Every State that has adopted, bien
nial legislative sessions is better gov
arned than before-because it is less
governed. South Carolina would no
?oubt profit by having biennial sessions
.f her Legislature.
A Pennsylvania grand jury has
found a true bill against United States
Senator Quay, Iiis son. Richard and
Benjamin J. Haywood, ex-State Treas
urer, for fraudulent transactions in
connection with the People's Bank.
Much stigma has been attached to
Senator Quay's name for some time.
The matter is no great surprise.
Spain has accepted the United States'
effer of $20,000,000, and at a joint ses
sion of the peace commission in Paris
last Monday afternoon consented with
out condition to relinquish Cuba and
?ede Porto Kico, Guam and the Philip
pine islands. The peace treaty will
be signed to-day. Spain has acted
?wisely in surrendering the Philippines
and has the best of the bargain.
An exchange says the cotton crop of
1899 is now being bought and sold for
less than G cents. August futures were
quoted on the New York Exchange last
week at 5.39; October at 5.41. What
encouragement can the cotton grower
extract from this? Eenters for 1S0G
should refuse to rent land if they are
forced to plant all cotton to the exclu
sion of a supply of provision crops.
There is no encouragement for a renter
at the present price to rent land and be
forced to plant a heavy cotton crop.
With a heavy provision crop he may
plant cotton only to pay rent, but not
for a money crop.
One of tho most remarkable incidents
.f volunteer army life was experienced
by one of the paymasters at Miami,
Fla., recently. A member of the Sec
ond Alabama regiment absolutely re
fused to accept his pay, amounting to
$35. He said he had entered the stfr
?ice purely through patriotism, and
did not want any compensation. This
being the lirst case of the kind, the
paymaster had no precedent to guide
him. AAfter some thought he drew a
red line through tho name, indicating
that the sum had not been paid. Should
the soldier ever need his pay, the Gov
ernment stands ready to settle the
account. *_ _ _
The anti-cigarette law passed by the
Jast Tennessee Legislature is declared
constitutional by the Supreme Court of
that State. The opinion declares that
cigarettes are not legitimate articles of
commerce, because they are wholly
noxious and deleterious to health and
therefore are not within the provision
of the Federal constitution protecting
legitimate commerce. It also holds
that the conventional cigarette pack
age is not an "original package" in the
true commercial sense,*for which addi
tional reason the Federal law has no
application io this statute. The sale
of cigarettes has been stopped by
order of the police. The decision will
likely be contested in the Federal Su
preme Court, and will be watched with
interest by the whole country.
Let it be remembered that each bank
check or draft, must bear a stamp. So
must every bill of lading, mortgages,
conveyances, leases, power of attorney,
warehouse receipts, telegraph mes
sages and express packages. In every
case the stamp must be affixed and thc
person affixing it must cancel it by
writing across its face his initials and
the date. The tax act provides that if
any instrument or document specified
as subject to a tax stamp is left un
stamped "with intent to evade the pro
visions of this act," the offender shall
bc deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction shall be lined not
exceeding $50, or imprisoned not ex
ceeding six months, or both. Some
people are very careless in affixing
these stamps to the papers requiring
them.
Thejurors servingat tho present term
of Court in Greenville deserve io be
congratulated upon the faithful per
formance of their duties. The jury
system is the bulwark of civil liberty,
but it is so only when stern duty sweeps
aside prejudice and sentiment and
makes naked evidence thc basis of its
operations. When sentiment is allowed
to overshadow duty and check the How
of justice criminals take courage and
it is only a question of time till all the |
land is deluged with crime. However j
much the sentences of the Courts may
do violence to the tender susceptibil
ities of jurors they should know that
duty, aione, which brings swift, but
just, punishment can give that security
of person and property which is so
much desired by every community.
The juries of Greenville County should
be made up of as good men as can be
found in other Counties, and doubtless
are, but from laxity of duty, or some
other cause, thc increase of crime in
that County within the last few years
is to be deeply deplored.
Itis gratifying io note that the es
tablishing of a Juvenile Reformatory in
this State is no longer a possibility but
avery great probability. The matter
took definite shape during the last
session of thc Legislature, and a com
mission was appointed and authorized
to make investigations aud report.
This commission with Rev. Dr. Brown,
of Sumter, as chairman, is ready to hiy
before the next Legislature the infor
mation desired to lead them to proper
legislation on the subject. The object
sought in planting an institution of
this kind cannot fail tornee tiie ap
proval of the taxpayers of the State.
Thc placing of youthful offenders along
side of hardened criminals without an
effort to reform them other than by the
punishment inflicted by thc operations
of penal statutes speaks badly for a
people living in thc midst of Christian
civilization. The long neglect of so
important a matter-so great a debt
due to humanity-cnn scarcely bc
atoned for now, however willingly and
promptly wc may ask through our rep
resentatives in the Legislature, and to
postpone tho mutter longer would
amount lo little less than criminal
neglect. Under existing statutes thc
iron hand of thc law deals alike with
young and old. Tiley arc sent to thc
same prison, placed in the same cells,
worked side by side and what the
youth lacks in criminal education lie
soon learns from his older companions.
His inclinations to reformation meet
with no encouragement: he realizes
that lie is a vagabond and an outcast
and for the want of an opportunity to
bc once more trusted and tried be
comes, indeed, a vagabond and a men
ace to society.
The Only Way Ont.
MR. EDITOR : Southern, and especi
ally Southeastern, farmers are into it,
and there is only one way out. The
very low price of their leading staple,
cotton, will no doubt affect all, involve
a great many and ruin financially a
large number. Weil, in view ol" this
condition of things, with no prospect
of any improvement in the future,
what is to bc done ? What is thc way
out of such a dilemma? Some say buy
more guano, fertilize more heavily and
make more cotton to thc acre. It is
very evident there is no get out on that
linc, but a very good way to make
matters worse. Thc fact is there is
only one way out, and that has been so
often urged on Southern farmers, and
so little heeded, that it is hardly worth
while to urge it again ; and that way is
to make every farm self-sustaining.
Do as the great Washington used to
tell his overseers during his absence
from Mount Vernon, "Buy nothing at
all that you can make at home." If
the flour, bacon, corn, oats, peas and
hay, purchased Arith cotton in Ander
son County could bc exactly estimated,
it is possible that thc sum would equal,
if not exceed, that of thc cotton crop.
If this even approximates thc truth,
how much more sensible would it be to
raise these things and let the. cotton
go. There is no usc arguing that the
over-production of cotton has nothing
to do with tlie price, when thc ignorant
darkey in thc country knows that it
has. Such an idea is utterly inconsist
ent with all the rules of commerce from
Adam down to McKinley. Supply und
demand have ever been, no doubt ever
will be, the controlling factors in com
merce.
By producing on our farms what we
consume and thereby reducing tho
acreage of cotton, there would be also
a reduction of the amount of needed
fertilizers which is and item of great
importance. Look at the caught up
condition of farmer, who this j'oar,
purchased largely of guanos with
thc prospect at least of t? cents cotton
to pay for them, and now have to meet
their obligations with 4 to.') cents cot
ton. Can they bear up under such nu
unequal burden .' They can't begin to
do it-that is.just it in a nutshell. The
sooner they stampede and get out ol' so
unequal a race the bei [cr they will do
and feel. More home-made manure,
less cotton and more homo products
must bc the battle cry of Southern far
mers if (hey would hold their own. li*
tiley Avant their children ami grand
children to be tlie future "hewersof
wood anti drawers of water"" for capi
talists, they can go on in their present
policy of guano and cotton und cotton
and guano. Thousands of our North
ern friends no doubt Ionic down upon
us both in sympathy and blame. They
see our suicidal course and are amazed
that we do not see it loo and turn from
it. But is there any hope ol* a change
Is there any prospect of inducing far
mers to change their hitherto policy?
If there is it must be by individual
effort. Wc have lost all confidence in
cotton or agricultural conventions and
associations. Each fannel' must study
thc situation for himself and say, Let
others do as they please, :is for mc and
mine wc are going to live at home and
board at tile same place. There 'is no
possible; hope ol' unity of action, it
may beihni some farmers.are already
i planning for a big cotton crop, expect
I ing all . their neighbors to plant less,
and that will give them a linc oppor
tunity to make a for! une. And if every
man thinks and acts that way lhere
will be a 12 or li million bale crop next
year, accompanied with one ol' tho
greatest mm-fortuncs ever befell any
people. So let every man, in his own
personal-character, representing alone
himself, resolve to turn over anew leaf
in his farming operations, and sec if he
can't have something and be somebody.

The Court House Clock.
Editor Intelligencer : Permit one who
feels exceedingly proud of our magnifi
cent new Court House to ask a perti
nent question about the indicator of
time placed in its dome. Is it that tho
old clock is not suitable to the new, or
is it that t he new modern structure is
ashamed of Mic old clock? The old
clock, we are told, isa splendid rime
keeper ; why does it refuse to serve its
purpose now? Can jTou enlighten one
who likes to understand the cause of

FOI CASH OILY.
ANDERSON, Nov. 14,1S98.
We have learned by experience that
the business methods of the majority
of people to whom we have, extended
credit are altogether too loose, andas
we find this condition of affairs is be
coming more prevalent, we will from
and after this date, conduct our prac
tice wholly for cash. In conformity
with this intention, we hereby give
notice to that effect. By adopting that
method, we will defend ourselves from
that undesirable element of fashion
able, well dressed deadbeats, living on
what they owe, and from that class
who do not dress so fine, but have no
regard for their promises. Thus we
will avoid making bad debts for which
the paying class will not have to pay,
and, too. giving us more time io work
for the belier class.
We realize that we will work for
fewer people, and will lose a few of
our customers, whom we prize very
highly, lint we will have more money,
and not be so rushed. Now, we wish
to (?fiend ?io one, but will mos! posi
tively refuse tlie invitation to donny
work on time, therefore we beg you
not to -ask us for credit. I f you ave ol'
the belter class, "ty which we mean
the paying class" that we speak of, we
will be glad to see you. lint if you be
hm;: to that undesirable denicul men
tioned, we will not be glad to see you,
nor would we work for you knowingly.
We ave yours respect fully,
STRICKLAND & KING.
P. S. In order to meet our own obli
gations and maintain our credit, it is
incumbent, upon us to collect our out
standing accounts; and we will allow
no sentimental consideration to stand
in (he way, therefore we insist thal ;ill
who are indebted to cither of thc fol
lowing, Strickland & Anderson, A. C.
Strickland, Strickland &? Whitefield, ot
to Strickland & Kiug. come and pay us
now as all accounts that areiiot paid,
or Fo arranged for us to gel the monty
on them by (he first of January, 1800,
will be advci i ?sci! and sold lo I hts high
est bidder. We mean to do just what
we say, und wo mos! positively will not
carry these accounts longer; therefore
if you regard your promises nnyt hin/r,
or have any respect for your credit,
come arid pay us now. We did your
work and trusted to vour honor topav
us. Respectfully,
