TO SAVE MILLIONS
ON COTTON CROP
Senator Il. ID. Smith Urges Standard
Grades-POints to the Need.


Washington, Feb. 14.-A saving of
$75,000,000 a year to the cotton grow
ers Of the South. 1t Is estimated by
Senator ID. d. Smith of South Carolina,
would result if the amendment he
proposes to offer to the agricultural
appropriation bill is adopted. He
would appropriate about $1,000,000 to
furnish each shipping point in the
South set Of government standard
grades of cotton, together with set
of samples showing the spinning val
ue Of each grade, so that hereafter
producers of cotton might not be de-
ceived by buyers and by values arbi-
trarily fixed by cotton exchanges.
Senator Smith received today from
the department Of agriculture the re-
suits of it's test as to the different
grades of cotton standardized by the
government to determine the amount
Of waste In converting a given num-
ber Of bales into yarn; to establish
the actual strength OF the yarn from
each grade; to bleach the cotton and
yarn from each grade. and to deter
mine the cost and result of bleaching.
Only the full grades" were tested.
Taking the whole findings" said
Senator Smith, "on an average the
difference between the high grades
and the low grades as now quoted in
tho market is from $40 to SIS bale.
Assuming the average crop at 10000
900 bales, it is conservative to esti-
mate one-lraf Of the crop at middling
This would give 100000 below the
mdding grades. and calculating that
the farmers have lost. because of lack
OF this knowledge, an average Of $40
bale, it would mean an annual loss
to the cotton farmers Of $75,000,000."
Middling fair yarn, tested as to its
strength in the unblcachcd form,
broke at Cos pounds pressure IN its
blcachcd form at 66.7 pounds pressure;
good mdding at 632 in the unbleach-
ed form, and at Gl.5 in the bleached.
On the matter Of waste there was
1872 per cent in middling fair; $40 in
good mddling, 1898 in mdding, 2.39
il low mddling and l6.i7 in good or
dinary.

WHEN OUT or SORTS START
YOUR LIVER WORKING
No Matter What Ais You. DOdSOn's
Liver Tone is Usually Big Help In
Getting We'll. Avoid CnlOmcl.


Nine times out OF ten, when you are
i'll or out of sorts, your liver is out of
order and getting it in order again will
make you feel better. When your liy-
cr is sluggish and torpid and you are
cOnstpatcd and bilious, 1t is impOSsi-
bic to feel well.
There was time when great
number Of people took calomcl when
SO troubled. But this is not true to-
day. 1t has become widely known that
calomcl often has bad aftcrcilccts and
is even dangerous to many. The use
Of DodsonS Liver Tone instead OF cal
oncl has spread Wonderfully because
it has proved SO beneficial in so many
households.
The I.aurcnS Drug Co. recommends
and guarantees DodSons Liver Tone
instead Of calomel and guarantees to
refund purchase price (50c) to YOU in
stantly without question if you are
not perfectly pleased with the way in
which it relieves you from constipa-
ton, sick headache. biliousness, etc.
1t "livens the liver" and is a pleasant
tasting, vegetable liquid, easy to take
and causes no pain, no grippe, no bad
results, no change from your regular
duties and habits.
To test Dodsons Liver Tone is a
sensible matter because you get your
money back If you are not satisfied.

WHY THE QUARANTINE.

For the informatioI Of our Ncwbcr-
the city council Of Iaurcns was not
the active party in trying to get rid Of
the carnival when the quarantine was
ordered Sunday. The city council had
expressed itself as being in favor Of
the carnivalS coming when it granted
1t license and no action has been
taken since that time to Indicate any
change of feeling among that body.
The true facts in the case are that the
council granted license to the earn
lVal company in the face Of strong op-
position and the merchants dctcrmin-
ed TO exclude the company with other
means at hand. While the people of
Laurcns arc quite ready to admit that
the coming Of the carnival was a very
determining factor in the decision to
quarantine against Ncwberry, It Is
probable that it would have been or
dcrcd anyway after conditions as do
exist were brought to light Certainly
the board OF health, whether it en-
dorsed the carnival or not, would not
have allowed it to come here from a
small pox stricken city. That the
small pox situation has reached dan
gerous proportions can be Judged from
the questions asked by DR.. Geo. 3.
Cromer in Tuesdays Observer, as fol-
lows:
please tell us what the board of
health is doing to protect this com
munity against smallpox.
please tell us what the town coun-
Gil is doing.
"If they are doing nothing, 1t is up
to them to tell dis why"
If such q sensible man as lDr. Crom-
cr Thinks the situation Ia threatening,
snre'" Laurens had right to protect
herself against 1t.

lot provided for, the people will only

for or against the system, whereas
they ought to be allowed, if they must
vote on the question, to say whether

We do not believe that the people care
about voting on the question, anyway.

they would rather have the delegation
decide themselves either to retain the
system, change it or do away with it
and then rest on the record This is

SEEDLESS MELONS.
One of Senator Swink's Practical
Iokes Comes to Life.

The Denver Field and Farm brings
to life an old-timc joke of Senator
Swink's. as follows:
Would you like to grow seedless
Watermelon The trick is very sim
pie. When the petals fall from a
healthy blossom on watermelon
vine there is left the nucleus of a
watermelon. Press this part of the
vine down into the soil and hold it
there with clothes pin. Then place
shovelful of dirt back on the vine
between this tiny watermelon and
the main stem which nourishes it.
The buried part of the vine will send
out tendrils to form new rootlets
which in turn throw shoots upwards.
These new vines take on speedy
growth and produce watcrmelons
which are seedless and this is the Sc
cret OF all the clatter we have been
hearing OF late years about this form
of the fruit. .H--#
Senator Swink took up this line of
investigation at our suggestion near
ly twenty years ago and had 4 good
deal OF fun with it among the horti-
cultural writer's who did not under
stand the process and therefore could
not appreciate the joke.
