THURSDAY JUNE, 22nd. 11)05. Tiik weather this year has done more toward reducing the acreago of cotton than the farmers meeting did last winter. In many parts of the country providence ha? accomplished the end that was so much desired. ? * * Since tho rains of a short time ago ceased, the farmers have been busy in their crops all over the county. Grass and weeds threatened to take some of their crops and this would have been the caso in some instances if the rain had continued. * * * A tobacco trust man, William II. McAllister, who was before the United States grand jury as a witness in tho investigation of tobacco trust, refused to produce papers and to anwser the questions put to him about the business, and was lined in the sum of $5.00 for contempt of court and sent to jail there to remain until he is williug to anwser the questions put to him. He tuesce.., lva,)t there until he ans" ' his remaining life. ? 1 here was an excursion too small a line, ute people from this point tci orge'own last Sat urdav . ,. the -Auditor.lames A.

The Legislature found it ?wcssury to increase the salary of tl\ magistrate at Conway, as tho old salary was entirely too small to pay for amount of work that is now required of him. * * * In a short time as many as four now stores will be open in Conway adding that much to the growth of the town as a business center. We are told that the four new stores are already rented. With a greatly increased number of stores and mercantile establishments carrying large lines of merchandise, Conway is IV position to attract trade and draw it away from other places that have been getting a share of a certain trade in the past. There is talk of still now store buildings that may be ready for occupancy by the lirst of next year, possibly before. We like to see this progress. * * * The commissioners of internal improvements have made their report to the town council including therein the report of the civil engineer who was imployed by them to look into the situation here. In short the commissioners have decided to put in drains from 3d to Gth avenues inclusive, from Iteaty street eastward to Kingston lake. Storm water will be taken caro of by hollow drains along tho streets running north and south and carried into the cross town drains through man holes arranged at the crossings. This will cost about $l(i,000.00. They will lot tho contract for lighting the town tto some private individual or corporation. If they have funds sufficient they will pave Main street from the dopot to .the graded school building. * * * More than a decade ago thero was one curlcy headed lawyer in this State who jumped upon the uiimuco uunu vragon ana roao to congress thtroon. He was promoted to a seat in the U. S. Senate, but had not been there Ion# t.'f .re in- became the tool of the ad mini.miration and took on himself the Herculean task of organiz ing a decent republican party in South Carolina, as if such thing was possible. For his faithfulness to his party which ho had betrayed he fearod to go before the people for re-election. That same curley headed Johnnie is now doing his best to rido the Southern Cotton Association in the same way he rode the alliance, At Greenville ho showed that ho had political aspirations when ho at temped to get on another popular wave. It will be best for the Southern Cotton Association, if it would not suffer tho fate of the alliance, to drop J. L. McLaurin and tell him that another can be had to do the work he is doing. It won't do for the Southern Cotton Association to be ridden by any such. - Cherokee News. 1 LAW BEING* VIOLATED. In one of the counties a dispenser has been presented for failing to use the requests required by the dispensary law Nto be tiled by the purchaser before the whiskey is delivered to him. The fact brings to mind the disregard of many provis- | ions of the dispensary law in nearly evory county where a dispensary is located. There has been opposition to the dispensary law ever since its passage and for various rensous. Some have opposed it on account of principle, others merely through prejudice. Any dissatisfaction with the law that has arisen siucc it has been in operation in the Stale may be laid to the fact that those charged with the due execution and carrying out of the law have utterly failed to perforin their duty. The spirit and intent of the law has been utterly disregarded. It is against the law to sell liquor to any intoxicated person, or to any person who is in the habit of using intoxicating liquors to excess, or to any minor. This appears in section 606 of the dispensary law^as printed in the code and reads as follows: "Before selling or delivering any intoxicating liquors to any person a request must be presonted to the county dispenser, printed or written in ink, dated of the true date, stating that lie or she is of age, and the residence of the signer, for whom or whose use it is required, the quantity or kind required and his or her true name; and the request shall be signed by the applicant in his own true name and signature, attestod by the count3' dispenser or his clerk who receives and files the requests. But tho requests shall be refused if the county dispensor filling it personally knows tho person applying is a minor, that he is intoxicated, or that he is in the habit of using intoxicating liquors to an excess; or if the applicant is not so personally known to the county dispenser, before filling said order or delivering said liquor he shall require the statement of a reliable and trustworthy person of good character and habits, known personally to him, that tho applicant is not a minor and is not in the habit of using intoxicating liquors to an excess." Any dispenser who violates the above section of the law can be removed from oflico, his bond made liable to the countv in the sum of two hundred dollars for each viola4 : 1 *....41 U-Ul- 1 ? i/iuii, uiiu in it no i" nauii' to any uainagcs that may be recovered by wife, child, parent, guardian, employee or other person who has been damj aged by reason of his selling the liquorAuontrary to law. And it is a mi^remoanor for any person to obtain a delivery of liquors from the dispenser by means of fraud or deceit in concealing the fact that the applicant is a minor or person of in temporate habits. Those provisions and others have never been carried out at a majority of the dispensaries and for this reason there is more truth than fiction in the statement that the dispensary law has failed to reduce drunkenness and the consumption of intoxicating liquors Whiskey is dangerous in the hands of the drunkard "1 \ i - ? ... uuu nc \yno annus it to an excess, and it should be kept out of bis hands by every means in the power of the law. The blame instead ol resting upon the dispensary law itself should rest upon the shoulders of those who have been charged with its enforcement. ? m > ? Colored Teachers.

I . i WANTS FARMERS TO CEL* EBRATE. 1 President Harvle Jordan Issues a ] Call Askln* Them to Hold Gath- j erinrs on July 4th. { President Ilarvie Jordan of the l Southern Cotton association has de- ( cided that the fanners iu all of the | cotton growiug counties should ] meet in their respective cominuni- 1 ties on July 4th, have barbecues, speakiug and make the duy oue of ( general rejoicing this year on ac | count of the splendid work accoin- i plished by the farmers in reducing the cotton acreage in 11?05. President Jordan's call follows. Oflice Southern Cotton Association, Atlanta, Ga., June 9, 1905. To Southern Cotton Growers: Every report issued on the cotton acreage of 1905, including the Uuitod States government report of June lid, indicates beyond all question of doubt has been materially reduced by the farmers, thereby making another abnormally largo crop with extremely low prices an impossibility. Southern cotton growers are to be highly commended for thus standing so loyally by their pledges and promises, which will save the south from financial ruin and disaster. The farmers also held their cot ton from the markets during the most depressing period m January and February, thereby emphasizing their ability to protect their interests from the devastating influences of speculation. The cotton holding movement has saved the south $50,000,000 in the value of the cotton unsold on January 2<>th, and the reduction in cotton acreage will insure 10 cents per pound for the staple next fall. VVe should therefore have a day of general rejoicing I f,??. tlx. ......I. 1S..1 1 .VI bi.v nui l\ muUllipilSIK'd. FOURTH OF JULY SELKCTKI). The Declaration of American Independence from the yoke of foreign domination mis signed on July 4, 1770. 1 think that a fitting day for southern cotton growers lo assemdlc together and declare their freebom and independence from foreign combinations which in the past have dictated the price of the great money staple crop of the south. I therefore issue this call, earnestly asking that the cotton growers all over the south meet on Tuesday, July 4, 1905, either in their local beats, townships, militia districts or at their county seats, and have barbecues or basket dinners, speeches and make of the day one of general rejoicing. I trust also that strong resolutions will be passed at those meetings emphasizing loyalty and patriotism to each other and agreeing that no cotton shall bo sold during the balance of the present year for less than 10 ceuts per pound. 1 call upon the business and professional men in the various towns of the south to assist and take active part in these meetings. It is the duty of every southerner to assist the farmers in thio r.nn.!??i? ..-.1 1 vino |juvi iwiv VI II I y (II1U iO CUIIIIUIMIU them for the great victory they have won. 1 ask that copies of all resolutions passed at these meetings bo mailed to the headquarters of the Southern Cotton association for compilation and publication. Such , a meeting of the cotton growers and their determination to demand better prices for cotton would have 5 a tremeudous effect on the spinners of the world who have sold their goods ahead and have yet to se, cure the raw cotton to (ill their ' contracts Cot every community act and act with determination. Yours truly, i Ilarvie Jordan. . Pres. Southern Cotton Association. Remember (lie Orphans. The following has been received I by the Herald: Very appropriate to the season. There never were a better peoplo than the people of South Carolina. ^ They have had bitter enemies and thoy have been occasionally much maligned, but when it comes to the highest grace of all the grace of loving kindness, they cannot be beaten this side of Heaven. Pardon mv partiality, for I really think so. Now all this sweet talk has a pur, pose?it is a purlude to a suggesm >r to the people of this generous State to set their generous hearts to a task before the summer vaca, tion begins. And it is about to be, gin just now. Have you thought of your little orphan brothers and sisters? There , are two hundred of them in the . Presbyterian Orphanago at Clinton . (Thornwell.) There are two hun, dred more in the Baptist Orphanage at Greenwood, (Connie Maxwell,) there are nearly that many at the Methodist Orphanage (Epworth) at Columbia. T 1/nAlU OAtr?ot Ki n * U _ .. ..U .. awuivmilllK Ul IIIU L'UUUi tion of those denominational homes, for I have a standing welcome at all of them, and who ought to know them better than I? 1 know that at this season of the >?ar they are always sorely pressed for the neces sities of life, and this little love letter to my brethern of the different denominations is to suggest that each ono of you sent at once your check or a barrel of flour, or rice, or molasses, or even a sack of grits, to the orphanago you love best. June and July are the best times to send just now. Everybody with a heart ought to feel it a privilege to do it. At any of these , homes a nickle will give a child a i good meal and fivo dollars will < ooard a child for a month. There > are six hundred of these children in ' your church orphanages. And that ' does not count the Episcopal and Catholic homes in Charleston or the Charleston Orphan House, support- < od by the city, or the colored industrial orphanages in Charleston ! and Columbia, run by those two good colored men, Jenkins and Carroll, who deservo tho help and sym gathy of the white people of this tatc, And I do hope thoy will I. - # x i nut/ in; lorgotien. Now, sit down quickly, dear friend, before you take your own vacation, and beforo you forget it, and do something for the institution that you lovo best. This is the season when nearly everybody is fixing for a good time, Your dear little brothers and sisters at the orphanages ought to have a good time, too. Your friend and fellow citizen, W. P.
