Caldwell of Newberry, entitled "The Strang er.'' It is publishled by the Neak Publishing Company, New York and Washington, postpaid, $1.50. It is i story of the reconstruction. Mr Caldwell is the author of a most ex cellent ristory of McGowan's Brigade, and is a careful and painstaking writ. er. While we have not seen his new book we are satisfied that it will givo a true and vivid picture of the recon str-tietiin, and the story w%ill be told in a clear and vigorous style, which is charaeteristic of Mr. Caldwell. We (uote from the prospectus: "It is i st.rong, a compelling book. and an honest one. Mr. Caldwell is a Southern man, and knows the con ditions of which be writes. le was an officer on the fi'hting line of Lee's army, and was siihsequiently a pro min"nt figure inl one of the socalled Ku-Klux counties of the South. He has for vears been in the front rank of the legal profession in his native State, South Carolina. and is recognir ed as one of her best scholars. le ''extennates nothuinu,, nor sets down aught. in malice.'' The Yankee schoolnimarm suffered ostracism. mis construction. (alluyllv. and so it is written. She met with forbearance. kindness, loyalty, and so it is written. She had to bear with ignorance, pre judice, carelessnessi.elect and dis ease, she found stirength ond consola tion in the friendship of a sweet and generous woman. purity, peace and culture in Margaret Mason's home. As it was, so it is written. ''Mr. Caldwell has a clear-cut style. and he analyzes like a scientist. He is skilful, keen, thorough, frank, un faltering. The Reconstruction period has received no more intelligent and forcible exposition." 10 Cents for Cotton.

There is no rea son why tihe farmers should4 not ie. Ceive at least 10 cents for their cot ton this fall, except that they just re. fuse to stand together and demand it. To the Cotton Growers of South Car olina: We bog to say that we are receiving daily communications stating the con. dition of the cotton crop throughout the cotton belt. We have just receiv ed letter- from Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina. Lolisiana, Alabama and Arkansas. state in some instancesthat the crop will even be .horter than last year. and. taken as a whole, will not be more than an av erage Crop,1 this year. rherefoi we estly Appeal to the cotton growers to hiol(d their cotton for ten cents: we cannot afford to make it for less. If we can iet concerted action of the farmers thirtiuglhout the eotton belt for thirty days. cotton will go to twelve anal a half cents. A..e you willinlg to do your part and not depend on the other fellow ?i Doany o your otton for less than ten cents. Use all the in flhence von have to preveit others sellin for less than ten cents. Every hale that is sold for less than ten cents is used as a clnh with which to heat down the price of the nn sold cotton. We trist and believe that the South Carolinians will stand by the ten cents proposition. After careful review and study of the cotton situation, we are convine ed that we are today in a better posi tion to control the price of cotton than we were a year ao. To do this we must. ho~w r", have the cooperation o'f tle people of the South. Very respect fuly. F. 1. Hyatt, Treasurer. Francis 11. Weston, See. Death of Reuben S. Davidson.
