Own I lands?Tho Mills Are Said tu- he on Short Time. , To the Cotton Growers of South Car? olina: The executive committee of the South Carolina division of the Uoilth ern Cotton association hus requc;;t?-d me to 's&ue an address in reference to tho acreage for 1908. Whatever may be the motives that, prompt .'t, It is a fact, nevertheless, that he cotton mills in America are rurning on ?'hcrt time; more limiting their h)urs per 'day and others run? ning only certain day* in the week, Tbe effect of this will be to curtail the cops'tmpticn of raw cotton. It la unquestionably true that we have made a r.ma'l crop?in fact so small thct if the mills wire running on full cimo It would hardly prove ad? equate to the demand. It is earnestly desired byNthe, manufacturing inter? ests to so curtail the use of raw cot? ton that they will have on hand a sur? plus at the time the new crop comes in. If the acreage in cotton is not re? duced, we will be confronted, perhaps, by a surplus of the old crop and a large acreage staring us in tho face. With those conditions the price of cotton would be put below the cost of production. The effect upon every branch of in? dustry and tile people throughout th3 South would be pitiable Indeed if we are again to httve low price cotton. The situation is entirely in the hands of the farmer, and I earnestly plead that they raise an abundance of home supplier, and this in Itself will neces? sarily reduce the cot*on acreage. I can assure the farmers of South Car? olina that Throughout the Southern States an earnest appeal is being made to tho farmers to adopt the coarse which 1 recommend tb you. I deem It my duty to sound ihip note of warning- In ample time to forestall hirgi crop for :908. if we can make our .supplies at home, our debts will be small and will not need much cctton to pay them Lct every fatmer profit by the expe? rience of the past and make enough at home to enable him t) be master of the' (situation. One course offers continued prosperity, the other finan? cial embarrassment, inability to meet your obligations and the thousands of other evils that exist in the South when cotton is cheap.

WHISKEY PRESCRIPTIONS. Total in Charlotte, X. c, for i907 Was 13,11)2?Some Interesting Fact**? significant Figures. Charlotte Observer, f After a laborious effort requiring mors than a month of.arduous work, an accurate list and computation of the number ol* whiskey prescriptions written during th? year 1907 has just been prepared. A statement Sppear ing In the papers a few days ago was prematare, unoffi^hil .is well as in? correct and that which heroin appears Domes direct from :hose who made the tabulations and is a'so author? ize J. The total number of prescriptions issued by Charlotte doctors during 1907 amounts to 43,192. All the pre? scriptions being tabulated on a basis of quarts, it w_ls discovered that the total number of quarts amounts to 39.635. The total beer certificates number 474 dozen bottles. Figuring that the whiskey sent out from thu drug stores > on prescriptions sold at an averages price of $1.25, it can be I seen that the amount of money ex? pended for the total number is $i9, 543.75. I The 474 dozen bottles of beer would likely average in price about 15 cents per bottle, which would amount to a total of $853.20. showing I that the drug stores received for the sale of whiskey alone during the past year the grand total of $50,3'JG.90, paying tribute to this city at the rate of $100 for the privilege. Only II I drug stores were given the license to Ideal In whiskey, and therefore, the Jetty only received a revenue of $1, 1400, while the drug stores received $50.396.90. The largest number uf prescriptions I issaed during the year by an jg^livid ual physician was 4,901. which would make an average of about 13 I for every day In the entire year, ln I eluding Sundays. The second highest Ion the list is 3,997; the third, $391; tho fourth,- 2,884; the fifth, 2,546; the sixth, 2.218; the seventh, 1.679; the eighth, 1,254; the ninth, 1,250; the tenth, 1161; the eleventh, 1,118; the twelfth, 986. I The physician who wrote 1,679 I whiskey prescriptions also wrote cer 1 tificates for 24 dozen bottles Of beer leading the list along this line. The lone who wrote 1,254 whiskey pre I scriptions wrote prescriptions for 20 I dozen bottles. Tho doctor who is? sued the 2,884 ab?o wrote *9 dozen I beer prescriptions, and is one of the I colored physicians of the city. One of the leading and oldest phy I slclans of the city wrote 20 prescrip? tions, another wrote 120. another 94. [The records show nothing farther I that U unusual about the numbers, I aside from those already given. The I old rating which applies to every I thing applies to the physicians,- and I all those whose names appear on the I register can be classed as radicals, I conservatives and extremists. There Iis probably little difference In the ex 1 tent of the practice of the ioctoi [who wroto 4,901, and the other *who wrote 20, and the variance mar b* I due to their individual ideas about I the efficacy of alcohol. One glancing over the records finds I some strange things. It is aparenl I that some of the druggists have been I misled and filled prescriptions upon I the signatures jpf doctors who do I not exist at alt This is no reflection I upon their Integrity as ft was impos I aible for them to keep readily in mind I the mmes of every physician in con I tiguous territory to Charlotte. Phy? sicians from Castonia. Concord, Monroe and all towns of such near I nese to this city sent prescriptions, I bona fide prescriptions, to be filled here, and :f .,. oeeasionally a fellow I forged a name of a doctor non exist I ent. che discredit cannot be ph\ced against the druggists. Upon the records sent up from one drug store, the name of a doctor of divinity appears as having authorized some bearer to obtain ono gallon of I wh'skey. This, of course, is an in I stance where the name of the minis I ter wa* forged by the holder and thoughtlessly passed over by the druggist, or a care where the minis? ter holds precisely the jume name and initial as some doctor * in North Carolina, Tho drug store Standing Si tho head of the list in the number of pre? scriptions filled sold a total of 5,579 quarts upon 6,2 )3 prescriptions and also 23 dc?en beers. The second highest rtands at 5,933 qu irts out of 5,893 prescriptions, and aho 13 dozen beers; the third sold 5,508 quarts from 5,256 prescriptions and 151 doz? en beers; the fourth sold 3,9*.7 quarts from 4,083 prescriptions and 10 doz? en beers. The remainder jf the stores vary from 3 57 to 3.500 in the number of totil prescriptions honored Figuring that the drug store that sold 5,571' quarts received an averag.? of $1.25 for a quart, a revenue ?>f ap? proximately $7,(100 was derived from the sale of Whlok?y, while the lleeno) to the city was paid more than font times with the IS dosen bottle t>f beer sold.

Editor Item: The medical profession, however its members may differ on ether ques? tions, arc unanimous in the (pinion that mosquitoes'play a very Important part in the dissemination of quite a number of diseases, and if this be true, and of it there can be no ques? tion, except on the part of those peo? ple who won't accept any evidence, then every possible effort should be made to exterr/dnate these pests, both as a matter of health and cemfort. As the result of the writer's obser? vations, he does not hesitate to af? firm that there is not a city or town in tho State, except the ones on the sea coast, and possibly a very few lo? cated near the larger rivers, that caai not be rid cf thet-e pests if a syste? matic warfare is waged against them, and the work of ?.?xtermination should begin without delay. The trouble is that mod people endure them under J the impression that there is iid help j for it, but this has been shown, time and again, to be n mistake, nd the j worst of it is that it is often . not only a costly but a very distressing mir take, la death in the fmily being often the I result jf a carelessness that is but lit I tic short of criminal. The female rrosquito denositc her j eggs in any stagnant water that is accessible, &nd once this is none we car look out for countless swarms of these disease carrying and sleep rob? bing insects, and it takes only a very small quantity of water to hatch the eggs; an eld tin can, carelessly thrown under a hedge, holding a half pint of rair. water will furnish an ample sup I pyl of mosquitoes for a whole neigh? borhood. Their powers of flight are j very pbor, and unless wafted, as is sometimes the case,, by a favorable j wind, ore seldom found far from where they are developed The only I possible medium for their hatching is J stagnant water and if this be removed J they simply perish. A good many I people labor umdei the delusion that j a se werage system will rid us of i.hese I pests, but the seWcrs do not carry off J a particic of surface water and have I no more effect in the way of getting J rid of these pests than the stringing I of telephone wires albug the streets, Sumter has always enjoyed the rep? utation of being a healthy place, and a repuation of this knid 13 of incalcu? lable value, and it is of supreme im I portanpe that this good name be pre I served; forSthe simple reason that it J is just as hard for a city to live down I a bad reputation as it is for the indl I vldual, and It will be well for the fu? ture growth of this rapidly growing I city if its people will keep this ever J in mind. The public spirited citi I zens of Sumer should see to it that j their city not only has a reputation I for business enterprise, but for, health I also. It is no exaggeration to say [that it would be worth at least $5,000 I a year to Sumter to be rid of th-.; mos ? j quito nuisance, and this riddance can ' j be accomplished by the intelligent 1 j expenditure of some time and BOsVvy. i j The warfare, however, must be sys : I tfcmatically and persistently carried I on and every citizen who leaves stag ?j trant water en his premises should be : j heavily fined. Wire screens will, to i some extent at least, Keep Ihem out I j of the house, but nobody feels liko i j staying in the house from sundown to I sunrise, to say nothing >>f the fact that ? I the young folks would be prevented II from making use of the hammocks I and joggling board, and this, to them at least, would be a deprivation too , I serious to be considered for a single J mcnent. What is needed Is for the drams to be kept thoroughly cleaned out, low J places that hold water to be either drained or filled in, or if this be im? practicable, the water treated with a little kerosene oil, and when this is done the mosquito will be a thing of the past so far as Sumter is concern? ed. If there is a city or town in th| state that is making any intelligent and systematic effort to rid itself of these pests, the writer has never heard of it. In the spring of 1906, the writer, at the time being a temporary resident of Columbia, tried to arouse the board of health to undertake a fight against the mosquito nuisance, but was informed that the board had no money for this purpose1. I The writer saw in the yards of the Southern railway workr' ops a good j many barrels containing rain water and in this water countless myriads of [those peits were being hatched out. The writer wishes it elearh under? stood that this article is Lot in any way intended as a criticism on any ef thi' city crlleials, but merely as a sug I gestion. To combat, with any hope of suc? cors, thl- pest, there must be a spe? cial Ofttser and he must give his whol J time hi the work. All the other city I Officials are, as a matter of course, kept busy in the discharge of th ir respective dutit s. This article is already too long, but one unsuspected breeding place for the mosquito is to be found in the holes in trees that retain rain water, and these will have to be looked after also. W. D.
