Wo gladly welcome Progress, which has .just iiiade its appearance sit Union, S.C.. to our exchange list. We ex tend our best wishes to the publisher, Allen Nicholson, and the editor, I?. .1. Carter, tor their success. Andrew Carnegie, a recent convert to Democratic views, is said to have declared his willingnes: (ogive ?l,tMM?, 000 toward the D?mocratie campaign lu i ul ll' anti-imperialism is made un issue.

We fool assured that out good friend w ill eventually come ont of its <dd ruts. . ? ? mm - O Mi - We are indebted to Hon. .lohn .1. McMahon, State Superintendent of Education, for a copy of his annual re port to the Legislature, also anent pamphlet containing tho school law of the State. Moth publications will no doubt be highly appreciated by every person who is fortunate enough to get collies of them. The Atlanta ('(institution ha? sug gested tho name of lion. Amos J. Cum mings, Congressman from New York, as a candidate, for second place on the Democratic ticket. Cummings would carry a large element of tho labor vote and also a big German, and is deserv edly popular with the Democrats of ?tho whole coull tr.?. And now comes tho report that Hon. X. G. Evans will become a candidate for the next Legislature from ridge field, and that he will be urged as a candidato for tho Speakership, which leads us from tho overwrought condi tion of our exhausted State to bog'for a much needed rest . Give Jones and Smith Horne chance, for heaven's sake! - - -i- - . <^>~ People who mailt! cotton Inst year on a basis of 5 cents a pound will not be able to repeat tho operation this year. With fertilizers several dollars a ton higher and no better, and everything else used in growing the crop propor tionately dearer, tho most economical will lind the cost of making thc staple this year nenrer>even than live cents a pound. The Republican position on tho Por to Rican tariff'bill discloses tho cloven foot and shows their determination to make tho United States a more exact ing master than was the kingdom of Spain. The nation,"* whoso popular cries against such serfdom rent the vaunted skies and won for thc enslaved islanders a doubtful independence, will not submit to such a miscarriage of their wishes, but will arraign tho false taskmaster at the next November elec tion and send him on a protracted cruise up Salt River. Hon. William Jennings Bryan, on his recent trip through tho South, receiv ed a royal welcome to every city ho visited and was greeted bv very lar ge audiences every time he made a speech. There was some food for thought in every ono of his speeches, for ho handled all the great questions of tho day in a very plain, practical way. Under his leadership, with the i'ree-silvor-Bixteen-to-one-plank out of the platform, and a strong light against trusts and the policy of the present administration, tho Democrats will be successful next November. Just think of sixteen candle power incandescent lights for privato resi dences at 15 cents a month and for business houses at 20 cents! And what about water works for $1.00 per annum to each consumer aud $0.00 per annum for completo telephone service! This is what the town of Edinburgh, ind., by ownership of its own utilities, fur nishes its citizens. The question of municipal control is no longer an ex periment, but a howling success, and no well governed city should farm out its valuable franchises for even* a tempting consideration. It should se cure and reserve forever tho right to operate such plants as the public good may require, and, having secured such rights, should proceed to utilize them for tho protection of its taxpayers and the maintenance of its supremacy. Thc steady onward march of munici pal control is on and will not be check ed by private greed. -mu m mm Despite the dignified denial which Secrctarv of State Hay "hasthe honor'' to make to Ex-Consul Macram's charge that a secret alliance, exists between the Uhited States and Great Britain, .tho burden of proof rests upon him to substantiate his statement, by more satisfactory evidence than his unsup ported word, It is merely a question of veracity between two gentlemen both reputable and entitled to a hear ing by evidence, and viewed in tho light of recent events the American people refuse to believe with the ad ministration apologists that Macrum has lied. Tho Secretary evinces a keen sense of humor in endeavoring to prove that no secret alliance is possible un der thc constitution of the United \8tatcs, which reminds us of Mark Twain, in his "Innocent's Abroad," dropping a tear upon tho grave of his lam?itcd ancestor, Adnm. Having proven ourselves "superior to tho Con stitution" let us not name it except in subdued tones and deepest reverence. However much wo may sympathize with tho Boers io their heroic struggle for liberty in the Transvaal, we most heartily deprecate the despicable ends attempted by langland's enemies in Europe to incite American interven tion there. The latest and most trans parent attempt is hy the humiliated and spiteful kingdom of Spain through its premier, Senor Sil vela, whose d? clar?t icm in the Spanish Senate that previous td the war with the United States the British government con sented to h t Spain have 8,f>oo shells which were lieing manufactured for her ai the Maxims factory at Placenta, was calculated to cause u rupture be tween the two countries. Happily, however, Spanish disregard tor truth was taken in official circles to be th?! ut limiting principle lot the startling announcement, and tin- matter was quietly dropped, us il should have been. We had conn- to thc unwelcome conclusion thai in thc victors in the Spanish war belong thc spoils, having seen so often in ol?ieiul reports such gaudy exhibit ions ol' Spanish traits, hut we ure proud to note that we didn't denude I he haughty l'on of all his stock intrude, leaving him. at hast, do- lamb's share ol'a lying tongue. A hollow mockery was the reading by Senator Kora ker in the Senate last week ol' Washington's Farewell Ad dress. We could fancy, had the Re publicans not become so hardened, seared, and unblushing, that they would have hung their heads in shame as in the presence of their accusing angel; yet we are told by .1 e press re ports that the Senator rea it with line effect and proved himself an elocution ist of no mean talent. Let us hope that the address was read in full, for wph Hindi perfect interpretation there co. i be no more scathing arraignment of the administration's foreign policy than that most remarkable document I by a most prophetic and remarkable man. For instance, we hope the gifted Senator did not omit to read ami to properly emphasize the following: "The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extend ing our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be ful filled with perfect good faith. Here let. us stop.11 And again: "Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situa tion? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why. hy intervening our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle om peace and pros- 1 perity in the tails of European ambi tion, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice?'1 Washington's Farewell ad dress was a poser to administration Republicans, and very appropriately was it read by a representative of tho administr?t ion's policy, answering as it does fora farewell address for Im perialism, Despotism, Expansion and j Usurpation. Card of Thanks. PIEDMONT, S. C., Feb. Sitth, HMK). Militar? intelligencer : We wish through the medium of your paper to convey to Mr. and Mrs. W. Q. Ham mond and Miss Julia Lewis our heart felt and most sincere thanks' for their extreme kindness in ministering to the wants of our son and brother, Allen Emerson, during his recent severe und protracted illness at their residence. Should sickness or adverse circumstan ces ever come to them, may they ever lind as true and faithful friends tocare for them aa they have been to our brother in his affliction. No relative, however close the tie3 of love or kin ship, could have cared for him more tenderly nor ministered to his every need more patiently and tenderly. May God's choicest blessings ever oe be stowed upon thom is the prayer of the grateful hearts of JOHN A. EMERSON, H. M. G KKK, ANNIE EMERSON GEER. Antun Items. We have had some snow since wu gave the dots before, and just ilpleuty of rain, but, Mr. Farmers, there's no use in getting sulky and talking impo lite about it. You had just as well sit by tho fire, chew your tobacco and rest easy. You know that if you don't plow some after awhile you'll nearabouttry. The school nt Sandy Springs was closed hist Saturday. We are sorry to see this school close so early. 11 should have gone two months longer nt the least. Sandy Springs and Denver should, in our opinion, meet half way between themselves and establish a graded school. This, we believe, would give a higher impetus to education in these communities. With ii short term of only three or four months, the pupils forget, during the long vacation, all that they learned during school. We would bu glad to see someone take the lead in this, matter. We believe that Sandy Springs will co-operate. Several of our young people enjoyed themselves very much at a social sing ing, which was given at Mr. J. E. Pil grim's on Inst Sunday evening. Miss Maggie Tribble, the etlicient teacher at Sandy Springs, will leave very soon for h jr home in Elberton, Go. Miss Tribble is a progressive teacher and loved by all hor pupils. The patrons do not hesitate to express their appreciation of her work. Bon AM.VTF.ru. Corner Creek News.

Those of our people who have kept their cotton until now an* very much elated. We fear that the rise will cause our fanners to plantau overcrop this year. Our church-going people were kept in doors last Sunday by tho extreme eold. Mr. Will McGukin, who bas just fin ished a nice dwelling, will give a party to the voung people of the neighbor hood this Monday night. A gay time is anticipated. Mrs. F.d.

Iii KKK. mi- -mt Mosquito Valley Items. Well. Mr. Kditor, it's too cold for the mosquito to bu//., but when il turns wann he'll be here all the same. Since I last wrote you thu death an gel has been hovering round the Valley and taking away some of our citizens. First, Mr. Hohr Welburn, an old citi zen of the Valley, was buried at Shiloh the (hh inst, ile bad been living at I'olr.er for some time until last Fall, when he moved to bis place, some :t miles north of Polzer, where bodied. The funeral exercises wero conducted by the Kev. Mr. Hussey, ut the home of the deceased, after which the remains were buried by the Masonic fraternity, in the presence of his weeping wi fe and children, relatives and friends. Hut they sorrow not as those who have no hope. On the second Sunday morning, just as the congregation were going to wor ship at Shiloh Church, the sad news was brought that Mr. day Smith was dead and they wanted Kev. Mr. Atta way to attene the funeral services, to which he hastened, which were con ducted at the home of the deceased, in t he same room in which his venerable father passed away a few mouths ago. He leaves a wife, two children, an aged mother, a brother and sister to mourn their loss. His mortal remains vere laid to rest in the Slabtown cemetery. Some slight colds prevail in tho Val ley, and they say they haven genuine case of smallpox in Simpsonvillc, -on the Anderson side of 1'icuniont. Well, Mr. Kditor, weare so glad that wide tire bill failed to become a law. If it bad passed we don't know what wo would have done for North Caroli na cabbage and apples. If the moun tain schooner couldn't come it would be a plain transgression of inter-State commerce. We don't know who to holler burrah for, but we'll hurrah any way. Wo are not doing much farm work now. Our small grain is standing the cold pretty well. With best wishes to thc INTELLIGEN CER and its many readers. G ALLINICPE lt. ttriety From KIchland Creek. . - The farmers are very busy hauling guano from town. We think from tho present indications that there will bo more of the sturt' used this year than last. Mr. Willie Wells visited friends in Greenville last week. Wheat is looking very promising *n our vicinity. Mr. S. A. Jones has thc iineat we have seen anywhere. It seems that shawls are very fash ionable, as one of our dashing sports was seen some time ago with his moth er's breakfast shawl on. . Ho says he thought it wns his overcoat. Mr. F. M. Brooks lias a petition to {ret or make a public road from Snd or's Creek postottice to Mr. Robt. Bar rett's. Wo think it very appropriate, as one is needed very badly. The lagrippe has ceased after a two months' tussle with the older peoples News is very scarce iu our communi ty. So we will quit by wishing the I NTEI.LIUENCER more success than ever.
