Wonder what our "Cotton Ed" will tell 'em? The raising of the blockade on cotton by both the English and German governments should have a good effect on the price of cotton. It is predicted that the price will gradually rise. Hold your cotton-if you can. "What is the best joke?" in quires the New York Times. Offhand,, we should say the Sat urday edition ofBrother Hearst's "Sunday" American.-Colum bia State. And that cari be had in many Southern cities Friday night. Doc Evans, the Columbia State's physician, must have a hard time with some of his pa tients. Not long ago one of them had the jim-jams and wanted Doc to fix him up; and now comes another one who has fleas in his basement! Many papers throughout the South are saying lots of nice things about Mr. William H. Taft, private citizen and one time president of these United States; but my! how they did roast the same man when he was in the presidential chair! While preparing your Christ mas gifts for the poor and war torn orphans of Belgium-who are in a deplorable condition and need our help-don't forget that America has a small army of orphans that also are deserying of your thoughtful considera tion. It is said that Mr. Asa Candler of Georgia will buy a million bales of cotton at 6 cents and hold it for the benefit of the farmer. That sounds good. Now let us hear from some more of our American millionaires and the situation will almost solve itself. For the third time the Hon. Bourke Cochran, gifted orator rand politician, has returned to the Democratic party. But he says he won't stay long-he's only visiting-and that after the war in Europe is over he will return to Teddy and the Bull Moose. _ _ _ _ Here's a hint for our cotton farmers: A decree has been is. sued prohibiting the cultivation of cotton in the upper Egyptian basins in 1915. We think it' will hardly be necessary for a decree to be issued in the cotton-grow ing states of the South, Dnless the farmer issueE it. Speaker of- the national house of represntatives, Hon. Champ Clark, will visit the south this winter and will appear in ly eum courses in several cities. e is a fluent and powerful orator and will prove, no doubt, to be one of the most attractive speakers coming this way in many years. Some people are easily satis fled. Sulzer helped to defeat Slynn in New York and 'the same old Bill" joyfully exclaims: "We win. Without money, without newsipaper support and without organization '1I have elected Whitman, beaten Glynn and made Roosevelt look like 30 ents.'' __ Charleston is mad. Some lun atic has offered to erect a public fountain in the city by the sea to the memory of John Brown as a "'hero and roartyr." A itizen', writing to the News and Dourier, says "the only sort ofi Sbust of John Brown that ought yo be erected in Charleston is one vith a rope around its neck." (5ur rural mail deligery sys em is undoubtedly the best we ver had, and the threat of the ostmaster-general to retdrn to he contract system, it is hoped, vill never materialize. If Mr. 3urleson can offer something etter than the present system,. nU aase ;.bht it lenot pro-I Destruction town deserve the patron :-ommunity They are a t part, of the community. ible portion of the taxes :unty.

As a result many blind tigers have been slain. One man in Anderson was tried and fined $1,000 and an other forfeited a $650 bond. A successful fight is being made on elubs and blind tigers'by the. of ficers in Cherokee county. Pub lic sentiment is growing strong against whiskey - selling law breakers. England has some m o r E trouble. Another rebellion hac broken out in South Africa. The governmxent ,ut down Co lonel Maritz's rebelli6n in thE northern province of Cape Col ony, and now cones anothei one in the Orange Free Stat and Western Transvaal, undei the leadership of General De Wet, who was commandcr-in chief of the forces in the war ir South Africa several years ago. DeWet has b e e n joined by General Beyers. who was also z commanding figure in the i, Boei war. The country seems to be divided in their sympathfes be tween England and Germany. the Boers naturally leaning to ward the Germans. These tw< genealsare' what we of thi south would term "unrecon structed." If this u pr i sin g amounts. to anything it wil] tend to weaken the Allie's fighl against the Kaiser. Secret of Farming Mr. D. F. McConnell. whc lives out on Route 4, in thE Prospect section-which you will be willing to call the "Pros perity" section when you read this story-reports a splendid yield of corn, which he has cultiyated in an entirely new manner. Mr. McConnell, from a piece of ground which meas ures a little less than an acre and a half, has gathered 8,323 pounds of corn, or 101 1-2 bush els, and 991 bundles of fodder, which at prevailing prices is worth $126.25. "The cost of producing this crop." states Mr. McConnell, "including labor and fertilizer, was only $30.30, leav ing a net rofit of $95.95." Mr. M cConnel will make six teen or seventeen bales of cot ton, having already picked twelve. He says. too, that he hauled in twenty large twc orse loads of peavine hay, and in addition to his "pet patch" will make a splended yield of corn and other crops. And all the help he has had was just a boy and himself. "I went-out to farming on the halves in 1912," he says, "and at the end of the year I had about sixteen bushels of corn, '261 bundles of fodder, a bale of cotton seed and a cow. In other words, the results of my first year's farming were a cow and the little feed mentioned, but I was determined to try it further and bought stock. The next year. which was last year, I had splendid luck, making good crops and discovering the secret of the whole business when it comes to farming. If any one should ask you what it is you have my permissiom to tell them it is work--spelled w-o-r-k. -Anderson Mail. Resolutions of Respect Whereas. Brother Frak B.
