Democrats control the Ohio Senate, but tho Republicans have the House and live majority on joint ballot. The Wood County case was settled by the Court in favor ol'thc Republicans. There is still talk of a combine against Hanna for Senator. mo ? m ?fudges Pardee and Newman, of the ignited States Circuit Court in At lanta, handed down a decision last Saturday compelling the Southern Railway to haul the goods of the At lanta whiskey dealers into lifts State. This is another victory for the origi nal package dealers. ? Alabama id furnishing 100,000 tons of coal to Mexico for her railroad loco motives in competition with Knglish coal. Here is another important American industry finding a foreign market. Knglish coal cannot suc cessfully compete with the products of the rich fields of the South. Judge Izlar has boen suggested as a fit candidate for thc Judgeship of thc First Circuit, and the Columbia Rcy ixfer is authority for thc .statement that he has consented to run. Judge Izlar's many friends throughout tho State would be more than pleased to see him again elevated to the Hench. The "Southern l'armer and Horti culturist,"' published twice a month at Newberry by K. H. Aull, and edited by Prof. J. S. Newman, of Clemson College, has made its appear ance. lt is devoted to the develop ment of Southern agriculture and to the interest of the farm, garden and household. It is well worth the sub scription price- one dollar a year. Thc preliminary report of the De partment of Agriculture at Washing ton in reference to thc yield of cotton has been made public, and indicates an average yield of 181.0 pounds per acre. The State averages are as fol lows: North Carolina 184,South Caro lina 180, Georgia ITS. Alabama 155, Mississippi 220. Louisiana 2?5. Texas 155. Tennessee 152, Oklahoma 155, Indian Territory 200. Thc dispensary supporters believe that the only show for the mainten ance of the State's liquor shops is for Senator Tillman to return and enter thc race for < ?overnor next year. It is reported that Mr. Tillman has made the statement that he would, if neces sary, resign from thc Senate and make the race for Governor on that issue, but wc do not believe he will ever do BO. The killing of Turner by Newbold ia Spartanburg last week is another outrageous crime that can be laid at the door of the dispensary system. The murdered man was an upright, law-abiding citizen, and his life was worth more than all thc profits that ever can be yielded by the dispensary. Newbold is a State constable and there was no excuse for his crime. Ile fchould be captured and pay the pen alty of his crime. Once more Mr. Neill comes to the front with his cotton estimates. On thc first of September, or thereabouts, he guessed that thc crop would ? reach ten and a half million bales. He now revises this guess so far as to announce that the minimum yield of thc Ameri can crop will he ten and a half million bales, and predicts that thc price in Liverpool will fall to 2 7-8d. This means about 5 cents on this side, and even less, for the average grades. EJl-'nr th?'

The Cotton fi rower.* Convention to bc held in Atlanta on the Kith rf De cember may be aide to accomplish some good if the politicians are kept out of it and made to understand that their -er. ices are not neoded, Here tofore every movement inaugurated by the farmers for their mutual benefit has been captured by thc politicians who would use it for their own selfish metis es, and who. by attempting to array the farmers against every other class or business interest, would crip ple thc organization and destroy its influence. This is an agricultural country, and everybody is interested in thc welfare and success of thc farmers, for their success means thc success of every other business. At thc same time the farmer needs the encouragement and aid of every other business man, and he will have it if he refuses to make war on other avo cations.

The general opinion by thus? in formed as to tho cause of the low prico of cotton now, is that it is caused by ?pecu lation in "futures " We decided iu that convention to call a meeting in each County in South Carolina for the first Monday in December, and urge every cotton "grower, with hankers, lawyers, merchants, and all the professions who aro interested in advancing the price of cotton, io meet at thu County seat in each County at that time and aid in every way posslblo in this undertaking. I, there lore, ask that you publish lu your paper a notice of tho meeting and urge through the editorials n full attendance.

They be gan to see that they could not produce their chief product KO cheaply and buy one of thc great necessities abroad. Can we raise corn and hogs herc at home? Experiment set in along that linc and resulted favorably. Cotton came on down to 10 cents a pound, experimenting became general, and it WAS demonstrated that the sunny South was self-sustaining, and no longer de pended on her Northern neighbors for her meat product. Cotton came on down to ?> cents a pound and even lower, and the people of the South turned their attention to ward stock and grain raising, and as a result thc South is developing into a wonderful-country, and it is destined to rival what we call thc great corn-pro ducing States in the number of hogs _j u.'.-i. _i_ -e_ uuu uuoiiuio ut cul il.

My phyeiciaus have advised that I cannot stand the ?train of the raereantilo business any longer. The Directors of the Store are unwilliug to accept my resignation as Manager aud elect another man in my place. So the ouly alternative left is to close out, and we realize fully in order to do so speedily it will be imperative to offer great inducements iu prices. Unfortunately lor our Stockholders we bought a much heavier and better Stock of Fall and Winter Gooda thau ever before. It was an error in judgment, but I thought in July and August that we were making a big crop in this country, and would get a good price for it, but it is cut both ways, ?iud our idea is the first loss is the easiest borue. We have a cash offer from a party in New York to take our entire stock at so much on the dollar, but it is so much less than real intrinsic value for fresh, new, desirable Goods, ive have decided that where we are forced to give away anything we prefer that our own people shall get the beuefit of it. Hence we inaugurateT A SLAUGHTER SALE AU through the Store. Heretofore we have endeavored to maintain the one price system, but now in order, to close out in a short while, quantities will necessarily be something of a leverage in prices, as it is necessarily less ex. pense to close out quickly than to take a long time to do so. 1 Again, it is impracticable to sell all lines at a uniform cut rate. It is im. portant to reduce the stock uniformly, so i s to keep a good assortment intact, thereby enabling us to fit up every customer. Any articles we are specially overetocked in we will naturally cut lower at first, and afterwards we may mako further reductions on lines not moving so rapidly. For instance we are OVERLOADED in Shoes, Men's Clothing, Hats and Furnishings, And Ladies' Fine Drpss Goods* Millinery and Notions, Aud we have CUT PRICES on many of these Goods TO THE QUIClCj Remember, these Special Prices are for PROMPT CASH ouly.
