There should be much grain
sown in this county in the next
thirty days. Farmers can better
afford to strain their credit for
grain seed now than for almost
anything else. By making a good
crop of grain they can thus cut
down the amount that will have
to be paid for corn another year,
and perhaps they may also be
able to get for themselves some
ready cash, for the prospects are
that grain will be in good demand
next summer.
A few days ago the county
supervisors of several of the
eastern counties met and con
sidered various plans for the im

gatherings as these should do

President Roosevelt's Message.
(Continued from page one.)
might be nothing lacking to com
plete the Judas-like infamy of his
act, lie took advantige of an oc
casijn when the president was
meeting the people generally; and'
advancing as if to take the band
outstretched to him in kindly and
brotherly fellowship, he turned
the noble and generous confidenco
of the victim into an opportunity
to strike the fatal blow. There
is no baser deed in all the annals
of crime.
THE EVILS OF ANARCHY.
The shock, the grief of the
country, are bitter in the minds
of all who saw the dark days,
while the president yet hovered
between life and death. At last
the light was stilled in the kindly
eyes and the breath went from the
lips that even in mortal agony
uttered no words save of forgive
&ess to his.murderer, of love for
's friends, and of unfalter'ng
tin t.hi will oi the Most Hi hi.
cf i e, US wi in
finite sorrow, but with such pride
in what he had accomplished and
in his own personal character,
that we feel the blow -not .as
struck at him, but as struck, at
the nation. We mourn a good
and great president who is dead;
but while we mourn we are lifted
up by the splendid achievements
of his life and the grand heroism
with which he met his death.
When we turn from the man to
the nation, the harm done is so
great as to excite our gravest ap
prehensions and to demand our
wisest and most resolute action.
This criminal was a professed
anarchist, inflamed by the teach
ings of professed anarchists, and
probably also by the reckless
utterances of those who, on the
stump and in the public press,
appeal to the dark and evil
spirits of malice and greed, envy
and sullen hatred. The wind is
sowed by the men who preach
such doctrines, and they cannot
escape their share of responsi
bility for the whirlwind that is
reaped. This applies alike to the
deliberate demagogue, and to the
explloiter of sensationalism, and
to the crude and foolish vrisonary
who, for whatever reason, apolo
gizes for crime or excites aimless
discontent.
The blow was aimed not at this
preident, abut at all presidents;.
at evtr ry mbol of government.

anld pracit ice of the people of the
town. On no0 conceivable theory
could the murd. r of the presi
dent be accepted as due to pro
test against "inequalities in the
social order," save as~ the murder
of all the freeman e- gaged in a
town mer ting could be accepted
as a protest against that social
inequality which puts a male
factor in jail. Anarchy is no more
an expression of "social discon
tent" than picking pockets or
wife-beating.
The anarchibt, and especially
the anarchist in the United States,
is merely one type of criminal,*
more dangerous than any other
because he represents the same
rhe man who advocates anareby in
irectly or indirectly, in any shape in
)r fashion, or the man who apol- c(
:)gizes for anarchists and their S<
leeds, makes himself morally ac- I
eessory to murder before the fact. g.
The anarchist is a criminal whose
perverted instincts lead him to li
pre er confusion and ch to the
most beneficent form of sial h
o.der. His protest of concern
for workingmen is outrageous in b
its impudent falsity; for if the
political institutions of this coun- I
try do not afford opportunity to f1
every honest and intelligent son of 0:
toil, then the door of hope is for- d
ever closed against him. The w
anarchist is everywhere notmerely s,
the enemy of system and of pro- o
gress, but the deadly foe of 1
liberty. If ever anarchy is tri- ti
umphant, its triumph will last for o
but red moment, to be succeeded f
for ages by the gloomy night of a
despotism. a
For the anarchist himself, p
whether he preaches or practices i
his doctrines, we need not liav t]
one particle more concern than w
for any ordinary murderer. He ,
is not the victim of social or po- N
litical injustice. There are no a
wrongs to remedy in his case.
The cause of his criminality is to t
be found in his own evil passions
and in the evil conduct of those I
who urge h:im on, not in any fail- e
ure by others or by the State to e,
do justice to him or his. He is a
malefactor and nothing else. He
is in no sense, in no shape or j
way, a "product of social condi- a
tions," save as a highwayman is
"produced" by the fact that an!
unarmed man happens to have a
purse. It is a travesty upon the
great and holy name of libei t
and freedom to permit them to ' e
invoked in such a cause. No man
or body of men preachin an
archistic doctrines should be al
lowed at large any more ihan if
preaching the murder of some C
specified private individual. * An
archistic speeches, writings and
meetings are essentially seditious
and treasonable.
A STRUGGLE FOR AN EDUCATION. s
The Story of Rev. E. P. Taylor's Col
loge Course as Told by filmself.
Twentieth Century Sketches is C
a book that has just come from 8
the press. It is edited by Rev.
Watson B. Duncan, and contains
sketches of all the preachers of
the South Carolina Conference.
ThEre is-, Mr in sting, t
than that of Rev. E. P. Traylor',
who the past year has served the ,
Winnsboro charge. As the author
says: "The career of the Rlev. t
E. P. Taylor ought to be known
to every. boy who hungers for an
education and yet supposes theI
way is closed aga'nst him. After -
reading the story every one, is
compelled to realize that 'where i
there is a will there is a way," y
and true boys and men must feel f
like standing uncovered in the,
presence of a hero-a hero of t
peace." The author also adds:
"His parents were pious people, I
who were rich only in faith. 'Ibey
lived on a farm which bare!?
afforded a support, and they anda
their childrenm tilled the soil ." e
Here is the story as given by Mr.
Taylor himself, written at the y
request of Mr. Duncan:
"I entered the preparatory de
partment of Wotford College inu
Januamy, 18'79, and remained in y
this department until June, 1880. 'e
I first entered the Freshman class
in October, 1880, and because ofc
limited means, thinking possibly
this woukl be my only year in 4
college, I pursued a special course f
of studies. However, a wav was
opened for me to return iu'Octo- O
ber, 1881, but the same kind
Providence that opened the door
for my return soon clos.ed ther
same, for before the close of ne e
month of October I was called:a
home on account of the death of' a
my mother and the illnes~s of rr -
father. But again in Octo'ber, I
1882, I began college life. Now, i
not only poor, but married, yet!a
not hampered or hindered, for the
economy and needle of the wife I
added much to our scanty larder.
So the work taken up in October,
1882, was continued until Jn, ai
1888, when I receivedl mnydiplomia. g
"My stay at college was5 alwayse
delightful, because of my intense a
desire to learn, but I hadl to prac- a
tice the strictest economty as my .
father was poor and had a large
family to support. It iuas while!f
I was in the preparatory depart- w
ment that my father wrote mec
that he could aid me no moure and
for mue to come home. I wrote n
father asking him would lbe be n
willing for me to remain and pur- si
sue my studies if I could make
a angements myself to do so. a<

uLe it to say, th it I was never
0oubled with indgestion or night
ares. And my college course
as pursued under 1o less pres
re than was my preparatory
laeation. I eutered college, 1882,
-ith a wife an1 on'v ten dollars
i my purse. My brother-in-law,
ams iIunt, hairded my wife
ud myself for the first year. I

Lde sufileient to~ p) up 1l) back
idebtedness for board and to
:iv mly expenses. Another year
t coliege a simu hr course was
>llowed af ter Iy sophomore year.
My greatest ptessure was dur
ig ny -elior year. When I com
leteti IV junior Ve:i, I deter
iined not to go out into the
ounty and teach for another
ear, thus taking two years to
omplete my course at college.
l I entered the senior clas<, al
lost pelliless, but with a strong
ternlllation to renain at my
t dies unotil I silldlh finish. I
et myself to work, I prayed
uch, I endeavored to exercise a
trong faith in G(od that he would
pen the door for my entrance
oon as an itinerant Methodist
inister-but not until I had
oinpleted my studies at Wofford.
;o to my gvett deligit I found
hat it would be possib!e for me
o continue my studies another
-ear.'
I miade my way bly chlopp)ing
