Cotton Market Has Item \cr\ous and I nsettled During tin- Week. New York. June 27.?The cotton market has been nervous and unset? tled during the past week with prices easing off under more or less general realising. Old crop months broke ??uther sharply today owing to the cir? culation of July notices and estimated st about ir?,000 bales, but new crop delleverles have shown a certain steadiness of undertime, owing to tlnued covering and reports of trade buying on comparatively mod? erate dips. The steady old imp sit? uation and the continued activity of mill consumption seemed to have strengthened convictions that a full crop will be needed next year, und while there hss been a tendency to take a favorable view of conditions, It Is considered too early in the sea? son for any feeling of certainty as to the actual yield. The government's crop report, to be Issued at noon on July 3, will give both the acreage aud million ss of June "6. Private re? ports so far issued, have been some? what conflicting, but Most of the ad? vices received have indicated some improvement In the outlook and the local trade Is talking an official con? dition figure of around 81 to 82 per cent, comparing with 71?. 1 per cent last month and 80.4 per cent last year. This would suggest a fair Improve? ment for the month of June, but with the most critical months still ahead there appear to have ?>? en few traders disposed to base aggressive bear op? erations on the new crop outlook.

CHOLERA AND ITS CONTROL. t lein so 11 College Intension Work? Press if u I let m No. ill. (My M. Hay Powers.) Hog cholera bus caused enormous losses throughout South Carolina dur? ing the past year ami the disease is still prevalent. Although treatment b un less, it Is possible by observing necessary sanitary measures and by the use of serum, to successfully raise bogs' e\? n if cholera exists in a com? munity. The disease could be eradi? cated from the State, but this cannot be done under present conditions, therefore hog owners must be Inform? ed as to the methods of Control, etc. How to Itwogtilzc Hog Cholera. Two forms of types of cholera are recognized. 1. The acute type ? in which death occurs in a few days. 2. The chronic form?In which hogs linger for a longer time and finally die or recover. The following Symptoms are most commonly shown. Unfortunately, however, all hogs affected with Chol? ? ra do not exhibit all of these symp? toms: Loss of appetite?This may be par t till or complete, Indlness?Shown by staggering gait and difficulty in rising. Ahnormul breathing ? Hreathlng more rapidly?indicated by rapid ris? ing and fulling of the flank. Cough?Some cases develop a cough. Inflamed eyes?Eyes become rod, tin* lids often glued together by a Sticky discharge. Constipation and Diarrhoe!?Hogs are usually constipated at first, but la? ter the discharges Im come very soft and may be covered with mucous or blood. Discoloration of ihc skin - Along tin- abdomen, Inner side of thighs and forearms the skin is often red or purple. In chronic casts a black greasy discharge may appear at base of ears and on other portions of the body. In these cases large portions bf the skin may slough off.

MANY OF THEM DOING GOOD WORK FOR FARMERS. President Barrotl Urge* Fimwi tn Pom Their own Enterprises and Make Then successful. To The Farmen of South Carolina:? Th? letter below to the members of the Farmers' Union from National President Barrett should awaken some pride in your calling and in your State. There are sonn- Farmers' Union enter? prises in South Carolina that are suc? ceeding. Why not make them so nu? merous as to cover the State? The papers have recently been full Of ad? ditional plans to help the farmer to do better marketing. First the Farmers' Union secured the National Bureau of Markets; next North Carolina's Hoard of Agriculture established a division of Markets; now Commission? er Watson will organize a market ?action in his great department of the State government; and every confer? ence has some feature of marketing on its program. It you could realize "how much the Farmers' Cnion lias contributed to? wards these constructive measures and others that are making for econ? omic and social betterment, you would all want to he In the Farmers' I'nion. On July 13*24 at the Isle of Palms, Charleston. S. C, the 7th, annual meeting of the South Carolina State Farmers' Cnion will be held. The first day will be open to the public, farmers and business men of the State This meeting will be devoted to a study of three things that ought t<> appeal to every man Who stands for progress in the State?The Marketing Of Cotton, The Cse,Misuse and Pur? chase of Commercial Fertilizers, and how to btllld up the Farmer's Cnion. You are all invited to come and contribute your part to the solution of these three important subjects. A full program will be published Jost as soon as we are sure what speakers will ac? cept the invitation of the Executive Committee to make addresses. E. W. DA P.HS, President S. C. State Farmers' Uni? on sfayeavllle, s. c June 28, mn To the Oflicors and Members of the Fanners' Union. I have just Completed a trip of 11, ?00 miles. 1 visited many states, and in that long journey taking practi? cally a month, I personally saw hun? dreds of Farmers' Union enterprises, and not one that is not prospering and doing well. Just think about that a little, Bro? ther, if there has been a failure of any importance among Union enter? prises In the past several months, 1 have tailed to learn about it. You who are constantly decrying the lack of a plans, have some food for thought In that. Everywhere I found s growing spirit of co-operation aiming farmers, particularly in the Farmer's Union, a purpose and intent to Stand by our enterprises, to boost them, to stick together to make them su< cess ful. Isn't the fact that no failures have occured f*?r some time, that a majori? ty of the enterprises are successful, growing, exi indlng, something to put Courage and faith and hope in you? When you think of the number of thousands Of failures throughout the country in almost every line of busi? ness from month to month, one takes i heart of hope over the showing made by the farmers, co-operating, pulling together, and making their enterpris? es go. As further evidence of agricultural progress I want to tell you that the State of Washington has just passed a special co-operative measure, which will give the necessary machinery for Intelligent launching of enterprises among white farmers. Tin- idea is growing, too, and is sure to spread across the country. Those far Western fellows have grit and hustle and ability. They are fat advanced in co-operative work; they See ItS value because they have tested it thoroughly they are becoming pow? erful factors In tin* mighty progress of that section, because that they have learned and arc practicing tin* art of co-operation. 1 wanted to drop these few thoughts about tiie advancement in co-opera? tion among men who net th. ii living from the soil and i.? stress the fact that practlcall) all enterprises are go? ing ahead and doing something to back up weak kneed. timid, easily discoui aged bi u( her. Don't sil down and expeel the theo nrlsts and upllftcrs tu work out your salvation; sink to your Pulon and its enterprist . and you will begin t<? get omewhere lowurds the farmer's real email1 I pal Ion. c. s HARRRTT, President National Farmer's Union, Mlsmarck, \ D?

Jimirini Services Attended by Tbe Largest Crowd Seen at Such Cere? mony in Thai Section. Peak, June 21*.?The death of John I?. Jacobe, his wife and four children, disclosed When their in.me was dis? covered in dames early Saturday morning is o mystery that will never be solved. A day of calm investiga? tion following the discovery of the awful tragedy has ihown only that human hands and not a lightning bolt or a chance tongue of flames resulted In the sudden death of six persons as they slept in their home in the rich I Hitch Fork section of Lexington county, live miles from Peak. only two chimneys and a pile of ashes and debris represent today what was Friday evening the sub? stantial home of a prosperous planter. The charred remains of a family of six were this afternoon buried in a single grave at the family burying ground on the Jacobs' plantation. The bodies, horribly burned, show only that the skulls of three were crushed. This is regarded in the light of other deevlopments, as conclusive proof that they were murdered and did not meet death from the flames that burned the house. The fire that burned the house destroyed any evi? dence of the murder. A theory at first entertained by many that the family might have been burned to death when the house they occupied was destroyed is dis? missed by the statements of numer? ous residents of the community, woo declare that the storm that passed over this section between 8 and 10 o'clock was over at !<? o'clock. Se? vere lightning accompanied this storm, but no lightning was seen by neighbors after 10 o'clock. The tire was discovered between 3.30 and 4 o'clock. Persons first on the scene found the front of the house con? sumed but the rear still burning. The house was burning rapidly then and COUld not , say early arrivals, have been burning since the early evening, as Would have been the case if the origin had been lightning. Other suppositions are hardly less baffling. John I>. Jacobs was a highly respected ami prosperous farmer. His dealings with all men had been hon? orable and none of his closest friends can furnish even a remote motive for this horrible crime. Neither he nor any members of his family were known to have an enemy. Robbery would not have attracted vandals, for there could not have been more than an Inconsiderable sum of money in the house. The jewelry known to , have been there has been found in the ruins and identified In whole. The body of Miss Ellen Jacobs was found In the ruins of what had been hr room. It rested on the charred remnants of her bed. Mrs. Jacobs' body was found In a similar position In her room. The bodies of John D. Jacobs and Orin Jacobs, the youngest of three sons, were together on the springs of their bed. The bodies of Leslie Jacobs, 18, and Hugh Jacobs, lf?, could not be distinguished. These were almost consumed and those who viewed the bodies have not been able to say which was separated from the bodies of father and brothers. One was found in the dining room adjoin? ing the room In which the father and two boys were found. Mr. Jacobs and his three sons occupied the room connected with the dining room by a window or door. Parts of four guns and an axe, all believed to have been th property of members of the Jacobs' household, were found in the ruins. The wood work all had been burned, only the iron and steel re? maining intact. The axe was a new One and had not, it is said, been ground. In one gun was found two shells. One, it Is believed, had been fired while the other was discharged by the heat. This belief is based on tin- discovery that an indention h found (?n one shell where it had vi denty been struck by the hammer, while the other bore no su?h im? print. [ The funeral services f<?r the family was conducted this afternoon ;?t the former home of Walter Jacobs, a few hundred years from the home of his late brother. Walter Jacobs several years ago moved to Newherry and sine?* he vacated it this house lias not been occupied. The funeral and in? terment attracted a great crowd from several counties. Probably no fune? ral in this section has been s>> largely attended and by persons from such a distance.

(>li\?-r Price and a woman, who he claims to be his wife, left here Sat? urday morning >" a car hired from the Smith Garage, utter beating their board bill at tWO places in town. Their auto ride turned out to be a joy ride, which will probably turn out very se? rious for them if they are appre? hend* ! by the Columbia police, for they wer?-, at last accounts, stopping there, until they could make their way to some other place. Price came to Sumter to work for Mr. II. T. Edens at his garage, hut worked only a few days before he quit. He ilrst stopped at the Sumter Hotel, and later at a private board? ing house on Hauser street. Saturday lie hired a car from Smith's Garage and started out for Dalzell. A t that plat e he decided he would e.o on to Camden and after a telephone com? munication between the driver, Hob son Schuyler, ucd Mr. Smith, the car started on to Camden. Arrived at Camden arrangements were made for starting back about four that after? noon, but it was some time later than that bet?r?' they started. Price tried to persuade Schuyler to take him on to Columbia, but this the boy refused to do. They started back to Sumter, but .after they had come several mils, Price and the woman overpow ered the boy?they had two uarts of liquor in the car when they started from Sumter and this supply was re? plenished during their stay in Cam? den-?turned the car about and staneo back to Camden, bound for Columbia. < >n the way they found young Schuy? ler unmanagable and Price hired a negro to hold him in the back of tho car, while he ran it. He gave as his reason that the boy was t???> dru.ik to manage the machine. They passed Camden a second time ami went on as tar as Lugotf. Near tins place they frightened a horse ami the man ?Iriving the buggy held up Price and his car, threatening to shoot them If they were not more cautious in future in passing people on the public road. At this point Schuyler took a hand. He telephoned to Mr. Smith at Sumter and told him of the Circumstances under which the car had come to Lugoff. He then se? cured th?* switch from the car and ran ?>ff with it. Later he secured pro , tectlon from one of the men there and went back to the car. He refused to take Price and the woman any fur? ther and they set out for Camden, where they boarded tin* Seahourd train for Columbia. In tin- meantime Mr. Smith and A. C. Schuyler set out from Sumter for Camden, meeting young Schuyler sev? eral miles ?m this side of Camden. He had left Lugoff shortly after he hud secured possession of the car and had started immediately for home. I They were located at that place Monday m??rning and Mr. Smith wa-' ?ndeavoring to have them arrested, by swearing out a warunt over long distance telephone. Mr. Smith gave full particulars of the affair this morning to an Item re? porter, saying that he would swear out a warrant against Price for as suult and battery and stealing the car. He hud not been paid anything fot the rent of the car, the pair having succeeded in beating him out of his money, as they had beat others cut of their board bill. PEACE PROSPECTS DETTER.
