Four United States Senators have ] died during the present session of Con gress Mnllory of Florida, Latimcr of | South, Carolina, Proctor ,of Vermont, and Why to of Maryland.1 The last two | were aged men. Senator W. J. Bryan, of. Florida, appointed to succeed Mr. Mallory, and the youngest of, all. tho Senators, has been critically ill in Washington for several Weeks. v WOULD BE UNWISE TO CHAN0B? ' From time to. tinV^ we hear Of sdfocua. aion as to who snail be the next Speaker, of the House of Representatives. We think Mr. Whaley Should succeed him self. He has proved an excellent pre siding officer; and, what is more Import ant, he has proved that ho is not a par-v tisan. This was particularly shown by his committee appointments. . The Speaker ship is not in the South Carolina House a partisan office, as it is in the Lower House of Congress, We do not Want a *'c*ar" in the House, after the manner of Speaker Joseph Gannon. Mr. Whaley has demonstrated an aptitude for presiding, and he is al ways fair to all factions. The House is not likely to have a man who will give such satisfaction, if a change should be made?an opinion it. /Hch members from all parts of the I te 1 will agree. FIRST PRINCIPLES OF FARMIN0. We do not advise anyone to curtail his acreage in cotton; it would not be worth while. But we remind farmers again that the way to make the farm profitable is to keep busy. To be a profitable enterprise a steam laundry must have work to do the year round. It could not succeed were its. machinery idle five days in the Week. When, the plant is idle interest on the money invested, taxes, insurance and other expenses go on just the same. The same is true of a printing office. Wo can't afford to close this shop in midsummer, when collections are not good. t The farmer must keep his plant go ing all the time.' There must be some thing for his hired rhen1'and his mules* and wagons and plows and harrows to do from January until 'January comes again. This tan only be arranged' by 'diversifying crops. Some' days' and some weeks, we -suppose, the idleness on the farm'cannot be avoided, but tho farmer who most nearly approaches to keeping everything busy every working day in the week will get out 'the big gest production; and making money consists of 'just twb'operationS?product ing and selling. The first, and most important, is production. Now it fol lows from this that the man who plants too much cotton Will have all his labor and stock 'overwhelmed with work at one season, to the neglect , of other crops, and he will have no time to plant and cultivate1'these other crops, The cultivation of cotton alone cannot pos sibly take up more than, a part of the' year. At this season, when 'the crops are about to be pitched, it is wise to recog nize the economic fact that is at the basis of all industry, thai the greatest success comes from the greatest produc tion, and the greatest producing farm cannot be a farin that produces cotton to the exclusion of other crops. The Supreme court of the State has united in a decision that the State', and not the Federal court, has jurisdiction* over the funds of the late State dispen aary. This', of' course, does' not settle the contest. It will' go to the United States'supreme court; but eVery good South Carolinian will hope, that the State's contention will be sustained. The Chances are that it will be. Tho best lawyers that we have heard quoted think that ? J?dge Pritehard has little ground to stand on. At least one member of the House from Laurens will not be a candidate for re^!ectIon-7fMr; Carihori. Mr. Clar ence Cunningham, or Waterloo, would be an excellent man to succeed hinv He would do the county great credit. --- Vi%\ A Higher' Health Level.

"On the night of Feb ruary 3rd our baby was taken sick with a very sever* cola? the next day was worse and the following night his con dition was desperate. He could not lie down and it was necessary to have him in the arms every moment. Ehren then his breathing was difficult. I did not think he would live until morning. At last I. thought of- my mother's remedy, ChamhertalnV Cough Remedy, which we gave, and .it afforded prompt relief, and how, puree days later, he has fully recovered. Under the circumstances I. would not hesitate a moment in sayf ng that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and that only, saved the life of our dear littl6 boy." For ft*'-) by Laurens Drug Co.
