Poplar, Scptcmbor 14.-Editors Koo wco Courier: Pleaso givo me space in your paper to say a word or so to my brother farmers. In the first place, thoro is not near so much cotton going to bo mado as thc government report has it, and if wo will put it on tho market gradually-not overrun tho market, and bring tho price down some days, and then stop hauling until it goes up a few points, but just keep a few wagons in town-tho price ..ill stay up higher than it is now. The mills will pay 15 cents per pound* boforo thoy will stop their machinery, and tho good-hearted morchant will not push us because ho wants us all to pay out. If wo havo to sell for a low pi ice they may not get their pay, and Mio poor editors and doctors will never get a cent. I wish wo had a warehouse to storo our cotton in. I tell you the time bas come when thc farmers can make an in dependent living and Homo clear money if he,' will just stick together and help oach other. I don't, believe thero will bo as much cotton made in tho United States as thero was last year, bocauso we havo had moro disasters-in somo places drouth, somo too wet. In some sections hail and wind havo destroyed a lot; in other places tho heavy rains havo ruined the crops, and now a lot of cotton in Oco nee county is opening half grown and it will tako throe UPIOH as many bolls to make a pound as it would if they wore fully matured. Just look at Texas for a fow minutes. Sho is suffering from tho tap worm, tho boll weevil, and my notion is that if the farmers will just use a little common sense, judgment nnd patience, they can get from 12 to 15 couts por pound for every pound of their orop. So, brother farmers, watch; and when your neighbor starts to town with a load of cotton you stay at homo until tho next day. Don't rush it all off in three or four weeks. W. II. Cole.

Many a woman re alizes this as she lies awake hour by hour, peopling the darkness with phan toms, starting at the creaking of the bed or the rustle of the bedclothes. Such symp toms in general point to disease of the delicate womanly or gans, and a con stant drain of the vital and nervous forces. This condition cannot lie over come by sleep ing powders. The diseased condition must be cured l>efore thc conse quencCii of dis ease are re moved. Dr. Pierce's Pa vori te Pre scription cures the womanly diseases which cause nervous ness and sleep lessness. It is the liest of tonics and in vigorants, nourishing the nerves, en couraging the appetite and inducing refreshing sleep.

BAUKNIGH *w. c. T. v.m sm?; ^fc?^;^*??^ Liquor Business as Prosecuted in this State. I desire to give expression to some thoughts on this question which in my judgment is the most serious problem that is waiting solution by the people of South Carolina. I want to say in tue outset that I at first was a strong friend of tho dis pensary system and voted for it, be cause I honestly believed that it would destroy the open saloons, and would go a long way to minimize the use of intoxicating liquors. The law was framed ostensibly for that purpose, and tho system established with ?his claim, and tho law as first enacted, if strictly adhered to and enforced, would have accomplished this result. At first the dispensaiies were sup plied with a high grade of liquor at a high price. This was wiso and should have been continued as a permanent polioy. But this policy was found to bo unpopular with a large class of liquor drinkers who had been accustomed to cheap, whis key, and in order to mollify this class ana 4p keep them in line in the primaries tho cheap "Fuss X" stuff, or in other words, tho very lowest, poorest class of liquor, was supplied. We don't need to go far to ascertain the motive for this. Every thinking man of practical common sense knows that if the policy of high grade liquor at a high price had been the policy and ad hered to, the use of intoxicating liquor among tho poorer classes of our people would have been de creased fifty per cent. But time has proved that small sales was not tho Object or purpose of tho astute poli ticians who foisted this system upon the people of thc State. So far as the people are concerned, it was a leap in the dark, and was a rash ex periment by politicians who were woefully lacking in the elements of true statesmanship. Wo hear it said on all sides that this system is better than the barrooms. In some respects that is true, but in some others it is not true. Is it not a hu miliating position and a disgraceful spectacle to the view of enlightened Christian men and women the world over, that the people of tho proud old Palmetto State, with her glorious history of the past, should go bodily into the business and deal out to her citizens this beverage of hell for the sake of tho revenue, thus placing money above thc manhood and wo manhood of the State ? I hoar it said by thc advocates of this system, that the State had as well soil it as to farm out the privilege to private individuals to sell it. This is a specious argument, and is based upon a false premise. The State did no such thing, but under ,.ic local option law that existed prior to tho institution of the dispensary system, th? incorporated towns and cities cf the State were allowed to issue licenses to retail liquor if it was the expressed will of their citizens to do so. My recollection of the law is, that ono hundred dollars of every license feo was to go to the counties, but nothing to tho State. Many of us contonded that one-half should go to the counties, then tho towns would not have boen so ready to grant thc licenses. With this provision it would have been tho best liquor law that the State has over had. Now, what are the good features of tho dispensary system? (I don't mean tho law, but as tho business is operated.) The liquor is sold in pockages of not less than half pints and is not sold after sunset nor be fore sunrise and is not drum, m tho premises. All tho other good pro visions of the law aro ignored and don't count in the reckoning. What aro tho bad features of the system? In the first place, it is a huge, cum bersome, expensive business, which costs an enormous amount of money to run it. In other words, the profits are exceed ingly small in proportion to tho ex penditures, when we consider the vast amount qf liquor sold, and espo oially wheu wo consider tho high price and low quality of the goods.

This organiza tion is destined to become, In fact has already become, a festering, offensive sore in our body politic, corrupting the fountain of our State govern ment. Pure streams will not and cannot How from . a impure fountain. Who are selling liquor in South Carolina ? Directly the officials of the State government ; indireetly overy mau and woman in tho Stato. Is it wrong to retail intoxicating liquor as a beverage? Hund..^ds and thousands of thc best ru.'M and women in the State think >BO, and have said so by thoir votes, yet we have against thoir protest made them partners in the biggest retail liquor business ever prosecuted in tho United States. Every president of a college, every principal of a graded school, every teacher, malo or female, of every school that participates in the distribution of the public school funds or receive State aid, is parti ceps criminis in tho whole layout from start to finish. When tho dispensary law was first enacted it provided that all the profits of the business should go to the public school fund. Hut it trans pired that in some counties no dis pensaries could bo established by the vote of tho people, and under thc law these counties shared equally in the distribution of tho profits going to the public school fund. Political sagacity, or political trickery, de manded that the law be so altered as to cut these counties out of any share of this liquor money an in duce them to establish dispensaries. In order to populariz? the system, an appeal was made to the cupidity of the people by an amendment to tho law fixing tho amount of profit to the State not to exceed ten percent, and.all tho balance of tho profits to l)e equally divided between thc towns and counties to bo used for general purposes, tims increasing their reve nues without additional taxation.

The Manufaoturesr' Record is of the opinion that all Southern Statos ought to have striotor vagrancy lawB, but adds that to make them most effootivo they must bo supplemented by a law providing for an adoquate police proteotion in the country dis triots. As vagrants are driven from tho oities they must go to the coun try, and whilo a great many of them will go to work on tho farms num bers of them will remain shiftless, idle and a menace to the communi ties in which they exist. Tho Manu facturers' Record suggests the or ganization of a police patrol some what upon the Hues of the old patrpi before tho war, but modified to suit ohanged conditions. This question ought to be con sidered by our Legislature in connec tion with vagrancy, says tbe Co lumbia Record. It is undoubtedly a faot ihat life in the rural districts is not as Bafe as it ought to bo, and for tho protection of women especially some system of rural police ought to be established. Many residents of the country go to live in towns be cause they feel this ever preBont danger, but with moro adequate pro tection they would remain, and so much valuable land would not be abandoned to worthless nego tenants. Of course we do not mean to say that this is the chief reason why so so mauy farmers are going to tho towns, but it is one consideration and an important one in many oaseB. The cost of such a system need not necessarily be largo, but even if it requires tho levy of a small extra tax it would Beem that those who have it to pay would do so willingly. It would relieve them of a costly burdon and a dangerous element and enable them to pursue their business in peace and with a security that they do not now enjoy. It is a matter that demands serious consideration, and it seems to us tho cost would bo very insignificant in comparison with tho benefits. In connection with the wide dis cussion upon lynching, mob law and violence generally, the Atlanta Con stitution prints an interview with ex-Qovornor W. J. Northen that is interesting and profitable. Ile is primarily responsible for the intro duction of the anti-lynohing legisla tion in Georgia during his term of offico, and ho holds that tho races aro moro in harmony than at any time since the war. He waa asked to sugg?r? a remedy for vagrancy and mob la^/and replied as follows : "I b ieve the people in tho rural districts aro as much entitled to po lice protection as the people in tho cities. I do not make thc suggestion because of tho presence of the no groes any more than I would make the suggestion to the cities because of their absence, but on general con ditions that demand proteotion. Every county in this State and in every State, North or South, should havo a police force efficient and active. Tho sheriff should bo chief of suoh county police, and ace that they aro vigilant. This will not only largely eliminate tho little re maining spirit therc is still among our people to deal summary, ven geance upon outlaws, hat it would furnish such protection as to prevent orimes of all kinds in the rural sec tions. It is well to say, as you havo doubtless observed, but that there has been not only leBs occasion for mob violence because of assaults, but that the people have moro gene rally refrained from violence and awaited aotion by the courts. Tho relations between tho races aro not so antagonistic as formerly, but far more co-operative.

Returning to Ken tucky he was elected to the Legisla ture as a Democrat.

Tillman'* Defenoe Fund. The Washington correspondent of the Savannah News writes as follows : One of the Democratic leaders from South Carolina passed through Washington this week ou his way to Saratoga for bis annual vacation. He was formerly an anti-Tillmanite Deraoorat, but recently ho has buried the hatchet, in an endeavor to hiing about harmony in the party. Re ferring to Senator Tillman's interest in the ooming trial of his nephew, Jim Tillman, obarged with the mur der of the late Editor Gonzales, this gentleman said : "1 understand tho Tillman family j bas raised a puree of $20,000, to be expended in an effort to prevent the conviction of Jim Tillman. The ablest or ira i nal lawyers in South Caro lina aro at work on the case, and one of the number, who has a groat repu tation as a pleader before s jury, has openly predioted that he will seonre Tillman's aoquittal." The same gentleman related an in oident to show that Senator Tillman takes a more conservative view of State politioB than he did a few years ago. At a recent politioal gather ing the subject under consideration was-tho adoption of certain party principles. There were Tillman and anti-Tillman factions present. One of Senator Tillman's lieutenants pre sented a resolution whioh, to the sur prise of Senator Tillman, reoeived the endorsement of a man who had previously been one of Senator Till man's most outspoken opponents. With a tinge of satisfaction and a shadow of aaroasm in his manner, Senator Tillman expressed his sur prise that the gentleman from oounty could bring himself to sup port a measure or a proposition whioh he (Tillman) favored. "I have heard the same gentleman say," continued Senator Tillman, "that ho would rather vote for the devil than give his sanction to a Till man proposition. Now what puzzles me is, bow oan thc gentleman be con sistent after that declaration, and yet favor the pending proposition ?" In reply, the gontleman addressed said : "I admit that I said I would voto for the dtvil before I would vote for Tillman, and in justification of my present course I desire to state that you are the nearest approach to the devil I ever expect to see, hence I am prepared to vote with you this time." This retort convulsed the conven tion with laughter, at the expense of Senator Tillman. When th? latter could make himself heard, he added,( good-naturedly, with a character istic, shako of his head and arms, "You're a good fellow, and I'm not going to quarrel with you." The resolution carried, the two men shook hands, md are now con sidered fast friend ^. .-^ ? A New Jersey Editor's Testimoney. M. T. Lynch, editor of tho Philipsburg. N.

County Official Oona Wrong. Marion, S. C., September 18. Within the last few days two war rants have been sworn out here against G.

The warrants were based on affida vits made by D. P. McIntyre and h. V, Moody, sohool trustees, and were issued by Magistrate D. J. Oliver, of this polioe. One of the affidavits alleges that on the 24th day of May, 1908, one O. Raymond Berry, with intent to swindle and defraud, did feloniously make, forge and counter feit the names of Luther Carmichael, B. A. Harrelson and D. P.

Moody, school trustees, were forged to a sohool pay certificate for the sum of $60. Although the Sheriff has made diligent searoh for Berry ho has not yet been apprehended and it is thought that he has fled from the State. The amount of money pro cured by the Superintendent of Edu oation by these methods is thought to be in the neighborhood of $2,000, though the exact amount cannot bo definitely ascertained until a full in vestigation has been nade.

The Fifteenth Amendment Cbioago, September 18.-A dis patch to the Tribune from Memphis, Tenn., says : United States Senator Carmaek explained last night that bis purpose in proposing to introduce a bill st the next session of Congress for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment, thus disfranchising the negro, is sim ply to open up a discussion whioh will contribute to a solution of the race problem. To Senator Carmaok's mind the surest plan of solving the negro question aa it affeota the white race, both sooially and politically, lies in the negro's elimination from politics. Should the fifteenth amendment bo repealed the question of treating with the negro would be left to the States. Another view entertained by Sena tor Carmaek is for the separation of the races. But how to prooeed or how long it will take he does not at tempt to say. Ile believes, however, that the raceB would be better con ditioned if they were separated. He believes the black raoe is a failure, that it owes what little it has achieved to its association with the white race. As to the enfranchisement of the negro immediately after the war be tween the States, the Senator re gards that as a mistake, tor which the repeal of the fifteenth amend ment would be only partial repara tion.
