i Hold Your Cotton, Says Harris.
. President Harris, of the South
w Carolina Farmers' Union, has isf
sued an urgent appeal to the
farmers of the State to hold cotton
for better prices. In course
of his remarks, President Harris
has this to say of present crop
conditions:
"As to the condition of the
present cotton crop, the weather
over a large portion of the belt is
bad, and so are prospects. Heavy
rains are reported over Texas,
Oklahoma and Florida, and reports
of deterioration from the
cotton belt still come in from
ever> State, and the world realizes
now that the crop is short.
It will not more chan duplicate
our last crop. There will be no
top crop this year, and cotton is
opening prematurely. I want to
urge our farmers to warehouse
their cotton and get money on it
to settle their indebtedness and
market the crop as the world
needs it. By so doing you can
get your price.
"It will pay the farmers to remember
that corn is now selling
at $1.10 pfcr bushel, bacon from
11 cents to 12 cents per pound,
ham 18 cents to 20? mts a pound.
Real, real farmers arfc purchasers
of the above articles.
Now, brother, don't grumble
when the speculator offers you
8.85 and 9 cents for your cotton.
He knows that you have to pay
for the above articles you have
bought to make this cotton, and
you now have to meet your obligations.
Now, be fair and don't
blame him when he offers you
the present price. Remember
that buying bacon, corn, flour,
molasses, hay, guano, mules and
horses is the cause, I want you
iaj iciucuiuur max mere is no
country where the above articles
can be raised cheaper than here
in South Carolina. The remedy
for 8.7G and 9 cents cotton is
diversification of crops. So let
me suggest that you write 'diversity
crops' this year and tack
it up in the most conspicous place
about your house, so that you
can be reminded of it every day,
and then do it, and you can name
your price for your cotton and secure
it for your whole crop. So
diversify."
San Jose Scale in South Carolina.
The San Jose (San Hozay) scale
is the most pernicious insect pest
of fruit and shade trees in South
Carolina. In some sections the
owners of trees are cutting them
down owing to the presence of
this insect. The Division of Entomology
of the South Carolina
Experiment station has repeatedly
emphasized the fact in the
press that there is no necessity
for cutting down or otherwise
destroying a tree merely because
it is infested with San Jose scale
Un)ea8 the tree is so far gone
that it has not enough vitality
left to recover after the scale is
killed. Although one of the
worst insects in America, it has
been demonstrated over and over
again that the pest can be successfully
and economically controlled.
Fruit growers ail over
the United States who are troubled
with this nest nre pftnfrftllinw
jt by the sprays devised for that
purpose. All citizens of South
Carolina who have trees dying or
who knew that their trees are infested
with the scale, or who
have trees in an unthrifty condition
are invited to write to the
Division of Entomology. S. C.
Experiment Station, Clemson
College, S. C. Information is
cheerfully given and no postage
js required to insure a reply.
McLaurin in Disgrace.
(Charlotte Nowk )
Senator McLaurin's blunt
frankness is at least one point
in his favor?one and the only
one,
In a signed statement the
gentlemen from South Carolina
admits the authenticity of the
Archbold letters; admits he needed
help in his campaign; went to
the place to get it and asked for
it. He attempts to defend his
conduct and expresses pride that
h$ was fortunate enough to come
under the benign and elevating
influence of Standard Oil.
With the majority of citizens,
>yho believe in honesty in elec-r
tions and detest the pernicious
influence of trust bribe funds in
campaigns, McLaurin has lost all
confidence and respect. If Standarc!
Oil pome to him in his distress
there was an aim in view.
That trust is not in the charity
work. It ij? willing to pay for
what it gets, and it wants and
gets results. McLaurin's high
Sounding phrases on the purity
of the motives that led him to
{o go to Standard Oil's sanctu- (
PFy for aid, will scarcely dissi
pate the general feeling of contempt
that a man chosen by the
people was willing to ally himself
with interests that always have
and always will be hostile to thfe
peopled interests.
The example of McLaurin is
another demonstration of the fact
that Standard Oil and its kindred
trust conspirators, are wielding
the most potent influence in the
nation's law-making body. What I
chance have the people for fair !
Imof ' ' 1 J?11
> nvutuivnL, wucii uunun uuuar i
trusts, through such emissaries
as Archbold, are able to invade
our law making counsels and
covertly buy up men like McLaurin,
Foraker and others.
The only hope of the people
lies in Democratic success. It is
under a Republican administai
tion that these alarming conditions
have arisen. It has been
under a Republican administration
that Standard Oil and other
trusts have succeeded in corrupting
United States senators,
and buying laws that were favorable
to their interests.
These conditions will continue
so long as the trust favoring
party remains in power.
Election Law Needs Changing.
There is a rapidly growing sentiment
in this county that the
law governing the primary election
should be so amended as to
provide that none except qualified
j voters shall be allowed to vote in
i the primary?voters who are entitled
under the law to secure
registration certificates and have ,
secured them. It is a well-known
fact that in this State the primary
is really the election, and
that not over one-half of the
voters who vote in the primary i
vote in the general election, and
that literally thousands of men
take an oath at the primary "to
support the nominees" when
they know and everybody knows
that should they be called upon
to support the nominees in the
general election in November
they could not deliver the goods,
' and besides this the constitution
! provides that none but qualified
j voters are eligible for jury duty
and there are scores of men who
I would rpspnt thp ineiniintmn fV??f
. v?iv tiiutiiuuvivii cuat
they are not good citizens who
! escape the possibility of being
j drawn as jurors by failing to rcg|
ister and thus weaken the elfecti
iveness of the courts. Under exj
isting conditions a man can come
j into this county from another
State or county five days before
the primary election, have his
I name enrolled on a club roll and
j have the same right to vote as
the man who has lived in the
State two years, the county one
and the precinct where he votes
sixty days. It would appear that
the matter is worthy of the consideration
of all citizens who
really have the best interests of
the State at heart.?Yorkville

i Graded School Work for September.
(By Snpt. Bankuight.)
Having completed our first
month's work, we are now ready
to make our report. In the first
' place, we have had as pleasant
I month as could be expected, uni
der existing circumstances. The
| teachers find plenty of good material
in the way of bright boys
! and girls to work with. Follow:
ing is the enrollment and average
1 attendance for Sept. 1907 and
. for Sept. 1908: Sept. 1907, enrollment
182, average attendance
j 167.7; Sept. 1908, enrollment 216,
average attendance 206.6.
| It has been decided that those
' pupils whose records in attendj
ance and in deportment are perfect
that their names be placed
! on the honor roll for that month.
The following have won that honI
or for the month of September:
9th grade?Carrie Merritte.
8th?Sam Lee, Myrtle Sutton and
! Nettie Bradford. 4th?Jessie
i Litle. 3rd?Mary McLaughlin.
Every pupil holds a rank in the
class according to the general
average on recitation, deportment,
etc., all taken together.
If your boy or girl is marked on
the report as being 8th or 10th.
1 you will do well to see to it that
he or she studies ruore at home,
for that means that 8 or 10 are
doing1 better than your child. The
following rank first in their class:
10th grade?Leon Massey with
Carey Epps and Rob Grier as
second. 9th-Carrie Merritte
j with Claude Crowder second,
j 8th? Sam Lee, with Julia Boyd
second. 7th Ethel Armstrong,
with Mamie Jack Massey second.
6th ? Leila Hall, with David Gaston
second. 5th--Kathleen Armstrong
and Esther Meacham,
with Mary Armstrong, James
| Gaston, Zenas Grier, Irene Hood,
i Arthur Litle, Margaret Spratt,
Joe Nims, and James Young
second. 4th?Marjorie Mills, with
j Vashti Yarborough second.
Since the pupils have learned
what it means to be nerfect in
deportment we hope to have more
on the honor roll for October.
The children have been very good
in many respects, but so many
i forget and go beyond the bounds
; of good propriety and thereby
lose.
I ?The open season for dove
shooting is now on, and for some
time past sportsmen throughout
the county have invaded the
wood and field in search of this
game.
An Approaching Marriage.

Reid Wolfe, a popular young ,
couple of Fort Mill. The marriage

7.30 o'clock at the home of Mr.
W. D. Wolfe in Sprattville.
Mr. Carothers is the proprietor
of the Acme Barber Shop
and is a young man who is held
in high esteem by all who know
him.
Miss Wolfe, a daughter of the
late Capt. M. M. Wolf, is a charming
young woman of fine charac-!
ter and pleasing personality and i
is deservedly popular in this section.
The marriage of these young
people will be witnessed by a j
large number of relatives and.
friends. !

the matter merely as a joke and 1
