WINNSBORO, S. C.
Wednesday, May 31, 1905.
The present condition of the
sorghum crop should. be a stim
ulus to planting still more of this,
the greatest of all forage crops.
This is a fine time for plauting
it, if you have not already planted,
or to increase your present acre
age.
Within the next two week1
thousands of acres in Fairfield
county should be put in peas. It
will pay to plant them in drills
and to cultivate them thoroughly.
With proper attention they will
make as many bushels per acre
as corn. If not planted in drills,
they should be sown broadcast
for hay. Planted either way,
they contribute largely to the
enrichening of the soil. Be sure
to plant peas.
The government's report, giving
an estimate of the cotton acreage,
which is to be published Friday,
June 2, is being looked for with
intense interest. All the esti
mates that have been sent out show
that there has been a decided
decrease in the acreage. Latham
Alexander & Co. estimate a de
crease of 13.2 per cent, while
Theo H. Price & Co. estimate
the decrease in acreage at 17.3
per cent. The latter firm esti
mates also that the crop on the
19th of May was 70.08 per cent of a
normal crop, that only 79 per cent
of the crop had been planted at
that time, and that the crop is 17
days later than the normal.
"It's doing.something." These
were the words of the president
of Mt. Zion Society, when he
learned that the fuli amount asked
for the boarding school had been
subscribed. It is indeed doing
something when the town volun
tarily subscribes $1,000 as a
bonus for laranching an enterprise,
that promises so much to the
community. The unanimity with
which all have pulled together in
the raising of the necessary funds
for this school is a distinct credit
to the community. This getting
together not only insures the suc
cess of the enterprise in question,
but it also speaks great things
for the progress of the town in
the future. All pulling together
is going forward.
Loss From Exposure of Cotton.
We have frequently called the
attention of the farmers to the
necessity of taking the proper
care of their cotton, as it would
be greatly damaged if continu
ously exposed to the weather.
The following editorial from the
Wilmington Star, May 25th, con
tains some very valuable sugges
tions relative thereto:
The Star has refrained from the
occasional course of its contem
poraries of giving gratuitous ad
vice to its friends behind the hoe
who are the bone and sinew of
the country, and who are, in these
enlightened days of progressive
farming, generally better judges
of practical questions than many
who take a superficial or senti
mental view of the situation.
The Star is, however, in a posi
tion to know that many of its
friends are suffering serious loss
by the unwise exposure on the
plantations of thousand of bales
of cotton to the continuous
Spring rains this season, which
has been estimated, in many in
stances, as high as 30 per cent of
the market value. It has been
claimed by some of those who
have no storing facilities that the
bales will not suffer much injury
in the open if they are kept on
their edge upon poles which liold
them a few inches clear off the
ground; and, if the bales are
turned upside down after every
rain in order that the moisture
absorbed may be quickly evapo
rated. 1t is also claimed that
the cotton so treated will gain in
weight to the farmers' advautage
and that the risk ef loss by fire
is reduced to a minimum without
the expense of insurance.
It must be manifest by experi
ence, however, that these specious~
claims are not sustained by re
sults. Exposure to the sun and
Winter rain warps and defaces
the bagging, rusts the hoops, and
makes an unsightly package,
while the later warmer rains of]
the Spring heats the cotton, fer
mentation follows and in many
instances thirty to sihy pounds
of rotting and worthless cotton
must be removed and the bak
repacked in a crude and unusatis
factory way before it is fit for
shipment. We hiave seen in
Wilmington recently thiousands
of damaged b)ales waitiug for the
slow and expensive process of
picking before they can be ship
ped as merchantable. Many of
these bales must prove a loss of
at least a cent a pound to the
farmer.
Moreover, the practice of expos
ing cotton at the' plantations
seems to be largely confined to
our own section-that is to say,
the Carolines. Farther South a
better method prevails and the
warehouse sytem is used by,
many farmers who have no storage
facilities. It should not be
overlooked that mill buyers and
exporters prefer the lots that
have been protected even by a
temporary and inexpensive shelter
which is within the means of
every producer. Thore is, then,
no question as to actual weights
and grades, nor any delay in
settlements, nor any rejection of
misshapen bales.
We are informed that some of
the principal buyers are now re
fusing to bid on exposed and
damaged cotton because of recent
heavy reclamations from mills at
home and abroad. We also learn
from representatives of Marine
Underwriters that insurance
against country damage will be
difficult to obtain next season,
even at advanced preminms.
It behooves the cotton planter
with these facts before him to
protect his cotton crop from dam
age by simple - and reasonable
precautions after it has passed
the inevitable vicissitudes of
frost, drought, excessive moisture,
rust, insects and other natural
and unnatural foes between the
planting and the picking of this
royal gift of God.
DR. MILLS DIES SUDDENLY
Was for ilany Years Pastor of Leba
non and Salem Churches.
(Camden Cor. to the State, May 25.)
Dr. W. W. Mills, for 22 years
the beloved pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Camden,
died here this morning very sud
denly. Although he had not
engaged in pastoral work for
about a year on account of bad
health, he had performed the
duties of a faithful man of God
to the last, and had just left the
bedside of a member of his old
flock when the summons came.
He was a Christian gentleman
of the old school and was admired
and respected for his manliness
and pluck and much beloved for
his absolute devotion to his call
ing. Not alone as a soldier of
Christ has his duty been well
done. Dr. Mllis was among the
first to respond to the call of his
country when it was invaded by
the enemy, and his record during
the four years' struggle is a
precious heritage to his sons.
He volunteered in Sumter at the
beginning of the war and left for
the front with Capt. Harrington's
company, Col. Blanding's regi
ment. After the first year he
enlisted with the Seventh regi
ment of cavalry under Col. Has
kell. When Richmond was eva
cuated his regiment was guarding
the rear of the army and Dr.
Mills, a sergeant, always in the
front, was shot from his horse.
This wound through the lungs
gave him trouble in after life.
He was born in Sumter county
67 years ago last December and
lived there until the war broke
out. He graduated from the
South Carolina college and the
Presbyterian Theological semi
nary, and his first charge was in
Fairfield county, where he had
the old Lebanon and Salem
churches. He labored faithfully
here for 22 years, but had to give
up his charge last May on ac
count of failing healith.
Tbe funeral services will take
pac from the Presbyterian churob
to-morrow afternoon at 5.30
>'clock. Interment at the cemne

Letter to Plr. McNeeley.
Winneboro, S. C.
Dear Sir: The way to buy
paint is to go by the name.
There is a name never seen on
sham paint or weak paint oz
short'.measure paint: Devoe.
There are a hundred differeni
names in paint. Some are sham;
some weak; some short-measure;
and some all three.
If there is another such paint
as Devoe lead-and-zinc, we don't
know it. There are a few fairly
good paint; a fe w; only one Devoe.
A gallon Devoe is worth a gallon
and-a-half of those few.
Mr. Aaron Higgins, of Plain
field, N. J, always used 15 gallons
of mixed paint for his house.
Last spring he bought 15 gallons
of Devoe and had 4 gallons left.
Yours truly

Professor Beaty Resigns.
The State of May 26 contained
the following notice in regard to
Prof. J. H. Means Beaty, one of
Winnsboro's sons who is reflect
ing great credit upon his native
town in promoting the industrial
developmelnt of this State.
Prof. J. H. M. Beaty, director
of the textile department of Clem
son Coll3ge, has resigned to
accept a position as assistant to
Mr. Lewis W. Parker. president
ol several cotton mills in Colum
bia, Greenville, and Greers.
Prof. Beaty has been director
of the textile school at Clemson
since it was started about seven
years ago. He had a hard task
before him when he began his
work here. This was the first
textile school founded in the
South, and there was a great
deal of prejudice against such an
enterprise. Prof. Beaty worked
hard and succeeded in establish
ing the school on a .firm basis.
Besides being a college man he
'had had a thorough training in
mechanics and had had seveial
years experience as a practical
mill man as the superintendent
of mills in Chester and elsewhere.
It was this fine practical train
ing that helped him in the hard
task he hadtbefore him, it was a
hard fight that he made and he is
to be congratulated .on the work
he has done.
It is with regret that he gives
up his work here, but the in
ducement offered for his services
was such that he could not refuse
to accept it. His removal will
be a loss to the college, and espe
cially to the textile department.
His many friends here wish him
success in his new field of work.

A Wenderful Saving.
The largest Msthodist Church
in Georgia used 32 gallous of
L. & M. mixed with 24 gallons of
oil, thus making paint cost 81.20
per gallon. They calculated to
use 100 gallons of other paint.
Saved about $80.00, and also got
a big donation of L. & M. Deal
ers gladly sell L. & M., because
their customers call for it, and
say they used it 12, 14 and even
30 years ago.
Don't pay $1.50 a gallon for
.linseed oil, which you do in
ready-to-use paint.
Buy oil freeh from the barrel
at 60 cents per gallon, and mix it
with L. & M. Paint.
It makes-pai'ntr cost about $1.20 ~
per gallon.
