UNION, 8. C., APRIL 28, 1905.
The drop of 23 cents per bushel
in the price of wheat in the Chicago
grain pit was a nice little sum to
lose on 18,(XX),000 bushels. The
May wheat corner was a gigantic
speculation which fell through greatly
to the consternation of the hulls
and delight of the bears. Doe.'
this reduce the price of Hour any?
We hope so. Always glad to hear
of a break in a corner on bread
stuffs.
One could hardly regard it very
consistent or becoming in the Hon
Colo L. Mease, appointed by tin
general assembly as one of tin
investigating committee to investi

Less than two years ago the bicentenary
of Joint Wesley's birth wais
commemorated. Bohemia is now
erecting at Prague a costly monument
to John Hubs. In loOo, four
centuries ago, John "Knox was born.
Although the exact ditto is not
known, the Presbyterians of Scotland
will oltserve Sunday, May 21st;
nor should the occasion pass unmarked
by others. The church
may have modified Knox's theology,
but the world bats not outgrown
bis intellectual honesty and moral
courage.
OGDEN PARTY.
We publish in this issue of the
Times on the first page what is intended
its a reply of the. Manufacturers
Record to an editorial of the
State. There seems to l>e still a
difference of opinion between the
Staite and the Record anal Dr.
Hatcher and every one else who expressed
in print a different opinion
to thait entertained and expressed
by the Staite as to the real motive
of the Ogdcn movement. The
Conference for Education in the
South so far as Ogdcn is concerned
to our mind cannot he that purely
disinterested, noble generosity,
philanthropy which aetuaites one
trull. *1? '
..?t?j ...oniii? 11ic (Mi?iiiuiion <?i education.
We cannot think that
Dr. Hatcher is blinded by prejudice;
but for the Manufacturers
Record we are not prepared t > vou< h
along this line of thought. We
have had no reason to change our
views, from those expressed by us
last year when the Ogdcn party
paid Winthrop College a pop call
en route to Birmingham. We arc
truly glad that the conference was
held in Columbia this year, for the
reason that if the conference is really
not what it purports to he from
the standpoint of the State, the
opportunity will thus be afforded
to find out what is really and truly
the meaning, and we feel fully assured,
if there is anything or lacking
in the conference which is short
of the ideals, the State will detect >
it, and have the manhood to fear- ]
i
I
iessly expose it, as this paper was p
no doubt instrumental especially in 11
securing the acceptance of an invi- j
tation to meet in Columbia this j,
year, imbued as it was with a spirit
of pride and purpose that South ti
Carolina?that is Columbia should *
have the honor and advantage of 5
entertaining so distinguished a lxxly J
of educators and at the same time s
reap the benefits of so intellectual a (
conference. 1
WHAT SULLY SAYS.
Cotton King (iives Wise Advice
to Cotton Planters.
To the Cotton (Irowersof the South:
"If you wish to win your battle i
and obtain a fair price for your cotton
you must reduce your acreage
very considerably.
You have surprised the world ?by j
the manner in which you hare held
your cotton.
Surprise it again l?y cutting down
your cotton acreage.
Ib> not be led astray by the pres- '
cut steadiness of prices.
Three causes have contributed to
bring about, this rise of more than .
1 oho oont <i tioiind.
First. The urgent demand aris- {
: ing from an unprecedented eon- j
. sumption.
Second. Your courage and wis- j
dom in making the buyer meet your
! terms. |
Third. The lielief that you would |
cut your acreage to such an extent j
I that the supplies from ihinvrop I
the growth t?f lOOo-OG would make
a eominereial crop no longer than
the world needs.
The lirst two causes lose their
force the moment it is known that
' there is a prospect for a moderately
large rrop next year.
Even if the mills take 12,000,000
hales during the current season,
this would leave a carry-over-of
1 1,">00,000 hales. Hence the neces
sity of a smaller crop this year.
f Do not let any rise in prices bci
tween now and the end of the plantI
ing season deter you from reducing
your acreage.
Such an advance would be merely
> anticipating that you were making
- the decrease which your friends
\ have advised you to make.
If the June report of the govcrn-ImMnl.^liMWfS
t,llilt, yon luiYi' failed b
tue advance would l>e the speculators
who sell their futures at a
profit.
The price of the cotton you produce
will la; regulated by the actual,
not the expected, reduction.
Don't depend on your neighbor
to do the reducing.
In this matter of acreage reduction
hear in niind three suggestions:
Don't rely on had weather to cut
down the size of the crop.
Don't put a Iarce icri?jny<? inP,
cotton simply because it is too late
to plant corn or other diversified
crops.
It would Ik* far I Hitter to let part
of your land lie idle than to run
the risk of raising a crop so large
as to make possible another period
of low-priced cotton.
I am making this appeal to you
because 1 regard the next few weeks
as critical to the south and because
, I believe that every man who is
interested in the welfare of the south
should urge the importance of a
reduced acreage.

BIG REVIVAL AT "jONESVILLE.
Death of Two Good People?Personal
News.
Jonesville, April 2-lth. The cold
snap last week killed many nice
bean patches and other tender vegetables
but iK)tatoes and the fruit
was only partially injured and it
seems at this time that there will
be a fair fruit crop after all.
Farmers are quite busy planting
their cotton crop while the most of
the corn crop will not be planted
till the c. otton seed is put in the
ground.
Mr. Henry Gallman died at his
home on Captain Foster's Wright
place last Wednesday. Mr. Gallman
was a g<H)d citizen, a Christian
man and a kind father and loving
husband. He leaves a wife, several
children and many near relatives to
mourn his (loath, hut not as those j
who have no hope, for he left testi- ^
mony that he had made his peace \
with his God. <
Mrs. A. O. Bprousc died at her f
home in town last night. She had j
suffered much with consumption j
and laid during her last illness (

united with the Methodist church. j
She leaves a husband, seven children ,]
and many kindred and friends to ?
mourn her death. u
The meeting which had been in a
progress for nearly two weeks at the $
Methodist church closed last night. Gi

Saturday, held quarterly conference
md came hack to Jonesville and
^reached yesterday morning and
ast night, two strong and forceful
sermons, the one in the morning
m the resurrection of Jesus Christ
md the one at night concerning the
ton virgins. There were several
stands of lieautiful flowers placed
upon the pulpit, tables and organ to
remind the audience that Easter,
though late in the season, had come
again, and that if the ladies could
not break an alalmstor Ik>x of ointment
upon the Savior's head they
could honor his memory with lovely
flowers early on Easter morn. At
the close of the services last night
the sacrament of the Ixird's supper
was administered to a large number
of communicants by Presiding Elder
Kilgo.
Roy Whitlock who is at Clemson
ran down home last Friday to spend
Easter with his parents.
I attended U. S. court in Greenville
last week and visited the family
of that line old gentleman llenry
F. Means, who is now ncaring his
00th birthday, and his good wife
just ton years younger than her
husband,arc a venerable couple that
have done many alms deeds in their
long lives and are still remembering
j the poor. Mrs. Means, when I
r went to leave, dropped a piece <>f
money into my hand to give to an
I old nouro u.t Jonesville that she once
J owned as a slave.

He only attended the countr
schools of this community, an<

Why, the name is carved on every
heart that loves the memories ol
Hampton and Hampton's old Legion
and the "Ia>st cause;" it is
graven on the soul of South Carolina
!
In his home in Yorkvillo Thursday
afternoon, the spirit of James
F. Hart, maker of an imperishable
name, died. A stranger still on the
other shore. "Frank" Bamberg's
gallant arms opened to meet the
comrade and commander. "Ned"
I Halsey was there lie fore him.
! Around the colors in Louis Sherfersec's
hands the reunion of
Hart's Battery goes on. Many, so
many of them, answered to their
names at the crack of the rifle and
the scream of the shell more than
forty years ago. Then, the few
who were permitted, took up the
weary march; plodding on and
fighting the hard battles of peace
since '(>f>. Now it is almost ended.
Here and there one lingers, but fast
and faster on this side the ranks
grow thin.
For Hart and Bamberg and their
fellows, the men and women, who
guard the legacy of the warriors renown
they left, how in reverent
sorrow. But tlwv * 1 x
