P For some time the farmers' Union g of South Carolina has been looking r into the feasibility of establishing a r cotton school on their own account, not knowing that Clemson College " was already well equipped for this P purpose. Now, it is no news to the up-to o date cotton grower to tell him that c beyond doubt this state loses anonu ally enough cotton money by arbitra- el ry grading to build a warehouse at d most of the shipping points in the tl state. This thing of trusting the grad. o iog and classifying of cotton to the tI ordinary 2x4 "cotton slasher" of the tc country must go with the privilege of w priceing our cotton. We must get up some real good ex. pert cotton graders, or classifyors that do this work from the stand- p point of the requirements of the w mills, and cut out this imposition of m the common so called expert cotton '&I graders who are more on the order of ti expert liars than they are classifyers ci of cotton. I call for a commiittee from the union to go to Clemson and ti. look into this cotton school question ox and let the people know how it is. w The click, click, of the bucket shop m telegraph hammer may be dead, but the "cotton bureau" has been born in a number of places where thee ,.ucket shops used to thrive. Since the bucket sho ps have dIed 10 out and over one thousand cotton di warehouses hav~e come up like toad w stools ini almnost a night, cotton bears ame not making for the tall timber us some thought, but on the contramry tbhey have quit the town e fices and gone out into the couintry cotton patcbes trying a new game there, to buy cotton before it is made in o'rde*r to keep it out of the safety vaults, the cotton warehouses.

No matter how favorable the se ais may be from now on, it is in )ssible for the crop to supply ti iormous demand for cotton.

Prohibition and Morals. Although the practical question < -ohibition in Georgia is settled, ill be next year, by legislative enac eut, a discussion of it academi< ly will never cease as it has cor mued from remote ages to the prei it time. In the very beginning of the Chrie in era the Jews had a sect that nc ly condemned the drinking c noe, but the eating of meat. Thee< natics were not a pleasant set C en, apparently, and not conspict sly consistent. Of them the Bibi id: "John the Baptist came neithe ting meat nor drinking wine; ve u say be had a devil. The Son c an Comes bo0th eating meat an' .inking wine; vet von say he is / iIe-)bbber anld a glutton."

George D. Tillman, is who was much more of a conservative J. d student, philosopher and statesman than his aggressive brother, once a made a singular statement. He had >f carefnlly examined the history of e- mankind and once after pondering ir on the human drama, seriously ri - marked: "It is a strange thing and i- much perplexes nie that the' drink r- iug nations of the earth are moie >- potent in all things, even in religion, le than the prohibition ones. Take Is England and Germany, for example. le They are in the front rank in all ex- F -s ploritation, while the prohibition na. J. r tione, like Turkey. China and the ir Mohammedan world, are in the rear ot civilization, as we understarLd it The Chinese resort to opium. True, - it was forced up n them at one time, e but it has become a national vice. y The Turk is called "unspeakable,' t and apparently substitutes carnality o for liquor." Another gentleman, and like Mr. Tillman, a temperate man in both ke eating and drinking, said: "The 'O!d r South,' as it is called, not by any t means in favor of prohibition, but against it, had in its population a g better and a raulier race than the r 0 people of to-day. It raised leaders le and armies that will command the ie admiration and wonder of the world e to the end of time. .I do not say 1 that these glorious men were the product of liquor-drinking, but that t] a the use of liquor, in a majority of t cases moderately, did not sap their manhood, degenerate their brains or le emasculate their spiritual nature. In ti point of fact there was far more true t I religion among the old slaveholdeos than there is to-day, when infidelity, y Y agnosticism, higher culture and uni r v.-real education are tryin'to play havoc with orthodox truths."-[Au n gusta Chro'iole. TEN YEARS IN IVED. 'For ten yeara I was confined to my bed with disease of my kidneys," writes - R. A. Gray, J. P., of Oakville, Ind. It ir was so severe that I could not move part of the time.
