DON'T GLUT THE MARKET Cotton Ragging Instead of the Use of the Jute Advocated by a Herald Correspondent. - - -Farmers' Union Would be of Great Benefit if I'ropcr^ ly Carried Out. Now that we have heard from Doc and Van and the bond issue, lets hear from the man that wears the jeans on the subject of ''Better Farmers", as it is time to begin plowing fur another year, cleaning out ditches and off hedge rows, building terrasses and turning over t U 1 ~ 1 ...

Congress is in session; let every ouo write to their congressman and ask for such improvements as they need, such as cotton bags for fertilizer, cotton covering for the bales j , ol cotton instead of the jute cover-j ing that is now in use. If anyone I is to derive any bmelits from the] use of such articles lot it be the farmers who deserve it, as they are the ones who buy the fertilizer and | make the cotton. It would increase the demand for cjtton and cause the farmer to get more for his cut ton thus enabling him to buy more and better fertilizer and wmr clothes. I This would be a benefit to the man- I i.f.iitncnr n.ml rnnrnhanti as well i as to the farmer, and when he j could get hold of some good cotton , bu;?s on his fertilizer he wouid have ! v something that would he invaluable ' to him for gathering cotton and j psas when used as pick sacks and i sheets. Now, if the jute raisers j buv more fertilizer wo have nothing ! more to say. The Farmers' Union would be of i great benefit if properly carried out. The credit system is another curse to the farmer, as the farmer t goes to the merchant in the spring I for capital to run his farm with that year, pa} s two prices for fertilizer and other necessities. When the farm produce is ready for market j the merchant makes the price and never making it to the advantage of the farmer, out forces him to rush his crop on the market two mouths in the year taking such a low price as a broken down market can j/ivo. Men without capital should work for the man who has it, then when the farmer has his crop ready for market sell it to the manufacturers to the best of advantage.

Magistrate Newton Sweet held court here last Tuesday f^r the purpose of. disposing of several ^ses that had arisen between U J. C Ward, and O, M, V\ atfcs, both par fies residing in this county near Z>an, SC. It seems that the trouble began in relation to a gate which Mr. Ward bad erected on his plantation across an old roadway which was sometime u.^ed by the Watts' family as well as other people. J 1*3 had erected this gate under the provisions of a law, which gives a citizen the right to maintain a gale across a road, the gate to measure a prescribed d is* a nee, Jand be maintained in a certain manner. It is against the law to leave this gate open when passing through the premises of another person, and it is also against the law to damage eilhor the gate or other property belonging to the owner of the land, Two cases were brought against Mr. P. G. Watts, one charging mat he left the gate open upon one occasion the other charging that on auother occasion he had damaged the gate by tearing three slats from it The last mentioned ease came under the head of malicious mischief, and after a lengtbv hearing the Magistrate foung the defendant guilty in the one which charged ,him with malicious mischief, and found him not guilty in the one which related to leaving the gate op n. There was some other warrants relating to other matters between these parties but they could not be heard for lack ol jurisdiction of the Court. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the beat physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription It is composed of the best tonics known com pined with the best blood purifiers, acting diioctlv on the mucous surfaces. The perfect, e mbination of the two ingredients is w hat produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Sand for testimonials f r*?w* F. J. Cheney & Co., Prop*.

C., THURSI |I Of IIM Better Protection Against Fire Wanted. SOME TIMELYtSUGGEST!ONS A Plan Proposed Whereby Water Supply Could be Obtained and the Necessary Funds for the Purchase of a Fire Engine and a Hook and Ladder Outfit Secured. Mr Editor: Your scribe wishes to appeal to j the citizens of Conway rc#->rding a matter that should interest every [citizen and especially our your men. We a'Judo 1o the lire protection of our lown. True we have one lire c >Lnpany, which we wiil not critacize for wo oelieve they will do all they can, but would be powerless with a fire started in a high wind. What, wo need Mr. Editor is to have our city fathers utalize all of our artesian flows by putting down brick or wood reservoirs to save wa-te water and then procure aud engine run by gasoline, also a hook aud ladder equipp dwith lire extinguishers We mav say how are these things to be procured, they cost money very true All that we have cost money, and liable to be swept a*ay 0/ lire at any Lime. Now Mr. Editor we well remember that during the dark days of Carpet Bag Uuto in South Carolina. when our people were bled by taxation, it became necessary for our protection to or ionize Uille Clubs all over our State, the arms as we romeinber cost $35 00 each. How was this amount raised to equip a company of 35 or 40 men with Kemmington rifles? People in our towns, or at least sonic of the towns c-me together in one body and decided to have fairs, the merchants soliciting donations from their merchant friends in New York and elsewhere with whom they did business and these articles were sold at ihe lair, and sufficient funds realize to equip the miilitary company, i'here was also a steam lire engine bought and paid for at a similar fair. Now Mr Editor, those are only suggestions of your humble scribe, we have no desire for any controversy and do not intend to criticise auy of our fellow townsmen. Our aim is to try and enthuse our young men and all of our citizens in this, which we consider, one of our greatest needs. We specially ask the ladies to try and enthuse the men to do their duty in this matter. Respectfully, Citizens.
