Legislative action can no more regulate the cotton acreage than -a town council can ordain how long a citizen's cotton shirt-tail shall be. .What has become of the old fashioned newspaper that used to refer to President Wilson as "the Schoolmaster," "the Pro *fessor" and "the Idealist?" 1 According to t h e London Times cotton is bringing 17k cents in England. But how are 1 * the cotton farmers to get the 1 fleecy staple across? They are all singing it in Vir ginia now: "Nobody knows how dry Iam!" The state went "dry" by a large majority Sept. 22. which will take effect in 1916. "Senator Burton, of Kansas, spoke all night in the senate the1 othsr night," says the Spartan burg Journal. Now, when Sen ator Burton, of Ohio, sees that .he'll be mad. The prohis certainly took the gin out of Virginia, and the Asheville Citizen says the state should hereafter be ca lled "Viria" because of the afore said extraction. Let ever5 man who can sow plenty of wheat and oats this fall, buy a pig and make your, own meat; then, if the war con tinues, you can live a while at home. anyway.1 We are advlsed by many wise - cres that to help the cotton sit- ] uation along we should wear ~more cotton clothes.

Boggs Died in Anderson Julius Boggs, of Pickens, one of the most prominent men of the up-state, died at the Ander son County Hospital Thurs day night at twenty minutes after seven o'clock. Mr. Boggs had been there for treatment since Sunday morning. Death was due to kidney trouble. Mr. Boggs was born February 14, 1854, in Pickens county, where his forefathers came from e Ireland. He was reared on the r farm, and in early manhood en gaged in the mercantile busi ness. He then taught school for several years, and at the age of 0 26 was admitted to the bar, having read law under Capt. C. L. Hollingsworth, at Pickens. This was in the year 1880. 'S With the exception of a brief period in 1882 when he practiced e law at Marshall. Texas, Mr. Boggs lived and followed his pro fession in Pickens from 1881 un g til 1913. In 1882 he was elected solicitor of the .Eighth judicial circuit, which position he held for eight years, retiring to run for congress. He was the first president of the Pickens rail road and at one time was editor of the Pickens Sentinel and a member of the State Press as sociation. He was a member of dthe Grand Lodge of Masons, and also was a member of the . Knights of Pythias.. On De cember 24, 1882, he married fl Miss Minnie Lee Bruce, of Pick ens, who preceded him to the graye. Mr. Boggs was an elder of the Presbyterian ohurch. Four children survive him. They are Miss Helen Boggs, of r- Pickens, and Messrs. LeRoy of Cincinnati, Bruce of Los Ange V les and Julius E. Boggs of Eas ley. His two sis'ers are Mrs. T. H, Smith, of Easley and Mrs. if. I. Horton of Columbia. The funeral was. held Friday afternoon at five o'clock at Pick ens. Tie body left Anderson d Friday morning at 11:50 o'clock over the P. & N. lines. , te Funeral services were held in it the Pickens Presbyterian church and conducted by Rev. Mr. Y Dodge of Anderson, assisted by Rev. J. C. Bailev and Rev. e D- W. Hiott. The body was laid to rest in the church ceme tery by the side of the grave of his wife. Many magnificent lx and beautiful floral offerings to were sent by friends. t Few citizens in the Piedmont r section were more popular than |Mr. Boggs. During his service ol as solicitor he had occasionl to Svisit repeatedly the counties of cGreenville, Anderson, -Pickens e and Oconee, which comprised his circuit. He was an orator of unusual ability and when the news got abroad that he was to speak in a case of interest the e court rooms were usually pack ~ed. His white hair and his face were familiar sights in all the court house cities of his circuit, eas well as in other cities and s communities. He was often d called upon for addresses at social gatherings, and in other ways was in demand. Today y when men talk of court house e experiences. o r o f speeches 0 heard within the walls of the 0 temples of justice of the old rEishth circuit, almost invari f ably some one wilt recall the V speeches which Mr. Boggs made e in this or that case. One of his e points of strength was his ora tory andliis ability to pick out the essentials of a case, present r ing them in a manner such as e was sure to impress the jurors. t He often,. by forcible presenta a tion of evidence, nerved the 1. jury to the duties imposed upon - it. n Mrs. Annie Jones Petty t Mrs. Annie Jones Petty died e at the home of her brother, Mr. 1H. M. Jones, near Easley, on 11 Sunday, the 20th instant, in the - 49th year of her age. Mrs. Petty was borgi and reared in the St. Paul community. She a went to California several years ago where she was married to y Mr: Stephen Petty, a wealthy il ,entleman, and since her mar t riage she has lived in Oakland, California, and in New Zealand, and spent some time in -Tieta ' for the benefit of her health. 2 She leayes a husband and one s sister and seven brothers, Mrs. .John A. Smith of Easley; Mr. 1 G. W. Jones, .Oakland,. Cali . fornia; A. F. Jones, H. R. Jones, 1 W. B. Jones, H. M. Jones, IR. 3 B. Jones, all of Easley; S. W. Jones of illinois. Mrs. Petty ..was a daughter of the late Win. M. Jones of Brushy Creek. She was a member of the Presby terion church of Oakland, Cali fornia. She died happy. Her funeral at her request was con -ducted by Rev. D. W- Hiott, as i sisted by Rev. C. D. Waller from . the Methodist church at Easley .and her body laid to rest in the tWest View cemetery in the presence of weeping friends and loved ones. - Easley Progress. Sept. 23. r Tut, Tut!

Better be teaching them how to live and to be thankful for the good things God ,has put here for them to enjoy.-Gaffney Marietta Route 2 (Too late for last week.) Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mc Junkin visited at Mr. E. T. Eden's last Suhday. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Turner visited Mrs. Myra Turner of Dacusville route 1 last Sunday. Well, Farmer, we only lost one man on our state ticket and that was.he man that carried the best county in the state, viz: Pickens, and then the county ticket. Well we didn't lose none to hurt on that either. The summer term of school closed at the Jones school house on the 18th, with Miss Alma Jones of Oolenov as teacher. Miss Jones has taught us a good school and no doubt will teach the winter term for us. In 'the second race for m agis trate between Messrs. W. H. Williams and J. M. Childress of Dacusville township the former was -elected by some 25 or 30 votes. Boys we laid down fac tionalism in this race and voted like men. A mad dog was prowling around in the Looper's Gin sec tion of the county last week, biting numerous dogs and it is said one person. Now as fox our sentiments on the dog ques tion, we wish the legislature while in session next month would enact a law to kill every dog in the great state of South Carolina. What say you Mr. Editor. Everything is moving along nicely in this burg and since the stir and bustle of the electionE are over we have all settled down to gathering war cotton and are anxiously hoping that something may be done to give us living prices for this crop and then the next crop should be re duced one half if it has to bE done by legislation; this being done we believe that we would get a good price for our cotton all the time. PROGRESSIVE. Pump Is Safer Than Open Well "'A few years ago we used to b inclined to believe that a great lot of our pollution of wells went through the ground," Mr. War ren H. Booker of the .N orth Carolina Board of Health writes. "Now, we are coming to change our minds and we believe that a great source of difficulty with these open wells is on account of people carrying filth on theii boots and shoes and washing it off on the well platform nearby and then rinsing it back into the well by means of waste water or by means of actual contact with the bucket or rope and human hands and lips. 'Another means of polluting ouw farm wells is by means of dust, dirt, trash, insects, etc., getting in at the open top. The health offcers are coming to believe now that by all odds the greater pro tection to ordinary farm wells is to close top up tight and in stall pump and trough. This protects the top of the well and carries the waste water away Sc that there is much less danger than we formerly thought there was by pollutlon reaching the well after traveling through from twenty five to one hundred feet of soil.

Boggs Friends all over South Caro lina will drop silent tears on the grave of Julius E. Boggs, farmer solicitor of the eight judicial circuit, who died Thursday night in the city hospital at An derson after an illness extending over a considerable period of time. His death while not un expected nevertheless brings keen sadness- to those who knew him. Mr. Boges was truly an apostle of sunshine. No matter how low and how dark the clouds may be hanging he could always see the silver lining to them. He ldved his friends and loved his state. The people of his judicil circuit several times honored him by election as solic itor and he finally voluntally re tired from that position to make the race for congress from the third district. He was defeated for congress but he accepted it in a m'ost manly manner. Jule Boggs will be missed. Sparanburg Journal. How to Become a Poet. "The art of writing poetry is very difficult at first, but it becomes easy by practice," says an English writer. ~'The best way for a beginner Is to take a line from another poem; then he should construct a line to fit it; then, having won his start, he should strike out the first line (which1. of course, does not belong to him)- and go ahead. When the pqet has written three verses of four lines each, lle should run out and find a girl some where, and read it to her." A Beatitude..
