Why Is it the United MtHt?*H Ih too weak to demand our rights from England, when at the same time you preen associates con- ! splcuously publish t tut t the United States wilt not put up with any more of (lermany's submarine manner of naval IIkIiUii^V If the lulled States ran demand lni|?erious)y of OtMAlY about mu-Ii ami such little Insignificant IHtiutH, which nation (tSermany ) seems beyond a reasonable doubt ready to Tight the entire world ; and moreover fboM gallant soldiers score victories over the English, French ami Russians tliat we farmers lire glad td read about. Why U M iimi un ? ?< ??? ?# * ?y?t do tile same by < ? r?*a t Hiit ti In, a na tion that we have been aimoHt entire ly supiiortlhg with ammunition since the war COHlWOUeed, mill which WAM defeated tube I >v Us when we ?nv Were striplings? Then If we are not ahle or powerfully prepared 'to do either lets not snort and spit into one another'* faces as to what the United Stales Ih irolne to do veltl? Regardless of these assumptions it is impossible for me to Itelieve lliat the I 'idled stales could llOt g?'l the concessions from <Jreat lirttaiii to lei the shipment of onr cotton alone. Kea son tells you and 1 that (treat Hrltaln or any other nation would permit the shipment of OUT cotton to the destined harbors, if the President of the, United Slates would only screw up his nerve to tell England that we would cut off the exportation of ammunition, war supplies and food stuffs from her ports, or imperiously demand of England that we are not willing to put Up with such treatment she has been giving us any longer ; and then you would see that England would u. thousand times rather let our cotton alone, than to have the 1 idled States as her lighting enemy, which would beyond ?piestion mean an Immediate defeat for Eng land, France and Russia. Must we stealthily fold our tails between our legs and timidly trot alone fearing to ask England for our rights, Just 'be cause she lias a larger licet? Where would thirty-nine fortieth of French people be todu.v, if they bad played such a submissive trick In lJfclB .when one fortieth of the men controlled the entire government and hud all the power In their hands? Have we not made war on England before, when we were numbers of times weaker pro portionately then than we are todtfy? Did we not beat them too for ?ome thlng similar? Wliut would have been the outcome of the people In the sev enteen seventies and eighties, and 1812 if our people had waited for our fleet to become powerful enough to cope in . size with the English fleet before Ueuntiullng their rights? 1 think that the mere Idea of the press endeavoring to poke such ah' excuse Into the heads of thinking people is too nbsurb and unnecessary to consider.

Isthmus, , weekly shipments having varied from 150 to 500 barrels. | Despite the tropical ^weather, the Vir ginia apples reached Panama In ex cellent condition apd gave such entire satisfaction to consumers that grow ers hnve been assured another per manent export market This new mar ket was particularly valuable to the Virginia growers, coming in a year when prices were relatively lower on account of interference with the usual exports to Europe, and market agent of Southern Railway has received fi" number of letters expressing apprecia tion of tli'ls practical aid extended to ) growers., Caught in His Own Trick.

Mr. Dultant be ing quite shrewd himself, gavo him an order to Dr. Cole, whose office is In the same building, and told him to pull the fellow's tooth. Of course, the pleasure was all Dr. Cole's, -aadj he did the job up right. When the sharper found that he wasn't to get the cash, he decided the tooth had quit hurting, but rather than be caught up with, he submitted to the ordeal, and he is now minus a good tooth an no money to show for his folly. ?

All who desire to purchase seed can net in touch with these farmers hy writing to the Exten sion Division of Clcmson College. They should not delay nl>oiit buying lug the burr clover seed, however. The demand from outside Is strong and the college has received many Inquir ies from Alnhamn, Mississippi and Georgia. One Hot it h Carolina farmer Ih now planning to ship u carload of hurr clover to Alabama. . Farmers are not advised to delay purchasing in the hope that prices will lie lower later In the season. The de mand Is so strong that It. is not prob able that prices will be lower than at present. The strongest limiting factor In South Carolina agriculture Is lack of humus and the most economical way to get humus In the aoll Is by grow ing winter JegumcH and tuwilng under In spring. The growing and plowing under of winter legumes will uoit outy put humus Into the soil, but It will also add nitrogen and will thus <mean a saving to farqlers In the most ex pensive plant food element that they have to buy.
