We note from the correspon dent of the News & Courier in last Friday's issue that at Ker shaw in Lancaster county, the farmers are receiving 40 cents per bushel for cotton seed. Why this price should be paid at Ker shaw we cannot understand, there is no oil mill at that point, but there are a number of agents competing for the seed to ship to their respective mills. Within this territory of the seven mill association. the price for seed is 24 cents, the same being paid by each mill in the association, but we suppose the farmer is to be given the benefit of the reduced price paid, when he goes to buy his meal. The seven-mill-as sociation will no doubt sell the meal at nearly one half less, than the mills which paid nearly twice as much for seed. We shall wait and see. Perhaps af ter the farmer gets hit real halr he will discover that something s- wrong and a remedy must be found. There is but one way to hold off the cotton oil trust to keep it from eventually bringing dis aster to our farming interests, and that way is, for the farmer to keep his seed. The land-lord should make it a stipulation in his rent contracts,that the tenant must put his seed back into the ground. A prominent farmer of our acquaintance says: "I would not sell my cotton seed at any price, but will buy all I can get, I own stock in an oil mill, be cause it is profitable, but the man who sells his seed, will buy corn, the man who buys corn, will mortgage his home, and the man who mortgages his home, will sooner or later be walking the road." There is much to ponder over in the conclusions of this man. He speaks words of wisdom, and we would be the last to say a word against any institution making money, be cause we want all the enterpris es we can get, but when there comes one upon us a creature with attractive plumage, and glittering bill, and we see that it -is a menace to our people, we but perform an honest duty to give them our sincere views and warn them of the danger. In our opinion no greater curse has ever come to our farmers than the in troduction of these oil mills;they induce the farmer to sell the very life-blood of his lands, and with certificates from hired chemists, they would try to make the farmer believe that cotton seed meal is the very thing, and, that the seed put into the ground is a waste. These paid scien tists say there is no fertilizing property in the oil, we do not believe them, because, from per sonal observation we have seen the effects of the oil. Take a pile of cotton seed and let it stand for some time, then scatter them over the field, the spot where the pile stood will be no ticed for several years, why is this? Because the oil is absorb ed into the ground, and it is the oil which enriched that spot. In our opinion, meal is a tempor ary plant stimulant; its effect is upon the plant,is like the effect of morphine upon the human system; a certain quantity will exhilarate, an over dose will stupify. Cotton seed meal in certain quantities will exhilarate the plant, too much will stunt it, and as the plant is pushed the land is weakened because there is nothing given it, to sustain its strength. This is the view of one who is not a farmer, or a chemist, but who believes he has sense enough to think for himself, according to others the same privilege. We believe it harmful to every interest for cotton seed to be sold, and until convinced to the contrary we will continue to so believe, and we will keep on preaching this doctrine, hoping to have some infiuence in arresting the evil. Some of our best friends have money invested in these institu tions, and are vei-y much delight ed with the 60 and 80 per cent dividends on the stock; if we were not sincerely convinced that these enormous profits are the beginnmng of a coming ruin, if not checked, we would rejoice with our friends in their fast ac cumulating wealth, but they are killing the goose that laid the golden egg, and the cup of joy from which they are now so hilariously drinking, will turn to worm-wood and gall and they will be forced to drink to the dregs from a cup of ruin. The farmer in this country is the country's hope, its prop, and its stay, put obstacles in his way, and the progress of the country is hindered, discourage him, and the prop is jarred, cripple him, by robbing him of his honest toil, and the stay is removed and a crash will result. We agree with Russell Sage the aged financier who says: "Th combinations of all great industries will inevitably result in one of the greatest financial crashes ever seen in the United States and that, too, at no very distant period." He further says "Combinations of all great industries are a menace to the government. Such combinations are not only a menace but are the oppressors of the people." Russell Sage is a multi-million aire and notorious for his stingi ness, about 80'years old, and re garded the keenest financial mind in this country. He sees the dire consequences of this mad race for wealth, and says so. It is a simple proposition; if by these combinations, or as sociations, wealth is to be con centrated into the hands of a few, does it not follow that this wealth must be made out of the many? Then who are the many, if not the farmers? The men with money are organizing their wealth every day, not abroad alone, but at our very doors. The organizers at home tell us they are associating themselves together to keep us from being robbed by the Yankee, but most of us see no difference in the practical effect of being robbed by a Yankee or one of our own people. The only way to solve the problem is counter organi zation-the farmer must organ ize, and stand by his pledges. He must make up his mind to resist the encroachments of the associations of wealth, or fall down before the great Jugger naut and be crushed. There should be meetings in every townships, and every farmer should attend them, sign an iron clad oath that he will not sell his seed nor rent land to a tenant who will sell his seed. If this is done, the , associations of cotton seed Al. mills will come to a stand still, and the farmer will be relieved of one of the evils which is sapping the life from .,his land, and the results of his toil. It is not to our financial inter ests to write these articles, they have cost us many, many dol lars already, and will probably cost us more, but time will con firm all we have ever written, and the people will realize it. As long as we profess to edit a county newspaper do we expect to be a sentiment-moulder, and to do so, we must speak out truthfully without fear or favor. This paper will sound the warn ings of danger, whenever we believe the people are endanger ed. If by reason of our standing by the people looking after their interests., some of the business elements will not patronize us with their advertising, sooner or later the people will discover it, and they too, will only patronize those who are willing to sustain the paper which has proven itself the people's friend.

Governor-elect Heyward has started out in his official career, by showing excellent wisdom in the appointment of his private secretary. Mr. J. E. Norment, the gentleman to whom this hun or has been tendered, we have known all of his life. He is first of all a gentleman. He is a man of fine ability, and in our opin ion especially fitted to be the confidential aid to a statesman,1 whose aspirations are to build up his country and to govern his people with an even hand. Mr. Norment's selection for this very important position is not only a recognition of merit, but it is also a strong indication that Governor Heyward is a man] with good judgment. We con gratulate Mr. Normenti for the honor conferred upon him and ongratulate Governor Heyward1 in being so fortunate to secure the services of a gentleman so well qualified. A Certain Cure for Dysentery and Diarrhoea. "Some years ago I was one of a party] that intended making a long bicycle 1 trip," says F. L. Taylor, of New Alba-3 ny, Bradford County, Pa. "I was taken uddenly with diarrhoea, and was about to give up the trip, when editor Ward, of the Laceyville Messenger, suggested that I take a dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1 I purchased a bottle and took two doses, one before starting anid one on the route. I made the trip successfully 1 nd never felt any ill effect. Again< est summer I was almost completely run down with an attack of dysentery I bought a bottle of this same remedy and this time one dose cured me." Sold I by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac i M. Torea Prop. The nomination of D. Clinch Heyward for Governor of South Carolina is proof conclusive that factionalism is a thing of the past, so far as the people are concerned, and really it only ex ists with a few unscrupulous politicians whose existence de pends upon strife and bitterness, hypocrisy and foul methods. We supported Captain Heyward because we knew him to be a gentleman, fully qualified for the exalted position, and when some in this county tried to poison the minds of voters against him by circulating a contemptible falsehood, that he voted for Has kell, weltook it upon ourself to secure the services of a man at our own expense and run the lie down. We are truly glad Hey ward is elected. and in order that he may not be deceived we propose putting him in possess ion of the information, that he may know the crew who were doing their utmost to stab him in the back with falsehood. We do this for his own protection, lest this gang make it appear to him they were his friends. Those who opposed him fairly we have no complaint to make against, but those who tried to defeat him with slander must not offer before him, because he will have them spotted and the information will come from us backed with proof. This is given out as an open notice, that hypocrites must not apply. Cures Blood Poison, cancers, Ulcers, Ec zema, Etc. Treatment Free.

Notwithstanding the frauds unearthed in Charleston. in the first primary, the second primary in that city was rotten with fraud; men went from precinct to pre einct and voted numbers of times, - fictictious names w'ere used, and in some instances the names of real voters were used by vsters and the real voter was re fused the privilege of-voting be 3ause his name was checked off by some repeater voting his name ahead of him. It is to be hoped that the State convention at its next meeting, which will be two years hence, will at least take some step towards putting a stop to such flagrant fraud. Unless it is done, the primary system will become so that an honest man cannot afford to go into it, and the country will be turned over to the corruptionists and boodlers. When that is the ase, the stealing in the days of radicalism will not compare to what will be done then, because. if men buy themselves into posi tion the money spent must come back to them with heavy profit, a.nd the people will be the suf terers. The methods employed in Charleston alone is sufficient da ba for the people throughout the State to take a hand, in driving >ut of the party every chance for the rottenness to be repeated. Charleston was not the only ounty where flagrant fraud was perpetrated, but the methods here was exposed by the county xecutive committee, and a citi ens meeting.

As there is a great deal being said ~oncerning an article that appeared in LHE MANNING TIMES of Sept. 3, con ~erning a statement that Mr. G. T. orsham had made to me. In justice o myself I think it my duty to let the ublic know just what did occur be ween myself and Mr. Worsham. On the night of August 28, 1902, I net Mr. Worsham on the road and he old me the negroes were working for ppelt, and that Appelt had introduced Sbill in the Senate to givc the negroes he right to vote in the municipal elec ion, and that the bill had always been cept smuggled and had never been rinted, but Hon. M. C. Galluchat told iim that he had a copy of the bill that could see for myself, and that it had aken the State Librarian two days to nd it, but she found it. Mr.Worsham said it was very strange ,hat four years ago Capt. Thomas Wil on was fighting Appelt, and just as oon as Appelt went to the Senate Cap ain Wilson made him a present of a rold watch, and then said to me, you nay know that that meant something. Nhat Mr. Worsham wanted me to be ieve was, that Appelt had gone to the epublican party and was working for he negroes, and that he sold his vote n the Senate to Captain Wilson for a rold watch. Mr. Worsham did not say Eo, but anybody with sense enough to ret in doors when it rains would know ust what he meant. M~r. Worsham said that there was >eing whiskey used at the New Town recinct on election day, and that he 'Tould not say that Appelt had it there, >ut he did believe that Thomas Wilson tid have it there for Appelt's crowd. I have no ill-will for Mr. Worsham mnd am not unfriendly to him, but when t comes to my word and the truth, I nust and will~ protect it regardless of he feelings of any man without fear or or -.T E SMILEY. Salem Aroused. The Citizens of the New Zion section held a mass meeting last Saturday at the A. 0. Hudson place, Mr. W. D. Gamble was made chairman, and Mr. Roland secretary. A committee of twelve was appointed to investigzateand obtain evidence upon which to base a warrant of arrest for the party or par ties implicated in the burning of Mr. A. O. Hudson's house. The people of that section are very much wrought up over the affair and strong suspicion points to a certain individual, but just what evidence can be procured is not known. It is probable that an arrest will be made in a few days. We have been unable to learn the cause of Mr. Hudson's troubles, but it is evident that he has a secret enemy who is de termined he shall not live in the com munity, and it does seem to us, the people of New Zion, who we know to be a brave and honorable people, will not stop until they run down the perpetra tor of this crime. It is a reflection upon the good name of the community to have lurking about a fiend whose hatred for a fellow man is so intense that he must resort to the hellish and cowardly tactics of an incendiary. We 1 are opposed to lynch law and would do all in our power to prevent it, but if lynch law is ever excusable it is for the lynching of a scoundrel who fires another's house. People of New Zion run down this fiend, if necessary employ detectives, call -upon the governor to offer a re ward. Offer a reward yourself, and this newspaper will contribute towards the fund. No fire fiend should be al lowed to breath the same atmosphere with honest people. A Communication. Mr. Editor-Allow me to speak a few 1 words in favor of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Our Market in Danger. c Duty to our readers and our patrons t generally whether they be merchants or farmers, compells us to keep a close watch on our market, and see to it that t it does not go backward without our letting the people know it. The people know the market fluctuates, but they also know that no matter how the fluctuation goes, it does not change the relative market value. The difference between this market and Sumter, s owing to freight rates is as we have heretofore said about ;, and our far mers are willing to concede it, but I when it comes to a matter of t to i they are not willing to submit and as a result the cotton is carried on to s Sumter. When this market opened, the buy ers pushed the market to the top notch, and there was no complaint, we were so pleased with the disposition to treat the farmer justly that we urged our readers to bring their cotton here, and we want to continue urging our far- j mers to bring their product to this market, but unless there is something done on the part of our merchants to force the buyers to pay full value for - the cotton, as a matter of honest duty to our readers we will not advise them to come here. Here *is an incident, related to us by a farmer, if correct, is very damaging to our market. He told us that he asked a buyer for the price of cotton, and the buyer said "my limit is 8* and it is the very best I can give you," a little later he heard the buyer talking on the telephone to an outof-town merchant, and the buyer said "my limit is 3-16." This farmer said "now to me a farmer, his limit was 8, and to a merchant it was 8 3-16, this. is not fair nor is it honest, and I shall take my cotton to Sumter where the buyers and merchants do not stand in with one another". The farmer re ferred to, is a man who runs a ginnery and is in position to advise a good many t people, and to do us much injury. Cannot our business men see how throat-cutting this is to their interests? [t is indeed painful to us to have to make an exposure like this, but we do ~ it because we believe the only way to correct an evil, is to expose it, and we propose keeping up this kind of a fight t if every business house in the town feels ffended at us. It was through agitation in these col umns and our personal appeals that we induced one gentleman to enter the cot on market, that party created an activity from the start, and whenever die is in the market we hear no com plaints, but just as soon as he is away >r out, there seems to be a drag. The farmers do not like the custom f buyers not buying direct from them, nd they are not to be fooled, they i know full well the buyers will not bid is high as the merchant, and the mer 3hant buys, then at the close of the ay the buyer gives the merchant he full market and takes the cotton. g o town can ever hope to build a mar- a ~et on such 2ines, it is enough profit ~ or the merchant to collect for the ~oods he sold in the summer at lien rices, he should be satisfied with that, nd not be so gluttonous, to want to a nake a profit out of the cotton too. - ti Take Care of the Stomach. a The man or woman whose digestion a is perfect and whose stomach performs c its every function is never sick.
