Your suggestions last week m ref- ereooetto the dispensary petitions and the calling of an election were true and to the point. In view of the fact that the con stitutionality of the law under'which we are to act is soon to be passed up on by the Supreme court, it seems decidedly proper that the matter be stayed finding that decision, and then if the legislature is going to give us shy relief we will know it in time to save the expenses of an election al together. But apparent as these facts are I think it is due the people of e conn, ty that they should know what they have done in the way of asking for the election^ we worked on these pe titions and we are anxious to know what the sentiment of the oountv is. What harm oould come of our know ing what interest has beeu taken in the movement? What harn\ could come of our knowing whether or not we are en titled to an election? Why is all this delay? Where have those petitions been ever since they were signed and sent in last summer? All parties concerned may be doing their duty but they get about it most clumsily. 1 believe the officials who have this matter in hand are noting honestly, but they do not seem to realise the importance of the work in hand. We deem it a hand to hand struggle be tween vice and virtue, between hon esty and corruption, between life and death. Our mother state has fallen and become a prostitute and we yearn to wash the stain from our bauds and join our sisters io an effort to isdeem sod reclaim our mother and reinstate her in chastity. When oh when will the Palmetto State, Tarn from her shame and her error so great, When will she cease to degrade her own sons, Kill his ambitions and take what he V own*? When will she oeaae to put hell to bis lips Cease to take pey for the cup which be sips When will she guide him to virtue and right Out of the darkness and into the light? When will she wash all the stain from her bands Put on the robe that her station de mands Take np the glory which once was her earn Pray for forgiveness for what she has done?

C. brant Re* elected for Another Veer. Other Boslneea of Importance. « At the meeting of the cotton grow ers of Colleton county held on the 2d Saturday in December, 1905; W C Brant was re-elected president, H D Padgett vice-president; H J Givhens secretary; H W Black Jr treasurer; and P M Murray collector of the three cents per bale tax. Mr Murray is the right man for the place. Dur ing his trip through the county tak ing returns he will see everybody and it it important that everv farmer pay this tax. It is only three cents per ♦ bale, but if paid it helps to carry on the work of the association to onr success and to the success of the en tire South. Now let every farmer who has not paid or contributed to the association, do his duty by help* ing to carry on this great work, for it is a duty we owe to our homes, our neighbors and our oounty. Let every patriotic citizen stand np for his home, his neighbor and his country and not wait for some one else to do what you should help to do, we have,helped to fix the price of onr cotton for all time past Let it be high or low and we are still helping to fix the prioe. If the price is low we make it so; first by planting too much cotton, second by a reckless system of marketiug cotton. The cotton association recommends diversified forming. Plant and raise more oorn, oats, peas, pinders, pota toes, hay and winter rye, for winter and spring gras mg of stock and them by nose more and better stock, and we wont need four bales of five oral cotton to pay a one hundred dollar debt but will reduce our sup ply debt to fifty dollars and will pay that with one bale of ttn cent cotton, bnt we must be educa ted up to this method of more svs- mstio forming and marketing of cot ton and the Southern Cotton Asm- elation is endeavoring to do this, and if any man expects to educate himself or his sons and daughters 7 he must expect it to cost him money. ~ The great industrial schools of the South are doing a great work for the devel opment of the South, but the South ern Cotton Association is doing a more rapid work along the line Ot educating the former. Let the for mer aooeptthe advice given by the association. Do not increase your screage. The association recommends that no man plant over ten acres to the horse in ootton. Let every, man obey the order, it means our own success.
