Th?' startling report comes from Vir ginia that the peanut crop is a failure. This is particularly bad news right at the beginning of a big political cam paign. _ - mm m mm - Kight weeks from to-day the big kit tle will have been fought and we will know whether the vietoi i- l?ryan or McKiuley. 1 tryan is gamin;* ground every day. -nu m < " Tliere is coiisidi ruble discussion us to the exhaustion ol ihe eoal supply. Ii il t who the blazes tares anything about tin' coal supply now, il the ice supply li"!<U <<'.ii.' The.prospect that the next House of Heprcsentutivc-s will have a D?mocrat ie majority is admitted even by the ISepublicaus to become stronger every day. A Democratic IIo"sewns never more sadly needed by the country. The proposition of the people of Pennsylvania to create a Valley l'orge. State Park, embracing the territory made historic by the acute suffering and superb courage of Washington's forces in the terrible winter of 1777-h, is highly commendable ami is worthy of the sympathetic support of at least every one of the |:| original States of the I'nion. all of which were repre sented by heroic sons in that army of 11,000 devoted men. mm . "^^?? A newspaper can say nice thiugs about a man and bis whole family for two long years, and then incur their lifetime enmity iti one short week by a seeming slight. Yes, it's a fact; and you can hurrah l'or a candidate, back bis friends, cuss his enemies ami make a big fool of yourself all the way through, without a thank in the end, only to lind that when you are a candi date that he is "out o* politics.** Put then' is one man that don't forget you. and that's the man you opposed. Congressman I .at inter, President of the South Carolina Wheat '..rowers' Convention, has issued 'lie following: "The Wheat <'rowers' Convention is called to meet at Oreonwood Sept.'Vi next at II o'clock. They invite the cotton growers of the State to meet with them at that time that some con cert of action may be had looking to marketing the cotton crop." This is an important matter to the farmers especially, and we hope Anderson County will be well represented in the Convention. . m m mi Next Tuesday, nth inst.. the second Democratic primary is to be held. In the State the race for (J over nor, l.icutcnant-Oovernor and Railroad Commissioner is to be run over. In this County there are two candidates for the House and two for Clerk of Court in the second race. Every Dem ocrat should manifest as much interest in the second as in the first primary, and go to the polls and vote for the men of his choice. We sincerely hope Anderson County will poll as large a vote as in the first primary. It seems that the State Democratic Executive Committee does not realize that there are any Democrats in upper Carolina. At the meeting of the Com mittee in Columbia last Friday night the nine Presidential electors wen' selected, and of the number only one resides north of Columbia, C L. Please, of Newbcrry. Upper Carolina, where the majority of the Democrats of the State reside, has always stoe? u poor show ing in seeking any position for her citizens. In future we of the up-eonniry must demand better treat ment. In explanation of the fact that the largest gift to Columbia university is anonymous it is said that the great, philanthropists whose gifts are made known to the world nowadays art'so pestered by begging letters from pri vate individuals as well as the repre sentatives of needy institutions of one sort, or another, that their lives are made miserable, and that the annoy ance of these persistent solicitors more than offsets whatever of satisfaction they might feel in having the world know that they havo been generous with their resources; hence the anony mous philanthropists, whose numbers are said tobe increasing. Not one man in ten thousand sees those with whom he associates ns they really are. I f the prayer of Hums were granted and we could all see ourselves as others see us, our self-estimates would in all probability be much more ciToneous than they are now. The truth is that we regard each other through a variety of lenses, no one of which is correct. Passion and preju dice, love and hate, benevolence and envy spectacle our eyes and utterly prevent us from observing accurately. Many whom we deem the porcelain of human clay are mere pot metal, And a still greater number of those we put down in our "black books" are no further off from heaven, and perchance a little nearer, than the censors who condemn them. We habitually under value or overvalue each other; and in estimating character, the shrewdest of us only now and then make true ap praisal of the virtues and defects of even our closest intimates. If we all saw ourselves ns the world sees uf, miyltitudes would despiso themselves without sufficient cause, and not a few / be puffed up with pride for which there would bo no honest foundation. Jt is not lust or fair to look at character from a standpoint of one's own selec tiou. A mail's profile may be ?itij<i* J possessing, and yet Ins Cull faee agi?.'?'- j able. The merchant who gives run answers in hi- counting-room may be a tender husband ami dither and a kind helper of the desolate and op pressed. <>n the other hand, your good-humored person, who isall smiles and sunshine in public, may carry something as hard as the nether mill stone in the place where his heart ought to he. Such anomalies are com mon. There is this comfort, however, lor those whose miiyudgments of their fellow-mortal* lean to the kindly side such mistakes go to their credit in ' tin- great account, lie who thinks better of his neighbors than they de serve is seldom a bad man, for the standard by which his judgment is guided is the goodness of his own heart. It is only the base who believe all men base?or, in other words, like themselves. Few, however, aie .ill evil. Public men an- seldom or never diiriy judged at h.: ; while living. Howevci p::::. thc.\ rauiiol escape calumny. However corrupt, they are sure to Hud eulogists. History may do them justice; but tin \ rarely get it while alive, either 1 mm I riemls or foes.

Km no; In ri i.i.itiKM i:k : The Green ville Stirs of yesterday, under Hie above caption, says : " The election in Charleston carries its own comment. There is only one ex planation. Charleston gives McSwee ney 2007 votes against 393 for lloyt. because Charleston is in favor of the dispensary as administered in Charles ton ; and that is so administered as not to interfere with the liquor-sellers. Hero is nn 'alliance* that ought to open the eye? of the people of the State to tho true status of affairs. The publi cation of Charleston's vote ought to be the only campaign document needed for the overwhelming election of Col. Hoy t next Tuesday." That is all true. But we haveGov. McSweeney'a word for it, over his own signature, that he is running the Gov ernment on purely buainess principles, i Therefore, what liquor the dispensary I fails to sell to the people direct the ! Government, as a matter of strict bus iness, is ready to furnish to the flour ishing blind tigers of Charleston. As a matter of business the Government could not afford to go back on its part ners?the blind tigers. I suggest that the County tigers might profit by this little business arrangement, unless the city tigers exclude them from the part nership.

The gearing is the simplest, the pitman is the loosest and strongest, the knife and the cutter-bar the most excellent and true. The McCormick Mower has the only rolling tilt. Too McCormick has * direct draft from the team to the cutter-bar, and the axle turns on the frame on the celebrated' McCormick roller bearings. 4! T.
