Col. J. B. Killebrew argues southern wool farming can raise wealth and reduce labor, complementing cotton. He cites vast grazing areas from the Alleghenies to Texas, noting wool and cotton together sustain global textile industries and urging gradual flock expansion without forsaking cotton.

Flor ence and Newberry Union counties ask guidance on how to run a dispensary vote under the general election law. Attorney general Gunter argues the 1904 act compels conducting the vote as a special election under existing constitutional authority, detailing duties, funding, and procedure for county election boards and managers.

Summer Drownings and Simple Bathing Rules
Drowning in summer often stems from ignorance or disregard of basic safety rules. Cardinal guidelines urge not to bathe overheated or soon after eating, allow at least two hours after meals for safety, or a minimum half hour, and to enter water boldly rather than timidly. If unable to dive, start wading to knee depth before fully wetting and plunging in.
