Disband the Farmers' Union, and publish the news to the world, and in 30 days you will see cotton tumbling toward the six cents notch. Those farmers' organizations are all that have kept up the price. We intend to make the Senti nel-Journal one of the newsiest weeklies in our Southland, 'and to aid us in this undertaking we ask our friends to send us each week all the happenings in their respective localities. We do not suppose there is a county in our state where pro hibition is better enforced and observed than right hero in Pickens.

It matters not who~ 'ins, you will see money gradu&' y ease up and trade improve, and the price of our staple also advlice.

One of the sadest endings of the recent Spartanburg riot was the suicide this week of a youth named Burnett, belonging to one of the best families In this sec tion. Young Burnett wvas.ont of the leaders in that attack oin the jail, and was arrested witi Smany other rioters. He moun ted the brick wall surrounding the jail, and fearlessly sat there Swhile the deputies were firing or the crowd.
