They usually do when found out." At n negro conference in Chicago McKinley was accused of being unfair to the negro in army appointments. The President'should organize a few negro Regiments in the Sout h and ?end them to the Philippine Islands. Hon. Thomas 15. Heid, ot Maine, who has become famous as the "Czar" Speaker of the National House of Ucp resentatives, has tendered his resigna tion uh u member of Congress, and will locate in New York to practice law. His reputation will soon make him a millionaire in the great metropolis. The ::ist Annual State Fair will be held in Columbia Nov. ftth to 10th. The energetic Secretary, Col. Thus. XV. Holloway, l'oniaria, S. C, has issued the premium list and will send ..fy?/J to any one who may desire it. The number and value of the premiums of fered this year surpass those of pre vious years, as the. success of the Fair of 1*00 promises to surpass all previous records. ^ We have interviewed a number of lending farmers from various sections of the County, und nearly all of them say that there will not lu* more than one-half of an average crop of cotton made in Anderson County. Several of them say that the farmers in this sec tion are in a better condition than ever before to hohl their cotton awhile, and urged us to advise ihem to do so. If the crop does not exceed 10,000,000 bales, we believe the fanners can get 7 or H cents per pound for it within sixtv days. -?u&- ? mm With all the talk about labor-saving machinery having stilled the individual, there never was a time when the individ ual counted for so much, nor when so wide a held was open to him, nor when the rewards were so abundant for that thing which he alone can do best. And there never has been n time, either, that was so absolutely merciless to un trained mediocrity, observes Puck. Tho man who will take off his eont and go to work will come to tho top. And the man who is afraid to take his coat off, because it is not genteel, will go to tho bottom. Georgia's senior Senator, llncon, t hinks chat the outlook for the success of the Democratic party next year is excellent. As he sees the political situation the party will be united and harmonious. Tho opposition of Tam many to IJryan and the Chicago plat form has practically disappeared, and -til that the national convention will have to do is to nominate Mr. Rryan and ro-aflirm the Chicago platform. Senator Bacon says that it will of course add some planks to it?planks expressing Democratic opposition to trusts and imperialism. If the g. o. p. managers want a "war hero" to act as McKiuley's running mate why do they uot tlx on Saurpson 1 Sampson killed a mule at Mntanzas. Or, there is Shatter, for instance. Shafter vindicated the hammock as a weapon of war at Santiago. Or, there is Eagan, for another instance. Eagan demonstrated that his mouth was mightier than hip. sword. Or, ap a third instance, there is Cnpt. Obcrlin M. Car ter. Carter could give considerable as sistance in the work of linancing a campaign, having stolon $1,000,000 from the government and at present enjoying the protection of the admin istration. Governor McSweeney is receiving the plaudits of many good citizens from every section of the State for the way ho is administering the duties of the office of the Chief Executive of the State. He is not only more careful in granting pardons than some of his pre decessors, but he seems disposed to check the pernicious practice of offer ing rewards for tho capture of crimi nals as soon as a crime is committed. This has grown to boa great abuse. Sheriffs and constables in some Coun ties frequently seem to defer activity untilthoGovernoroft'ers a reward. They locate their man, get the reward offered and thus get a special fee for a service which it is their duty to perform. Keep up this line, Governor, and when you will have retired from office, which we hope will not be until two years after the expiration of your present term, you will receive the plaudit, "well done, thou good and faithful servant," from every true citizen. A serious race riot was threatened at Darien, Ga., last week. Tho Governor was forced to order out some of the State troops to preserve the peace. A negro had committed an outrage, and a Deputy Sheriff attempted to arrest the negro, who shot and instantly kill ed the Deputy. About 1,000 armed negroes gathered in umob to prevent the murderer from being arrested and threatened to kill and burn the hornet of the white people. When tho State troops arrived they soon secured the prisoner and arrested about thirty ol the ring leaders of the mob.. A special term of the criminal Court wilt con vene to-day to try the prisoners. Thh action in convening the Court sc promptly lo try tin- offenders will tend to stop lynching, and we would like to see similar action in every County where an outrage is attempted or per petrated. The Legislatures of the va rious States should enact some law that would give the prisoners a trial immediately after the commission ot sueh crimes as rape, riots, etc The Susamer Kxodus. Mil. Koitoic: There have been mom AnderBonians in the mountains this Summer than has been the ease, in sev eral years; nor have all yet returned. What a pity many others could not go ?others who really need the change far more than some who weut. The method of one's going depend/* on many things, but the pivot of the trip is money?more or less?generally more-. For a trip to see the mountains, perhaps Mr. Will Osbornc's plan was most successful. He weut in a strong, light hack from place to place, radia ting from Buchceiittes that were sur rounded by points of interest, remain ing at no place longer than necessary to reach tue principal points. Some go to build up their strength, and incidentally they may take on some llesh. They want a quiet place, with enough ripple to remove ennui. Of such places Highlands is the ideal lo cality?high, well located to get breezes from the tour quarters, with excellent water, air with a large, percentage of ozone in it. moderately accessible, and as yet not unreasonably elevated in its hotel charges. The upward tendency in such direction has been checked by the opening up of many well-appointed resorts in the coves ami valleys and plateaus in the neighborhood. Hut when the glamour of costly style and luxurious novelty shall have dimmed, ami the people learn that the air of Highlands is incomparable, and the fare obtainable there cannot be surpassed even by these- more fashion able resorts, there will be a return of the patronage which has been some what deflected this Summer from the old paths. . - YVJaile sonn- of tin* hotels have had an embarrassingly small number of hoarders, Mr. Norton's house has been almost full almost all the. time. The careful watch over the details of the cuisine by Mrs. Norton contributes equally with low prices of board to make this house popular. There are some persons whose means forbid even Highlands. For them there arc scattered farmhouses, where experience with hoarders enables the good housewife to make one. very com fortable, and the cost of living is much less; tho' you will find there a tempting array of very tine vegetable, mutton, tish?oh, such iish!?milk and honey. I fou ml such a place, and spent several days at Mr. Alt'. Whitmire's, on the road from Walhalla to Highlands. 1 have marked that place for future r?f ?rence and use. The coves and valleys are not attrac tive to many on account of the variety of stinging insects to be encountered there. It must spoil one to get ac acquaiuted with mountain enjoyment tit the head centre of pure, cool air and water, us is to be found at Highlands. There are very many clever, accommo dating men to be met with all over our fair land. <>n my recent trip 1 wusim pressed with the consideration shown, the desire to aid, the patience in ex plaining. For instance, where can you hud a superior to Mr. Gignilliatt, of Seneca, who divides honors with Capt. Hilly Smith, in watching out for the safety and in promoting the pleasure of others? Mr. Potts, the owner of the hackline between Walhalla and High lands, is as accommodating as an edi tor. Mr. Whit mire did not seem happy unless ho was cutting a watermelon tor his guests, or bringing in grapes or ap ples. Tho persons met all through that section impressed one with the very good feeling manifested to all those seeking rest and health among their everlasting hills, and a ready willing ness to servo them to the extent of their need. Hut I have scribbled long enough und said too little, and said that dryly. J. N. H. S. mm- -m - Curd of Thanhs. Mu. F.nrroit: We desire to return our sincere thanks to the many friends and neighbors who so kindly ministered to our devoted mother during her long ill ness. May God reward each and every one of them. We certainly will never forget them. II. P. M< llAMKl., HltOTllKltS AND SlSTKKS. Singing Convention.

Xeal Will be Placed Under Arrest. A warrant has boon issued for the arrest of Col. W. A. Neal, cx-superin tendent of the penitentiary. It was not made public until yesterday, bnt the papers were drawn up on the ?2d. The warrant was issued at the in stance of Col. T. j.Cunningham, chair man of the board of directors, and the specific charge is that Col. Meal failed to turn over the money of the peniten tiary to his successor, Capt. D. J. Griffith, within 80 days after the latter had qualified and had taken charg? of the office. The warrant was issued by Magis trate Smith, and will be served tomor row by his conatable.

Cunningham 1 was in the city that day. \ The charge under which Col. Neal ie I to be arreetM is based upon section 804 . of the criminal statutes.
