postponed until next spring, and in
connection with the spring race meet. .

of people to Aiken, will be held J ^

reported their inability to secure

I GOOD OUTLOOK FOR COTTON
"he Head of South Carolina Farmers'
Union Predicts a 15-Cent Price
For the Crop.
Columbia.?The following statement

if the State Farmers' Union:
To the Farmers of South Carolina:
sever before that I can recall have
re had better prospects of good prices

old for 13 1-2 cents at interior points.
Lll of a sudden "without rhyme or
eason," the market broke and it
:ontinued to go down unitl 10 1-2
:ents was reached in the local marLets.
Not having the desired effect
if stampeding the fanners like it has
n the past, we see it steadily going
ip. Each day the "wise-acres" say it
vill break tomorrow. Each day they

ix or seven points. Each day sees
he report that .Manchester continues
o buy at higher prices than can be
>uid on this side. What does it all
nea 11?
If it means anything it means that
otton is in demand; that organizaion
is telling, or that there is fear of
t; that the farmers, the merchants
:nd the bankers need but to pull together
and we will see 15-cent cotton
or two-thirds of the crop. It also
net;lis that they are working together
nore c'osely than ever before. Marcrt
slowly and the price is ours.
We rejoice in the activity displayed
n organizing chambers of commerce
n the towns and cities of the South.
We rejoice in such boosters' trips as
Richmond, Va., just pulled off and as
Sumter will pull off in a few months.
We rejoice at the hopeful letters from
he various counties of South Carolina
:hat look to thorough organization of
:he Farmers' Union in them. Yes, we
svill organize. When each county has
ts strong Farmers' Union and each
town its aggressive chamber of commerce
all working in harmony, then
tve will see a State Farmers' Union
ind a state chamber of commerce
tiuilding a greater South Carolina.

FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
Short Paragraphs of State News That
Have Been Gotten Together With
Care by the Editor.
Orangeburg.?Charlton W. Sawyer,
of the comptroller general's otfice of
Columbia, was in the city for the purpose
of making a settlement in this
county between the. county auditor
and county treasurer. The books of
this ccuny were all found to be in
proper shape and the officials were
con plin:ented.
St. Matthews.?St. Matthews has
had her tips and downs, as a cotton
market, and there have been seasons
when the farmers felt that they were
not getting their dues, as compared
with neighboring towns. This fall,
however, everybody is happy "bver the
situation and 110 man brings his cotton
here who does not go away feeling
that he has reached the top.
Donalds.?The South Carolina presbytery,
meeting at Donalds, decided
in favor of the removal of Chieora
coliege from Greenville to Lauras,
which has made an offer for the eo!- [
| lege. The vote was is to a. two omer
presbyteries, Piedmont and Pee
Dee, have already acted on this question,
both voting to retain the college
at Greenville.
Gaffney.?The biggest distillery ever
set in Cherokee county was raided recently
by Deputy Sheriffs Watklns and
Lockhart. The raid was made 14
miles from Gaffney, near Kings Creek
Station. The birds had flown; but
over 1,000 gallons of beer was poured
out by the officers. One of the officers
stated that the distillery was
the largest he had ever seen.
Dillon.?The Dillon schools have
had the most auspicious opening in
the history of the schools. The enrollment
is larger and there is excellent
school spirit among both teachers
and pupils. The handsome new
building, which has been in the course
of construction for some time win
soon be ready for occupancy and all
are looking forward to the day when
it shall b: turned over.
Rock Hill.?Cotton continues to
come to town, despite the recent rain.
However, the rain has materially
checked the picking and it is believed
that the crop has been damaged considerably
by the rainfall. In the vicinity
of Rock Hill, however, the rainfall
was not so heavy, but in adjoining
counties the fall was considerable and
it is stated that a good deal of ripe
cotton was beaten from the bolls.
Columbia. ? The South Carolina
Plant Breeder association will be organized
at a meeting of farmers here
in the state library at (5 o'clock on
the afternoon of October 30. The
call for the meeting of the farmers
has been issued by R. J. Watson, commissioner
of agriculture, and J. Swinton
Whaley, M. IOugene Kant and A.
\V. Brabham, well known farmers of
the state.
Aiken.?At the meeting of the Aik
en Municipal club, when preparation?
were made for the primary election
to nominate a mayor and six aldermen,
it was provided that at the election.
which will bo held on the first
Monday in November, a commissioner
of public works shall also be nominated.
This is a n<*w city office to be
created, and its addition will make
the municipal election this year all
the more interesting.

THEIR WEAPON OF DEFENSE
Mysterious Provision of Nature In the
Case of Grasshoppers and
Other Small Insects.
Everyone has been startled, on
seizing a grasshopper, by having the
animal throw off a quantity of "tobacco-Juice"
from his mouth. Many Insects
throw off quantities of Juice In
this manner when they are attacked,
some from the mouth, some from the 1
"Joints" on the abdomen, some from
special points on the head, or other
parts of the body. The Juice thus
ejected is generally some of the insect's
blood, and its sudden discharge
no doubt frequently causes the
captor to loosen his hold, or to drop
the prey altogether. Especially is
this likely in the case of those insects
that emit an- acrid or a poisonous
liquid, as for example the "Spanish
fly" or cantharides beetle. It is not
to be supposed that this discharge is
in any sense a voluntary act on the ]
part of the insect; it is a direct response
to certain kinds of disturbance.
In this respect the action may be
compared to "death-feigning" in insects
and in other animals. In some
insects, in which the juice is discharged
from the soft parts of the
ahdominai segments, the Juice is
thrown off upon suitable stimulation
even after the animal's head has
been removed. This curious behavior
Is not confined to any one family of
insects but has been observed among
several species of the grasshopper 1
family, among ants, wasps and hornets,
in members of the moth and but- |
terfly family, in beetles, in true bugs
and even among certain flies. The
blood does not come to the surface
through wounds caused by the disturbance;
the opening is produced by a
sudden increase in blood pressure, at
points that are especially th'n and
yielding. The first effect of the dis- B
turbanee is to cause certain muscles I
to contract, thus increasing the pres-la
Bure in the blood, leading to the i p
bursting of the special ejection spots.
ROUSSEAU'S VIEWS ON LOVE ?
r
Newly Discovered Letter Written to a '?l
Friend of the Philosopher
Has Been Found.
A remarkable autograph letter of ['
Jean Jacques Rousseau, showing in a
vivid light his views on the subject of ~
love, has Just been made public in
connection with the Rousseau centenary,
and is considered by the critics
to .be-ufLn- Important addition tovonr
knowledge of the great pfflosopher. ^
The letter was written in 1759, the
year in which "Nouvelle Heloise" was (
published, and is addressed to Deleyre,
Comto de Croiseul's secretary, who .
had Just become engaged to be married.
It runs as follows:
"Dear Deleyre: You have made an
idiotic mistake, for if you continue to
love a promise is superfluous, while
if you cease loving it is useless, and
you may cause yourself the greatest
embarrassment. Rut perhaps your
promise has been paid for in spot ^
cash. If so, T have nothing more to '
say. You have signed it with your
blood. That is almost tragic How- ^
ever, I do not know that the ink
wherewith one writes makes any dif- C
ference in the faith of the person who .
signs. I quite see that love makes
children of philosophers, Just as it
does of the rest of us.
"Without being your friend, my
dear Deleyre, I have a friendly feeling
