Messrs K F Rodgers, H B Lee, Joe Coward and eight or ten more gentlemen spent Friday in Florence in attendance upon a reference in the old 'oritrinal stock law case as to the pasture embracing portions of Williams- i burg and Florence counties.

I She is a daughter of Capt. R R r Hemphill, Clerk of the Senate.! Mjf and Mrs SMarcus came up from Kingstree Sunday and spent the day with Mr and Mrs ^ Xachman. Mr E R Kodgers spent Friday last in Florence. The berry season being now in the closing days most of the . solicitors have gone to other fields, Wilmington and Norfolk ; principally. And this is the picture we saw a few days ago: A bank presi dent, a senator, a tobacco ware-, house man, an embryo lawyer, a merchant, six or eight kids and a "coon," all fishing in one mud hole hardly big enough for a trout to turn around in- and 0#- they caught one perch measuring about three inches in length.

Id Nemoriam. Whereas, in His infinite wis"donv^nd goodness, Almighty Goa has seen tit to remove from this world of sin, sorro.v ar.d suffering our beloved teacher and friend, Miss Annie A Kooke, and whereas her life in our community has been spent so freely ar.d so nobly as an inspiration and a help to us. Be it resolved by the pupils of the Johnsorvilie Graded school: First. That in losing her, we lose not only a teacher of great power and influence, but a sympathetic friend and counselor; and that while we humbly submit to the will of Him who Knoweth best and accept His decrees without a murmur, we mourn her less and thus make public acknowledgement of what she has meant to us in our lives and characters. Second, That we cherish in our hearts her memory and indeavor to 'mitate her Christian example of unselfishness, kind noss and forbearance Third, That our sympathy oe extended to the member> of her immediate family, and that we do all in our power to lighten their burden. Fourth, That a copy ot these Ires^itions be published in the couijjtv papers and in the News A Courier and that .1 copy be sent to the family.

The closing exercises of Mineral Springs school, which took place Saturday, May 24, from 10:30 to 12 o'clock, were a decided success. The school has been under the efficient manage- ( ment of Miss Fannie Keels of Manning, who has given perfect satisfaction to both patrons and , pupils, and it is a source of much regret to see Miss Keels leave, but it is hoped that she , will return next fall. , The programme was as follows: Welcome Address?Vindal Poston. < Vacation?Za.ch Tanner.

The cotton men all tell the farmers to refrain from selling their cotton. All admit tiftecu cent cot'on and some expect to see the staple bring as high as twenty cents. There is no cotton in the country and a faminw faces the American mills. The English mills got the best of the American mills this season to pay them for hating tiicked tliem two or thiee times in the past, and they did their American cousins up to a brown finish. The European spinners sent a committee over here and that committee went over the country in company with the officers of the Southern Cotton association, making a tour of inspection of the cotton belt. The American spinners took the reports of the | government and the estimate of Mr j Hester of New Orleans and others | and they looked wise and let the | l European have 'lie cotton. Liver-1 I pool quotations stuck steadily above New York in spite of the hammer- HI ing of the American bears and the i cotton went in a steady stream to Europe. Now tile cotton is gone from the tields. gone from the ware houses, gone from everywhere and j tlie spinners of this country are cry- ^ ing for cotton and it is not to i>e Di had. A Tile planters of Louisiana have planted four times and thev sav tiiev K . * 9-20-tf have no crop yet. Frost and flood;' have played havoc with them. The ~ Mississippi men have planted three II J] times and no crop yet, and the coun- |||, [j t* umiIav tfitml ( i< run* ning short. In Texas the farmers are paving anv price for planting .T,0^! # All V> seed. Cotton seed is selling in open market for $05 a ton and it is mightv scarce. The farmers all over the ^ country have run out of seed and the crushers have not the seed to sell At them back. They bought all they could, sweeping the farmers' floors and are still thirty per cent behind """""" last year. In Texas the boll weevil Dr ccming earlier than ever is destroying the young plants. Cotton, if it is good staple, can be Bold today at the owner's own price. Even bad cot to will bring good ! ' ' prices; the spinneis want auything JOHN and they confess it. They let the cotton go in their efforts to beat the the price down below that fixed by piian^( the Association and they have lost. ' workn The Association is stronger today1 " than it has ever been and its future WHI was never so bright. There is every j reason today why the farmer, eveiyj farmer, shoulu stand by the Association and win his independence in [ this one year of grace. It will most j likely be done. The farmer controls; the situation and if he does not throw away his oportunitv he just cannot l/lII help winning. Illll A lot of cotton was sold by the very wise ones, who know better than the united wisdom of the whole Association for nine and a fraction, future delivery this fall, and every effort is going to be made to foice KiflJ these sellers to deliver that cotton. It is going to be a most interesting situation. This, considered in connection with the recent tight on bucket shops and gambling in cot- gpp ton is going to make a pretty state of ULU. affairs when the buyers of the eontracts begin to squeeze.?Floreme Time*. p * A COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON b 1 i??5 Charleston, S.
