Cotton Growers' Association.
To the Cotton Growers of South Can
lina:
At the earnest request of Hon. Harvi
Jordan, of Georgia, president of tl;
Southern Cotton Growers' Protective a:
sociatiou, and prominent fanners in th
State, I issue this call for the fanners c
our State to meet at their respective coui
houses on 'the first Monday in April t
consider the advisability of reducing th
acreage for the present year, also to dis
cuss ways and means for protecting th
price of our staple from present manipula
tions. If the cotton acreage of the sout
be increased, the price of cotton will g
down to 0 cents next fall, which will r<
suit in the greatest financial calamity tlia
has befallen the southern farmer in year
Now is the time for action, because th
price of the staple next season will b
fixed according to the acreage plante
this spring.
Let every cotton farmer in this State at
tend these county meetings on the firs
.Monday in April, and determine to pre
| tect their property from utter annihila
Jtion. * * J. C. Wilborx,
Pres. S. C. Cot. Growers' Pro. Ass'u.
This call is directed to every planter i;
the county, and every planter should b
directly interested in the object of th
meeting just in proportion to the par
that his cotton crop plays in his schem
for success or family support. The rang
in prices for cotton the past two year
has clearly and impressively demon
stratcd the effect of supply, and if the ke;
to remunerative prices is.the supply, thei
the problem of the grower is the contro
of that supply. We do not attempt t<
put forth any plans lor sucu action 01
the part of the farmers, but we do asser
that anything effective must grow out o
concert, after mature deliberation. I
seems to us that now is the opportune
time to begin, through deliberation
plans of concert that must lead to tin
control, in part at least, by the farmer
the price of his own toil. To advanci
this very object, which can be pursued ir
a most praisworthy manner, the farmers
of this county should meet in the couri
house at Bamberg, as requested by Prcsi
dent Wilborn in the notice above, when
we are assured addresses will be made bj
such prominent citizens as Senator May
lield and Representatives Crum and Bos
tick, and others who desire to take pari
in the discussions.

Denmark I>oings,
Denmark, March 26.?The various
lines of wires, the property of the lone
distance Telephone Company, were
placed on the tax books of this count}
last year at the assessed value of nine
hundred dollars. This company owns
about thirty miles of wire in this county
Your correspondent has been informed
that the actual cost of construction was
five liuudred dollars per mile, making
the real value of the property fifteen
thousand dollars. Farmers generally return
thpir property qt two-thirds of its
value. At a similar rate the assessed
value of this telephone property should
have been ten thousand dollars. Some
official has Idnn^efff] arid 'be jr.?e]-tior
ts nothing short of down right carelessness,
or possibly ignorance. The Comptroller
General is probably responsible tc
the State for these ridiculously low returns.
Such an error should not be repeated
this year,. This is only a ''Yankee
trick." The president of this corporation
lias probably giggled over this
shrewd act more than once as he scanned
his note l>ooks, "Property in ?autfi
Carolina worth sixty thousand dollars returned
at six thousand, Ha, ha, lia, I13!"
Key. G. pdwin Stokes is not only a
tip-top preacher but is also a surveyor oi
marked ability. He has just completed
a re-survey of the town and has presented
to the intendant a handsome map of the
work with all taxable property located
and mileage of railroads accurately designated.
Ditches and waterways have beer
carefully measured, whicb item aicroe
will in a very short time pay for the map,
The enterprising business men of Denmark
are anxiously awaiting the news
relative to the completion of the plain
purposed ;o give our county metrqpGlu
electric lights. Some philanthropic leader
of this future progressive town has intimated
to a humble citizen of this village
that a pole sixty feet in height will be
erected in a suitable place that little Denmark
may for once at least in her histof}
look upon an electric arc. It is now 2
matter of curvature and simple mathematics.
Discussion Is now In prder. The
records claini for Denmark an elevatlor
of eighty-odd feet in excess of Bamberg
This is a statement which must stand a J
a fact until proven to be otherwise. Ever
if the statement should be reversed, the
wishes of the said philanthropist shoulc
be regarded with conditional "seqoi}sue$j
while the expectation of the humble one<
awaits the vision. Bamberg never prom
ises what she cannot forthwith and iw
mediately do. Therefore, in due seasor
the villages will assemble in Railroac
avenue to hail with delight the "rise o:
the lone star of the valley" or "a blink)
jack-o-lantern."
Mr. Editor, in behalf of this little
town, permit your correspondent to con
gratulate the business men of your thriv
ing, progressive little city upon th<
awakening hour which seems to have in
spired the dawn of greater achievement?
The leading spirit of your paper has beer
running the gamut of push quite awhile
It will be a glad hour to us all when th<
dynamo begins its song. Your efforts ii
behalf of your town are praiseworthy
and every indication points favorably t<
coming rewards. Turn the light 011, yoi

Mrs. M. L. Counts for the spring season
has arrived and has entered upon her
work. She will be ready to serve the lalies
at the opening next Monday and
Tuesday. Every
farmer who is interested in the
price of cotton should attend the meeting
to be held in the court house next Monthly.
The cotton growers should organize

By reference to the notice in another
tiolumn it will be seen thai the Rivers*
Bridge Memorial Association will observe
Friday, April 2Gth, as memorial day.
Addresses will be delivered by I)r. A. P.
Montague, president of Fupnan University,
and Dr. J. A. B. Scherer, a prominent
Lutheran minister of Charleston. Both
pf these gentlemen have a high reputation
as public speakers, and there will no
doubt be a large crowd present as usual.
We are sure the addresses be will fine, and
the occasion will be on of the most successful
in the history of the association.
Arrangements have beeu made for the
appearance here of Alba Heywood, the
prince of comedians, and his excellent
company on next Saturday evening, the
80th. Mr. Heywood lias, during the past
ten years, appeared in all the "principal
towns and cities in the United States, and
established a reputation of which he is
justly proud.
He has returned many times 10 me
same places, always meeting with unqualified
success. From the opening to the
close of liis season he is greeted everywhere
with large and delighted audiences.
The reasons for his great success artistically
and financially are obvious. His
comedy is always bright and delightfully
refreshing, and while convulses his audiences
with laughter, there is never the
faintest suggestion of coarseness or vulgarity.
His success in securing the very
best artists to support him, his" desire to
equal or exceed the promises made in his
advertising, and steadfast determination
to "always keep the confidence of the
people." These principals carefully followed
out have made his name a household
word and a positive guarantee of a
first-glass performance.

There is a heavy criminal docket for
the approaching term of court. The following
persons arc in jrjil awaiting trial:

A Letter from Dr. Smoak.
i Editor Bamberg Heralds?I want to ,
sav a few words to my friends of Bam*
w
^ berg county through the columns of your ^
; valuable paper. First, I Want to compare ^
1 notes between the farmers of Bamberg
, _ . T co
' county mm Lexington county. I am ^
well ^qumnted with every part of Bam- ^
berg county and I know it to be a good
farming county, and with all the advan- ^
? tages of a level and fertile county, most ^
" of the farmers are a year behind. Why
i " r J m
. is it so? The question is of much impor- gQ
tance and one that should arouse every
J m
J farmer and if they will listen I will at1
tempt to tell themj there are two cafises.
I First, they buy two much on credit, make
t too many mistakes in their calculations,
and always, or nearly, fall short when '
; the time comes ;o settle up and are left
in such a condition that they are unable
\ to begin the next crop until they get credit. ar
1 Second, too many hands arc hired and Qt
| too often depended on to do the farm
; work. This I know personally. Let mo ,

Clod Hopper Writes Again.
Editor Bamuf.ko Herald:?In "your
st week's paper I noticed Mr. C. A. P.'s
ijection to what I wrote March 10th on
hiskey. I said that the man who drank
hiskey was on the road to ruin, and C.
. P. asked rne the question, if I had
*.? tnl-nn o /Irinlr Yl"S T mill T
nuncnced tin one of Mr. C. A. P.'s litvery
little drinks. Then I entered
e primary school; the second drink a
tie larger one, and I got along fast in
e school. So T took a third still larger
ink and 1 thought I knew more than
y teacher; I soon was a freshman and
pliomore. My tuition so high,
uclx higher than o\\r college preparary
schools. Yes, it was higher than a
cdical doctor's bill, which you know is
tinous. Then J saw thai the way of
e transgressor was hard, and left the
liool.
Now, Mr. C. A. P., he that knoweth
y will and doeth it, shall be rewarded;
id he that doeth it not and teacheth
hers not to do it, it would be better for
m that a millstone was hung around
ueek and he be cast into the sea.
Yes, whiskey is ruinous, for no drunkd
can enter heaven. Again, whissv,
you are ruinous because you steal a
an's brain, dethrone his reason, destroy
s conscience, and utterly obliterate
ery ennobling sentiment of honor in
m.
es, ruinous whiskey, thou art a curse
To soul, to bodv and to purse,
ml liie many sad orphan's faces tell
That whiskey's place should be down
in hell.
ist ask them children coming yonder
If Santa Clans to them did coine,
hey answer no, my dear dead father
Drank all his money up in rum.
Ci.od Hopper.
