The brilliant editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, Dr. Henry Waterson, is reported to have said, "I am not as big a fool as I look to be." He should have . '.this explanatory sentence placed under every wood cut of his physiognomy that appears in the ordinary newspaper. ii^vJbhn H. Williamson, one of the lead? ing negro politicians of Raleigh, North Carolina, ex-member of the legislature and editor of the Raleigh Banner, propo? ses to-run for Congress next year on a - unique platform. It contains one plank, : as follows: That Congress provide for the : . payment, at the rate of $300 per head, of ?the?4,000,000 slaves set free by the late war?$200 of this amount to be paid to g? the owner of 'each slave or his heirs, and ? $100 to each freedman, or his heirs. It will take $1,200,000,000 to do this, and Williamson proposes to supply the funds ; by issuing the fund at 2 per cent, fifty? -year bonds to that amount. ?What has the Board of County Com? missioners done in regard to the recom? mendation of our Grand Jury that the County needs a new Court House ? When eighteen citizens of the County time and again?for any number of Grand Juries have made the same recommendation? ^u^tbiB; matter, upon the notice of the improper officials it surely means that the ^people of the County want a new Court .House, and they want it because they need it. The County owes no man a ? cent that it hasn't the money to pay, and the erection of a convenient and more r^commodious Court House would impose t ?va^burden on no taxpayer. Judge With s erspoon said, in commenting on this re ^Co?jnmendation, "I am surprised that the people of Anderson County should toler? ate a Court House so inadequate for the ^purpose for which it was built, and which f fails so much of being in keeping with the reputation of the character, dignity ?? and progress which your people bear in :&eyery part of the State." The State Alliance of Georgia was in '; session last week. President Livingston sesms to be in bad standing with some r. of the members. A member wished to have certain charges alleged against him -J investigated, but this was voted down promptly. The-President, if he is an honest man, should not only be will ^.;ing, but should insist, on an investigation &:pfibpth his official and private acts, where . they can in any way. hear upon his ? .-.character as an Allianceman, when the breath of a suspicion reaches his ears. Such a course .would create faith in his ^integrity in all quarters. In America no ;> rman is too good to be inquired of by the vxpeoplei Gov. Northern, who was elect V.;!?d to his position mainly by the Alliance, ^attended some of the meetings, but was not received cordially. He is opposed to ^Livingston, who is said to be unduly ^controlled by railroad influence. The ^Governor says he "will fight Livingston ; -before-the people, and Livingston will ? have to. make a hard fight to prevent a ^'defeat. Livingston was re elected Presi? dent. There seems to be a pretty bad j split in the Georgia Alliance, and at the head of each faction there are popnlar " .men and effective speakers. Why is . : there so great a lack of nnanimity and ? friendship among many members of the Alliance? Is it men, or measure^ or . bojhrth^give'rise to so much disagree? ment ? ^r^!;':THE SOUTH IS BUILDING UP. ^ All along the line the South is moving steadily and solidly forward. Evidence of this wonderful progress, as far as cot M.. manufacturing is concerned, is set ^jith strikingly in the set of figures given below, comparing the number of spindles in her territory at the present to the number in 1880: 1891. 1880.

In 1880 the total number of spindles in the South was 667,854; and in 1891 she has 2,130,823, or more than three times as many as in 1880. There is much.room for increase yet, however. Should che same increase proportionately take place in the next decade the hum of over 6,000,000 spin? dles will then be heard throughout the South. ' It needs no argument now to prove that cotton factories can succeed in the South. They usually succeed rapidly and sub? stantially. The mill at this place has not been running many months, but it is necessary now to run day and night to meet the orders made upon it. To do this two sets of hands are necessarily employed, and it is not many minutes in 24 hours that the machinery is idle. Every mill established here proves of advantage to the cotton growers, as it of? fers a home market for cotton. It dis? penses with a good many middlemen in one way and another. ^ The South is fast sharing with New England the honor of being a great man? ufacturing-section. Sub-Treasury in Mississippi. ! Jackson, Miss., Aug. 17?George and Walthall now have ninety-three legisla? tive votes, which is three more than they need to secure their election. i Barksdale, the sub-treasury candidate, only has thirty votes. This leaves fifty five votes unaccounted for. It is hardly possible now for Barksdale to have more than fifty-five votes on joint ballot, while . it looks like George and Walthall will have over 120. Sv-The sub-treasury plan has unquestion ably~ieceived its death blow in Missis? sippi. ""TJarksdale on any sound platform would have made a much stronger race. He had much personal popularity and heretofore has never run for any office without making a respectable showing. Counties that have always voted for him beforo repudiated him this time. Clemson College. clemson agricultural college, Fort Hill, S. C, Aug. 19, 1891. Editor the State: I notice an oversight in an editorial quoting from the Kerslam Era, in regard to the standard for admis? sion to Clemson College, which I think you would be glad to have the opportu? nity to correct upon fuller information. No rule of the board of trustees will prevent entrance into Clemson College of the farmer boys or others who have no higher preparation than what might be given by the ordinary country school. Many will have to enter preparatory classes, but these are college classes in everything but grade. The same build? ings and teachers will be used in these as in the so-called college classes. This misunderstanding of the first circular is? sued has been so common, I am only too glad to correct it through the use of your columns, if you will kindly permit me. Being in a position that brings me into frequent conference with the trustees a3 to the plans of the college, lam glad that I am able to bear testimony, to the fact that they are united in the resolution to raise no barrier to the use of the facilities of the college that would exclude any boy who could have reasonable expectation of using those facilities. The second paragraph of the circular, which I en? close you, (and which circular is mailed to ail applicants,) if read with due atten? tion to the last clause, will show that the board did not make the hard rule which many have thought. Very respectfully yours, H. a. Strode. Lancaster Alliance Demands Less Cot? ton.?One Practical Experiment, As will be seen elsewhere the county Alliance has passed a resolution not to plant but ten acres to the mule, horse or ox, in cotton another year. This is one of the best things our Alliance has ever done. It will reduce the acreage of cot? ton in this county fully one-half and will increase the area for corn, wheat, oats, rice, sorghum, potatoes, peanuts, etc., by just that much. We hope that every farmer, whether he is an allianceman or not, will stand by the resolution. If they do they will soon become independent. If there is one who thinks it will not Say, we refer him to Mr. H. J. Thomson, [r. T. resolved a few years ago that he would quit cotton, only as a surplus crop. He reduced his acreage more than the Alliance proposes to. He only plants seven acres to the horse, but he lives at home. He is independent. We were at his home a few weeks ago. It looks like living at his house. 150 bushels of wheat, corn and roughness two years old, ten large fat hogs, fat cows and yearlings in his pasture, fine fields of corn, potatoes and pinders. and only seven acres of cot? ton that looked like it wculd make a bale to the acre. He said that he quit cotton with fear and trembling, but to-day, in? stead of running on a lien for supplies, he is independent The alliance has at last struck the key note to prosperity. It is better late than never. Devote' your time to discussing what to raise and how to raise it. Get the best methods of farming by experi? ment and give your brother alliancemen the benefit of your experience. Do your buying and selling to your best advantage. Keep posted on prices and let politics alone. Legislation will never make the farmer rich. Do this and your order will thrive and you'll become inde? pendent and prosperous.?Lancaster Ledger._ More About the Cotton Acreage. Camdpt, Aug. 22?A mass meeting of the farmers and others interested was held at the court house to day, to discuss the acreage of cotton and the advisabili? ty of decreasing the same. Hon. W. K. Thompson presided, and the meeting was largely attended by representative farmers from all parts of the county. There was a great deal of earnest and enthusiastic discussion, and all seemed imbued with the idea that now was the time for unanimous action looking to decreasing the production of the cotton crop. The following resolutions and mo? tions were adopted: By L. W. Boykin : That we restrict the acreage of cotton to ten acres to the plow for 1892, provided others co-operate with us. Mr. Boykin stated that we must start the matter, and, no doubt, other counties and States would unite with us. By W. F. Eeid: That each member of this meeting endeavor to induce all other cotton planters to plant the same acreage of cotton per plow as has been decided upon by this meeting. By J. F. West: That each Alliance member present bring these resolutions before their respective sub-alliances. By W. D. Brokin: That we meet again on Saturday, September 5, at 12 m., all cotton producers being invited to attend. By George Dixon:' That at the next meeting a delegate from Kershaw be elected to attend the coming Cotton Growers' Convention at Atlanta. By L. W. Boykin: That all counties in the State be invited, through the press, to co-operate with us hi this mat? ter of decreasing the cotton acreage per plow, and in Bending delegates to the Atlanta convention. / As stated above, the meeting was not an Alliance meeting, though, composed mainly of Alliance members.) Lintless Cotton. Spartakb?rg, S. C. Aug. 21?Mr. H. T. Ferguson, of Woodruff, was in the city yesterday. He had with him a stalk of his celebrated lintless cotton, which has attracted so much attention. The stalk contained about 800 bolls, each com? pletely filled with large seed, which, when ripe, are black, resembling much in appearance the seed of sea island cot? ton. Lintless cotton is not a* freak, but an entirely new variety, whose seed repro? duce themselves every year. Mr. Fergu? son has taken much pains to perfect the variety, and this year he will have enough seed to plant the entire State. The estimated yield on average land with moderate cultivation is 400 bushels to the acre. It is as easily gathered as the ordinary cotton, but must be gathered just as the bolls crack, else the seed will drop out. Mr. Ferguson is confident that lintless cotton will revolutionize this country. Four hundred bushels of the seed to the acre is equal to several sacks of guano as a fertilizer, and the cost of raising the 400 bushels is nothing in comparison with the cost of commercial fertilizers. Letters of inquiry regarding the new plant are constantly being received, and Mr. FergUBon expects a large sale of seed. He say3 the yield of oil is about one third more than ordinary seed. He had on exhibition a stalk of cotton which he grafted on a persimmon bush. The leaves of the plant resemble slightly those of the persimmon tree, but bear no fruit. While it is curious, and a fact not generally known, that cotton could be grafted, the discovery is without prac? tical benefit.?Special to Columbia Slate. The Cold wave. Burlington, Ia., August 24.?The most phenomenal cold wave for years is prevailing over southwest Iowa at pres? ent. It came unexpectedly, and was bo sharp that late garden truck had a nar? row escape. The mercury fell from nine? ty degrees in the shade to thirty-five in less than twenty-four hours, and nothing but cloudy weather and heavy winds pre? vented killing frost. Corn in this section is so far advanced that the cold will have little effect on it. Crops in southwest lowland adjoining portions of Illinois and Missouri are unusually large, and there is nothing but long continued rains and an early freeze that can injure them. Farmers are not apprehensive of either. The mercury is now about forty degrees above zero. Milwaukee, Wis., August 24.?The frost last night did great damage to the tobacco and cranberries. Hecedah re? ports that half of the cranberry crop in that district is destroyed, involving great CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Petersburg, Va., Aug. 22.?Jamea Wells and his son sought shelter in a barn during a thunder storm Friday af? ternoon. They had been there but a short time before lightning struck the barn and both were killed. Atlanta, August 20.?The night express train from Macon to-night was held up at CollinB Station by three mask? ed men and the express safe robbed. The highwaymen were heavily armed and secured several packages, making probably $30,000. There is no clue to tho robbers, but officers are in pursuit. Blackstock, August 20.?Sim Rice, a colored well digger, was instantly kill? ed yesterday evening while digging a , well for Jamea Jone;?. He had worked in the well all day, and was about to quit and let another take his place, who was to work all night. As they were drawing up a tub of mud and water, the tub fell back a distance of some thirty five feet, striking him in the head, and killing him instantly. Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 19.?A special from Attalla, Ala., says three children of Steven Armstead, a promi? nent citizen of that place, were drowned late yesterday afternoon. A boy aged ten, and the two girls, aged thirteen and fifteen, went to Big Mills creek, a short distance away. The little boy went in bathing, and after disporting for awhile in the water, he got beyond his depth and was drowned. His sisters, who were playing on the creek bank, a short dis? tance away, heard the cries of their broth* er, and ran to his assistance. He was struggling when they reached the water's edge. Forgetful of personal danger, the little girls plunged into the water to save their brother, and getting beyond their depths, they too were drowned, making three lives. The absence of the children from home was noticed. A search was instituted, and the boy's clothes was found upon the bank. The bodies of the two little girls were fished out last night but the body of the boy was not found until this morning. Wilmington, N. C, Aug. 21.?A re? markable balloon ascension was made yesterday afternoon at Carolina Beach, a summer resort fifteen miles below Wil? mington. Charles Williams, a negro helper to the terouaut, became entangled in the guys to the balloon just as it was ready for the ascent. While struggling to release himself, the balloon suddenly shot upwards, leaving the aeronaut on the ground and carrying the terrified negro to a hight of 5,000 feet. The bal? loon fell a mile away, and it was sup? posed that Williams had been killed, but just before reaching the ground he suc? ceeded in disentangling himself from the ropes and escaped unhurt. Made Bain by Detonation, Midland, Texas, August 19.?Gen. Dyrenforth's parly of rain makers are jubilant to day. The first important ex? periments have met with great success. A rain fell for more than six hours yes? terday, and they declare that it was un? doubtedly caused by the explosion of oxyhydrogen balloons, rackarock powder and dynamite. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon a large balloon was sent up at the C ranch, where the men of science have their headquarters. The ranch is about twenty-five miles from this town. The balloon was sent up about one and a quarter miles and then exploded. It made a report like a severe clap of thun? der. There were only a few white clouds floating in the blue sky at the time, the sun was shining, and any old farmer or mariner would have said that it would not rain in a week. The weather instruments showed that the air was re? markably dry, and the barometer pointed at "fair." Ten minutes after the balloon had dis? appeared in a peal of thunder, kites were set flying, and attached to their tails was dynamite. This was exploded when the kites were high in the air, and then a great quantity of powder, which was scattered over the ground for about two miles, was set off by electricity, this made a noise like a succession of batteries of artillery. The smoke roae in the air for about 200 feet and drifted towards the expert's headquarters. Before it reached there, however, it was driven to the earth by a torrent of rain. The few fleecy clouds had gathered to gether, others had formed, the sky quick? ly had become overcast, and a storm had been created by man's efforts. The ba? rometer began falling ten minutes after the balloon had exploded. The rain was very heavy, and the centre of the storm was over the C ranch. According to re? ports from the ranchmen and employees along the line of the Texas and Pacific Railroad the storm extended over an area of not less than 1,000 square miles. It is hard to get definite reports, and it may have reached further. The noise of the explosion was heard plainly at Midland, and even at ranches forty miles from the scene of the experi? ments. The people thought it was thun? der. At about 7 o'clock this evening several more explosions were heard here.' The experimenters were undoubtedly at work again. The sky became overcast inside of half an hoar and it began to rain at 7.40 o'clock. It looks now as if it would rain all night. This region, as a rule, is very dry, and it is exceedingly unusual to have such rain at this season of the year. The rainmakers are sure that they have stolen the secret of Jupiter Pluviua, and say they can flood this country at an hour's notice. Their greatest experiment, when they will explode a tremendous lot of balloons, kites and dynamite will proba? bly not take place until Friday. The ranchmen and town weather prophets don't believe the storm was made by the rain producers, but Gen. Dyronforth says he will convince the most skeptical in a day or two. A New Move by Alliancemeu. Topeka, Kan., August 21?About one hundred well known Alliancemen and ex Republicans met this afternoon and took steps to bring before the ex-Union soldiers in the Alliance the position which the democrats in the South have assumed towards a new party. It was a novel gathering, controlled by S. B. Bradford, ex-Attorney General, who for the past six weeks has been sending marked copies of Southern Democratic papera to the men in a new party. These papers criticised the existing pension laws and complimented the new party in the South on its adherence to Democratic principles. Gen. Bradford kept all knowledge of the meeting even from the Republican leaders, and made the gathering as far as possible an Alliance conference. The men who were assembled signed an ad? dress in which they called upon all the ex-Republicans in the Alliance to con aider well the situation in the South. ? If everything were equalized on tho 1st day of January, by the first of July everything would bo about as it is now. Some would be riding in buggies, some on horseback; some would bo sitting in the fence corner looking at the procession ?and over and above all would be heard the voice of the leather-lunged reformer who makes an honorable livelihood by the perspiration of his jaw rather than the sweat of his brow, by crying the in? justice of the division of the products of labor, and clamoring for another division. ?J. J. Inyalls. ? A writer in the Auguata. Ga, Chronicle is authority for the statement that a gentleman named T?te, residing in East Tennessee, recently summoned a gathering of abont one hundred Confed? erate soldiers, whom ho'surprised by di? viding $20,000 among them, the amount received being regulated by the necessi? ties in each case. In presenting the money Mr. T?te said it "went against the grain when he saw the other fellows (ex-Union soldiers) travelling up to Knoxville every month and coming away with pockets full of pension money." Mr. T?te served iu the Confederate army uudcr Geu. Forrest, and has amassed a large fortuue niucc the war. ? Officer Railings, of Philadelphia, is said to be the largest policeman in the United States. He is 6 feet 8 inches in height and weighs 340 pounds. ?

The demand for Percheron horses for export is so great that the purity of the breed is seriously threatened, and a stud book has been started in France by which the pedigree may be preserved and the race kept up to the standard. ? The Twentieth century begins on Jan. 1,1901; the First century did not end with tho year 99, but with the year 100; the Second century therefore begau with the year 101, and the Twentieth century begins with the year 1901. ? The period of a generation has been lengthened; it used to be thirty years and later increased to thirty-four; now a scientist says the average term of human life has increased in the last fifty years from thirty-four to forty-two years. ?

Never put wet Shoes by the fire to dry, but dry them gradually and carefully, Never dry a wet Shoe without first applying some oil and grease. Don't allow a thick crust of blacking on your Shoes. Wash it off occasionally and apply a little castor oil; you can polish it over in an hour or two.
