The farmer who rushes his cotton oh the maket at present prices will regret it is the judgment of the best oocton men in the country. The greatest crop ever raised in this country was that \of 1904, when about thirteen and a half million commercial bales were put on the market. It took thirty-two million acres to produce that crop, and the seasons were unusually favorable. That crop cannot be duplicated this year with an f acreage of less than twenty-nine millions, as is reported by the Bureau of Statistics. Ada to this reduction in acreage the increase in consumption and the increased capacity of the millp of the world, and the farmer can readily see that he is.master of g the situation. This crop cannot, with 'S. unfavorable seasons in the eastern belt all the year, and terrific storms in the western belt this last week, tf&r- approach the bumper crop of 1904, ? and the probability is that 11,500,000 will mark the size of it. The world last year consumed over 12,000,000 bales and will need more than that number for this years trade. It cannot be raised on the acreage %' planted, and the farmer by marketing his cotton only as the absolute necessity requires, can put a reasonable pl price upon the product of his toil. ??$!? Sell your cotton cautiously, slowly, Hr sensible. The price will go up, if you have the gooci sense and sticking qualities to make it go up. The gamblers' scheme is to scare you into selling your cotton at present prices, but our faith in the judgment of the farmer convinces us that they will sell onlv when they have it to do. : " Enforce the Vagrant Lav. Any day during the week a dozen or more able-bodied negro men may be seen loafing around on the streets of Lexington, hanging against the fences, setting on the steps, gathered together on the street corners, having absolutely nothing, wanting nothing IV to do, refusing to do anything, except to pick up here and there an errand K| fit only for the time of children. This sight is seen not one day but every day. The town is literally alive with robust, husky negro loafers. Yet, the farmer is heard to say "give us labor, our crops are ruining because of the lack of labor, because we can't get the hands to gather it." It is the ; 1 general complaint that labor was never so scarce. You can't buy, beg or induce it in any manner to work. Still our streets are daily crowded with these loafers. There is a vagrancy law'and it is about time that the proper officers - - were enforcing it. If these lazy, trifling, (loafing negroes will not work for hire, then the chaingang is a mighty good place to make them work without pay. It needs only to convince the negro that he has to work either for pay or f . xorjthe comity without pay to put a stop to loafing and hanging around street corners, here and in every town and city in the State. A strict, rigid enforcement of this law will do much toward the solution of the labor problem; and, besides, will go far toward preventing crimes, especially the horrible of all crimes. Enforce the law. Xbopped Dead. Mr. Mike Monts, brother of Mrs. J. W. Long, and a citizen of this county until the cut-off in the Little Mountain annex, not long since, dropped or was found dead in the lot of Dr. J. M. Sease, Little Mountain, last Sunday in the 72nd year of-his age. He had just been talking of the sudden demise of Mr. J. Wesley Long, his brother-in-law, not knowing that he too had so quickly to be carried away on the same mission. But so it was, and is evidence to us that in life we are in the midst of death. Mr. Monts was a Christian, good p>:v> neighbor and friend and stanncn citizen. He leaves his family, relatives and a host of friends to mourn their loss. bWOSIBS p The season's first cold may be slight?may yield to early treatment, but the next cold will hang* on longer; it will be more troublesome,- too.

SCOTT & BOWfllE, Chemists 409-415 Pearl Street, New York 50c. and $1.00 - - - All druggists Successful Operation. The case of a 13-year-old negro lad, named Taylor, operated on a few days ago at the Columbia hospital for'a brain injury appears on the face of it to be a striking exception to the well established rule about a negro's head being so hard. The;outcome illustrates how very vulnerable a negro may be in the head, and incidentally how much modern surgery _m ay do in dif ficult circumstances. Taylor lives on Dr. James Harman's place over in Lexington county. While at play a companion stuck the point of a steel umbrella rod in his head just above the right ear. When Dr. C. W. Barron was called in the boy had a high fever and was having convulsions every hour. This was three days after the accident. He was immediately operated upon by Drs. LeGrand, Guerry and Barron, the skull being opened up to relieve the poisoned condition conditioned by draining. That such a wound should yield to surgery is not remarkable, had the wound been reached when it was fresh, but when a poisoned condition arises from neglect and convulsions occur the Eatientis life is usually a question of ut a few hours. Taylor is now at home as well as ever. It's funny that a girl always promises to marry a man when she is doing the whole thing anyway. LABELS OF MERI / OUE CUSTOMERS RECO NIZE THESE LABELS.
