Morgan, a straight out prohibitionist, was nominated last w^ek by acclamation for gov ernor of Massachusetts by the state Democratic convention. Steadily the prohibition senti ment grows. The nomination of a man of the Morgan typo would doubtless.have been an impassi bility .in Massachus tts a decade ago. -_ Sb3uld the internal strife iii Cuba lead to Uncle Sam's anuaxa tion of the ''Baby Republic," Cu ban sugar would bs put on the free list.

Give us "free" sugar. Col. U. R. Brooks, of Columbia, who is now writing a history of Butler's Brigade, says that during the Civil War nhe South fought the world, the flesh and the devil." He further states that there were only 600,000 Confoderatee against a total enlistment of the federal army of 2,778,304, which was com posed of the following: Whites from the North 1,777,433 Whites from the South 316.424 Foreigners 494,90^ Negroes. 186,017 .

" The ^continued rains damaged much of the cotton in the field, making it difficult to spin. Some of the :-[mills', so a dispatch from S parta.ii burg states, are refusing to buy this year's cotton. Great odds are against the bears and it is very probable that the price wilL yet advance. One cent per pound ad yance means about five, dollars per bale, which would put thou sands of dollars in the pockets of the cotton producers of this coun ty, or enable- them to liquidate a greater amount of indebtedness. The lines are drawn and a bat tle royal ?B on in Aiken county. There are two contestants, Messrs. Toole and Polatty, for th? etate senate to succeed the late Senator Johnson. The former is against the dispensary and the latter is for it. The roason why so. much interest is centered upon this race is because the result will probably ] decide the fate of the dispensary. So nearly even are the opposing forces in the senate that Senutor Johnson's successor may cast the deciding ballot. The odds are in favor of Mr. Toole, who as a can didate for congress carried Aiken county by a comfortable majority. Mr. Polatty was a candidate for the House on the dispensary plat form in the recent campaign and ".was defeated. The election will be held on Saturday, the 13 inst. - The Correct Idea. One intelligent negro, writing to the New York Herald says: "Ever since the president had Booker T. Washington to dine with him at Washington the ma jority of the negroes of the South think that tho white people of the North wish social equality with them? but if any n^gro manor white .nan says .that tht president believes in social equality, he jies." This negro has evidently learn ed something other-?than the knowledge found only in books. It is ? pity that others of his race have not learned the same lesson, that good behavior in tho South will beget; them more contentment and happiness, iu a week than so cial equality in the North will furnish them iu a life time. Booker . Washington did his race an irreparable wrong when he i went to the White House aud accepted the president's invita fiS^?i?.f^^^ j tio.u. Mc ny have little faith in his teach i u gp. He preaches one thing and practices another and the sooner the ideas ot' the New York Herald's correspondent am put into practice by the members of j his race elsewhere, the happier they may be.-Angosta Herald. "Tricks of The Trade" or Dishon est Methods. - While iii session in Washington a few days ago, the national As sociation of Ineurauce Commitc sionor'c adopted stringent resolu tions agaiuBt the practice of grant ing special r?bates and certain get rich-quick schemes which some bf the life insurance companies cave adopted. It is a fact that eeveral companies give secret contracts to oueormore prominent citizens of a community, graotiug enormous dividends, in order to induce these citizens to tarnish testimonials concerning the liberality of the companies, large dividends, otc. "From these testimonials it ap pears that these companies pay larger divideuds than any of their competitors, when, as a matter of fact, their usual dividends are much less. The officers of a mutual life in surance company have r.o lpgal or moral right to grant enormous dividends to a favored few of tb<;ir policy ho'de re ia ord^r to induce these policy holders to write mis leading and deceptive testimoni als. Such companies ought to be tabooed, and will be when the general public become informed as to their dishonest method of se curing business. NOTICE. Woman's Mission Societies.

There was quite a good congregation in attendance upon ihurch here. Mr. Cab Key fiom Modoc at tended church here yesterday. Cab has many friends in this commu nity who are always glad to see him. Mr. Joe Hamilton is having his store room enlarged and filled from floor to ceili?g with goods. The sudden rise in the price of cotton has encouraged the far mers quite a good deal. Cotton ought to bring at least ten cents and we believe that the farmers would be safe in holding cotton for that price. The coru is rotting iu the field, too much wind aud rain. The potato crop promises to be good when they, are worked. Fall and winter gardens are a failure. It is now a good timn to sow win ter turnips.
