FKBKIURY 25, 1905. - -P ??^ Results of the Farmers' Movement. The following signed Matepiunt li is keen issued by C. H. Jenkins, of llip executive committee of the Southern Cotton (growers' Ahsoeirtion: Bipcje the first call whs issued ior the farmers to wrgapize f-?r the ' urp.oge of securing twenty five p-r cent reduction of ncrenge ami . rtilizer, cotton has advanced S'J >0 per lmle. Upon the basis of 1 000 000 hnh's hehig hti.l in the hatnis of ihe pi d nee IB, this means a pain of $10,0JO,,000 to the cotton groweis of the South. If the farmers and Ims;pee3 men .of the South will slapil by the p rop.ru n.

Tne present crop cannot be neld economically without ware houses; therefore, my advice is to build warehouses and do it now. fael the funneib and business tuen of every county get together at nice and raise the neces.-uiy fund to b^i'ld n .warehouse. ? After the Postlnasters, Profits A new plan for making out the reports of stamped envelope sales ,hy postmasters has been evolved ju tlifi office of the tlbrd assistant .postmaster general, which, acording to tlie Washington Star. it is a iid will bring into the c. ffors of ' lie government un extra $100,000 a year The governm ent sells stamped envelopes to the postmaster at "521.12 a thousand for tlio 2c valii"s. If sold in lots cf 1.000 the .postmaster does not timUe anything on them, but if lie sell* theui singly tliey bring3c each, $30 a thousand. This leaves a libei al margin of profit f?>r the postmaster which wiih iiever intended by the government. He auhmitK Ium report, if stamp d envelopes are sold singly, at ihe rate of $21.12 per thonannd. and has been in the habitot pocketing the difference. Prohibition In Gaffney and Charlotte. GntTney haa had two months of prohibition. Conditions now are Bo much better than they were before the dispensary was voted out that it would fie hard to muster a corporal's guard to vote it back, nays a special to the Nt ws and Courier. The people are in better circumstances and are ready for work. Fines in the police court have been reduced 75 per cent and tinos for disorderly conduct arc almost a thiug of the past. The few tinea imposed are for soiling whiskey Hiia transporting ag iual the law. Th a re whs a great talk of blind tigers before the election, but mere is not me evidence ot these visionless animals now that there nh before tho election. Those who talked timers were not countig; on Mayor Gnffney nod Chief Ijockhart and their able HK-uslante. A ti^er neee not come from under rover unless he wants to be hunted flown. Prohibition is proving a most <. ratifying success in Charlotte, cording; to The N -ws. This iH lot only the opinion of prohibitionists, but of many who were ppoued to the law. The police cords for the month of January hows 75 can. s before the record?r, as compared with Kid cases for he same month last vear. the He. __ -- J - ? "w ? rease of over per cent. And who can estimate the dollars thnt have been put into food, clothing, oid the comforts of life that have nitherto been squandered on whiskey. Many grocery men report an increase of from '^o to 100 per cent in their pash tsade. Prohibition is the best of the many good things Charlotte has. Whenever a |iiai| offers for an tXeviHo for wrongdoing that lie is a v'ctim of enyironuient, it is genet ly safe to guess that he chose vh? e^viroume^t. County Cotton Cp* iyeption.

Feb. 20.?We have just finished the happiest week's j work in the history of this school , ?not in the class-room, or on the j cainpus. but in the salvation of | our 'souls. The boys, with the In Ip of h noble teacher, have just, finished a revival, which met with | groat success in the future destiny 1 of our souls. The Sunday before I this meeting the Y. M. C. A. met ' with six members and the follow* ;ug Sunday we met and reorganj ized with thirty-two active mem1 tiers, we havn't an associate member tint every one is taking an active part in the association. As a body of young men we are not ashame to accept Christ as our j : savior and to tell the story to; 1 others. We are looking forward to u 1 good base ball teHin, composed of j christian young men which is so J Meldnii! known of.

Governor Heyward was busy all the morning signing the various bills and acts passed by the generaseembly, and so far as is known none of them have met with his disapproval so far as to warrant j his veto. A mistake has been din- ' , covered, however which is nothing ! out of the ordinary when the hurry 1 and rush of the last days of the ! session are considered. An act ! creating the office of town com| miasiouer of Barnwell was passed, ' and later a duplicate was introduced and ratified, both of thetn I becomming laws. One provided ' for the election ot the commission i or and the other for the appointj inent of the commissioner by the I governor. It will be neccessary I for the governor to take the matter J up with the delegation.?Columbia Record, Monday. * idianoB ior mo uiris. The daughters of well-to-do [ farmers do not have full work, I They cannot do oidinnry farm work with their fathers and brothers Those living in the cotton sections may pick cotton a few ' weeks, but they are not fully employed the balance of the year Why not turn over the poultry to the girls? It is a pleasant and interesting business. Let the girls charge the family with all the eggs and fowls used at home and keep I an account of sales. In this way the father will get a valuable les- j Hon as to the value of poultry as' i well as girls. Hear in mind that two dozen turkeys averaging 12 pounds eoch aie worth as much now as a bale of cotton. Another : suitable business for girls is raising bnes and honey. That is light I work and is quite remunerative in honey years. A girl might have | j charge of the milk and butter. That would be an excellent train i ing for girls and would be worth 1 much to them when settled in ! homes of llieir own. It in r great step forwHrd to know how to do ! things that have to he done in ; every family. Give the girls the I best chance possible. | The ten circuit law is taking shape. R. W.

I OLD HICKORY CHIPS. $ The State of Texas doesn't have a great tuutiy yvoes, but of late has been visited with a nair of twins of tliiri character. She is suffering from h blizzard and an attack pf itockofclleriam. The reform ministers of Philadelphia assert that they have discovered a vice trust in that city. They are probably convinced now that they can find alm< st any kind of trust there except "trust in God." It is said thaT^ohann Hoch is loosing his nerve. He will soon have nothing left but his charming beauty. The whole nation joins Indiana in mourning the den.ise of one of her most distinguished sons. Gen. Lew Wallace, the famoqs author of Ben Hur.

The railroads have an unfailing confidence in the "block system" of tin- Senate. The editors of the Congressional Record are confronted with the necessity of issuing a Sunday supplement if the report on tho pension bill is to be published. A Georgia editor is surprised to learn that Gen. Miles did not possess tact enough to refrain from discussing the JetF Davis incident. There are two things that Miles must indulge in?talk and having his picture taken. "W President Rosevelt is going to spend a few weeks hunting down in Texas as soon as he is inaugurated. lie should stop oiT in Mississippi and shoot a few of Gov. Vardaman's bears in order to jolly the governor nlong. While Senator Overmnn of North Carolina agrees with Mr. Bryan that Mr. Roosevelt in stealing Democratic thunder, he wan la it understood that the President is hinis<df responsible for his views on the negro question. Speaker Cannon has unfortunately put himself in the way of admitting the territories. We didn't think the Speaker was so mean as to pull them off the water wa^iiu Htid drive them to the trough. Etchings From Pineville. Cold, rough and wet weather is the cry in Pineville. It has been said by some of the older ones that the recent spell of had weather wes the roughest we have had in ten years. The farmers are doubtless getting a little uneasy, as it is now the last of February and little or 110 work done. I suspect our Gold TTill friend (Mr. Splinter) is having a nice time these days sitting in the corner, smoking bis clay pipe, and watching the rain, hail, sleet and snow. Our people would like to hear from him once in awhile as to his opinion of the weather and the low price of cotton. ijnite a large crowd or young people attendod a party Friday evening at the home of Mr. Z. T. Hail. a. All report a very nice time. Chief of Police Culp is seriously ill at his home of la grippe. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery. Owing to the scarcity of hands and sickness in.the village of the Dover Mill, nil night work has be? n suspended during the past ten days.

Take a spoonful every hour. For a child, smaller doses according to age.
