He came toward his home after otlice hour* with his nerves still on edge from that coffee. The front door was open. Somebody was in the bouse. Things were tossed about in copfUSiou. An overpowering smell of gas struck him in the nostrils. A lady met him aUt^ie door. It was his landlady. She lived in the next house, and she wore steel bowed spectacles and a black gown. She eyed him with the utmost severity. “It’s a mercy we are not all blown up,” she said. “Here you went off and left the kitchen gas burning all day. The pressure was shut down, the flame went out, and the gas pour ed out all through the houses. We forced the basement window and got at it.

Twilight is the most blessed thought time of the day. During the day which is now gone have we spoken aught that was malicious pr unkind? How many kind words have’ we uttered for our neighbors? Has sopie kind,, un selfish act passed our notice without comment, while a false step was no ticed and talked about as if it were &’ crime? It is ofltimes sa easy to say mean, njntWul things when oue iuudiapiuucil iis. We do not know, we cannot teli, what temptation or More strait may have caused the action we freely epu- demned.

Ijlst, and after a thorough discussion of the situation determined to push the work of or ganizing the fanners of South Carolina so as to control the cotton crop in co operation with, the other cotton grow ing States. The association also decid ed to send a lull delegation to the meeting of the national aseoeiation this month in Macon, Ga. There were about fifty farmers pres ent when the meeting was called to or der by the President, J. C. Wiiborn. The secretary, .L R. Blake, was at bis post. Mr. Wiiborn rcffrred'to the meeting of fhu.cott»»u seed oil mill men recently held here, af -which they decided to combine for the purpose of reducing the price of seed. He said it was de termined to pay 1$13 per ton for seed, which is 19 cents per bushel, while the former price was jR cents per bushel. He said the only- wav to light such or ganizations as this was to meet organ ization With organization. Mr. Wil- boru then addressed the meeting at; follows : ^ Gentlemen of the Convention : The years, estimating the probable amount of cotton to be harvested in such neigh borhoods.

The Association being in possession of ;thcse facts and knowing the amount of cotton to be produced, based uponc the mp^t reliable statistics, will be in apposition, to lix a fair price Tor Yaw Anatoriai -delivered at ports. Before fixing the price, however, we propose to find out the true amount of Ameri can cq,tton required for consumption in twelve ihonths, and the price of the finished fabric offered —with correct in formation of amount of cotton to bo harvested—the number of liales re quired for^consutuptiou by mills, the price of cotton goods, and it will 1 be an easy matter to determine a fair price for raw material. * To get a just price from the buyer of our cottqn, it will be essential to fur nish the supply commensurate with the demand.

Such an attitude is unworthy: The first •definition of “amiable” given in tbe. dictionary is •‘worthy of love.” To be worthy.of love we must get ourselves - into Tight relationship with the world. Love be gets love,’and the woman who would be amiable in the highest sense must learn to love her fellow-man. She should seek out the older people, and find what .delightful companionship 'she has hittyerto missed.

You arc reminded that- when cotton sold as high as thirty cents a pound, it was mauufactuied. For the past three years, 1 have lab ired in season and out of season, with the cotton glower to organize iu order that he might the more intelli gently plant and market bis crop. Many of you remember the Inter- State Convention that I called to meet in Atlanta December, 1897, and the great disapointment we felt at the policy of delay that was then shown. A decrease iff acreage was urged, and from that day- to this the individual effort of the intelligent cotton grower has been to raise his supplies for his farm at home, theicby decreasing the acreage. I desire to urge anew the hog aud hominy plan—make the farm self- supporting, raise cotton as the-surplus crop. Do this and we^ will have the greatest country in th« world. Do this and the country home will again reach its high place and regard 111 the mind* of the youth. The country home should be the'happiest and most independent place in the world. A kind providence has aided us m demonstrating to the most skeptical mind that we have been raising too much cotton. We to-dav stand in a belter condition to manage the cotton situation than at any time, since the war of I860 <»•">. We have assembled here to-night to devise' the best ways and means fpr the future handling of our cotton and cotton seed products on the market-., A change in the manner of marketing this great money crop is absolutely demanded.
