Pursuant to the call published las week, a small number of farmers am others met in the court house last Mon day at 12 o'clock for the purpose of or ganizing a county cotton growers' asso ciation, which should have for its objec Che controlling of the cotton acreage On motion of Capt. J. C. McMillan, Hon Jno. W. Crum was made chairman am A. W. Knight secretary. Mr. Crum statet the object of the meeting and urged tha some action be taken along the line in dicated.^ He said he had made it a ruh for several years to plant all the provis ion crops he needed for home consump tion and made cotton his surplus crop. Mr. C. A. Milhous spoke along the lim of raising provisions at home, and his re marks were well received. E. T. LaFitte, Esq., also spoke aloiu the same line, and alluded to the contro of the grain and meat markets by tin trusts. The following resolutions were thei adopted: Whereas, we the farmers of Bamben couuty realize from past experience tin necessity of keeping the production o hnimik so as t? m:ikc it profitable; therefore be it Resolved, That we will not increase during the present year, the acreage o: cotton. 2. We recommend that the fanners o: this county plant fully as many acres ii provision crops as they do in cotton. :>. That where a supply of corn wa: not made last year, we will increase tin acreage of corn, in order that we ma] be sure of a sufficiency. 4. That we will diversify our crop; wherever possible so as to reduce tin acreage in cotton. 5. That these resolutions be publishet in the county papers. Remarks were made by Dr. J. R. Mc Cormack, Mr. D. II. Rice and others, al of which were to the point. After some discussion as to a perma nent organization, on motion of Mr. D II. Rice it was decided to meet at thi court house the first Monday in May t< effect a permanent organization. Tin meeting then adjourned to meet at tha time. Although there was not a largi crowd present, much earnestness wa: shown, and it is hoped and believed tha the organization will bring about sub stantial benefit to the farmers. We knov it will if they will only act in concert, fo the movement is taking shape all ove the Southern States. Visitors In Town.

MeMakau, state superintendent of education, 1 and Prof. Ward law, of the South Caro lina College, visited the Denmark high r ' school last Tuesday, and spent the entire ' day in the various departments. The < f % presence of these two distinguished edit- < } cators, knowing the great interest they are taking in secondary education, was i ^ to the school during their stay more than mere visiting. They are expert, managers ; of public school forces. Therefore their 1 open suggestions to the superintendent, 1 after a day of investigation, were appli- i cable to every experienced deficiency, yet 1 the good phases of the school were not * ' overlooked. These gentlemen saw the \ 1 ideal just as quickly as they noted the least developed plans. The summary of 5 the day's work on the part of the visitors i " was very gratifying to the superintendent, and exceedingly complimentary to * his untiring assistants. The rank of this school among similar institutions of learning throughout the state is high. The 1 i ? coining of these gentlemen was a surprise , to the entire corps of teachers. Scarcely had salutatory courtesies been extended * before the special request was made that 3 the usual program be carried out to the 5 letter. Such an announcement was re3 ceived with great joy by teachers and 1 pupils alike, all being partially excited at ? Th/i nroconpp nf n visitor to this VUtVJ. AUV I'i VOV4IW v. ?. . ... s school is of rare occurrence. If a mcs1 sender should be seen making his way to the school building, the serious hearts r turn more grave, and all begin to nerve r themselves up to such a physical degree r as will survive the announcement of the most heart-rending news. But the cultured visitors soon became our warm t friends, and teachers and pupils made haste to catch and respond to the visible sympathy so manifest in the countenance, voice and actions of the new-comers. Mr. McMalian was pleased to see the spirit of this reputable community working in such close touch with the latest educational movements. The trained ' teacher in the school room is a power. Natural tact is essential. Common sense p is a choice, necessary element. Refine'' ment and moral culture is grace divine. These are characteristics of a true teacher, Nevertheless, a special training for school work insures the most excellent results. ' It is very easy to teach, once you know how to teach. The success of the Denmark school has been established through ^s teachers. The patrons have been content to stand aloof, and very few of them j. know what progress has been made. It r is expected of all teachers that they must ; succeed, no matter what hindrances be1 tide the most sanguine periods of tlevelI opment. The teacher must tight his own I battles and stand all criticisms. The standing of them is a test of his manhood. P The school is represented to the patrons a through the children. I cannot imagine e that there is any uniformity of standards. p Complaints are made at all quarters. Nor e does it seem to be a part of the commun"1? ? ? - . liy. me tuwu never uurrp u* e> eu gmuv r the walk? or plant a single twig. The request for a small sum to aid the mainteuancc and growth of a public library is a laid on the table without consideration. . Yet we have a good school. The people ( are deficient in co-operation, and the j education of children is the smallest . problem of domestic life. These remarks may be misinterpreted, unless further strengthened by what seems to the writer e the real basis of union between teachers p and patrons. The hour of crises and j times of excitement are occasions upon which the community is a material supe port to the school officials. The abuser ^ of what is right, in the public eye, is >. speedily condemned. The indifferent are n inspired by the enthusiasm of fellow associates. The community is a big j factor, but somehow it is such through e mere dormancy rather than activity. y What is the cause'? What are the lj remedy Bqajnpsa is making great monopoly of the modern fathers. We are e living too fast. When we sit down to eat we are invariably in the biggest t. hurry. Food is not masticated. It *s 1 packed dqwu tlm alimentary canal to our jj much discomfort, now and then choked by it and then unchoked by a rapid taking j. in or water. Grace is always short. Posn sibly the theme of our life may be accu[. rately depicted by quoting u quaint old Scotch grace, which ruqs as follows: t'Somp ha'e meat but eanna eat, some can eat but ha'e nae meat, but we ha'e meat v an' we can cat, the Lord be tliankit."

April 2?The union meeting that was to have been at Saltkeliatchie church was quite a failure. On account of the inclement weather there was no one there Saturday. There was a large congregation there Sunday but we had in) preacher. We had prayer meeting, conducted by Mr. Tom Deer, after which the minutes and Sunday-school books were distributed. The union will hold its next meeting with this charge, trusting for better results. Our fanners are busy now: they are planting cotton and melons. We enjoyed a sociable at Mr. J. F.

Kf.ai:se, March 30.?April fool! How many did you get? Our farmers have finished planting corn, and are now preparing the soil for cotton. Miss Jftaisy Kirkland spent a few days in our neighborhood this week. Everyone is looking forward to a pleasant day to be spent at Mrs. L. A. Brabhani's, around the quilt, next Saturday. Mr. Charles Aver, who has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. L. A. Brabham, lias returned to his home, near Midway. Capt. and Mrs. W. E. Sense were the guests of Mrs. J. F. Kearse last Thursday. Mrs. J. S. Breland and Miss Lura Johnson have returned from Augusta, after spending a week there. We were glad to see our esteemed friend, Dr. W. B. Ackerman, of Lodge, in the neighborhood on Friday. lie, with four of our local sportsmen, spent the day among the feathery tribe, but judging from the game they had they must have paid "brer rabbit" a pop call. K. B. Advantages of Intensive Farming. By the judicious use of fertilizers, the method of farming that is known as intensive farming can be made extremely | profitable. Let us see whether or not this is so. Take, for instance, the great staple crop of the Southern States: cotton. Labor is scarce in the South, and getting more and more so ever}' day, and is commanding better wages than for some years past, owing to the demand for white labor in the cotton mills and colored labor in turpentine fields, railroad, mining, and other kindred operations. Wars abroad have made horses and mules higher than they were a few years back; add the further fact that feed is bound to be higher in 1001 than for several years, we arrive at the conclusion that it will cost more to run a plow this year than it did in former years, with the probability that the cost will grow each year. It will cost more money, therefore, to till an acre of land. It is a matter of common knowledge that it takes less labor to o.iltivate an acre of land making a bale of cotton than it does to cultivate an acre making a half bale, for in the first ease the crop soon gets up so that it can be worked largely with a plow, and shades fie land so that the grass does not grow rapidly. By a slight increase in the quantity of fertilizer per acre it is an easy matter to bring the production per acre from a half bale to a hale, and the additional post of the fertilizer. God be with us all. F. F. Kf.akse. Willie P. Felder Acquitted. Wai.terboro, March 80.?The ease of the State against Willie P. Felder, charged with the murder of L. C. Ilerndon, in Walterboro, on the 18th of last July, which has been on trial before Judge Buchanan in the Court of General Sessions since Wednesday, is ended. The jury returned a verdict at 4:45 this afternoon of not guilty. Intense interest was manifested during the trial. Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning w ere consumed in obtaining the jury. Taking testimony was finished yesterday afternoon and arguments were heard this morning. The filling, as stated in the News and Courier at the time, was the result of an attack made upon Mr. Felder by Herndon because of the refusal of the former to pay Mr. Ferrell for a string of spoiled fish.
