The fact is that iie huill the P.ckem railroad, and any man big enough to build the first railroad into the town •f Pickens is big enough to build the I a lama Canal, or any other old thing. Some time ago he stated as his opin ion that the canal could be dug only by c oitract ; and he amused considerable criticism by his emphatic express!* n of * ais opinion. At that time the Gov ernment was still making the effort t<* begin work on the canal, with freejuto t press announcements from Washing ton as *o what was being done. Mr. Oliver seems to have known what he was talking about, since the announce ment some days ago i hat the Govern ment would finish the work bj con tra t and bids were invited. It will take a big contractor to do the job, the fact is, it will take a combination of several b’g contractors, but Mr. Oli vers friends are saying he is as big con tractor as any one need ask for. .

The truth about the cotton yeild The AugusLa i t,] )ro ttlTHhe producer. President E. D.*Smith.of the Cotton Association, who has just left Colum bia, is emphatic in saying that the crop will never get in sight of 12,000,- 000 bales and that he believes 11,500,- 000 is an o *tside figure. Presiuen. Smith bases his belief on actual obser vation and on what he learns from other presidents and secretaries. “The frost has just r ined Alabama” said he. “There will be an immense failing off in that State. Here is a tel egram from Mississippi saying that the crop will not exceed SoOJOO bales, whereas the Government crop report calls fora million bales “There is the same falling off in ev ery state I have telegraphed, in an swer to official inquiries, say ing that there is no possible chance of the crop reaching anything like twelve million bales. I shall be surprised if itgoesas high as 11,500.000. It certainly will not go beyond that figure. “Twelve cents cotton must come ; 1 would not advise farmers to hold for a higher figure man that, although the pros, ects of getting more is good. “I have j st returned from a visit to Alabam i,” said he, “and the officials there agree with me and have no thought of being mistaken in their es timate of the crop.

Cf Municipal Primary Election ported.’ If the new county of pj e yWard is es tablished, it will simt ly be the crea • ture of the North Augusta Land com pany, and the Augusta Chamber of Commerce. In what way it will benefit the gen eral citizens of the portions of Aiken and Edgefield counties appropriated, has not yet been shown. It has been stated that the Nort h Au gusta Land company will build the courthouse and jail. But what securi ty have the taxpayers that this will be done? When the county is established it will be too late to look for such secu- rry, and the taxpayers may have to put their hands in the'r own pockets for the $30,000 required. And all for the benefit of the lot owners in North Augusta. The election being ordered for Tues day, December 4th, prevents any fur ther registration of voters. Thisseems to have been the intention; and Gov ernor Heyward has not done well in aiding the selfiish schemes of the Jack sonian crowd. with bales and cotton lines th** streets The same condition of affairs is said to exist at Prosperity and Little.

The roads have undoubtedly been having trouble getting cats, and complaints have been made 1)3 T the lumber people as well as the cotton dealers and mills Despite the prevailing price of cot ton and the urgent appeals to them to. hold made by the Southern Cotton as sociation officials the cotton is being put on the market and plenty of it is coining into < olumbin.

It is too low*. With certain need by mills of the world for at least twelve and a half million bales of American cotton, and with the man ufactured produ t in heavy demand at prices based on 12 cents for raw mate rial, there is certainly no reason why a pound of cotton should be sold for less than 11 cents except that it is offered more freely than it is wanted. The ex cess in the offerings above present needs by the mills is bought at the manufacturers’ prices. At this moment such an organization as the Southern Cotton association, ol- fice-ed by wise leaders who had won the confidence of farmers and tin* gen eral public, would be ot infinite benefit to the South. If the Southern cotton g owers were organized and it they had reason to believe the statements of their leaders were based on knowledge of i onditions. they would heed a call to hold their cotton and even a partial check of the How would result in a sub stantial advance YY bat is the actual condition?

It was n >t necessary they should possess a remarkable degree of wisdom to have led the farmers wisely All that was needed was possession of common sense and a spirit of devoli to the cause of the farmers rather than jw wonil interests.

The auditors are also instruct* d to find out who is liable by personal examina tion or otherwise, and turn over the names of those thought to be ! able to the county treasurer.
