sections ot the surrounding
country hau >od rains Satur
day and .Sunday. A little shower
fell here Sunday but ?>n!v
enough to dampen the soil two
or three inches and more water
is badly needed in this immediate
neighborhood.
There are some case> of measles
in town and no one seems
able to even t.rue? whence the
tbincr came.
Miss Ruth Williams is at home

Messrs K F Rodgers, H B Lee,
Joe Coward and eight or ten
more gentlemen spent Friday in
Florence in attendance upon a
reference in the old 'oritrinal
stock law case as to the pasture
embracing portions of Williams- i
burg and Florence counties.
Miss Grace Hemphill of Abbe- j
ville was in town Monday.
She taught in the Johnsonville;
y school the last session and we
I understand that she has been
" re-elected for the coming year.
I She is a daughter of Capt. R R
r Hemphill, Clerk of the Senate.!
Mjf and Mrs SMarcus came up
from Kingstree Sunday and
spent the day with Mr and Mrs
^ Xachman.
Mr E R Kodgers spent Friday
last in Florence.
The berry season being now
in the closing days most of the .
solicitors have gone to other
fields, Wilmington and Norfolk ;
principally.
And this is the picture we saw
a few days ago: A bank presi
dent, a senator, a tobacco ware-,
house man, an embryo lawyer,
a merchant, six or eight kids
and a "coon," all fishing in one
mud hole hardly big enough for
a trout to turn around in- and
0#- they caught one perch measuring
about three inches in length.
The best roads in this section
are those that have not been
wonted m. an. it !?ccii??> iuu.1
filling a hole is a thin,if not to be
even thought of, and draining
the water from the roac-bed ap
pears to have been looked upon
as high treason.*

Id Nemoriam.
Whereas, in His infinite wis"donv^nd
goodness, Almighty Goa
has seen tit to remove from
this world of sin, sorro.v ar.d
suffering our beloved teacher
and friend, Miss Annie A Kooke,
and whereas her life in our community
has been spent so freely
ar.d so nobly as an inspiration
and a help to us. Be it resolved
by the pupils of the Johnsorvilie
Graded school:
First. That in losing her, we
lose not only a teacher of great
power and influence, but a sympathetic
friend and counselor;
and that while we humbly submit
to the will of Him who Knoweth
best and accept His decrees
without a murmur, we mourn
her less and thus make public
acknowledgement of what she
has meant to us in our lives and
characters.
Second, That we cherish in
our hearts her memory and indeavor
to 'mitate her Christian
example of unselfishness, kind
noss and forbearance
Third, That our sympathy oe
extended to the member> of her
immediate family, and that we
do all in our power to lighten
their burden.
Fourth, That a copy ot these
Ires^itions be published in the
couijjtv papers and in the News
A Courier and that .1 copy be
sent to the family.

TWENTY CENTS!
That is What Will Probably be Paid
for Cotton Next Fail.
The cotton men all tell the farmers
to refrain from selling their cotton.
All admit tiftecu cent cot'on
and some expect to see the staple
bring as high as twenty cents.
There is no cotton in the country
and a faminw faces the American
mills. The English mills got the
best of the American mills this season
to pay them for hating tiicked
tliem two or thiee times in the past,
and they did their American cousins
up to a brown finish. The European
spinners sent a committee over
here and that committee went over
the country in company with the
officers of the Southern Cotton association,
making a tour of inspection
of the cotton belt. The American
spinners took the reports of the |
government and the estimate of Mr j
Hester of New Orleans and others |
and they looked wise and let the |
l European have 'lie cotton. Liver-1
I
pool quotations stuck steadily above
New York in spite of the hammer- HI
ing of the American bears and the i
cotton went in a steady stream to
Europe. Now tile cotton is gone
from the tields. gone from the ware
houses, gone from everywhere and j
tlie spinners of this country are cry- ^
ing for cotton and it is not to i>e Di
had. A
Tile planters of Louisiana have
planted four times and thev sav tiiev K

have played havoc with them. The ~
Mississippi men have planted three II J]

seed. Cotton seed is selling in open
market for $05 a ton and it is mightv
scarce. The farmers all over the ^
country have run out of seed and the
crushers have not the seed to sell At
them back. They bought all they
could, sweeping the farmers' floors
and are still thirty per cent behind """"""
last year. In Texas the boll weevil Dr
ccming earlier than ever is destroying
the young plants.
Cotton, if it is good staple, can be

prices; the spinneis want auything JOHN
and they confess it. They let the
cotton go in their efforts to beat the
the price down below that fixed by piian^(
the Association and they have lost. ' workn
The Association is stronger today1 "
than it has ever been and its future WHI
was never so bright. There is every j
reason today why the farmer, eveiyj
farmer, shoulu stand by the Association
and win his independence in [
this one year of grace. It will most j
likely be done. The farmer controls;
the situation and if he does not throw
away his oportunitv he just cannot l/lII
help winning. Illll
A lot of cotton was sold by the
very wise ones, who know better
than the united wisdom of the whole
Association for nine and a fraction,
future delivery this fall, and every
effort is going to be made to foice KiflJ
these sellers to deliver that cotton.
It is going to be a most interesting
situation. This, considered in connection
with the recent tight on
bucket shops and gambling in cot- gpp
ton is going to make a pretty state of ULU.
