Columbia, September 8.-Tho special term and special judge ovil is now prac tically a thing of tho pas!, thanks to the ?et L "i of the last Legislature in refusing to make appropriation for them. Some time ago Governor Heyward refused to order a special term for criminal busi ness on account of the Legislature's ac tion, but the law places the responsi bility as to civil extra terras on the local bar and the chief justice. Ina letter re ceived for the Governor to-day Chief Justice Pone declines the petition of the Barnwell bar for a special term and special judge, aaying: ''The Legislature rufased to make an appropriation for special courts and I think I mvni nay at tention to legislative aotion."

Texarkana, Texas, Soptembor 0.-Tho National Farmers' Union lust night fixed ll couts as the minimum price foi this I your's cotton crop. Tho meeting of the union was very largely attended.

Hot Springs, Ark., September 7.- The j Executive Committee of the Southern j Cotton Arsociation this afternoon recom mended to its members and cotton grow ers of tho South that no cotton be sold during the present season at less than 101 cent? pejr pound. In a re8olutiou, adopted by the com mittee, it is Btatod that tho crop is in a state of deterioration, and for that rea son no estimate of the crop was mado. Tho resolution states that the committee J is satisfied tho crop will not be as large j as the current estimate. The committee afterwards, in execu tive session, took up the charges against Secretary Cheatham of dealing in cotton futures while an officer of the associa tion. Mr. Brown, of North Carolina, re fused to sit with the committee in execu tive session, maintaining that tho sessions should be open. WHAT TUE OIL. MILL. PEOPLE SAY. Columbia, September ll.-At a meet ing of the South Carolina branch of the Inter-State Cotton Seed Crushers' Asso ciation, hold hore last week, reporta were received from the managers of 75 oil mills in this State giving estimates as to tho cotton crop. The average estimate as to tho condition of the crop was 74.2 per cont of tho condition at this date last year. The average estimate of this year's crop for South Carolina was 843, 000 bales, and tho average estimate for tho crop of the entire South was 12,400, 000 halos. At a meeting of tho association, held some months ago, a committee was ap pointed to consider the practicability of manufacturing alcohol from potatoes, according to tho formula givon out some time ?po by tho chemists in the Federal Department of Agriculture. The com mittee reported that it had not yet com pleted its investigations, and nothing j will bo done along timeline in this State for the present. It is understood that experiments are being mado in the West, and tho committee thought it best to await thc results of these experiments. COTTON HOTTINO IN HCl.LS. Goodwill, S. C., Soptembor 12.-The farmers hereabouts aro glad to soe that tho cotton speculators aro beginniug to see that tho cotton crop is short. Somo w.ll not make expenses under 12 cents, and a few not oven at 20 cents per pound. Cotton is rotting to such au extout that the prospectivo yiold of 30 days ago will be cut off one-third, and poorer cotton is completely washed out. Every boll in some fields will be open (or rotted if the rains and cloudy hot weather continues) iu two or three weeks. Grass in some lidos already obscuros the cotton, and tho bolls aro being searched for iu the grass. Late corn is a comparative fail ure. But pea vines and crab grass hay yields promise tho best in several years. Cutting has begun. Pain bom a Burn Promptly Relieved by Chamberlain's Pain Balm. A little child of Michael Strauss, of I Vernou, Conn., was recently in groat pain from a burn on the hand, and as cold applications ouly increased the in flammation, Mr. Strauss came to James N. Nichols, a local merchant, for some thing to stop tho pain. Mr. Nichols says: "I advised him to uso Chamber lain's Pain Balm, and tho lirst applica tion drew out the inflammation and gave j immediato relief. I have used this lini ment myself and recommeud it very often for cuts, burns, strains and lame back, and have never known it to disap point." For salo by J. W. Bell, Wal halla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca. A Visitor's Opinion of Clemson. Tho following was taken from the Mate of Soptembor 5th: Being a lover of agriculture and stock, and something of a farmer and stock raiser in North Carolina, and being a lit tle curious to seo and know how such things were done in our sister State, by invitation of Prof. C. C. Newman I made a short visit to Clemson College, where it was my pleasure to meet those conge nial and courteous gentlemen, Dr. Mell, Profs. Newman, Deichise, Burgess and I Dr. Power, veterinarian, and last but| not least, that clover gentleman, J. P. Lewis, farra manager. Mr. Lowis took mo over tho farm and showed mo tho | lirst nehl of corn that 1 had seen in South Carolina in a radius of two months travel. Have seen many brag fields, but as yet have not soon anything to comparo with tho Clemson fields, notwithstanding tho great drawbacks, caused by tho heavy rainfall during tho period of cultivation. Had conditions allowed him to culti VPH this field as it should have been, thore is no tolling tho yiold it would have made. I was very much impressed with Mr. Lowis' idea of running tho rows, to] lot iu tho sun to the plants, ospocially on rich lands, which produce heavy growth of stalk, three foot by twelve inches and six foot by twelvo inches. It isa most | excellent idea. Mr. Lewis evidently is master of his business. I saw their' herd of hogs-all in fino I condition and worthy to be ranked as ] thoroughbreds. Prof. Burgess showed me their new purchase from "Woodburn" stock farm -Berkshire boar. Tho professor also I showed mo many others that were good ones. I waa very muoh impressed with sani-1 tar y conditions of a cattle barn. Tke floors were so olean that a lady could have walked through and not soil ber skirts or white slippers. This institu tion the South Carolina people should be I proud of. J. W. Wiggins. Yanceyvllle, N. C., September 1, 1906. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS MAKE YOUR FORTUNE . > lu Fruit, Truck aud Town Properly!
