Much cotton and little corn?therein
lies the trouble. But we know better
now.
Indications are that Mexico is again
forging to the front on the news columns.
If the people of this State were
given the opportunity to vote upon
the question of prohibition it would
carry by a handsome majority.
Union's county fair may not have
been all that one could desire;but the
having of a fair was worth no telling
what. It showed pluck and enterprise
that promise greater things in
the future.
We feel sure good times arc near at
hand; you see our paid-in subscription
list for the past two weeks published
in this issue. Thanks, kind
friends. There are many others that
we hope to hear from in the near future.
Every little helps.
The City of Charleston has declined
a legacy of $5,000, the bequest of
Amelia B. Southall of Harper's Fer
ry, W. Va., for the purpose of erecting
an ornamental fountain in that
city to the memory of John Brown.
The host thing to do with John Brown
is just to let him remain in his grave.
The Charleston city council acted with
good judgment and good taste in
turning down the bequest.
Governor Colquit of Texas, it is
stated, declines to call an extra session
of the legislature in tHnt -State
to legis'ate upon cotton acreage re J
duct ion. This year, while South Car
oiina was noiuinjj cotton, iexas wu.s
selling as fast as possible. Guess they
will plant two acres additional for
every one South Carolina reduces under
the new law to reduce in this
State. The cotton acreage reduction
law will prove of no benefit to South
Carolina except in the fact that we
will grow more grain. That will help
t remondously.

OAKLAND.
Oakland, Nov. 10.?The rain has
omowhat checked the sowing of smat
rrain and the gathering of corn gnd
otton. Some farmers are entirely
hrough picking cotton in this section,
f next year's harvest proves to be
in ordinary yield of wheat and oats,
vhy there is no reason then that the
'armors will have to grumble at th;>
ligh prices of food stuffs, for they
ertainly have been giving this line
>f farming their strictest attention.
Hore wheat, oats and clover have al eady
been sown in this section of the
ounty than has been in many years,
ind they are not near through with
his kind of work yet. I am quite
ure that this "all cotton" farming
vill teach some farmers a lesson that
vill never be forgotten. Raising
otton at six and seven cents to pay
nr Wnctorn pnrn lit XI nor hlicVinl
s in my opinion a very poor policy.
Phe farmers of Union county having
>igs for sale should advertise them
hrough the special advertising colimns
of The Times so that the ones
n need of pips will know where to
ret them. You will not have any
rouble disposing of them for they
eem to be very scarce and most ev ry
farmer wants to buy. If more
vheat and corn and hops are raised
ind less cotton we will realize next
all what plan is best to follow. Well
t is quite evident now that there will
lot be such an overwhelming crop of
otton planted in this State next year
iccording to the bill passed in Coumbia
a few days ago prohibiting
he farmers from planting but onchird
of their cultivated land in coton.
Now if the other cotton States
vill pass similar laws this idea is a
good one, but if not, I say let all fare
ilike. Some men say that such a lawis
unconstitutional and that it will not
itand, but I cannot say whether or
lot these same fellows have ever been
tccused of being very intelligent men.
can only say that I'm not thoroughly
,'ersed in law and therefore will not
irgue the case.

HUMAN SOLDER.
rh? Reason Blood From a Cut Clot#
and Plugs the Wound.
Why Is it that the boy who outs his
Inger with a jacknife making a wilow
whistle does not bleed to deatii?
is a matter of fact, he may if be is
ivhnt the medical profession call a
'bleeder," a condition of things by no
neans rare and one which every surjoon
who undertakes to do even the
most minor operation must Inform
limsolf about. The bleeder or heinoihlliac,
as the doctor calls him, is alvays
in immediate danger of Just this
kind of accident because bis blood is
acking in the clotting principle known
is fibrinogen
This principle is n gift from good
Mother Nature, or a kind Providence,
f you choose, and exists for no other
purpose than the saving of human life.
When a wound deep enough to injure
i vein or artery is made through the
?kin the blood pours out in considertide
quantity, hut in a few minutes
the current lessens and a congealing
mass begins to appear. This means
that the (ilirln is catching the blood
orpusclos and holding them fast like
tlsh caught in a net The semisolid
.dot thus formed is the solder which a
dumber fuses upon a leaking pipe.
To lie sure, this Is not a perfect
mechanism, tor if bleeding Is coming
from a fair sized artery the blood will
spurt out into space, and no clot can
form since It Is too quickly washed
iway. Here, however, by another con
?ervatlve process the blood pressure is
reduced, as a result of which the ar
Lery begins to contract owing to the
jlastlcity of its walls and to Influence
>f the nervous system, and in this win
die hemorrhage will (lnally cease.
The clot lelt in the wound soon be
gins to contract. Water (seruroi is
forced out. ami the remaining sub
dances hold the wound firmly as If in

for reconstruction of the "blood
Pipe." and In a few days new tissue,

Rude Rock Heaps by Which Indiana
Located Running Water.
In traveling over the plains of western
Texas, writes a contributor, 1 have
now and then come on two little isolated
heaps of rock that at tirst glance
seemed not ait all remarkable. After
a time, I noticed that one heap was
generally about three feet high, and
the other about a foot lower. The two
were alwavs within a few feel- nf nnnh
other, and usually on an elevation or
plateau that had u view of the country
for five miles or more.
The rocks were roughly heaped together,
as if left by children at play.
I sometimes wondered If they could
be the ruins of an ancient stone building;
but that was improbable, for there
was scurcely another stone in sight.
Years later 1 learned the actual
significance of these rock heaps from
an old Indian whose mind was stored
with all the legends and customs and
deeds of his people. According to him,
when the Great Spirit lapped up the
mighty rivers of the plains, he left
springs and water basins here and
there for the untelopc and the Indian.
These the antelope enslly found by
scent, but the Indian had to search
long and anxiously for them. Once
found, they wero seldom lost?thanks
til thoQA piiHa mnlf hnnna i
I watched the old fellow crouch down
behind the taller heap, sight over the
low one, and mark the farthest object
In a straight line, which In this
case was a clump of hushes on the
horizon. We rode toward these bushes
and found?not water, as 1 had expected,
but two other heaps of rocks.
Sighting as before, and taking a rock
faced cliff toward the southwest as a
goal, we rode two miles farther, and
there, trickling out from beneath the
cliff's rocky brow, was a spring of
fresh, clear water.
The old Indian said that whenever a
band of Indians came upon a new
spring, they built these rock henps
along their trail; since then 1 have followed
some half dozen of these rude
signposts, and found tlictn to lend
either to water, or to places that showed
traces of a former watercourse.?
