HUMAN STOMACH HAS BECOME DEGENERATE Animals Are Healthier Because of Strong Digestive Apparatus. An interesting interview was re cently obtained with L. T. Cooper, the young man whose theory and medi cines have created such a sensation during the past year. Mr. Cooper, in speaking of the re markable success of his medicine, had this to say on the subject: “My medi cine regulates the stomach. That is why it is successful. The human stom ach today has become degenerate, and is the cause for most ill health. In the horse, the dog, and the wild ani mals generally, you see no nerve ex haustion, no chronic debility. They are not shut up day after day with practically no exercise, and they are not able to stuff themselves with food when their bodies have not had enough work to justify it. The human race has been doing this for years, and look at the result—half the people are complaining of poor health, not real illness—just a half-sick, tired, droopy feeling. They don't really know what is the matter with them. “I know that all the trouble is caused by weak, overworked stom achs. I have proved this with my medicine to many thousands of peo ple in most of the leading cities of this country. I expect to do the same thing in Europe next year. This is the real reason for the demand for my preparation.” Among those who have recently been converted to Cooper’s theory is Mr. Monroe Brown of 8 Hancock Street, Winchester, Mass. Mr. Brown has this to say of his experience with the new medicine: "For over seven years I suffered with catarrh of the stomach, and for the past year I was lame with rheumatism. I attributed this to my stomach trouble, as my cir culation was very poor. What food I ate would turn to gas almost at once. I would have a sensation of bloating, and would have to belch frequently to relieve this. My heart also became affected, and I would suddenly become dizzy and have palpitations. I was tired and dull and despondent at all times. I lost a great deal of flesh, and was nervous and depressed. This went on for over seven years, although I spent hundreds of dollars trying to get relief. “When Cooper was In Boston I heard a good deal about his ideas on stomach trouble. Next, one or two friends told me that his medicines had greatly helped them. I purchased some of the New Discovery medicine. Today I am perfectly well; I sleep like a boy, can eat anything and have no rheumatism or heait trouble. I no longer have any gas on my stomach, and feel as I did years ago. No one could be more astonished by these facts than myself. They are remark* able, hut true. This Is indeed a won* derful medicine.” The Cooper preparations have been more widely sold and discussed since being introduced than anything of the kind ever before sold by druggists. We sell them and explain their nature. —Gaffney Drug Co. Colored Teachers State Meeting. The colored teachers hold their yearly State meeting at Benedict College, Coiumbia. December 30 and 31.

All ye that have a comfortable seat on your cotton just sit still and wait, for the game has been won just so soon as the count is in and the chaps get the ciish to pay in. That bluff that has been passsing the rounds in the papers about the Texas merchants resoluting about not furnishing cotton growers more supplies unless they sign a contract to turn their cotton loose just as soon ag.the cotton is ginned, sounds like a grower was just being made to sell his cotton anyway, whether he paid his hills or not. The selling of the cotton is the main paint in that bluff. It is now in order for the Texas farmers to get together and pass resolutions not to sign away them selves to any such a proposition of slavery as these merchants offer them. But on the contrary to pass resolutions to pin their faith and busi ness to those that have proven them selves to he friends to farmers in this trying hard fight and stick to your friends chat have.stood by you in this the toughest fight for right that the Southern farmer has ever won, and win he will.

W)e had better cut acreage in cot ton next year than to undertake a large crop again, which is sure to weaken your strength by growing more cotton than you are able to hold for profitable prices. Never once think you can grow more cotton than the trade will be eager for at profitable prices to the growe r and load up with an over production of unsalable cotton at profitable prices, unless you are one among that rare elass of fanners that are able to put in the necessary ad ditional capital to grow another crop while you carry over this surplus or unprofitable crop for better prices! Commence now and prepare your selves for trouble again next year in another form. Be on the stiff side and never again hind yourselves over under the burden of debt that ties your liberty and freedom in the hands of your enemies. Do not un dertake the job of acting the fool yourself and then expect some one else to pay fop it.

Here are a few things that the de legates should keep in mind: first. Wfhat is the object of this meeting? If the call is made for the purpose of reorganizing in order to restore peace and harmony in the Union, we must not forget the fact that we met in Greenwood only five months ago for that same purpose, and if w f e failed to satisfy ourselves at the July meeting what assurance have we that the December meeting will give better satisfaction to all the membership than the July election did at that time? The majority vote carried in July and. if it does not rule in December, we are sure of the fact that the De cember meeting will not satisfy' the membership. We must not forget the fact that when we criticize our action at the July meeting that we criticize the action of the majority of the delegates there, and that these delegates represented the large majori ty of the membership of the State union at that time. Therefore about the only plausible and reasonable excuse for calling this special meeting, only five months after we met In July, may be In giv ing the new members who have come in since July the opportunity of par ticipating in casting the votes that choose the managers for the next j seven months. But some may say that the act of joining the union un der the leadership of-the present offi cers was equivalent to an endorse ment of the present, officials of the union. At best this December meet- | ing cannot he called anything else I but a kind of revolution or revolt at ! our own actions. Our constitution that was adopted to guide the action I of the union hag not guided the ac tion of some of our officials hut lit tle more than the curl In a pig’s tail controls or guides the movements of the pig’g nose, i trust that when the union does meet again that the dele gates will not he in haste; but will he very deliberate, conservative and reasonable in their actions, and that every member of the convention should he called on to hold up his pledge to abide by the rule of the ma jority vote and ail go back home with renewed determination to work only for the Union of the whole and disregard personal interest, and then peace and harmony will reign. Panic Proof. Financial 4 panics may come in all thei r force, destruction and woe, Sleet, snow, winter rains and fierce storms may blow. But the farmer who grows his farm supplies at home, can sit still, live off of his home-made supplies whilst he may wait for three pestilential storms to pass away without even entering his gate. Credit is something like an edged tool, If you use it too much in rough places it will become dull. I>ow priced cotton and high-priced ferti lizer noteqj corn. Hour, bacon and other hills are rough things to think about in this connection. Cheer up. farmers, all you that are feeling blue, just go and call on some real good farmer who has plenty of home grown supplies at bis house and watch him go right along, working, eating, feeding his animals on home stuff and attending to his own affairs hist the same as if a New York panir had not come to pass. That is the kind of farmer that is worthy of the name, '‘Independent fa rmer.” To the Memebers of fhe F- E- & C- U. of A-. South c ar °lma Division.

The greatest drawback to the hog industry which breeders In this coun try have to contend with is what is known as “hog cholera” and “swine plague.” Hog cholera is a highly contagious disease and unless checked is liable to carry off a great number of hogs In a very short time. Mr. A. P. Williams, of Bumetts Creek, Ind., tells of an experience he had with some hogs that had the cholera. “Five years ago,” says Mr. Williams, "I was In the employ of Mr. J. D. Richardson, Lafayette, Ind., as his barn foreman. Some fine hogs that I was feeding took the cholera. I gave them Sloan’s Liniment and did not lose a hog. Some were so bad they would not drink sweet milk and I was compelled to drench them. I have tried it at every opportunity since and always find It O.
