Whe ther or not he might be successful In the race, the fact of his entering the cont.'st. would deprive the Stato of one of the best Governors we have over had. The State can ill afford to lose him from the Gubernatorial chair just now. Ho has made a good start, and a soeond term in tho office would mean ono of great usefulness to the people. We say this, not be cause we would not like to see Mr. Ansel don the Senatorial toga, but because-we feel that he can better serve the people of South Carolina as Governor than as Senator. Then, too, there is time enough in the futuro for the contest for the Senatorship, while, on the other hand, his services ure needed now to completo the good work already begun as Governor. We have watched with no small degree of interest for his promised decision in the matter, and while we have watched we have hoped that he will decide to remain in the Gubernato rial chair. There is a peculiar de mand for him in that he can botter complete the work he has begun than could a new man. Mr. Ansel is need ed for a second term. We can then talk of the Senatorial prospects. -TRULY REPREHENSIBLE.' The Snturdny Evening Post, speak ing editorially of the recent money panic in Wall street and its effects in other parts of the country, in looking In vain for a remedy for the evil, turns on the farmers of the South with this: "We must depend principally upon cotton, which Europe will buy in great quantities, and which runs into money very fast, to overcome this menace and turn the tide our way. That, in view of such a public need, planters should hold cotton for mere ly personal gain ls truly reprehensi ble. We read that the banks gene rally will keep them in the path of duty by refusing to extend loans on stored cotton." "Truly reprehensible" are the far mers of the South for daring to hold their cotton for a paying mice, or, as the Saturday Evening Post sees it, for "merely personal gain." Grant ing that tho holding of cotton for a better pri?e caused the panic, would the farmers be so particularly "rep rehensible" for holding it? Whose cotton is it? Does it belong to Wall street, and are the fanners holding back something thal belongs to oth ers, In order to get ..merely personal gain" before they turn it over to its rightful owners? Did the Wall street sharks plant lt, work it, pick lt. gin it. bale it. and then did the "truly reprehensible" farmers of the South take it from ther1 and hold lt for "merely personal gain"? lt ls the same old cry that the Wall street sharks and their cohorts have ever made when tho producer falls to cringe and crawl at their fe t and ask permission to dispose of their products at whatever price the sharks are disposed to offer. The fact of tho matter is that the farmers of the South aro just emerging from a con dition most "truly reprehensible"-a condition that permitted of tho pro ducer selling Iiis product for what ever the exchange gambler might see lit tu ' give" him for it. A sorry pic ture that of the Southern farmer laboring day after day to produce the staple "which Ku ropo will buy in great quant it les. and which runs into money very fast," then looking to the New York cotton speculator to tell )iim what his product is worth! "Truly reprehensible." And yet that ls the exact condition of affairs that has obtained for years past. For tunately the farmers of the South have at last taken lt upon themselves to secure a fair proportion of the millions that have annually gone to pay tributo to the "legalized rob bers" of Wall street, otherwise known as "financiers." These "financiers" have met with a stronger front in the ranks of the Southern farmers than usual, and there ls whore the rub comes in. Their opportunity to fleece the pro ducer is cut to a minimum, and hene? thc howl. Hence, also, to a great extent, the money panic that was Intended primarily to force on the market the "cotton, which Eu ropo will buy In great quantities, and which runs Into money very fast." Let the farinera of the South keep a finn bold on the rudder lu steering their boat through the "reprehensi ble" waters they have entered in mukiiiK their fight for self-preserva tion, and the sharks will be sunk far beneath them, and the producers will land masters of the port. Seneca Farm and Factory knows a good thing when lt rees lt. On the second page of this issue will be found a resume of the newspaper field in Oconee-one that we feel to be quite correct, though modesty for bade our saying so until compelled to do so in thanking our Seneca con temporary for making the utterance. Farm and Factory is noted for "8peakin' out in meetln'," be its words complimentary or otherwise, and has made for itself a name that is rarely attained by one so young. Congratulations on your attainments, friend! _ THE ORPHANS' THANKSGIVING. Dr. Jacobs, of ?he Thornwell Or phanage, Clinton, S. C., writes: "A little child alone in the world, Ita bright, black eyes filled with tears, came to me, held by the hand of a good woman. Only five years old, fatherless, motherless, she finds herself after a long rldo on the cars, under the care of a friendly traveler, at the door of the orphanage. But, poor little thing, she knows nothing or. where sho ls, does not even know the place from which she came; she has her name written on a slip of paper as an Introduction to the kind friends who are hereafter to care for her. She brings a little package un der her arms-it is her all of world ly goods. So lt was only a few weeks ago, but now how different. Tears are dried. She is opening her bright eyes to the lessons that come to her dally. Falling Into the routine of ohapel aud school and dinner and play, she is waking up, her young soul is speaking through Ups and fingers and feet and dimpled cheek. "Some one now loves the little girl. Some one puts her to sleep at night after her lips have whispered "Our Father." She is finding a home, she ls finding herself, she will some day lind God." This little child was welcomed to the loving care of the Thornwoll Or phanage. Every one of the 2T>0 chil dren In the school of that institution have bad moro or less of the same experience, lt ls true that between them and grim necessity, there ls to day a strong wall of defense. Dut the people who love God and little children are that wall. The orphan age ls under Presbyterian control, but ls for all orphans. It turns none away because of Its father's faith. There are 158 orphans from South Carolina under Its care, 02 from Georgia, 1 ? from Florida and the rest from ten other Southern States. Not one has a living father.
