devolutions |'u??cd by farmers.
Near the conclusion of the "Fertllls
i -Ii i>nomv l?uy" meeting In tho
(ourt house on Saturday the follow?
ing resolutions were Introduced by J.
Dunbar and endorsed by those
present:
Whereas. The State cotton ware?
house ?vstem Is a friend to the agri?
cultural Interest of South Carolina,
and will do more to aid the cotton
planter In getting remunerative
prices for the output of his labor *tban
any other agency now in existence.
Jgd\
Whereas, an effort has been made
in the present session of our legisla?
ture to repeal the act whereby the sys?
tem was inaugurated, that it might
be destroyed, antl
Whereas. We bSUgssj tho i n tl u e nee
brought to bear on its opponents in
the legislature originated with the
dton spinners and speculators, whose
ourpose is to take tho farmers' cotton
as it is forced on the market, at ru
iouous prices, thereby reaping large
profits at his expense;
Therefore, Be It Resolved. That we,
the farmers of Sumter county now in
session, do Indorse the State ware?
house system and will in the future
give no candidate for the legislature,
whether he be for the upper or low
?r branch of that body our support,
nless we know him to be a friend to
the system, and we call upon the
farmers all over tho State to stand
with us In the principles herein enun?
ciated.
Farmers' Fnlon News.
The enclosed better ought to bo in?
teresting reading to tho merchants of
Sumter vho deal In cotton goods and
?also to the farmers of Sumter county
nd ihe housekeepers who are de?
pendent upon tho farmers' success for
many of their comforts. We had a
splendid buy-a-bale at 10c* campaign
in Sumter last fall, several stores
paid thut much for customers' cot
?n Now let them get on to all the
fabrics that can be made from that
10c cotton and help to sell It by buy?
ing for us the cotton goods that will
turn the trick."
I think Sumter should deal In a
cotton goods campaign. I may be
o uncultured that I do not know the
difference, but my preference is for
eott.ot gsjsjff silk or linen every time.
\s I raise sheep I buy some wool
goods.
This In part of the work of the
?ommlttee of the National Farmers'
ion on the greater consumption of
?ottos and I trust the publisher will
-tot object to the advertising it gives

Director Long and State Veterinarian
IValey to Plan Campaign Against
nisen.se.
Columbia, Feb. 13.?Cholera threat?
ens many herds of hops in South Car?
olina, according to W. W. Long, State
agent in charge of the federal farm
demonstration service and director of
the extension work of Clemson col?
lege.
Mr. I^ong said yesterday:
"I am especially anxious about the
hog cholera situation in this State.
There is more hog cholera now than
there has been for several years. It
Is a matter of great concern to Dr.
Fealey, the State veterinarian, and we
propose to have a c?nfere ee Tuesday
at Clemson college to begin an active
campaign to overcome it. The farm?
ers should be exceedingly careful to
see that their herds are not in any
way brought in contact with diseased
animals, and I would advise that they
write to the State veterinarian at
Clemson college for instructions as to
how to care for their hogs, so as to
prevent an otbreak of this terrible
scourge. There is no remedy for hog
cholera. The injection of serum is
simply a preventive and the fact
must not be lost sight of that im?
munity from the injection of serum
will last only from three to eight
weeks."

Lund Registration.
News and Courier.
The Torrena land registration sys?
tem has advanced a step in this State.
Today the house passed the bill pro?
viding Tor the introduction of a sys?
tem along this line beginning in May,
19 HJ. The vote was practically unani?
mous, although many of the members
were frank to say that they did not
fully understand the details and scope
of the legislation. By a vote of 98 to
6 the bill was ordered to a third read?
ing and will go to the senate with the
approval of the house. The bill was
vigorously pressed by its joint authors,
Messrs. Hogers, of Dillon; Harris, of
Greenville, and Carey, of Pickens.
While there was no pronounced op?
position to the bill, Messrs. Toole, of
Alken, and Moise, of Sumter, thought
the measure was defective in certain
particulars and that it ought to be
remedied before its enactment. The
house, however, declined to make any
material amendments except that the
law should not become effective for
a year, which was the suggestion of
Mr. Cothran, with a view of allowing
the statute to go on the books and
next year pass amendments, if these
were necessary, which would give
ample opportunity for everyone to
study the statute.
Under the provisions of the bill
any one desiring to get a certificate
must apply to the Circuit Court, and
after giving notice to all interested
parties and upon a proper showing to
the court, a certificate is Issued which
is a clear title if the court so decides
up to that point. This certificate is
numbered and recorded, and all
mortgages, liens or trusts on the par?
ticular piece of property are record?
ed upon the same page and in con?
nection with the same numbered cer?
tificate, so that all transactions from
the date of the granting of the cer
ificate are easily found and must refer
to the patricular certificate issued by
the court.
The bill makes it discretionary as
to whether land owners should se?
cure such a certificate and there, is
nothing mandatory that it should be
secured. Under the terms of the law
a committee of lawyers in each coun?
ty Is to prepare the abstract of title
and secure the certificate from the
court, the idea being that everything
back of this certificate when it is once
issued is covered by the issuance of
the certificate granting a clear title
which is fully described in the rec?
ord at the time the certificate is au?
thorized by the court. It is urged that
such a certificate would be much more
readily negotiable and involve a mini?
mum of expense in case of transfer
and subsequent examination of titles.

I feel it my duty to let you know
what Swamp Hoot did for me. I was
bothered with my back for over twen?
ty years and at times I could hardly
get out of bed. 1 read your advertise?
ment and decided to try Swamp-Root.
Used five bottles, and it has been five
years since I used it, and I have never
been bothered a day since I took the
last bottle of it. I am thoroughly
convinced that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root cured me ?and would recom?
mend it to others suffering as I did.
My husband was troubled with kid?
ney and bladder troubles and he took
your Swamp-Root and it cured him.
This was about five years ago.
