The great advance in the prices of provisions of every kind should serve as an object lesson to the farmers in the matter of the alleged contraction of the currency, and show them the folly of much of what is said and written on this subject. The tale has been repeated—with scant regard to facts,—that the depression of the farming interests and market value of agricultural products was owing to contraction of the currency and scar city of money in circulation. The truth is, as is shown in detail elsewhere, there is more money in actu.al circulation In this country to day per head of the population than ever before; and instead of contrac tion having gone on, there has been steady expansion year by year. If the prices of agricultural products have been dependent upon the amount of money in circulation, and have ’ been depressed by its scant supply, whence has arisen the great advance in the prices of all the food crops? Will some alliance propagandists please explain how farmers who have made great grain crops, the greatest on record, can use them to buy dol- lers, and a plenty of them,—more in fact per bushel of grain than in many years,—and with a currency said to be so very contracted? We are afraid that cheap dollars, and a plenty of them, for the North western farmer’s wheat will make dear bread, and very little of it, for the Southern farmer’s family. Kesult of Republican Extravagance. The 4>2 per cent, loan amounting to $53,000,000 falls due on the first of next month, and up to date only $18,- 000,000 has been funded or exchanged for new bonds, leaving nearly $35,- 000,000 outstanding that must be, and doubtless will be, presented for re demption when due. The present stringency of the money market will no doubt invite holders to ask for the cash, and in such an event the treas ury will have to pay or have its prom ises go to protest. The Goyerument income is barely sufficient to meet current expenses and the appropria tions lor pensions and other extrava gant outlays authorized by the last Congress, and if the funding scheme should even partly fail it Is believed that the quarterly pension payments, dun on October 1st, would go by default. This condition of things is the re sult of the extravagance and partisan action of the billion dollar Republi can Congress. When President Cleve land turned the Governmeat ovef"to the Repujdi£im- J parfy there was a "surplus in the treasury; but now, after only two years of Republi can administration, the Government is in a condition that renders it una ble to pay its current obligations. The New Crop. The cotton market was steady yes terday, with middling quoted at 7 15-16 cents in New York, and 7% in Char leston and Augusta. The future mar ket was firmer, with an advance of 10 points under the influence of re ports that worms had appeared in large quantities and were doing dam age in portions of Louisiana, Missis sippi and Texas. The weather was generally very favorable to crop pros pects, frequent showers being regard ed with much favor. The cotton .is beginning to be received very freely at the Southern ports. The Savannah News says: “From the appearance of that com ing into market there will be little poor cotton unless a rainy season sets in and the grades run together. The crop is two weeks late this season, and the question as to how near it will approach that of 1890 is a most interesting one and the returns will be closely watched.” Present Aiken Resources. Col. A. P. Butler, ex-commissioner of agriculture, received at his home in Aiken County, the following letter, which explains itself: Baltimore, August 7, 1891. Col. A. P. Butler, Edgefield, 8. C. My Dear Col.—At the time South Carolina got up her collection for the Southern Exposition you were one of the warmest and most energetic work ers in behalf of South Carolina. Re membering that, I write you to know if our company can get hold of some of the specimens and samples of min erals, woods, agricultural products, fruits, cotton, etc., etc., etc We are getting ready to invest over ten million dollars in the State in a new system of railroads and we want a collection of the State to exhibit in Boston and here, so that we may in duce people to South Carolina to in invest in her lands, etc. Of course we don’t want such a large collec tion as South Carolina had, but would like to have ^a liberal exhibit of her woods, rice, cotton, minerals, etc., etc., etc. Kindiy advise me how I can obtain a part of that collection that will answer the purpose, and oblige. Very truly y’ours. George B. Morton. Vice-President, Etc. Mr. Morton is HMcb-president of the Cape Fear and Cincinnati Railway Company, which has now under con struction lines radiating from South- port on the North Carolina coast to Charleston, Greenville and Gaffney in this State, then through the moun tains from Greenville to Cincinnati, and he Is in a position to be of great service to the state, while serving the interests of his own railway system. This is an opportunity that the people of Aiken County should take advan tage of. A complete collection of the minerals, woods, etc., of the county, with a full description of the farming lands, water pow T ers. and general fa cilities for manufacturing should be made and forwarded to Mr. Morton. This is something that the Aiken Board of Trade can do that will be of some benefit to the town and county. Our Full Barns. Their Sentences Commuted, Governor Tillman, although he em ployed such terrible means to learn the innocence or guilt of David Jacobs and Mary Johnson, the white pris oners, has saved them, as it were, from the very jaws of death. On Monday he took the middle ground, and commuted their death sentences to imprisonment in the penitentiary for life, and so notified the Sheriff of Chesterfield. He bases his action on the great degree of doubt as to the guilt of the parties. He had hereto fore stated that he could only pardon or hang them, but circumstances al ter cases. The Southern farmers will have a good opportunity this fall to test that olive branch of peace offered by the Northwestern Turner, and prove the sincerity qjn^^^Lssure of 'be hands joined in The American Agriculturist says: The farm profits will be one billion dollars more this year in the United States than they have been during re cent years of depression. On the base of the present prospect this authority estimates the corn crop for 1891 at 2,000,000,000 bushels wheat .500,000.000 bushels, and oats 622,009,- 000 bushels, against 1,550,000,000, 400, 000,000, and 524,000,000 bushels re spectively in 1890, and 1,700,000,000, 445,000,000 and 578,000,000 bushels as the average for the preceding eleven years. This makes the total prospec tive crop of corn, wheat and oats 3,- 122,000,000 bushels or 28.8 per cent, greater than last year, 14.7 per cent, over the average of the preceding eleven years. The agriculturist believes that un- les unexpected influences wholly chat ge the current of events the val ue of corn on the farms will average in December fully fifty cents a bush el, wheat one dollar per bushel and and oats at least forty cents. On this basis the value of the corn crop to the farmers will be one billion dollars, wheat $500,000,000 and oats $250,000,- 000 or a total of $1,750,000,000. This is four hundred and fifty million dol lars more than the value of the crops in 1890 and six hundred and twenty- five million dollars more than the value of the average of these crops from 1880 to 1890, inclusive. Cotton and rice will command bet ter prices than last season. Cattle are worth one-third more than eighteen months ago, with other live stock in proportion. Tobacco is advancing heavily for cigar leaf, contracts being made for the crop in the field at an advance of 15.50 per cent, over last year. Hops are firm at good prices. Winter fruit will command large val ues, and all vegetables are yielding fairly, with every indication of re munerative markets. The export out look wa-s never better; immensely in creased sums will be sent to us for our. productions. Ulterior influence may of course intertere with this bril liant prospect, but we confess we are beginning to share more fully the hopes of certain well informed but conservative agriculturists who pre dict better profits for farmers of the United 8tates during the next five years than ever before. Death of Mr. W. M. S. IjCsokhp. First Division Kdiwte' Baptist Asso ciation. al clasp. Cpt- fimners* Money in Tobacco. The following extract from the re port of the state department of agri culture of last week gives food for thought; The weather wasexceptionaly favor able for the growth of the tobacco plant, and it is unusually fine both in quanity and quality, about two thirds of the crop have been harvested. One farmer reports that the yield is about fifteen hundred pounds per acre, and that this class of tobacco sells in the market from 15c to 20c per pound, it is very superior for wrappers, being a bright yellow. This report indicates a product of the remnikable value of about $262 50 per acre, or from seven to eight times as much as that from an acre yielding a bale of cotton. Supported by such facts as have been proven in regard to the profit in the cultivation of tobac co, when carfully and skilfully done our farmers w’ould do well to give the new staple a careful trial. Recently the report was circulated that during the Senatorial contest in the Georgia Legis ature last winter there were eight members who had offered to sell their votes to Mr. Pat Calhoun. The Legislature last week appointed a committee to investigate the report. This committee met on Tuesday and commenced the investi gation, the testimony thus far going to exonerate Mr. Calhouu, and put ting the onus of bribery upon General Gordon's friends instead. on, the jJUlllBln farmers' crop, promises to rule at low prices, owing to large crops; while grain, the North western farmers’^crop, promises to rule high, owing to very short crops In Europe. Now where there is broth erly love there is a willingness for self-sacrifice, and as we have heard a good deal about this fraternal ism, brotherly love, etc., lately, we will look with interest to see where the real “works” will come in, with cot ton at 7 cents a pound and Western flour at $8 and $9 per barrel. The claim that Clemson College should be a college for poor boys going from the farms to learn how to be successful farmers was vehemently urged and constantly kept to the fore front when that institution was being imposed on the tax-payers of the 8tate. But now' it is stated that this plan of making the institution one for farmers’ sons, has been left out of view in organizing the course of stud ies, so that the opinion is expressed by competent and impartial judges, that of the six hundred applicants for admission, scarcely more than one- third will successfully pass the pre liminary examination. Ljiler developments seem to confirm the suspicion that Gov. Tillman’s de lay in sending the reprieve to Jacobs and Johnson was intentional, with the object of extorting confessions, if possible. It was a very cruel deed, wholly unjustifiable, but it is not the first instance of such action in this state, and The Charleston World is mistaken in treating it as such. It is to be hoped however that it will be the last. In Augusta, Ga., last week there were seven deaths among the negroes and not one among the whites. This is remarkable, when it is borne in mind that the population is composed of half negroes and half whites. But it must also be recollected that this is watermelon season, and with water melons at two fora half-dime, negroes can make plenty of work for the grave-diggers. Mrs. James K. Polk, widow of the tenth President of the United States, died at her home in Nashville, Tenn., on the 14th inst., in the 88th year of her age. In “Our Dumb Animals,” the pub lication of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, we find the following: “To muzzle dogs, particularly in warm weather when fleas abound, is about as cruel as to strip a man of every thing hut his tronsers, tie his hands behind him and then turn him out to fight fleas, mosquitoes and other in sects. Add to this the abuse always inflicted by hoodlums on muzzled dogs, and if they do not go mad it is a wonder.” You never tried De Witt’s Little Early Risers for constipation, bilious ness, sick headache or you would not have these diseases. Sold by W. J. Rlatt.s. Mr. W. M. S. Lesesue, the treasurer of Charleston County died at his home in Charleston on Saturday morning last after a few hours illness. It seems that on Friday night Mr. Lesesue was seized with cholera mor bus, and suffered greatly from what was considered only a temporary at tack, not even requiring the attend ance of a physician. Saturday morn- he was feeling better and got up, but soon returned to bed. About 10 o’clock he was seized with a convul sion. The family, for the first time, feeling alarm, sent for a physician. Both Drs. Ravenel and Kellers promply responded; but before they could reach the residence, Mr. Le- sesne had expired. His funeral ser vices were performed at St. Philips Church on Sunday’ morning.

The Coos a w" Case. Charles srofi'^V oriel. The status of the Cbosaw case since the filing of the opinions of Judges Fuller and Simonto[n has not been generally understood. There is no "H * hurry about enter! if the would the opinions rendered ? case was at*, a 1 admit of it, {Be ) in ions of the jpd( red. but no final d< an appeal even stage which But so far only idges have been degree has been rendered in the case. Until such final degree, there can be no appeal. The decree, of cou rse, follows the opinions and will be in the favor of the State, it wdll probably be filed shortly. After the:i!i»gof the final decree the Coosaw company, under the United States law’, has two years within which to enter an appeal to the supreme cou-t. It is possible that the company \jvi(l take its time in the matter. Winding up the Coosaw Case. H. A. M. Smith, of Charleston, and Attorney General Pope on Tuesday presented to Judge Simonton, for sig nature, the final order in the Coosaw case. The order, except a few min Makes the Weak Strong The marked benefit ’irhich people in run down or weakened stite of health derive from Hood’s SarsaparilL i, conclusively proves the claim that this medic/lne “ makes the weak strong.” It does not Let like a stimulant, imparting fictitious strei gth from which there must follow a reaction of greater weakness than before, but in tho most natural way Hood’s Sarsaparilla ovei comes that tired feel ing, creates an appetit s, purifies the blood, and, in short, gives ; jreat bodily, nerve, mental and digestive st rength. Faggecjl Out “ Last spring I was Completely fagged out. My strength left me ajsd I felt sick and mis erable all the time, tio that I could hardly attend to my business.

U. R. Brooks is discharged as receiver and compensation fixed for his service. C Big Fire in Jacksonville, Fla. The most disastrous fire in the his tory of Jacksonville, Fla., occured early Wednesday morning, causing a distruction of property valued at over $800,000, on which the aggregate in surance was about $500,000. The fire was in the business portion of the city, and destroyed among other buildings Knight’s crockery store, the Hubbard block, the Seminole block, the Smith building, the Mattier house, the Freedman’s bank building, the Tre- mont hotel, the Hotel Piacide the Ritzewoller residence, the Chelsea house the Slager residence, St. Jo seph’s academy the Tilton house, McMurray & Baker carriage reposito ry, and nearly all the buildings from and including Simmons & Scott’s shoe store to and including Lloyd Bro’s grocery store on the corner of Church and Main streets.
