The regular annual meeting of the cotton growers' association of Bamberg j county was held at the court house last Saturday.

President-r-Jno. W, Crum, of Denmark. First Vice-President?D. H. Rice, of Olar. Second Vice President?D. 0. Hunter, of Hunter's Chapel. ' Secretary?John F. Folk, of Bamberg. The following were elected as delegates to the State Convention to be held in Columbia the first Wednesday in January, 1906: Jno. W. Crum, J. E. McMillan and W. T. Cave. Alternates: D. O. Hunter, Jno. F. Folk and D. H. Rice. Some of the collectors appointed to collect the three cents per bale from the planters reported that the amount twas willingly being paid by the planters. The collector for Bamberg township reported $130.00 colleted and that be had not finLie itrAi?1r touw UiO TTVia* Capt. W. T. Cave was appointed collector for Buford's Bridge township. It was decided that the regular meetings of the county association should be held at the court house on the first Monday in every month during the year 1906, and that the officers of and three delegates from each subordinate organization in this county be requested to attend each of these meetings. The county is being thoroughly organized, and the planters are sure to derive great benefit from this organization. President Jno. W. Crum and the other officers and members of the association are taking great interest in the organization, because they are firmly convinced that it is absolutely necessary for the planters to organize and protect themselves against those who would buy the product of their labor for less than its real value. Pension Notiee. I will be in the Auditor's office every Saturday in January, 1906, from 10 o'clock, a. m., until 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of writing up and preparing applications for those that wish to go before the county pension board, which meets the first Mondav in February, 1906.

The machine that Ilea Idle is far more liable to Injury than the machine that runs. Air and dampness do more damage than wear and tear. Let the machine remain Inactive awhile, and the coating formed by the corrosion soon covers the bright metal and the parts become stiff and cranky. A man neglects the working parts of his body. Normally these parts should be exercised. He indulges bis members In idleness. Whatever vitality and working force they may have had when in continued use, neglect causes the machinery to run stiffly. It Is the rust A man may neglect to exercise his working brain forces. He may have ever so quick a mind, but if he does not use his mental machinery the rust of idleness is soon over It A man may neglect to use the moral forces that are in him. There is a weakening somewhere. The machine lets down. And soon the parts are rusted. When the primary or the convention or the ballot box, working parts of government are neglected the rust collects. The machinery works poorly. It may break down. iteep your body working without friction by systematic exercise. Keep your mind bright by using it Keep your soul clean by working it And so for society nine-tenths of its evils are caused by the idleness of its necessary working parts. ? Chicago Journal. A Shoe That Altered HUtory. After the fall of Anne Boleyn the pope prepared overtures of reconciliation so favorable to King Henry VIII. that he determined to accept them. A representative was sent from Rome with the dispatches, and when within a day's Journey from Calais his horse cast a shoe and fell lame. As it was a favorite, the messenger determined to wait, a day that the poor animal might rest and recover. Next day the journey was resumed, but on the day that London was reached Henry had been married to Jane 8eymour, a Protestant, *??? Vioan hahDodoH and nil hnne AUUU uau wvuvuuvv.) ? ? _ of reconciliation with the papacy was at an end. The cast shoe had thus changed the bent of English church history. A Balky Male. It is stated on the authority of officers in the Confederate army that a balky mule decided the battle of Gettysburg. The southern and northern troops were both attempting to reach an eminence the position of which practically decided the battle, and the southern column was blocked by a balky mule just long enough to enable the northern troops to gaiii the emi nence, and so that balky mule really decided the battle.
