Stops are now being made to or ganizo a '-ot ton sohool in Greenville to convene at some suitable time for farmers to attend, probably in July, for the purpose of teaohing farmers how to nam plo and grade cotton, the course of the cotton trade, how to store, ship and handle cotton. We want at least 100 cotton experts from tho farms in South Carolina to station over the State for the pur pose of protecting the interest of cotton growers in the matter of placing their cotton upon the market. No doubt about it that there is not one cotton grower in a thousand is up-to-date in classifying the ootton he raises. Average cotton growers do not know how to prepare their1] cotton for market to the best advan tage; neither do they know what grade they have. W. C. Moore, of Greenville, S. C., will tell you all about terms and other information about this farmers' cotton school. Colton Seed Moat Killing Cows. Complaints are coming from far and near about cows dying from the suppressed effects of feeding on cot ton seed meal. Some of these complainers claim to have the knowledge that, in order j to raise the ?rade of nitrogen in meal that has too much hulls to grade seven per cent nitrogen, nitrate of soda has, in some cases, been added to raise the nitrogen to the standard, and that this nitrate of soda in tho meal is the cause of death to tho cows. But as nitrate of soda sells for over $50 per ton and cotton seed meal for $?10 or less, no business man would do this kind of exchange business unless he found that he had too much hulls in his meal to pass muster and was therefore compelled to raise tho standard of nitrogen by screening tho hulls out or with ni trate of soda, which, no doubt, will kill cows or hogs. But there is anotbor cause in old, dark, musty meal that perhaps kills moro cows than any other cause. Cotton seed meal that has a canary color and a lively frosh feeling about it is the only olas8 of meal fit to feed. Any other is risky.

Department should be addressed to Pendleton, S. C. Sharp praotioe in the colton meal trade, it seems, is ripe in the laud. For the last few years, it ?B stated, something like fifty per oent more bulls have been added to the meal for the avowed purpose of opening up the mass whioh gives a large in crease amount of oil per ton of seed, whioh is true, and we may add that the addition of hulls sells in meal at #80 per ton, whilo the hulls by them selves sell for about one-third the! price of meal. The oil mill men that have been interviewed on the subject claim that the South Carolina law lower ing the standard from eight per cent j nitrogen to seven was done in order to enable the low grade seed of tho low oountry to oome in as well as1 long staple cotton seed meal. But as the standard for long staple cot ton seed meal is only four per cunt and this meal is generally sold to unsuspecting buyers at about the same prioe as other seven per cent meal, we fail to oatoh at this reason as we oan the reason that hulls sell higher in the meal than by them selves. Bioko Loose In Georgia. The Farmers' Union in Georgia is now up against the low graU* ootton seed meal of that State, too. The hot stuff in the thing, it seems, started about this way : Some mem bers of the Farmers' Union had the gt'.b to call on some of their stiff .oil mili tuen about the superabundance of hulls in the meal, when one mill man had the gall to say that he did not care a big darn what the Farm ers' Union said. Wherefore, these Farmers' Union fellows got a little hot in the collar and made a move at the oil mills sending out adulte rated meal just to see if the Farmers' Uuion of Georgia was worth a little darn or not, whioh finally terminated in a rigid enforcement of the law on the subject of ootton seed meal, whioh, we are informed, knooked out eighteen mills from selling meal in that.

John Kilgoro was a member of Har per's Company in tbe 14th South Caro lina Volunteers during the war between the States. He now livos in Waycross, Georgia, and wishing to get a pension it was neoossary for him to get some ono to oertify as to his servioes as a Boldior. So he directed a letter to George Bell, of Lowndesville, who served with him. George Bell died in 1868, but Dr. J. B. Moseloy and other members of that gal lant oompany will look after the matter. There was nothing of the dude about Kilgoro, but when it oame to a fight he was there. The kind of mau ho was may bo seen from the following taken from the book entitled "Lee's Sharpshooters," written by Major W. S. Dunlop, who commanded McGowan's Sharpshooters. The soene was on the Petersburg lines. Major Dunlop says: "The corn in the field betwoen the lines was in a full state of roasting ear, and hoing on neutral ground, both sides claimed the right to forage from it, at least to the center of the field. This for aging was continued, without objection, until the Held was stripped to a narrow belt running across the center, when tho sharpshooters wero ordered to stop. De spite the order, however, a few shifty, hungry, daring fellows, leaving their arms and accoutrements on the rifle pits to deoeive their officers, who now and then slip off and get a mess of corn. This was oontinued on both sides until thoro remained only a scattering ear Here and there along the center. Finally, John Kilgore, a thin ribbed, self-sustaining, nimble jointed sharpshooter, slipped out to get a few ears of oom, when he met one of his blue-coated, well fed neigh bors on the same errand. Ho discovered that tho gentleman in blue supported a brand new hat, the Uko of whioh ho had not seen for years, and determined to capture him, hat and all-at all events the hat. Accordingly, sounding tho charge, ho mado for the fellow at full speed; and now they had it up and down, and round and round through the denne maon of growing corn, until the Federal dropped the hat and made a bee line for home. Kilgoro suspended the charge, pioked up the hat, gathered bis corn and quietly returned to his poBt satlsflod, and reported the results of tho expedition. -Abbeville Medium.

HOW HE WAS TREATED BY A KANSAS AUDIENCE WHAT 00 YOU THINK OF IT ? It cannot be oharged against Kan? eas that it habitually hides its light under a bushel Qr that it is negligent in reporting ourrent affairs in this branch of the national viueyard for the common information, so that the faot that Senator Tillman oame to Kansas, delivered his lecture, whioh has oreated everywhere else a sensa tion approximating in some instances to a riot, before an audience at our Slate Agricultural College, and left the State without creating enough of a ripple to indioate to the average reader that he had orossed the Kan sas threshold, will not be attributed to any lack of alertness in this State. That Kansas treated Tillman differ ently-in fact, didn't treat him at all -is not to the discredit, but to the credit of Kansas' good sense. In other places when Tillman has called upon his audience to stand up and vote on the question put to J them, as to vhether the white is nu perior to the negro race, the audi ences have obediently stood up. At Manhattan this week, when the Till man challenge was shot at the audi ence, nobody voted at all cn either side. There was no riot, not even a flutter. Instead of occupying the place of honor in the first column of the first page of the papers the next morning, tho report of Tillman's lec ture filled a quarter column on an inside page, but it told all that any intelligent person need to know of the speech and antics of the South Carolina rabble rouser. Tillman started his speech, complaining that the hall was overheated and criticiz ing the committee of arrangements. When he asked those who believed the white man superior to the col ored, and then tho contrary vote, to rise, nobody stood up, as we have Btated, on either side. Lafir, when he asked for a vote on the question whether the white race should gov ern in this country, two or three per sons in the audience, out of courtesy or commiseration for the speaker, Btood up. Nobody met Tillman at the train, which was provoking and unintentional, due to a misunder standing. Mr. Tillman was in two wrecks on his way tojfjManhattan. The report of his lecture says that it is generally condemned as without sense or point or suggested remedy for grievances described by the pitchfork orator. In short, if all his audiences were as little impressed by Tillman as that at Manhattan, his stock in trade as a| platform orator, addioted to boorish ness of manners and vulgarity of speech, would soon be reduced bolow par.-Kansas Weekly Capital, May 28d.
