'1 he verdict of the Richland jury in the Farnum case is not surprising when one recalls tht outconii* of the Neal case a decade ago. bonder if Farnurn's acquittal had anything to do with quickening the conscience of hit former employing house, the Bernheim Distilling Co.? The disappointment of the "Holy Rollers," a sect of religious fanatics in Massachusetts, in cot beholding the end of the world come to pass last week, as the r prophets had foretold, will not be shared in by a great number of people outside of that faith. How many people know tht number of expeditions that hav< set out to discover the Nortl and the South pole? Within th? pao* century, dating from th< year 1S00, there have been 571 expeditions to the North Pol and sixty-one to the South Pole Of these, Creat Britain has sen 107 north and 25 south: Russi has sent 105 to the north aw on - to the south, vvhih the Uuit ed State* has seat !St iQ searol; of the North Pole and twelve rc the south to hud the pole. Oui of this large number it is t matter of great national prid that both claims to the dis cou-rv ot the North Pole shoul< be made by Americau explorers Union "Progress" suggests tha former director Wylie ot Chestei if he be sincere in his protestations of coutritiou for the sin ol "grafting", should not only muki restitution to the State of al hia ill-gotten gains, which ap proximate $30,000, according t( his own confession, but also re fuse immunity from the conse quences of his self-coafessec crime and don a convict's garb, Then, our contemporary opmes Mr Wylie would show himsel a man. But isn't that setting the standard pretty high for a m - * Cl TT _ __ trail, mortal manr now mauy mei regarded as honest and honorable would in like circumstances go t< th? extreme degree of repentanc< proposed to Mr Wylie? Most peo pie would be willing to credit Mi Wyiie'a sincerity if he would re store the money, even though ht accepted the clemency extended bj the State. It would certainly Lok hard for hitn, who at least professes repentance, to be the only only one to suffer. Health and Beanty lid.

The right arm and lei*" were badly affect i eel and the stricken man was ; helped into his buggy and taken | to his home as soon as possible, j Mr Venters'home was between j Kingstree and (Jreeiyville about six miles north of the latter, place, lie was a middle-aged man and leaves a wife and ' several children. Put More Bagging on Your Cotton j Again we would urge our cotton I growers lo put on baggiug and ties ' to the full G per cent limit this sea? son. If you put on less than G per | cent?that is to say, 30 pounds on a } 500-pound bale, 27 on a 450-pound bale, etc?it is simply a matter of I giving the cottou buyer good cottou worth 124 cents a pound when he is paying you only for bagging and ties 5 averaging about 31 cents a pound. * This is a matter our farmers have 1 been entirely too slow to understand. The gist of the whole matter is , simply this: The price of cotton is always fixed by manufacturers who buy ou a basis of 6 per cent deduction for bagging and ties. That is to ! say, they figure on 30 pounds tare i tor each 500-pound bale; and on each I 500-pound bale, therefore, they allow ; a price for the gross bale sufficient to . pay for only 470 pounds net of lint j cotton. In other words, the price , paid per pound for the whole 500 *| pounds is lowered so as to allow for ^30 pounds tare. ) | Now, the average farmer instead of e putting 470 pounds of lint cotton 1 and 30 pounds of bagging iuto a 500pound bale, puts in 478 pounds of ^ 1 cotton aud 22 pounds of baggiug? - : thereby putting in 8 extra pounds of . 121 cent cotton worth $1 instead of 8 ti pounds of bagging aud ties worth 2S a cents^ Moreover, all the evidence goes to show that if the farmer does not pul * i on full 30 pounds tare to each 500. ? | pound bale, the exporter adds th? i extra 8 or 10 pounds in second-hand t bagging and makes the extra dolla that really belongs to the fai mer. At i a meeting of foreign manufacturers e with representatives of the Farmers union in Washington City a year oi J two ago, the manufacturers inquired k'Why is it that when cotton leave I the farmer's gin it has only 20 to 2; t of tare, bat has 31 pounds bv th< time it reaches us?" This is the ex ' planation. Put on bagging to the full 6 pe f cent limit. MrRmsom Hiuton, ? s well known North Carolina cottoc 1 grower, illustrates the matter ver; clearly when he says: "Suppose yoi were carrvinza box of m;at to mar ) * ket ar.d you kaew they would kn<?ck off thirty pounds from th gross weight tor the weight of the I box: wouldn't you be foolish to use only a 20-pound box instead?give them 10 pounds of meat instead oi ' 10 pounds of box?" Even so it is with the farmer whc ' gets pay for cotton on a basis of i 30 pounds deduction for baggiug i and ties while he puts on only 20 > pounds. 3 Put on all the bagging sod ties that you can buy for 2k cents a pound and sell for 12* cents.?Pro' gressivc Farmer. r Mgbt On Bald Mountain. 5 On a lonely night Alex.
