As a rule we don't usc or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and s i m i ] a r expressions are made so often in connec tion with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost ll es li and vitality, and repairing w?isie. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul sion itself. What it does it does through nourish ment-the kind of nourish ment that cannot be ob tained in ordinary food. No S3rstem is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it.

New Orleans, November J8.-Fol lowing the arrival of President Har vie Jordan, the Southern Cotton As sociation claims to have perfected plans for tho taking off tho market of three million bales of cotton by moans of a*series of pledges which tho farmers will sign themselves, ' tating their name and address and the amount of cotton tboy will thus hold. The cotton held will not be sold for less than fifteen cents a pound. A representative of tho associa tion is to bo sent into every ono of the 817 cotton production counties of tho cotton belt at once. When tho pledges are signed they will be sent to the central office of tho asso ciation in Atlanta. President Jordan says that balf of the crop has already been sold at an average of ten cent) and the spinners must have all the remain der. He believes that fifteen cents for tho remainder is a fair price and it will only average tho spinners Vin cents, while they have based all their calculations on fourteen cent cotton. A Bank at Townville. [Anderson Mail, November 10.] A bank is to be organized at Townville, this county. It will have a capital of $20,000, and W. C. King, who was formerly in business in An derson as a member of tho firm of King & Martin, will likely be the cashier. Townville is in Fork town ship, some ten miles from a railroad, but it is located in ono of the best and most prosperous farming sec tions of tho county. Some time ago Mr. King conceived the idea that a bank would do well at Town ville, and be began talking tho mat ter among his neighbors. Tho idea took with them, and a few days ago Mr. King began soliciting subscrip tions. He has met with very grati fying success, and it is said now that the new bank is practically a cer tainty. Application will be made within a few days to the Secretary of Stato for a commission, and tho bank will probably be in op ration early within tha new year. Mr. King is a successful young business man, and there is no doubt that tho bank will do well under his management. It is said that the other officers have not yet been selected. Thc bank at Townville will be the fifth to be or ganized in Anderson county during this year. Tax on tho Dogs. Within the next two weeks Comp troller General Jones will figure out the amount of dog tax received by the county treasurers and notify the county superintendents of education and tho State Superintendent of Edu cation exactly how much to each county. Tho law Stater, that this money must bo distributed as other school money, and it. is presumed that this means that each county re ceives its own share, and it is not distributed according to enrollment as is the dispensary money. The Comptroller General is not yet prepared to make an estimate on the amount received, but the Stato Su perintendent of Education thinks that it will run at least $50,000 this year. Mr. Martin states that the school trustees in tho country dis tricts have been,watching tho returns and have forced a large number of dog owners to make returns for their canine pets. On the other band tho Comptroller General has been deluged with letters protesting against the payment of the tax und there is a promise of a nice row between the county auditors, thc school trustees and the owners of the dogs who do not like the tax. The J money received from this source, while greatly needed for new buildings and other necessities, will bo but a drop in tho bucket to tho amount lost by tho voting out of tho dispensaries. Already nearly $70,000 has been lost from this source, as tho tax put on tho dry counties by the Price act goes for tho support of tho constabulary and not for tho school fund. This is the proposition that is worrying tho school oflioials and will ho seriously discussed at tho session of tho Legislature.-Columbia Re cord, November 1G. Tho dog tax collectod in Oconoo county up to November 15 amounted to $105.50. H?RE, THERE AND YONDER. There is a movement on foot to create a now couuty from portions of Greenville and Spartanburg, with Gieers as tho county sont. A sur vey of the proposed now county is now buiog made. Assistant Attorney General You roans has decided thnt tout shows do not have to pay a license of $100 a I day to tho counties in which they exhibit. He says tho license applies to cireuses only. It is very evident that while it is easy to voto the dispensary out of tho various counties of the State it is not always so easy to vote the thirst out. Wo suggest to tho pro hibitionists that they find a way to do that.-Florence Times. The value of last year's egg crop was threo millions of dollars.

A case of unusual interest was commenced and concluded in the Court of General Sessions at Lex ington recently. The final decision of the Supreme Court in tho case may affect the validity of several marriages in South Carolina, where one or the other parties to it ob tained a divorce in the State of Georgia. It was the csse of a man who was married in this State, went to Georgia and got a divorce and married again in South Carolina. Ho was convicted of adultery. Columbia is not worrying about other parts of tho State voting out the dispensary, but it is continuing to drink dispensary whiskey in in creasing (piant ii irs. The dispensary sales in tho city last month broke all records. In profits alone the County Treasurer last month received ?8,092.ill), which is to bo equally divided between tho county and city. But it should not be forgotten that thc fair week sa' , which were about double any previous fair week, aro to bo counted in this month's re cord.
