Honsel : : : : : : : For the nine months of 1902 the soles have mounted to a height never before attained. This may interest some of you who have been tr adir g with us year after year, for it's human nature to have pride in the Store whore you trade. Now, there must be some good reason for this increase in our business. People don't come here to trade because they like us. If they could buy the same Goods at the same prices on credit they wouldn't come here and pay us cash in advance. No, the only reason they pay us the Gash is because we save them money. They have found out that it pays them to trade here, and it'll pay you, too. We are selling GOOD CLOTHING at a smaller margin of profit than any Credit Clothiers can afford. No doubt about it. We have told you t?as before, and we mean every word of it-every word. If we weren't doing this very thing, in stead of a large and prosperous Clothing Store you would find here simply an empty space. Every Credit Clothier has a certain amount of losses by bad debts. Then there's a high-priced book-keeper to pay. Here we have no losses. No book-keeper to pay. Every sale is Cash. We don't have to add rn a certain per cent to our Goods to cover losses by bad debts and to pay book keepers. If we can't save you money we don't want your trade. Han Schaffner 6?

What Has Been Done in Development of Dairying and Stocking Raising. Mr. Li. A. Ransom, who ls well known In the South on account of his conspicuous work In agricultural mat ters and his connection with the South ] Carolina department of agriculture, i and now with the Southern Cotton Oil Company, as District Manager, f At lanta, Qa., in writing about the influ ence of cotton seed products on the de velopment of dairying in the South, ' says: "About 1850, a few wealthy and en terprising Southern planters imported some Devon cattle from England. These were turned loose in | cane- < brakes with the native scrubs and al lowed to roam over large areas of wooded country, picking up a precari ous living on the scant pasturage af forded by the woods freshly burned over by the forest Ares in the spring. Although widely scattered and a few in number, the prepotency of this breed Was so great that in many sections the evidence of this Infusion of good blood is still visible In the stock. "No well-to-do planter at that time considered that he had milch cows enough to supply the wants of his fam ily unies he owned at least twenty-five or thirty head. These droves of half wild and half-famished animals were located towards nightfall by the ring ing of a bell hung around the neck of the leader. They were driven to the cow-pen, sometimes miles from where they were found in the wjods, a spas modic effort was made to extract milk from them, penned up over night, and a second attempt made upon them the next morning. The 'average yield' was about one quart per cow. "The Idea of increasing this produc tion by judicious feeding was not thought of. This was the rule, but of course there were notable exceptions. People who did not own unlimited acres of land, and who appreciated milk and butter, took better care of their cows, fed them regularly, and allowed them to pasture during the day on their neighbors' land. This pasturing was more to give them proper exer cise, and keep them healthy than to afford them any means of subsistence. To such an extent had the cattle in terests of South Carolina in 1880 depre ciated that the repairs to the farm fence cost more than the value of the cattle in the State, and the probability is that the same wan equally true of nearly all the Southern States." Then came the "No Fence Law," which compelled the owners to fence the cattle instead of the crops. This forced the farmers to own good milch cows, or none at all, as it became too I expensive to' feed poor stock. About this time, or perhaps a little earlier, appeared the "Jersey" on the scene, a breed of cattle as suited to' the needs ! of those who were "too poor to own- a j cow, and too proud to milk a goat." I But this beautiful little animal soon > demonstrated that she was not a ! "quitter," and, furthermore, that she ! "Ailed a long felt want," and, with ; proper attention, gave rich returns on . her cost and keep, and, like the Irish i man's pig that he raised in the cabin j with his children, she "paid the rent" ! as well aa the freight. Aa compared j -with? the Devon, she was smaller in statue and gave less milk, but the pro portion of cream to water in what she did give, far exceeded that of the De von, the Durham,, and Holstein, and she promptly became the prime favor ite of smcil families and butter-mak ers. But she could not live without feed, and butter could not be produced profitably on corn mea!, wheatbran, or cowpea diet, nor could it be produced at all on what the Jersey coule? pick up In the pastures. , Nature, always lavish, but provident, hid away coal in the-earth for ages, only to be uncovered when the world needed lt most, pointed the way to the gold fields only when thia precious metal waa absolutely required for the world's commerce, and covered from sight the phosphate rock of the Caro linas until Improvident man had, de? stroyed the fertility of the fields, like wise she held back the material re quired to make dairying In the South possible and profitable, until ** di tlona ware favorable for Ita us*. I The advent of the Jersey cow el ated a demand for a cheap and rich food, which the oil milla supplied with hulla and meal. In a Hat of fifty of the leading feed materials of the Uni ted States, the'National Department of Agriculture ranks cotton seed meal I first, in feeding value and places the value of cotton seed hulls for the sume ' purpose above the best timothy hay. The use of these producta has fully sustained the department's report*; and dalry farming ls fast becoming an industry of importance, and this has been largely the result of the liberal policy of the Southern Cotton Oil Co. of the Carolinas and Georgia, which has headquarters at Columbia, S. C., Atlanta, Ga., Savannah, Qa, and Char ! lotte, N. C.. Goldsboro. N. C, and Au ! gusta. Qa. I Around the large cities in the South, i dairies are successfully operated, sup ; plying the people with wholesome I milk, and rich golde'n butter from cows ? fed on hulls and meaL The country ! mills have accomplished the same thing for the farms and small towns. I 'Around the factory towns the small mills make dairying possible, and pro fitable, as the demand from the opera tives is sufficient to consume all the milk and butter that can be produced, and the use of meal for fertilising the land, which is sold reasonably by the Southern Cotton Oil Company, has greatly enlarged the area devoted to truck farming of all kinda. Without oil mill producta dairying would be impossible In many sections of the South. The abundance, cheap ness and convenience of the products has already developed the business to an interesting extent and lt ls only In its infancy, and its growth witt* in crease rapidly each year with? ' the steady improvement in the grade pf milch cows. Oleomargarine contains about forty per cent, milk, and the compound is a wholesome product. The establishment of co-operative fac tories for its manufacture in the vi cinity i of oil mills where refined oil can be had would give a tremendous Impetus to dairying in the South.

Far mers are now pulling the crop. They say beet raising is three times as profitable as wheat growing, besides requiring no expensive machinery and apparatus to handle the orop. L Sew Feature to Secure Accurate Statistics of the Cotton Crop. Mr. James W. Bowden, of Anderson, las beeu appointed a local special igentof the Census Office to collect :otton-ginning statistics of this Coun ty, and we ?oin the Government iu irgin? tho ginners to give Mr. Howden their hearty support and co-operation, thus enabling him to make prompt and accurate returns. Wo would impress upon the giimers tho fact that this agent is a sworn officer of tho Govern tueut, and that their reports aro for warded ns given to him directly to the Census Onice, at Washington,"without passing through the hands of any middlemen. Hie information given is held ns strictly confidential, and the operntiona?of individual ginners are not divulged. Upon the joint co-oper ation of tho cotton growers, ginners, mid local agents must depend the sue cess of the Census Office In thisinquiiy. and its ability to render this great st :' vice to the Southern people and to ,11 interested in the cotton staple. The Census Otllce has demonstrated in three annual reports the fact that the ginners aro the only reliable source of information ns to the volume of tho annual cotton crop. This is very com plimentary to the ginners, who, no doubt, will feel a pride in sustaining the reputation earned. In recognition of this interest shown by the ginners, and of a general de mand for moro frequent reports through this source, Congress, iu tue act creat ing a permanent census office, provided for the collection and publication of these statistics at intervals during tho ginning season. For the crop of 1002 the office will ?BBUO three reports: the lirst two will cover tho quantity of cotton ginned up to and including October 18 and December 13, respect ively; and the ilnal report will cover tho total quantity ginned from the growth of 1?02. Realizing that the collection of tho data for these reports is made ut a sea eon when the ginners' time is greatly taxed, and appreciating tho necessity for prompt returns, the Census ellice has located, in each county containing ton or more ginneries, nu agent, who i will visit ecch ginnery in tho county I aud secure a report of the quantity of j cotton ginned up to certain dates. In I undertaking tho frequent mid hurried reports no v Bought, it is of vital im portance that the returns be made with absolute uniformity, and that all bo received at Waahiugtou at ono timo. This result could not be expected from individual requests made by mail of 80,000 ginners, at a time when they are engrossed in their ginning work. 'Fur thermore, the Census Oilice must be kept advised of all changes in the man agement and operation of these estab lishments, mid secure returns from ail new and revived plants. To accomplish Buch results, it becomes necessary for tho Qfhce to have local representatives who shall bo charged with tho duty of keeping in close touch with the ginning industry in each county, and of prompt ly reporting the quantity of cotton gin ned. The ?tal i s ti ca for the October report will be collected during the week be ginning with Monday, October 20, and ginners should keep such records as will enable them to furnish promptly the required information. These re turns will be tabulated, and the result published within one week from their receipt at Washington. Cotton statistics collected through the commercial system, however accur ately compiled, fall short of the demand of both oroducer and manufacturer first, in that as they cover the quantity of cotton marketed between Septem ber 1 of one year and August SI of the 'following, they are not statistics of a orup grown in any one year; and sec ond, m the liability to error involved in statistics so compiled. Nothing short of official reports, made sufficient ly early to form a basis of prices, will entirely satisfy the cotton grower or manufacturer. Ungratifying to know that the South has the assistance and co-operation of the Government in bringing about the result they desire an undertaking the success of which now depends upon the cotton growers j and ginners themselves. Gen. Torrance Encouraged. Washington, October 10.--Before ad - j jnurning today the encampment of the G. A. R. adopted a resolution, sub mitted by Past Comrade-in-Chief Bnr dette, endorsing the position taken by Commander-in-Chief Torrance in his recent address calling for assistance from members of the Grand Army for the Home for Confederate Soldiers at .Mountain Creek, Ala., and urging on the veterans generally the adoption of an attitude of brotherly kindness to ward their foes of the Civil War. Since his arrival in Washington Gen. Torrance has received many as surances of appreciation of the spirit of that address from his comrades of the Grand Army. There have also come to him a number of letters and tele grams from points in the South ex pressing appreciation. In some in stances these communications adv he him of the action of posts of Ex-Con federate Veterans endorsing the ad dress. An> ng other letters received is one from Mnior J. M. Falkner, of Mont gomery, Ala., who is interested in the Mountain Creek |Home, from which the following is an exttact: "Contributions as a result of your inspired and inspiring letter continue to reach me from nearly every part of the Union. I have received up to date, asa result of your letter, $541. But, better than all money that could be sent me, is the brotherly love, good will, expressions of kindness which prevade every letter that I have re ceived, and I have yetto hear of a any adverse criticism anywhere in Ala bama, either as to your action or as to mine in receiving the fonds contribu ted. I read your letter a ihort time ago to the old soldiers at ti e home at Moun tain Creek and every one of them said 'May God bless Gen. Torrance,' and such I believe to be the prayer of every true Ex-Confederate soldier in Alabama. "In my opinion, down to this date, nothing has ever been done that is so calculated to obliterate all the scars of war and to wipe out forever all bitter ness between those who wore the blue and the grey as yonr action in this matter and, while there may be a few who come in late and did not get enongh of war that are still treasuring np anmosities, yet there are few indeed who are not ready to say in the langu age of that illustrious, magnanimous victor, Gen. Grant, 'Let us have peace." COAL FOR SA LE-Phone to J. J. Dob bins' stsble or coal y ?rd. NOTICE. I will sell at public outcry to the ighest bidder at Calhoun Falls, 8.
