The party moy be compelled to forsake its pel scheme for the reason that it abandoned the Porto liicau lar i IV measure. Anderson in her rapid mareil nf pro gress should not neglect the establish ment and encouragement, ol' th?( small er industries. H is such industries us these that net the most satisfactory re sults, the size of the investment being considered. It is a comparatively easy matter to diversify a city's industries by encouraging investment ?dong these lines and by a liberal subscription to them. True, the investment may be small at the time but it is ten-fold larger in its after effects than now seems npparent to the individual in vestor. In other words it is a dual in vestment, llrst to the individual, and next to the community. Looking over tho field in a casual manner, there are many small but paying industries bad ly needed here. We need a spoke and shuttle factory, a spool factory, a ear pet mill, a bag factory, a shoe factory, a barrel and box factory, e. paper box factory, a pottery, a tobacco warehouse and factories-for tobacco will soon be one of our importan t products, a wagon and buggy factory, a trousers factory, a shirt factory, and a score of other en terprises which only need promoting to become permanent and prolitable. Our sad experience in one ?muH enter prise should not prejudice us against all nor against the same ono with experi enced managers and a well equipped plant. Let us east about for small investments. Last week we suggested tho matter of governmental aid in road building, and urged organization in order to in vite thc experiments of the general government along this line to this par ticular field. Our suggestion has been heartily endorsed by a number of prom inent and representative citizens, and received a more nattering reception than we had hoped. The suggestion is further augmented by what seems to be a wise amendment made by a stu dent of public questions. Commenting upon the road law of New Jersey, he said that, in his opinion, it was the du ty ol the State to enact a general road law as an earnest to the genernl gov ernment that we are really alive to the necessity of gootl roads. So long ns a State shows no interest in the upbuild ing of her own property, it would be embarrassing t?? her chances to be re cognized as a contestant for experi mental operations. The present road law of New Jersey gives au annual ap propriation of $100,000 toward con struction. This law has been effective seven years, during which time nearly 500 miles of roads have been built at a cost to the State ?d' l?t?l.'?.&?O. Last year lhere were built Minnies, amt this year 212 miles will bc built at an average cost of $:5'.20<? ncr mile, or #G80,fi"2(). These are maximum esti mates, but illustrate th?' point. Thc government should not he asked foran appropriation until we have ut h ast laid the foundation of self-help, both in the County and in the State. Our position is thoroughly endorsed as to immediate organization for the pur poses set foi th, and. thc suggestion of our critic is an eminently able one and one that should receive duo credit.

The plan ailo]11ed by t he Nm iii Caro lina Slate Tobacco l i rowers Associa tion lo checkmate the AtnericanTobar en Co. in its Imbi move to corner the tobaren indus!rv has arhirved a great ?b al ot'prominence and not a little favorable cominent. lite latest en croachment ot' tin- trust was upon the tobacco warehouses and was an at tempt at'absnlutt! control. In the face ot' enormous dividends paid by the trust to its stockholders, tho tobacco larmer received no more for each successive crop than formerly, so that the law ol' supply and demand was practically a dead letter ami of little benefit to lim tobacco rai nier. The crowning infamy und thc climatic straw that, broke the rainers hack however, was tho attempt of tho trust to so fortify itself that by the control of thc wai chouses it could establish its own markets and dictate marketing terms and prices as a reme dy. They conceived thc plan of co operation and resolved to tight the devil willi dre Early in January of this year every tobacco growing Coun ty in tho State sent a delegation to a largo ami enthusiastic convention call ed for the purpose of considering sonic remedial nctionon the part of tho farm ers as a whole. At this convention, Mr. J. F. .Ionian outlined a plan which was considered and adopted, tho pur port of which is shown in tho agree ment entered into at that time. The following is the text of thc agreement: "Wo agree to enter into a contract with J. F. Jordan and his associates to ?seil to timm our tobacco raised during the. next live years at an advance of not less than Fi percent over the prices of the same grade of tobacco during the last live years, the saiil price to bo fixed by a commission, a majority of whom shall represent the seller. Wc further agree to take stock with said Jordan and his associates in a corpora tion which shall bo formed for the purpose of manipulating anil disposing of said tobacco sohl by J. F. Jordan and his associates to the extent of not less than 15 per cent of the value of our snid tobacco. Tho details of this agreement shall bo hereafter arranged so as to carry ont tho true intent, and menning of tho agreement. If we make default in this agreement in any particular wo agreo to forfeit to said corporation tho said stock so taken and wo reduce the crop nt least 25 per cent below tho past year's production. Wo invite the co operation of Virginia, .South Carolina and other sections which grow bright tobacco." Tho plan has much to com mend it and is practically tho samo thing as has been adopted with very satisfactory results by the grape grow ers in western Now York. Prior to their adoption of this scheine they were all at sen about prices, and no body was making any money. Now, instead of selling tho grapes in a mis cellaneous way, they are turned into tho mutual company which they have organized. There they aro crated and sold by the company, and the total proceeds for the .season distributed among tho growers, who are in the pool, in proportion to each one's pro duction and tho grade of his product.

Harris Lithia Water IS tho strongest natural Lithia Water on the market, and has tho en. dordement of the most noted Physicians of the country as to its superiority over all others. Almost any one in South Carolina knew the noted Dr. A. N. Talley, of Columbia, and what he had to say for Harris Lithia : "After a long and varied experience in the use of mineral waters from many sources, both foreign nnd dornet tic, I am fully persuaded ihat the Hairis Lithia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the Kidney and the Bladder unequalled by any other water of which I have made trial. This opinion is bated upon observation of its effects upon my patients for the past three years, during whi h lime I havo prescribed it freely and almost uniformly with benefit in ina medical maladies above mentioned. Columbia, S. C., Oct. 8, 1892. A. N. TALLEY, M. D." "An extended clinical use of the Harris Lithia Water prompts me to the statement that I regard it as one of the be.-t, if not tho befet, Lithia Water known tn thc profession. In the condition cd' Phosphoric Urine, its action is maivclluus. Its ute iu the Rheumatic and Goaty Diseases afford me more comfort than either the Buffalo or Londonderiy Wat ors. Yours truly, Asheville, N. C. JOHN HEY WILLIAMS, M. D. "I have used for tome time Harris Lithia Water in my family, and also with my patients, and find it the best Water I ever used in catari hal condi tion of the u ret us and bladder.
