HARMVN-, Editor pnd Publisher. Wednesday, June 10,1903. Some of the farmers are blue over the destruction of their crops caused by the excessive down pour of rain d jring the past week. This sDouid ^ Dot be the case. No pood can possi- { bly come of grumbling with the j dispensations of providence and sic- j ting down and spending our time in f useless repining over things and \ conditions that are beyond our power ^ to control and regulate. The in- j stincts of true manhood leads us to j arouse ourselves from the lethergy j produced by adverse circumstances , and face the emergencies before us. ( Int our farmers go bravely to work, with as cheerful a heart as they can possibly wear, to retrieve, as far as j possible, their losses arising from . ruined crops. There is plenty cf time in which to plant cotton, corn, psas, potatoes and other products . and make abundant crops Let them practice strict economy by lopping off all useless and unnecessary expenses and go manfully to work and we are satisfied that when the crops are all housed, things will not look bo blue as they now eeem and the result will , justify the hard work. Speaking of some of the benefits to the people of the town and country i 89 the sequence of county fairs, the , Columbia State sums up its conclu- ( 8ion8 with the following clear cut 1 opinion in wnich we heartily concur: ^ "Toe town and the country do need ^ i) get together, their interests are ( mutu ?l and one canDOfc prosper with- ^ out the o*her. There is hardly anything which will assist in the crea- ^ tion of a better social and business ^ friendship between the two than ^ a properly conducted county fair, ^ where the products of the factory as ^ well as the farm, the stock of the stores as well as the stock of the a etables, can be dispU?ed and were with the appropriate amusements and diversions the folks from the country ^ snd ihe folks from the town can rningls together and learn to know each other better." *'Tbere are 30.000 negro voters in N-?wYork, 21,000 io New Jersej, 9 3 000 ia R iode I >land, 8 000 in Dela- * ' w ire, 60,000 in Mart land, 15,000 in ' West Virginia, 18,009 in Indiana and 14 000 in Kansas. On this basis of 3 the majorities in the election of 1902, * the transfer of this vote would have ^ resulted ia a Democratic victory in * all of these States " c And this is the "miik in the cocoa- 8 cut/' and is an eloquent explanation of the reason wn> the Republican 8 party love3 the n*gro so, and why 8 Teidy, "Tha Rough Rider" in partic- c ealir is so anxious to humble himself by playing lackey to the "Brother iD ?

[Continued frem Page Six J night and streogtb the Confederate joldier aided by others accomplished ;he great result which I have mentioned?making the South from a naterixl standpoint many times richer than she was with her slave chatties hod all other evidences of wealth, ost with the downfall of the Confederacy. And so. Confederate Vetera dp, I thick that your success in the paths of peace is do less reDown than you won in war, snd that your bearing and rour manhood and your truthfulness md integrity in piping times of peace have lent additional lustre to ;he name crowning you upon a thousind fields of carnage. But what at last made you great in ffar and greater still io peace? It was your women! The women )f the Confederacy! God bless them md their names and their deeds orevei! Unaided and unsupported in the lark hours of defeat, unchastened by hem in their hcly ministration when he heart grew sick with hope de!erred and the mantle of di-pair had ;hut out from your stout hearts the ast lingering spark of trust and conldence, when your bleeding hands rod gaping wounds spake responsive :o your torn and bleeding feet, when Datriotism itself had lost its power to nvest you longer with love of country, and lay supine and all but dead in the agony of your surroundings, who snatched your banner from the 3usf, cheering you on once again to do and die, and aided and supported you aud chastened you when she came? Who was it that turned away from the lighter things of earth, and took up the burthens of the hospital and camp while the bright eyes of youth and beauty were yearning to toy with joys of love and pleasure? who soothed the wounded and dying, red with the crimson current of battle, and handled bloody wounds in Kl-io $ flf.M-t fn fifrin t.hfl pbbincr tide of lift? Who preached the Gospel of Christ to you with the lips and heart, while she was with her haDds girdiDg ycu about with the weapons of war, thus teaching yon bow to live and r and how to die for dear native land? Ihe Greek mother told her son to some back to her with his shield or apon it. The Confederate mother pent forward to the scene of carnage tnd placed her gallant dead upon his shield. She followed, she was in the vake of his army wherever he fought, vhether at Sbilob, or Missionary X'dge, or Chicamaugs, or Spottsylrania, or on the red lines of Petersburg, fbe was there to take up her >rave Confederate soldier and place rim upon bis shield. Afc! be is passing away, passing iwa}! The bhring trumpet no more ouses thousands and thousands of hose who came home. Tbeydoreet rom their Itbors with their comrades if other days. "No imre amid the storm of battl9 Shail their hearts ezhalting swell " And it is even so with the Confederate women. They are passing iway, passing away. The places rbich knew them will soon, too soon, mow them no more forever. Oar women have not forgotten rou, however, and never will. It is hey who have kept alive the campires of love and devotion to a cause vbich tempted men to die for it belause it was the incarnation of right ,nd justice and truth. And thu9 the Confederate women itrives to perpetuate it, as you look iround you and see these emblems >f love and devotion and veneration. Who is it that comes in memorial jarb to lay with tender touch BDd oving hearts these immortelles upon hegiaveof deathless valoi? Who juards the bivouac of the deathless lean? Who has watched over and jared fur the immortal remnant of hat immortal host, and is ever lendDg herself to the preservation of tie >acred relics of the Lost Cause? Who formed tfcewselves into societies vhobe sole object is the protection of he liviog veterans and ihe defence if their sacred memoriet? Who Linong all the women of the earth lave erected monuments all over heir land to commemorate the deeds f a defeated soldiery, the downfall if their nation? Woo but the women )' the Suuth, a part of the Confed erate Veteran?. What is that over , there within our sight standing guard above this scent? There he stands in unimpassioned marble representing nothing but a lost cause, a holy war, a righteous and just people wbo fought to the death not for what they believed to be right, but what they knew then and know now to have been ab-olutely right sud just. I would not have you think me sacreligious in the declaration, fori bow my head in submission to the religion of my inheritance, but as Christ died for men, even so the Confederate soldier died for liberty. "There he stands like a he^o?See!

And the roll is called in the judgment day." j G?l. J. Q Mirshall, of Columbia proposes to organize a joint slock company with sufficient capital to build a large resevoir at Piatt Spriogs 1 iu tbis county, and lay large mains from there to Columbia to supply that city with sn abundance of pure | drinking water. These springs were once a fashionable summer resort for the planters of the adjacent country as well as the people of Columbia There was a large hotel there which was well patronized, and several had ! cottages thereabounts. In those days society was brilliant there. Sometime ago a story went the rounds of the press that Senator McLaurin had lost all his wealth in an unfortunate speculation in the Mohawk Steel Go's., securities. It now turns out that the ex-Senator has not lost a penny of his money. A special to the Savannah Press from New York says, "that after several conferences Senator McLaurin obtained a check for the entire amount in dispute and has left for his home. And thus the episode ends pleasantly for all concerned. Pi of. Ir D. Hicks, fhe Wbell known ; weather prophet of St. Louis, cerI tainly predicted a month in advance the floods, tornadoes and cloud bursts 1 which have recently destroyed so many lives and property. For proof of this see Word and Works for J une. | Columbia must have pure wat*r | and enough of it?Columbia State.
