We are glad to claim Mr. Haynes as one of our adopted sons, having married one of our fairest daughters. Miss Bowers, during his sojourn here as teacher in our graded school. Sin.ce leaving here 7 years! ago, Mr. llaynes lias circumnavigated the globe, going from here to France I and from Home to China through the' Indian Ocean. Mr. and Mrs. Haynes j will spend the summer here with "Mr.! L. S. Bowers'- family and in Leesville ! with Mr. Haynes' mother. 1 lie memorial exercises on Mondav afternoon were listened to and appro-i ciatod by a representative number of people. Opposite the rising young! Americas sat those who were perhaps the 'little boys who boat a drum or carried a gun' in Company G in the unpleasantness of the sixties, I now grown old and greyer than the I grey they wore so nobly. As a lesson to these soldiers and soldiers-to-be were many women who remained behind and bore the heat and burden of the day when "On to Hichmond" was the cry and still others who were proud of the honor of having a father or ? grandfather who followed Haskell and Hampton. The orator of the occasion, Rev. W. IT. Tliller, was introduced n:-..;t happily bv He v. Mr. Ivreps. Mr. Miller spoke wittily and humorously upon men (pratieularly women) and things for a few minutes and then announced his theme "The Battle of Id eas'' So choice, so fitting a subject commanded attention and sympathy at once. He showed how the conflicting ideas of Jefferson, the Democrat, and Alexander Hamilton, the Imperialist, resulted. The real causes of the war were incidentally mentioned, but the past with its glorious memories and it's furled banners and its cause which is not lost were held up as an incentive to great things. Rev. Miller made an eloquent appeal for the South to take the lead in things intellectual, artistic and aesthetic. He recalled what the world owes to southern countries, Greece, Italy, France, et al as over against northern countries. He remarked the material prosperity of our Southland and the result of a similar golden age during Elizabeth's reign when England gave her priceless legacy to the world of letters. The future of America is in our -hands. It is for us to produce paintings, sculpture, and literature that will endure with time. After dwelling at length upon our opportunities, privileges, riches and the full future before the South the oration was closed with reminiscences and expressions of good will toward the north and everything for God and native land. Salesman?here, madam, is a sewing machine with a music box attachment. It has a rcpertorie of airs to suit all styles of so winir. 'Customer?-1 don't understand.

Mr. Kohn Points Out that the Sena- ( tor Was not Quoted as Approving Cleveland. News ami Courier. Columbia, May lii.?111 the inter- s view published in (he Sunday News I Senator Tillman's views on the Cleve- * land phase were quoted a.s follows: "Me thinks Bryan can beat any I other man than Roosevelt in the He- ! publican party, and it the Democrats 1 could get a Cleveland, not Mr. Cleve- 1 land in person, but a man who stood i i lor the same thin*?, and could com- < mand the suuport that Cleveland ( .does, "it would be a shame to take | Hie money" the way such a eandi- ; date would run away with the race i i and hi' elected to the presidency." ] Senator Tillman protests and his , views are now fully and* carefully set ; forth as follows: | "What I did say was that Wall ' , street would welcome one of the old , I plutocrats as the Democratic nominee, 'prelerring io support such a so-called j Democrat than Taft. who will be the | [ Republican nominee, or Hryan, who will be the Democratic nominee, and I that if the Democratic party could ( unite upon one of these Eastern plu, tocrats, which it will, of course, not | do, then Taft would be easily defeat- , i ed.'' J A no time was Senator Tillman ever , quoted by me as saying he personal- , ly favored Mr. Cleveland, lie said if | Cleveland or a Cleveland Democrat were nominated he would be elected, i but that all we would get would be j the offices, as there was no difference in principles between the Cleveland ] Democrats and Republicans. Mr. Till- j man has simply forgotten. If he , will reread the interview and not editorials or comments he will see that the original interview and that published today are identical as far as they ?o?the success of the nomination of a Cleveland Democrat. lie still says that if the party could unite "upon one of these lOastern plutocrats" that party success would be certain. Mr. Tillman never said, nor was he quoted as saying. that he was a Cleveland Democrat. A. K. ORPHAN HOME TO GET DORMITORY. Grand Lodge Was Charmed by the 'Children and Gave (Money for New Building. Columbia, May 13.?'Twentv-four of the children from tho Odd Fellows Orphan Home at Greenville, were brought upon the floor of the Grand Lodge, I. 0. O. F., this morning and as a result of their winning presence the raising of a fund for the erection of a new dormitory at the home went with a whoop. Within tive minutes subscriptions amounting to $1,700 were secured, and District Deputy J. G. Long, of Union, introduced a resolution appropriating $1,500 for the dormitory from the Grand Lodge funds. In regular course this had to be referred to the finance committee by whom, however, it is almost certain to be favorably reported. Telegrams of greeting were sent this afternoon to the Grand Lodges of North Carolina and Virginia, both of which are now in session Deputy Grand Master G. A. Neuffcr, of Abbeville, who is due to be elected Grand Master tomorrow, is detained on account of" illness. A letter of sympathy was dispatched to him I today. Tail Spells Ox. i A lady was one day teaching her | little uirl how lo spell. She used a j pictorial primer and over each word was the accompanying illustration. Polly glibly spelled " o-x, ox," and "h-o-x, box," and the mother thought she was making "very rapid progress," perhaps even too rapid. So she put her hand over the picture and then asked: "Polly, what does o-x spell?" I "Ox," answered Polly nimbly. I "How do von know that it spell 'ox?" j "Seed his tail!" she responded.

Prosidont. B. Harris of tlio Stato Farmers' Union Issues a Ringing Letter to Farmers. President B. Harris of the State Farmers' lTnion has issued the following circular letter as to the cotton situation: If there ever was a time to hold it is now. Cotton has advanced threelourths ol a cent per pound in one week. What is the cause? Is i beanse, trade conditions arc better or a case of neccssilv? Futures cannot he spun and woven into cloth, il they could, cotton would not have made this advance. Do not let a little advance in price influence you to sell. Hold (in till (he minimum Is reached. Remember the col ton broker has sold your cotton to tin* mills; new make him yive the minimum before he .yets il in deliver to Ihe mauuIaelurer. I'liey arc calliny him for cut ton is why il 1::<< advanced. Now boys, freeze l<. it, and the price will yd riyht. The spot cotton is in your hands, and it is yours. The other fellow is beyinniny to want il badly now. Remember I,.">00.000 bale? short, means somcthiny and the short aye is all in your favor. We all know that crop conditions are bad. not only cast of the APississippi, Vml west also. The cotton crop is at least three weeks late and bad stands, and Ihe eohl weather lias caused much replanting. Every day will have fo rv* an ideal day from now until Ihe crop is made for us to duplicate the 1#07 crop. Miss CJiles says Ihe ycueral condition of the crop is l.~> per cent, better Ibis year than last. Remember this is only yness work with her and is a yuess 'hat is far wrony. She yet 5 pay foi this yuessiny. The F.nropean mills now want cot ton and I hey will need 1.000,000 bales more ol American collon this vear than they have been usiuy. The Kyvplian and India crop is 2,000,000 bales snort and they have been yet tiny most of Iha! co| Ion. Iliyli tirade cotton is scarce, not enouuh to til) onl'is thai have been contracted for. lloldiny off Ihe market has been the cause of Ihe rise. Hoys, if you hold. Ihe minimum wlTI come, so do the riyht thiny ;il Ihe riyht time, hold; remember corn is $1.00 cash now, still plenty of lime to plant yd, so raise cnouyh food crops to do you next rrnr. B. 11 ari is.

McClure, a prosperous tanner ol Rock Mills township, was in Ihe cily today and was lelliny of a remarkable farminy experience that he has had. Mr. McClure had a field planted in barley last year. The field was a new yround. full of slumps, and he did not attempt to cut the yrain. Tl fell to the yround duriny the fall, and liiis spriny a new crop of yrain came up. Mr. McClure says it is now bending out, ami thai it is oals instead of barley. He says he planted no oats, and that the field was certainly in barley last year, and lie caunol account for Ihe Iransformat ion into oats ill's year. When we want a man for a difficult task we are not yoiny to hunt for the one who look the prize as the best wnlt/.cr at Ihe picnic. Whenever we sif- a man riyyed nil in lodye reyalia we lauyh lo think what mean lliinys some men say of the dress fads of the women. The man who pays for the "Nferry Widow" hat can not appreciate the .jokes about them. If champnyiic cost but 30 cents a (|iiarl most men who drink it would prefer a yood quality of eider.
