HELPING COTTON QR0WERS.
Whatever of good the Southern Cot
ton Association has done for the South
Carolina farmers, it has done without
the active aid of Senators Tillman and
Latimer. Senator Tillman in a luke
warm way commended the Association
in one speech, in Greenville, but com
plained because he was not permitted
to talk politics. It is said that somo of
Senator Tillman's friends regarded the
Association as his political enemy and
that he and they wished to discourage
it. This may not be true but it is cer
tain that the great influence that the
Senator possesses with the farmers,
more than any other man possesses,
has not been brought to bear upon
them in their fight with the Wall street
bears. If the speeches that the Sena
tor made during the spring and summer
in the interest of the South Carolina
grogshop system had been directed to
the building up of the Cotton Associa
tion they would have accomplished
more than those of E. D. Smith, Jor
dan, McLaurin, Weston, Hyatt and
the others have accomplisned?for the
Senator's word upon many farmers
works a magician's spell. But the
Senator chose silence for his part
though he found time to lecturo on
other subjects in other States.
In striking contrast is the conduct of
Governor D. C. Heyward, who has de
voted himself to the expansion of the
cotton warehouse system. Of course
the Governor has gone into the ware
house business to earn money but what
he is doin - is what the Southern Cotton
Association urges ought to be done.?
Nothing can help the cotton growers more
than the perfecting of the warehouse
eystem and it is fortunate that men of
Governor Heyward's character and in
telligence are going into the business.
As for Senator Latimer, we do not
believe that he has the time to fool
with the Cotton Association.
The esteemed Columbia State has
cotton on the brain and wishes the cot
ton growers and the cotton spinners to
"get together" and agree on a selling
and buying price mutually satisfactory
and profitable to both. In other words,
the price is to be fixed before the cot
ton is planted.
This scheme might be practicable in
limited areas. We have heard of mills
in this section which last spring bought
the 1905 crops of some planters in this
vicinity at a price agreed upon, for de
livery after harvest. Possibly, a scheme
might be put into effect by which the
Southern mills could buy a Considerable
part of what they consume. We doubt
if it would last. On the whole, though
The State did not inquire of the Fair
fax Enterprise, the Clinton Gazette and
us, we venture the opinion that the
plan will not work if it be undertaken
on a scale intended to affect the gen
eral market.
However, we wish the planters would
fix a price 10, 11, 12,l.<, 15 or 50 cents,
demand it and get it. While the mills
are going to buy just as cheaply as
they can buy, they will not suffer from
high prices if tne prices stay high. It
is the drunken, staggering, reeling and
stumbling price of cotton, the somer
saulting, crazy, jumping, hopping and
skipping price of cotton, the price that
swells from seven to fourteen cents,
dips to eleven and lifts itself by its own
bootstraps to 17 again, that murders the
sleep of the manufacturer and now and
then causes his fly wheel to burst.
The State will say that its plan is to
bring about an agreement that would
eliminate fluctuations but with the mills
scattered over the whole earth and
those of the South consuming but one
sixth of the Southern crop we think it
is chasing a jack-o-lantern?though its
intentions are good.
Tde people best entitled and best
equipped to fix the price of cotton are
the people who make it. The Cotton
Association started out to do thisjbut one
can no more guess now where Harvie
Jordan will bob up in March 1906 than he
can predict the course of Theodore
Price. Jordan may be right in his es
timate?but, right or wrong, he is sim
ply leading the cotton planters a dance
of speculation -though we do not for a
moment imagine that he is personally
speculating.
From different motives and in differ
ent directions Jordan and Price are
urging the people to guess. Jordan's
motive may be better, is better, but
the effect is the same and one is as
likely to appear right next June as is
the other.
Success of Miss Mary Nance.
Frank C. Dupre, county superin
tendent of education with the able as
sistance of Miss Mary T. Nance, an ac
complished teacher of the Graded
School, organized an Association last
Saturday for the improvement of the
rural schools of Abbeville county. Each
member is pledged to improve one
rural school at least during the year.
The following officers were elected,
to wit: Miss Nance, president; Miss
Edwards, vice president and Miss Flem
ing, secretary. The next meeting
will be at the Graded School building,
Saturday, December 11, 1905 at 11
o'clock A. M.
The movement is a wise one and the
names of the officers are a guarantee
that tho association will result in great
good.? Abbeville Medium.

OAlBTOniA.
This is taken from the Hartford,
Connecticut, Times:
"A valuable flock of 102 aheep owned
by Frank T. Maples of Norwich has
been practically wiped out by dogs.
The Norwich Bulletin reports that other
flocks in that locality have either been
destroyed by dogs or rendered so wild
as to be of little value.
"The problem of the sheep-slaying
dog in Connecticut is a serious one.
Sheep grazing was once an industry of
substantial proportions in this state,
but it has been practically wrecked by
dogs of low degree with an insatiable
appetite for lamb and mutton on their
bill of faro. A source of great possi
ble wealth has been destroyed.
"There ought to be a million sheep
in Connecticut to-day. Many of the
hill farms of the commonwealth are
admirably adapted to this industry. We
have no doubt that except for the dogs
that harrass and harry, sheep would
now be ono of the great agricultural as
sets of the state.
"The problem of eliminating the sheep
slaying carnine and making it possible
for a flock of sheep to graze in the
open without momentary peril of being
slain or worried is perplexing. Perhaps
no solution is available. The situation,
however, is worthy earnest and expert
study, and if measures which will re
sult in the suppression of sheep-killing
dogs and in the revival of a great agri
cultural industry are feasible they can't
be worked out too soon."
With changes of proper names, what
The Times has said would apply with
eqnal accuracy to South Carolina, ex
cept that if Connecticut should have
one million sheep this State should
have four million.
In South Carolina we have the cli
mate, the land and the need for the
sheep. We area sane people?is it not
strange that we prefer valueless dogs
to valuable sheep?
CARGO OF PERUVIAN GUANO.
10,000 Miles With a Cargo of 4,000 Tons
of Peruvian Guano.
After a journey of 10,000 miles, with
4,000 tons of Peruvian guano aboadr,
the British ship Coya, Capt. Thomas, |
put into this port early yesterday morn
ing and is now discharging her cargo at
the Columbus street wharf.
Capt. Thomas is well known among
the seafaring men of this city. A few
years ago he came to Charleston in a
vessel loaded with Peruvian guano, and
on the deck was a thick coating of vol
canic ashes, which had been accumu
lated in passing Mount Pelee, Isle of
Martinque, while in eruption just after
the destruction of St. Pierre.
The present cargo is consigned to the
Coe-Mortimcr Company. The cargo
will be discharged at the dock and will
at once be put into 200-pound bags
made by the Royal Bag and Yarn Fac
tory, of this city, and will be ready for
shipment immediately after the bags
are sewed up securely.
Peruvian guano is generally regarded
as one of the most valuable fertilizers
on the market and ranks very high
among farmers and gardeners of this
and other States.
When the hatches of the Coya were
opened yesterday the oder of anmonia
was very strong. Last spring, when a
vessel loaded with Peruvian guano v/as
in port, it became necessary to supply
the men below with air through a long
funnel, and even then it was necessary
to bring the men to the deck every few
minutes; the hot weather prevailing at
that time augmented the discomfort of
the men below. With cold weather, \
however, it is thought that the cargo
can be discharged without discomfort
to the laborers.
As is well known, Peruvian guano is
brought from islands about 40 miles off
the coast of Peru, South America. Hun
dreds of thousands of pelicans, sea
gulls and other sea birds subsist in that
vicinity, and when night falls they
roost on these barren isles. For count
less years these immense flocks of birds
have been roosting and nestling on these
islands and the accumulated excreta is
now very deep, so deep in fact that it
is dug out like coal.
In attempting to convey some idea of
the multitudes of sea birds that live in
the vicinity of these barren isles, one
writer says, "their number is legion;
they completely cloud the sun when
they rise from their resting place in the
morning in flocks of miles in length."
The pelican, like the pigeon, builds
his second nest on the remains of the
first, and the young add to the deposit.
For years and years these inconceivably
large flocks of sea birds have been
nesting, roosting and dying on these
islands, and ships are bearing the guano
to every part of the world. In the
guano one frequently sees petrified
eggs, bones of sea birds, feathers, egg
shells and other reminders of the birds.
Capt. Thomas said yesterday that
one could not form any idea of the
number of birds that roost nightly on
these islunds unless one actually saw
them as they came there in the eve
ning.
It would seem that nature herself un
derstood something of the value of these
deposits, and that she has done what
she could to preserve them. Rain never
falls in that part of the country. In the
past sixteen years only once has the
rain descended. So none of the guano
is washed into the sea. The birds live
almost altogether on fish, and when
they catch a denizen of the deep, they
i carry him to an island and there devour
him. In this way the fish-scrap becomes
a part of the deposit and is one of the
valuable ingredients of the fertilizer.
I Mr. Edmund Mortimer, of Coe-Morti
rner Company, recently visited the is
lands himself nnd gives interesting ac
counts of the birds and their move
ments. Capt. Thomas stated yesterday
afternoon that the deposits arc by no
means exhausted. He said that his cargo
came from an isle that had never been
touched save once. He left the isles on
September 18 and encountered good
weather during the voyage. He said
that when he left Valparaiso probably
one-third of the population was smitten
with small-pox, though none of the
better class were afflicted with the dis
ease. His voyage was a successful and
pleasant one, and his bill of health is
clean. Several days will elapse before
the cargo is discharged. ? News and

A LAURENS CASE.
Many More Like It In Laurens.
The following case is but one of many
similar occuring daily in Laurens. It is
an easy matter to verify its correct
ness. Surely you cannot ask for bet
ter proof than such conclusive evidence:
Lee Bishop, of Laurens, S. C. pro
?rietor of a general store, on Mill St.,
"actory Hill, says: "I can from ex
perience recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills. My back and kidneys have given
me great trouble for a long t' ne, not
only costing me untold misv y, but
costing me a great many dollars. There
was a dull toothache like pain con
stantly across the small of my back
and after sitting for a bit I could
scarcely get up. Sharp shooting pain
sometimes ran down to iir.it one knee
and then another, and I never knew
when it was going to strike me. The
secretions from the kidneys were too
frequent in action and disturbed my
night rest so that I would arise in the
morning feeling worse than I did the
night before. I tried numerous reme
dies, but did not get any positive relief
from anything until I learned about
Doan's Kidney Pills and procured them.
The next day after using them I felt
better, and I continued taking them
until the kidney secretions become regu
lar. I could go bed and get a good
night's rest, and the aching in my back
disappered.
