DRUNKEN ROWDIES DISTURB PEOOJLE. Lisbon People Suffer Annoyance. Crop News. Political Views and Local Person Items of Interest. Lisbon, S. C, July 25. -We farmers arc trying to got through with one of the most expensive crops we have ever tried to make; however, if all the crops (we mean cot ton) are off as ?mich to compare with the crop of 1906, we perhaps will realize more for the com/ ing crop than we did last year. When the farmers make a good crop every body seems to be happy and the world moves along so much better. We bad the pleasure of attending the senatorial meeting at your city yester day and enjoyed all their speeches very much. Either one of them will make us a good representative in the Upper House of congress. The "eooter" crowd seem.- to be anxious for their day to commence, that they may give their views along lines that will interest the whole people and let them say who shall make laws fm- our Stale govern ment and till ollicea of tue county of I .aureus. Now, Mi-. Editor, we nil ought t<> take in the campaign which starts Au gust -ill) in this county and view every man and listen to his views which he expects to propound, and vote for the men who will give us the best services regardless of our friends. Wo are glad to see that, the people are losing sight of one thing, and that is this: "We are going to vote for so and so, because he is on my band wagon." This county as well as many others, needs the very best material that we can obtain from the coroner to the president of these United States. We are glad to have the pleasure of voting whiskey or no whiskey in this coining elect ion and we feel satisfied that God is going to take a band in helping to put down whiskey,the worst thing that ever invaded our country. Mr. Editor, you ought to have been along Long street, in this community, one night this week to have heard a wagon load of men they might have been negroes, but we hardly think so. Now, Mr. Editor, don't you see at a glance how much we country people tire subjeclcd to these outrages by both white and black.' It suits some of your town peoplo to say the dispensary is the bost Bolutioh of the whiskey traffic, when they have such men as Mayor Rabb, Chief Bagwell and his force to look after the city government when the rowdios commence to feel their dis pensary whiskey.

Help for Those Who Have Stomach Trouble. After doctoring for about twelve years for a bad stomach trouble, and spending nearly live hundred dollars for medicine and doctors' foes, I purchased my wife one box of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, which did her so much good that she continued to use them anil they have done her more good than all of the medicine I bought before.

The farmer has been at school for the last two de cades. He gets valuable lessons from best papers and institutes, but bis best teacher has been experience. This pro cess of education has been very slow, and we know none who are ready to graduato and declare, after the manner of college boys, that they know it all. When one looks backward and considers how unwisely and indiscriminately they bought fertilizers about thirty years ago, and bow little they knew about plant food and the soil (dements, it is wonderful that they pulled through. A few of them felt the need of organi zation, and the first thing they joined was the Grange. That was not popular and few farmers joined it. Tim object was to educate the farmer. Politics were avoided. Next came tin? Farmers' Alliance in tin; 80*8. That was a secret organization, and none except farmers were admitted. Two qualifications were necessary for membership. The appli cant must I).- a farmer pure and simple, and in the second place he had to con sider bankers and merchants and till middlemen as their enemies. They pro posed to run stores, buy at wholesale .and live without the aid of all outsiders. They soon went down with a crash, and there does not seem enough of them left to claim that $17,000 in a Columbia bank. Even in that si hool they learned many lessons. Af tor that they began to think a little for themselves. They studied the elements of plant food. They learned how to apply fertilizers. They also began to study chemistry without calling it by that name. They quit quarreling with merchants, bankers and cotton buyers. While in that frame of mind the Cotton Association came into existence. They understood that it differed from the old Alliance principles. There were no secret meetings. They had no enemies to punish. They did not contemplate the establishment of stores and hanks. The fact is they were taught that all honest business men were friends of the farmer. Thus the teaching of the Cotton As sociation moved the intelligent farmers forward in the rightdirection. It caused abuses and dishonest methods in the agricultural department at Washington to be corrected. It called the attention of gamblers in cotton factors to the fact that they were nothing but gam blers. It set spinners in this country and Europe to thinking along different lines from what they had been accus tomed to do. Then came the Farmers* Union, a secret organization, but ap parently working to accomplish the sann" results aimed at by the Cotton Association. One excellent result of all these years of schooling is that the farmers have been gaining much knowledge relating to their business. They are learning how to improve the soil and make larger yields with less labor. Wonderful im provements have been made in the last decade in making the farms better and the homes more comfortable. Hut the best result is that class hatred has been eliminated from the farmers' thought and talk. They understand that bank ers, merchants, cotton buyers and pro fessional men are their friends. They have no enemies now except gamblers in cotton and grain who seek to make money by dishonest methods. They will not give up the fight until gambling exchanges are removed and honest methods prevail in the sale and pur chase of farm products. The farmer has certainly been at school, and while he has been a slow, bluntering scholar, he has learned many things, and he will acquire much more knowledge in the future. News and Courier.

Following is an interesting letter on tarm demonstration work: Marshall, Texas, Oct. 10, 1907. Dr. S. A. Knapp, Farmers' Co-opera tive Demonstration Work, Lake Charles, Louisiana. Dear Sir: We, the undersigned com mittee for Harrison county, Texas, make the following report on Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration Work done the past season in this county: On account of the ravages of the boll weevil Harrison county, Texas, was threatened with a disaster in the loss of the cotton crop that would effect every material interest in the county. The loss of money was not the sole consid eration. Our tenants and farm labor ers would, to a large degree, leave the county and woidd thus permanently in jure our commonwealth. In this emer gency we appealed to the United States Department of Agriculture through you for advice and aid and you came to our county and organized the work in Feb ruary, 1907, under an arrangement by which the Department of Agriculture would furnish the superintendents atid the people of this county would raise enough funds to buy improved seetl for the demonstration farms. The citizens of tiic county promptly raised and de posited in bank $1,000 and later con tributed $700 more, making a total of $1,700 invested in better seed. All agreements between the Department <>f Agriculture and the people were promptly and satisfactorily carried out. Almost without exception this was the worst season this.section has ever known for producing cotton, but without reser vation we wish to make the following statements: First. The results of the demonstra tion work have been in the highest de gree satisfactory to our people. Second. Our people are unanimous in asking for its continuance and would regard the discontinuance of the work as an untold disaster. Third. Among the many good things accomplished we enumerate the follow ing: (a) It established over 300 demon stration farms scattered over the entire country. (b) It taught better culture and in troduced better seed. These two items alone were worth more than $100,000 this year to our county in acttial cash to say nothing of further benefits. The improvement was so apparent that the observing traveler on the highways could pick out every demonstration field. (c) This demonstration work saved a stampede of tenant farmers and labor ers from the farms. (d) It gave confidence to the mer chants and bankers that a crop would be made and thus promoted credit. (e) It demonstrated to the farmers that a crop of cotton could be mado nn der extremely adverse conditions of weather ami insect posts, and they en TRY THIS FOR DESSERT.
