Who will u Southern Cotton Association. The commissioners of agri culture of the southern states are firm in their belief that the South Arn Cotton association and its work is a success. At the request of the press bureau of the South ern Cotton association they have made a special investigation re garding the reduction of the cotton acreage throughout the south,and in their opinion there will be a great reduction of acreage this year. The commissioners also state that there will be greater diversi fication of crops this year than ever before in the history of the south, and they are looking for ward to a very prosperous country next fall. The following are some expres sions from the different commis sioners: C. J. Barrow, acting commis sioner of agriculture of Louisiana: "Organizations have been per fected in nearly all the parishes of this state for the purpose of re ducing acreage 25 per cent and this action on the part of the farmers has been supplemented by proclamations from our gov ernor urging the importance of th's reduction and we believe it will have its effect." E. J. Watson, commisssoner of agriculture of South Carolina: "That there will be a great re duction of acreage in this state I am fully convinced, but just at this time I could not undertake to give the exact figures." S. L. Patterson, commissioner of agriculture, North Carolina: ' "It is impossible just now to predict the exact amount of the reduction of the cotton acreage, but it is going to be reduced. And you may depend uponi it our farm ers are holding cotton as they never have before. -Very little is finding its way to the markets and the farmers are determined to carry out the spirit of the New Orleans convention notwithstand ing the reported heavy receipts in some sections." W. G. Ogilitie, commissioner of agriculture, Tennessee: "From the best information I have been able to obtain the cot ton acreage will be reduced at least 25 per cent. I have reports from nearly every cotton growing county in the state." H. T. Bradford, commissioner of agriculture, Arkansas: "My opinion is, and I have giyen the matter close pttention, that the cotton acreage will be reduced at least 25 per cent in our state. There is a general de termination among the farmers to reduce their acreage and better conditions generally." 0. B. Stevens, commissioner of agriculture of Georgia, says: "There is no doubt but that the people of Georgia are going to re duce their cotton acreage and better themselves generally. And besides there will never again be such a year as last year was for cotton or any other sort of crop." Commissioner R. R. Poole, in an interview several days ago, announced that the state of Ala bama was going to reduce its acreage 33 1-2 per cent. Governor J. K. Vardaman, of Mississippi, writes: "Mississippi is sure to reduce her acreage this year. I have ex amined things carefully and I find that the actual reduction will be between 20 per cent and 25 per cent." W. J. Clay, commissioner of the state of Texas, says: "From information I have been able to gather from correspon dence and conversation with prom inent planters, I am of the opinion that the acreage in-this state will be reduced about 25 per cent." The Colonel's Waterloo. Colonel John M. Fuller, of Honey Grove, Texas, nearly met his Waterloo, from Liver and Kidney trouble. In a recent let ter, he says: "I was nearly dead, of these complaints, and, although I tried my family doctor, he didI me no good, so 1 got a 50c. bottle of your great Electric Bitters, which cured me. I consider them the best medicine on earth. and thank God who gave you the knowledge to make them." Sold, and guaranteed to cure.

Mil se it for exter Wa The Bravest Battle. The bravest battle that ever was fought Shall I tell you where and when? On the walls of the world yoi will find it not; "Twas fought by the mothers of men. Nay, not with cannon or battle shot, With sword or nobler pen; Nay, not with eloquent thought or word From mouths of wonderful men. But deep in a walled-up woman's heart, Of woman that would not yield, But bravely, silently bore her part Lo! there is the battlefield! No marshaling troops, no bivouac song, No banner to gleam and wave; But, oh, these battles! they last so long From babyhood to the grave. -Joaquin Miller. A Chicago Alderman Owe. His Elec tion to Chamberlaiu's Cough Remedy. "I can heartily and conscientiously recommend Chamberlain's C o u g h Remedy for affections of the throat and lungs," says Hon. John Shenick, 220 So. Peoria]St., Chicago. "Two years ago during a political campaign, I caught cold after being overheated, which irritated my throat and I was finally compelled to stop, as I could not speak aloud. In my extremity a friend advised me to use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I took two doses that afternoon and could not believe my senses when I found the next morning the inflammation had largely subsided. I took several doses that day, kept right on talking through the campaign, and I thank this medicine that I won my seat in the Council." This remedy is for sale by Obear Drug Co. .Jesus as Our Guest. One evening in a poor children's home in England the boys sat down to supper. One of them said the grace: "Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest, and bless what thou hast provided." A little fellow said: "Do tell m2e why the Lord Jesus never comes. We ask him every day. I shall set him a seat, and then will he?" Some of the boys at the table were big and rough, but there was a stillness in the room as the extra chair was set. And in the stillness a timid knock was heard at the door. A poor, half-frozen lad entered, and begged to stay for the night. The guest's chair was given him. The boys robbed their own plates to fill his. Tears came into the stranger's eyes at their kindness to him. The little boy had been thinking. "Jesus could not come, so he sent this boy in his place. Is that it?" he said. And that was just it. Some day, perhaps, Jesus will say to us: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."-Selected. Champion Liniment for Rheumatism. Chas. Drake, a mail carrier at Cha pinville, Conn., says: "Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the champion of all lini ments. The past year I was troubled a great deal with rheumatism in my shoulder. After tryinmg everal cures the storekeeper here recommended this remedy and it compietely ,ired r..:." There is no use of anyone suffering from that painful ailmetnt when thi. liniment can be obtained for a smna sum. One applicaition gives promp .elief and its continued use for a short time will produce a pertument cure. For sale by Obear Drug Co. When a Man is Poor. "A man is poor when he has lc.st the confidence of his friends, when people who are nearest to him do not believe in him; when his character is honeycombed by deceit, punctured by dishonesty. He is poor when he makes money at the expense of his character, when principle does not stand clear cut, supreme in his idea. When this is clouded, he is in danger of the worst kind of poverty. To be in the poor ouse is not necessarily to be poor. If you have maintained your integrity, if your character stands four-square to the world, if you have never bent the knee of principle to avarice, you are not poor, though you may be com pelled to beg bread."-Ex.

Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said, "My trade of late is getting bad, I'll try another ten-inch ad." If such there be go mark him well; For him no bank account can swell; No angel watch the golden stair To welcome a millionaire.

Tread lighty, friends, let no sound Disturb his solitude profound, Here let him live in calm repose, Unsought except of men he owes.

I KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS CONVENTION (Continued from page 1.) speakers who were to respond to the various toasts. "The State of South Carolina" was responded to by Gov. D. C Heyward, who never fails to en tertain his hearers from beginning to end with his appropriate humor and commendable patriotic love for the State whose good fortune it is to have him at its helm. He was especially pleased on this occasion in finding the man who had raised "little Bill," the best dog that he or any one else had ever owned, this distinction be longing to Dr. Ott of Ridgeway. Hon. J. G. Mobley, wbo was to respond to the toast, "Fairfield County," was unavoidably de tained in Columbia and wired his regrets that he could not be pres ent on this auspicious occasion. Mayor T. H. Ketchin respond. I ed to the toast of "Winnsboro," over which he has just been elected to preside for the fourth time without opposition. Mayor Ketchin on this occasion fully proved how fortunate "the city honored with a glorious past" is in its chief executive. Winn Lodge 108 could have found no one who could have proved to the invited guests thai "our banner over you is Love" better than Mr. Jas. H. Thorn well, Jr., whose eloquent response was liberally applauded through. out. "The Press" was responded to by J. Frank Fooshe. In the absence of General M. L. Bonham, that toast without which there can be no banquet, "Woman," was responded to by Mr. W. H. Ruff, Jr., of Ridge. way, who in his brief response Icompletely captivated the Knights in the hall and the ladies without. To Major L. S. Mattison was assigned the task of telling ol that remarkable animal, "The Pythian Goat." This he did so -happily as to make a most fitting close and climax for this festival occasion. It was a most pleasing coinci dence that this session of the convention should be held with Winn Lodge, which hass the hon ored distinction of ha.ving made the greatest gain of any lodge within the State the past twelve months, its membership in that time having increased from 48 to 88. Such a record could not go without some expression of appre eiation on the part of the visiting Knights. This they gave by tne unanimous election of Supt. L. T. Baker as the next (deputy grand chancellor of the sixth district, a high honor among the Knights and one that will be most worth ily worn by the knightly Knight whom they have chosen to fill it.

FIFTY ENTS IN some conditions the gain. from the use of Scott's Emulsion is very rapid. For this reason we put up a fifty-cent size, which is enough for an ordinary cough or cold or useful as a trial for babies and children. In other conditions the gain is slower-health cannot be built up in a day. In such cases Scott's Emulsion must be taken as nourishment; a food rather than a medicine. It's a food for tired and weak digestions. Send for fr ee siample Scott & Bowne, 409-4i5 Pearl si. Chemists New York Soc. and si.oo. All druggists Administrator's Notice.
