HOL? YOUR SPOT COTTON. Reduce Acreage-Plant Crops that Can be Eaten and Fed to Stock. 9 Pendleton, April 28.--The manu ctun-rs of North and South Caro lina have decided to close down the mills July 1st. If the cloth market is so bad, lt looks like it would be good Judgment to close earlier, SB by July 1st the closing will be compul sory. Holders of spot cotton, take a firm hold, and do not be bluffed as you have been in the past. Cotton is scarcer than it has been in years, and the mills are about out of cotton not enough on hand to run thirty ays, and goods have not fallen in rice. . Cotton gets, high w! an it gets out of the producers' hands. ; The government wants to buy five ?o ten million dellars' v/crth o? duck ing, which will, take some cotton, Fall goods have not been contracted for yet, but will have to be soon. Hold your cotton for the minimum price. Cotton exchanges and their agents have been trying to create public sen timent that fifteen cents ls too hight and on account of the holding cam paign of the farmers the financial centre in New York has been shaken. Widespread panic prevails. If it ls a fact that the Farmers' Union lias in so short a time shaken the great Gibraltar of stock gam blers, we should accept lt as the high est tribute to unity among the farm ers, and call upon every loyal farmer in the South to join us, then with a firm hand obllter?te this dsn gerous systom of doing business, which only can be done by thorough organization of farmers. This ls a day of organization. It seems the crop Is two or three weeks late and the seed bed worse prepared than In many years, as the spring and winter has been BO wet that lt was Impossible to plow deep, which means poor stands and short crop. Don't forget the 1907 crop ls 4, 500,000 bales short. Hold to your cotton, futures cannot be spun and woven into cloth, If lt, could spot would not be worth gin ning. B. Harris. President, Farmers' Union. Tired nerves, with that "no ambi tion" feeling that ls commonly felt In spring or early ?ummer can be easily and quickly altered by taking what is known to druggists everywhere as Dr. Snoop's Restorative. One will absolutely note a changed feeling In 48 hours after beginning to take the Restorative. The bowels get sluggish In the winter time, tho. circulation often slows up, the kidneys are Inac tive, and even the heart in many In stances grows decidedly weaker. Dr. Shoop's Restorative is recognized everywhere as a genuine tonic to these vital organs, lt builds up and strengthens the worn-out, weakened nerves; lt sharpens the falling appe tite and universally aids digestion. It always quickly brings renewed strength, life, vigor and ambition. Try lt and be convinced. Sold by Dr. J. W. Bell, Walhalla. UNDER BEAMS OF SUNSHINE.

The South ls producing an average of a.Wit twelve million bales of cot ton a year. The time is rapidly com ing when this must be increased to twenty million bales or more to meet the world's requirements. The gain in consumption will require an aver age of half a million bales a year. At this gain it v..xild require button years to make lt hecessary for the South to raise seventeen million, or eighteen million bales annually. There ls no reason why the world will not eventually need forty million or fifty million bales or more of Southern-grown cotton; and with good prices and an increase in the labor supply, even this would not be the limit of the South's ability. The practical monopoly of cotton production ls a potential power for the South as great as would be an equally strong domination of the world's iron ore supply. Sooner or later, when this section fully comprehends this great power, lt will make the world pay tribute to its coffers, just as would England or any other country which owned the world's iron ores. ' By reason of this condition cotton IgrowerB ought to be the most pros perous farmers in the world, and In time they doubtless will be.

O ICI NE 8 I IIOMMON?, VA., MB lOltON, HM?, TWO PORTRAITS OP TILLMAN I Ono is for Clemson College and One for Winthrop. ? (From the Columbia State.) Two life t izo portraits of Senator Tllman are nearing completion and are about to be shipped to South Car olina. The artist is Minn Clara Bar rett-Strait, who painted several of the portraits at the South Carolina Uni I versity. One of these portraits is for I Winthrop and the other for Clemson I College. The first painted 1B to take the place of the one now in the front j parlor of Winthrop and which, the ?Senator says, is a "monstrosity" for which he is not longer willing to stand. He employed Miss Barrett Si mit,accordingly tO get up one not quite BO monstrous. This she has suc ceeded in doing and the portrait, made the same size as the one now at Winthrop, will be shipped some time within the next week or ten days. The senator liked lt so well that he decided to have another pain", ad to be presented to Clemson. The sec ond one is now about finished. Both of them are in the Senator's commit tee room of the Five Civilized Tribes, : A Marrett-Strait is adding [the last touches. It was Intended that the two faces I should be exactly alike, although the position of the hands is slightly dif ferent. The >enator never has his hands in the sanio place for long. I This, however, is also true of his face, which is scarcely the same twice, so that in very truth to look at tho two pictures side by side one can dete:t I a decided difference of expression. There is something about the Win throp picture which imparts more benlgnance, or as some would doubt less prefer to put it, less mallgnance. The Clemson picture is a little moro stern looking, th? well known fierce look of the Senator coming out a lit tle sterner. Miss Barrett-Strait says this is flt and proper, for the Senator ought to look somewhat stern when he faces thc boys at Clemson, while at the girls Le should look beaming ly. In very truth there ls not much difference, but there ls enough to give color and correctness to this Import ant adaptation of the plastic counte nance to the character of the be holders. .
