The editor of this Bureau is goiug to make an effort to attend as many of the South Carolina Farmers Institutes this summer as possible, -and will be delighted to meet aud talk with the progressive element of - 1. of tKnso ninnt.

Njt with a view of teaching progressive farmers how to farm, but we are out to learn what our np-to-date farmers are doing and how tliey do it, so that I may tell * Others about it as we pass around among them. If you think our Farmers' Uuion Bureau ia on the right track give us a few encouraging words and if you think we are wrong in any May point out tbe facts and we will thank you. ; - No Doubt About Tbis. It is the want of will, not the want of power that makes the farmer yield tamely to graft and greed. Does our Farmers' Union local beu*, gia to look like a last year's bi rd nest? If so fire it before insects and spider webs cover it. Then go to work and organize a new one and , keep it as lively and hot as a horuet nest in August. After analyzing all the more conservative and intelligent estimates of the cost of the present crop of cottou at baud, this bureau can as sure the growers that this crop of cotton will cost more per acre to grow than Mas' ever known before. The extensive replanting with very costly seed, the cold Met grassy weather, with bad stand?and costlv ^ * labor, combine to make the cost per acre alarmingly heavy. Just here it is well for our pricing conventions to weigh carefully all the3e important factors of cost of production Spfnrp their necs are driven down at f he figures for this crop. Take Your Choice. The rich have the most meat, the ' poor the best appetite. The rich lay the softest; the poor sleep the soundest. The poor have health, the rich have delicacies. The rich &I11 themselves through fear of poverty; the poor laugh aud sing, and Joye their families too well to put the light out of their own life. Tom Wafsoo is Coming. You hear that rumbling noise in the elements about the Farmers' 7Jnion? Well that is a warning fc-r ' , I. that a storm is coming to this state ! in July; for Tom Watson is booked ! to address the State Farmers' Union | at Greenwood, S (J, at 11a in, Thursday July 25. Look out now for some home niade proph -t to hop up. An article in the news papers about the danger ahead by fa-mers' organizations g?iug into politics, as tnough farmers were dangerous and it was the dutv of farmers to do the voting only while otheis direct them how to cost their vote. Efer Think About Tbis? That whea ihe farmer namea his price for his products that give him a reasonable profit, that the farmer has about the same right to know how much money the purchaser has in his pocket to pay for the farmer's cotton, as the buyer has to know how much cotton the farmer has in his warehouse. If buyers reason tnat they must have cottou cheaper because farmers have made better crops, then, farmers must demand more money for his cotton because the buyers have made better profits out of the cotton than the farmer who made the cotton! Farmers are to blame for this state of affairs, it is not the men that take the profits. Cottou warehouses may control the supply of cotton to suit the demand, just the name as the money vaults hand out the proper amount of money to satisfy the demand by cotton. Cotton will keep about as long in a good warehouse as money will keep in a bank. Money may besaid to have little or no intrinsic value aud its current trade value is limited; while cotton's intrinsic value is recognized the world over aud will continue to be a current article of trade in all countries so long as babies are born naked, Bud sick headaches, biliousnsse or coii6tipatiou are quickly relieved bv De witt's Little Early Risers.

Mexicans enjoy the well earned reputation of being one of the moct superstitious races of the world. Superstition exists wherever there is a human being, but Mexico seems to be the place where all human superstitions are centered. To such an extent is this true that superstition has become almost a kind of religion, governing every act of the i people. . Maidens until they become brides are urged by their mothers to put their shoes point against point under their bed at night to bring happy dreams, and this will even enable them to converse with the Virgin during their sleep. When rlr&fijjina the ridlt shod " Q O (never the left) is put op first. The buttons of the suit are buttoned upward?that is, starting with the lowest and ending at the top. This I is to signify that we are very low | here in this earthly planet, but that ' during the day we will try to go upward. Furthermore, this practice, if faithfully and constantly observed, will lead us very high, to heaven when we die. The contrary will take us down to inferno. After one is ready to go out of his room one must always move the right foot first. If it happens that you find at the door of your house a bunch of hair or hemp it is a proof that a witch is after you with some ill purpose, and you must at once bring some salt and throw four handfuls as far as you can, one to the east, another to the west, the third to the north and the last one to the south. Then you have nothing to fear from witches in the course of the day. But at night when you retire you must take two very fine sticks, make a cross with them and nail it to' your door. No witches, ghosts or devils will bother you thereafter. If before taking breakfast you happen to see a bla|l cat, three j lame fellows on one aod the same street or a corpse it would be better for you to go back home and stay indoors for the day, because something wrong is in store for you. U> on the contrary, you meet a j humpback it would be good for you to shake hands with him, pat his hump and give him. some money. If he is a beggar, that will bring you good luck. Humpbacks are exceptionally good omens for those who have lottery tickets. If you buy one/do not see its number until you have rubbed it against somebody's \ hump. Then you are sure to win a j prize. Nos. 7, 15 and 27 are lucky; j 3, 73 and 41 are unlucky. No. 13 especially is one that never fails to bring trouble, so never live in a house or room numbered 13. Be very careful when you ascend a staircase with thirteen steps,!never ride on a car No. 13, and under no circumstances eat, drink or wear anything that has coat you 13 cents or dollars or that you have bought on the 13th of the month. ! Tuesday and Friday are very bad omen days, and there is a common "I'intr tbof do not marrv or ~V"'b ? start on any business on Tuesday or Friday. Black cats, spiders and owls are very bad omen creatures. Never keep a black cat at home, be sure to kill all spiders you see crawling about your bed and always close tight your ears when you hear an owlet hoot. Indians abhor owlets. They say: "When an owlet sings an Indian dies. It may be untrue, yet it always happens." Butterflies are good or bad omens, according to their color. White ones bring happiness. Yellow ones advise us to maintain alive our hopes of love or fortune, and black ones announce that death is stalking around us or our relatives. The dog is the greatest iriend of man. No doubt about that, an he is endowed with the power of seeing ghosts, devils and death. When you hear your dog howling it is proof that he is warning you against some evil event. One thing of apparently small importance, but which brings fatal re * * f u _ _; suits, is the lignung 01 inree cigar* or cigarettes on the same match. One of the three persons lighting their cigars will die within the year. ?Mexican Herald. The Patron of Painting. The lady of the newly got riches determined to become a patron of art. So she called upon a rather out of the way picture dealer and expressed her desire to make some purchases. "And who is this by?" she presently inquired, pointing to a bright looking work. "That is a chromo, madam." "Oh, yes! Of course it is! Now that you mention it, I recognize his style."?London Sphere. * ' 'p.; i \ That hacking i Because your your powers of re Take Scoff ?

We don't want to offend anyone, and we hope that nobody will be foolish enough to take umbrage at our asking for what is 'due us. At the same time we would rather a man would get mad and pay up than to stay pleased and pay nothing. In the near future we have several notes to meet on paper and material and it is urgently necessarv to collect what our subscribers owe us. Our actoal running expenses are $5o a week and it is a plain proposition i hat we caunot continue to issue the paper unless this mouey is forth coming. Printers have to be paid Saturday night, and paper men won't wait till fall for their money. Now, we have a number of these little accounts scattered among buudredsof people, but it means a substantial sum to us. With the price of paper advaucing every week we simply can't afford to send the paper any longer to those who won't pay; so if you are. really unable to pay and owe us for over a year, kindly notify as, so that we can strike your name off our list, as we don't care to send good money after bad. A great many have already settled their accounts and paid a year ahead. To tl^em this notice has no reference. Come, friends, don't delay longer; but bring or seud us the dollar or two dollars that you know we have honestly earned. tf WHENEVER % You Have Any KIND OF BUSINESS In Real Eftate See STOLL BROTHERS, Kingstree, - - S.
