We say if i Robt. C.

The anti-dispensary leaders have become aroused to a degree of activity heretofore unknown to them and they are now moving in a solid phalanx to dissolve the temporary injunction, backed by the books of registration, the vote of the people and the undaunted enthusiasm horn oi a eonnuence 111 the success oi the undertaking they scent victory in the air. The dispensary advocates, plaintiff and defendants in the injunction proceedings were checkmated when an order was made allowing three anti-dispensary names to be a ided as co-defendants to answer the rule to show cause why the doors of the dispensary should not be closed. Since the new defendants will answer the rule, sharp practice is short lived, K. Hopkinson Smith in the September number of the ladies' Home Journal in "fat us go hack" draws a most charming, interesting and yet startling, glowing pen picture of the old time family fireside, in its pure, sweet affection and training, compared with the utter lack of all the ties, mother and child and home surroundings of the present day, which makes home the dearest place on earth. If every mother and father of this fair land of ours would read this article, they would surely strive to go back and , forever aliandon the present mode ( of raising, educating, amusing and controlling children. 11 PRESIDENT SMITH ON PRESENT SITUATION. Farmers Shoult Not Permit Success to Lead Them Into Indifference ?Price of Coming Crop Mr E. D. Smith, the State president of the Southern Cotton arsooiatlon, says: "I hope that the success of the Southern Cotton association will not make the farmers and business men 1 indifferent to the fact that now is the time for us to take advantage of what success we have had in order to guarantee the continuance of the good work," said he. Thero are invitations in this office for us to bo present at rally meetings in nearly every county in the State, I hope that every county will adopt the plan adopted in Spartanburg county which has worked so admlra uiy intro. 1I1U iuiiuwiug is mc (imu . The president has secured local < spenkers, and has made appointments < at every immediate point and In very township, and then his county ; and has made a complete canvass of his entire county, holding these meet- I ings and having the people addressed by those "Mfhusiastlcaily in sympathy with t association; then after having covered the entire county, has held a rally meeting at the coun ty < seat, in which all those townships < are invited to be present ; and in this ?' way has gotten his county weU in 1 lino. ^ Again 1 wish to suggest that it is r a good idea for the president of each < county to select some bunk at the county seat where dues and contri- j buttons may be paid at any time; | and that several members of the 1 county organization may be present. 1 1 find throughout the State that a ' great many persons are desirous of cor.trihufing ami that a great many . have not paid their dius, because . they are s!mply confused as to whom these moneys should be paid. By \ publishing in the county papers, i some individual at the county or some i hank to whom these moneys may be i paid at any time, it would greatly re- 1 licve the situation. A rrreot mnnv are imkinir mo the question whether or rot it will be ^ wise /or them to contract now their ^ :otton for fall delivery at 10 to 10 1-4 ( jents. I would not advise any one j ;o hold cotton this season until the e meeting of the executive committee 1 it Asheville on September Gth. I t vi 11 say, however, that the conditions ihroughout the country do not warrunt any doubt as to the price being j ess than the figures above mentioned, j From Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, ( reports do not indicate anything like j in average crop. Therefore, if, as the world has insisted, we shall obey the law of supply and demand, if a 14,000,000 bale crop is worth 10 1-4 cents per pound, a 0.50O.000 to 10,-'] 000,000 bale crop should be worth proportionately greater. The following is a letter from a leader in the movoment in Mississippi, a man whose character guaran- j tees confidence in whatever statement ho may make. This is about a , sample of the letters that have come | # _ _ .. A? - J re A. fit. t . rm. A irom &ne niuerent ncnie. ine csiion ; growers may read this and govern themselves accordingly until the executive committee meets in Asheville and fixes tho minimum price: I am still holding 1CH? bales of cotton which I have not sold. The crop of Mississippi is the worst spotted that I have ever seen. I have traveled over the ent:re State within the last few weeks; in some sections I find the crop .good, but in the valleys where most of the crop is made, the crop is very, very spotted; in some sections disastrous. The delta of the Mississippi last year made .">04.000 bales of cotton; this year I do not think it possible to make over IIOO.000 bales. For tho entire State. I consider 1,1 <0,0)0 bales the extreme limit. Orog conditions have improved very materially within the last three weeks generally; and in some section they have deteriorated The approximate yield I give you above, I estimate on perfect conditions from now on. I would be glad to have your idea of the crop of your Rt.nt.A fla npnrlv h? nnncihla Most of the old crop has been sold ; our farmers realizing from 9 cents for the lowest to 10 1 f cents for middling. I thought for some weeks that the bear crowd would depress the price of cotton below 10 cents, but the people of Mississippi will not sell one pound of cotton below 10 cents. 1 have been compelled to abandon ' the work of the organization ou acV > >unt of the quarantine regulation?, ind on yesterday cancelled *11 appointments. This is a great disappointment to me, as we had meetings sailed for every county in the Stat^ luring the months of August and September. The meetings we haro t>een holding recently have been vej^ argely attended and there Is great snthusiasm among our members. Mississippi will do her full duty tloDg the lines of organization and will hold cotton to any point that the sxeentive committeo may advise. I hope that the proper officials in the several counties will see to it that dues and fees are collected at once and promptly sent to this office, as both State and centrnl organizations nrr> in need of funds. Let everv county do its utmost to provide ample warehouse room at the earliest date possible. Organization and warehouses are the solution of the problem of the permanent success of the Southern Ootton association. I am trying my best to reach every county, and hope to be able to do so during the months of August and Sepmnber." DISPENSARY INJUNCTION. Petition Granted, Three More Names Added as Defendants. Ex parte, T. J. Betcnbuugh, E. 0. Howze, Joseph Sanders, Petitioners, in re, C. Barnett, Plaintiff, igainst J. G. Howell and others, defendants.

August 28.?As nothing has appeared in Tiik Timks from this section of the county for some time, 1 decided to give to your readers a few items. CroDS are from verv noorto fairlv good. Most of the fodder on early corn has been gathered, winch is very sorry. Cotton is beginning to open and the farmers will soon begin to gather it. The cool nights are very much against it, and unless very favorable seasons from now on the crops in this section will be short. Since the farmers got through laying by their crops the young and the old have been enjoying themselves in a social way such as picnics, etc. The first picnic was at Mt. Zion church, next came one at Bethlehem church and the third one was at Flat Bock church last Saturday. At all of these picnics barbecued meats was served and plenty of it and some to spare. Kvcrything passed off quietly at these gatherings. I have not heard of any man being drunk or disturbing these meetings. Let's have more of them, (live the farmers ten or twelve cents for their cotton ...... ...:n ? - i?? ?i ? tiiiu (yuu uui ntu it illm runtented people, but five or six cents cotton will bring discouragement, murmuring, grumbling, etc. We love to see the doctors, lawyers, bankers, merchants, preachers, all with smiles on their faces, but we don't see them unless the farmers are prosperous, so let all tin; people unite with the cotton association and make it a grand success, for we are all in the liont together, and I hope this boat of prosperity will continue to float as it has beau for the past two years and ti&^y the people of our dear old soutfhland prosper as never l>efore. Rev. II. K. K/ell is conducting a series of meetings at Mt. Joy church. He is l>eing assisted by Rev. J. C. Lawson, a native of I'ea Ridge, rhc services will continue through the week. Rev. A. II.
