By some mistake the report went out November 10. This convention will no doubt be very largely attended, and will bo decidedly helpful to tho cotton growers of the State. Pickens county will, of coureo, be duly represented by wide awake dele <?ates. At tuo *jounty uonventiou, | held November 7, Messrs. C. L. Cureton and W. T. O'Doll were elected delegates to tbo Stato Convention. Realizing what the cotton crop means to the people of the State, the farmers aro willing and glad to do everything in their power to get a remunerative price for their cotton after it is raised. After all it is the sure money crop. A convention of unusuul importance has been called to meet in Shreveport, La. December 12-15. It has been called in the interest of the cotton growers of tho South, to light the destructive boll weevil. The boll weevil is gradually eularging its area each year at tho rate of about 100 miles. Competent judges say that it will bo only about ten years until tho entire cotton growing region of the South will bo infested. The outlook is certainly diseourcging, and it is hoped tbo convention will accomplish something, but considering past organized efforts, it is likely the 10SU suite will bo fruitless. The State Legislature of Texas offered $50,000 \ to any one who would suggest a suecessful plan of extermination. Many L plans wero submitted, but we have never heard of the money beiug forked over. While people in South Carolina do not ordinarily think for a a^ment of the destructive effects of boll weevil, it is high time the ^^of \vX is being sounded against H^et. Gov. Heyward lias been ifr to appoint 100 <.lolegrtte.s to the SaSuvention, and ho says lie will apBFint the entiro number, and urgent requests every delegate to attend. ^^Jeath Claims a Prominent Citizen of HI Anderson County. .Died in Brushy Creek Township, Anderson county, S.

For years th subscription department lnis bee run on the "credit system'' till tli books are crowdod to the covei with a mass of unpaid and uuco loctablo accounts. Newspap< subscription accounts are smal and as wo have two thousand < those on our books, it can roatlil bo 8oen that the cost of collectic is a very heavy it<jm, and wo ai forced, tor our own protection, 1 call a halt and adopt tho -'cash i advance" system of conducting 01 business. Therefore, alter Jan' ary 1st, 15)05, all papers sent fro this office must be paid for in ac | vau^u, Wo realize that this is taking bold stand, but "Business is bus ness," and we beliove that tl larger number of our readers \vi take into consideration our poe tion and remain on our list readers. To the subscriber who pays fi his paper it simply moans that 1 pays for tho year in advance, ii stead of paying for the year pas To the man who does not expe to pay for his paper it Simp means that he don't get it. To un it means much. The ea injr of hundreds of dollars ai tho use of our capital.
