A peculiar manifestation of the times is that several men of intelligence have seriously advised farmers to burn cot ton in orde/* to elovato the price. The proposition is too absurd to discuss. It Is to bo booed that in nn individual case will any cotton be burned. Of courso it tcoms insanity to liuaglue that any Urge number of farmers could bo prevailed upon to destroy cotton and unless a million or so ba!o3 wore destroyed tho price would not be af feotcd. The only danger is that some weak men may bo led astray here and thoro by these honest but most de luded dreams. Wc do not advise farnn-rs to reduce tho acreage in cotton next year. We do advise them to plant more corn and 6tnaT grain and provender crops every year. We urge now as wo have always urged that the farmers produce all they consume?so far as It oan be pro duced in this climate and on this soil. When tho Southern fa-mers act on this principle the cotton acreage wil necessarily be reduced. Io other words, the present proportion of cot'on ncre age on the average farm Is such that other crops cannot be cultivated as they should be. It Is not true that the Southern farmer can produce cotton acd I uy Western grain cheaper than he can raise it even though cotton bring 10 or 1? cents tho pound. Here Is tho rea son. Suppose a femur plant nothing but cotton. His hands and his s'oek will bo very busy at certain times. Ex cept when the cotton fields demand hoeing, plowing or picking Ills hands and stock will be idle. Every minute that his hands, his stock and himself arc idlo brings loss, just as that cotton mill on the hill yonuer is 1. sing money every minute that its machinery is not running. Corn cultivated at times when cotton cannot bo cultivated is therefore all profit?every bushel of it. Consequently, the problem to the farmer, just as it is to the manufactu rer or met chant, is to keep his labor and plant busy all the time. He should produce cotton as his money crop but ho should not lot it bo a "top-heavy" crop. He should map out a plan that wonld permit him to produce cotton but his cotton fields should not be so largo that he wou'd be required to neglect his corn, pea, barley, alfalfa and pindar fields when they called for a little attention. The man who has brains enough to make his farm an "all round" farm, producing many things and keeping his hands and his mules at work on all working days is the man who is going to own this country. Such men alivady own most of it. Wo have pointed out a hundred times that this country affords a mar ket for beef, mutton, poultry, vegeta bles, grains of all kind?, fruit, oggs milk and butter and a hundred other things, all of which can be produced easily hore in Laurens. One may cal culate that corn may bo produced at 15 cents the bushel in Iowa and that it costs HO cents the bushel here and that thcreforo ho cannot compete with the Iowa man. That Is plausible. But if the man hore has the land and the idlo land and mules to produce corn, that corn cists him nothing whatever The Iowa farmer cannot sell corn in competition with him. So the way to reeluco the cotton acre ugo is to increase the acreage in other crops that uro equally as valuable as cotton whon a loss of time and stoppage of work would follow from not produc ing them. It is foolish and wrong to advise the reduction of tho acroage in cotton If that reduction is to involve an increase in id oness. Beyond Ills Krach. Wo observe that a number of our contemporaries are reprinting an arti cle from a cheap magazine in which the discovery is announced that Ken Ti.lman has a ' gentler aide." Our recollection is that this was the first sido of Tillman's nature that be came known in these parts. Fourteen years ago this fellow began to slander people in a disorderly manner. Two or throe or four gentlemen at dlfforent times "called him down" and Benja min ''came down" as quietly as any lemb. After that high-minded men who had regard for their reputations for personal courage coased to consider that the outpouring of calumnies from Ben Tillman's mouth wero worthy of notico in which they were right. Nioan while, with all his advancement and national cotorict/, to which tho pos Fo-sioncf considerable la'ent entitles him,Tillman has never been able to enru tho rospect of thoss South Caro linians who m:asuro do'.Icately ques tions of private honor and which he los* by his indulgence in blackguard ism. Wo inspect tiiat Tillman would joyfully resign his place in the Sonate today and "throw away ambition" If by to doing ho could obtain in icturo u placo in tho ostoem of South Caro linians such as the late General Hump ton or Judge Simpson bold. Of course there are many good men who like Tillman and admire him and yet there are feme thousands who treat him po litely and feel for blm only contempt. Wc all know that Senator Tillman ?'loves flowers" acd we know that his domestic nnd fami'y life are wholly admirable """^genator Tillman is not a coward. It *- -*me to utter wholesale state jh he knew could not be ir n . \it was not a part of the W. W. Ball, Proprietor. game for bim to fight the men whom it was necessary, for the sake of his of fice getting, for him to wrong iuo'. dentally. Had he fought all the men whom he wantonly insulted in 1800 and who resented the insults he would have been killed 100 times or els? would have oonverled a good-sized plantation into a private grave-yard. We have never thought that tho Sena tor had less courage than tho average healthy nun?or more. Of course, when ho abused gentlemen and ro tated to "make good" it cost him the respect of a great many gentlemen. Fifteen years ago, when ho was an oh some politician and ndventurer ho did not care for the opinion of the men allied with what he called the "ring rule" crowd but now, when he has had for years, the State's highest political honors, there are signs that ho hun gers with a quenchless thirst for the rewards that belong to all thoso who bear themselves with gentle dignity and courtosy and speak with a clean tongue only the simplo truth. In the naturo of things theso will he denied him even though larger politi cal preferment come to him. ? Vices of the Sexes. Why doos woman reform man so much moro than ho reoiprocatoJ1? Even if she leads no axe crusades against sa loons, sho is preoccupiod with keeping him from drink, and her checks upon his flagrant tendency to vice are of in estimable valuo in the long-drawn-out business of differentiating humanity favorably from his arboreal cousins of the jungle. Woman's opinion and pro test are powerful against all the male's favorite vices, and also aga'ust his mero brutalities. Who has not ob served a woman s'opplng two b^ys from Oghting on the street, when they wished to tight, and all tho surround ing crowd of smiling men desired that thfy should light. Mau d:es i ot re cipooate. He lets the corset take its deadliest couivo. Ho even accepts bustles whon they aro in fashion. He says nothiog to iaco stockiofrs and low slippers, to excess of pereonal gossip, or to the elaborato alarm with which his women friends view domestic cows and mice. Ho pays for the sweet con coctions with which females destroy their teeth and interior machinery at most other times as well as at mati nees.?Collier's Weekly. A CONTINUAL STRAIN. Many men and women are constantly subjected to what they commonly term "a continual st*ain" because of some financial or family trouble. It wears and distresses thorn both mentally and fihysleally, affecting thoir nerves bad y and bringing on liver and kidney ailments, with the attendant evi's of constipation, loss of appetite, sleepless ness, low vitalltv and despondency They cannot, as a rule, get rid of this "continual strain," but they can reme dy its health destroying effects by tuk ing frequent doses of Green's August Flower, ft tones up tho liver, stimu lates tho kidneys, insures hcilthy bod ily functions, gives vim and spirit to one's whole being, and eventually dis pels the physical or mental distress caused by that "continual strain."

The Nowberry Herald and News last Friday contained the following an nouncement which is of special interest to Laurens where Rev. snd Mrs. Hum bert are so well known, tho former be ing a native of the county: Tho Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Humbert havo decided to lecato in Newbarry, and their decision Is welcomed by many friends here. Mr. Humbert has boon a member of tho South Carolina conference for foitylivo year.*, during which time ho haj scrv3d congregations In every part of the state. Ho has never missed a roll-cr.ll at a meeting of j the general or district conference. Mr. Humbert has met with marked success throughout in his ministerial work. Mrs. Humbert is a member of the Woman's Foreign Missionary society, which was organized in Newberry In 1878. At that meeting sho was elected corresponding secretary of thai body, a position which she has Wied continuously over since, ami sho will continue to work in that capacity. Mrs. Humbert is a daughtor of tho late Gen eral U. H. Klnard, of Newborry. Mr. Humbert takes the superannu ated relation to the confererce, and if ho improves in health will likoly join tbo conference in another year or so. NO REASON FOR IT. When Citizens Show the Way.
