COTTON MEN MEET.
May Ask President lor Conference
on Question of Marketing.
Plars for marketing the cotton
crop of the South were discussed at
an informal conference in Columbia
last Saturday.
"The prospects for the South in
the coming crop year are regarded
with optimism," said one of the officials
attending the conference, "provided
the United States can clear up
with satisfaction certain differences
of opinion between this country and
England over the embargo placed
upon cotton being shipped through
the neutral ports, and provided far
ther the proper support is given bj
the regional reserve bank system ii
financing the new crop.
A- F Lever, member of Congresi
and chairman of the agricultura
committee of the House, actea ai
chairman of the meeting. Mr Lever
Commissioner Watson and T B Stack
house were appointed a committe<
to prepare a letter to be presente<
to President Wilson, expressing th<
sentiment of the conference on th<
cotton question. Mr Lever will asl
President Wilson for a conferenc<
on the situation.
Among those attending the con
ference were: A F Lever, Commis
sioner Watson, president of th<
Southern Cotton congress; Wad<
Stackhouse, M D, of Dillon, presi
dent of the South Carolina Cottoi
congress, J Arthur Banks of Calhoui
county, R M Cooper of Wisacky, 1
B Stackhouse of Columbia, Walter I
Sullivan of Columbia and John I
McLaurin, State warehouse com
mis3ioner. William Banks, edito
of The Columbia Record, was elect
ed secretary of the conference.
After the meeting the followinj
statement was issued:
"In view of the fact that the lacl
of concert of action might cause i
diversity of views and an attendan
unnecessary depression of feelingreflected
subsequently in the priceit
was decided to issue a public state
ment that the interests of the cottoi
farmers will be looked after witl
the closest attention during the nex
few weeks, and if matters do no
shape properly, there will be a cal
upon the people for an expression ii
another form."
DO NOT LAY-BY TOO SOON.
Cotton Should Receive Shallov
Cultivation Throughout Growth
It is wrong to lay-by cotton at ai
early date, though many farmer
seem to wish to do that very thing
Cotton should be cultivated un'ti
many bolls are mature and to lay
by the crop a considerable time be
fore maturity is to take chances o:
suffering heavily from drought.
Shallow cultivation is one of th<
farmer's most effective ways of sav
ing moisture in his soil. It puts a dust
blanket over the soil and the mois
ture is unable to evaporate througl
this dust blanket. The blanket, oi
mulch, is destroyed when the grounc
has baked hard or when it rains anc
il uiust uc icinuvcu uv tuuivoiiui
after every rain.
There is no wisdom in leaving cot
ton to shift for itself during the lat
ter part of its growth. If cultiva
tion stops and the crop is laid-by
the soil may lose its moisture, i
drought may follow, and the cottor
will suffer.
Clemson College is advising shal
low cultivation of cotton until ma
turity, to prevent loss of moisture
and to help to prevent the fruii
from falling.
"School Farm" Idea a Good One
We wish that the teachers, patrons
and committeemen of every school
in the South would consider the
school farm idea. We are convinced
that in thousands and thousands of
schools such a school farm could be
established to the great benefit of
the community. The school farm ?
which is usually about four acres in
size?has three advantages:
1. It aids in teaching agriculture
by furnishing practical demonstration
work.
2. It provides funds for the better
support of the school, the cotton, tobacco,
peanuts, or whatever crop is
i-oicofl r>n t-V-in 1 orirl Vioinnr cnlrl nnrl
SHI0VU V/U VUV tMUUf WV *"?> WVIVI ItiiU
the money put into the school treasury.
3. Last, but not not least, the
school quickens and develops the
community spirit. The patrons who
come together to do the work get a
new sense of their oneness and develop
an increased sense of comradeship
and neighborliness.
It is now too late to do much with
the school farm idea, this year and
we only regret that we neglected to
emphasize the matter earlier in the
season. Next year we hope to begin
advocating the plan in ample time
to get it started in many new communities.

of Education, Washington, D C, has
published one or more interesting
bulletins on the subject which we
commend to those interested.? The

<* THE CONVERSION OF SILAS, j
<? <? <?
Of all the fossils in our town
Si Haskins was the boss.
1 He said the autymobile never
Would replace the hoss.
1 He allers uster sneer and snort
Whenever one went by,
' And when he'd see one busted down
He'd laugh till he'd cry.
i
s He said the owners all were fools
I To go and spend their dough
I For Am goldarned contrivances
i That never seemed to go.
. Them devil-wagons got his goat:
r He'd never fall for one,
i Of all the gol-durn foolisness
Gas wagons took the bun.
? One day a nephew died and left
An old one-lunged machine
5 A-standing out in old Si's barn.
' Si got some gasoline
[ And poured it in the gosh-durn thing
To see if it would start.
He cranked it up and thought he'd try
To drive the old gas cart.
t He drove it down the road all right,
? Forgetting all his care
And rode around till almost night
And visited everywhere.
- Next morning bright and early,
e He was pounding down the street;
s He scared the hosses right and left,
And knocaed folks off their feet.
3
a A week from then he bought a car.
p It was a high-hoss power.
3 He didn't take time to eat.
But drove it every hour.
He raced with everybody who
r Showed up within a mile;
He said you might as well be dead
As not to be in style.
? His whiskers blew out in the breeze..
As down the road he flew:
* He said, "I'll show these go'i-ding
1 boobs
1 A fancy trick or tew."
He spent all his waking hours
In showing them new tricks,
' Four cylinders became too tame,
1 And so he bought a six.
3
t He's been arrested nineteen times
t For speedin' so they say.
1 He's got his whiskers all shaved off,
i For they got in his way.
He talks of touring cars all day
And dreams of them at night
And nowadays whenever he sees
v A piece of horse flesh pass
He sort o'chuckles, sneering like,
And hollers out: "No class!"

1 perfect substitute for calomel.
J It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
: which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
' make you sick and cannot salivate.
Children and grown folk can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
' mercury and attacks your bones.
1 Take a dose of nasty calomel today
1 and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
day's work. Take a spoonful of
[ Dodson's Liver Tone instead and
; you will wake up feeling great. No
more biliousness, constipation, sluggishness,
headache, coated tongue
or sour stomach. Your druggist
says if you don't find Dodson's Liver
5 Tone acts better than horrible, cal'
omel your money is waiting for you.
! Pull a long face if you must, but
hang a mask over it while others are
' around.
Don't worry over people laughing
1 behind your back. Be thankful it is
not to your face.
The physical courage of some people
is so great they will fight anything
from a mosquito to a gnat.
Traveling Man's Experience.
"In the summer of 1888 I had a
very severe attack of cholera morbus.
Two physicians worked over
me from four a. m. to K p. m. without
giving me any relief and then

live; that I had best telegraph for

told him to buy me a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, and take no substitute.
I took a double dose according
to directions and went to sleep
after the second dose. At five o'clock
the next morning I* was called by

next stopping point, a well man but
feeling rather shaky from the severity
of the attack," writes H W
