Furniers* Union Bureau of Information. ?Conducted by the? South Carolina Farmers' Educational and Co-Operative Union. Communications intended for this department should be addressed to J. C. Stribbling, Pendleton, S. C. Our Cotton on Hand. Our efforts in these columns has'been chiefly directed towards checking, if possible, the increase of acreage by silly farmers in cotton; we have not thought it necessary to give any ad vice here to the farmers now holding thoir cotton. These are men of busi ness, and are'usually men with suffi cient grit, pluck and financial backing to carry their points and know what thoy are about. The cotton holders that now have this matter in hand are about as good financiers, and have abont as much collateral and backing behind them as the bear element have. Cotton holders know now that about all the scary holders have been shaken out, and that the cotton bear Ls now up against the real stuff. Spot holders are well aware of the fact that the spinner has got to have about all the cotton before the next crop comes in, and it matters not whether the next crop will be a small or a large crop. ? The thing is this, the mills must run or tho walking mobs that are parading the streets of the foreign manufactur ing cities calling for work or bread will wage riot. Stopping the mills under such conditions would be equivalent to striking a match in a powder house. Hold your holt, boys, and make them come over! The Signs of ^the Times. If we are not badly deceived in the signs of the times, farmers that do not heed the warnings of the Farmers' Union and plant more food crops now, they will be running around next Fall wanting everybody's advice about how to buy $20.00 a ton peavine hay and $1.00 a bushel corn with 6 cents cotton! Our big supply men, and mule men, too, had better butt in this thing at once along with the Farmers' Union in their efforts to induce farmers to plant more food crops and less cotton, or the game next winter will be nip and tuck between these men and the buzzards as to who will get the most revenue out of this mule mortgage business. A good deal is being said recently about live stock associations in each of the counties of the State, which will be a good thing if our farmers will take to them, and instead of bragging about selling peavine hay and other food crops, they will raise and feed more stock and take care of the manure, they need not be howling any longer about the guano trust! Our Farmers' Unions should take to this live stock idea like young ducks take to water; it is the natural thing to do and right along the straight road to the permanent building up of the up-to date progressive idea of the independ ent farmer of the South. All our Farmers' Unions should be each in itself a good live stock associa tion, and talk more about raising more and better stock and talk less about raising more cotton. Well Worth Trying. W. II.

An unusually interesting meeting of the County Teachers' Association was held in the Court House Saturday at noon. The attendance was very good and the topics discussed elicited enthu siastic interest. The subject of teaching the Bible in school, the first topic included in the programme, was discussed by Profs. W. P. Culbertson, H. B. Dominick, Su perintendent N. M. Salley and Miss Emma Dial. During the discussion of the subject, it was ascertained that fifteen out of the twenty odd teachers present teach the Bible in their schools. The feature of Saturday's meeting was a most admirable paper, prepared and read by Mr. It. E. Babb, one of the most prominent young lawyers of the city and a member of the County Board of Education, giving a biogra phical sketch of Henry Laurens, for whom Laurens county was named. Mr. Babb's sketch will be published in The Advertiser next week, per haps. Boyd's Cough and Cold Mixture will cure that hacking cough. Has cured in cases where others have failed.

After a Pastorate of Thirty Years Fall ing Health Causes Resignation. Ncwberry, March 2G. ? Dr. E. P. Mc Clintock has resigned tho pastorate of Thompson Street A. It. P. Church, the resignation to take effect at once. The reason of the resignation is the doctor's continued ill health. It was hoped by himself ^nd his congregation when he was given a vacation that his health would be restored soon, but these hopes have not been realized, and helms felt it necessary to send in his resigna* tion, which will be acted on at a con gregational meeting on Sunday morn ing. Dr. McClintock has been pastor of this Church for about thirty years and his congregation arc strongly at tached to him. The whole community join with them in the regret that their pastor finds it necessary to lay down his work and join in the hope that lie may be restored to health. Dr. McClin tock and family are still in Columbia. ADVERTISED THEIR TRADE. Cltlllnir of Professional Blen OtlrO Tola i?> Their Dreita. "Professional men do some things better than they used to." droned an attorney who doesn't practice If bo can help It. "That Is," ho went on to explain, "professional men don't do some things they once did, and I think they're the better for It. There was a time, when I was growing up, when they advertis ed their calling by means of their dress. You could pick out a clergy* man as far as you could see him, and It was much the same with lawyers. Nowadays preachers and pleaders wear raiment which makes them look like prosperous business men or high toned sports, and they seem t?? be more approachable and companionable, whether they are or not, "But the greatest change In this re spect has taken place among the phy sicians, not so much their clothes, per haps, as their manner. I can romembor when the Old fashioned doctor entered a sickroom you felt that the jig was up, even if you were suffering from noth ing more serious than a scratched ear, and you were sorry you hadn't led a better life. He'd tiptoe in with a face that reached from his forehead to his knees, clear his throat, whisper to moth er, take out his Match, feel for your pulse and gaze gloomily into space?the spaclest, farthest away space ever. Then he'd whisper to mother again, write a prescription and steal out. " 'Is there no hope?' 1 used to ask mother. "However, as I said, that's all ?ono by.

A Problem For People Willi Kven Very Shni'it lOyen. Hero Is a problem for people with sharp eyes: As wo all know, a horse when walking or trotting advances only one leg of each pair at a time, but when galloping lifts both forefeet to gether and then both hind feet. Now, the question Is how other animals man age this matter. The birds, of course, flap both wings together, but which birds run and which hop? Wo human beings "trot" when we walk and "gal lop" when we swim?that is, if we are using the plain breast stroke. Thodog, however, "trots" for both. Now, do the amphibious animals?tho seals, ot ters and tho rest- swim like men or i like other four footed creatures? Then there are tho (Isll. One would rather expect that, as they move their tails from side to side, they would flap alternately with the tins, which are their hands and feet. Who call tell whether they do or not, and whether all fish at all times follow one rule? By the way, how does a frog use Its "hands';" The great anatomist, K. Hay Lankoster, has pointed out that, whllo tho "thousand legs," such as our com mon galley worm, advance two fee, of a pair together, the ccntlpcds, which are much like them, do exactly the op posite, and the swimming worms also alternate the stroko of each pair of paddles. Few pcoplo can tell on which system the caterpillar manages its dozen or so legs or whether the adult insect walks, trots, paces or gallops on its six. How does the spider use eight'/ Altogether, this is a large field for observation, a held, too, where any one may discover new facts as yet unrecorded, and thus add to the store of knowledge.

Serpent worship and the propitiation of snake divinities, which once spread all over Asia, still maintain a tena cious hohl on the little native states of Cochin and Trnvancore, on the south* west coast of India, Here Hindoos high and low revere tho cobra as they did a thousand years ago, and it Is con sidered a heinous crime to injure the reptile or neglect its interests, In the district of Travancoro alone there are between 10,000 and 20,000 shrines dedicated exclusively to the W*Or8hlp Of SUakCS which POSSOSS ex tensive and valuable properties for their maintenance and for the cost of the ceremonies which the keepers have to perform from tiino to lime. In these shrines the Hindoos set down fantastic idols of serpents on a stono base, and the shrine is protected by ;i mud wall. Householders to assure their welfare should make offerings of dough, milk and cooked rice to the Bcr pertlno habitues of the shriii" and place lights and chant hymns in order to be assured of their favor. Every morning the king and queen of the serpents are bathed, and fruit and milk are offered to them, to be followed at noon by cooked rice and fried grain. On certain days the idols in gi'OVO and household temple nro carried in pro cession to the house, where propitia tory offerings are made. The presiding functionary must bo the eldest female member of the family, who has to prac tice celibacy from the day she attains the position. At famous Blinke festivals at Travan coro pious folk gather from all parts to join in the worship, bl'luglug offer ings of gold, silver, grain, popper, spices, oil. sandalwood, silk and other things. The cost of the festivals is de frayed by tho revenues of iho paddy fields ami gardens attached to tho shrines it is believed that unless the ceremonies are conducted with rever ence tin? largest cobras of tho prove will come out and .-.how themselves to the members of the house. The na tives also believe that snake bites in the neighborhood ol these shrines nev er prove fatal. Be that as il may, deaths from snake bites sire very rare, though many groves contain as many as thirty cobras and the shrines in Tra vnncoro number between fifteen and ? twenty thousand. The snakes of India are rarely ag gressive, but generally keep to them selves, and. beim;-so kindly treated and benevolently attended, it is not aston ishing that they become docile and harmless. All over Travancoro tho peo ple when they see a snake approaching say, "The god I? coming," and make way for the divinity. Children play fearlessly about the groves while their , serpentine friends are gliding about or basking in the sun and have never been known to be harmed. When tho groves become overrun with serpents the sur plus population is removed and sent to other shrines, certain pious Brahmans ! being especially applied to for this pur pose.?New York Herald.

Dr. Oliver Tonks in tho Outlook Mag azine Bhows tbo difficulties of distin guishing real from spurious antiquities. Hero Is one of bis anecdotes: At times the forger Is content to take ancient fragments of ancient vases or statuettes rnd complete them with clay or plaster of parts. These new "old" wares he then paints up and passes to tho unsuspecting, and sometimes sus pecting, purchaser as real antiques. The story is told of a forger in Athens that he protested that when he bad fin ished "improving" an antique bo him self could not always tell where the genuine part ceased and the false be gan. Under such circumstances it may not be woudered that at times even experts are tricked. Tho following Incident shows how forgeries turn up in very unexpected places: Ono hot. day a party of US were toiling up a steep ascent in tho island of Melos when wo saw above us a j number of (J reeks seated on a parapet of ruins. We bad been cruising long enough among the ?Sgeau islands to know that these people of tho place had B< on our ship drop anchor in tho water below and m ere now waiting to sell us antiquities. At the sight of tb.o-.io Qreeks one of our number, n tireless Bcotchwomau, scrambled ahead of us to the top, where we could soon seo her, wind blown and outlined against the blue sky, bargaining for a vase. When we reached the top after a more leisurely climb she put her purchase in my hands and asked mo what I thought of It. My hands were moist with per spiration from the exertion of tho climb, Olid for answer to her question I held them out to her nil blackened from grasping the vase. Tho sweat had at tacked tin- modern paint with which it was covered, and by thus coining off cn my hands the color had betrayed Its falsiiy. Tho whole vase had been patched up from six or seven pieces and then painted over to conceal tho repairing. A HEROIC BATTLE. T'.ie l?nenty Wim the Sen, mid the Colored Troons Won. No engagement of the civil war was carried ou with more heroism and en durance thau that fought by tho For ty-ninth United States colored troops ?fter hostilities were over. The Maga zine of American History contains an acCOUllt Of the tussle in which the black soldiers bore themselves SO bravely. The steamer Mcrrimac, load ed with cotton, left Now Orleans Cor New York carrying, besides her reg ular passengers, thirty officers and but.' colored privaten. For several days all went well. Then tho vessel sprung aleak, tires were dampened und the alarm spread. It was found thai tho iron supply pipe through whh ll UlO water for fhe eon denser was taken from the sea was broken, and tin* place of leakage could nol be reached. The passengers were panic stricken. One small, fal?lcrmail Wont about wringing his hands and crying: "Ach, we are at the bottom of tin sea: If we gets pack to New Orleans will dey glf mo pack my monlsh?" Tho water gained fast. The only hopo lay in keeping nlloaf until a ves sel could be Sighted, The colored troops were pressed Into service and proved themselves the heroes of the occasion. A line of men was establish ed I l oin Iho bold to the deck, and buck ets were passed as rapidly as hands could move, on dee], another line slipped back and forth with well trained military tread. The work be low was most exhausting. The men at the bottom could not hold tin Ir posi tion more (ban three minutes at a time. They were blinded and half strangled by tho swashing sea water and bruised by the lumps of coal which dashed about. But no one faltered, and high above (ho noise rose the clour, sweet voices of the workers, now singing an army song, now a cheery negro melody. The music brought new hope to the hearts of the passengers. Hour after hour ih" men worked and sang, and the sea did not gain on them. Two days passed, and the drinking water gave out. Then they could no longer sing, au.I their parched throats wore eased only by a scanty supply of oranges and lemons, but still they worked. On tho third day the lights of n steamer were seen only half a mile away. Rockets were sent up, and with great difficulty, on account of her wot ammunition, a gun was tired. To the dismay of all, fhe steamer pass ed on. Quickly the Soldiers formed a line once more, and the wearisomo la bor began again. After slXty-flVO llOUl'S of bucket pass ing a Steamer Was sighted which re sponded to tie- (a|| for help, and tho i waterlogged Mcrrimnc was towed Into harbor.

Tito TroceiiN Im Neither JMflleult Nor Conti?llcntu<li The chemical analysis <?r milk Is not complicated, nor difllcult. First tho chemist weighs a Hinall dish, cup or saucer and carefully notes down the results In ounces, grains and fractions of grains. .Next lie pours in Borne milk to he analyzed and again carefully notes down the result. Hy subtracting the weight of (he dish from thai of hotll the weight of the milk is found and recorded. Next the receptacle Is place.1 over u Steam Jet, which evapo rates the water of the milk, leaving only the residue or ".solids." AgniU the dish and its contents are weighed, ami hy a simple calculation the percentage of solids is ascertained. The "solids" of (lie milk have been found by innumerable analyses to average about 13 per cent, and while tin; fal varies in milk from different cows the solids left after extracting the fal are found to he a very constant quantity, seldom falling below 10 per cent or over 11. This gives the chem ist a positive basis for his calculations and enables him to stale with great certainty whether or not the milk has been watered. The fat or oil in milk Is determined by dissolving It by means of ether, the residue remaining after such test bo lug termed "solids other than fat." The average fat or oil found In milk from cows is 3 per cent, and any amount less than 3 per cent Indicates almost, to a certainty that the milk has been skimmed. If analysis shows a de -lease of fat It Indicates that the milk has been watered, while If fats and other SOlfdS together are low you may Infer that the skimmer has douo Its worst.
