V; Atlanta is booming her cotton exposi? tion, which is to be held next fall, with a vigor and energy that deserves success. Honry Herbert Evans, of Newberry, has declared himself a candidate for Con? gress in this (tha Third,) Cougresaional District The Southern Railway has set aukie a certain sum for the promotion of snail industries along the several lines In the .now system. _ Rainbow chasing seems to have become the principal occupation of the Republi? can bosses. Think of the claim that North Carolina will send a Republican to the Senat?. It is suggested that South Carolina substitute sujrar beet raising for cotton. We would be more thin pleased to see it tried and prove a success, for wo need something ta, decrease the cot ion crop. Politics, flo-hope, will be at rest for awhile in this section. Let every man resolve to fjay.no more on ?be subject, aid gotowprk with a determination to dp some good for himself and for his neighbors. Here Is another. evidence of the benefit to be derived from uuing printer's ink: A lady in Atlanta, two years ago, adver? tised watermelon seeds, of a choice varie C- ty for'sale, and through correspondence relating to this business won ii husband1. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, Is confi? dent that the an ?-trust section of the tar? iff law, of which ho is tbe author, Is suf? ficiently ntnngent to break up every trust dealing in Imported articles. It u a pity that we havn't a law equally stringent to deal with, all trusts. /? Senator David B. Hill was. unanimous? ly nominated for Governor t>y the New York Democratic Convention last week. He is no donu*. the mostpopular man in his State, and one of the ablest in the United States, as well as one of the .?bro wdest politicians. Several farmers in Northern Texas have been indicted for combining to keep np the price of c?ttonseod, and Attorney General CoJbefson in preparing to bring suit agaicst certain cotton seed oil mills for violation of the anti-trust law by combining to keep the prioe of seed down. Tbl* will be an interesting suit. Ex-President Hnxison will not take the vigorous pari in"thoRepublican cam? paign that some of his friends anticipated. ]Ho has announced t'iat he will make no speeches outside of his own State, and ; will only make two short speeches In In-, diana. Little Benniehardly knows what 'to do except that he would like to run for j President again, -;-, M.?mm, Samuel E.JHorse,; the Consul General at Paris, has sent to the State Department Washington an abstract of the official report on the wheat.orop In Franco for 1894. It is estimated by the French sta? tisticians, 3ay a Mr. Morae, that the crops of 1894 throughout the world will be 35 par cent, in excess c f the world's demand for consumption and soed. Senator Ransom , makes this point in ^discussing the new tariff law: "There are 1,700,000 people in North (Carolins. At least 400,000 of these have accounts at stores. The average yearly store ac? count is about $100. Take off of each of ihese 400,000 accounts 25 per cent. This means a waving to North Carolinians of 110,000,000 per year ; one million moro : than the cotton crop is worth; twice as much as the tobacco crop. This means much more than an increase of the mon? ey per capita to 850. It saves the money in the pockets of the people." Every qnab>vu voter in the State will have the privilege 0f voting in the No? vember election on the culling of a Con? stitutional Convention. There is no great - necessity for such a Convention. When a, strong partisan spirit prevails it would be unsafe to let either faction finker with a Constitution that; is carrying us along j ., safely, especially when the people are '. not to be given an opportunity to ratify it. A 'Constitutional Convention will cost the State irom ?50,000 to $100,000, ac cordirg to the time It remains In session, and the quantity of printing thai may bo required.*- If there are any changes in the Constitution needed, let us follow the example of Georgia In her elootlon. to-day, where seven amendments are being sub? mitted to the people at the ballot box. The changes.in the Constitution this way costs very little. Let well enough alone and vote against the Convention. The Chattanooga Tradesman, in Its quarterly report for the three months ending September SQtb," 1894, of the new industries established -in the Southern States, reports 520 lndustrles,incorporated and organized in the South for the period named, against 454 In the third quarter of 1893 ; 597Jn third quarter ol 1892, and 759. in the third quarter of 1891. It shows, says the Tradesman, that tbe worst peri? od of depression occurred in the summer of 1893, and that there has been a distinct recovery, which is daily becoming more marked. Inthe aggregate of new indus? tries in the quarter just ended, Texas leads with 64, Georgia Is second with 55, North Carolina third with 47, Virginia45, Alabama and Florida each 44, Tennessee 42, Arkansas ?S, Louisiana 36, Kentucky and West Virginia each 32, Mississippi 24, South Carolina 17. The most noticea? ble feature of the compilation, says the Tradesman, is tbe tailing off in compa? nies of a speculative nature, and the steady increase in Industries of a more useful character.

De announces Bttniteir a Tull-Flrdgi <1 Candidate. Columbia, S. C, September 29.?The political contests in which Democrats are now interested are for the Congressmen from Sonth Carolina. The Republicans have centred their fire and energies on capturing just as many Congressmen as possible. The Executive Committee has swougly advised that a Republican nomi? nee be placed in the field in every Dis? trict. It seems pretty clear that the Re? publicans hope to secure control of the next House of Representatives, and the orders have been that candidates should be ron in every District, and as much material as possible should be collected for the probable contest Special orders have been issued that a record should bo kept of every citizen who was debarred from voting on account of the registration laws. Up to this time the Democrats have concentrated their thoughts on the State ticket, and it may be as well to work a little for the Congressional candidates. The Irby Executive Committee was loaded for a possible opposition ticket and it may be able to do some good for the regularly nominated Congressmen. Up to :;his time the Republican "slate" has not yet been completed, bnt as it now stands it looks like this: First District?Democrat, William El? liott; Republican, Geo. W. Murray. Second District?Democrat, W. J. Tal bert; Republican, H. Dickerson. Third District?"Democrat," A. C. Latimer; Republican, Robert Moorman. H. H. Evans is running as a Democrat. Fourth District?Democrat, Stanyarne Wilson; Republican, Lawson D. Melton. Fifth District?"Democrat,"T. J. Strait; Republican, C. J. Pride. Col. W. R. Da vleis running as a "True" Democrat. Sixth District?Democrat, John R. Mc Lanrin; Republican, hot vet named. Seventh, District?"Democrat," J. Wil? liam Stokes; Republican, E M. Brayton, contested by Col. T. B. Johnston. In two of the districts, the 1st and 7th, the Republicans have an idea that they can win at the polls. With anything like the nsutd work the Republican candidates in both of these districts can be easily defeated?. Dr. Sa mpson Pope has been in the city several days looking after his political fences. To-night he IsEiued an address to the people of the Stato which, he says, fully presents the platform upon which he expocts to win or meet defeat. The address Is as follows : To the Democratic voters of South Car-1 olina: As there are some persons who seem to think because I withdrew from ? two primaries that I will not rnn the race for Governor to the finish, I desire to say that my withdrawal from the primaries was'to checkmate the ring, who thought they had me in a position to tie my hands, ana to put myself in a position to run at j the general election. I pledge my friends my word of honor, if life :.s spared me, that I will run the race to the finish. i In making the race I am fighting a ring rule more despotic in character than : Tammany itself; a ring whose existence is ackhowledged by Editor Gantteven in the last issue of bis paper; a ring that threatens to destroy not only the Reform ] Movemeqt, but the Democratic party as well; a ring, the members of which laugh in their sleeves at their power to fool the people, not only out of the offices, bnt also in so shaping the platform that J none can understand playing the role of tricksters; a ring that is using the ma- I chlnery of the dispensary to perpetuate themselves in "power,; even through blood; the blood of the citizens of the State shall be spilled to carry ont their I j designs for perpetuation in power. 1 Peace is preached at the laying of the I corner-stone of the Winthrop College at ( [.Bock Hill. The opposite is hnrled in the teeth of the citizens of Colombia, after the primary. I Yon can have no peace until y,o? de stroy the power of these people, and un- j til you strike the dispensary law from the statute book, for it Is a vast political machine, and has been used in some Counties, if not m all, as such, and I predic; will be used at the general eleb-1 tlon. Then let us join hands and fight ring' rule, the dispensary and the Constitution? al Convention, unless.the Constitution to be formulated is to be submitted to the people for ratification. - Let past differences be forgotten in this struggle for the rights and the liberty of the people. To accomplish anything you must not only elect a Governor, but a Legislature as well. In tbns joining hands for the I ? ;ghts and for good government history I as bnt repeating itself. More than once our forefathers of opposing factions in Engl a ad came together by force of cir cuinstances,, threw, off an odious yoke and restored civil liberty, and with it the rights and liberty of her citizens.. While wo mr.y disagree on many minor points, lot us agree and agree quickly on matters 1 of vilai issuo to the people at large. I Fraud vitiates elections as It. does every? thing elBe. Men voting at the general primary were many of them made to be-1 lieve that they must vote the whole tick-1 I et or their ticket would not count; tick- j ets wem counted for the electoral ticket where the names had been crossed out. The oath prescribed by statute was also added. j I These and many other frauds were I committed which vitiated the whole I I election, and made the voter free to vote as be pleased at the general election.. Every man is the keeper of his own | conscience; he has no master on earth to J fix his conscience and say what be shall I or shall not do. A general primary in 1890 is called for in the new. Constitution, put there to try and satisfy the unrest. Another Conven- I tlon may be called before that time-to change back to the old plan/ . You have no assurance that it will not be called. The lime Is short between now and the general election. Organize for success and see to it that there-is a free ballot and fair connt. Respectfully, j Sampson Pope.

One Tear's Drinks Washington, September 25.?Ameri? cans are accounted a fairly sober people in the hurly burly of nations, bnt the fig? ures of the internal revenue com mission? ner for the past year are enongh to make a temperance crank stagger without a drop of whiskey or beer. The preacher, who por?ses them, will hie him to the pulpit and tell bis congregation what a nation of drunkards we are, stupefied with drink half the year and drugged with tobacco the other half. That each year we squander upon these inventions of Bolzebu b tnree times at much money as is required to keep this great govern? ment in operation, and more than is rep? resented by the circulating medium of the United States. And when the preach? er goes to throwing moral bombs he can load them with interesting, if not as? tounding, facts, if he so chooses. We distilled last year 87,364,884 Gallons of liquor, not including 1,430,353 gallons of brandy, making in all 88,777,187 gallons of alcoholic spirits. Expert bartenders estimate 63 drinks to the gallon. There? fore there were 5,604,062,891 drinks pro? duced in this country. A conservative estimate of how much was imbibed across counters is about 37.0CO,000 gallons of whiskey, brandy and other distilled spirits, or in other words we drank 6,090,000,000 glasses of whiskey, for which we paid over the bar $609,000',000, or $5,000,000 more than all of the annual appropriations of Congress combined. This represents a consumption of 100 glasses of whiskey each year for every woman and child between the rock bound Paoifio and the storm-tossed At? lantic, or counting only the male adults, 500 glasses per week each. Of beer the figures are equally astound? ing. The consumption' was 31,9C2,942 barrels; that is 19,785,169,200 glasses ; representing an expenditure for this mode of teutonic hilarity of $617,258,460, or about ten cents for eaoh inhabitant. In the neighborhood of 220 glasses are charged op in this calculation against each of us as our annual allowance, therefore if we do not average our daily ?lass we may be sure that our neighb? ors are getting the benefit of our absti? nence. By estimating this year's internal reve? nue receipts from spirits on the basis of last year's product with the increased tax of ?1.10 per gallon, the internal reve? nue receipts will be f97,674,905. ? Three canneries at Milford, Del., are packing 80,000 cans of tomatoes per day, and three at Frederica are packing 75.000 per dav, while many smaller canned as all over the State and peninsular are busy with tomatoes. Meanwhile a farmer in Kent County, Md., received recently, for 100 baskets of tomatoes shipped to Balti? more, $4.43. The baskets-alone cost him four cents each.

The attempted disseverance between business and religion tinds counterpart in the entire separation, it would seem, be? tween religion and politics. Men who are altogether moral and without re? proach in business and social life encour? age and participate in political methods whoso dishonesty and immorality aro open to the world. Partisanship has gone so far that principle has ceased to be the rule of party government, and policy is alone the test of political measures. The false motto, "all is fair in war," has, by the strikingly correct analogy of war with statecraft, as now practiced, come to be the regulating principle of politics. The old idea that "righteousness exalteth a people" has grown obsolete and inap? plicable to our sharp practice. Instead, we have tacitly given in to the practical theory that "chicanery exalteth a party." The evidences of general political de? bauchery are manifold; they meet us everywhere, North and South, in Con? ventions, Legislatures, municipal meet? ings, and in all elections from town? ship to national. No one denies that cor? ruption and fraud are so general in all departments of political management as to make parity and honesty the excep? tion, growing over more exceptional. Tbe very children know the stories of bribery and intimidation and corruption that characterize elections and canvasses. Men have come to iegard such things as a matter of course. Good men, pious men, Sunday School Superintendents, Elders in the Church, ministers them? selves, wink at abuses and abominations such as called out the stinging denuncia? tions of the old prophets against Israel and her enemies,'and drove the chosen people into captivity. "Be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sowoth, that shall he also reap." We are reaping. Our wind is growing to be a whirlwind. We are likely to garner a harvest of public rain and private corruption. The first ripen? ing sheaves of this vicious cyclone, so to speak, are giving us bills to enrich the rich and impoverish tbe poor, to give Sower to money and crush poverty un er its feet, to perpetuate the power of {>arties at the expense of liberty, to en arge the rule of king alcohol to the deso? lation of homes and hearts and the ener? vation and debauchery of the race. Worse than that, the leaven of our public evil methods croops insidionaly into private life, and conscience accepts the iron bound logical conclusion that, if public fraud and cheating be winked at, private theft and iniquity must be condoned and pardoned. FalstafFs reasoning is gettiag to be our serious argument. If Adam sinned in his innocency, much more Jack Falstaff in his depravity. It is vain to hope that men may be corporatoly vile and personally upright! We have sought to divide up moral responsibility among a mob till the values should be mfinites Bimal of evil and shame ,* we have sim? ply multiplied the seeds of vice and made each responsible for the sin of all ! We have tried hard to make legality tbe test of moral responsibility; to excuse all ac? tions not indictable by grand juries and actionable under statute. It cannot be! True, the corporation has no soul, but corporators may be damned; the mob is irresponsible, and parties are mobs, but for all that God will bring the individuals of a mob to judgment. Man may not dare to do in the multitude what he would hesitate to do alone. When we learn this we will begin to purify our business and political life. - What shall the Christian man do in snch times and circumstances as these? Can he be in doubt a moment! Caesar's to Csssar and God's to God; but never Caspar's without reference to God. Reli? gion has to do with all things, more espe? cially with the most important things, and the one thing most important to our life now is politics, with all it means, for It is over-shadowing and all-embracing. It is tbe most potent channel of influence in modern life, and concerns all human Interests as no other one agency does. It sadly needs reformation, and that refor? mation must come from tbe awakening of Christians to their responsibilities as Christian Citizens. Let us be done with fighting tbe devil with fire; it is his na? tive element; he loves the conflict and will always win. We must meet him with that shield that quenches his fiery darts. Christ's method of honesty and purity and truth is the only one that can drive tbe devil out of politics. It is time for Christians to apply it fearlessly and fully without fear of the party lash; without reference to party gain or loss. "Ab," says tbo devout reader, "this is what the Church needs; just such edito? rials as this are the things to give to the people 1" So he reads it to his family and comments piously on it, and the next November stuffs a ballot box or bnys a voter, or sells one in some form; and hurrahs when hib party gets into power, and bows his devout head in the Churoh, thanking the God of righteousness and truth that peace and prosperity are vouch? safed to our favored laud | W. A Singular Will. Memphis, Tenn., September 30.?A week ago Moses H. Katzenberger, one of the leading representatives of the Hebrew race in tbe South and president of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, of Memphis, died in this city. Yesterday his will, covering many hundred thousand dol? lars' worth of property, was filed for pro? bate and it proves a remarkable docu? ment. The testator displays tbo utmost liberality in bequests to relatives, ser? vants and public institutions. One be auest is to .tbe new Memphis Jockey tub, it being cash for a stake to be con? tested for each year, to b9 known as tbe Katzenberger memorial stake, to be run for as long as there is a racing association in this country. The will says: "Should there be a boy born to either of my sisters-in-law, Cora and L^zie, and I hope there will be, then such male issue is to tike share and share alike of all my fishing rods and tackle, except a line and a few hooks, to be buried with me in order that if there is any fishing in the other world I will be provided with tackle to enjoy tbo sport which has furnished me much delight in tbe present mode of exis tence," The will concludes: "In reference to my own burial, I desire that there be no religious rites or ceremonies, but that these be conduoted by my loving friends in such a way as they deem proper, and I further direct that the formality of in? terring a Bible with tbe body be dis? pensed with in my case." A Lamentable Accident. Blocton, Ala., Sept, 30.?Mr3. Mancy Wilson, with lamp in band, went to look at her sleeping grandchildren in their crib last night. The lamp ignited a mos? quito bar hanging over the bed and the bar fell burning upon her and the chil? dren. James Deveraux, her son-in-law, went to the assistance of tbe croup, and was badly burned, possibly fatally. Mrs. Wilson Inhaled theflame and died soon after. Her 2-year-old child was also burned to death. ?

Chicago, III., September 28.?"Jack the Whipper" has broken loose, and is making life full of terror to tbe female bicyclists who ride in Washington Park during the evening. Jack has a frantic aversion to bloomers, and his method of expressing his disapproval is to plant a few lusty welts with a ramhide whip on every pair of bloomers that he can find with a girl inside them. His plan for the last two nights has been to wait behind a tree until a bicycle with bloomers comes along, then be springs out and plies the rawhide vigo? rously. He has severely whipped two young women andpursued several others. The park policemen have so far been un? able to catch him. ? A Florida man has an alligator that does the duty of a yard dog.

Editobs Intelligences : For a long time I have contemplated a visit to your County, and about the 1st of August I "put my house in order" and started out to test for myself, the proverbial hospi? tality of your people. To be brief, I went, I saw, and, like Sheba's Qneen of old, I am constrained to exclaim "the half was not told to me," for a more open-hearted, generous people I never met. Every effort to make my stay pleasant was ex? tended, and in such manner as to create the feeling that thing* were just what they seemed. I em glad to cbronicle the promise of an abnndant bread harvest, and predict that tbe cribs will have all they can do to hold the product of the turning fields. The fork between Tngalo and Seacos, where I spent my spare time, ia one of tbe favored spots in old South Caro? lina. Along side of the manly men I found some of tbe most womanly women that I have ever met. One tbiog struck me with much force: I never heard a child cry, and, still more wonderful in this degenerate time, I didn't bear a single oath uttered during my stay. Surely you must bave a blessed County. Thirty-six years ago I passed through your city and wish to record my testimony of the improvement that has taken place in that time. So great has been the change that I can say tbat the site is about all that remaios unchanged. You will allow me to epeak a good word for some of the Newberry boys that have cast their lot amoog your people, notablo among whom is Dr. Silas Heller. I bave known him from-childhood, and the same smile tbat I often bave seen on bis face as be was stepping off the light fantastio to tbe notes of my vioiia, when be was but a boy, was on his face when he met me? his boyhood's friend?with bis spanking turnout and proceeded to do the civilities in a style that warmed the old man's heart, The AndersoD boys must not think hard of Silas when be Deals them gunning, for "he's just built that way," and can't help it, and I'm told tbat he shoots as straight at disease as he does at the game tbat is to plentiful in the "Fork." I'm sorry that I did not have time to Fee all of my rela? tives, as my time was somewhat limited; but I promise myself a repetition of my visit in the near future, when I shall surely gauge my time so* as to permit mo to see them all. I was so well pleased that I came home and sent my daughter, so that she might experience some of the courtesies of which I had told her, ard judging from tbe tenor of ber Utters borne t>he will be able to con? firm all of my reports on her return home. It is just such deeds of kindness as these that make up tbe portion of Ufa (but is bast worth living, and I hrpa tbat 1 will have an opportunity to returu theaa kind nesses to both of us. at no distant day in the future.

If you hear that Minor intends show? ing even a larger Stock than ever before, never doubt it. If you hear it whispered that Minor's razor ia making lots of deep cuts for your benefit, never doubt it If you hear tbat somebody has been parading around, un?er a big name but doing some small things, never doubt it. But if you hear that the Ten Cent Store' is doing some big things under a very lit? tle name never doubt it. If you hear that somebody is selling Britches at 30c per pair, never doubt it If you see an article worth 25c. bought for 10c, never doubt it. If yon hear talk of now tariff figures on Toys. Chinaware and all imported goods, never doubt them. If you hear that the Ten Cent Store is alwa3U up to da*e, and sometimes a whole year ahead, never doubt it. If you are informed tbat money turns over oltener at the Ten Cent Store than at some other places in town, never doubt it. If, on this account, you see it is reason? able tbat we should have always a new and fresb s.'ock, never doubt it. If some somebody offers you an article from last year's stock at what we ask for it new, and 'ells you that it is less than cost, never doubt it. If he tells you that trade has been so dull that he has lost money for over a year, never doubt it, for perhaps you know the reason. If he tells you the Ten Cent Store is making money, and never has a dull sea? son, never doubt it, but don't tell him why. If he tells you that all the profit is knocked out of business by somebody that's willing to give the customer a chance to live, never doubt it, but don't tell who. If somebody tells you it is a good plan to get posted on prices at two or three places before you buy, never doubt it. If you hear that the Ten Cent Store people are glad to give you the figure?, and let you buy elsewhere If you wish, never doubt it. In short, never doubt anything you hear until you have the opinion of-the Ten Cent Store on that particular ques? tion. The Ten Cent Store people are always at your service?always glad to see you.
