NOTE AND COMflENT. Diversify your crope. • e • Help the Walterboro Infirmary. * . * There i> some talk of the legislature eontinoing in session longer than forty days. The pay stops next Saturday, the 17, and we think it safe to say that fee session will close the same day. • * We do not think the farmers of Colle ton plant too much cotton, bat on the contrary do not believe they plant enough of it. They ought to plant more of this money crop, bat'should not do so at the expense of the provision erop. • * * Cotton ia a good crop to make, bat a farmer feel* comfortable when he can point to a crib fall of corn, big banks of potatoes, barrels of syrup and plenty of hit home raised meat. The thing to do * it to try to raise all your provisions at home and then plant all the cotton von era. But it is poor busineas to raise ootton to bay provisions with; especially when provisions can be raised with lest txpense and trouble than cotton. * • * We desire to commend Auditor Mur ray in his efforts to get the property in the county on the tsx books at its resi value. There are thousands of dollars worth of property not on the books at all, and many thousands more returned at figures which are simply ridiculous. The burden of taxation ought to be borne equally by all the people, and this cannot be done until all the proper ty is returned at it« real valne.Let every body hold np the hands of the auditor in this matter and help him to get a just sseeaament of all the property liable to taxation. ~ • o' e • C0WPEA3 IN DEMAND. Commissioner Watson of the bureau of Agriculture ocmmeroe and immigration announced in the newspapers last week that he has secured a permanent mar ket for cowpeaa at one dollar per bathe! for ail that can be raised in South Caro lina daring this year. This ought to be o a gseat stimulus to the growing of peas in onr State. Everybody reoognists the great value of pea vines for feeding I»ttpoe<m, and of the roots for fertilizing the land; now if a market can be se- sosed for nil that can be grown ata dol lar per bushel, our fanners will, no doubt, give now attention to this im- postont crop. Colleton cught to get $100,000 tor the paa crop of 1006. The department says: Arrangements have been completed with one of the rspressutatlve memtiandlse broker* and manufacturer’s agents at the port of Nsw Orleans whereby every bushel of South Carolina raised cowpets can be bandiWdat remunerative pnora. The ktosr to tbs department says: “We will P*M1 per beahel for cowpeas, mixed, ekys, uaknown, whippoorwills or any ether good variety f. o. b. stations your Stoto. This price is net cash, bill of Indlnfnfttnohed for nil shipments.

This being true, young men of energy and pluck are turning their faces toward this setion where the lands are yet cheap. Not only will the high prices of land elsewhsre force pop* ulation this way, bat the prejndioe heretofore existing against this part of the state as tcfclimate is gradually being dispelled. People of the np-conntry no longer look npon the low-oonntry as a death hole like they use to. People have come here from the Piedmont and en joyed' as good health as they did among their native hilUk But this predjuce has been the main cause of their not coming. o Besides, the people are beginning to know something of onr marvelous re sources—resources they had never dreamed of, which lay so near to them. They are beginning to know something of the wonderful fertility of onr soil, of the wealth of onr timbered lands, of equable climate, of the happy distribu tion of rainfall and sunshine so well adopted to the growing of crops. Bat they need to know more of theee. Not withstanding the fact that we enjoy all theee advantages, onr county is yet early developed. And in onr opinion, our greatest need is more white far mers,—farmers who know how to v ork and who don’t mind work. We need more small fanners to settle and de velop onr extensive areas that are now undeveloped. What will yon do to make the year 1906 the greatest in the history of Colleton county. •— —' •» « — Oss in the stotnach.

Restored to Health by Virol and Strong ly Endorses It. Prominent men from all parts of the country are endorsing Vinol, and strong testimonial letters from four ministers of the gospel and several physicians have been received within a week. Such unsolicited testimony as this is the best proof of merit any medicine can have. The Rev. George W. Ruland, of Keene, N. H., writes: “I have used yonr cod liver oil preparation, Vinol as a tonic, and I do not believe there is any other medicine that can equal it. It built me np and strengthened me when run down and overworked. Vinol has done for me more than was claimed for it.” * “We honestlv believe there is no other remedy or cod liver oil preparation known to medicine that has the healing strengthening power which Vinol has, and if it fails to create strength and health for run-down, debilitated people, old people, weak, sickly women and children, nnrsing mothers, and after a severe sickness, or if it fails to cure a hacking cough, chronic cold, throat or bronchial trouble, or to make those who are too thin fat, rosy and healthy, we will return every, cent paid ns for it. Is there is a sick ailing or aged per son in Walterboro who can afford to ignore this generous offer?” John M Klein, Druggist. ' Indigestion is much of a habit. Don’t get the habit.

Sherman’s anqy stole many spoons and things while making the famous demonstration that war is hell It seems that among these thh gs were a number of valua'Je State papers from the capitol at Ra’eigh, N. C. Senator Simmons of North Caroli na, has offerel a resolution that these, papers, which are i.i the department of state, he retorned to the State of North Carolina, where they are specially wanted just now as histori cal material. Something of a stir was caused. Several men spoke, among them Senator Spooner from Wisconsin, who said that such papers in possession of the national govern ment, which belonged to the States as States, should be returned bat that all doenments so held which are property records of the war, papers belonging to the Confederacy, should not be returned. ^ This teemed to be the prevailing opinion and the resolution was about to be considered by unanimous con sent, when the inevitable Lodge ot Massachusetts arose and objected, whereupon it had to he referred to the tibrapy committee. The outcome of this matter is of interest to all those Southern States records of which are held by the, national government ~— 't** Died—>The infant of about six months of Mr and Mrs Peeples Hern don died Monday and was hurried yesterday at Peniel MethodisUoeme- tery in toe prenenoe of a large crowd of relatives and Irtettds.
