The average farmer i; probably not aware of the tact that on avoracro for S10 a head more than horses. Such i is the case, and the price has been gradually rising for a number of years. There has never been what would be called an over-production of mules, while the market has often been unable to fully supply the demand. From the large lumber mills comes tho report that lumber has not been so scarce an article in years as it is now, and the in- i dications are that the demand for all grades of first class lumber will be stronger during most of , the months this year than it has been for a long time. There is ; in fact an abnormal demand for iL I The fellow who stops his paper because he becomes offended at some item that does not suit his I fancy, always imagines he is; getting even with the publisher, j but he is never missed. This ; only happens occasionallv, for there are only a few people in any community who imagine a paper should contain nothing but what they approve of. i i Our home merchants take the : farmer's produce. With them | he finds a ready market for his j butter and eggs, his potatoes' aud apples. These department j stores take only his money, j Our home merchants, not for, pront,,, hut for accommodation and to assist the farmers, buy his produce. They sell it in a majority of cases for less than $key pay for it and handle it at a loss, yet some farmers do not appreciate this and take this very :same money and send it to a departmerlt store when they could get better bargains right at home. v?*Phe "bice head" is a popular <vfty 'of expressing a common ! ;dtl'drvery frequent ailment.

The Growing Popularity of Bryan. The growing popularity of William Jennings Bryan is the political talk of the hour. A few years ago Mr. Bryan was regarded as a radical of the radicals. But the lapse of years j seems to ha\e brought breadth and conversation to the Nehras- 1 kan. He has become a conservative. without, apparently losing much or his strength with his original supporters. And it is the conservative wing of the Democratic party which is now i discussing his suitability for the Democratic nomination in 1008. | The greater part of Mr. Bryan's strength has always been in the middle west, and it appears that he has retained the greater part of this while at the same time winning the confidence of the eastern contingent of the party, f It is planned to give him a notable reception upon his return to New York. To Sell Cotton in Balk. President E. L. Archer, of the Spartanburg county branch of the Southern Cotton association, has issued a statement to the farmers that it is the intention this year to sell their cotton in bulk. It has been estimated that there are about 5.000 bales to be j marketed this year in Spartan- j burg county, which will be held in lots varying from 20 to 80! bales. Already President Archer lias received notices from many of the farmers that they intend to place their cotton in the common pool and in that way to sell; through one medium and for a higher price than would be ob-1 tamed in any other way. Powers Ready For Fourth Trial Caleb Powers, former secretary of state of Kentucky, who j is charged with direct complicity in the slaying of Governor Goebel in the state house yard at | Frankfort. January 31, IH00, has been transferred from Newport to the county jail at. Georgetown j to be ready for his fourth trial for murder, which begins in that1 city shortly. Powers Vims twice been -sen tenced to life imprisonment and once condomed to death. In each case the court 01 appeals has granted him a new trial. Powers is in his usual good i spirits, although very pessimistic as to his chance of getting a fair trial in the state courts. He will he tried by a special term of court and by a special judge appointed by tiie governor. Perkins Gets 12 Years. Warren Perkins, colored, who a few weeks ago shot and killed Cindy Cooper, a uegress on the plantation of Mr. Sam Bailes, near Pineville, was on Friday sentenced by Judge Bryan, in the Mecklenburg superior court, to 12 years in the State peniientinvv.' U'lvin 'li'vinrniui in WIMA ^ ? ? ? n\.i i en i -u Ail v "u ; t the negro had no attorney and plead guilty to the charge of murder in the second degre Only three witnesses were introduced by tlie State. Jn the course of the trial it developed i that Perkins had served a sen- : Lence of two years and three months in the South Carolina penitentiary for a crime committed at Greenville, and that he went to North Carolina to dodge another warrant in the hands of the South Carolina authorities. Says Acreage Report wat "Doctored." i Representative Ellerbe 1 as introduced a resolution in congress calling for an investigation of the cotton acreage report issued by the department of agriculture on June 1. Mr. Ellerbe believes the acreage of 28.H8G.000, given out , by the department, exceeds the amount actually planted, and that a gross wrong and injury has been done the cotton growers of the south. Mr. Ellerbe'sresolu-, tion directs the sccietaryof Agriculture t<? furnish to the House at once the tabulated sheet showing the est imate of acreage I made by the seven classes of correspondents, namely, tne field agent, the State agents, the1 county correspondents, the township correspondents and the individual farmers.

This period, when the tillers of South Carolina soil have money to spare, should be signalized by the making of lasting improvements on the farms, says the Greenwood Index. The sagacious manufacturer, at the time when profits are generous, puts his plant in order, strengthens its weak points and adds those little accessories which, though not essential to production, facilitates it. Ti is he does rather than scatter his earnings in increased dividends, so that when the time of stress comes again, as they will come, they may be weathered without curtailing dividends. The same rule contains equal wisdom for the man whose plant produces, cotton, corn, cattle, vegetables, and poultry. Thousands of South Carolinians, who possess "one and two-horse" farms, and larger farms, have at this moment a surplus in the form of ginned cotton, cash or bank deposits. What will they do with it? The temptation to spend it for "Christmas goodies," for luxuries of all descriptions, will he hard to resist. Some with hundreds in pocket will now rush blindly ami deeply into debt in the vague belief that 12-cent cotton has come to stay. The very thrifty will save, just as the de- j lined difficulties and saved when i cotton sold for six cents a pound. Others would save if good investments were at hand. Land is the investment with which ihoy i are most familiar, and which, with rood sense, they ought to prefer, but they will argue the prevailing price makes land purchases a heavy undertaking. What then is the safest the safest, the most natural investment that surest to increase the farm's value and the farm's div- i idends? Land improvement i. the obvious answer. The man j who spends one hundred dollars in replacing the rail fence enclosing his pasture with the best of wire fencing that will endure indefinitely, will have a great advantage over his neighbor, who must patch his fences for a lew years hence, and must borrow money to buy the nails and pay the carpenter. The man who spends a hundred dollars in tiding gullies and redeeming a few acres, which were "washed away" years ago, will be in b tor position than the man who buys many acres ui $30 each and executes iiis bond and mortgage for the greater part of the purchase money. Hard times will / nntn lmn'n on<l vwmv ti^uau un\i j/at> ments will seem hard indeed. In other States and counties the farms have improvements l'ar superior to those of our farms. Stone fences, terra-cot la drain-1 age. strongly-built tenant houses and line barns, not to mention; soils made rich by fertilization, , are the rule, not the exception, i On those the cost of production j is held to a minimum, and the profits never dwindle entirely out of sight. The arable lands in South Carolina have become too valuable lor careless farming. Geld Hill. On account of the nice rail s, the crops of this section are' growing rapidly. Lower Gold Hill was visited by a tremendous rain last Saturday afternoon. !t was the hardest rain that they had witnessed for some time. The farmers are now busy harvesting their grain. We regret very much thai Prof. S. K. lioney will not be with us next term. Our college girls and boys have all returned home. Mr. W in. Crook, a graduate of Trinity College.

An ice cream supper was given to the young people of t his i section at the home of Mr. S. H. Kpps, Sr. It was enjoyed very much by all present. . I Hope Gone For Lawyer Patrick. ^ II Albert T. Patrick, the convicted muideror of Millionaire William Marsh Itice, was on Monday denied a motion for a new trial by Recorder Goff of Now York "City. There is now but one resort in the effort to save Patrick's life and that is an application to Governor Higgim for a commutation of the iVnth . sentence. Patrick has been in the death house in Sing Sing fori more than four years. Tillman's Tribute to Gorman. Senator P>. R. Tillman pays the following' beautiful tribute to the late Senator Gorman, of Maryland: ' Senator Gorman's death has been a great shock to his friends in the senate as it will be everywhere. We knew he was a ! very ill man. but had not expected so sudden and painful a termination. He will be very much missed by his colleagues, and now that be is gone, his enemies and detractors will doubtless be willing to concede j' what all of us who have known him well, have known, thai he 1 was a man of great ability and : tact, and do not hesitate to say ! Lliatsofaras I have been able ' to discover, he was a man of high ideals and in every way worthy of admiration. I take occasion to sa\ that it is my ear- , nest and sincere belief that of i man\ things laid at his door he > was eutirely innocent, and I know that iii dealing with the ' W"ilson-('.ior nan tariff bill in the ' senate in some of the most im- ? poriant schedules he but carried j out in good faith pre-election j pledges, a ?' that he was to be I commenne ! ather than criticised 1 and abuse- .s ho was, for his ' actions in ^ .t matter. It would 1 have heen party perfidy and party dishonor for him to have ; 1 done othei . ise than he did. We i i shall miss him very much in the senate, a id it will be a long time ,! 1 fear be/ore we shall have in '1 > - 11 i: i me sena e a man wen puautWl and ?> willing to discharge! toe 1 e; mobilities of leader- ! ship." Dr. Mack Charged With "Heresy." |' The following from the Allan- !i ta .Journal of Tuesday will be 11 read with interest by the people hereabouts: i Referring to a statement concerning the atonement, made by Dr. J. B. Mack. of College Park, at the conference of the Preshy- ; teriaii ministers Monday morning 1 r. Samuel Young. speaking in a naif humorous vein, accused Dr. .viaeI: of living expression to heretical opinions. "You gave voice to more, heresy during your address than ; i l ave ever heard you utter before " said Dr. Young, addressing Dr. Mack, "and the thing most 11? be condemned is that what you said, you said so we' t'y and softly i.hat it sounded nlnwst like the truth." The discussion grew out of a st.?T.0Mcr.t made by Dr. Mack tt?at seemed to h opposed to the belief of the Presbyterian church, which holds hat Christ's atonement was not mivorsal. but was. restricted- t.iat is that his death upon the cross did not brin?jr salvation to every one. Relics of the Spartanburg Flood. Yhe Spartanburg papers tell of the recovery a few cays aoo of a bale of cotton which was washed away in the Juno tlood of The oale of cotton was taken from the bed of Lawson's Fork ' creek ard was covered wish mod and slime and to all appo.trancos unfit for any use. The b tie was rolled out on a platform w ere it v*:n cut open with long: knives. Aft. r being opened the cotton in the middle of the bale was in perfect condition, snow white, and as pretty as newly ginned colt ?n. The cotton was sold to tiu Spartanburg mattress factory and will bo made into matresses. A bal j of manufactured cloth was also ecovorod from the stream. T..o b.d. of '.loth, hire th * t ttoi was covered with mud or." f ae lo n on the outside was of. m. lut the cloth in the interior of the bale was in good condition. Southern Cotton Mills. ? A recent issue of the Manufacturers' Record presents a revised list of the cotton mills of the South which shows a total of (V42 cotton mill companies and lirms, with 'J. 170,037 spindles and 210,293 looms. This is 4.978,00t? more spindles than in 1900. The invested capital has increased from $112,837,000 in 1900 t<> ij>23O,00U.UOO in 1906. With very tow exceptions all the plants arc reported doing a sucec r-ful husi- 1 ncss. ;. South Carolina has r. safe load in the number of spindles and looms in tne States ot the South. To is State has 13<? cotton mills, 3,32b. 408 spindles and 84,244 looms. North Carolina, which ranks first in the number ol' ; mills, having 243, is a distant i second in spindles and looms, ! having nearly a million less spin- j, dies ;un South Carolina and 33,- i 000 looms less than this State. iliU W* *i llv Tii t 4".
