YorkvilIe, S. c., Sept. 25.-Mr. J. E.
Latham of Bullock's Creek Township,
York County, has three and half acre
field of cotton that is exciting considerable
interest among the people of his neighbour
hood. Last year it was planted in cotton
and yielded five heavy bales, and Mr..
Latham is Of the opinion that there were
enough hollis that did not open to have
made bale and half more. Already
this fall three heavy bales have been picked
from the field and ginned (but not sold)
and Mr.. Latham is entirely satisfied that
he will get five more bales, and probably
six. Nine hundred pounds of commercial
fertilizer was used to the acre, an excep-
tionally large amount for this section. Mr.
Latham is not one crop farmer, but
raises practically everything that can be
grown successfully in this section on his
farm, and is in position to hold all the cot
ton he raises indefinitely without asking
permission from anybody or embarrassing
anybody. a brother of his living in the
same neighborhood this year produced
more than 100 bushels of oats on field OF
six or eight acres and will harvest a corn
crop of not less thru sixty bushels to the
acre from the same field this fall.

next year and see.

airship above Paris.
Joseph S. Baldwin in the Baltimore Sun :
All history teaches US Imperialism (anoth-
er word for mlitarism) must ever end in
rottenness, and that is why educated peo-
pie all over the world oppose it! Popular
progress has been slow but sure. Who
would ever have dreamed in the DAYS OF
Napoleon that France would ever become
a Republic? neutrality-suspicious. obe-
dience to any human being, emperor, king,
president or even twentieth century po-
litical boss-is, according to the flats of
eternal justice, antagonistic to the dignity
OF man and triumph of reason!''
