Talk of championship Series.

The great question which is a,gitat- ing the tans Of WiIlimantfc is whether the Emeralds will play the Independ- ents in series for the championship of the city, and who comprises the members of the latter team. The latest news from the war has no interest for them, once the subject of baseball is started, It seems there are two fac tions, each claiming to be running the Independents, and the Emeralds do not know with whom to treat. The argu- ment between the three crowds is still continuing, and wherever a good sized crowd is seen on the streets nights one may be sure baseball is being dis cussed. The latest news is that the Emeralds will play the fast Hartford Independents Labor day on the fair grounds. leaving the Willimantic In- dependents to get together and make some kind of proposition.

 the removal of the body to Smiths Undertaking rooms and if relatives

Rlohland County Farmers Union
Meet and Discuss the Sotton
Situation.

Columbia bia.-Richland County Farm
ers' Union met in regular session re-
Gently with representatives from near.
ly all the local unions and some visit
ing members present making good
attendance
Addresses by T. W. Scruggs and E..
J. Watson on the cotton situation
were heard with interest. Col. Wat
son described the arrangements that
had been made to help the farmers to
secure credit and advances on their
cotton when properly warehoused and
urged the farmers to take advantage
of these arrangements and hold their
cotton of the market.
The committee on the organization
of the Richland County Rural Credit
Society reported progress and was
continued.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That we urge upon the
members of the farmers union and
I'LL OlHeI ldIliltIo uOl W oSii ohy wv
ton at all for at least 80 days.
Resolved, That we hold all cotton
and cotton seed until we have ex-
hausted every possible source Of cred
II thereon"
The union placed itself on record
as opposing the present low price paid
by the mills for cotton seed and urges
the farmers to hold their seed unless
better price is paid or a more
equitable exchange Is proposed. A
pound of meal for pound Of seed is
considered by the union to be just and
fair.
1t was resolved that committee OF
three, with the county president as
chairman, be appointed to visit the
banks in Richland county to ascertain
their attitude in reference to the ex-
tension of loans made to farmers and
rendering them financial assistance In
this crisis. The committee is COM
posed of c. w. Suber, president OF
the county union; F. H. Roberts and

Most Of the men and women In the

curious difference Of sex. To pulp
some fifty letters 1t may be said that
the general view Is that the average
woman strikes a match away from her
because she wants to light something
away from her body, and man takes
the other direction because he wants
to light a pipe-in his mouth. But
wait! The man Is the economist In
the striking Of matches. He knows

Busy Bees.

No wonder the honey bees have been
given the honor Of being the busiest
little creatures alive. A scientific ex.
pertinent has shown that e. red clover
blossom contains on an average less
than one-eighth Of grain Of sugar.
There being 1000 grains in pound,
the bee that makes a pound of honey
must obtain its material from no less
than $4,000 clover heads. But this Ia
not all. In order to get the nectar the
bee is compelled to insert Its proboscis
into each floret or flower tube COM
posing the head Of clover, and there
are, 1t Is said, about sixty forets In
every head. The insect must, there
fore, perform this operation 60 times
5000, or 3,S60,OOO times. in order to
obtain a pound Of nectar.
