World sstysthc 1i< publican lenders had a fund 'of .tMS.OOu, 000 to elect McKinley in lS'JIJ, liitl have started this year to raise n fund i?l $30,000,000. I*.very live years a billion ?lolhirn goes ?nu of the I * 11it? ? 1 Stall - Ut pay foreign carrying. Thai may continue indefinitely it' the Uepublicans succeed ;tt the next elect ion. ??. ? Dur advice to ev< ry voter in Ander son County is to vote according to his lionest convictions, leinciuhering that he alone i> responsible Ut ( cm! for the use I:,- makes of his ballot. The ollii ial reports of the census are awaited with much interest and arc the -abject of much speculation. Ksti iuates of the population of the country vary widely, extending from #fi,O0O,lHMi to 7!),O(H>,u0fi. I u the Seventy-seventh Pennsylvania district the Democrats have endorsed a Republican candidate for Congress and the Republicans are supporting the Democratic candidate. Nobody seems very particular how he votes in that district. A convention of the farmers of South Carolina has been called to meet at Columbia on September Otli for the purpose of organizing a Cotton t?row era Protective Association. Some good can be accomplished hy such an Organi zation, and Anderson County should be represented at the convention. The organization is being pushed in (ieor gin and other Southern Stales, and South Carolina should fall into line. A town is like a large family. \Vc are interested in each other's welfare? or should be. A cut-throat every-mun lor-himself policy means ruin for any community. It means retrogression and failure. Tho tirst lesson nny fami ly must learn, to be successful and happy, is unity and mutual assistance. The same applies to the business life of a town, and the more, generally it is obeyed the more abundant will he the city's prosperity. _-ua - -<j? Much has been said about the ilitliculty of arriving at a method through which the giant trusts of the country can be effectively reached and punished. Kan sas City has shown up a novel and effective way of halting the trust rob ber. The large coal dealers of that city formed a combination and fixed the price of coal. An outside dealer brought suit for damages and the court found in his favor and allowed him attorney's fees. Tho case was tried in the United States Circuit Court at Kansas City, and will now go to the Supreme Court of the United States. The decision of the latter Court will be awaited with interest. In the rush of modern business and social life there arc indications that real courtesy is falling into innocuous desuetude. Either the world is be coming selfish and inconsiderate, or the seilish and inconsiderate people are putting themselves forward most ex traordinarily. Lack of good breeding, a total disregard of the comfort of others, is everywhere apparent. Po litenesses to be cultivated only "when it pays." "Is it worth while.'" seems to bo n question that nearly every man and woman asks himself or herself when there is an opportunity to do a kindly or a courteous act for a stran ger. The exceptions nro so rar?' as to attract attention and occasionally cause comment. Every womau must look out for herself; so also must old age. Youth has no hesitation in jost ling cither into tho street if either hap pens to be in his way. - ? ? CW - Writing from his peaceful retreat at Princeton, former President Cleveland reviews the advantages of a college education in the struggle of life and refutes the arguments of the self-made man who accepts his own success ns proof that such education is needless. While perseverance, industry and thrift that carried such a man through are indispensable, Mr. Cleveland con tends that the world hns moved and conditions have changed, and these qualities must now bo supplemented with tho best attainable education. In line with President Low, of Columbia, and the new President of Yale, the former President of the United States takes occasion incidentally to warn the student against tho danger of losing sympathetic touch with the great out side world for a noble lifo in which his college training would equip hiiu. Mr. Cleveland contends that training of the mental powers paves the way to success in every occupation, "and that, therefore, a college education will pay.'* ? ? - ? Nearly every week wo read in some of our exchanges an account of the escape of some trusty convict from the chuin gang or from some other place where convicts arc employed, and we Lhiuk iL is about time for .state and County authorities to close up the trusty business. A convict is a convict and all convicts should be subjected to the same restraints. If it is necessary or convenient to detail convicts for special duty, such dntics as are usually performed by tho trusty, n gunrd should be on hand to prevent any infraction of rules governing convicts. This practice, giving prisoners almost unlimited liberty to go about without guards, is in direct opposition to nil / prison rules and will always result in trouble. It makes no difference how ONE YEAR, *1 50 obedient the convict may be, so long as he is ;i COIlvict, he UlllSt be under the eye <>1' a guard. IU' sutlers no hard ship from tins watchfulness. On the contrary, lie becomes more resigned to the penalty which lie is paying for vio lation of law, and learns to respect the law which gives equality and justice to all. Prisoners who do not enjoy the liberties given the trusty an- naturally restless and hardened by Hccing fellow prisoners selected for easier and lighter duties ami enjoying a measure of lib erty ol which they aie deprived.

Iloyt is not "hide bound'' and if elected (which he will bei his tolerant spirit will insure a broad and liberal administration. We in Anderson should feel proud of our pi ivclige to support a man who has spent bis best years iu our town, work ing with all his best energies for the good of the town iu a spirit of loyalty and faithfulness equalled by very few and surpassed by none. Col. Iloyt* is is known by his old comrades as a brave soldier, an ideal oHiccr am) a most generous man. fraternally all who know him love, honor and respect him, and what more could be said of any man.' His services in are not forgotten by men who are proud of a high type of citizenship, patriotism and devotion to duty, and on election day my forcast will come to nass. that prohibition, honesty, fear lessness and manhood is destined to win again in South Carolina.

It was the day for the reunion of the survivors of Orr's Regiment. In fact the reunion proper began on Tuesday night when the old veterans of this and other commands gathered at the fair grounds and went into camp. Many old battles were fought over again and many n merry joke nnd interesting experience told. Yesterday morning early the crowds of people began coming early until 1,500 or 2,000 of all ages and both fair and otherwise were assembled to show their regard for the old soldiers.

Hiott to lead in prayer and an earnest, fer vent, tender prayer it was. l'resident Ilemphill addressed his command ac some length on old memories and as sociations. 11 is references both to the past nnd the rapidly approaching fu ture, in tender words, brought tears to many eyes as well as his own. (Jen. C. I. Walker was next intro duced nnd held the undivided atten tion of his large audienco for some time giving an earnest, plain, practical address. The main feature was refer ences to the unfair histories now in uso and pleading for justice to the South. Gen. Ilemphill was re-elected presi dent nnd John W. Thompson secretarv and treasurer. The association will hold its next reunion at Sandy Springs iu Anderson County, the place where the regiment was organized aud had its lirst camp of instruction.

The McCormick Mower tm the only roiling tilt. The McCormick has a direct draft fiyra the team to ? cutter-bar, and the axle turns on the frame on the celebrated McCorini roller bearings. THE McCO&MICK HAY RAKE is tho finest rnke ever rm>. rakes clean, does not roll tho hay, and .is everything that a man can ?k | in a hay rake. Your 10-year-old boy can operate the MtCormick Bake, is the strongest built, nicest built, rake on the market.. The wheels are g and strong, and will stand all the hard knocks. You can set the McCorfl? Rake so that on land where thore is old stubble or trash it will leave stubble and rake the hay. S?LUVAN HARDWARE CO. i for the McCnrniicW-i
