It is said that prosperity is heading

Major Hemphill will be on hand.
Consistency is Indeed a rare Jewel

Lancaster reeds a curb market,
where farmers may sell their produce

The Newberry Observer remarks
very pertinently that while cotton
has gone to nine cents it didn't go
so high until it had gone out of the |
hands of the farmers.
We wish for John Itunny a complete
restoration to health. Not to I,

The annual reunion of the Confederate
veterans of South Carolina

May the soldiers of the sixties renew
their youth even as they renew the
friendships of long ago and may their j
last days be filled with peace.
C.ood cotton is now bringing ten
cents on the market. This may he j
a good price at whic hto sell cotton

rise in price.
The Death of Col. A. B. Andrews,

We are being constantly plied
with the question as to when the
war will end. Newspaper editors are
supposed to know everything, but!
we must confess this question gets
us. Perhaps the well-informed president
of the State Press Association
has some definite information on the
subject not in our possession.

We are beginning to hear mutterings
of discontent from Governor
Manning's political rivals, particularly
from one who acted in a
"shut-mouth" manner when Manning
ran against Richards in the second
primary. We venture the prediction
that none of these malcontents
will over be governor of South

GOVERNOR MANNING. +
!p
G< /ernor Manning is being criticized
and quite sharply by many
originul supporters for his "slip-up",
in the matter of appointing a new
superintendent for the Hospital for
the Insane at Columbia. While it is
regrettable that the governor did not
examine the state constitution before
making the appointment of a new
superintendent, yet he is to be ex
cused in view of the fact that he was j
looking for what the institution has
long been in need of, an expert
alienist. And as no alienist could
be found in the state, it was natural
for him to look without the state, as
Senator Tillman, when governor, did
when he gave Doctor Babcock the
appointment in the early nineties.
Tillman's appointment wis constitutional.
having been made under the
constitution of 1868, which had no
such foolish provision as the present
constitution which does not permit
the governor to go out of the state in
making a selection of a Superintendent
for the Hospital. And then
there is also dissatisfaction because
the governor made the salary $6,000
per annum, double the amount allowed
by law. We are not altogether
sure that the governor did not make
a mistake in doing this. Inasmuch
as he could not find an alienist in the
state and had to appoint a good physician,
we think it would have been
better to have found one who was
willing to serve for $3,000, and if
the salary was to be increased the
next legislature could have increased
it. However, we have no quarrel
with Governor Manning about the
matter. His motives are good in
seeking to do his very best for the
eighteen hundred poor unfortunata
people for whose welfare he is responsible.
There is one thing about
Governor Manning which has impressed
us more than any other, and
that is that he is administering the
office of Chief Magistrate of the
state according to his own ideas of
his duty to the people and not aceordine
to the tmlimm of the urn.
fession.il politicians. It is evident
that he is not bent so much on making
his administration popular. His
aim. rather, has been to act in the
interest of the people rather than in
his own interest. I'nlike his predecessor.
ex-Governor Mease. he is
not trying to toward his friends an?l
punish his enemies. In h appointments
to office, fitness for the position
to be filled comes before all
other considerations. The Jacksonian
slogan "to the victors belong the
spoils" is not uppermost in Mr.
Manning's mind. Like our great
president, he realizes the high trust
that has been imposed upon him by
the people and he is striving in his
own way to do his duty as God has
given him to see it.

and hoes, and even though he has

there is still time to provide pasturage
Ti e Anderson Intelligencer
says there are three reasons why
there are so few pastures and the
three reasons may be summed up In
the single word. "Cotton." The Intelligencer
continues:
"We can. if we want to, have pastures
the whole year round. The
clovers, the vetches, rape, rye. oats,
barley and other tilings will furnish
an abundant winter vegetation

"Any piece of land treated that
way will be ready to give back some

September. If it is fertile land, it
will give a considerable amount of
grazing the very first year.
"Old burmuda sods should be
broken up every two or three years
and treated with a slight dressing ot
nitrate of soda. By breaking there
up you get two beneficial results
One is that the burmuda will itsell

its growth, but by breaking the soil
the grass is sent on its way rejoic

+ HAS LEARNED A liESSON. *
* *
We had a conversation a few days
ago wth a fanner of the cqunty, who
said he had been taught a lasting
leeson by the prevailing Hard times
caused by the war in Europe. He
told us he planted twenty acres o*t
his land in cotton laat year and
made eighteen bales thereon, but
that owing to the big debt he had'
contracted for its production and the
low price he got for the crop he was
not able to pay a $400 balance of a
mortgage on his land. He said he
tried to borrow money last fall but
could not get It anywhere. When his
taxes, amounting to |35, became
due, he was at a loss to know what to
do. He was almost on the point of
selling out and moving to the cotton
mill. But he managed at last to
think a way out of the difficulty. He
had several head of hogs, cows, aud
some farm produce. He sold some
of these, paid his taxes and the Interest
on his land debt and has made
the balance run his farm up to the
present time. He further says that
he expects to owe very little on the
crop he makes this year and that
God being his helper, he is going to
keep out of debt in the future. In
the fall of the year he planted oats
and wheat and will plant only half
as much cotton as he planted last
year. He says if he had been economical
during the past ten years ho
would have been a man.of means today.
This farmer says he has learned
a lesson he will never forget but
that it took a world-wide war to
teach it. ,,
^
Now that the Barnes-Roosevelt
damage suit is now on at Syracuse,
N. Y., the war in Europe must temporarily
step aside.
