After Four Years Of Discouragine
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Upin Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.

Catron, Ky.-In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bette Bullock
writes as follows: 81 suffered for four
years. with womanly troubles, and during
this time, could only sit up for little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, would have severe pains
In my left side.
The doctor was called In, and his treat
riient relieved me for a while, but was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.

COTTON COSTS s.24c. POUND.
Statistics Gathered in 1910 Show
High Cost of Production.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The cost OF
producing cotton averaged about 6.24
cents pound, or $2O.50 an acre, &C :.
cording to Assistant Chief Nat c..
Murray, of the Federal bureau Of
crop estimates, in report just pub
lished These statistics, the latest
available on the subject, are the re-
suit Of the Investigation made in
1910. A similar investigation in
1898 showed the production cost vas
5.27 cents a pound, or $15.42 an
acre.
Many inquiries, due no doubt to
the great decline in the price OF cot
ton, which on November 1 averaged
6.1 a pound to producers, compared
with 12.1, the average of the past
five years on November 1, have been
received by the Department of Agri-
culture. Yearly reports on the pro-
duction cost are not made by the
department and the results OF the
1910 investigation had not hereto
fore been announced.
1t is pointed out by DR.. Murray
that the two Investigations indicate
material increase in the cost of pro-
ducing cotton between the two Pc
RODS, the increase averaging more
than 8 per cent year.

CLEMsON's PROPOSED Y. NJ. c. A
Building-If Erected Will Cost About
75,0OO-Notes.

Clemson College, Nov. 23.-Spe-
cial: Last Thursday morning the
corps Of cadets were required to be-
gin wearing regulation uniforms.
This is considerably later than usual
to begin wearing uniforms. They
are usually worn to the State Fair,
but we didn't go to the fair this
year The new cadets began to be
liable for sentinel duty at the same
time. A sentinel walks each hall
from 7.30 until 9.15. Another
walks until II o'clock, when all must
go to bed.
The board of trustees spent the
past several days at their semi-an-
nual meeting.
About 200 cadets and others will
leave on a special train for Atlanta
Thursday morning at o'clock and
will take in the Clemson-Tech foot
ball game. The Clemson boys have
been beaten by the University of
tennessee and by Auburn, but have
been winners in all the other games.
The anne bids fair to be a very close
one, although Tech won by big
score last year.
The Oconee boys met Saturday
night and organized a county club
They elected Fl. d. Barker president:
e. O. McMahan, vice president; S. c..
Stribling, secretary and treasurer.
The main object Of the club is to be
organized and have our picture taken
as club and put in the Annual this
year. Nearly all the counties Of the
State have county clubs, and we
didn't want to be behind.
A mass meeting of the students
and people of the community was
held in the chapel last night at 8
O'Clock. Lantern slides of the pro-
posed Y. NJ. c. A. building were
SHOWN. The plan of the building
was made by Prof. Lee, it being orig
inal. 1t will be one Of the best in
the South if it can only be realized.
After the slides several talks were
made by President Riggs, members
OF the faculty, by students and Mr..
Sweeny, president Of the local Y. NJ.
G. A. These men showed that this
is the greatest opportunity that has
ever been (and probably ever will
be- presented to the college. Mr..
Rockefeller has offered $4,000 to be
used in erecting a Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing, on condition that the trustees
give 1000 and the student body
contribute $4,000. The trustees
have promised theirs, and over half
the students share was subscribed
last year. Only a small amount of
this has been paid III, however, and
the leaders are putting forth their
greatest efforts to raise the proper
amount right away. The money
must be deposited in a bank by Jan
uary 1st. This great opportunity is
within our reach if we can only grasp
1T. Let us all hope that this great
project will not fall through. Every
boy will be given a chance and will
be urged to contribute all he can.
