REV. Ci I). MANN ANNOUNCES. ile will ito in tho Race for Congress from the Third District. While the people of Oconee have for some time past pretty generally 'understood that Rev. Coke 1). Mann, now representing Oconee In the Leg islature, would be a capdldte for tho Congress ol' the United States to suc ceed lion. Wyatt Alkea, still no for mal announcement had been made by Rev. Mr. Mann through the press to that effect. Last week In Colum bia, however, he made the following remarks to a reporter for the Record of that city: "I will be in the race for Congress in the Third District next summer. If 1 am elodea I will not Introduce a prohibition bill in Congress, for the District of Columbia, but I win stand first for State's rights, after which 1 will stand for the moral up lift of all the people-politically, in tellectually and otherwise. This is not sudden temperance and morality, as 1 have lived and preached them for forty years. 1 will not presume to revolutionize the government of the United States, but if elected I will vote for the enactment of such meas ures ns will be for the greatest good to the largest number of the citizens of the commonwealth. I believe in a government by the people. I am opposed to combines and monopoly to oppress the poor and helpless. These things ought not to bo. If elected you will not have to go or write to Washington to know where I am. I will be right there, watching and listening to what ls going on, and when lt is necessary 1 will ex press myself fully and fearlessly on the Moor of Congress, and not walt to write a little speech and then ask for permission to have it printed lu the Congressional Record, like? is done often by members of the house. A man who cannot think well and speak has no business in Congress. There are a good many things which 1 could do if elected, as well as any man who has gone to Congress in the past twenty years, and this I will prove when the time comes."

President ?tarvett Call? on tho Euria* vi'? Ut Exert their Influence. Washington, Feb. IS.- Pr?sident . S. Barrett, of tho Fanners' Union, hns launched what promises to be one of the greatest tanners' cam paigns in many years. Ho has sent out a letter to mem bers of Hie union, reminding them of their wonderful united power, and calling on them to get in behind Congress in behalf of specified legis lation. The letter now sent out is only tile precursor of others aimed at concen trating the attention of f. miers on Congress, lt ls as follows: "To the ofllcers and members of the Farmers' Union: in obtaining measures of' direct interest to our members, the slowness of law-mak ers to respond to our requests is al most as much the fault of the farm ers as lt is of the law-makers them selves. 'Many of the leading Congressmen told us, in substance, after some lit tle conversation: 'Why didn't you come up before, face to face, this way, and get In behind us? Of course, we understand we made the farmers promises, and we expect you to call on us to redeem them.' "That's the milk in (he cocoanut with these and every other Congres man. "Brethren, don't let them forget: And the only way you can keep them from forgetting you is not to forget them! "1 have watched 'interest' after 'Interest' work here Hi rough its rep resentatives, and it caine to nie forci bly that not a one of them, nor all of them combined, and then doubled, is so powerful as Hie farmers of this country. "But all the power in creation would not forward Hie fight unless you keep in behind your Congress man and refuse to let him develop a poor memory. "There is hardly a farmer in the organisation, or out of it for that maller, who doesn't remember how the Congressman, when a candidate, told Iiiin o? his undying love, and how he promised this and that and just asked to be given a chance lo get Ulis and that. "How many of you have sent this promising brother gentle reminders, from time to time, in the shape of genial little letters, inquiring after his health, telling him you remem bered how much he loved you, and asking him when he expects lo get busy securing some of those things lie used to talk about ? "Mighty few of you, I reckon, The most of you recover from Hie ex citement ol' a political campaign like getting over Hie measles, then straightway proceed to forget about the necessity of keeping in touch with the man who holds your commission in Congress. Then when another candidate conies along, frothing at (he mouth like a mad bull, and tells you how you have been betrayed, you vote him in and the other fel low out-and then get busy, go out and dig potatoes, chop cotton, patch tho barn roof or something else and forget Mr. Number Two. "That practice more than any oth er one factor explains the failure ol' the American farmer to secure ser vice at Hie hands of Congress, (?reutest Force in Hie Land. "You are the might lest force in the land to-day. Up here they are all afraid of you. and with good cause. Collectively you make the power of Roosevelt, or Taft, or Aldrich, or Cannon look like thirty cents. " The thing, to do ls t.> realize that power hy not forget ting your Con gressmen. Another Hiing. We are hero right now for thc purpose of fixing up j things and keeping you posted. We ire going to do that, from time to lime, in the most complete manner. Stenographic minnies of every con ference are being kept, and I rained md faithful mom be rs are lining up md investigating Congressmen, velghiii', promises against perform ince, and burning tho midnight oil a your interest.

Farmer, i Much is heard these days of the tecessity for deep plowing, '?'here ls no question but thal deeper and hel ler plowing is needed if our soils are to be materially improved in fertil ity, bul deep plowng ls an expensive operation, and unless ?lone at the right time may fail lo yield results which will pay for tho grouter ex pense. The lime to do deep plow ing is uiiqueslioiuihly in Ibo fall and winter. There is nure time and other matters are not so pressing. Henee a helter opportunity is given to do the work. Again, when the plowing ls to be done deeper than usual, ii is of the greatest Import ance that tho subsoil be dry. In the fall and early winter the subsoil is usually in ideal condition for break ing. Moreover. If new soil is to be turned up, it should he done in the fall or early winter so that Hie frost and rain may break it up and give ll thal weathering necessary to make live soil out Of it. There is still all ot lier reason why deep plowing should be done in the fall and win ter: If done in Hie spring the land may not have had time to settle Suf ficiently before planting time anl the dry weather which sometimes comes in the spring may so dry Olli the loose soil that there is not sn Un lent moisture left lo sprout the seed.

Th?* steamer City ol' Columbia arrived at the bridge at G.30 o'clock, and the watchman opened the draw for lt to pass, but as train No. 15 was due at 0 o'clock he hastened up the track to place a signal to save the passenger train from dashing Into tho turbid waters of the Congaree. Coming back to close the draw the faithful watchman tell Into the aperture used for oiling the machinery of the big bridge, and when the crew of the train reached the bridge and could lind no trace of him, they closed the draw and crushed the life out of the unconscious man. Later, when a freight train from Columbia arrived, the watchman was found lyng on the foundation under the draw with one arm pinioned un der the ponderous machinery. He was .?vt alive, but consciousness had long since left, and death came In a short while lo put an end to his faithful services, which had extended through a period of more than a quarter of a century. .More people are taking Foley's Kidney Remedy every year.
