He claims, that at this time that the holders of j 8pot cotton this year occupy a posi- { tion from which they entitled to name the price, for the supply is 1,250,000 bales less than the demand. If the 1 agencies have the 2,500,000 bales under contract, which is claimed, they. are in a position easily to obtain thirty cents a pound for thair cotton. This, above all years, is tha time when holders of cotton in the south should sell only as the mills require it for consumption. Mr. Smith says that he is of the opinion that cotton will sell for twenty-five cents as soon as southern pres' ure to sell ceases, and some of them believed thirty-cent cotton probable before the first of January. The sad feature of this statement, however, is that so much of the cotton crop is not now in the hands of the cotton farmer. Necessity has forced the sale of a great bulk of the cotton crop, but to those who still hold their coton and to those who have pooled their cotton in the cotton holding associations the suggested advance in the staple will be a great Doon. WHY THE POOR MAN PAYS MORE One of the pearls of village wisdom .that made an impression upon me in my early days was this?"There is nothing, quite so expensive as being hard up." It's a fact that the man with a slim or negative bank balance not only buyB what he buys in the most expensive way, but that his time is continually wasted and his thoughts diverted by arguments with people who want money. A comfortable bank balance gives a man command of his own time, helps him to buy economically, and in general, does for his business what a fly-wheel does for an engine or a stand-Dine for a system^?Exchange. DESTROY THE WEEVIL'S WINTER RESORTS _________ Clemson College, Nov.4.?"The earlier cotton stalks and other hibernating places are destroyed," says Prof. A.F.Conradi, entomologist, in discussing the boll weevil control, "the fewer weevils will survive the the winter. In infested fields it is common to find weevils at the rate of 5,000 to 26,000 per acre at the time of first frost. It is a well known fact," Prof. Condradi explains, "that the weevils developing late in the falf are the ones most likely to survive the winter ua thu.r -a* ? * MW V..VJ atv ilUb wuill UUl by long flights and rearing the young, as are the older weevils. For this reason development of the weevils in late fall must be prevented as the' first step in making the next crop. An interesting point in this connection is the fact that experiments in Louisana showed that when cotton stalks were detroyed before October 15, only 3 per cent of the weevils survived the winter, whereas destruction of stalks on October 27 allowed 15 per cent to survive; Nov. 25, 22 per cent; Dec. 27, 29 per cent; between Dec. 15 and Jan. 15, 43 percent. It is clear, therefore that the earlier the stalks are destroyed the more effective the results will be but that where early destruction is impossible it is better late than never. The planting of a winter cover crop in the present cotton fields is also urged as a piost important means of j weevil destruction Bince weevils can j not live through the winter in a growing cover crop such as rye oats and vetch or clover for the reason that in order to survive the winter the weevil must "dry out" to the extent of losing one-third of his body moisture and this he can not do in a field where a cover is growing. Cotton stalks not plowed under to a cover crop should be cut to pieces and thrown to the ground as early as possible by a stalk cutter so that they may be covered by the growing cover crop and thus absorb moisture which means death to the weevil. Still another step which should be taken now is the cleaning up of ditch banks, fence rows and other places where rubbish and trash accumulate in and around the fields. f What is a rural community? A region of common interest in which people can be brought together into community org wi'/p.t'ons to work out their own problems. A farmer dub who buys a scrub FISH TOPPLES OUT OF TREE. RABBIT FOUND SWIMMING Fish that topple out of tree tope end rabbits that are fished out of deep water holes, these are two of the phenomena of Cornaca Creek as witnessed yesterday afternoon by Alderman J. W. Spearman of Ward Five, Secretary W. A. Freday, of the Chamber of Commerce, and Clyde Keller, local garage owner. The condition of the three who saw the strange sight was perfectly normal with all the sobriety that bebooves officals of the city. And what they saw is not hoax but cold facts, so Alderman Spearman swears and calls upon his compeers ??> eoroborate. The threo son of Niinrod went a-hunting yesterday afternoon and wandered into the wilds of Cornaca Creek. Aiv.tu'ng w>is their quarry but they had specific designs upon rabbits. When Alderman Spearman saw a bunny disporting himself in a pool of water, and practicing the latest bunny strokes in swimming , he was surprised at the sport of his game but not too surprised to take deadly aim and bring to an end the career of the sportive rabbit. The swimmig propensities of the rabbit caused a bit of comment but when the douirhtv nlHormnn fivoil through a squirrel nest in the top oi a tall oak and a catfish, almost elbow length fell out, his mouth flew open and he said something t.bat might havfc been "I swan," but it wasn't. Since that time, the hunters three have been puzzled. The fish was dead when it hit the ground but it was only recently dead. Whether the fish hud been cartied there by a hawk or possum is beyond the ken of the trio. Perhaps the catfish of Cornaca Creek have been so bedevilled by fisherman that they are developing into climbers and are seeking refuge in the trees, is the aldermanic theory. It is very queer, to hunt among the wilds of Cornaca, the three are certain.?Index-Journal (Greenwood). YE FARM GOSSIPE Farmers who cooperate don't wait for their ship to come in; they row out to meet it. Sellinir hoc? and hlivinir r?orlr mou be profitable, but not for the farmer who sells the hogs. A sermon in eight words: Our cowa ded; thc-i oar children died Nearly one-third of the people gainfully employed in agriculture produce only one-third of the national income. What'B the answer? A tip on burning cotton stalks. An acre of cotton stalks is worth $10.00or |12.00 for humus and fertilizer. If one farmer in a community wants to raise sheep and his neighbors wa:u tc raise dogs, how ir?oj sheep will be raised? Another good effect of boll weevil damage: The farmer who has tc cheat the weevil to mnWo cAttnn wit take better care of it und market it to better advantage.

(J reeks und Cleero to the Roimn-s, Red Jacket was to the "People >f the Long House," (the Iroquois Inllans). He was u member of the liu jortant Wolf clan, of the Seneca tribe, uid his Indian name of Slra-gMenrutliu, "lie Who Causes Them to Keep Awake," referred to the most narked characteristic of his clan inlmal instead of the chiefs oratorical powers. During" the ltevolutlon, lted jacket tried to hold his people neutral, but )elng overruled by his tribe, he enisled under the British flag. His Intelligence soon brought him to the notice of the English officers and one of them gave him a scarlet Jacket. lted Jncket was not a tighter. He was at his best in the council. "I am nn orator; 1 was born an orator," was Ids boastful declurutlon. He was a ready and effective speaker; he had a tenacious memtfry, a quick wit, and a gift of biting sarcasm. He was especially hostile to the missionaries Who came upon the Seneca reservation. "If they are not useful to the white people, why do they send them to the Indians?" he said. "If they ure useful to the whites, whv don't thev keep these black guwns at home? Surely the white men are had enough to need the labor of everyone who can make them better." In 1HH1 a Seneca wus placed on trial for having executed an old woman as a witch. Red Jucket spoke In his defense. "What? Do you denounce us as fools, because we still believe what you believed two centuries ago?" thundered the old chief. "Go to Salem! Look at the records of your own government and you will find that hundreds have been executed for the very crime which has brought down vengeance upon the warrior." One day Red Jacket met a crowd of people on their way to witness a hanging. When usked why he, too, did not attend the execution, the chief replied "There are enough fools there now. The field of battle Is the place to see men die." Red Jacket constantly warned his people against the white man's ways. He had abundant reason, for one of the white man's customs brought about his downfall. In his later years ho hooniuo a drunkard and descended to such depths that in 1827 his people deprived hlni of the chletshlp. Eventually the commissioner of Indian affairs restored him to his position, but he did not long survive the humiliating experience. He died January 20, 1830, and Is burled in BufTalo, N. Y. STORIES OF QREAT INDIANS By Elmo Scott Watton Copyright, 19211, Weuti-rn Newspaper I,ntun LITTLE TURTLE VS. HARMAR AND ST. CLAIR ONCE u|>ou u time George Washington Hew into u towering rage. News of the defeut of Gen. Arthur St. Clair had Just been brought to him.I Striding up and down in his office, Washington stormed to his secretary: "My lust words to lilin were, 'Beware of u surprise!' And now lie has allowed thui iine army to be cut to pieces and his soldiers butchered!" Hud his excellency told the unfortunate general that he was being sent uguinst the craftiest and most energetic Indian leader In the country, Little Turtle (Mlchikinlqua), chief of the Mlumts, the result might have been different. At the close of the Revolution, all efforts to pacify the tribes In Ohio and Indiana having failed, the government sent an army of 1,500 men under Oen. Josinh liarmar against the confederation of Mlumls, Wyandottea, Pottawato nues, mm was, snawnees, L*e!awsre? and Chlppewas led by Little Turtle. The next year Washington gent St. Clair. Little Turtle launched a furious attack upon the general's camp early one morning and forced hhn to retreat. The retreat became u rout. For four miles the screeching savages raged ut the heels of the stampeded army. Then Little Turtle stopped the pursuit. "We huve killed enough of ttie white men. Let us now divide the spoils," he said. Next to Braddock's defeat, Kt. Clair's was the worst In the history of our Indian wars. He lost t>30 killed, 'J80 wounded and all ot his supplies. Then "Mad Anthony" Wayne took me neui and oirered tne Indians elthei peace or war. LlttJe Turtle counselled peace. "We have beaten the enemy twice, but we cannot expect the same good fortune to attend us ulvvays," be told lils warriors. "The Americans are now led by 'Rlack Snake,' the chief who never sleeps. Something whispers to me that It would be well to listen to Ills offers of peace." One of the chiefs accused Little Turtle of cowardice. Stung by the undeserved charge, the Miami chieftain consented to attack Wayne. Hlo fears were Justified for "Rlack Snake" defeated them so badly at the Rattle of Fallen Timbers In 171)4 that the next year they sued for peace. When Little Turtle signed the Treaty of Greenville, be said, "I am the last to sign It and I will be the last to break It." He kept hla word. After that he led his neonle In the wave of neara and worked for their betterment. Little Furtle .11.. I Jnly 14. 1812.

Where does it come from? This .question is often heard these days when here and there aiid yon a friend or relative is heard of as having come under its grip. The slang term for the fever is "broken bone" fever. The woiyi "Dengue" means "dan- . dy" and was first applied in its native countries from the "dandy" or stiff and erect posture of those afflicted. The disease is an old one. Oddly enough it originated, it is believed, in the same country as Spanish in- v fluenza. Dengue fever was observed in Spain as early as 1764 or '66. IN 1780 to '81 it was epidemic in Spain, India and the United States, according to medical journals. In 1828 it was epidemic in Charleston, S. C., and the West Indies, and in 1850 the same prevailed in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas, all southern States. Medical men declare that it is necessarily a tropical fever, as is indicated by the southern climates it is most frequent i"V In 1870, it is reported, another epidemic spread oven India, and Er.s . Africa and Java, reaching the Gu1' I L'iaioa A muriftn in fVia lota nnrf tntfi I i of 1873. Over 40,000 cases Were re ported in the city of New Orleans ii. that year. Symptoms of the disease are chills, general aching of the bones and swelling of the joints with severe corporal pains. It is accompanied by a rose rash and prostration. It is rarely fatal and of short duration.
