It is DOW intimated that there is going to be trouble in raising a Roose velt campaign fund for 1904, because of bis inclination to shackle the trusts. With the men of millions politics is simply a matter of business. At last the Exposition at Charles ton seems to be appreciated and is being patronized somewhat like it deserves. Thc attendance has been quite gratifying for the past few weeks, the visitors coming from many States in the union. _ An Alabama Congressman proposes to take Representative Crumpacker and several other Republican Con gressmen who have never been in the South, down to his State on an educa tional tour, where they can study the "ward of the nation" at short ranire. Thc movemuut on foot to erect a .handsome monument to Gen. Hamp ton should receive the hearty support of every liberty-loving, patriotic citi zen of South Carolina. Anderson County, we know, can be counted on to contribute generously toward the monument. All old soldiers who received an artificial limb under the Act of the Legislature of 1879, and Act of 1881, or the amendments thereof, or who received the sum of $25, in lieu of an artificial limb under the Acts above mentioned, are entitled to the sum of $25, for the repair of an artificial limb, under the new act passed at the recent session of the Legislature, pro vided they apply before May 26. A certificate as provided by the Act must first be filed by the applicant. The Democrats were never before so united nor have Republicans ever before been so divided on tho tariff as they are now. In Cougress a few days ago tho Democrats voted with out dissent for the amendment to thc Cuban reciprocity bill, which cut down the differential on refined sugar, which according to the statement of the sugar trust taken ?8,000,000 a year of UB enormous profits. No less than 64 Republicans joined with the Democrats to adopt this amendment. The potato bug, which proved to be so destructive to the Irish potato crop last year, totally destroying it in many places, has already made its appearance and is ready for the fray. They can be exterminated, however, by mixing one ounce of Paris green in three pounds of flour and sifting this on the potatoes. The Southern Culti vator reeommends this, and Bays there is no danger of poisoning the potatoes. This should be done immediately after the first bug is seen, for they can soon ruin the entire patoh. The increase of the business of southern seaports during the last fow years has been phenomenal and con \ tinues at an unabating rate. A large part of the export trade that formerly went from northern ports has been captured by the ports of the South, which possess many decided advan tages. New York complains muoh of her loss of cotton exports, while New Orleans, Galveston and other south ern ports are rejoicing over the growth of theirs. Cotton ia DOW shipped .direct from New Orleans to Liverpool for 28 cents a hundred and coots just about as much to ship it to New York._ Some of tho newspapers of this State are discussing the question as to who should be allowed to enter thc Democratic primary, aud are giving themselves much concern in thc effort to solve the problem. Tht; same papers arc also having a good deal to say about "Democrats who are pre paring to join the Republicans." This is the sort of talk that is doing the Democratic party much harm. A Democrat eau diverge from the views of a 2x4 editor without joining the Republican party, he can separate himself a long way from the Popu listio program palmed ff as Dem ocracy without "joining the Republi can party." Perhaps if some ot the self-constituted critics would have their particular brand of diluted Dem* ooracy chemically analyzed they would be surprised by the variety of the in gredients developed. Under the rules of the Democratic party in this State, any white man who will piedge. him self to support the nominees, and any negro who voted for Gen. Hamp ton in 1876, and who has voted thc Democratic ticket continuously since, are the ones permitted to participate in a primary election, provided they eau. meet the legal requirements. Were it not for this rule a large num ber of the/ populUtio individuals who have H'cW office in this State for the past Un or twelve years would have long since been put outsWk; of the ranks of Democracy. Thc 22nd of May lias been named Wagoner Day nt thc Charleston Ex- j position in honor of its distinguished and energetic President, Capt P. \\ . Wagener. Every eflort will be made, and rightly so, to make this the great est day of thc Exposition. Not only thc people of Charleston but the people of the State and all portions of the country benefited hythe Expo sition, should do honor to the man wbA has been the bone and sinew, the inspiration and guide of this great Southern enterprise. Everybody who possibly can ought to assemble in the "Ivory City" on Wagener Day, and show their appreciation for him who has done so much for us. Tillman at Manning. Manning, S. C., April 25.-About two thousand people attended the meeting here to-day. Appelt failed to produce any affida vits supporting his charges against Tillman, save some bearing out his allegations as to Tillman gettingthings free from the penitentiary. Appelt offered also a telegram from Tillman saying he would speak here. The tele gram showed it was sent "dead head/' which proved Tillman had and used a telegraph frank. Tillman spoke first for n halt hour and asked Appelt for Ina case. Till man read two letters, marked "Pri vate," written him by Appelt, and said ho had a right to do so because it was part of tho war. Ile regarded Appelt. ns a tool of McLauriu. Senator Appelt offered a half dozen affidavits from former employees of the State penitentiary, nil concerning the ont crop and Bupplics furnished Tillman by the penitentiary. Neal states that Tillman got wood, coal, vegetables, fertilizers, etc., for which he paid nothing and gave orders that no charges be made. Tillman's position in reply was that this was an old matter, fully covered by the Stevenson committee. Appelt offered no certificates or affi davits as to the bond deal, whiskey re bates or anything else, only offered a table to show that re bates were paid up to 1804. Tillman said the evidence offoi ed was not sufficient to convict a dog on. No evidence was offered and Appelt he in sisted had made a complete farce. There was no use to shave an nss. Ho took up Appelt's series of ques tions and answered each. The main feature of tho speech was that he insisted that the primary would bo defeated if candidates were not made to pledge themselves to abide State and national party platforms. Ho favored two separate series of campaign meetings, one for Statu and the other for senatorial candidates, about two months apart. He denoun ced Senator J/cLaurin ns a traitor to tho party, and held that he wns n Re publican, if there wnsnny way to mnrk one. Denver Dots. Miss Daisy Whaloy, the popular as sistant teacher in the Denver High School, visited her friend, Mrs. I. V. Black, at Iva, Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Dock Craig, Miss Essie Roches ter, Mr. and Mrs. Darwin Reid, of Sandy Springs, and Miss Hattie Mc Whorfcer, of Denver, returned Saturday from a week's visit to Charleston and the Exposition. They say their trip was most enjoyable and what they saw too great to describe.

Allen preached n strong, practical sermon at Welcome Sunday to a very attentive audience. The busy season nor the scarcity of money have not deterred the colored people from buying lumber nnd going ahead enlarging their Church, Fair view, near here. They seem to have zea? if not forethought about Church business. Mrs. Lovie Garrison waa quite sick last week, bat we learn she is improv ing. Mr. W. D. Garrison and daughter, Miss Lillie, spent Monday in Anderson. Nearly everyone is buying Paris green to kill the potato bogs, which are be ginning to destroy the vines when scarcely above ground. One of "Peck's bad boys" says he saw them sitting on the row waiting for tho potatoes to come up, but we do not vouch for his statement. Wheat is looking well now, but the oat crop is not promising. Gardens are coming ou fast this lovely weather. Incoguitn. \ Mohawk Items. Wc have been having Rome pleasant weather, and the farmer? are almost through planting.

Cherokee Items. The cool and blustery days of March and April have passed and gone, and we are now enjoying the still and calm breeze of spring. Cotton and corn is coming up at a very rapid rate. Our farmers say it is as fine weather for planting as they ever saw. The lad with his fishing-tackle can now be seen on the banks of our little streams. But we don't think they will harm the "finny tribe" much. Mre. Yancy King, whose health bas been very delicate for the past few months, is now rapidly improving. Mrs. Mary Fant went to the reunion at Dallas, Texas, on 18th inst. While there she will visit her eon and return home about the 15th of May. Dr. Thad.
