Speaking about the county fair, we have yet to hear of any step being taken to make it the best ever. The Fireman's Tournament will be held in Rock Hill this year. Next year it is coming to Abbeville. If thesun shines and the rain comes there will doubtless be a crop made, even if Mr. Roosevelt is defeated. "Let well enough alone" is a good enough motto for a lazy man, but it never yet built a town. Why can't we have an extension of the Interurban from Abbeville to Anderson, by way of Due West?

A 1 11.. I unci lusiuuuon, can naruiy ue a sur- j pri.se to those familiar with the his- < tory of these alleged "graft" cases and the rules of practice and of evi dence in our courts. Attorney General Lyon has per formed what must have been an un pleasant duty in a manner to reflect credit upon him, but his fight has been an uphill one from start to fin ish. Under the rule of presumption of innocence the State must establish the guilt of the accused beyond a rea sonable doubt. How hard it is to do this any one can ascertain for himself by interviewing twelve men upon almost any subject. In the minds of of the average man Attorney Gene ral Lyon has established his case, but with the exception of one case, the evidence has been of such a nature as to permit the plea of "reasonable doubt" to have weight with jurors, 1 some of whom, at least, may have \ been disposed to look lightly upon I the offences charged. I Such being the case, it seems use- J less to pursue the matter when the < only thing that seems possible of at- I tainment is the further advertisement ( of a dark period in the history of our State?a chapter upon, which we should close the book as speedily as possible. Too long has the liquor J question monopolized public atten tion to the exclusion of questions of vital constructive work, retarding progress that might otherwise have < been made in the development of our 1 great natural resources. I^et us have an end of these prose- < cutions, remembering this blot upon our escutheon only as an experience by which we can profit in dealing with like problems in the future. LICENSE TO MARRY. Occasionally a lonesome-looking ndividual is seen standing in front )f the Probate Judge's office, with he unmistakable look that distin guishes the bridegroom. lie is not ( ommunicative about his business, >ut on being pressed, sheepishly ad- t nits that he is after a license. About1 wo colored men come to one white nan. The total number per annum vould probably not exceed two hun- j Ired and fifty. The Probate Judge, whose office t eceipts are all too small, has to issue 1 his license, collect a fee of one dol ar, and then turn seventy-five cents >f the amount into the County treas Jry' j The Press and Banner would sug gest some amendments to the license , aw. i In the first place, all the fee should < to the Probate Judge, as even ivith this iucrease, his income would carcely exceed eight hundred dollars perauuuui. Then we would make the marriage license stand for something. Theap- , plicant should be required to present i doctor's certificate that he is sound mentally and physically. To license i i man infected with some blood dis ease or who is mentally unsound, is to license crime. Hundreds of thou ?ands of children are born, only to Jie in infancy, or to live in misery as i result of such marriages. It may be .suggested that a large [Hircent of our population disregard marriage, and so they do, but law penalizes the offspring of such. The law as to marriage, like any other law, is sure to be broken, but by making the license stand for some thing." the institution will be elevat- ! ed, and men will come more and more to respect its demands. As a generai proposition, we can not say that we favor a marriage li cense law. There should be no ob struction to the purpose of a young X)uple to be married, once they have made up their mind3 to do so. If se curing a license should give the irate father the opportunity to intervene, then the license is just to that extent iin evil. But the license is now law, rind we .should make the most of it. The amendment tlnit we wish to stress is: "that the Probate Judge be required, by solemn act of the legis lature, to keep the entire fee of on< iollwr." Unless this requirement i plainly written in the law, it might l>e ignored. If he received thesi fees, and occasionally received an ad ditional fee for perioriuing the cere mony, his office would pay some thing like a living rate. And how cheerfully would this lax he paid! Wp <hmilH n?v the PrnhatP .Iiifltri well and we should give a real mean ing to the marriage license. A PUBL1C-SPIK1TED MAN. Few men- will work their ou n pri vate roads; fewer still willingly work the public roads, and the man who will work a private road ttiat he scarcely or never uses himself is more i.i ui!? 4.^,1 U../.U a ?v. until [iuuilfspirucu. ouuu n man ir Mr. Henry Wilson. He lives in Greenwood county, and yet with hi* own hands he worked a private road leading off from in front of his moth er's home in Abbeville county. It was a very rough road and Mr. Wil son has graded it like a railroad. If there were mere such public spirited citizens in Abbeville county we would have the best roads in the State. Top-Dressiug Results attained at the South Carolina Experiment Station show that a top-dress ing with nitrate of soda gives good results on cotton, corn and small grains. The Increase is most marked during a wet year because thi? nitrogen Is already in an im mediately avi liable form, while the rott ing of the organic sources does not proceed I is rapidly as usual on account of the ex- i :esa of moisture in the soil. The amount to apply per acre varies with the fertility : )f the soil and the previous fertilization, 1 jut we would suggest from fifty pounds ; ;>er acre on poor land up, according to the 'ertility of the soil. Early applications are coming into favor, j We recommend tliat the soda be applied jo corn when it is betwoen kueeand'waist jigh, to cotton just as the shapes begin to toriu, and to small grain in March. Care 3bould be taken not to sow nitrate of soda >n wet plants, because it is likely to scald i ;hem. It is best to apply it just after a rain, when the moisture has dried off of the i eaves of the plants, then cultivate with a nulch forming implement as soon as the ground is dry enough to plow.

Now the ancients have once again con firmed our old suspicions that there is nothing new under the snn. Among the latest relics unearthed from the ruins of Pompeii a perfect aeroplane of wondeiful design has been brought to light.

But, as there is no mention of the new drink or breakfast food or patent medicine that he was advertising when he made tills alleg 0b flight, we feel justified in doubting the aeeuracy of the record. The Line Up. Greenwood Index. It is interesting to note how the candi dates for State officers stand'on the ques tion of Blease or antl-Biease. Sam T. Car ter, candidate for State Treasurer is op posed ?to Blease. His opponent, D. W. McLaurin is non-committal. J. Fraser Lyon, candidate for re-election as Attor ney General, is certainly opposed to Blease. He is opposed by Hub Evans, for Blease. -T. R.

An interesting fact is,that all the old State officers offering for re-election are against the Governor. They worked in the same building with him. Senator Tillman. Buffalo (N. Y.) Times. The scars of a veteran are the noblest insignia of honor. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, was never a greater llgure in American eyes than in these days of ill health. But no amount of physical suffering can break a spirit as indomitable as that of any man who ever lived. The fearlessness, the Intellectual power, the invincible will of Senator Tillman are what they have al ways been. He is a candidate for another term in the senate. It should be granted him. We are sure his constituents feel as the country does about the matter. No legislator in the American congress is Senator Tillman's superior in parliamen tary knowledge, and grasp of the practi cal workings of government. Sprung from the people, heart, brain and soul a man of the people, beginning against the handicap of great odds, he fought his way to the foremost ranks of orators, legisla tors, and parliamentarians by sheer ge nius and force of character. His great personality has "subdued the animosities of an earlier time. Eighteen years in the feenate have made lnm understood, not only by the State of South Carolina, but by the whole nation. The United States rec ognizes In Benjamin R. Tillman one of the ablest and jmost dauntless champions of liberty, one of the most relentless foes of special privilege who ever drew breath. In a stronghold of plutocracy, ho has fought, year In and year out, the battles of bhe people. The senate, the American re public cannot afford to lose Tillman.

"| _ i 1 111 .11 ii i rtliiUnmuanil 1 ill?uiri Fourteen Reasons for i Tillman's Election ] Fditor Press and Banner: Below are 14 good reasons why the poo-. i pie of South Corolina should again honor Senator Tillman by electing him to the Senate: First: He has Ween a leader of the pro-;' gressive movement in the Democratic i ? * 11 In i Party longer man any ?u IUI l/UlliWim. in I the United States. His ilrst speech of hh- J tional {importance was made four years I before Mr. Bryan's great Chicago deliver ance. He was the target for the assaults j and scornful cartoons of the reactionaries | fftr years until "insurgency" became fash-1 ionable. He has lived to see Theodore j Roosevelt taking up the Jbest of his eon- j tentions, when twenty years ago that I statesman was calling him a "populist" j and a "dreamer." Ho secured a primary election twenty-two years before they had j become a universal demand. Second: During his long career his pri vate character has never been successful- j ly impeached. In the fierce light which I beats on high places in these days of mi croscopic analysis of character in the pub lic press his moral integrity has stood un-1 shaken and undimmed. Third: His incorruptibility In public servfce has been such ns to De tne despair | of his enemies and to warrant the implicit j confidence of his constituents. In a sen- j ate of millionaires, he is still the tribune I ofthe^people, as unimpeachable as even was the Gracchi. Fourth: The impregnable strength of his will has been and still is a tower of re sistance to the insidious efforts of reac tionaries in the Democratic party who i.nw linrvft to ush that nartv as their allies iu the other camp have so long used the j Republican party.' Fifth: The higher order of his intellect enables him to see and to analyze condi tions at the present time in a way to be of the highest benefit to the people of the state and nation. The complicated state of political affairs makes it fortunate that South Carolina has a big brain at Wash ington. Sixth: Past services are not the best reason for keeping ja public sen-ant his post, nnless those services indicate a char acter likely to l?e of further service. Sen ator Tillman's work has been exactly of this kind: It was not one sporadic .act df blazing brilliance but a series constituting a remarkable whole. Aiming these, one | of the most important was his activity fii J educational matters. An enumeration of; what he did covers almost a generation of i the life of the State. Seventh: He founded and developed Clemson College. Eighth: He did tlu same thing for Wlnthrop College. Ninth: He 1 probably saved the South Carolina College and the Citadel Academy from disintegration at a time when they might have been seriously injured. I can bear personal testimony to this myself, for when he had just been elected Govern or in 1890, he asked me to conic to see hini when I was at the head of Junior class in the South Carolina College, and I earnest ly urged upon him the election of Dr. Woodrow as President of that Institution, a step which I think will be admitted to j have been of the utmost advantage to that [ College in the existing state of affairs. [ Dr. Woodrow knew how to keep ids mouth shut as few men did, and he navigated the ? -i n-ll. 4 I. |t *l,ft olw\nle nf T\l ll l' f i On 1 - I oiu tin uuf^n mo ouuwo v? ? ly troubled waters as perhaps 110 one else might have done. Tenth: He began an era of active and interested participation in public',affairs on the part of the whole white people of the state whose steady influence ever since has been to keep the state in the forefront | of intelligent progressive political activl-j ty. Mr. Bryan once told me personally: that Senator Tillman had done more to awaken the South to new life in political1 lines than any other man in the country.1 Eleventh: He saved the Democratic | party in the state from disruption by se curing a white primary referendum nearly a quarter of a century ugo. He later kept i the 6tate free from the attempted intro- j ductlon of tho new-republicanism as rep resented by John L. McLaurin. Twelfth: He ehrystallized white man'sl government in tho Constitutional Conven-1 tion, and built upon the foundation laid by j Wade Hampton in the redemptien of the | state from radical rule an edifice so solid j ana enaunng mat it is iiituuy evei ua<?; i to fall again. Thirteenth: He taught tho people that I they were stronger than tho corporations. I Ho proved his contention in the state, and j took the lesson with hiiu to Washionton, j where he has been teaching tho nation the j same thing. Only a small tithe of what I he has done in this respect ever gets into i the papers. They m j not pnblish what j ho says always, but they go to hear him J and tlioy quote him and his words find an j echo one way or another from Maine toj California. Fourteenth: His experience in public; affairs has been such as to make a few . words from him now of greater value and j force than a year's work of a less able or j well-known man. Alexander H. Stevens j was an invalid for the best years of his life,' but he wrote a book with his trembling j lingers which will live as longjas the mem ory of the pon of Davis or the sword of; Lee. John Milton spent his jK>werful! youth in helping Cromwell to reiorm x^ng- j land, and wrote the immortal Paradise! Lost when aged and blind. As long as; Ben Tillman can lie on a couch in the Capi-1 tol and tell those around liiin to keep the j lire hot, Sou^h Carolina would do well to ! keep him there. As a matter of fact, he is not now by any means so enfeebled, but' can still do what would be a big day's! work for most men, but if the day comes? | as come it must for all?then lot him end ! his days as did Calhoun?borne to his rest J from the scene of his life-long labors, with ! his last breath encouraging his friends j and colleagues to keep up the light for II-! berty and right.
