Stokes, in Cotton Plant I confess tardiness in fulfilling ray promise to you and myself to write something for the columns of the Cotton Plant. My tardiness has not been wholly without excuse, however. My time has been full, as you may well imagine with an energetic eontest for my seat to fight, several cotton growers' conventions to attend as delegate and an Alliance warehouse matter in my own county in addition to ruv regular Congressional duties. Then, tco, there has been uo lack of wholesome and seasonable matter iu your columns to suggest need of a contribution from me or any one besiuo your regular contributors. Not only has there been abundance of good matter suitable to the needs and tastes of the special constituency you cater for, but there has been matter suitable for people generally?for instruction, for suggestion, for enter tainmeut. Under these circumstances is it surprising that there was little difficulty in persuading myself into a postponement of what assumed almost the aspect of a dut}? Now, that I have started, you may have to invoke ibe sense of duty to stop. In most of us, particularly those who write only occasionally, the starting sense is clearer and more actively assertive than the stopping sense. Whatever may be lacking in j my other senses, however, I have j sense enough to take a friendly hint, I without offense, when I am talking too much, so you need not hesitate to give me the wink when it seems timely. I said that the paper had been filled with good, seasonable reading matter?not only is this true but its appearace has kept even pace with its thought. It is as neat and bright as a new nin; and, like the pin, it also has point. I wish particularly to congratulate you upon the enterprise displayed in i respect to the several cotton growers' conventions held recently. So far as my observation goes the Cjtton Plant is the only paper in this State that thought these meetings of sufficient interest or importance to pablish the proceedings in full. The Georgia and Tennessee and other State papers reported the proceedings in full and were full of the matters engaging the attention of the convention. In South Carolina, where the movement begaD, the reports were very meagre and Dot representative of the true spirit of the conventions. The reports which have been most widely published in this State gave most prominence to a letter from Mr. Roddy to the Atlanta meeting?iu fact published it in full, with only a paragraph of the actual f +tio nioolrnnr Thpi'P procetuiuyo wi KUO uj^vu..b. were some dozen or more letters or propositions, yet tbe Itoddy letter alone was accorded this distinction. Win? This, too, in spite of the fact that the Roddy idea was dintinctly and vigorously condemned. Had not our efficient and ever watchful chairman aud State President, J. C. Wilboro, given out an interview stating the true attitude of the convention he presided over, I suppose nothing more would have been published. I sent out copies of papers containing full reports to a number of daily and weekly papers of tbe State, aud had it not been for the Cotton Plant I should have had no full report to file away. It is but jast to suj that your report is due to your own energies as I did not send you a copy, but I was relieved and delighted when I saw your first page filled with a full report of the two meetings?both at Atlanta and Memphis. I don't underst md the apparent in : Tested \ AND 18 [ true. "W. Z5 r, Soliets a Share o difference of many of our Lome pa p?rs to these (fforts of farmers to help themselves in a peiiod of sore distress. Is it because they have no faith in the measures proposed or ^Jconnmvd thpsp measures. or lack j v.?IT. sympathy with the farmers' distress? j I am loth to believe that they lack sympathy, and yet as matters stand, it might be worth while for these papers to explain their real attitude toward this effort of the farmers to organize for defense. If they don't sympathize with the distress of their I subscribers why con't they say so? It they have valid objections to the propositions under consideration, why don't they state them by dis cussion and help to make better plans? The farmers should ask why this is thus. I will give you right here, Mr. Editor, a little private tip?and now all you cotton growers listen, for I cm going to let the editor pass it down to you. We did not publish all we did at Atlanta and at Memphis. It would have been manifestly unwise to do so. It would have given the gimblers something to chew on and plan for. Did you notice at the close of the report of the committee on resolutions, of which I was chairman, an innocent looking little provision ? * * - for a liureau 01 lnioruiuuuu: ?*eii, thereby hangs a tale which it is not expedient now to unfold. The un folding of that tale will come later. Those charged with that matter will act wisely, I doubt not. Let us farmers now proceed to organize thor oughly as suggested in the report and be in shape to receive the uni folding of that tale with benefit to ourselves and confusion to our parasite enemies. PlaDt abundant provision crops for man and beast, aud j after making sure on this point, I raise all the cotton we can, but be i sure on this point. The organization j is of first importance, however, j It was gratifying to me to have the endorsement of both conventions for my anti option bill. If all the people interested will demand the passage of this bill it will pass beyond a doubt. Nothing short of this bill, or something like it, will strike down ttie gawoiing m uutiun wu^u lies at the root of low pi ices. Other expedients will prove helpful, but they are only expedients, makeshifts, so long as the tap root of the trouble remains. The Alliances should spnd in their demands for some such legislation?it is one of their original demands. I repeat, if the people interested on better prices for cotton aud other agricultural products will make known their demands for legislation in shape for use before the commit'ee on agriculture, they will j get what they want. If they are inj different, we who are trying to get the needed relief will be handicapped at the start. But I did not start out to discuss this question, Mr. Editor, yet what more vital question is there for us to discuss? There is a cry of distress in the land over low prices of cotton. Why not discuss that which is uppermost in the mind. If I have devoted too much space to the cotton situation, my excuse is that I am deeply iu earnest. Our people are in distress. They are crying aloud for releif. They are reaching out in every direction for a helping hand. My mail is flooded with appeals for relief. I sincerely d ?sire to help. I have studied the problem like a problem in Algebra, and think I have the solution in the bill I have introduced. But I am willing to work upon any line, every line that promises any relief. And now, Air. Editor, lest I cross the '\lcad line*' if I say another word. j I bid you God speed and commend your efibits to the fanners of the j S-ute. * 'OOD'S SEE DS are specially grown and S ected to meet the needs and requirements of / Southern Growers. ; 'ood's Descriptive Catalogue is most valu- / le and helpful in giving cultural directions / id valuable information about all seeds ^ ecially adapted to the South. r EGETABLE and FLOWER SEEDS, i Grass and Clover Seeds, Seed S Potatoes, Seed Oats v and all / Garden and Farm Seeds. \ fate for Descriptive Catalogue.

The women of to day are not as I strong as their grandmothers. They are bearing a burden in j ' silence that grows heavier day by day; that is sapping their vitality, ! cloudiug their happiness, weighed j j them down with the woe of ill health, j ! Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, of 417 j Michigan Avenue, Detroit, is a typi- j cal woman of today. A wife with i such ambition as only a loving wife I can have. But the joys of her life were marred by the existence of disease. Suffering as thousands of her listers have suffered, she almost de- ! ! spaired of life and vet fehe was cured. I 1 She wants others to profit by her ; experience: to grow well; to enjoy j health; to be as happy as she is. "For five years I suffered with i ovarian trouble,'' is Mrs. Clark's own version of the story. "I was not ' free one single day from headache and intense twitchiDg pains in my neck and shoulders. "For months at a time I would be confined to my bed. "At times black spots would appear j before my eyes and I would become ! blind. My nerves were in such a ! state that a step on the floor unset- | tied me. "Eminent doctors, skillful nurses, | the best food and medicine all failed. Then I consented to an operation. That, too, failed and they said another wa3 necessary. After the second I was woise than ever and hn urns darker than before. ! "It was then I beard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. "I heard that they had cured cases like mine and I tried them. "They cured me! They brought j sunshine to my life and filled my cup ! with happiness. "The headache is gone; the twitching is gone; the nervousurss is^gone; the trembling has ceased, and I have gained twenty- i six pounds. "Health and strength is mine and j I am thankful to Dr. Williams' Pink j Pills for Pale People for the bless ing.M Dr. Williams* Pink Pills have proved a boon to womankind. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, they restore the requisite vitality to all parts of the body; creating functional regularity and perfect harmony throughout the nervous system. The pallor of the cheeks is changed to the delicate blush of health: the eyes brighteD; the muscles grow elastic, ambition is created and good health returns. Tfcs Silent Lie. Sad Story of a Ruined Life. The principal character in this story is now a man of honor and position. The integrity which he conducts his business is the admiration of his competitors. I "Such honesty as you display must j surely be the results of some great j experience," suggested a friend to | him one day. | The answer is given by the wiiter ! almost exactly in the merchant's I words. j "When I was in college I had a j very intimate friend. We belonged ! to the same societies, we ate at the i same table, we played the same I games and competed for the same | prizes. Luring the sophomore year, : a seiies of thefts caused an uncom! fortable state of feeling in the college. f ! As usual among students iu such J cases, suspicion followed first one j and thc-u another, as much by caprice as reason. Even mv friend did not I j escape. Eut such rumors, as seem i too foolish to notice, were easily i laughed away. i "Our competition for the scpho* j more Latin prize commenced aboutj that time."' "I'm going to beat you on this,"' | challenged my friend, good naturedly. i "You aren't big enough," I re: torted, in the same bolting spirit. "We both studied very hard, and j the class watched for the result with ! interest. At last the day of the cxj amination came. I was thoroughly j prepared and confident. So was my j friend. In a few days the result was j given out. He had won the prize. ' \"No wonder,' raid a classmate, y \ r, CTE2-, tago. Prompt and 1-1 i n?par? mm n ? whispering to me, *they saw him crib ' ' Nonsense.' "Yes, they did. Everybody, knows about it. Besides, they say he knows where Tompson's watch is.' "That vague, irresistible 'they,' which has helped circulate more slanders than perhaps any other word in the English tongue, for the first time shattered my confidence. I believed this explanation of his victory over me, and I became exceedingly bitter. From that day I gave my friend the cold shoulder. ' It was not long before another theft stirred the college to indigna lion. This time a pocketbook disap peared. That evening the president of the college summoned me to his house. He explained to me that as the intimate friend of the person suspected, I could help the iuvestiga tion. At any ether time I should have resented the charge implied my classmate, but the era of my better feeliDg had gone by. By this time, too, the angry excitement in the college had infected my own brain. I believed in the fellow's guilt because I wanted to, not because there was the slightest evidence to support the belief."' " 'Have you any grounds for presuming that your fiiend is innocent?' asked the president, gravely. "I knew that my testimony could have saved my old mate. But for answer I shrugged my shoulders, and kept silence. That shrug condemned him, and wrecked his career. The next day the poor boy was expelled, with the stigma of UDproved crime indellibly stamped upon his life. 'To my senior year the j initor confessed to all the thefts. Then it was remembered that, after all, no one saw my friend cheat at the examination. The first finger of mistrust, pointed at him perhaps in jealous whim, perhaps by an accident of sheer recklessness, had made him a speckled bird.' But it was too late to atone for our base behavior. No reparation was then possible. Branded and discouraged, he had drifted lower until he became little belter than a vagrant. "A few years after this, I read in a paper that a person by his name was lying wounded in a hospital in New York. I took the next train there, and in few days my old friend died in any arms. He had forgiven us all. But could I ever forgive myself that shrug?that silent lie? It had brought him to a dishonored grave. I am haunted every day of my life by my poor friend. I shall see his wasted, kindly face propped up in that white hospital cot until the day of my death." -1 IPT i-1 w ( nrrTnmanwamMiTMM b Royal makes the food pure, I | 9 wholesome and delicious.

C , Jan. 20.?At 10:15 o'clock "\Yeduesday night the jury had not returned a verdict in j the Newbold case, for the killing of Mr. J. H. Turner, as stated in a special dispatch in today's Register. However, at 10:30, after the judge had been called, the jury handed in a verdict of "Not guilty." There was some little applause from ex-constables and a few others. WILL HE BE REINSTATED. It is known that prior to the killi ing of Mr. Turner that Governor j Ellerbe valued the services of Deteci tive Newbold very highly and is rej ported to have said on one occasion that more good resulted from NewI j hold's services ti an from the efforts ; of any ten men similaily employed. It is generally intimated that Mr. : Newbold would be re-instated right | away as chief of the detective force. A reporter for The Register called | up the Governor by telephone and ! asked if Mr. Newbold would be re- ! j ' I ; appointed to his old position. The I answer was emphatic but unsatisfac- j lory. The Governor said: "Mr. Newbold has not made appli- | ; cation for re iustatement." What Everybody Knows. Or ought to know, is that health and j >.ven life itself depends upon the condition of the blood. Feeding, as it J does, all the organs of the body, it | . must be rich and pure in order to j give proper nourishment. Hood's i Sarsaparilla makes the blood pure, : rich, nourishing, aud in this way i strengthens the nerves, creates an ; j appetite, tones the stomach and | | builds up the health. Hood's Sarsa | J parilla wards off colds, pneumonia | and fevers, which are prevalent at | this time. 12 . . TV f.Tifl wmyt ?-O The following scrap, found among some old papers, is worth saving and ! perpetuating: "No matter who you I are, what your lot, or where you live, j you cannot afford to do that which is I wrong. The only way to obtain hapJ piness and pleasure for yourself is to ! do the right thing. You may Eot j always hit the mark: but you should, nevertheless, always aim for it, and ! with every trial your skill will inj crease. Whether you are to be i blamed or praised for it by others, ! whether it will seemingly make you i richer or poorer, or whether or not j other persons than yourself know of J your action, still always and in all i cases dothe light thing.
