rHE LEDGER. ThnHow S. Ca.rter, EDITOR AND MANAGER. WKDNKSDAY, NOV. Id, 1S9S. The decision of President McKinii'v and? his lepral adviser that the (ireonwood county case presents no reason for interference !>v the I'nited States authorities because the officials attacked were attacked as private citizens and not in the exercise of their functions as I'nited States officers is a wholly correct one. And, although President Cleve land sot an evil precedent to the country, we may be sure that President Mckinley will not send troops to any State except on the request of the executive. The president, we believe, has a genuinely kind feeling toward the Southern people and is very much disinclined to revive the Grant policy of force. There will be a splutter of indignant comment and then the matter will calm down. The North is tired of the negro que tion. ?The State. Goodbye to the First South Carolina. The regiment has been O made to suffer in ttie public estimation by the acts of some of its members, but it would take much more titan that t ? make the people of the State forget that it was the lirst command to volunteer, and that it would have borne the palmetto Hag gallantly if its fortune had been at the front.

' For Organization of All of the > Cotton Growers. |] ANDERSON'S FARMER'ACTION * I Ho w to Create a Deficiency ' or ! Surplus as the Occasion De- | tiiands?Prompt Action is Asked For. We, the undersigned committee, appointed by the Cotton Growers' convention assembled in j the court house at Anderson, on the 7th day of November, 1898, | by resolution adopted by the same, do proclaim the following ^ as a plan for organizing all of the j cotton growing couutieH of this'l State and all other States in the j \ cotton growing belt, and ask that j t prompt action be had: ] I Mr. Fditor: Allow me through i your paper to offer a plan, or a | C suggestion,<to the Cotton Growers' j * association, lloing a farmer my- I self, I am very much interested in j | a plan by which we <nin letter our a condition. We have only three 1 features to contend with to ac! coinplish our purpose: First. ' I We must control a certain amount1 of the cotton produced through- 4 out the cotton belt. Second. W'e, must control the labor necessary ^ to produce that amount. Third. W'e must be able to create a deficiency or surplus, as the situa tion demands. It does not seem to me that wej . can ever accomplish much, if any- j thing, in a farmers' organization j as a unit, simply from the fact I that some .are not so fortunately n situated >as others. Hence this ti plan. With these fortunate ones | depends the solution of this cotton 1 epiestion. Thoy can over doublo their prosperity and that of their neighbors without injury to them. selves. I The tirst reaiure: 10 uccoui j j plish this end, lot 50 independent J farmers, or who can be accommodated to independency, meet, organize, form a corporate n, or, ! to put it plain, form a trust, to be governed by laws regulating I trusts, etc. For the benefit of! those who may not comprehend' ^ the magnitude of their ropresonta- ; tive body of 50 men, we will take our own county, Anderson, for illustration, and seo what we have. (We will say where the! counties are small and are not so! ! wealthy it is not necessary to . . . . ! -V nave so many men in the organization, i Bv selecting vnni- nn-n l-> J * you ean find them to represent or control anywhere between 8,000 to 15,000 bales of cotton. But I , . for fear this estimate is too high, i ... we will cut it down to 0,000. Apply this to the State and have i 24(5,000 bales cotton, about one-1 j I V third of the cotton produced in i the State. This will hold good (^' V I hr oughout the cotton belt. The ' estimate for 1898 is 12,000,000 a* j bales. Grant this to be true. 1K I Then you will see that this organi-p( nation holds 4,000,000 bales. Do | not lose sight of this and we will w' I tn see later what they do with it. Second feature: How are we to j w< ; control this labor necessary to produce the amount of cotton ^ * above stated?

Suffered 20 Years. MR?. MARY LEWIS, wife of a prominent farmer, and well known bjr all old residents near Belmont, N. Y,. writes: "For twenty-seven years I had been a constant sufferer from nervous prusira1 tion, and paid large sums of money for doctors and advertIsed remedies without benettt. Three year3 ago my condition was alarming; the least noise would startle and unnerve me. I was unable to sleep, had a number of sinking spells and slowly grew worse. I began using I)r. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Nerve and Liver l'llls. At first the medicine seemed to have no effect, but after taking a few bottlos I began to notice a change; I rested better at night, my appe- , tito began to improve and I rapidly grew hotter, until now I am as nearly restored to health as one of ray age may expect.
