W. Dabbs, president of the South Carolina State Farmers' union ha9 issued a statement to the members in which he says with the proper cooperation that 15 cents per pound will be secured for two-thirds of the present cotton crop. "Never before that I can recall," says President Dabbs," have we had better prospects of good prices for cotton. Sixty days ago cotton sold at IS 1-2 cents per pound at interior points. All of a sudden 'without rhyme or reason,> the market broke and it continued to go down until 10 1-2 cents was reached in the local markets. Not having the desired effect o stampeding the farmers like it has in the past, we see it steadily going up. Each day the 'wiseacres' say it will break tomorrow. Each day they say Liverpool should come down six or seven points. Each day sees the report that Manchester continues to buy at higher prices than can be paid on this side.

But His Peaceful Reveries Are Ruthlessly Interrupted, First oy a Constable and Then by Two Tramps?He "Legs" It Home. By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1812, by Associated Literary i'ress.] IT was hot. Bowser mopped ana perspired and wriggled about as they sat on the front steps. Finally be broke out with: "1 don't know why in blazes we are squatted here instead of being at the seashore or mountains!" "Yea forget, my dear." replied Mrs. Bowser, "you decided early in May that yoa could not leave your business thin year." "But we night have run out to some farmhouse for a week." "Tea, bat yea showed me figures to prove that It was just about as hot out in the oouatry on a hot day as it was in the olty." "The sane old brick and mortar." he said as he looked up and down the street, "the same hot streets by day. the some noises at night. There Is no nature in a city. Everything is artificial, even to the trees and grass. If I "the crickets are singing their cheery songs." could get out somewhere and commune with nature for three or four hours it would seem more like living." "But you can surely take a day off." Mr. Bowser reflected for awhile and then suddenly exclaimed: "By the horn spoon, but why haven't I thought of it before?" "Taking a day off?" "No; taking a night off. During the day one is full of business and doesn't notice it so much, but when night comes one longs for the peace and quietness of the country. I have seen nights in summer when I'd have given $3 to hear the voice of a tree toad." "Do you mean that you'd like to go out and stay at some farmhouse overnight?" asked Mrs. Bowser. "Farmhouse be hanged! I mean that I'd like to get beyond the sight and 'sounds of the city and pass the night under a tree. That would be getting close to nature. One could think and ponder and reflect. The soft rustle of the leaves, the chirping of the crickets, the low call of the uight birds?all these things would touch a responsive chord in a man's soul. Say, I'm going to try it on this very night." "You are so easy to take cold in your head, you know." "Never had a cold in mv head in mv life, and 3*011 know it It will be useless for you to raise any objections." "I don't want to. If you want to go but and commune with nature I don't see why you shouldn't What time will you return?" "Not till sunrise, anyhow. Think you'll be afraid to stay alone?" "Not at all. You had better take your revolver along. All is peace and love out in the country, but a pistol is a good thing sometimes." "I want no weapons. Nature had nothing to do with the making of deadly weapons. I'll take along a half dozen cigars, and while you are sweltering here and being kept awake by whoops, screams and yells I'll be whispering with nature under the stars." Mr. Bowser Starts. An hour later Mr. Bowser started. He took a suburban street car and rode four miles beyond the brick and mortar, and after walking along a country highway for forty rods be found a tree and sat down to begin the business of communing. It was a moonlight night, and the feeling was one of peace on earth and good will to men. He had brought along pencil and paper, and as he sat with his back to the tree he wrote: "This is something like it. I am beyond the rush and roar and wickedness of the city, and the change is wonderful. Just now I wouldn't strike a man if he called me a liar. "The crickets are singing their cheery songs. They seem to realize what I am out here for, and they welcome me. I don't know whether crickets have souls or not. but I feel in consonance j with them. "Have just heard a tree toad. First I I've hoard in twenty years, and the : sounds carry me back to other days. I The song of the tree toad is an inno- ' cent one. I believe it would melt the heart of a convict and make n better \ man of him. I will write a letter to j tba 8?tobvor lannww ui tfca* tree tsads b* bitrsdacad Uto slat* , prisons." u r The a bar? Hae represents a break is Mr. Bowser's note*, caused by two i farmers who came along in a wagon. , When they saw him sitting under a tree with his hat on and a cigar in his 1 mouth the team was stopped, and one i of them called out: ( "You feller there, but what are you doing?' ' "What Is that to you?" demanded Mr I Bowser as the song of the tree toad , was forgotten in an instant. Constable Butts in. 'Til show you what it is to me! I'm 1 a constable, and it's my business to l keep an eye out for such fellers as you. , Looking for a chance to rob some henroost, I s'pose?" "You can s'pose any blamed thing I you want to." . "Mighty sassy, ain't you? Waal, I'll be back in about an hour, and if you are here 111 make it hot for you!" For the next fifteen minutes Mr Bowser was so mad that he paid no ( attention to tree toads, crickets or rus- 3 tling leaves, but he finally began to * cool off and wrote: "I have just beard the song of a whippoorwill. and it was not mixed up with the notes of a hand organ or the yells of a street peddler. Mrs. Bow sor will be sorry she didn't come. "The lowing of the kine reaches my esr. I don't know what they want to iow at night for. but the sounds are those of pastoral peace. I am an as* that I haven't spent every night thly summer out here. "In the bushes not far away a nightingale has just broken into song While his notes are beautiful, they are also sad. There is somehow a dreamy sadness about them that touches the heart and reminds one of"? M J I T f ? -) 0_l I J J % ) ) ?__! Tramps Intorrupt. This break in Mr. Bowser's notes was occasioned by two tramps who wore "hoofing" it into town, but stopped when thej* saw him under the tree. "Hello, cully! What's doin'?" asked one. "You go on!" shoutec! Mr. Bowser as he identified them for what they were. "Eh, cully, what's de matter wid you?" was queried as they both drew nearer. "Say. Jim, de old baldhead is on to something good and don't want to let us In on de ground floor." "By thunder, but didn't I tell you to go on!" shouted Mr. Bowser as he scrambled up. "You did. cnllv. but we are in no Mr.M Gibbs-In u way I've as much as John D. Dibbs?Nonsense! Why, Rockefeller has a dollar for every hair on your head.

' Alas for the tree toads and whip- . poorwills and nightingales! Mr. Bowser sailed in. The tramps expected to pick a fuss with him and win an easy victory, but never were men more mistaken. He had them licked and on the run within Ave minutes. They mussed him up some in return, but he sat down and lighted another cigar, and if he had been given half an hour to get over it the songs of the birds and insects might have appealed to his heart again. Only about ten minutes had gone by when the constable returned He had with him in the wagon six stout, yeomen, and as they all leaped to the ground the official said: "Now, then, you old sheep thief, will you move on or go to the county jail?" "How dare you apply such a term to I me! Do you know whom I am. sir?" "I don't and 1 don't care! Come on. fellers!" He "Beats It" For Home.
