TO THINK OWN SELF BE TRUE AND IT MUST FOLLOW AS THE NIGHT THE DAY, THOU OANS'T NOT THEN BR FALSE TO ANY HAK. BY JA YNES, ?Xl 101.OK, SMITH J& STECK. WAUIAIJiA, SOUTH CAROLINA, OCTOBER IO, 1800. NEW SERIES. NO. 71._VOLUME ti_NO. 4.? "WE WILL KEEP THEM. President McKinley Declares tho Philippine Polloy-A Strong Document. In bia speech at Minneapolis, on Octobor 12, President McKinley spoke as follows : "Thc century, now drawing to ft close, has been tho most memorable in the world's progress and history. The march of mankind in moral and intelle?tifnl advancement has been onward and upward." Ho then reviewed exhaustively the expansion of the government at home, referring to the purchase of Louisiana, Alaska and tho acquisi tion of other territory, showing the progressa of the nation. (Joining down to recent events, ho said : "In the last year we have added to the territory of tho United States tho territory of the Hawaiian Is lands, ono of the gems of the Pacific ocean, containing 0,742 square miles, Porto Rioo, containing 3,000 square miles, Guam, containing 50 square miles, and the Philippine archipel ago, embracing approximately 148, 000 square ?niles. This last acquisi tion is about one-sixth the size of the Original Thirteen States ; it is lar ger than tho combined area of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Caro lina and tho District of Columbia. It excoeds in area all tho New lCng land States ; it is almost as large as Washington and Oregon combined, and greater than Ohio, Indiana and Illinois united. Three times larger than New York and three and one half times larger than the State of Ohio. "Tho treaty of peace with Spain which gav?! us the Philippines, Porto Rico and Guam met with some op position in the Senate, but was rati fied by that body by moro than a two-thirds volo, while in the House tho appropriation of $20,000,000 was made with little or no opposition. As in tho case of the Louisiana pur chase and Alaska, tho opponents 'of tho treaty were in the minority and tho star of hope to an oppressed people was not extinguished. "Tho future of these new posses sions is in the keeping of Congress and Congress is the servant of the people. That they will be retained under the benign sovereignty of the United States, I do not permit my self to doubt. That they will prove a rich and invaluable heritage I feel assured, That Congress will provide for them a government which will bring them blessings which will pro met?! their material interests as well as advanco their people in the path of civilization and intelligence I con fidently believe. They will not be governed as vassals or serfs or slaves -they will bo given a government of liberty, regulated by law, honestly administered without oppressing or exacting taxation without tyranny, justice without bribe ; education without distinction of social condi tions, freedom of religious worship and protection in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Thora is more catarrh in this section of tho country than all o th or diseases put together, and until the last few years it was supposed to bo incurable. For a groat many \ ears doctors pronounced it a local discaso, and prescribed local rem edies, and by constantly failing to euro with local treatment, pronounced it in curable.

Cir cling these ?H a closely woven wreath of oak loaves, long employed to indi cate and adorn rank.

Below them aro tho anns of Vermont, Dewey's nativo State, with tho motto, "Freedom and Unity," and tho colors of tho shield in enamel. Tho plain part, of thc gold collar is decorated with stars and a graceful finish is given to it by a narrow bank of oak leaves.

These sprays aro in terlaced, stars fill tho inner spaces, dolphins the outer spaces.

The New York Journal of a recent date, published the following: "Per haps the only merchant in New York who will keep his storo open on Saturday, the day of thc Dowey land parade, is Charles Broadway Rouss, the millionaire general-wares man, of No. 540 Broadway. New Yorkers, who arc familiar with the eccentricities of Mr. Rouss, will not be surprised at this, and tho facts of his history tend moro to in dicate obedience to a life-time habit of ceaseless industry than the act of a person inspired by contempt for thc hero of Manilla. Mr. Rouss' story has often been told. Ile has a sign hanging in his office relating it. It says-in lan guage spelled according to his idio syncratic habit, phonetically-that ho came to New York ponniless and $51,000 in debt, and tells how any man of to-day may bo tho capitalist of twenty-five years hence, like him self. "I have never taken a holiday," lie says, "Why should any ono else?" So, Mr. Rouss was asked yester day what he intended to do with his great storo on Saturdny, when tho hosts on the heels of Dowey aro marching Broadway. II?; had just returned from Vir ginia. The trip had made him ill. Vor several days he has been lying! on a couch in his office, seeing noth ing, and hearing only tho clink of gold across his counters.

Tho Athens Banner speaks wisely and well when it says : "Broom corn has advanced from $20 to $80 per ton, on account of the scarcity of the supply. Broom corn can bo raised in this section at a very small I cost, especially on bottom lands. There is always a demand for it, at good prices. Our farmers are begin ning to believe in diversified crops, so wo suggest that they add broom corn to their list next year.

South Carolina's game laws aro at present very defective, but tho now association will go to work at once to remedy thc same, and this can only be done by a combined effort on tho part of all the sportsmen of tho State.

A Novel Point. Judgo Gary l?Bt Saturday Bignod an order for bail in the Bum of $1,600 in tho oaso of Henry Ho wawi, charged with murdor, and Howard oxpoots to make thc bond in a few day?.

Wo clip thc following from tho Banks correspondence of the Ches ter Lantern, and ask that our far mer friends in Oconoo givo it a care ful reading: Thero is some excitement through this neighborhood about tho price of cotton, and all who have not sold below 7 cents are in the host of hu mor, and the opinion is that it will still go higher in the near future, which will help out the short crop. Cotton soed aro also high and some of the farmers aro hauling and sell ing their soed already. It seems that the riso in tho prioo of cotton ought to show tho farmers that a| small orop moans good prices. So. ie contend that supply and demand have nothing to do with tho price of any commodity, but it looks like a niuo million halo crop will bring moro money to tho farmer than a twelvo million ono, and if wo oidy had six million bales wc would still get about doublo tho prioo it is bring ing even now, and tho short crop should toaoh thc farmers in this country a lesson. Plant less cotton and raise all tho necessary orops to supply thc family and stock of all kinds on tho farm, and we will soon bo independent, but ns long ns tho people can obtain supplies on credit, so long will they neglect the most important crops to carry on tho farm operations. If tho farmers would raise all their supplies at home, they could get along on one-half tho cot ton they raino and make monoy.

Tho gold is found along the courses of two or three small rivers and their tributary creeks, and also along tho ocpan beach for a distanco of thirty miles, where thousands have boon washing it out of tho sand. It is estimated thal ftl ,f)00,000 worth of tho metal has been taken out during tho past season.
