Stribung, Pendleton, South Carolina. They Won't Stick. A member of another Union while talking to a member of our t Union a few days neoi', said that he - was afraid that. the farmers wouln't stick after they had met and put v a price on their cotton. (Hore, Brother Stribling take a I few drops of this camphor. Maybe / that will kenp you from "throwing up.") - No "they won't stick" Now i wasn't that fellow playing soma I Mweet music, ifter knowig that c cotton wont froin eev.u cents to ten and a hilf in July, if the same year? t And didn't lie know that our man knew that this rise in the price was i brought ahout by the farmers "a i vtickin'?' a Say, Colenel, don't you think I you could cut the "double shufflie" h after that fellow's music, when you t romember that the Union met at Toxarkana, last September and put the price of 'eleven cents on their cotton and that standing shoulder n t- ehouldor they are still getting 0 that price? Poor fellow, we don't - know what impression he wanted - to make on our man, but the kind a that he did make was that a mem- t bor that is always talking about the other fellow not sticking, is al ways the very first man to kick out Y of the harness when things don't L go to please him. Now, from what we-can learn this fellow has listen. ed so much to the man that don't . belong to the Union, till he is not. only real bilous, but he has oven %i gaught the "Itch." So we would ( p advise hirm to stay away from town, t got out of the unuin for awhilo, and 11 1-'-c his dues and get him a box of i'armflers Union Pills and take three after each meal, thereby getting hiis stomach right. Also get a box of Farmers' Union Salve and give himself a good greasing and quit scratching so much in company, and when he is well of the above diseases let him go back to his Union and try and be a mun. Our Union met last Saturday evening, the 21st and priced our cotton, and now if the other Unions don't want our price, just watch usstay by thle price they set, first, last and all the Limo. W. L. Casey, Secretary Five Forks Un ion No. 1. Crop Liars and Cotton report Leaks. .All along we have been doubting that it was true that quite a nunm, b 'r of our cotton jlanters had sold their crops of cotton before they had planlted it, and had since sell ing out been engaging themselves to aid the gang of crop liars. But after some close Obse'vation aind investigations by others we are forced to admit that there is more or our cotton planters engaged in this very rotten and demoralizing work than we had any idea of. -This is a statement coming from one of the best conservative men in one of the best cotton counties in South ('arolina, Last week we met a company of three special cot ton crop reporters g-ing all about Our county making up a special cot ton crop report. One of these men was a half breed cotton buyer and cotton planter, or~e was a lawyer *that is often times engaged to work on the shady side of lawsuits. and the other was a real jolly drummer who was having a good time but had never been in cotton in any way before, This special agent crowd reported ibis county's crop .of cotton at 871 arnd two weeks *oarber, when every farmer in the county knows the orop to be two weekfs later and that the large sappy growth of stalk is at the expense of the crop of fruit. Another regular cotton crop re. piorter in this samo'icounty is the drunken son of a wealthy b~usiness I man of the city who sent his son * out to the country for reformatory iiuself a fine full fledgod cottoi ,lanter asd is endorsed by th Juited States Government wh< 'urnishes the large franked enve opes for the return of this experl -otton planters report, which wai ianded in as ninety per cent con. lition. H1olyMoses, what will become oi L country whose chief industry it laced in the hands of such oha udges? Farmers, it is your faull hat these conditions aro herE mzoug us. We believe in cotton reports, bul ,o believe in the cotton groweri naking their reports to each otbei [ke other occupations are doing. Lnd the best way to atop the leak. ges of Government roports is foi roducers of cotton-to stOp givini, a those reports to a sot of men whc as been proven guilty of selling ut the interest of the whole SouL >r some that have gone to the rusted Government scoundrels. Where is the house-wife that ould continue to pour fine 'wine uto a jug that she know had al long been leaking? Where is th( irmer that would put his corn in ii left pocket when he knew thal x ere was a hole in this pocket? STUMA SUFFERENs SHOULD KNOM1 THiS.

I knew, as every schoolboy known, the legend that a certain i'Countess ol Salisbury dropped her garter at a ball and that the kIng, picking it up aii( the smiles of courtiers, handed itto hei with the happy and now immortal phrase, "HRon soit qui mal y pense.' But this legend, I recalled, bad had t( go the way of the story of King Al fred and the cakes, the story of Wil Hlam 'ell and the apple apd many anu other pretty fairy tale of history. A last I went to Sir Nicholas Harris Nico las' "History of the Orders of Knight hood," where I found a delightful mast of contradictory authority produced. The tale of the onalign and unie ol the order were first told by Polydorc Vergil (1410-1555), who wrote la th( time of Henry VII. and Henry Vill and who said that the lady wias "th queen or the king's mistress." Segar whose work, "Honor, Military And Civil," appeared in 1602, 250 years ift er the order was founded, 'was the filrs to say that it was the Countess of Sal isbry. Other writers say that it wai the Countess of Kent. John Anstif (1669-1744), 'garter king of arms, wh< published several heraldic works, ridi cules the whole story. le confeesei that an author of Henry VI.'s time who wrote in Latin and whose work Ii now entirely lost, upheld it. Raphael Holinshed, a chronicler, wh< died in 1580, tells the story in detal and says the lady was the queen, whicl surely rather spolls the significance o the legend. Sir' Harris Nicolas him self 'thiuka the story is not Improbable although he urges the fact that Jear Froissart, who is the best contempo rary authority on the reign of E0dwari III., while he has much to say about the order in his hundredth chapter does not refer to It, andi Nicholas ad mits that this tells very much againsa the supposed origin of the story, bul Frolesart may have thought the mattei too trivial to relate. By the way, I fee very much aggrieved that 0. C. Macau lay in the abridged volume of Froissar that he published through the Macmnli lans shoild have ruthlessly cut thi hundredth chapter. It is not. I may add, claimed that th Incident caused the fouuldation of thi Order of the Garter, .but only that I gave Edward. III. the idea for naminj the order which he had resolved t, - founm in any ease. In the absence o any other solutom than that whc rests on these shadowy foundations think we may still go on accepting th ; pretty legond, but I repent my expret - sion of dissatisfaction with the popuhi L histories that they should leave sue natters as this seerely alone,-Loi r do Sphere.
