THE SENTINEL editor and the correspondents have all had a fling at thei boycott and said their say; it is not manly to fight a man when he is down and we should, under those circum stainces, be fair, so lot us all drop the subject and devote our best energies to making this truly more of a comnty paper than it has ever been before and push every section of this grand old county to the front. 1)iscuss farming, education, religion, politics, social evils, or whatever vise will be for the, best interests of the county at large. The towns of the county and every section, every school district, and every cross roads, should have a correspond(lenjt.; we want some one from each place tosend us the news. Lets build up the paper and the coun ty on more broad and liberal lines thai ever before. On ward, Upward, Forvard! is the slogan. Everybody take up the cry. JUSTICE AND FAIR PLAY. This has been the motto of this paper at all times and the editor has lried to live up to it. He has always played fair and told the truth, and "let the chips fall where they may." In the communication last wepk. -fi'om Pea Ridge, "Red Mfose" says: "There is one can didate, I suppose, who signed the boycott," etc. Now, there is no name called, but a great many people are of the opinion that this -alludes to R. R. Roark, who is 4i candidate for the office of Sheriff. In justice to Mr. Roark, we must say from what we knowv of him, we do not be lieve that. he signed any such paper, besides we have it author itatively from our personal friends who are really in a po sition to. know, that he is not guilty of this charge. Good Liquo' and Pleasant Dreams. As there is no one visiting in our neighborhood the mention of whick, would interest your readers, I will wvrite on another subject. One of; my friends fixed a field of eight acres for oats. He hauled out' an immense quan tity of fhie manure and broad casted it over some of the finest land in Pickens county, and turned it about two inches deep with a 'steel-beam plow, and then driled~ in his oats with about two aftcks of fertilizer per acre, and said1 to me, "If those oats don't ,grow higher than your haMd I can cut them on that land, cari't I?" I asked him if he reckoned he would g6t a hand that could pull a cra dle through them. "Sh!" he said, "we may not have a good oat year!" Now, if all the farm.. ers were like him-fix things right and not expect too much they wouldsvre cary their point. B3ut unfortnatelythe areno like him. But my friend did more than that-he gave me a good drink f good liquor and some to carry home. It must have been good stuff, because I dreamed that night that I was elected gov 3rnor of South Carolina and was preparing my message. I was brimming things, leaving no lead limbs nor burdensome bwigs. I was just rennovating bhe statue book to perfection, when my mail was laid on the table before me, and tli first bhing I saw was In a Georgia paper that stated South Carolina ad just succeeded in electing the right man governor, and %woke. Some will want to know what I did then. Whyl [ just got up and took another 'Irink, lay down and tried to Ireani again. I said some time back that cotton wouldn't get any higher. Well, it hasn't, but I've changed my mind. I believe now we'll have much higher prices. Thou aiids of bales will be held for 15c. I am not a Union man, but I'm in favor of their move nient, as it was forced on them. The labor unions put up labor, the manufacturers put up goods, and the old peasants were com pelled to organize, and they have not fixed the price too high. Thousands of farmers will hold to their cotton. Non Union as well as Union are go ilg to hold, and it may cause a. standstill- it. may even termi nate worse, but the old peasants are not to blame. The Union should have fixed a definlit-e time to take 15c. I am sure if I could buy a horse at a set price I would wait until I needed it. The advice I give the farmers is to fix their land like my friend fixed for his oats, and then not expect too much, and you will come out 0. K. in the end, regardless of brains and money. M. W. HEsTER. lssaqueena Mills. The fifth annual meeting of the stockholders of Issaqueena Mills was held at Central on the 8th inst. Dr. T. W. Folger pre sided, with L. .G. Gaines, sec retary.
