If 50,000 otere divided among eight States? Icbigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Delaware, lallfornia, Oregon, North Dakota and louth Dakota?had been converted to the ?silver side, William Jennings Bryan would have been president of the United Stetes. To need only 50,000 ont of 14,000, 000 is not so bad after all. ^ ? - The official count of the votes of the County gives?Federal : Bryan, 3109; Palmer and Buckner, 17 ; regular Re publican, Webster faction, 307 ; Melton faction, 01.

Newspapers from every section re port tbat most of the mills, forced to shut down because of trade depression, are re suming work. Many thousands of idle ^operatives are given employment. The premium on gold has disappeared, and the banks are paying it out freely. In terest has delined in New York ?rom a fabulous price to four per cent, and while the price of goods have not materially ad vanced, a better tone and feeling prevails in all lines. The price o? cotton in our own market has not materially changed? ten points marking the fluctuation?al though buying is rendered more active by the ease with which money can be ob tained from our banks.7 The issues involved in the great na tional battle we have just passed through were stupendous and far-reaching. Prop erty, liberty, honor, prosperity and mis ery all appeared involved. It was a timo for careful consideration, thoughtful study and deliberate action. Doubt and uneasiness sat upon the brows of many of our standard democrats. Behind the issue of "free and unlimited coinage of silver," which in itself was sufficient to puzzle the minds of our greatest financiers many saw, or imagined they saw, the steady gathering of a dark and ominous cloud, which threatened the very exist ence of our government. Hesitation, in action or temporary departure from par ty followed. Some found themselves ir resistably drawn to to the republican par ty, some to Palmer and Buckner, while others found an unsatisfactory retreat in their homes away from the polls. It may appear tbat this class of our countrymen deserve censure and merit the criticisms of their fellow democrats, but we should not be unmindful of the inherent right of every American citizen to decide for him self tho proper coorse to pursue when confronted by issues like those so recent ly voted upon. We should not be un mindful, also, that with more than 80,000 Democratic votes in South Carolina only about 40,000 votes were east Let thoseof us who regretted, but bowed submissive ly_to the action of the Chicago Convention, be charitable to those who chose a differ ent course, remembering that noce of us are prepared to say positively that their course will prove the wisest.

Governor Evans like every other free silver advocate was mnch disappointed at tho outcome of the election as told by the published returns yesterday morning. In speaking of the election yesterday he said : "It was a bad blow to the cause of the people and shows that the money power is thoroughly entronched in power. Mc Kinley will be the tool of those who electee! him, but the intensi ty of the fight will make the Republicans realize that something must be done for the financial relief of the people. ' am confident some compromise be tween silver and gold will be arranged. My intercourse with the people of New York and the East convinces me tbat thev desire some compromise. "The South will not suffer as much as we apprehended. The bitterness between the Easit and the West has been so intense tbat Eaetern capitalists will want to recon cile the South and form an alliance which will result in the development of the manufacturing enterprises of this section, because conditions are so much more favorable here than in New England and they must come South. "Uij1>ss the Republicana give sotui measnre of reliei the figbt will bo renewed in all its intensity. It is impossible to restore prosperity "to this country under the single gold standard und the Repub licans recognize that fact. I believe that they will agree to free coinage as the lesser of vbat they consider two evils. It will only mean an inflation o? abont 875,000, 000 a year, and this is necessary on ac count of oor increased prosperity and growing; industries. "In this State we have had a fair elec tion and the wisdom of the framers of the suffrage plank of our new Constitution is thoroughly exemplified in the result. Our State to-day, so far as the election machinery is concerned and the content ment of partie.', is in better condition than any other of the Union ?

Editor Anderson Intelligence!* : If a political speakiug had bei'u auuouu ced at Anderson instead cf an Institute the Opera House would not have held half the crowd; but, however, as it was there was a good turnout of the best farmere in the County, which should en courage this very important work in the State. The importance of such farmers' meetings are just now beginning to at tract the attention they deserve. By far the most interesting subject of direct interest to farmers at preseut was the subject of feeding cattle, by Prot. Hart, although the other subjects dis coursed were interesting in their line. When Prof. Hart made the statement thaj our corn stalks that one allowed to go to waste?either rot or burned on tho ground?contain double the feed value and consequently worth to the farmer double the price of cotton seed hull?, ton for ton, there was a sort of commotion among the farmers present. They were seen to gaze in doubt at each other for a while, when one man said to Prof Hart that it would "take two of us common farmers to believe this statement." A regular routine of questions and answers followed, which were of more direct in terest and value to the farmers of Ander son County than all thocampaigu speech es made in the last year. The discussions brought to light the fact that nearly every farmer that came to tho oil mills for a ton of cotton seed hulls left at home in his fields from five ? to ten tons of stalks to waste, that was worth from twenty to one hundred times as much for feeding as the ton of hulls was worth, but in order to utilize these stalks we must not wait until they are dried out in the field from the effects of sunshine, wind, rain and frost, but we must cut it down, ear and all, and stack it in the field to cure there, just at the proper time when the fodder is ready to pull. Before feeding the ears can be tak en off by hand and the stalk and shuck cut fine in a cutting knife, or run through one of the improved shredding machines, which tears the stalk into fine particle or shreds and at the same time shucks the corn. No doubt some farmers are ready to say that he has not tho time nor mon ey to' spare to prepare these stalks and and pay for the cutting machine, but if he will take the price of two tons of hulls and buy a small machine he will find that he can cut up and prepare at least one or two tons of stalks while he would be hauling one ton of hulls home, and the larger farmers, of course, would need larger machines to run by powor which would cost more.in proportion to amount amount of work required. This plan of cutting down the corn stalks, with corn, fodder and all together, is a cbe:.p bu quick way of harvesting a corn crop, and it clears tuo land of an objectionable rub bish that is a considerable hindrance to the preparation of the land for the next crop?it also removed the standing corn off the land just at the right time to get the sunshine on the Cow Pea crop, that should always be sown among the stand ing corn at the last ploughing. This is the kind of revolutions we like to en courage. It will bo a beautiful sight to see all the stalk fields elea:: and clear of the unsightly rubbish, which Will be re placed by more and finer stock, and swoo"ie, clean and well ploughed fields. This whole corn corn stalk question may seem a little on the visionary order to many of our best farmers at first, but a little time and experience in this line?as in many more of the more recently im proved methods of farming and utilizing the products of the farm?will be con vinced of tho truth of the now. seeming extravagant claims of this new idea. a farmer cf to-day does not necessarily have to be very old to recall the day when wheat bran was not considered worth hauling home from the mill, and cotton seed was a nuisance about the gin and farm. But applied science has made them worth as much to the Southern farmers to-day, bushel for bushel, as oats or corn is worth to our Western farmers. Fora considerable time after the meal and oil of the cotton seed was made val uable, the hulls was burned for fuel un der the boilers and used for bedding un der the animals and now they are selling from ?4 to ?5 per ton, and but a few years will pass before baled shredded stalks may be a common thing on our markets. If Clemson College can succeed in plant ing this one new idea into the regular system of farming in this State she will have repaid or refunded to the State ten fold every dollar that has been spent there in supporting this institution, This is educating the farmers themselves through these farmers' institutes, while their sons may also be educated in the science of ag riculture at the College. The current questions of political econ omy, euch as the tariff and currency, and such is no doubt of considerable impor tance to every farmer, but these are of small moment to the magnitude of im provements now going on in the interest of agriculture in the great South and we look forward to the not far distant future when these Farmers' Institutes cannot be held in any common building for the want of more room. j. C. Striglino. Went Skyward with Heels up. Rome, Ga , November 7.?Will Whit field, a brick lay of this town, is a record breaker when it comes to amateur bal looning. He has made one of the most thrilling and perilous trips skyward ever made by mortal man. It was a bright and cloudless afternoon in September when Professor McSheen's balloon ascension and parachute leap were to come ol?' and the affair had been so extensively advertised thata vast crowd bad assembled in Birmingham to witness the great event. Young Whitfield rather awkward and boyish, was among the sightseers and helped to adjust and steady the ropes that confined the airship to the earth, He is about twenty-five years of age and is over six feet high, tall and gaunt, with a fair share of wit in his makeup. When the balloon was sufficiently in flated and the gearing of the paraohute properly arrangod, the order came to let go, and as it shot upward a wild cry of horror weut out from the spectators. Strong men groaned and women fainted Dangling by a three-eighths-inch rope at tached to tho balloon was the diminishing form of Whitfield, whirling around as the balloon swayed, head downward, hanging by one foot between the balloon and the ; appended parachute.) "I must have been standing with my right foot in a noose in the end of the ropo," said Whitfield, in speaking of tho experience. "At any rate, as the balloon shot up the loop caught around my an kle, and so quickly was it done that I was kerked clear of the ground and straight up without my head striking as I tripped. The balloon must have shot directly up ward, as we were carriea safely between the wires of a network of telegraph poles without touching them. "I must have been a thousand feet from the earth when recovered consciousness. You see, the sudden jerk took my breath away and the ascent was so rapid tbat I was high in the air before I realized what had happened. I could hear a voice that seemed indistinct and far away and it took mo some to locate the speaker. "From my position I could catch glimpses of the houses and fields away down below mo and it made me deathly sick as I took in the situation. My body was twirling around and around and the air rushed past me like a hurricane, while the pain in my ankle was agonizing. At last I observed the parachute about ten feet below me and recognized the voice as that of Professor McSheen, in tho para chute. "Gradually I overcame the confused-1 feeling sufficiently to comprehend whaffl ho was saying to me. He motioned to J? rope that hung down from the balloon within my reach, and at last I reachecB out my hand ond grasped it. Ho told m<S to climb up and get in the nest of rope. that formed a network below the car ancB to fix myself firmly there, where I woultM bo perfectly safe. "Then and there began the tougbesfl task of my life Professor McSheeu kcpB telling me over and over, without beiray? ing the least excitement in voice or gesjfi ture, hew to manage and hU manner enfl couraged me. Slowly and painfully fl pulled myself up, straining with all PBjB might to get my head above my heelsfl and, after what seemed to me hours ancfl hours, I succeeded. Then with the sraalu| grass cord cutting into the flesh of myH hands and feeling like it was a red-hotfl rod of iron, I began to pull myself up lit-B tie by little, as I had no 'purchase' until lf? reached the point where the ropes crossed.B "It required all my strength to get myfl feet astraddle of the crossed ropes and In was ready tc faint with exhaustion whenB I relexed my hold on the rope and rest-flj ed my weight in the network just underH the car. I did net know how high wel were at the time, but Professor McSheenH told me afterwards that we were at leastfl 3,000 feet above the earth. "About the time I got myself firmlye fixed in my airy seat I heard him callinpB me again. He was telling me tbat he waaB going to cut loose the parachute and fon? me not to grow alarmed and lose my gripS on the ropes. In a few minutes the bal Ja loon suddenly shot upward at a fearfufl rate, and looking down I saw the parafa chute sailing off and descending like twa big bird. I clutched the ropes still mor un firmly and soon realized that the balloorH was drawing near the earth. "Professor McSheen bad found that ouiflB combined weight was too mnch for the balloon and that wo wrj u in danger of he ilig dragged to ?V:i ':j. bo he bad parted company wi'li i;.t;aud reached the ground in safety. Lower and lower the balloon drifted until it reached the outskirts of the town, when the trailing ropes wero caught by the people below aud it was brought to a standstill. "You never heard such a cheer in all your life as those people 6et up ae I touched the ground. Men and women laughed and cried and hugged me as though I had been their nearest and doar est relative. They helped me untangle myself and carried me up-town on their shoulders. I was never made so mnch of in my life before nor since. "But I lived about a hundred years on that trip and all the money in the world would not tempt me to repeat it. I hard ly see now, when I think about it, how I ever managed to escape alive. I thought of all that I had overdone or had ever in tended to do while I was hanging bead downward by that little rope that was burring into my flesh and wnich has left a mark which I bball carry with me to m.v grave." Whilfield is a modest and unassuming sort of young fellow and when asked why ho did not go into the dirne museum bus iness and exhibit himself, replied that he had had all the notoriety and experience that he desired in that* line and that he preferred to follow his trade, for while there might not be as much excitement in it as in ballooning, he preferred to koop on the earth hereafter.

Each man is his own ideal of hon esty, morality, conservatism and vir? tue. Satan was perfectly conscientious in his estimate of Job's character. That man who says there are no pure Drugs sold now wouldn't do to buy from if he were in the business. The profligate man deplores the fact that virtue has died out of the world. He who whine3 for the good old days had little to do with making those days good. The man who sees sand iu every pound of sugar he buys couldn't sweeten my coffee. He nrho fails, through ^difference or a false no.tion of economy, to Paint his house, or his buggy, or his fence when they need it, saves at the spikot buf. wastes at the bung. The man who makes no charge for his advice or opinion generally gets the best of the trade. HILL-ORR DRUG CO. ACTS ! 3on can afford to come to the ass us by ! you so acceptably as now.
