Senator Tillman and a boat of politicians of less note are selecting tbe beet man to lead the Democratic hosts to defeat next year. Any old racer, from William Billy down will salt us. We do not care who they put up. But one thing Is certain. We want no man for president who would dlsturb the financial prosperity of the country by tinkering with tbe tariff. Tbe country Is now at tbe high tide of prosperity, aud we would let well enough-alone. We want uo man to be president who would throw away, abandon, or give up the Philippine Inlands. We want no man as president wbo would fall to push tbe digging of the Panama canal to a successful finish. Of course we do Dot expect the election of any obstructionist, but being chained to the Democratic cbarlot we expect to vote the Democratic ticket, no matter bow mtfch tbe Democratic nominee may wish to disturb tbe prosperity of the country. We expect to vote for even a tariff tloker, or a man who would throw away the Philippine Islands, or push the olty of Charleston Into the sea, or fill up tbe Panama canal, but we think tbe good sense of tbe country would never tolerate euch things as the election of a Democrat. Maybe you have forgotten tbe good old days of Grover Cleveland when cottcfn went down to five cents, when tbe business prosperity of tbe country was paralyzed, and when tbe old duck hunter bad to sell two million dollars worth of United States bond* to ran tbe government In the time of a profound peace. It may be that yon want a retnrn of sueh a disastrous government. But that doesn't matter. We will all vote tte Demoeratlc ticket. ' No Prisoner. Sheriff Lyon of this county, armed and equipped with such documents as be tbougbt the law required, proceeded to New York last week to bring back one Keaney. who Is charged with the forgery of a bank check. Gov. Hughes found Id these papers, as on a former occasion, grounds which he tbougbt warranted him indeollnlCK to honor the requisition whereby tbe Sheriff might bring him back. We are not informed if tbe BherllTs bpeech since then has been at all times exactly canonical, or If be Is nowjentltled to membership Id tbe Sunday echool classes, at "the little church around the corner." ' ? Homicides. Judge Gage, who Is bcldlng court at Anderson, makes note of tbe many homicides that occur In this State. If tbe learned Judge ' will note bow readily tbe Judges admit rea*UBUUBU uiru iu unit, uc cau iucu mvum for the presence ol a number of perjured jnrora, who disregard tbe testimony and tbe law In turning manslayers loose on tbe country. Wben Judges realise tbe enormity of tbe crime of mnrder. Jurors will do tbelr duty, and life will be protected. 1/ , ' - ? - A Good StiKiention. There U an excellent suggestion from "citizen" In ibis Issue of tbe paper, relative to driving loose cows through tbe 6treet to pasture. Tbe practice of driving loose ooWs through the street might be well cDoogl in a small town, but In a place like this where ladles are constantly on tbe street there is dacgtr of injury to person, to sa> nothing of tbe f?ar ibttt ladles ordlnarllj have ol meetiDg loof e cows Mr. W.

Farmers' Union Cotton Warehom . Plans-Clay Floor, Hollow Cemei jpply Block Wall*. The following is gotten up upon tt llllllG very simplest and cheapest plans f< vV/J^Qf the use or co-operative Unions. This plan is for one section, to whic h j may be added as many more sectioi ntea .L/cl'WIlS at times as may be required to acconn _ i date the needs of the Union. )er yara.

MATERIAL FOR ONE SECTION. 25 barrels Portland cement, 100 cubit yards of sand, 18 girders 8x12x26. 208 rafters 2x5x13, 4 sills 4x6x25?these may be round; grouDd post 10 inches diameter, 4 perlinea 2x4x25, 50 plank 1x12x8, 51 straps 1x4x8, 50 plank 1x12x12, 51 strans 1x4x12, 5,000 feet . sheeting.

For less money than it takes to pay y for a good pair of mules farmers may go to work in a neighborly way and put up their own fortifications now and ' get well entrenched ready for the fighting that is sure to come this fall tc force cotton farmers to turn loose their cotton at prices that have always made all others rich that bandied cotton .excepting the men who toil most of all to , produce this cotton. / If this warehouse movement among cotton growers progresses in gain log strength and confidence amoDg cotton producers as time passes, as it is now doing, we look for eeveral thousand ol these co-operative warehouses to be pul I up this summer. When cotton producers get a great chain of these warehouses linked tor getber in all cotton states in bonded form and produce their own farm sup , plies, this concert of action in a business way will place this whole cotton I proposition upon a firm foundation and insure continued prosperity, not onlj " *o cotton growers, but it will also bring prosperity to every industry in the South. h t . t There is nothing new in. the art o; making artificial stone or cemenl blocks by properly mixing sand anc lf cement. Tola art is about as old as th< 3 country. But the recent improve >' rncnfa in f.hft man u fact urine ana con sequent cheapening of the coet of ce 8 ment and the machinery for forming ? these hollow blocks has reduced th< * cost of this bmlding material to suet y an extent that it now looks like we art ' into what might be called the. cemen 8 or concrete aee. ? These small hand powef machines D weighing from 400 pounds up and cost 6 ing from $50.00 up, may be set up a any convenient place, and by follow " ing the instructions sent out with thes< * machines most any intelligent mai i can make these hollow blocks and pu up these warehouse walls. 0 Any further information on tbi 6 warehouse subject may be had by an] |j Union men that will address this bu 11 reau and enclose stamped envelope fo J reply.
