A WORD VOX TBX TAXXXRR KRRP TOUR IYUOFIN AND DON'T LET TDK TRUST GET TOU BT THE THROAT. To tbo Farmers of tbe State; There is a general movement on foot, in whioh tiuaibora of jonr boot representatives are taking an active part, looking to tbe erection of eotton seed oil mills in tain, and it is also oertain that, if you will support them, tbej will work to jonr immediate good and benefit. It is probable that trusts and combinrtions will attempt to throttle them; but those of you who, directlj or indirectly lend your aid to suoh efforts, would seem to be working against tbe best interests of yourselves and your people. Should tbe laree mills offer you a few cent* more per bushel for your seed, the offer will be made aud the price given only for the purpose of bringing matters to that point whero they will control the market and force you to their terms. Will you then twist the rope to bo used at your ewn hanging? The local mills give you immediately the benefit of prices on the spot for 1 seed which you have previously paid ' with freight added to the warehouses ' of mills at a distance; en cotton seed 1 meal they will give you the same price * in your town which you have previously , Tin 1 ft it ?Vi? ' ?u? nnivuuuooo Ul IUU mills. Id addition to these advantages a large amount of money which have ' been going away from your towns and ' the State is kept at home and in circulation. It is not the makinc in snd J withdrawing of money from a cotnmun- < ity which makes it prosperous, but it ' is the making and the spending of money there which accomplished this result. It will take a short-sighted policy on J the part of any of our number, for the 1 sake of a few extra dollars per crop, and < only for the single crop if competition 1 with the large mills can bo crushed by < their methods, to relinquish the positive advantages alluded to above. To those who think seriously on this subject it 1 must appear as one of the greatest dan- 1 gcrs ahead of these important local en- ' terprises that they may not be supported ' by those very persons whom they cal- { culated most to benefit. Ilcwaro of the * promptings of cupidity in what at most 1 can be but email temporary gain, at the expenso of your lasting prosperity. Feed jour borne mills first with all the seed ' they can consume at the prices the large 1 mills paid last year, and then sell the < surplus to the latter. 1 Some of the small mills have put in j the beat and most improved machinery some of it better than any ever used pre- t viously in any of the large mills, and < with your co-operation with them for I your mutual benefit, they will succeed and you will bo profited thereby.

Jr. 1 A Good Example.?Ono of the prominent addresses delivered during 1 tho commencement exercises of the Gaff- ( ney City male and Female Seminary, 1 was that by Mr. McGowan, a rising young < lawyer of Uoiod, S. C. Tho speaker ? was taught in this school from which t he entered the South Carolina University s wncrw lie cuuijiioicu a tcguiai vuuisa. ? The action of ibe faculty and students ( of the Seminary at Gaffney City in bringing back to their balla a former stu- , dent, to deliver ono of the leading ad- i dresses, is worthy of commendation. ? Too many institutions of learning wait b lor ihcis graduates to become famous b away from from home, beforo they rc- G ceite any special attention or honor from their Alma Mater. But the young ^ speaker and his speech constituted the (< giod example wc desire to mention. Mr. McGowan's discourse was manly, origi- f' 0&1, logical, and an exponent of a large >> class of the young men now coming to m tho front all over the South. The speaker outlined rt least threo great questions yet to be settled by the present genera- a tion: The negro question, protection, and common school Kduottioo. ''Though a South Carolinian, educated in her 111 University, which was tho cradle of Free tc Trade and Secession." said the speaker, pi 1 am not a free trader. By this I do G sot mean to assert that I am a protec- V tiooist. My observations and coovic- B lions incline me in that direction." lie argued that protection at the North was b< adopted to foster manufacturing enter- co prises while the South were mere conBurners. It paid and is paying the North. m On like principles it will pay the South, bt since she has gone into manufacturing, he It is a hopeful sigu to see youug men 'u of the South following their own reason- Ij< ing powers, adapting themselves to the age ia which they live, and having Fi boldness enough to break away from U y antiquated lines of thought, asseit their own individual convictiou of rolioy and duty. Sc In urging his fellow members on to at will a: d do, io life's work, the speaker Pr said: ''What part in the great drama !' Uf? *U?dl you nud I tako? Shall it be ob the front of the stage, receiving the at applaud of out follow men; or shall ii be en the hack ground, simply shilling the scones and showing other man's great- ?r ness."?Cor.
