UU' l ioiti From the way the cotton mills of the State are going into the hands of receivers the manufacturers of the staple seem to l>e having their troubles, as well as the producers Wonder why so many people are more ready to subscribe to a Christmas gift fund for the children of war-stricken Europe than to give to the poverty stricken children of America. It's a dull and unprofitable day when some well-intentioned person who has cudgeled the gray matter of his cranium overtime, does not ' offer a "solution" of the cotton problem?hut what do they all amount to? A novel suit for damages was heard l>efore the court of common pleas at Orangeburg last week, wherein Harvey B Collier sued Benjamin C Hutto for putting oil of mustard on his hack. The jury gave Collier $400 damages. This ease is nmkakltr wifhitut nreopdent in the f annals of the civil courts of this State. , NEWS FROM SCRANTON. Lyceum Pleases?Death of Mrs 1 Miles?Other Local News. Scranten, October 19:?The Pot- ! ters, in "Song and Story," the first number ot the local lyceum course, i appeared at school auditorium last < Thurday evening and were greeted by a good-sized audience,despite the rain. The programme was varied ] with song and story and the num- 1 bers were received with applause. ' Mr and Mrs Potter are excellent 1 entertainers and those who failed to attend missed a treat. No enter- ] tainors have ever appeared here who gave greater satisfaction. Some declared Mr Potter a oetter impersonator than W Powell Hale, who , caused a hail-storm of applause here , last winter at the school-house. The i next number will come in December, the date to be announced later, when Mr Ervin Aldine Pound, edu( cator and orator, will furnish the ] entertainment. j Her many friends will be glad to i to know that Mrs W E Summerford 1 has returned from the infirmary and is rapidly regaining her health. < Mr C D Joyner, who holds a posi- ] tion at Lake City, has decided to ' cast his lot with the good people of ! that thriving town and will remove j his family there this week. The best wishes of his friends go with i him and his. j Miss Bertha Sturgeon has returned home for a pleasant sojourn. ( Mr Freeland Jones of Sumter, , k? who is studying how to "honk, honk" I f an auto, is at home for awhile. I Mr Geo C Cusaac, the efficient local station agent, autoed to his father's home to spend Sunday. Mr Stephen Coward, cheerily chirping as ever, a welcome Sunday visitor, spent the Sabbath in town. Some attraction? Mr Walter W Singletary was in town a short while Monday. Dr Myers Graham of Cowards made a brief visit in town Monday. The death of Mrs K A Miles Wednesday, October 14, cast a gloom over our town and community. She had been in feeble health for some time, but was able to visit among her children; and at the time of her last illness she was at the home of one of her daughters, Mrs Rosetta Bales, at New Brooklyn, near Columbia. She was bedfast for three weeks, and,from the first, little hope was held out for her recovery. Heart failure was the direct cause of death. She was 73 years of age. The remains were brought here and interment was made in the Methodist cemetery Friday, at 11 a. m.. in the presence of a host of grief-stricken relatives and sorrowing friends. Rev J B Prosser, of the Methodist church, conducted the obsequies. Mrs Miles was a life-long member of the Baptist church, was loved and highly respected by a large circle of friends and held in admiration that was almost worship by her children and grand-children. Besides other relatives, she leaves five daughters and one son, Mr W Lewis Jones of Scranton. She was three times married. Mr 0 B Carter, one of Scranton's hustling merchants, spent Sunday and Monday with relatives at Lamar i rrv . :il. ana iimmonsvuie. The Green Spring school began the fall session Monday with Prof ? Crout as principal and Mirs Fanny Cannon, assistant. A card received brings the following: "Cotton Wanted?5,000 Bales at 10 Cents a Pound!" "Blank College will accept cotton at 10 cents a pound in exchange for tuition at college or by mail until January 1, 1915." Was there ever a more concerted loyalty to a common cause than is displayed now by business concerns all over the country? And the Indian summer vanishes with the coming of Jack Frost. I M G. iuditc n \ vi rmpc Picked Up During the Week by Our Wideawake Scribe. White Oak, October 20: ?Mr Early Dewitt was forced to go to Charleston again Monday to Dr E F Parker, the eye specialist, for treatment for his eyes. He informs us that he will spend several days there next week, in order that the doctor may perform an operation on his eyes. We are sorry that he is having so much pain and trouble with his eyes, and especially sorry, because we are sure that if he ever would like to have the joy of "perfect vision" it is just now. Mr John H Baker, the saw-mill man, has his machinery in working order and is now sawing lumber. But just a little joke on Mr Baker: He would have been ready sooner, but in packing his tools, etc, to remove here, he had his belts put in the fire-box of the furnace, and after getting his boiler, engine and carriage placed, ne told tne nreman to "fire up," so that he could see if everything worked smoothly, and, lo.and behold,when he was informed that everything was in readiness for the belts to be put on and steam turned on, he had no belts. They 1 had helped in getting up steam. Then what du you think he did? He said: "Well,we won't be totally outdone; I will blow the whistle to let the folk know that part of it is all right, and then I will hustle around for more belts." He went off Friday to spend the week-end at his home at Central, and Monday morning was "on the job" with new belting, and now his machinery is in drst-class working order. Mr and Mrs G F Gopfert and chil-: Jren have returned to their home at! Snellings, after spending some time j pleasantly with old-time friends and acquaintances in this vicinity. They *vere accompanied by Messrs A P J Buffkin, A R Eaddy and Early i Dewitt. I, We note with regret the recent llness of Mr A R Eaddy, but all are ; jlad that he is somwhat improving. Mr D C Cantey, a worthy citizen i Workman, spent the week-end < vith his daughter, Miss Pauline, i 1 White Oak's efficient teacher, at the 1 iome of Mr and Mrs A P Buffkin. < The White Oak baseball team will < SENATE PASSES BOND RESOLUTION?25 TO 4 FOR ISSUE OF $35,000,000 TO BUY COTTON AT 10c, OR LOAN 9c TO PLANTER ON NOTE & RECEIPT. Columbia. October 21:?Rejecting amendment after amendment and disregarding a desperate eleventh hour fight, the Senate this afternoonj passed the joint resolution of voting, $35,000,000 five-year 5 per cent, cot-1 ton bonds for the purpose of the j State buying up the cotton crop.! Thp vote was overwhelming?25 to i 4, in addition to a pair being an-1 nounced. The measure now goes to the House. All efforts to change the measure j were rejected by heavy majorities. An amendment by Senator Christen-1 sen to eliminate the buying feature | and retain only the loaning feature was rejected 8 to 24. Under the I bill the State will either buy the cot- j ton outright from the producer on | a basis of ten cents per pound, or j the producer can give his note to the State, together with the warehouse receipt, and obtain a loan of nine cents per pound. In either case the Droducer must DUt up 10! per cent in cash for interest and cost charges. Under the bill the benefits are for the producer of cotton, or for the land owner on which the cotton is grown, and holders of cotton for benefit of producers or land owners. An amendment was adopted, at the suggestion of Senator Nicholson, extending the benefits of the bond issue to those corporations or persons who purchased cotton outright or took it in on accounts at ten cents per pound prior to October 20, provided that such cotton was grown in this State and that such persons or corporations be citizens of this State. play the Oak Dale team on the latter's grounds near Workman next Saturday.

Messrs G L Epps and H P Dubose, two of Workman's popular young gentlemen, spent the latter part of the week here with friends. A musical fete was very much enjoyed Tuesday evening at the home of Mr and Mrs A P Buffkin. The music was rendered by the White Oak string band. The prayer and song service recently organized at the White Oak school house, being conducted every Friday evening, is progressing very favorably. Everybody is invited.

DANGER IN DELAY. Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous for Kfugslree People to Neglect. The great danger of kidney troubles is that they so often get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them. Health will be gradually un- 1 dermined. Backache, headache,nervousness,lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright's disease often follow in merciless succession. Don't neglect your kidneys. Help the kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills, which are so ; strongly recommended right here in i this locality. Mrs H Rembert, 312 Cleland St, Georgetown,S C.says: "I had kidney complaint and suffered severely from dull, nagging backaches, headaches and dizzy spells. I didn't rest weii and mornings had no strength or energy. Reading of Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a box. It didn't take them long to relieve me. I have had no backache or other trouble from , my kidneys since." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that | Mrs Rembert had.

The General Assembly is floundering hopelessly in the shallows of the cotton problem, as it was inevitable it would. An intelligent solution of this question by legislation is an impossibility. It can be met only by the general principles of business and the fixed laws of economy, and it is out of the question to avoid some measure of loss to everybody concerned. A great market has been famnArorilu onr^ o ctonlo UCOVl V'J wU IC 111 ^J\Jl ai il J UUU u gtupiv has become unsalable. Until the market is restored, which can only be by the re-establishment of peace in Europe, it is impossible to escape losses or avoid harcships. Noamount of legislation by States or the United States will restore peace among the warring nations of Europe, and no law can make a new market for cotton. Provision can be made for carrying the surplus cotton and diversification of industry can lighten the burden that must be borne until normal conditions are restored. Business intelligence can accomplish those things; not legislation. The various schemes that have been proposed for enactment into law all fail, under scientific test, to meet the necessities of the situation. It is about time these facts were frankly recognized and admitted, that futile en deavors were abandoned and the way left open to intelligent and practical consideration of a serious situation. The General Assembly of South Carolina,which has done nothing and can do nothing to solve the question,should now adjourn the extra session to which It should never have been convened. ? Charleston Post. K. P. JOIN COTTON MOVEMENT. Scranton Lodge Names Committee to Buy-a-Bale from Members. Scranton,October 20:?At the first meeting this month of Scranton Lodge, Knights of Pythias, a motion was offered and carried that the lodge join the "buy-a-bale movement". A committee consisting of Dr W S Lynch and Messrs R B Cannon and S J Kirby was accordingly appointed to make the purchases. The motion provided that the cotton was to be bought at 10 cents a pound, and the seller must be a member in good standing of Scranton Lodge, No 114, K of P, and not more than one bale to be bought from one member. His friends will be glad to know that Mr Lonnie Lynch is improving as well as could be expected. A few days ago Mr Lynch was taken to an infirmary, where he successfully underwent an operation for appendicitis. At the next meeting of Scranton council of the Junior Order, A M, Tuesday night, October 27, some important business will be transacted. All members are urged to be present. m I M G. The Red Cross got 1,000 handkerchiefs, and the money to buy 1,000 more, to send abroad to the warriors of Europe. Let's see, figures a statistical sharp: that's 2,000 handkerchiefs among some 8,000,000 soldiers, minus the 7,000,000 Germans already killed in the war dispatches. That would be 500 mon t-n fi Mflvhp thn handkerchiefs are to be used to pick up the pieces after the men have been blown up. By all accounts, there is not much left of them.?Columbia Heard.
