not have a statement of your ac- j
count made out to date (not know- j

he will be paid) but just pay him I?

The two cotton-picking ma- ^
g
chines, which were given a "tryr
out" in Marlboro county last
week, are reported to have met ^
the respective tests successfully
and the inventors and backers of
each confidently claim that their | ?
particular machine has solved j
the problem of harvesting thej
fleecy staple. Time alone will j j
tell whether either o: both of t
the machines are of practical
o
value.

Dr James H Carlisle, the vener- v
able and beloved ex-president of c

According to Peary's line of j
argument he himself never reached t
the pole. Peary claims that Matt j c
Hen80u, a negro, was with him when j (

lie reacneu iae cuveieu gvai. ^vn, 11
if Cook had made any such ad- J
mission, how quickly would Peary j
have seized on to it as proof that j
Cook was au impostor, because it t
is a wellknown fact that a negro j
c*6ot staud cold weather. Just c
such flimsy circumstauces make up *
Peary's whole case against Cook. e
Inventions, as well as achieve- i
ntfpts of exploration, seem to iC
0 in pairs these times. While two1
neti are wrangling over the aleg-.-d
discovery of the North
Polf, here conies a news story
from I?enuettsville that on the
ame day and almost in the same
place, successful demonstrations
?f two different cotton harvesters
have been made. Except as tc
Lime and place for experiment,
there seems to be 110 connection
between the two machines, oiu
being the product of a local
letiins, and the other (inventoi
unknown aa yet) beiug exploited
by Theodore Price of New York,
ihe well known cotton speculator
The trustees of Clemson collegf
are still casting around for 1
successor to Dr Mell as presidenl
)f that institution. Among th(
possibilities for the tendering ol
the position are named Dr Heur\
K Snyder, president of Wofford
college; Col 0 J Bond, superin
indent of the South Carolina
Military Academy; Kenneth G
Matheson, president of Georgia
School ot Technology, the latter a
South Carolinian by birth, who was
jartly educated at the Citadel Acad>
smy of Charleston. Atiy ot the

' principals and two alternates for cadetships
at the United States Milit

age reauirement is 16 to 20 years.

Cottoo Bagging Again.
Concerning the 6 per cent tare
5 on cotton bagging, it seems that
numerous American cotton mills
kick against allowing as much
tare as foreign buyers permit.
1 This is a matter which Farmers'
! Unions in the several States
; would do well to take up. If
foreign cotton manufacturers
permit 6 per cent tare, or 30
pounds for each 500-pound bale, 1
our local mills must either allow :
as much or else pay a better
i price for the cotton.
More bagging on our cotton
would also be an advantage to
the whole cotton industry for
the better protection afforded ;
the staple and the better ap- 1
pearance of the bales. -'Local
miljs should agree to the 6 per
cent tare and have one uniform
arrangement?Raliegh (Ar. C.)

THE MARION COUNTY DISPUTEThe
Hamby-Beaty Survey Confirmed
by Prof Colcock.
l'rof FII Colcock. who was
appointed by Governor Ansel
to test the lines of the proposed
county of Dillon to ascertain
if the area contained in the proposed
county fulfilled the constitutional
req airement. has
submitted his report to the
Governor. The constitutional
requirement is r>00 miles in the
old county and 400 in the new.
and l'rof Colcock practically
concurs with the survey of
Hamby & Beaty, stating that
nis measurements resuu in
showing' 501 miles left in the
old territory and 404 miles in
the Dillon area. The test survey
was made at the request of
one of the commissioners.
Now that the question of area
is settled the election on the
question of the formation of
Dillon county will doubtless
soon be submitted to the voters
in the affected area.
Myers-Johnson
Last Sunday at 6 o'clock p m
the wedding bells of old Marion
rang out a merry refrain as
Mr Charlie H Myers of Dillon
and the charming Miss Mollie
Johnson of Marion approached
the Baptist parsonage, where the
preacher was in waiting to make
two happy hearts beat as one.
The solemn ceremony was performed
by Rev Rufus Ford, that
made them man and wife. After
receiving the pastor's kind
benedictions the happy couple
returned to the home of the
bride's mother. Mrs Thomas
Johnson. They arrived in Dillon
on the 9 p m train the same
night, where Mr and |Mrs Myers
will make their future home.

with the egg plants he raises. They
ire the finest we have seen this seaion.?Florence
