Intelligencer. Fublished every Wednesday. J. F. CruxKflCALEe, i* EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, S PROPRIETORS. UJbliMS; ONE YEAR, - - - - $1 50 SIX MONTHS, - - - 75 WEDNESDAY. Al'G. 2, 1905. President Roosevelt han instructed bis assistants to "uncover all cul prits." The directions are broad enough, but the example of white wash is more tempting. Mississippi proposes to convert all of her cut-over pine timberlands into orchards, and bas arranged, foi this purpose, to bring many fruit farmerH down there from Michigan. The South is thc land of promise. . - - .m . 1? - We see it stated that two Iowa men settled a land line di?pute the other day by shaking dice. This is an im provement over the usual western method of settling land line disputes by using guns. While there are prostrations and deaths from heat all over the northern portion of the country, both in cities and in the rural district?, tho South ern section of the country is com paratively comfortable. You don't hear of any one dying from heat in th ip neck of the woods. The Department of Agriculture has issued a revised estimate on the acre age of ootton this year. The acreage, according to the revised estimate, shows a decrease of 14.9 per cent, as compared with last year. The gov ernment's guess is still four points be low that of the Southern Cotton As sociation. Possibly the new board of statistics decided it would just split the difference- between the depart ment's crooked figures and thc esti mates of Mr. llarvic Jordan's asso ciation. Dr. P. D. Pollock, who bad been in ill health for some time, died at Mon roe, Ga., on July 24. He had been president of Mercer University for several years, but had recently re signed his position on account of fail ing health. For years be had been at the head of thc Baptist Federation of Schools, and was a leader along edu cational lines in the denomination. He is universally beloved by the stu dents of Mercer, as well as by the ministers and laymen of the Baptist Churoh, and hosts of friends through out the South. In a recent issue the News and Courier, through correspondents in the several counties of the State, pub lished a summary of dispensary con ditions in the ??tate as compiled from their statements. The review is of considerable interest and has its value in showing to what extent the move ment against the dispensary bas taken. In eighteenoounties it is stated there is an active agitation against the dispen sary, and all of them will probably vote it out. In the otber fourteen counties there is cow no agitation, but it is thought there will bo in the majority of them in another year. A cablegram received recently by the State Department in Washington from Shanghai, China, says that the boycott on American goods commen ced on July 19. The State Depart ment has been informed that tho boy cott was organized by the trade guilds in the five ports, Shanghai, Canton, Tientsin, Hankow and Ninohwang. It is believed that the boyoott will not be successful or very harmful to American goods, except in Shanghai and Canton, where the guilds are par ticularly strong. The United States government oan take no official aotion so long as it remains a simple refusal to purchase American goods, but it in thought that the Chinese government will discourage the boyoott as far as possible. ? - - . -' Co the 3rd page of the Intelligen cer this week we publish a letter re cently received by .Gol. B. F. Crayton from Senator T. B. Butler, of Chero kee ?oynty, which, should be read carefully by every citizen of tho coun ty. In referring to the letter the Gaffney Ledger, wbich is published at the county site of Cl.erokee, sty*: "We want to commend Senator But ler's letter to Col. B. F, Crayton, of Anderson, as published in another column. It's about the best thing the Senator ever did. - It is a truthful statement of affairs, coming, as we believe, from a man who inclined to ward the dispensary, but who, seeing the good results aoorning from voting it out, is willing tbat those results be made known to others that they may profit from our experience. . Again we eay, bravo, Senator!" Hot weather hints are now in order, and we would suggest that whatever you do on a hot day, don't consult tho thermometer. As soon as you have seen the readings'of one your blood will boil exactly as if you had tried to /oool off by sitting oo tho gates of hades ' and swinging your legs over tho Pit. Try to keep your mind sweet and pure aud calm. If you've done any evil in , your life, forget jt; If you've ?ope any good, remember it. If tbe bal ance is altogether against you, resolve that in future the good shall ha\e the bigger account on life's ledger. And then smile in the cooling breeze creat ed by turning over a new leaf. Don't worry. Care killed a cat, aud catH can revel in weather so hot that a hu mau being feels tempted to follow Sidney Smith's advice and literally hhed his fiesh and sit in his bones. Defer your worrying until the autum nal days-and then the air is so brac ing and the prospect so pleasing that you couldn't worry if you tried. Above all, don't talk about the weather. Thia prcHcut discourec isn't talking about the weather; it'o warning you against weather. Besides, it's un grateful to be abusing tho weather now, when but a little while ago we were singing "In the Good Old Sum mer Time," and longing for it. He consintent. Cool-blooded people arc always consistent, and maybe it's the consistency that keeps their blood cool. Remember these things-and then forget the heat-aud comfort may descend upon you like a benedic tion.
