' The only way the farmers can offset the action of the fertilizer trust in raising the price of fertilizers is to make a small crop of cotton next year. Then they can control the price of the staple and get trust prices for it. A big crop of cotton next year means more hard times for the farmers of the South. _ One by one the leaders of the Filip pino rebellion are dropping off by death or capture. Thekilling of Gen. Gre gario del Pilar, the commander ot Aguinaldo's bodyguard, is a serious blow to the rebels. It also indicates that the Americans have, and probably are still, pretty close on Aguinaldo's heels. Nobody need be. surprised ii the insurgent chief himself, slippery as he is, should be captured any day. A few days since the bankers of Wal street were saying that a panic wai coming because stock speculators coule not get all the money they wanted The steady upward movement o bonds did not deter them from asking the secretary of the Treasury to bu; more bonds. Now comes the announce ment that New York bankers ar thinking of loaning $20,000,000 of gol to the British government. The gam was a great big bluff. Mr. Dwight L. Moody, the celebra ted evangelist, died at his homo i Northfield, Mass., last Friday. He wa taken sick while holding a meeting i Kansas City, and was carried to h home immediately. Mr. Moody WJ notan ordained preacher, but heh?' been instrumental in the conversic of thousands in this country and Ei rope. This country never produced more popular or successful evangelis and is death his greatly lamented. Chairman Jones, of the Nation Democratic Executive Coramittc says there is not the least doubt b that Bryan will be nominated wi tho s serious opposition and, he believes, will be nominated by acclamatic Chairman Jones is in a position to b( know the sentiment of the whe country. One section of country, says, "will regard the silver issue as t leading one in the platform, anoth will regard imperialism as the one c serving most consideration, while si another will hold out that the tru are above all things to be given proi nence. These three will be the qn tiona. The Manufacturers1 Record, the le; ing industrial paper in the Uni States, believes that the South is the eve of unprecedented indusb expansion, and is itself working w praiseworthy energy toward that e In its large special industrial edit for December 14 it presents a surve: the Southern field of enterprise fi the view of twenty-three promin and successful Southern men, who "experts in iron, cotton, lumber, pl phate and other bases of South manufacturing, or enjoying well-er ed distinction in Southern devel ment." These writers are not c hopeful but enthusiastic, and it is spiring to follow their outline of beloved land's achievements and ] sibilities. The Record itself sings song of the "lusty South" at a 1 pitch of enthusiasm. An experiment is being made Washington County, Ga... on the of rural.school consolidation and transportation to and from school will be watched with interest not in Georgia but in other States, plan that has been in operation, has so far proved eminently satif tory, provides for the consolidate eight or ten small schools of one te er each into one academic i nat itt with several instructors.

We specifically to the building and tenance of roads, the great arter trade, the nerves of commerce ai pulse of pride and prosperity, out good roads trade is stagnant merce is prostrated and no better is wanted to establish an estima country's thrift and welfare, been demonstrated here in our that it is a waste of money to cor roads of clay, for not one road County can be termed a pern thoroughfare. Given, then, the a of money expended on dirt roi this County during the past sh with very little to show for it would oppose tho substitution o? providing for permanent stone though the mileage must necc be restricted to the constitutions It is true, we might ask for tho lege of floating long term bon this purpose in order to fneil it construction, and it might ht; t of wisdom so to do, ns we are ii to think, because with the woi started we'should not wish to b( icapped by an exhaustion of funds, for continuous work is less expensive than that which is periodical. We can rely upon the good sense and progressive judgment of our delegation to present this subject to the Legislature in its best shape, and shallleave itwith them, with the suggestion that they provide for the protection of such roads by taxing all vehicles in the County, ex cept those of a stated width, which shall be sufficiently wide not to cut up the roads. If the State is not ready for such a measure, the County of An derson, the first County of the State to lead in a special road law, is. Let us continue to lead though others fol low.

This order provides for the free delivery of mail along every star route in South Caroli na. It 'will be understood that star routes include all mail routes where the mail is camed through the country by private conveyance. There are 373 ol these routes m South Carolina-quite ii number of which run through youl country-so that they touch almost ev ery neighborhood in thc State. This service will begin July 1st nexl for a term of four years. All that ii necessary on the part of the people liv ing on or adjacent to one of these mai routes, in order to secure free deliver of their mail, is to erect a box on th roadside in such position that the car rier can reach it without leaving th seat of his vehicle, and then direct th postmaster to send your mai? ont b; such carrier. As the service is being undertaken i an experimental way, and in South Cai olina only, upon my suggestion and ui gent recommendation, I may be pai doned for .feeling some anxiety in th whole State as will justify the assurai ces I have given here. Much is depeut ing upon the interest and appreciatio shown by our people. As a first evidence of proper interci and appreciation, I hope our people wi erect neat boxes-don't be content wi1 any old waste box-and let them 1 ready for thc first trip of the carri' under the new contracts next July.

Co, : A year has nearly passed since I was at your big and beautiful Store last Christmas. I had a grand time with the children and never met a prettier, healthier, happy lot. Your goods evidently have a great deal to do with keeping them thus healthy and happy. I carefully examined your lovely stock of goods, namely : Clothing, Shoes, Jackets, Hats, Dress Goods, Hosiery, Underwear, Furs, Mackin toshes, Umbrellas, Gloves, Handkerchiefs, Neckwear, Fur Robes, Toys. 'Dolls, Books, Cameras, Games, Pictures, Albums, Baby Blankets, Cloaks, etc., and I was delighted' with them. No one should think of buying presents elsewhere. I start immediately, as the presents are so many and weigh so much that my reindeer cannot travel very fast, and they will have to rest now and then on the way. I will be at your Store positively Saturday morning, Dec. 16th, at nine o'clock, and will remain until Christmas Eve. My best compliments to you and all your chil dren customers. Tell them that I will be nt their homes Christmas Eve. Ever your admiring friend, mua To Julius H. Weil ? Co., Anderson, S. C. This Store is open every night until 9 o'clock for Shoppers. Come and bring the children. Send your mail orders here. Y""""," jy|_|ys H. WEIL & CO. 4
