With over 1,000,000 Oales of cotton
to be marketed in Sonth Carolina
this year, at the existing prices,
the rocome from the ba'ei cotton
will fall little short of $60,000,000.
In addition to this, if all the seed is
sold, au additional $8,500,000 will
be paid for that product to the
farmers of the Palmetto State.
This means much more for South
Carolina than most people think at
first glance. It meaus, first of all,
~ novai. Irnnwn to
d HVKl W4V4V a uw??
a hardworking, striving people. It
means also the forging ahead of a
State now leading in many other
branches of industry. It means a
great stride for world-wide recognition
of the South'8 greatest productcotton.
It may truly be said with Henry
Grady:
"Cotton?What a royal plant it
is! The world waits in attendance
on its growth; the shower that falls
whispering on its leaves is heard
around the earth; the s?n that shines
on it is tempered by the prayers of
all the people, the frost that chills
it and the dew that descends from
the stars are noted, and the trespass
of a little worm upon its green leaf
as more to England thau the advance
of the Russian army on the Asian
outposts."
And as a writer has recently put
it:
iU
"You get up in the morning from
-a bed clothed in cotton; you step on
-a cotton rug; yon let in the light by
-raising a cotton window shade; you
wash with soap made partly from
cotton oil; you dry your face on a
'Cotton towel; you array yourselt
chiefly in cotton clothing; the 'silk'
in which your wife dresses is probably
mercerized cotton; at the breakfast
table you do not get away from
King Cotton; cotton oil has probably
taken the place of lard in the,
-biscuit you eat and even these m ay
be made of cotton seed flour; the
*be?f and the muttou are probably
i fattened on cotton seed meal and
abulia; your 'imported olive oil' is
more lively from a Texas cotton
/ifarm than from an Italian villa;
your butter is probably a product of
Son them cotton seed meal, and is
certainly improved if about 20 per
-^ent. of eotton oil has been added in
r>
churning; the coal that burns
, in the 6re may have beeu mined by
1 the light of a cotton oil lamp; sheep
from which your woolen clothing
vcamc urere probably fed on cotton
<aeed meal; the tonic you take may
contain an extraet of cotton routhark;
the tobacco you smoke not un?
Biteely grew under a cotton cover, is
3>ut up in a cotton bag and may be
adulterated with cotton seed hulls;
your morning daily may be printed
<n cotton waste paper?and even in
the war it tells about in some far
country the contending forces were
nrohablv clothed in cotton duck,
C J
alept under cotton tents. Cotton
was an essential in the high explosives
which were used, and when at
l*st war had done its worst surgery
itself calls cotton into requisition to
aid the iujured and dying, until they
are laid away in a cotton shroud ?

No Fun Fop Boy*.
In some of the cantons of Swltzer1
land they have special laws made for
I boya. Here Is a sample of them:
"IT a boy throws a stone and hits a
man he may be fined 3 francs.
"1 t a hrttr thpn?-? a snawbllll Slid hits
a woman he may be fined 2 francs.
"If a boy calls a girl a 'rod head* he
may be fined from 2 to 4 francs.
"If a boy throws at frogs i:i a pond
i '.iinout being ordered to do so by his
father or teacher he shall be fined a
franc.
| "If a boy throws a stone and breaks
t a window belonging to some one else
1 his father may whip him or be may be
fined 2 francs.
"If a boy makes a face at his teacher
or draws pictures of him on bis
slate or speaks ill of him be may be
fined 5 francs and have to beg his pardon.
"If a boy stones a dog or chases a
! cat It Is a fine of a franc.
"If two boys fight without the consent
of their teacher It Is a fine of 3
francs.
"If a boy steals apples or other fruit
It Is a fine of 2 francs, and he should be
beaten by bis father."
The American boy who reads the
above will wonder what the Swiss boy
has to live for. About all be can do
and not be fined Is to have the measles
or whooping cough.?Exchange.
Man's Unwisdom.
The simplest and plainest laws of
health are outraged every hour of the
day by the average man. Did Adam
smoke? Dfal Eve wear corsets? Did
Solomon chew tobacco? Did Ruth
cbew gum? Did the children of Israel
make for a beer garden after crossing
1 the Red sea? Did Rebecca eat gumdrops
and Ice cream and call for soda
water? Adam was the first and was
made perfect from head to heel. How
' long would be remain so after eating
: a mince pie before going to bed? Suppose
he had slept In a bedroom five by ;
seven, with the windows down, the
door shut and two degs under the bed?
8uppose Eve bad laced herself up In
a comet, put on tight shoes, sat up all
hours of the night eating her fill of
trash and sizzled her hair. When you
come to look at the way a man misbehave*
himself you can only wonder he
ever lived to get there. Verily, the average
man behaves as if he were little
better than a fool.?Woodbury (Conn.)

A Pony 8ontin?l.
During one of General Custer's Indian
campaigns be had a boy bugler
with him who was mounted on a circus
pony be had picked up somewhere.
The animal was not only full of tricks,
but he proved himself a better sentinel
than any of the soldiers. Three times
In four months he saved the camp
from a night attack when no other
suspected that danger was near. Upon
one occasion the pony, who was loose
and walking about camp, discovered a
sentinel asleep on his post That was
wrong, and the animal knew It was.
and be gave the soldier such a bite on
the arm as caused him to yell out and
arouse the whole camp. Pooy and boy
both died In Custer's last battle. The
pony had twelve arrows in his body
when found.?Cincinnati Commercial

As It Losksd Is Him.
One of the ladies in fancy dress was.
though fair enough, a trifle fat, and
we will not say that she dtd not look
well out ?* the thirties. And there
spake to her a reporter:
"May I ask what character yoe repreeent?"
"Helen of Troy," she answered.
"What did yon think It was?"
"Well," be murmured, ungailantly
enough, as weights and measures confused
his brain and he gassd on her
ample proportions, "I thought you
might be Helen of Arolrdnpolsr

With the latter one of the group draws

Another proof that the doctor's gen- 1

discretion was at a time when, after
much delay, a day was fixed to pay

tho money, but a friend calling

of his goods being sefced for rent, the
thoughtless but ben^volant author gave ,

Heart Preteotors. a
Many persona are puzzled to know why
policemen Vear th^lr Radges so ?
low on their coats Instead of on the ~
flap made for that purpose. As a mat- I
ter of fact the badge or star, as he |
calls It, of many a policeman Is right ?
next to his heart. Some of tbe bluecoats
can thank their "stars" for being 1
alive. This little metal shield has de- &
fleeted the bullet of bnrgiar or high- ?
wayman, and at times, too, has stopped
the knife thrust of would be assassins." ?i
During tbe last twenty or thirty years
there are many cases on record show- to
lng that tbe little badge bas been a *
life saver. Even bullets fired at close ?>
range, as a rule, cannot penetrate the
shield. That's why a bluecoat always WU
feels safer In keeping the star at a vital
spot. When off duty some policemen ?
wear their stars on their vests, but al- -J
ways directly over the heart. Tbey are Uk
so accustomed to the little protector
that tbey feel uneasy without it? Jj

The Wealthy Angler's Tackle Outfit.
The wealthy angler who want# the A|
beet of. everything ha# a special six Q|
foot oblong case or trtmk for hla
fishing rods, which, being the best. '
cost about $30 each. He has a heavy ^
surf casting rod, a lighter hey coating ?.
rod and a set of fly rods for fresh wa- ^
ter fishing. His reels, of which be gi
most have varices type*, cost $75 each a
and upward. For his fishing tackle
there la a special trunk. In which are
the best Irish linen linee, hooks and g;
files of all descriptions, sinkers, swlv- ^
els, squids, spoons, spinner*, fioats, arOfldal

ally carry duplicate tackle and at vera 1 *
duplicates of pole tips and such things
as may be most likely to break. The
j total cost of a wealthy angfer's tackle 3

Fir* and Water. S
Water will extinguish a fire because
the water forms a coating over the
.fuel, which keeps It from the air. and ?
The conversion of water Into steam A
draws off the beat from the burning
fuel. little water makes a fire
fiercer, while a large quantity of water
puts It out The explanation la that
water Is composed of oxygen and hydrogen.
When, therefore, the fire can ^
decompose the water Into Its simple ?
elements it serves as fuel to the flame.
A Hard Drinking Bout.
Among the songs of Robert Burns

who visited England In the retinue of
Anne of Denmark. This whistle was
placed on the table at the beginning of 9.
a drinking bout, which was won by _
whoever was last able to blow It The 11
Dane conquered all comers, says the jU
story, until Sir Robert Lawrie of Max- IT

nights' hard contest, left the Scandinavian
