There it t family of 250orphan /children at the Epworth Orphan age, Columbia, S. 0., Methodist There are 260 orphans at the Connie Maxwell Orphanage, Greenwood, 8. C., Baptist. There are 260 orphans at the Tbornwell Orphanage, Clinton, 8. 0., Presbyterian. There are 60 orphans at the Chnreb Home, Charleston, 8. C. Episcopalian. The Lathergn Church Home is at Salem* Vn. The Bowbrew Home is at Atlanta, Ga- The Roman Catholic Homes are in Charleston, 8. C. The support and care of all these various denominational institutions, with their large body of fatherless children, is a sufficient appeal to every heart. Some years ago it was suggesed by Rev. Howard Crnmley of Atlanta, Ga., that on the first Saturday and Sabbath of October all those who love children set apart tboee days for gathering fnnds to relieve the needs of the fatherless. On that Saturday, let everybody old and young,rich and poor, devote the day to the Orphanages,each man sending his gift to the Orphanage he love* me best cr that lies nearest his heart. The Georgia scheme worked well. For several years an etfort has been made to rouse an equal interest in South Caro lina, and Alabama and Florida have also taken it up. In every community some zealous brother might take np the matter and pnsh it and the day’s work from everybody would go to the orphans. This proposition is not in the interest of any ony oiph- anage; it is intended for each one to give to the orphanage nearest his heart. Give Satur day’s wages to .the orphans. Gather the proceeds on the Sab bath and forward tc the institu tions above named. It Will be sure to reach the right spot, if drafts and cheeks are made out to the name of the institution it self and provirioos shipped to the some. We have no dout that when an individual oommunity makes special request of the railway authorities, flour and riqaand molaases or any other products would find them willing to deliver without charge. Notice that this is simply a statement. Urgent appeals are not necessary. The orphans need help. The institutions are un able to give it, without the back ing of thepeople. At this season all their ^treasuries are greatly depleted. Do not overlook the day. To Cotton Producer*: The greatest money producing crop of the South—cotton—is now being harvested* The fanners should investigate conditions and use good judgment in eelliag this great money crop of the Booth. - By so doing many million dollars will be added to her wealth. First, we will look into conditions. The supply of ootton is less today than it baa been in twenty five years. The merchants’ shelves are scant of goods. The population of the world is increasing every day, and they have to be clothed. Again, the oat- pat of mtnufaotared goods have greatly decreased this year from the fact the 1907 crop was 4,000,000 bales short* This shortage will have to be made good, as the world needs the goods. As to the condition of the 1906 crop. We have heard noth ing for the last eight weeks but a bumper crop. Who is it that circu late* these reports? I see in Europe, 3,000 miles away, statisticians are freely predicting a crop of American cotton this year of 16,000,000 bales, while many of the knowing ones on thiaaide are sending out literature forecasting the crop at 14,000,000 bales.. The South is now being flooded with circulars of bear dope specula tors and manipulators who are try- the influence of these bearish argu ment*. „ The wholesalet jobber in the ootton trade are demanding concession* from the manufacturer in the price ef goods, while the spinner is holding hack as long as possible \i order to be able to lay in their supply as low as possible. Never before have so many inter ests combined to hammer down the price’ of spot ootton. There never^was a time that the growers will be colled upon to exercise the full limit of strength in resisting the efforts to depress priots as at the present time. There a as never a time that co operation was needed as badly as it is today. Oar annual meeting of “The Farm ers’ Educational aid Co-operative Union of America” met at Fort Worth, Tex., on the first and was in session four daya The attendance was large, all the ootton-growing States were well represented by dele gates. » The unanimous consent of the dele gates wss to keep the mtnininm price a secret within the membership. A national ootton committee wee formed, with a delegate from each State, for the porpom of handling depends on you at to what it brings. We cannot blame the other fellow for getting it as low as he can. There are plenty of good • warehouses, and advise warehousing it and borrowing money on your recc pt to satisfy your iudebtedr ess. As cotton is *he great racney crop of the South, I want to urge our bankers, merchants and othar money men of the South to help the weak farmers to hold thair ootton until the price gets above the cost of production, so the grower may have a profit left to him to have money to spend with other business enterprises. If the farmer is prosperous all other business is prosperous, and if he is not, all other business ia dull. It is the duty of every bonnets man of the Sooth no matter wbat profession he is in, to stand be hind cotton and make it bring a profit above the cost of produc tion to the grow* r. How is the grower of cotton to become able to maintain a profit able price? First he must diver sify hts crops, and now is the time to begin for soother year. Sow oats, wheat,'Crimson clover, vetch, rye and barley. You wiU need it next spring so feed your stock. Instead of buying, raise your horses, mules, cows, hogs and corn. Quit buying hay to kill grass iog to sell the market down under to raise cotton, to buy more hay ith. Make home self-support ing and self-sustaining, and pros perity is yours. * B. Harris.

An enjoyable hunting party spent a few daya test week at Ashe- poodn lower Colleton on a deer hunt Wednesday instead of finding a deer it was the good luck of the hunters to find a big black bear which the dogs started. He was shot by Mr H. W. Black, Jr., and measun nine feet in length, weighing nearly 500 pounds. This was an unusually large bear, and he had been making depredations on Mr B G Price’* hogs. Tboee in the hunting party were Meaars H W Btedk, Jr., fi G Price John Black, W B Ackerman, R R Black, F L Kinsey, H A Patterson and A A Patterson.

Every cotton-producing Stete was represented and there we had the opportunity of getting a true report as to the condition of the growing crop. Not a single State reported anything like an average crop. Boom reported 40 per cent ofl^ some 30 per cent, some 20 per cent, some 15 per cent. It will be impossible for ns to make an accurate report at the time. To begin with, we had floods and wet weather np to the let of July, then hot, dry weather. Rust sod blight sod a dosen other pests we had never heard of before. East of the Mississippi river you bear that Texas and Louisiana an going to make a hamper crop. When you get west of the Mississippi they tell you: Miseissppl, Alabama and Georgia are going to make bumper orope. When you investigate it yon And it is false, la the last three weeks I have been in seven of the leading ootton belt State*, and in no place did I find anything like an average crop. From the time I left home until I reached tbe 4> Lone Star” State I did not tee a single field of ootton that did not have blight, either met or black rot, and was poorly .fruited. ^ Farmers, all you Have to do now is to just sit •taady in tho beat and not put a baloof cottoa ^ eu t!ie market until the price gets right. Remember, it el) mum . Walterboro Women are Fled- Iuk Relief at Lost. It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches aud pains that afflict hu manity; they must “keep up,” must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or head aches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking"'pains aud many aches from kidney ilia Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that help* and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs W M Blocker, Walterboro, S G, says: “1 think Doan’s Kid ney Pills are the best kidney remedy on earth for kidney complaint. I was a victim of thia disease for some time, my kidneys being in a very unhealthy condition. 1 could not rest well at night on account of the pains in my hack and upon arising in tha morning felt so tired and worn ont that I could hurdly commence the day’s work. Dizzy spells and headaches were frequent and a doll, tired feel ing distressed me at all times. Nothing relieved me until I pro cured Doan’s Kidney Pills from tho Walterboro Drag Store.
