If you are going oil for the summer, bo sure and pay your debts so your creditors may have a vacation also. President McKinley has put a stop to tho third tenn by officially declar ing that bc is against it and that he would not accept a renomination. Henry Watterson, editor of thc Louisville (.'ou riff Journal, says thc National Democracy needs a new plat ion? and a new leader, and Mr. Wat te: son is right. The following gem from an unknown author should bo pasted in every man's hat as a reminder of his duty when he derrires to speak ill of any woman. Remember this : ''Beware how you speak of a woman's character. Think how many years she has been building it, of the wounds received, of the toils and privations endured ; and let no | suspicion follow her actions. Tho j purity of woman is the salvation of the race, and hope of future greatness and the redemption of man. Wipe out her purity and man sinks beneath the wave of despair with not a star to guide his life into a channel of safety. Think, then, before you spoak, and remember that any hog can root up the fairest flower that ever grew, so the vilest can mia tho purest char acter." In another column we publish tho correspondence between Postmaster Cochran and the First Assistant Post ai as ter Goneral relating to a redaction in postoffioe box-rents-a long felt want in Anderson's postal facilities. The commendable z?al of our efficient postmaster will not be overlooked by the patrons of this office, and more especially the business mon of the city, who appreciate the valued ser vices of that official in securing tho best and most convenient railroad sohcdules the city has over enjoyed." It is to be hoped that Mr. Coohran and tho Postoffice Department may progress further along the line of urgent necessity by establishing mail boxes at convenient points about the Court Houso Square and at the depots of the city. This would in reality bo much more appreciated by the business clement than a reduotion in box-rents. The increased receipts of the ~ffiee fully justify every in creased facility and accommodation mentioned, and wo suggest that Post master Cochran take tho matter up with tho Postmaster General and pre sent the case as ably as the one which elicited suoh a favorbalo responso re garding box-rents. The great hullabaloo causod by tho remarks of Judge Benet at tho Feb ruary term of Court and tho editorial criticisms of a number of newspapers, in and out of this Stato, in reference to thc so-called "slavery" eases in this County, has terminated just ,as we predicted. There wns nothing in the charges, and there was no cause for the remarks of Judge Bonct or thc criticisms of thc newspapers. Had come of the newspaper? and people who condemned the matter known tho circumstances they would probably have withheld their severo criticism. It is true that all of thc gentlemen, except Mr. Fowler, plead guilty to one of the charges in the indictment, but this was deno simply to save expensa and the worry and trouble of a trial, and had they followed Mr. Fowler's example they, too, would no doubt have been acquitted of the charges. Judge Benet's remarks in open Court have demoralized the negro tenants and laborers throughout the County, and many of our farmers have suffered severely in a financial sccso as a re sult of his untimely romarks. Con ceding to him all sincerity of purpose, he has done incalculable harm to the very class whom ho would shield. Instead of the Moses whom bc would emulate in leading a so-called dov n trodden people out of bondage, ho has been to them a veritable Scylla and Charydis, where the tales of human woe recite tho pathos of a shipwreck ed life. The estrangement he has caused between landlord and laborer as cortainly calls for more stringent lawB relating to farm labor as that thc next General Assembly shall convene. Not that such legislation is the result of ouch estrangement, but for the rea son that such contracts as have been passing current as valid for so many years are now by an edict from the throne deolared illegal, invalid and inhumane. It does not then require any great amount of common asumen to see where tho burden of Benet's folly falls. It falls squarely upon the shoulders of the poor white man and the negro who will be under the ne cessity of becoming parties to a labor contract that will bind them more securely than over before, and provide more burdensome penalties for its violation. Judgo Benet is certainly welcome to all his laurels. Thc hon lays a single egg in a day and cackles for all it is worth, while the turtle lays 150 eggs and keeps quiet. There are a great many men who are constructed on the hen prin , ciyle in this country, and there are mighty few on tho turtle order. Thc inroads the Ainoricnn shoe manufacturers are making in the European markets is oausing general interest there. At first the steel and iron people made their entrance upon the scene, now thc thee people are showier up, and thc manufacturers of these goods in Europe are greatly alarmed. -m o -m*---? Thc former waste products of the South are rapidly coming into usc to swell thc rich resources of this sec tion. Only recently cotton seed itself was a waste product, but now it is very valuable, and thc bulla have been found an excellent material for manu facturing paper. But now comes ba gasse, the refuse of sugar cane, as another material out of which paper CSE CC SUCCcSSI unjr ixiuuu uuu a OOO paper miii is to bc erected on the Kenilworth plantation, just below New Orleans, to make paper out of bagasse Thc machinery has been or dered and the mill is to be in shape for this year's sugar crop. Thus it is that the resources of thc South are in creasing in value and number, and her career is still onward and upward. Let the good work go on.

Truly death waa a welcome visitor to her, as she told ber parents she was ready to go. She had good training at home, though deprived of the privilege of go ing to the day school or Sunday-school.
