THE NEW ORLEANS COTTON CONGRESS. Annual Meeting of the Southern Cotton Association Was Held Last Week in the Crescent City. With a large attendance of delegates and representatives from all the cotton growing States the Southern Cotton Association was in annual session in New Orleans three days of last week, adjourning without date Saturday af ternoon. Before final adjournment President Harvie Jordan congratulated the Con vention on the successful manner in which it had prepared its work. Mr. Jordan was reelectcd president and Mr. Cheatham, secretary of the Southern Cotton Association. The Cotton Warehouse system already inaugurated is to receieve more attention this year, with the view of extending and perfecting the plan. Chairman Hancock rcported for the finance committee. It provided for dues of 10 'cents per bale, allowing 20 per cent, to the national fund, 30 per cent to the State fund and the remain der to the county fund. The executive committee was requested to employ Hon. E. D. Smith as national organ izer to more completely organize the various States, his salary to be fixed by the committee. The report was adopted. W. P. Shinault of Mississippi, chair man of the committee on acreage re duction, reported favoring the reduc tion of acreage 25 per cent, from that planted in 1904. As there were planted 32,000,000 acres of cotton in 1904, this would mean that the Southern Cotton Association is in favor of planting but 24,000,000 acres of cotton, this year. The report was unanimously adopted. A resolution by John D. Walker was adopted that all uidders of spot cotton be requested by the Southern Cotton Association to sign a binding pledge to sell their cotton at 15 cents a pound if through the efforts of the association it reaches that price. Women love a clear, healthy com plexion. Pure blood makes it. Burdock Blood Bittei-s makes pure blood. FOR A CALHOUN STATUE. Efforts Being Made for This Purpose by King's Mountain Chapter, D. A. R. To The Editor of The Advertiser: We, the undersigned, representing the King's Mountain Chapter, D. A. R., Yorkville, S. C, wish to call your at tention, and that of your readers to a work which we have inaugurated, and in which we beg your cordial help and cp-operation. It has long been a source of regret and mortification that South Carolina has no representative in the National Statuary Hall of the Capitol at Wash ington. "This statuary room was the old Hall of Representatives; it was the scene of the debates of Webster and Clay, Adams, Calhoun and others, whose names are indelibly associated with the history of Congress. In 18G4, at the suggestion of Senator Morrill, of Vermont, the room was set apart as a National Statuary Hall, to which each State might send the effigies of two of her chosen sons, in marble or bronze, to be placed permanently here. No South Carolinian ever views those stately statues, erected by practically all the Stales of the Union in memory of their "chosen sons," without won dering why our own place has been so long empty, and wishing that we, too, could point with pride to a representa tive occupying the apace allotted to South Carolina. The King's Mountain Chapter is de sirous of stavtihg a movement to rem edy this long standing neglect. We have written to every woman's organ ization in the State, asking them to join us in petitioning the Legislature to appropriate at the present session, the sum of $25,000 (twenty-five thousand dollars,) for the purpose of erecting a statue of John C. Calhoun in the Na tional Statuary Hall in the Capitol at Washington. We regard Calhoun as South Carolina's most representative man; he was for forty years the most conspicuous and influential figure in national politics; he was Representa tive, Senator, Secretary of War, Sec retary of State and Vice President. Wi do hope that you will give us your support and help in this work. We wish, throughyour paper, to "appeal to every South Carolinian, man and woman, to honor this draft upon your patriotism, and to beg them to respond to the effort we are making to nave our beloved State take her rightful place in the halls of the nation. We shall be exceedingly obliged if you will give this letter a place in the columns of your paper. Very respectfully yours, Mrs. Virginia Mason Bratton, Miss Maggie A. Gist, Miss Leslie D. Witherspoon, Mrs. S. M. McNcel, Mrs. G. H. O'Leary, Mrs. Walter B. Moore, Regent. Yorkville. S. C, Jan. 10. FFDERAL BUILDING FOR ANDERSON.

Washington, Jan. 18?The president to-day sent to the senate the nomina tion of Ernest P. Cochran, of Anderson to be United States attorney for South Carolina, thereby displacing John G. Capers, against whom charges were filed before the department of justice. The matter will create a sensation in South Carolina. The charges were in vestigated by Attorney General Moody, who decided it would be better not to recommend Capers' reappointment. The attorney general had his atten tion called to the conduct of some cases in South Carolina and came to the con clusion that their management was open to criticism. Mr. Cochran was not a candidate for United States attorney. He was at one time assistant attorney under Capers, but resigned some time ago. His ap pointment to succeed Capers will make him likely a candidate for United States judge of the new district. It has not been decided who will suc ceed Capers as patronage dispenser in South Carolina. Cochran is not inclined to want to attend to thnt work. Congressman Wyatt Aiken of the Third district says he is responsible for the investigation of Mr. Capers' con duct and his consequent displacement for the reason that he did not think Mr. Capers a proper man for the position.

TWO SPARTANBURG EDITORS. The Herald and The Journal Engage New Men. Spartanburg, Jan. 17.?It is an inter esting coincidence that Spartanburg's two dailies have new editors, each en tering on his new duties yesterday. Mr. C. O. Hearon, of Bristol, Tenn-Va., formerly managing editor of the Bris tol Herald, has assumed charge of the Spartanburg Herald as editor. He suc ceeds Mr. H. L. Watson, who recently resigned.

He is cordially greeted on all sides on his return to the city, where he has lived for 13 years in the past. Ho was the first editor of the Herald. In addition to securing Mr. Garlington's services The Journal has made other improvements of an important nature, increasing the size of the paper to a seven-column, eight-page sheet of at tractive neatnesss and interest. Protect Your Cotton Bales. Orte of the very best results of the Southern Cotton Association is the en couragement of the farmer to patronize cotton warehouses. The farmer should not leave his cotton without shelter. The deterioration in cotton which is left exposed to the weather is much greater than has been supposed. This loss must of necessity fall on the farmer. When the farmer holds his cotton back in order to get a hotter average price, it becomes very important to have it well housed. The cost of warehousing is cheap as compared with the loss by rotting or weakening when exposed for a long time to the weather. Greenville News. A Surprise Party.

Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 17. ? J. R. Peden, a real estate dealer of Green ville, S. C, is in jail in this city charged with contempt of court in violating an injunction of the chancery court issued against him several days ago in a bill filed against him by the Brookside mills of this city seeking to restrain him from further attempts in enticing the employes of the mill to Columbia; S. C, and other mills in that State. It was claimed that he represented the Clinton cotton mills. He denies having violated the injunction though adding that he had already shipped a number of mill families from this city and ex pects to ship others next Monday. He claims that he has boon falsely impri soned and has retained counsel to bring suit for damages. He has carded this city with posters asking for mill help, offering better wages and belter living quarters and cheaper house rents. He claims that the white mill people do not live so well as the South Carolina negroes. The scarcity of mill labor in South Carolina, he says, is due to the fact that hundreds of the employes have gone to raising cotton because of the high price of that staple. 4 Gals. L. & M.

Austin from the Chestnut Ridge Sunday School. "For her to live is Christ, to die is gain." Could any higher eulogy he passed on any one? These words were spoken of our dearly beloved sister in Christ, Mrs. W. N. Austin, by one of the attendant ministers at her funeral. Though a faithful member of the Presbyterian church, she was a zealous worker in the Chcsnut Ridge Baptist church of which her husband is a mem ber; being a teacher of a class of boys and girls who will ever hold in sacred memory her words of instruction. One of the first principles of Christi anity was beautifully illustrated in her character, that of self-denial. Her life indeed was very Christ-like;going about so gently, quietly, speaking words of kindness, good cheer and encourage ment. Scattering .sunshine, doing deeds of love and mercy to all seemed to be her mission on earth. Being specially fond of children, she naturally drew them to her. Her face would brighten whenever a child appeared, and happy were the children who came under tier wondrous influence. Not only the child ren, but everyone fortunate enough to know her, could not but feel the desire of leading a higher, nobler, better life; for it was an inspiration to look Into her peaceful face, which glowed with that divine love, with which her heart was filled. Like a pure, beautiful (lower, she was too frail and delicate for the storms of this life. So God whispered "Come," and she who was an ardent lover of the beautiful has gone to be with her Heavenly Father in that beautiful city above. Gone, yes, but not forgotten, for she left the sweet fragrance of a Christian life that will ever linger in the hearts of those who loved her. Miss Bessie Hudobns. Miss CLARA Watts. NOTICE.

Donn's Kidney Pills Have Done Great Service for People Who Work in Laurens. Most'Laurens people work every day in some strained, unnatural position ? bending constantly over a desk?riding on jolting wagons or cars?doing labori ous housework; lifting, reaching or pull ing, or trying the back in a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they fall behind in their work of filtering the poisons from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in bad backs. Lau rens cures prove it. J. II. Odcll, of Factory Hill, Hill Mill hand, says: "I have been suffer ing from backache for a long while. At times I could not work on account] of the aching across the small of my ] back and the dull pain gave me no rest day or night. 1 could not stand straight and if I sat for a bit and attempted to arise I had to catch hold of something to pull myself up. The secretions from the kidneys were very red, full of sedi ment and got like a jelly after they stood for a while. I could not retain them any length of time and had to rise often at night. I tried several highly recommended remedies and used liniments, but nothing did me any good until I got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at the Palmetto Drug Co. and used them according to directions. They gave relief almost at once and since using them the kidney secretions have gotten clear and natural and I do not have to get up at nights as I used to, while the backache has all left me."
