NEW DANUElt TO COTTON. The Disease "Attthr&CUOSc" Is > litur Much Havoc in This u*. The following special to the Augusta Chronicle front Columbia gives a few facts concerning tlu> new trouble that's trying to put the boll wcavll in the shade: Columbia, S. ('.. Sept. is.?The Cot ton crop of South Carolina has boon damaged to the oxtont of several mil lion dollars by authrncnosc, i disease which has attacked the plant i.i many sections of the State. The State de partment of agriculture has bet n for the past week Hooded with samples of Mie havoc thai has been wrought and many of the farmers are seeking in formation as to how conditions may be remedied. The department lias given information to all letters as to how the disease may he eradicated. Various estimates of the . damages wrought have been made. A conserva tive estimate of the damage is about $4,000,000. The county farm demonstration agents have also sent many samples to Ira W. Williams, the State agent Wesson Snowdrift Oil Combines in one superior article lite best qualiiities Known FOR BAKING. FRYING AND SALAD DRESSING. It is wholly vegetable, odor less, tasteless. 100 % coolun.'i value, and 20% more economical than laid, and 3l?T& more eco nomical than butler, or olive oil. Sold by leading dealers. Made by THE SOUTHERN COTTON OIL CO. New York Savannah iNew Orleans Chicago employed by the United States gov ernment. After making an examination of sev ? ral samples Mr. Williams has ad dressed the following letter to a well known farmer in Alken county: "The cotton bolls you sent me received. 1 thank you very much for sending them. llie trouble, without doubt, Is What you have seen written about, called authracnose. There is nothing you can do to prevent the spread of the disease this season. Our method of lighting the disease is to select cot ton seed from the fields where the disease has never appeared, as the germ will live in the seed from one year to another. If a held is affected it is best to rotate the crop, pu.'tinr some other crop in the land for an other year, as the germs will live in the stalks and burrs left in the field, and therefore attack the plant the next ye-tr. It also attacks i < me kinds of cotton lice than other?. The Cook cotton, I have found is subject to the disease, while Cleveland big boll is largely resistant." ?Many letters of similar nature have been sent out to farmers residing in all sections of the State. All experts are agreed that when a crop has been ;.Macks there is nothing that will save the crop for that year. The rotation of crops seems to he the only plan to eliminate the disease according to those who have made a study of it Many of the farmers have been ad vised to plant corn and secure pure cotton seed not affected by the dis ease for the next year. The appearance of the disease has caused much uneasiness among many of the farmers. Many thought thai the boll weavil had arrived.

Mr. Smith also sharp ly critic!led the trainers of the Palnc \ldrich law and (ensured Attorney General \\Mck0r3ham for his prosveu lion of the so-called hull clique in the cotton market. .Mr. Smith based his advice on reports from all the im portant cotton growing states. in r< gurd to holding cotton for high er prices .Mr. Smith said: i shall inn attempt to dictate to the farmers of the South what they shall do. Bet under tl <? circumstances I would he delighted to see them coin bine and hold their cotton from the market, wherever it is possible for them to Jo sn, until it shall bring such price as shall measure the artificial nrlce placed upon manufactured arti cles by virtue of the tariff. "My honest opinion is that 20 cents pound for the present crop is none too high, in view of the supply, tin cost of production, the comparative value 01 coiion with other textiles, and the artificial price that now obtains on manufactured goods."
