We again urge our farmers to hold their cotton, and to sow a large acreage in wheat, oats, etc., this fall. The handsome and talented bachelor editor of the Augusta Chronicle evi dently ?peaks from experience when he says: "The kissing bug had a rather brief career. They usually do when found ont." At a negro conference in Chicago McKinley -was accused of - being unfair -to thk negro in, army appointments. Th? pPBsident'should organize a few negro R?giments in the South and send them to the Philjgpine^lBlands. Hon. Thomas B. Reid, of Maine, who has become famous as the "Czar' Speaker of the National House of Rep resentatives, has tendered his resigna - tion as st member of Congress, and will locate in New York to practice law. His reputation will soon make him a millionaire in the great metropolis. The ? 31st Annual State Fair will be held in Columbia Nov. 6th to 10th. The energetic Secretary, Col. Thos. W. Holloway, Pomaria, S. C., has issued the premium list and will sendjj^?jj^1 to anyone who may desire it. The number and value of the premiums of fered this year surpass those of pre vious years, as the success of the Fair ??1899 promises to surpass all previous records. ' We have interviewed a number of leading farmers from various sections of the County, and nearly all of them say that, there will not be more than one-half of an average crop of cotton made in. Anderson County. Several of them say that the farmers in this sec tion are in abetter condition than ever before to hold their cotton awhile, and urged us to advise them to do so. If the crop docs not. exceed 10,000,000 bales- we believe the farmers can get 7 or 8 cents per pound for it within sixty days._ With all the talk about labor-saving machinery having stifled the indi vidual, lhere ne ver was a time when t he individ ual counted for so much, nor when so wide- a field was open to him, nor when the rewards were so abundant for that thing which he alone can do best. And there never has been a time, either, that was so absolutely merciless to un trained mediocrity, observes Puck. The mam who v iii take oh? his coat and go to work will come to the top. And the man who is afraid to take his coat off, because it is not genteel, will go to the bottom. Georgia's senior Senator, Bacon, thinks, that the outlook for the success of the Democratic party next year is excellent As he sees the political situation the party will be united and harmonious. The opposition of Tam many to Bryan and the Chicago plat form has practically disappeared, and all that the national convention will have to do is to nominate Mr. Bryan and re-affirm the Chicago platform. Senator Bacon says that it will of course add some planks to it-planks expressing Democratic opposition to trusts and imperialism. If the g. o. p. managers want a "war hero" to act as McKinley's running mate why .do they not fix on Sampson ? Sampson killed a mule at Matanzas. Or, there is Shaffer, for instance. Shaiter vindicated the hammock as a weapon of war at Santiago. Or, there is Eagan, for another instance. Eagan demonstrated that his mouth was mightier than his sword. Or, as a third ?nstanos, there is Capt. Oberlin M. Car ter. Carter could give considerable as sistance in the work of financing a campaign, having stolen $1,600,000 from the government and at present enjoying the protection of the admin istration._ Governor McSweeney is receiving the plaudits of many good citizens from every section of the State for the way he is administering the duties of the office of the Chief Executive of the State. He is not only more careful in granting pardons than some of his pre decessors, but he seems disposed to check tho pernicious practice of offer ing rewards for thc capture of crimi nals as soon as a crime is committed. This has grown to bea great abuse. Sheriffs and constables in some Coun ties frequently seem to defer activity until the Governor offers areward. They locate their man, get the reward offered and thus get a special fee for a service which it is their duty to perform. Keep up this line, Governor, and when you will have retired from office, which we hope will not be until two years after the expiration ot* your present term, you will receive the plaudit, "well done, thou good and faithful servant," from every trac citizen. ; A serious race riot was threatened at Darien, Ga., last week. The Governor was forced to order out some of the State troops to preserve the peace. A negro had committed an outrage, and a Deputy Sheriff attempted to arrest the negro, who shot and instantly kill ed the Deputy. About 1,000 armed negroes gathered in a mob to prevent the murderer from being arrested and threatened to kill and burn the homes of the white people. When the State troops arrived they soon secured the prisoner and arrested about thirty of the ring: leaders of the mob. A special term of the criminal Court will con vene to-day to try the prisoners. This action in convening the Court *o promptly to try the offenders will tend to stop lynching, and we would like to see similar action in every County where an outrage is attempted or per petrated. The Legislatures of the va rious States should enact some law that would give the prisoners atrial immediately after the commission of such crimes as rape, riots, etc. The Summer Exodus. MR. EDITOR: There have been more Andersonians in the mountains this Summer than has been the case in sev eral years; nor have all yet returned. What a pity many others could not go -others wno really need the change far more than some who went. The method of one's going depends on many things, but the pivot of the trip is money-more or less-generally more. For a trip to see the mountains, perhaps Mr. Will Osborne's plan was most successful. He went in a strong, light hack from place to place, radia ting from such centres that were sur rounded by points of interest, remain ing at no place longer than necessary to reach the principal points. Some go to build up their strength, and incidentally they may take on some flesh. They want a quiet place, with -| enough ripple to remove ennui. Of such places Highlands is the ideal lo cality-high, well located to get breezes from the four quarters, with excellent water, air with a large percentage of ozone in it, moderately accessible, and as yet not unreasonably elevated in its hotel charges. The upward tendency in such direction has been checked by the opening up of many well-appointed resorts in the coves and valleys and plateaus in the neighborhood. But when the glamour of costly style and luxurious novelty shall have dimmed, and the people learn that the air of Highlands is incomparable, and the fare obtainable there cannot be surpassed even by these more fashion able resorts, there will be a return of the patronage which has been some what deflected this Summer from the old paths. M/'Y??^le some of the hotels have had an-embarrassingly small number of boarders, Mr. Norton's house has been almost full almost all the time. The careful watch over the details of the cuisine by Mrs. Norton contributes equally with low prices of board to make this house popular. There are some persons whose means forbid even Highlands. For them there are scattered farmhouses, where experience with boarders enables the good housewife to make one very com fortable, and the cost of living is much less; tho' you will find there a tempting array of very fine vegetable, mutton, fish-oh, such fish?-milk and honey. I found such a place, and spent several days at Mr. Alf. Whitmire's, on the road from Walhalla to Highlands. I have marked that place for future ref erence and use. The coves and valleys are not attrac tive to many on account of the variety of stinging insects to be encountered there, It must spoil one to get ac acquainted with mountain enjoyment at the head centre of pure, cool air and water, as is to be found at Highlands. There are very many clever, a'ceommo dating men to be met with all over our fair land. On my recent trip I was im pressed with the consideration shown, the desire to aid, the patience in ex plaining. For instance, where can you tinda superior to Mr. Gignilliatt, of Seneca, who divides honors with Capt. Billy Smith, in watching out for the safety and in promoting tho pleasure of others? Mr. Potts, the owner of the hackline between Walhalla and High lands, is as accommodating as an edi tor. Mr. Whitmire did not seem happy unless he was cutting a watermelon for his guests, or bringing in grapes or ap ples. The persons met all through that section impressed one with the very good feeling manifested to all those seeking rest and health among their everlasting hills, and a ready willing ness to serve them to the extent of their need. But I have scribbled long enough and said too little, and said that dryly. J. N: H. S. Card of Thanks. MR. EDITOR: We desire to return our sincere thanks to the many friends and neighbors who so kindly ministered to our devoted mother during her long ill ness. May God reward each and every one of them. We certainly will never forget them. H. Pi MCDANIEL, BROTH KKS AND SISTERS. Singing Convention.

Neal Will he Placed Under Arrest. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Col. W. A. Neal, ex-superin tendent of thc penitentiary. It was not made public until yesterday, but the papers were drawn up on thc 22d. The warrant was issued at thc in stance of Col. T. J. Cunningham, chair man of the board of directors, and the specific charge is that Col. Neal failed to turn over thc money of the peniten tiary to his successor, Capt. D. J. Griffith, within 30 days after the latter had qualified and had taken charge of the office. The warrant was issued by Magis trate Smith, and will be served tomor row by his constable. Magistrate Smith declined to taUc about the mat ter, but it was learned from other sources that thc warrant was designed to be served to-morrow, and was is sued several days in advance simply for convenience, as Col. Cunningham was in the city that day. The charge under which Col. Neal is to be arrested is based upon section dOi of the criminal statutes. The mini mum penalty is $1,000 linc and three months' imprisonment.- '/'///' State, '27th ?nat. Pendleton Items.

The beautiful rains have paid us a nice and very much needed visit since we wrote last week. And the plants, as well as the other creatures, seem to be clapping their hands and dancing in perfect delight.

E Pilgrim, G. W. Darby and Miss Minnie Cothern. Mr. Augustus McPhail and Robt. Burns went on a pleasure trip to Bow enville, Ga., last Saturday. They re port a ?ne time. There are getting to be a good many "stills1' in this community just now. Some of our people say the revenue men ought to make them a visit just now, as they could give them plenty of something good to "sop." Mr. R. M. Burns visited relatives in the Prospect and Roberts communities last week. Master George Burns, of McLures, is visiting his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Burns. Mr. and Mrs. John Richey, of Seneca, spent two or three days last week vis iting relatives and friends in this com munity. Mr. Earnest Arnold, of near Central, visited Mr. J. E. Pilgrim last Sunday.

Did yon ever see a grain of corn thrown to a dozen chickens and see the rough and tumble scramble that took place? and then did you notice one just a little more nimble than the rest swallowed that grain of corn ? In the picture be fore you that nimble fellow is the indom itable C. S. Minor. Did you ever see a lively-looking pig with an ear of corn held tightly between the teeth, plunging rapidly down the lane, and all the common herd tumbling after, squealing for that ear of corn? In the picture before you C. S. Minor is that leading pig. Notice he doesn't stop to eat nor look back at competition, but pushes right on. Did you ever witness a horse race and see the one well-rounded, muscular ani mal, with a little more spirit than his fellows, crosses the tape full ten paces in the lead, while the others cross in a dock, possibly neck for neck, and should er for shoulder. In the picture before you C. S, Minor is that leading horse, and the Ten Cent Store is the winner. With merchants the 31st day of Au gust is the last day of the business year. The last spurt is on, and C. 8. Minor and the Great and Good Ten Cent Store is first to sniff the goal.
