When the hills of South Carolina are covered with cattle and sheep and thc valleys are turned into grain fields with cotton for a surplus crop then wili agricultural independence and prosperity como to our farmers. Anderson is making preparations for a big gala week about tho 1st of August. It will be a most interest ing and enjoyable occasion, and our poople will want all their friends and relatives to visit them and participate in tho exercises. It is stated that a printing office in Michigan is opened and closed with prayer. This is a rare exeej.fton to the rule, as from time immemorial it has been tho custom for printing offices to bc opened by thc devil and closed by thc Sheriff. Gross earnings of all railroads in the United States reporting for the first week of Mayare $7,555,311, au increase of 13.4 per cent over laBt year and 27.3 per cent over 11)01. Tho re port compares favorably with preced ing weeks and sh own a continued heavy tonnage in all sections of tho Coun try._ The Hampton monument' commis sion reports that about half of thc necessary $10,000 has been raised by popular subscription. The commis sion urges those who undertook to collect the money to bestir themselves. Anderson County, should and must make a liberal subscription to this fund. That Indianapolis chambermaid who refused to make up a bcd after Broker Washington had slept in it has already received several thousand dollars in donations from admirers of her pluck. The Washington Post suggests that it would be a graceful appreciation on her part to endow a bed in tho TUH keegeo Inststutq. In view of tho high price of cotton many farmers probably foci like kick ing themselves for not holding their product. Generally speaking, the man who sells when his cotton is ready for market comes out ahead in the long mn. The presnnt prices are purely speculative and they would not he so high if there was much ootton to he marketed. Carroll D. Wright, United Sutes labor commissioner, says that his in vestigations lead him to believe that no loss of respeot toward woman re sults from the co-employment of the sexes, "and as to moral conditions among women wage-earners," he de clares further, "they are as high as among other class of women and cer tainly bette*- than among some." If the farmers of this oounty want a Farmers Institute this summer, it will be necessary for them to send a request to President Meli of Clemson College, sigued by not loss that fifteen farmers, that an institute he held hore. The institutes are beneficial in many respects to the farming interests of the oounties in whioh they are held, and we would be glad to see one held in Anderson oounty each year. In the quantity of tobacco produced South Carolina is now the soventh State in the union, laBt year's crop having sold for upwards of three mil lion dollars, the money value of abont seventy five thousand bales of ootton. Very near all that orop was made in the Poo Doo Seotion. When tho Western oounties learn how to mako it and tho better profit it pays thc production will be largely increased, and King Tobacco may yet succeed King Cotton. . There are many historic trees in the country, and it is beliovcd by tho De partment of Agriculture that interest in tree planting can can bc stimulated by distributing a limited number of these trees under proper direction. The seedlings, when grown, will be sent to schools in various parts of the country, and there will accompany eaoh tree a concise statement setting forth the historio events connected with the tree itself, and the growing of the seedling. Unless the maohinery of nature slips a cog between now and harvest, the American farmer is to score again this Henson. ' The cereal outlook was never more promising at this time of year. Of the 34,000,000 acres of win ter wheat sown last fall, the agricul tural department's canvass shows 33, 000,000 aores standing in p;imo con dition and^premising a yield of $520, 000,000 bushels with normal success. If the spring wheat holds iu own with average years, the United States ?ill have 720,000,000 bushels of wheat in the bin in the autumn. At thc reunion in New Orleans last week tlje Confederate Veterans re solved to erect a monument to tho women of the South, but thc place of location of the monument has not been selected. This step will meet with tho endorsement of every patri otic citizen of the South. In speak ing of the matterat New Orleans Geo. John H. Gordon said: "There never will be a monument high onough, nor pure enough, nor grand enough for the women of tho South. I will not die. if the good Lord spares me, till I see that monument and Southern sun shining around it." OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Special Correspondence of Jntell?{fencer. Washington, I). C., May 25, 1003. Tho country generally will bo glad to hear that Judge Alton li. Parker, ot New York, is "a candidate" for the prcHidcutnl nomination on the Demo cratic ticket. Tho mysticism surrounding the Judge, his identity and his services aro likely to bo succeeded by a syste matic ellort to acquaint the country with all the features of the Judge's per sonality and policies that until ?now have, buen subjects of debate. . Til? J migo, according; to a prominent Now York politician with whom I had a long talk bern'the other day, and who does not desire his name used in con nection with this interview, has de clared that he will accept the noun nation if former Senator David ??. Hill is found unavailable. This reve lation was made not moro thnn eight days ugo and my informant is not tho only porBon to whom the"tip" has been given by word of mouth. . Tho Court of Appeuls of tho Stato of New York is presided over by Judge Parker, who, by the wuy, was elected because the Low fusion ticket declined to indorse Flatt's can didate for the Chief Justiceship of the Court of Appeals. More than a hun dred thousand votes for Low were blank on the judicial liao. Thus, Judge Parker got a handsome plural ity, not because of the votes he got, but because bis opponent did not re ceive 140,000 votes he ordinarily would have received. Tho Judge was a minority candidate. But to return to the open candidacy. Judge Purker, who is a politiciaa of a superior kind, wrote a little note to a democratic leader of aa eustera county of New York State, when that gentle man appeared as a lawyer beforo the Court of Appeals. The note read sub stantially as follows: "Do nie tho favor to stop in tho anteroom of tho Court when we adjourn." The leader acceded to thc request. Tho Judge appeared, clad in his judicial robe. He (hitied the silken gown, hung it up in (he wardrobe greeted the lead or warmly, opened a box of cigars, and began tho conversation in a jolliest and friendliest way possible. "What are they saying about poli tics up your way?" said tho Judge. Tho leader, nattered, exultant, yet surprised, made conventional reply. As a result of a protracted talk. Judge Parker said: "Yes, I notice I have been suggested for the presiden tial nomination. Hut, of course, I could not think of accept ung the nomi nation if it were at nil possible for Hill to get it. Hill is a great man. Ho can handle the great public ques tions to advantages The presidency bas been his lifetime's ambition & I could not think of stepping in to defeat that ambition. I owe him my political existence." "But," continued the Judge "should it appear that Senator Hill cannot be nominated, I think I might, with pro priety, take the nomination." Thia explanation relieves tho situ ation. Former Senator Hill and Judge Parker are working hand in glove. Judge Parker will not step in between Hill and his life ambition, bat if Hill cannot get it the Judge will take it. As the Judge truly says there is no impropriety in this. The fact that the Chief Judge of tho Court of Appeals should in the halls of the State's high est tribuoal talk politics and his own ambitions might cause surprise were it not known that prior to his elevation to the judiciary he was one of Hill's ?shrewdest lieutenants. I nm informed that Judge Parker has frankly stated his desires to other New York lenders, and in the samo way. Ho has sent them iiotes by the court messenger, talked about politics ia general, extolled Hill, explained he would not interfere with Hill's ambi tion, but if Hill wer? unavailable; then the Judge would take it. There are now many persons dis cussed for the democratic presidential nomination. Richard Olney, Alton B. Parker, David B. Hill, Arthur P. Gor man, Grover Cleveland, Senator Wil liam J. Stone, of Missouri; Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio; Judson Harmon, of Ohio: Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois; Ben T. Cable, of Illinois; Representa tivo Williame, of Illinois; Gov. Garvin, of Rhode Island; William Jennings Brynn, of Nebraska; and Willinn Ran dolph Hearst. From this list you can select a gold Democrat, a sil vor Demo crat, a single taxer, a jurist, a politi cian, an old man, a young man, an easterner or a westerner. You caa pick a short, fat man, or ft long, thin man. Yon can have a garrulous man or a reticent one. Yon can hnvo a jolly man or the sad man. You eau lind a rich man or a poor mau. You can lind some who cannot be either ii om i na ted ur elected. You eau hud some who can be nominated but not elected. Who is the idenl of the list? Who is just old enough and not too old, young enough uud not too young, rich enough to wage u great campaign, Jeffersonian enough to satisfy the moat exacting democrat, brilliant nod resourceful enough to pit against Hanna nod his crew, generous and philanthropic enough to relieve distress and the re sults of disaster, broad enough to re gard the whole people, conservative enough to appeal to honest wealth as a true conservator, progressive enough to encourage trades unionism and bc j regurded ut* it? beat friend? Wiio ia ' the man wno polled the greatest vote ever cast for any candidate <it any par- j tv in Now York, the mun who taught Roosevelt and tho north their duty to the South on tho negro question, tho man who fought for tho ticket in 1890 aud 1900ms no other person not on the ticket fgnght for it, who, in brief, is the humanitarinu, tho American, the patriot T Without dieparagonicnt to any ono else on the list, I can truthfully say there ie but one man who can answer this description. 1 need not name him -his name will suggest itself to every democrat in the country. There is so much secrecy about the investigation of the Post Office scan dai? and such an air of mystery main tained by tho department officials that the newspapers and the public are jus tified in believing that the looting and mismanagement is even woree, than it really may be. It evidently is the in tention ot tho Postmaster General to suppress the news about the progress of ttie investigation as a move to abate the public interest and moderate the consequences to the administration. There is a growing feeling here that a corrupt department caunot thorough ly investigate itself, and that the whole thing will have to be investigated by Congress. And who is there who be lieves that a republican Congress will honestly investigate a republican de partment when every man hurt will be a republican administration. The only way to get at the bottom of these things is to elect a democratic Congress. It is up to the people. Chas. A. Edwards. Prospect Dots. The health of thin community is very good nt thio writing. An old folks singing wan held at this place last Sunday, and it was a most enjoyable occasion. It wn6 like old times to hear the old time songs sung. There was a large crowd present, and among them were several professors who sang and enjoyed themselves. Mr. John Eskew woe the head-of itali, aud he lind his fun. Sloan Harbin had the misfortune to lose his barn by fire on the 20th inst., and all of his :orn and fodder and farming tools. This is a heavy loss on him, for he will have to buy corn to feed on the balance of the year, undMt is very scarce in this section. John Neal, of Pickens, visited J. S. Neal and wife on the 19th inst. Samuel Harbin is now sick with something like fever, but we hope he will soon recover. James Bolt, of this section, is plow ing up his cotton and replanting it, as he has not got a good stand. I B. L. G. To the Members of Roberts Church. Dear Brethren! Our Church owes ono of its members au honest debt for faithful services continuously render ed and theL debt is increasing as the weeks and months go on. The session lins appointed a collection to bo.taken iu the Church on the 6th Sabbath of this month to try to pay ns much of the debt ns possible^ so let every one come to the Church thatuay prepared to give liberally to this worthy object, and if any one ozones be providential ly hindered from coming, let all such send nn honest contribution.
