Intelligencer. Published every Wednesday. J. F. CLIXKSCALES, > EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, J PROPRIETORS. TEEMS? ONE YEAR, - - - - $1 50 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1899. We agree with the Greenville J\Tews when it Mys the law against carrying i concealed weapons is a dead letter in this State and ought to be repealed. -, m . ^ The home of Gen. John B. Gordon in Georgia was recently destroyed by fire, and a movement has already start ed among the old Confederate veterans of that State to rebuild the same. Large numbers of native I'orto Ricans are seeking enlistment in the United States Army, and a battalion ? will soon oe organized. This seems a j practical method of arousing patriotic j interest in their new political associa-1 tions, as well as a long step toward local control of local affairs, and can not fail to result in benefiting the islanders. ^ _ We are,told that the old familiar cornstalk is at last .to be recognized as possessio sr some value. Science has placed its magic hand on it and dis covered that six useful products may be made .from the hitherto considered useless substance. These are cellulose, " f or lining batteships, cardboard, paper, a patent cattle food, a glne, and an un equalled foundation for dynamite. A $50,000,000 "trustais being formed to develop the manufacture of these ar ticles and thus create a market for the stalks which will be worth about $0 per acre. ' m " m _ The Philadelphia Press computes j that the capitalization of all the trusts organized in this country in the last fifteen months reaches the enormous total of $4,185,000,000. In other words thia is two-thirds as large as the cost of the civil war; and is one-third greater than the greatest debt the United States ever owed. The manufacturers of the country in ftS?H) had n total capi; tal of $6.139,39T,385. The trusts only include a small ?hare of the total man ufactur?is yet their capital is now two thirds as large as the total sum invested in ali establishments making anything in ^ail th? land, and more trusts are being organized daily. Doctor McQuesten, until lately health officer at Manila on the staff of General E. S. Otis, but now invalided by the climate ivnd returned to this country, says it will require a force of from 100,000 to 150,000 men to establish and maintain order in the Philippines. According' to the views of this un doubtedly well-posted authority, the cost of American expansion into the Eastern. Hemisphere will "be appalling. Even as the situation now stands, with s the United States Government forced by the logic of its act to assume the're sponsibility of policing the Philippines, the consequent sacrifice is certain to be ghastly, } ' lt has been said that the great nations of Europe would be very slow to go to war with ns because not one of them can weill get along without the food products which we furnish them. There is much reason in this statement and it is especially applicable to England and Germany. Those countries do not pro duce enough food for their own popula tions, and depend upon us more and more every year to supply the deficit. The recent increase of our agricultural exports has been enormous. In 1897they amounted to $683,471,130 and in 1898 they rose to the enormous amount of $858,507,942. This is one of the reasons of our commanding strength and grow ing power among the nations. A commi ttee composed of men of high character and position, such as Presi dent Elliot of Harvard and President Low of Columbia University, has re-, cently made an exhaustive study of the-liquor question in its various rela tiona, and the statistics furnished in ! its report, which can no doubt be relied on, are interesting. As a result of its investigations, the. committee j declares that "if we look at the con- j sumption of liquor for a series of years we find a marked decline in the use of j alcoholic varieties." The use of dis- ? t$ed, liquors is decreasing. "Qur pro gress haa been in the direction of mod eration.'' Since 1840 malt liquors have been substituted for spirits. Where each person once used, on the average, 2.52 gallons of spirits a year in this country, now the average is only 1. This means that 70,000,000 people to <|ay drink only 80,000,000 more gallons of spirits than were drunk by 17,000, 100 m 1840." ^_ The Democrats of Kentucky Jiad a rough and tumble time in their con vention at Louisville. There were four candidates for Governor, and after one week's continuous session, marked at . times by outbreaks, whose intensity seemed to augur riots in the immediate present and thc split up of the party as a natural consequence, the nomina tion of State Senator William Goobel was finally accomplished with harmony and the best of good feeling prevail ing. The last plank in their platform isas fellows: "We endorse the war carried to success for the freedom of the enslaved Cubans ; and we appreci ate and honor the courage and heroism of our soldiers and sailors therein en gaged. But we declare thc conduct of the present national administration as to the Philippines tobe repugnant to every line ol' the bill of rights, the con stitution and the declaration of inde pendence/' This is the way to put it. There is no dodging; every- word of it is true. The war is now being carried on without written or precedental au thority in open violation of our gov ernment's policy since its organization. Every Democratic State in the union will nave this plank or one in effect the same in its next platform, and some of the Republican States heretofore will So into the Democratic column in or er to support and corry oat the senti ment of that plank. The Alliance Barbecue at Seneca. A hot and dusty Fourth of July-a day of warm peace and good will-that was yesterday in Seneca. "G et togeth - er and stay there," was the good old tune of the occasion. No farm er, no merchant, no lawyer, no doctor, no politician, no nobody. All were just that every-day common thing-called a man-and all were in danger of that other thing-some folks call a man but to judge it by its actions appears more like-the devil. In short, the big Alliance barbecue meet was a regular love feast, where everything and every body came in for a share of love, ex cept the greedy few wealth-cursedmen of this great country that now threaten its flower of happiness, even the blos som of life itself. At seven o'clock yesterday morning a Blue Ridge engine puffed and snort ed at the Anderson depot, impatient to whirl the -'boys" on to Seneca and the "cue." The "boys" were a little slow, as the hour was early, but they all got on board on time, and over the hills cf King Cotton the engine sped on to the "meet." A quick run of forty minutes, then the train emptied its load of An dersonians to swell the Alliance gath ering. At ten o'clock a brand new grand stand at Seneca, in the hollow of two hills, was ready to accommo date the "big guns" of the day. The stand itself spoke a message eloquent. It was spanned across at the top with ribbon cloth in colors of red, white and blue, fresh cut wheat and oats bound the scantling posts, the long, green leaves of two corn stalks waved con tentedly, a six-inch plank was frescoed in green with "Equal Rights to All Special Privileges to None," and two cotton stalks, within the circle of two flower pots, stood trembling in the Summer breeze. That was diversity of crops. Shorey after ten chairman J. R. Earle, jr., of Walhalla, introduced to the near 2,000 men, women and children present, Hon. J. R. Blake, of Abbeville. "The Gentleman of Integrity" gave the crowd a strong speech in favor of the Alliance and its great purpose---" to uplift the people as a whole." He did not think a diversity of crops would remedy "languishing" agriculture ex cept in a temporary way. The cry of oppression was loud, caused by thc un bridled greed and daring of a few over capitalized men. He quoted the corset trust to show- that not content with squeezing men, "they squeeze where it's a shame on civilization." President J. C. Wilborn, of the State and National Alliance, followed next with a rousing appeal for' renewed in terest and zeal in the alliance move ment. He told those present to get back in the "Subs," pay up their dues, and go to the State Alliance Conven tion to meet in Columbia the last of this month. The merchant, the farm er and others were in a bad lix-all in the same boat-and it was time to get together in the Alliance to meet and battle with the common enemy-"the greedy few." Assistant Chairman J. L. Smith next introduced Congressman A. C. Latimer as "one of our own boys because we. made him." The sun was hot-the audience was just a bit tired-so the Congressman shot out a joke. Then he made an appeal for all classes, (merchant, farmer, lawyer, etc.) to take hold of the Alliance with a new and stronger "all-together" grip. To prepare at once for the great fight against the heretofore mentioned "Devil." At the close he gracefully made way for Congressman w. J. Tal bert* "a visitor," Assistant Chairman Smith said, "that he had pressed into service." The "visitor" thereupon gave the audience a running fire of jokes, a volley of good things Alli ance, and a broad-side of danger that now threatens the people. Thc Alli ance demands were right and proper for all classes of the people. He stood for Biyan and opposed the expansion policy. In the home he looked for the salvation of the country. Senator U.K. Tillman was next in troduced as the "Grand Mogul" of South Carolina, and though he insisted that itwas hot and time for dinner, thc audience wouldn't have it so, so he gave them, in his own words, "a little bread and meat spiced with salt." One of the spectators asked who was responsible for the present bad condi tion of the people. The Senator's eye flashed. "The fools that vote to put scoundrels in office, sir," he replied. In brief, the Senator's speech was to the effect that it was time for the "great middle class" to rise up and fight against the "greedy few" now through money in power. A voice echoed his wish that Bryan be elected in 1900 with a loud "God grant it." Relative to his anti-expansion views he said the policy to "get all you can and keep all you get" was a tyrant plea to keep up the row in the Philli ines. To withdraw now would ba ad, but we had no business there at the start. In spite of protests the Senator cut his speech short in order to adjourn for the daylight banquet. At the barbecue Hon. W. 1). Evans, Col. M. L. Donaldson, Senator Tillman and others made a few brief remarks. The Anderson special made the trip back on the fly. Time thirty minutes. Senator Tillman was on board, and last night was the guest of editor D. H. Russell. G. C. S. Trinity News. Some parts of our section have been blessed with good rains, while some places have not had a season since planting. Mr. Earl Gassaway, of Corner Creek, spent the night and day with us re cently. We hope he enjoyed his trip and will call again. Miss Nannie Thompson, a charming young lady from Lebanon, is visiting her uncle, Mr. Thompson. We wish her a pleasant stay in our midst. We have some very genius people within our limits. 1 f everybody would come around and see Mr. Shirley's new way of getting water they would think that he was a man of invention. He has a continual stream of water flowing from his well, and he neither has to draw or pump, but go turn a valve and the water flows, lt is a simple thing but very convenient. Mr. J. C. Rush, of Williamston, ac companied by his two beautiful and attractive daughters, attended preach ing last Sunday. ( lome again, friends, when time is not so precious. Children's Day was observed at Hopewell last fourth Sabbath. They had a most interesting program und everything was carried out nicely. Tho most noticeable piece was the "Light, House,'' which was builtby five young ladies. They spoke with power and elegance. The address by Rev. J. ?T. Copeland was interesting and all en joyed his being there. May Hopewell always make as good a success at al) lier undertakings as they did with this is the wish of SCHOOL HOY. He Knew Human Nature. A little while ago Lawyer Hackett purchased some, land over which there had been a lawsuit for years, until the parties had spent haifa dozen times what the land was worth. Hackett knew all about it. Some of the people wondered why he wanted to get hold of property with such an incubus of uncertainty on it. Others thought that perhaps he wanted some legal knitting work, and would pitch in red-hot to fight that line fence question on his own hook. Said Hackett: "What's your claim here, anyway, as to this fence?" "I insist," replied the neighbor, "that your fence is over on my land two feet at one end, and one foot at least on the other." "Well," said Hackett, "you go ahead just as quick as you can and set your fence over. At the end where you say 1 encroach on you two feet set the fence onto my land four feet. At the other end push it into my land two feet." "But," persisted the neighbor, "that's twice what I claim." "I don't care about that," said Hack ett. "There's been fight enough over this land. I want you to take enough so you are perfectly satisfied you have got your rights, and then we can get along pleasantly. Go ahead and help yourself." The man paused, abashed. He had been ready to commence the old strug gle tooth and nail. But this move of the new neighbor stunned him. Yet he wasn't to be outdone in generosity. He looked at Hackett. ".Squire," said he, "that fence ain't going to be moved an inch. I don't want the blamed old land. There warn't nothin' to fight but the principle of the thing."-Lewiston {Me.) Journal. NOTICE.

ANDERSON STEAM LAUNDRY CO. 202 East Boundary St. PHONE NO. 20. IT MUST BE DID ! There is no way out of it. It must be did ! It must be did ! How often have I lain on my pillow a steepness night trying to devise means to avoid it. and yet every time the cock crew for day the same stubborn facts stared me in the face. It must be did. Yes, it must be did. And we have gone and done it. "The die has been cast-the Rubicon has been cross ed." Yes, we have done the deed. We could not turn back now if we would, and would not if we could. It is stipulated in the contract what shall and what shall not be. It is history that great and good deeds are repeated from time to time throughout the ages. So let it be with us. Let us go on reach ing out our hands and doing the deeds of the past over and over again. Let the watchword be "Advance" till time shall call a halt and our labors shall be no more. Once upon a time in the natural course of events, just one decade and seven moons since, on the Ides of March, a stranger came to town-unnoticed by men, barked at by dogs. He sniffled the mountain breeze, patted the few lonesome silver dollar? in his left-hand britches pocket and proceeded to lay a nest egg in a little 21x57-foot storeroom on South Main street. The first day's business showed stock on hand $85.00, cash sales ?15.00. Week after week rolled by and every day bore its fruit until on Oct. 25, 1889, out of a stock of $700.0(i, cash sales went up to $300.00. Couldn't get goods as fast as?could sell 'em. Two years later had to have larger quarters-moved up street one door ana got larger store and two floors. In 1895 had to move again. This time up on the Square. Larger house and three floors. In 1898 forced to rent large brick warehouse to get more room. And now, in the summer of our discon tent, in the hot summer of eighteen hundred and starve to death, we are crowded again and must have more room-room to turn around in, room to handle our stuff, room for the people that come to see us. Hence we have se cured larger quarters to accommodate our business. Move, MOVE, MOVE ! And we are going to move again. To make the job lighter we will commence reducing stock at once. If you want some of the biggest Bargains you ever saw, come early and get them. But if you want to enjoy life just hang around and see competition weep. We want to move just as few things as possible and offer you an opportunity to help us reduce stock and at the same time maintain the strength of your purse. 12 lbs Good Baking Powder fot 25c.
