Cotton is steadily advancing in price, and to enable the farmers to reap the benefits they should hold their cotton off the market for the present. It is thought by men who have studied the situation that cotton will go to 20c per pound before the 1917 crop is harvested. # The State Warehouse System was established to enable farmers to hold their cotton and borrow money on cotton certificates at low rates. There are several of these warehouses in the county at the disposal of farmers who wish to hold their cotton. Chantanqna Coming Again. ? % . ? m a! T?_J The third visitation 01 me iuiucliffe Chautauqua attractions in Kingstree is scheduled for November 7, 8 and 9. Heretofore these attractions have been a source of splendid entertainment and highly enjoyed by the people of the county. Last year the guarantors fell short in the amount of money pledged and had to make up the difference out of their own pockets. This was probably due to bad weather. But we trust that the people of the town and county will remember that the mem who sign for this course of high class entertainment do not do so with a view to making money; all they want is enough to pay expenses and it behooves you to lend your assistance to those who have taken it upon themselves to bring these entertainments into the town, by purchasing season tickets. The chautauqua will be here during two days of the county fair and should be a success in all particulars. The place of holding will be decided upon as soon as a meeting of the guarantors can be held and this should be done without delay. Richard I. Manning. A correspondent of the Bishopville Leader and Vindicator sends the following to that paper from Stokes Bridge: Come all ye "Bleasites" If you want to know, The story of how the election did go: Richard I Manning, Is the rounder's name, Jn the Governor's office 'Where he won his fame. iHe has been our Governor .For the last two years, In spite of all the Bleasites' tears; They fought mighty hard, But 'twas all in vain Far Richard I Manning wis our Governor's name. ' Chorus: Rirh-arH T Manninc Who still holds his office, Richard I Manning ; Is the rounder's name, ./Richard I Manning Has been re elected . For the Governor's office vWhere he won his fame. Hurrah for Manning. This little song of only one verse and chorus can be easily sung to the tune of Casey Jones.

L How a Turbulent Sea iV.a/ 3c Calmed a by Rising Air Bubbles. ?j Phiiiji iiruslier, a vouog engi^ necr a!: i a gradual" o: i'rucetori ' university. >aul tu iii.ux-if not long ago, "If "the inah;-.- the wav is, e i why r.'?t use air m motion m aa! otlior ir-iv t<i ?.:i. i! i< ? *. t* 11 i watersA:n! the nm* .nis.iiug j; j part of tins M-cmmgiv :Ini idea , j is that he has made it a fad. True, , i he has not calmed the tempest, hut ! he has ro!?l?r*<i the waves of their ) I '; power to ?i > harm and saved a costj ly pier that would in all likelihood j have been smashed to hits or badly damaged by the billows. He was able to perform this seeming marvel at El Segundo, Cal., by means ' j of a breakwater of bubbles. This novel breakwater is noth^ j ing more than iron pipe laid upon ^ i the ocean's sandy bottom. It is pierced with small holes, from ^ j which streams of air bubbles can j rise surfaceward when compressed ! air is forced into the piping. The j pipes are laid so as to rest right I across the path of the oncoming waves, and the rising bubbles catch ^ the waves before they can reach the pier and rob them of their strength ls bv upsetting tiie motion inside of ; the waves. The billows collapse ' like stricken giants and then roll landward without power enough left to do the pier harm. "But," you will ask, "how can air bubbles do what a big stone wall sometimes y fails to do ?" n To the eye each wave seems to I be a separate body of surging wa;o ter and apparently goes sweeping d along. But this is not really the ;s fact The mass of the water does ir not move forward. A wave robbed of its internal motion collapses and cannot pass on this motion to the water next ahead of it In short, it cannot create another wave. The way to upset this internal motion, ^ then, is to disturb or break up the j body of the wave. Mr. Brasher does this by the explosive action of rising air bubbles, and thus he halts 1 the travel of the energy which causes wave after wave.?Robert Q. Skerrett in St Nicholas. a _ -s At Wedding Breakfast. After a marriage recently the bridal party partook of a sumptun ous breakfast, toward the end of T nrViinVi o vnnnoror hrntVior nf t.hf* TT UXVU U J VUM^V* ?/ vwuv* *?v bride got up and said solemnly, raising his glass: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have to ^ propose a toast, which, however, ? must be drunk standing. Please 10 take your glasses and rise up/' The guests, although somewhat bewildered, did so. ^ "Now," said the young scapei(j grace, "if you will remain standing for a few minutes I'll find out who " has been sitting on my new hat."? London Tit-Bits. He Was Only One. lt A soldier who had just enlisted was placed on guard over a cannon. It was not long before he abandoned his post and went to a tavern not far off, where he indulged in ^ the flowing bowl. "Fellow, why did you abandon your post?" exclaimed the captain, who happened to put in an appearn ance. "Captain." was the reply of the incipient son of Mars, "I've tried to lift that cannon, and I'm satisfied no one can carry it away, and if more than one of the enemy comes after it I can't keep them off." " Strength of Paper. Froip an examination of various ir papers, prepared with different proy portions of rags, sizing and loading, [" it appears that the mechanical ' properties are improved by increas,r ing the proportion of rags. Resin sizing diminishes the strength, while y animal sizing increases it. An in^ crease in the proportion of rags, n also sizing of any kind, enables a larger proportion of loading mater=? ial to be retained by the paper. , Loading decreases the strength of all papers, the percentage of loss approximating 2.2 times the per s centage of loading material. f, - An Invitation. g A good story is told of an elder in an English church, who on one - occasion had to take the pulpit in It-he absence of the minister at the last moment. He got through the first part of the service all right, but on getting up to give the sermon he found his difficulty then. He started with, "Brethren (pause) ?b-b-brethren (pause)?b-b-breth ren, if any of you wants the conceit taken out of you come up here/' Getting the Wrong Man. "There is something wrong with the social system," remarked the thoughtful woman. 'fWhat makes you think so ?" "That bandit who made all kinds of trouble is still roaming the world a free man, and my husband, who is as conscientious and law abiding a citizen as you want to meet, is locked up on jury duty."?Washington Star. !c^^i S02IE people extend invitations to th The/ *~.rry on their persons or in A C.75CK BOOK is of no use i check is GOOD AS CASH to the hnuekolc; mts.
