We do not set* the gmxi to be derived from the special session of the legislature called to meet next week; or. the contrary, the expense of the session will undoubtedly add considerably to the already heavy burden of taxation imposed upon the property-holders. As we understand it, a called session of the legislature f is unlimited in its duration and tliere ;ire 1(?N members of the House ? - and the Senate combined, three|k fourths of whom are fairly bursting ii* with pent-up oratory looking to the relief of the cotton planter, and , most of the plans presented will probably l>e about as practical as that of the I^aputan philosopher to extract sun-beams from cucunil?ers. Moreover, the regular session of the General Assembly convenes 1/ early in January, and, to our mind, it could have accomplished anything in the way of relief to the farmers that this extra session can possibly do.

Abe Martin says, "the man who really pays for advertising is the man who doesn't advertise." S<*e : A the point, Mr Business Man? In his home county Richards was defeated two to one hy Manning. But Mr Richards still has that strangle hold on tlie Railroad Commissioner's joh. It has l>een suggested hy some one that the members of the] General Assembly, in view of present conditions, give their services free to the State during the extra session, hut the idea does not seems to meet with enthusiastic favor on the part of the Solons. This would really Ik* too much to expect from men who '< aVe their own private affairs to devote their time and energy to affairs of State, hut they can do the next l>est- thing?meet and immediately adjourn. ; -ifj? { 9 - [ . _ THE BUY-A-BALE MOVEMENT j Taken Up Officially by Kingstree Board of Trade. At a special meeting of the executive committee of the Kingstree Board of Trade held Tuesday night for the purpose of discussing the cotton situation and,, if possible, taking some steps toward pushing th?? Buy-a-Bale plan and starting the movement off on a systematic plan, the committee drafted and adopted the following resolutions: 1. We resolve that the Board of Trade recognizes the novel Atlanta plan of Buy-a-Bale as the most practical plan so far suggested, and in sympathy with this movement we hereby authorize our secretary to! buy a bale of cotton at ten :ents a pound for the Board of Trade We appeal to every public-spirited citizen of Williamsburg county to buy a bale of cotton at ten cents a pound from a small farmer who needs the money most, and in this * j? x 4. way aid tne iarmer to meet ma obligations and to hold the re9t of his cotton off the market. 2. We urge that the merchants and business men of Kingstree ask outside business connections, firms with whom they deal, to enter the Buy-a-Bale movement, and in that way help the South to bear the burden of the present situation caused by the European war. 3. We heartily commend our business men who are accepting cotton from farmers at ten cents a pound i on accounts; and in view of this liberal spirit on the part of the business men toward the producer, we think a like spirit should be shown by the fertilizer manufacturers to their customers. 4. All Williamsburg citizens who ontor this mnvpmcnt hv buving a bale of cotton at ten cents a pound, and thus keeping it off the market, are requested to report it to Mr W F Tolley, Secretary, who will from time to time publish a list of their names. ART IS SOMEWHAT PUZZLING If This Is a True 8tory, Futurist Paint Ings Should Be Provided With a Label. Many unkind have been said abont the difficulty of making head or tail of the futurist paintings, but the latest story is positively cruel. It was told the other evening across the dinner table of a well-known caricaturist. The caricaturist said that he had that day paid a visit with a number of friends to the studio of a futurist painter in order to examine the paintings he had prepared for a forthcoming exhibition. "What a striking piece of work!" exclaimed one of the visitors. "A torin at sea, of course." "Nonsense," replied another. "One can see that it's a landscape wim me setting sun." "Rubbish!" snapped a third. "I saw at once that it's a Japanese volcano in eruption." "It reminds me," murmured a frivolous critic, "of a plate of tomatoes or a lobster struck by lightning. I'm not quite sure which." "Don't be ridiculous!" exclaimed another. "Anybody can see plainly that it's a naval battle." The unfortunate artist broke out furiously: "It's nothing of the kind!" he bellowed. "The picture merely represents a simple country wedding."

Laurens, September 18:?"Guilty ot manslaughter" was the verdict rendered today by the jury in the case of Joseph G Sullivan, tried at | this term of court on the charge of killing Col John M Cannon at Gray Court, May 12 last. The case was given to the jury last night shortly before 6 o'clock. After deliberating all night and till' - - i just before noon today the jury: agreed on a verdict. Motion for a new trial will be: argued tomorrow. This was the j second trial of the case, a mistrial I having resulted at the June term of j court. Greenwood Rogers was today convicted of arson in connection with1 the murder, last January, of George F Young at Stomp Springs, and the subsequent burning or Young's cottage over the dead man's body. The verdict carries the death penal ty. Rogers was tried and convicted on a charge of murder at the March term of court, ,in this name case, the jury recommending mercy and saving him fri>m the electric chair then. Junk Caldwell was also convicted of the same crime and given a life sentence. Tom Young, the third party in the alleged conspiracy, turned Stace's evidence, and largely on his testimony convictions were secured in j the other cases. The case of Young will probably be disposed of tomorrow. SULLIVAN GETS SIX YEARS. Laurens, September 19:?After overruling motions for new trials in the case of Joseph G Sullivan, tried i for the killing of Col John M Cannon and found guilty yesterday of i manslaughter, Greenwood Rogers, convicted of arson, and John Q Cunningham, found guilty at this term of manslaughter. Judge Thos S Sease today passed sentence on the defendants as follows: Joreph G Sullivan, six years on the public works or in the State Penitentiary. Greenwood Rogers, to death in the electric chair October 23. John Q Cunningham, two years on ! the public works or in the peniteni tiary. Pending an appeal to the supreme court, Sullivan was allowed bail in j the sum of $5,000. In the motion I fnr a new trial for Sullivan, his at torneys pleaded for leniency rather | than for a new hearing. When sentence was passed on the young man, he was surrounded by his mother, i sister and other members of the family, and it was a very touching scene. In both the other cases, notice of appeal to the Supreme court was given, and Cunningham was released on bond of $1,000. Overland Co- To Buy a Bale From Each Customer. Toledo, Ohio, 916-14.

HUSBAND RESCUED DESPAIRING WIFE After Four Tears of Discouraging Conditions, Mrs. Bollock Gave Up in Despair. Husband Came to Rescue. Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter | from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock < writes as follows: "I suffered for four j years, with womanly troubles, and during ! this time, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treatment relieved me for a while, but I wag soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak 1 could not stand, and 1 gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I com !1 p It.. ?-?. mencea raiting 11. rrom uic vciy him dose, I could tell it was helping me. 1 can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work."

Geo B Cortelyou, former Secretary of the Treasury and now president of the Consolidated Gas company, of New York city, in a recent interview said: "Least of all do I think this a time for the abatement of publicity efforts; indeed, these should be redoubled now, because if advertising increases demand and stimulates production, this is the time to advertise; and the merchant or manufacturer who keeps his product prominently before the public now is not only proving his faith in the soundness and strength of American industry,and thus setting a good example to his more timid brother,but is certain to reap an ample reward in the material returns that will come to him." ^ How the War Started. Editor County Kecord:? The following conversation was j overheard at the Kingstree ginnery : a few days ago: Two darkies were discussing the j "scarcity of the stringency" and the, war came up, when one remarked: 4 De low price uv cotton is wuh I bring de war on." "No, it en't," replied the other, "dey tell me dat King George an' j his cousin Bill of Germaica wasj 'sputin' one day 'bout a bbttle uv! wine an' they git rjght hot, till j fin'lly King George say to he cousin! Bill, 'Oh, you go on home, you en't j nuthin' but a dam Bleaseite,' an' so' dey call out de ahmy an' went at it. Dat how it bin." Card of Thanks.
