Grover Clove land will be present and other Demo crats who have opposed the Bryan ideas. The annual report of the Trustees of Clemson College has been sent in to the State officials, and is a very encouraging one. It shows that tho attendance has been larger than for any year during its existence except the first, and that all of tho regular and special work haB been moat satis factorily carried on. Gen. E. W. Moise died at his homo in Sumter last Monday night, after a brief illness, aged 70 years, and by his death South Carolina loses one of her best and most patriotic citizens. Ile was a gallant Confederate soldier, and ir. 187G was elected Adjutant and Inspector General on tho Hampton tioket, which position he held for four years. - mm . --- The Newberry Herald and News displayed considerable enterprise in issuing a daily during the annual ses sion of the Methodist Conference in that city during the past week. It was illustrated, oontained a full re port of each Bossion, many biograph ical sketches of tho prominent mem bers and other interesting reading matter. Richard W. Hutson has been ap pointed clerk of tho United States District Court to fill tho oOioo made vacant by the death of his father, Col. C. J. C. Hutson. Mr. Hutson has been deputy clerk sinoo January 1, 1896. Ho is eminently qualified to conduot thc affairs of the office, and his appointment by Judge Brawley was in recognition of his efficient ser vioe. The Columbia Record Bays Comp troller-Derham declares that if prop erty in this State wero assessed at its full value the tax levy oould bo made three mills and there would be an abundance of money to run the State government. It oan hardly bo expect ed that the Legislature will do any thing looking towards this end, but it can give the board of assessors more power and thus get much unreturned property ou tho lists and mako tax ation more equal. -? o - - It is not an infrequent thing for a newspaper man to be called upon to devote its local columns to boosting of some enterprise, both private and pub. lio, and when tho event has come off tho editor is not even remembered with even that cheapest of all recom penses, a complimentary ticket. Peo ple who would not dare to go to the grooeryman or butcher and ask the gift of a sack of flour or a roast of beef; without compunction, ask whole columns of thc editor, when this is his stock in trade just as the flour to the grocer. The chief events of thc past week in religious oiroles have beeo the meet ings of the South Carolina Methodist Conference at Newberry and the Stato Baptist Convention at Greenville. Both conventions were largely attend ed and many matters of interest and importance to the two denominations were disposed of. The efforts to have the Methodist Female College removed from Columbia, whioh failed, and the discussion over the fitness of Prof. Moore, of the faculty of Furman University, were tho matters which were productive* of the most spirited disouHsion in the two organizations. The Baptist Convention eleoted Rev. h. M. Roper, of Spartanburg, Presi dent of Furman University. South Carolina's Cotton Mills. Tho cotton mill industry tor tho State of South Carolina represen tn, up tothis date, an investment of eapital amounting to $40,077,920, in exact figures. Ol* this amount $3,880,000 rep resents 18 new ii i i 11 ts that Lave been established during the year 1002, and ot these, liv?: have been established in Anderson County, and represent a capitalization of $970,000, just about one-fourth of the amount invested this vrai in tlx; cotton mill industry in this Slate. lt may not he n remarkable fact, hut it is mn- wot thy ol note, thal every cot ton mill hui two projected in the State during the year I'.)!)'.' are to be located in the up-country, and all hut nix of them within a radius ol .VJ miles ol An del sou. The cotton mills established! during tin- year, with their capitalization, is, tt. ilute, as follows: I ?rosoli Cotton Mill, Anderson, $500, OOo; ChiquoluMantifuctuiingCompuny, Anderson, $200,000; ll. c. Townsend Cotton Mill. Anderson, $25,000; Colona Mills, Anderson, $20,000; Toxoway Milln, Anderson, $225,000; Woodside Cotton Mills, (Greenville. $200,000; Ninety-Six Cotton Mill, Ninetv-Six, $200,000; Lydia Cotton Mills, Clinton, $00,000; Ware's Shoals Manufacturing Company, Laurens County, $500,000; Apulocho Mill, Spartanburg County; $:!50,000; lieviugKville Cotton Mill, Spartanburg County, $100,000; I > ray ton Mills, Spartanburg, $250,000; Tyger Cotton Mill, Spartanburg, $100,000; McGee J/unutucturing Company, Greenville. $100,000; Greenwood Mills, Kasley. $200,000; 11 rom I Uiver Mills, Richland, $100,000; Arcadia Mills, Spartauburg, $200,000; Marlboro Cot ton Mills, McCall, $1,000,000. Total, $8,880,000. Only one other year in the history of the State exceeds the present y eur in ! cotton mill building and that was the . year 1900, when $5,410,000 was the capi tal invested for the year. Of the $40,577,927 invested in tho cot ton mill industry in the State, Ander son contributes ($?,000,000) eight mil lions of dollars, nearly one-fifth of tho entire amount, and this development has taken placo within the last thir teen years, or since IHN!?, when the An derson Cotton Mills were built. When to this is added $:S50,000 invested in cotton Heed mills and fertilizer indus try, $550,000 in electrical plant, includ ing lights and water works, and $50, 000 in tho sewerage system just com pleted, to say nothing of tho many small industries of the city, Anderson is at once seen to occupy a proud posi tion in industrial development; and yet every one acquainted with tho resources of Anderson does not doubt for ? mo ment that what has been accomplished is but a beginning of what is to follow. Tho cotton mill industry is rapidly moving from tho East to the cotton fields of tho South. This is as natural ns that night must follow day. Cheap ness of manufacture can best be at tained in those sections where cotton is grown. The New England mili? cannot continuo to compete with South ern milla with the item of freight en tering into the cost ol raw material. And those sections of the South pos sessing greatest natural resources are the sections in which this industry will locate. Electrical power, as has brun clearly demonstrated, is the great. ?J'ti sideratum, and in this paltieular An derson has a decided advantage. Lying quite near thu citv and within tho bor ders of tho County, aro resources, easy of development, which will furnish 00, 000 electrical horse-power, enough to run twenty-five mills of 25,000 spindles each. The development of this great resonrce is now under advisement by those who can readily command nil thu money needed for the purpose, and tho beginning of this work will be the be ginning of an era o? prosperity und rapid growth of population no part of thu Statu has uver seen.

The Busy Store, Phone 65. MeCuliy Building G. H. BAILES & CO. LAZES ! ! THI8 is the name of the girl that the irate head of the house calls when his wife cooku the FLOUR he bought from some other fellow guaranteed to be as good os Dean's Patent He finds it so sticky he can't eat it ; the more he chews it the bigger it wads up in his mouth, and when he carries it back to the man he bought it from, he is told that his wife don't know how to bake good bread. This is enough to make any man mad, and say funny names, but thsro is no excuse for it. He ought to have eense enough, as his wife told him, to know that there is no Flow "just as good" as DEAN'S PATENT, and he ought to buy it all the time, although he is offered something "just as good" for 25c. a barrel less.
