' If supply and demand is to be considered, then a high or protective t :riff on raw cotton of forcigu growth is the gdIv potent remedy to apply. This is the only true solution of the problem with which the farmers have to deal, and is the only one which gives any assurance of relief. Most of the cotton raised in the South is consumed by Southern mills, but lit le finds its way to the Noith, and j still less is exported to other coun I tries, ami by these conditions the i clemaud has steadily decreased ami j ilie supply increased, leaving a sur| plus sufficient to 11 aterially aft'ect the ; price of the cntiie crop?Lexington i Dispatch.*' We are sorry to see our brother of ! the Dispatch go oft* in this style. We | know he has imbibed soire of the i republican virus of high protection, ! but if tbere is anything more than \ | another that has robbed the Southern farmers it is this same republican i protection tariff. But how in the j world a high protective tariff on raw i ; cotton imported into this country ' ! would help the condition of the j j Southern cotton grower is past find| iug out, when as well as we now ! remember, there are only about 100,- ; i . 000 bales of Egyptian cotton import* d into this country. This is a I mere drop in the bucket, not much more than is grown by some counties in this State, and if we. had a statute absolutely prohibiting its importation it would not appreciably ; affect the market. A high tariff man must be under great stress of weather when such a llisy argument as this advanced in its support. But the most remarkable statement in the above paragraph is that which says, '"most of the cotton raised in ; the South is consumed by Southern j mills, but little finds its way to the ! mills in the Nottb, and still less is J I expo)ted to other countries." Surely j the editor must have been asleep when he penned that. Does he not I know that the great cotton manu j ivvnrld is I iaciurujir luuiiaii* v/i iwv, * I not in the South but in New England and Great Britain ? Does he not j know that Northern mills have about ' five times as many spindles and | looms as the Southern mills? Does he not know that these mills spin ; nearly twice as much Southern cot- j I ton as the Southern mills do? And j finally, does he not ki ow that the YEIt VISITED iVHY NOT? j y the styles and continually replenish est and most desirable, and if you wish main in ignorance of the big values we in, 1035 Main Street.

UTHERLAND, HA, S. V. "W. X3 i\ Solids a Share o great bulk of our entire cotton crop is taken by European spinners? If be does not then be has not read tbe statistics of cotton expoitation and consumption. Mr. Alfred Ik Sbfpperson, who is an autboriety on such subjects, shows conclusively in a recent article tbat about 7(1 per cent of our entire crop is taken by foreign spinners, and it is a fact well known in tbe cotton market tbat Liverpool fixes tbe price of our cotton because more of it is bought there than any where else. In bis report for last year, Mr. Sbfpperson shows tbat tbe crop of cotton was 7,.773,('00 bales. Of this, Xoithern mills consumed 1,007,000 bales, aud foreign mills consumed 4.727,000 bales, while Southern mills con sumed 000,000 bales, which is less than one seventh of the entire crop. This shows that about 65 per cent, of our cotton went abroad. In the News and Courier of Nov. '25tb, it is reported that all the cotton that arrived at Liverpool the day before was American cotton, and in the fame paper the weekly cotton statistics from Liverpool of same date shows sales of 61,060 bales, 56,000 of which were Ameiicanbales. The imports were 145,000. biles, 127,000 of which were American bales. The total atloat was 359,000 bales, of which 357,000 were American bales. This is just one week's report, and other weeks are very much like it. And yet according to the Dispatch very little American cotton is exported. "Where in the world has the editor been JL'laying llip Van Winkle? The rotten, robber high tariff will have to be supported by better arguments than that. You will have to try again, brother. That won't do. Will Be'Sold. The Greenwood, Anderson k Western Goes Next Thursday. The Greenwood, Anderson and Western railroad will be sold at Seivern on next Thursday, says the Barnwell People. This paper also says: "We have heard, by grape vine, that some speculators expect to buy the property for a song and tear up and sell the rails already laid. As the railroad commission inspected and received the section of ten miles next to Seivern, making that a part of the railroad system of the State, the law would hardly allow the rails to be removed. "The people of Saluda county are anxious for the iron horse to wake the echoes in their hills.

I Many Parents and Physicians Interested. i The Democrat-Message, Mt. Sterling*. 111. Residents of Damon, the village j fourteen miles northwest of Mt. Sterli ing. 111., have recently told a remarkable story of the almost miraculous J recovery of little Josic "Williams, the j four year-old son of John F. Williams, , who resides a short distance 1101th| west of Damon. j The Democrat-Message dispatched ; a representative to the scene to obtain j the actual facts in connection with . j the case, and stakes its reputation as j a newspaper upon the truth of the j incidents herein cited, j Mrs. Williams is a pleasant voiced ! matron. She has the forceful peri sonalitv, the positive manner that is nurtured and developed by the cares and responsibilities of a farmer's wife. She would make a good witness for any cause founded upon the principles of truth and equity, and she told the story of little Josie's sickness and recovery in a convincing way. "He was never right from the time of his birth," she said. "He was weak and puny, and did not grow like other children. A year ago last February, when he was two years old, he had an attack of long fever. We had the services of Dr. Soues for two or three weeks. After Josie had recovered from the fever, he did not seem to get any strength. He had no appetite and could not keep anything on his stomach. He would fall, trying to walk across the room and after while he could not bear his weight. His legs seemed to wither, away until there were nolh ing but skiu aud bones, and lie kept up a continual coughing. "We had a boarder named Asa Robinson who had rheumatism so severe that he was bent nearly double. He bad used Dr. Williams' Rink Pills for Pale People, and "had become so well and strong that be was able to chop woo 1 every day and never feel a touch of his rheumatism. He said that he believed the pills would help little Josie. At that time I also read an article in the Quincy Whig regarding some people who had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I said to my husband that we should j get some for Josie as they cost only J 50 cents a box or six boxes for S2 50, j and could be bought at any druggist, j He decided to try them, and went to i Zvlt. Sterling to Dr. Irving and bought i three boxes. "We began the last of j March giving him one-third of a pill | three times a day. In three days we ! noticed an improvement, and we i increased the dose giving him half a i pill at a time. He kept improving j and finally we gave him one pill at a j dose. Near the first of June we i gave him the last of the three boxes i which we had bought in March, and ! now little -Tosie is as fat and hearty i as any boy in the neighborhood. He | has a good appetite and never has ! any trouble with his stomach. I i never had any faith in proprietary medicines before, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People saved our Tosie from the grave, and I do not 1 j believe anything else would." : (Signed; "Mrs. Jul) 11 F.

Johuston, S C. i | Johnston Monitor. Many of our most prominent peo! ]>le witeessed last (Tuesday) night at the well known and justly popular Strotlier Hotel a very beautiful I J | and impressive marriage ceremony. | We allude specifically to the marriage j of Mr. Clifton Mitchell and Miss | Bessie Strother, which was soleinu| ized at 8 o'clock by lie v. B. P Reid, of Pendleton. Not in many years ! have we witnessed a more perfect or ! more beautiful ceremony. The resiI dence of Mr. D. R. Strother was | crowded with a happy and expectant \ throng, and not on any count were any of the guests disappointed. The biide and groom being two of the most popular and beloved young * { people in this part of the State it is not presumption to state that the wedding was the event of the season. Batesburg and other towns contributed largely to the attendance. The supper was grand in every particular. We write in haste but we cannot forget that this repast was one of the most plentiful, most 1 perfect, that has ever received or j responded to our aged but spirited j appetite. Editor Jas. T. Bacon played the wedding march. Mr. Mitchell, the groom is a prominent and prosperous merchant of Batesburg, while Miss Belle Strother, the fair and lovely bride, is one among our most esteemed and popular young ladies. As bride she was exquisitely costumed iu white ^ brocaded satin with lace, ribbon and I | pearl trimmiugs and veil. Following I were the attendants: i Prof. Daniels of Batesburg with i Miss Louella Sirother, a sister of the I bride. Mr. Sheltou Perry of Batesburg i with Miss Sue Sloan of Johnston. Mr. Geo.
