To the Editor of the Dispatch: The abundance of rain has somewhat ceased and sunshiny days once t again broods in our midst. I A great deal of damaged fodder has been gathered this seasou. The scorching rays of -a burning sun continues to open the fleecy staple which is being hastily gathered and sold at the enormous prices of 4 80o and oc. Perhaps our farmers will see after awhile that 4c cotton will not pay. Pears, rice, potatoes, etc., are look- j ing weli, notwithstanding the exces- | sive rains. Mr. R E. Mack is having a fine, ; eight room dwelliug erected. Mr. W. B. Furlick, the contractor, is pushing the work and when completed, it will be one of the most com- j fortable and handsomest habitations in our country. Mrs. John Reeder who has been ill for some time, under the skilfull treatment of that experienced physician W. T. Brooker, is able to ride out again. Mrs. Felix has returned from her extensive visit and Billy is beaming all over with happiness and smiles by the presence and gentle caresses j of a loving and devoted companion. The recent primary passed off quietly and while we all did not get the men we voted for, xet we submit to the majority and hope for good results from them in the future. Hostilities between Uncle Sam and the Queen Regent having ceased, for a season at leas*, "Klondike'' peeps forth from among the underbrush of in and near the well known waters of Black Creek and gives a brief account of his stewardship. We are always glad to see you out among us "Klondike." There has been a great deal of sickness of late in our community. While many have battled faithfully against the diseases, yet death has plucked some of the brightest flowers and garnered some of the most loving and precious jewels. Two pure, innocent and spotless, little souls have been removed to the throne of Him who said: "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of God." Mnorprie E. the little infant daugbter no" w of Mr. L. K. Goodwin and wife was born Oct. 8, 189C, and died August 15, 1898. The darling little Lucius Lyston, son of Mr. G. W. Pound and wife also bom December 18, 1897, and died August 24, 1898. Their little remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Gaston to await the summons, while their immortal spirits were bourn on the pinions of an angelic host, to be clothed in a spotless robe made white in the blood of the Lamb. These babes I are not dead, but sleep, and their spirits now walk the golden streets of the New Juresalem where there is no night nor death, and stands with beckoning hands, wooing fond ULd heart broken parents to come. May their death be a golden cord ever binding the bleeding hearts of the bereaved parents to the bosom of the Father. Weep not for us dear papa and mamma, but put )our trust in Jesus and meet us where? There's one eternal day, And with us forever stay. Meet us here by Jesus' side, And with Him we'll all abide. The entire town ana community goes out in deep sympathy to the bereaved parents and especially by Billy Felix. ? - Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Columbia Register, Sept. 21. The Cotton Growers' convention j was held last night in the couuty j court house and the meeting was full of interest to those who attended. The reduction of the acreage of cotton was the question that attracted j the attention of the delegates. Col. L. "\V. You man s of Barnwell, made an interesting address. The following is the speech in full: Gentlemen of the Cotton Growers' Convention: You doubtless remember the occasion that called the growers of cotton to meet in State convention? then an inter-State convention?at Atlanta. At the convention it was resolved to enter the Cotton Growers' Protective convention that was called to meet at Memphis by Hon. Hector D. Lane. The Atlanta convention adjourned without taking any decisive stand, but sent delegates to Memphis for the next week convention, which met and re-elected Mr. Lane president. But, unfortunately for the cotton interests of the south, 4 the health of Mr. Lane failed and he could not push the vioik as was ex pected by bis friends. At a recent convention of the vieea nnflnn ftmirinor I piroiucuin 11 vui tuv wwuu v? State, in Memphis, Mr. Maxwell of Louisiana was elected as president. It is hoped that this organization of Cotton Growers union will accomplish much toward and organization that will be of inestimable benefit to the cotton interest of the south. When I approach the subject my heart almost fails me, because within and around this subject dwells interest that more minutely and intensely touch the happiness of our people than that of any half dozen interests combined. We see every other interest combining and uniting as corporation, trust, or something of the kind. And here we stand tonight, disorganized, disheartened and in dispair. Shall we like dumb driven cattle not open our mouths? God forbid. We must act; we must organize and act. I have called this convention at the request of many earnest men. Everyone has been invited to bring or send their plans and suggestions. I will not submit a plan tonight; in stead, I think we need organization, and through this organization the object can be obtained. Be not deceived; it will take money to push this matter, and if you desire to push this subject we must at this meeting provide for funds to push organization. There are many propositions to be submitted. I desire to submit that the reduction in acreage is the thing to be desired. It must be obtained by unity of action, and I desire to prtss the idea that individual action is greatly to be depended upon.. While in attendance at the Atlanta convention the proposition was made by Prof. Hunnicut that each individual member present sign a pledge to reduce bis individual cottoucrop. To my surprise, it seemed to create as much commotion as a 13 inch shell would have done. It has been stated that our convention has not intended to reduce the acreage. I deny this most emphatically. But we have much more to do, and must proceed to a greater reduction. If reduction is not reached to a greater extent, the cotton grower should be prepared to take 4 cents for bis cotton. Now is the time to act. ? The Re-election of Gov. Ellerbe. Abbeville Press and Pinner. Despite a combination of influences against him, Governor Ellerbe has received the nomination for a second term. In that campaign there is not only ] much food for thought, but there is j room for all sorts of speculation. Governor Ellerbe's total vote is not greatly different from the vote on which the other State officers were nominated. All the old State officers were beaten except in the case of Governor E lerbe. The dispensary figured not at all )ODS r, JZS-, age. Prompt and ] in the case of the other State officers. The whole fight against the dispensary was made on Governor Ellerbe, and he alone of the old set came off victorious.

The vote which Featherstone re- I ceived may be said to include: 1. Prohibitionists. 2. All who had a grievance against Filer be. 3.

Among which we might mention: 1 tta is o loo/tirirr t?ofnrmor 2. He is a poor politician, and has made various mistakes in his appointments. 3. His effort to enforce the disi pensary law. 4. His appointment of officers in ' the volunteer regiment. ellerbe's clean administration. But despite his mistakes, Gov- j ernor Ellerbe has made a good Gov- | ernor.

The most ludicrous thing in all ; this campaign is the dismay which the State newspaper spread among his brethien in its support of Ellerbe The daily brother was simplyjitruik amidship, while the country brother j who had looked to that paper for its political policy, as well as direction in other matters, was in as bad a fix as Moses is said to have been when the light went out. He just didn't know where he was. * A Cure for Bilious Colic. I was troubled with constipation for a : long time.

Kaufmann. Polite Attention. Ellsrbo Thanks the People. Grateful for the Support Given Him in the Primary. Governor Ellerbe, on being asked if he had auvthiner to sav for nublica y cj y * lion in reganl to his nomination, made the following reply toaColum1 bin State reporter recently: "I am deeply grateful to my fellow citizens who supported my candidacy for re-election. I attribute my small majority to the opposition of towns and cities to the dispensary and the increasingly loyal vote polled in the country. I shall always remember with pleasure and a profound sense of gratitude the handsome vote I received in the first primary. "Considering the strength of my opposition, opposed as I was by a number of influential and able men, it was the compliment of my life. But grateful as I am to the people of the State for again honoring me with their suffrages, I accept the congratulations of friends with mingled feelings c-f joy and sadness? joy at the renewed manifestation of confidence in me and sadness because of a realizing sense of the enormous responsibility again assumed. I have no other ambition except the faithful and conscientious discharge of mv official duties and hope when my second term shall have ended I shall have done something worthy to be remembered. I have had a great deal to contend with since I have been Governor, and, beiDg an inexperienced man, it was but natural that I should have made mistakes; but my experience will be worth something to me in the future, and I trust my administration during the second term will more fully meet the approval and confidence of the people. "I ask forgiveness for these who have wilfully and maliciously slandered me and trust they may be taught that open, honest, disinterested criticism is right and is to be welcomed, but that abuse, slander and misrepresentation is unmanly and dishonorable.

During the late fall and winter months the climate in Cuba is not only er-joyable but healthful, and with such care as will be taken for the health and comfort of the American forces to be stationed in Cuba officials of the war department have no fear that serious iliness among the men will follow the occupation of the island.

This particular island forms one side of the gateway through which must pass all of the extensive commerce that flows between Australia, Micronesia and southern China. The passage is narrow, and if the islands of the Philippine group are to be retained, outside of Luzon, this island of Palawan must be kept, as forming one side of the gateway.

A CRITICAL TIME | During the Battle of Santiago. SICK OR "WELL, A RUSH NIGHT AND DAY. Tbe Packers at the Battle of Santiago de Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammunition and Rations to the Front Saved the Day. P. E. Eutler, of pack train No. 3, writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on July 23k, says: "We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it wa9 a case of insh and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I siucerelv believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way getting supplies to tho front. There were no roads' that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for our packtrain before we left Tampa and I kuow in four cases it absolutely saved life." The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, Chamberlain Medicine Co., Dos Moines, Iowa. For sale by J. E. KaufmanD.

The Spaniards still hold seven seaports in the Phillippines and it is likely there will be more fighting. The health conditions of the Araerican troop3 at Santiago last Thursday night indicates a djstinct im provemenr. Truth wears well. People have learned that De Witt's Little Early Risers are reliable little pills for regulating the bowels, curing constipation and sick headache. They don?t gripe. J. E. Kaufraann. Thomas J. Mackey, ex Judge of the Circuit Court of South Carolina, was arrested in Philadelphia "Wednesday, on the charge of bigamy. Accordingly he was arraigned before Magistrate Jermon late in the afternoon of the same day. The hearing was postponed pending further investigation by the police. Ambassador Hay says that the attitude of England during the war was absolutely correct and strictly natural. Still, at thesametime, England showed a great deal of friendship for the United States. The feeling of the neoole of England was strongly in favor of this country.
