course, the most effective
method. If cotton producers will
agree upon IL 1-2 cents as a mini
mum price and stick to it, they will
get it, and that, too, comparatively
early in the coming season.

Guess About Crop a Fraud.

Nearly every department Of the
National Government at Washington
seems to be run in the interest Of
crooks and gamblers instead Of the
people. The Investigation now 60
ing on in the pure food and drug di-
vision of the Agricultural Depart
ment has revealed some crooked
things that involves it's head as well
as other former cabinet members.
In the midst of its numerous investi-
cations, which have been so prolific
of sensations, the Democrati. House
of Representatives should nat over
look the Department of Agriculture,
which we believe to be honey-comb-
ed with all sorts of rascality.
Take as example, the remarkable
piece OF official guessing as to the
probable size of the coming cotton
crop, which has cost the farmers of
the South thousands of dollars. This
official guess was made before all the
cotton crop was planted, and was is
sued of course entirely for specula-
tive purposes. How much The ras-
calls in the Agricultural Department
WHO contracted the scheme, made
out OF it will possibly never be
known. It will be remembered that
some years ago some Of the high
officials in the Agricultural Depart
ment were caught at similar rascali-
tv and nominally punished.
It will be remembered that the
crop reporting bureau Of the Agri-
cultural Department, disregard1ng
the law and invarible custom, upon
the basis Of the growing crop condi-
ton of June %, made prediction
as to the size Of the cotton crop of
this year, putting it at 100000
bales. This wild guess Of an unpre-
cedentedly large crop, hao most
disastrous effect on the market,
causing the price of cotton to decline
from fifteen to eleven cents a pound.
The guessers in the Agricultural De-
partment were evidently with. the
bears, and no doubt secretly divided
the profits made ouf of the trans
action.
Every practical farmer in the
South knows that it is impossible to
tell in June what a cotton crop will
do in December, and that is exactly
what the guessers in the Agricultural
Department pretended to do. No one
objects to the Agricultural Depart
ment gathering and publishing true
reports as to the crop condition of
cotton, but gueses in June as to- the
probable yield Of the crop of this
year is palpable fraud, and 10 one
knows it better than the rascals who
made it. Senator Smith, in calling
attention to this break of the Depart
ment of Agriculture and its result,
has rendered distinct public ser
vice. The apology Of the Secretary
and the pledge that it shall not occur
again have not remedied the harm
already done.
