This docs not look like pros perity, Anderson County's taxable property for this year isa considerable gain over last year, and is divided as follows: Railroad property, $540,050; real estate, $4,108,731; personal property, $3,050, 054. In the valu?* of real estate she ranks ns tho liflh County in the State, and in personal property she takes the third place. Tho olticial tax abstracts show that for the year there has been an increase of $U,508,:M5 in the taxable property of the State, which shows a substantial ami steady growth for our grand old commonwealth. As Anderson can't have a street car linc, we suggest that some enterprising citizen or corporation put on an Automobile linc. We arc inclined to believe that they are about as good as thc street car, and have tho advantage of tho street car, as they have no cer tain direction to go. They eau take ou passengers at tho depot or anywhere else and carry them to any part of the city they wish to go. And a line could be established between Anderson, Williamston, 1'elzer, Piedmont and Greenville, and wo believe it could be made a paying enterprise. Anderson should have a resting room for the ladies-we mean for tho ladies who come into town from tho country to do their shopping. Such a room or place, maintained by thc merchants of tho city, mid furnished with papers, magazines, etc., would bo a pleasant meeting plaee for the ladies from both the city and couutry to form and culti vate pleasant friendships. It would also stimulate trade and create a more kindly feeling betwen tho dweller? of the country and the city. Such a place could bo raado self-sustaining by otter ing refreshments for sale at a small price. A convention of nil of the cotton growers and business men of tho South generally has been called by President Jordan, of the Georgia Cotton Grow ers1 Association, to meet in Macon on November 20 and 21. The object of the convention is to discuss and devise the best means for securing to the cot ton producer a fair price for the cotton crop each year. The success which has .been attained by tho Georgia organi zation of cotton glowers has given en couragement to all tho growers in tho South, and every State in the cotton belt is expected to enter enthusiasti cally into this movement for nn inter state organization. Delegates from every cotton growing county in the South aro cordially invited to attcud, and wo hope South Carolina will be well represented. We know of a large number of ablo uodied young men from 20 to 25 years old who hav? never saved up a dollar and now spend every dollar they earn, some of them before it is earned. It is from this class that como the finan cial scads of a community, the fellow who beats every man who is foolish enough thrust them. Hero is recruit ed a good many of tho brake beam brigade, the old pclters who end their days. in county poorhouses, the class who claim that thc world owes them a living whether they work or not. We have frequently referred to this matte of a young man saving a part of hh earnings. Wo do so once more, for wo regard this as a matter of supremo im portance in shaping tho future of any young fellow. If a young man cannot and will not save any money before ho is 25, with no ono but himself to pro vide for, he will iu all probability bc a poor mau as long as he lives. i? m m - The information comes from Phila delphia that the present coal strike has cost thc United States nearly thirteen and a half million of dollars, and the greater part of thc burden, of course, falls on Pennsylvania. When the strike was declared 14:1,000 men were employed in tho collieries of tho State. Of this number hardly 0,000 aro now at work. The average rate of wages per montli for miners is $:17. In wages tho strikers have given up about $5,000, 000. During the same time the coal companies and individual mino opera tors have loRt four millions. Loder the Pennsylvania hills and valleys lio 4,000,000 tons of coal that, but for the miners' strike, would now be on tho market. Tho railroad companies that would have transported this great quantity had there been no strike, have I lost $4,440,000. Tho cost to tho people / of the State for supporting troops dur ing the lind, month of thc strike has been $84,700. More than 1,000 railway employees have been forced into idle ness by the strike. The wages these men lost amount to $02,500. Strikes do not pay. Entire, and as Advertised. While some circus manager* think it excusable aud smart to try and tool nil the people all the time, those of The Great Adam Foropaugii and ?Seil?

Were ita physical possibility which it is not, never was, and never will be-to ?livide their exhibition, they would never attempt it, because they aim to do just what they agree ann advertise to do, by rich and poor, high and low, old und young, and every- i where, under all circumstances, to treat i each and all generously, honestly and impartially.

A short, crop does not make him think of commiting suicide or rob ing his neighbor. Ile lum learned to labor on. AH prosperity and progress is dependent on these shaggy, tou^b, yet staunch tillers of t lie. fields. The farmer is the connecting link between Hod and the great world, and thus the contrifugal force of so great a upbore ns the world will exert an inconipre- ( hensible pressure on the connecting' machinery. I was just thinking about the oninion entertained by some of our brother Northern cranks concerning us. But it is natural for everyone lo think Hint hu is living in 'mo-most fav ored part of tho world. So tho idea of our Northern friends that we aro indo lent, slothful and incapable of execut ing the higher arts of life, can only be attributed to their partial and preju dicial understanding of nature's uni versality. We havo let the outside world draw UH ott'into too much "busi ness." lt is tho wrong thing for us to haul cotton to town to sell it to a man who is going to hire n railroad to carry it up North to ii man who will weave it and biro a lilroad to bring it back here again. There aro a great many people concerned in carrying our pro duce to and from the North, and tho wages of everyone of these como from tho producer. Our people should con tinue to produce their homo necessaries until there shall have been established n sufficient number of mills to utilize our cotton right at home. But they say old Eve used to get after Adam and tell him to stay at home and let other people alone,'but 1 supposo he didn't do it, and it seems the same is our destiny. Bon AMATEUR. Mt. Zion Items.
