Cotton continues to go lo-^er It is now Helling anywhere from 5i to 7 cent*. The outlook for tho cotton planter is anything but encouraging. - am ? mm It must be pretty hurd on John 1). Rockefeller to" think of that 300,000 barrels of oil gushing our. ?if Trias soil, and to remember chat if hi* go*'! into that State a sheriff will lira* him. mm> .? - An aeronaut will attempt to cross the Atlantic, from New York to Paris, in a balloon. II?? will take provisions for forty days. Judging by poor An dre's experience he will need them for a longer time th ?ti that. Tho State printer ha? completed thc printing of thc Act* of the last ses aion of the General Assembly, and they will be forthwith delivered to those entitled to them. Tho volume this year ii a good sized one. With this issue of THE INTELLI GENCER we are able to present in full in a supplement the speech delivered j by Senator McLaurin at Greenville last Wednesday, and conmen*1 it to the oareful consideration of all of our readers. Precautions are taken in Germany, sa it is reported, to hare the Kaiser's .peeehei heard by those only who oan aake proper allowance fer their eccen tricities. It's a pity a like rule ooald ?Ot be adapted in ref renee to many political apeakera in this country. There are two deadly agencies in use all over this land, that bring un told misery to thousands. One is the pistol; the other is tho bottle. Load a mao with liquor and then load his pistol with lead and somebody ?B liable to turn his toes to the daisies. Thc Spartanburg Herald wisely sug gests that if we are going to continue State-ownership of the saloon business a separate and distinct set of courts ought ta be provided to clear up tho law and punish violation: The dis pensary has well nigh monopolized the courts of the State for the past two years, and ordinary business is side tracked. i . - - Margaret Sangster in a reoent arti cle advises young people strongly against runaway marriages. Shr writes that a girl worth wooing is worth waiting for, and a young man who is not enough to common* him ta the parents of the bride in moat caaes is nat the one to take the best of oars of the danghtar. Sha might truthfully have added that ninety per- cent of all runaway matones turn out badly. It's "marry ia haste and repent at leisure." It is now generally believed that the General Assembly will be asked at ita nest session to establish a Soldier's Home for the old disabled Confeder ate Veterans. The money appropri ated for this purposo will be honorably aod rightfully spent. Tho Confeder ate Homes of North Carolina aud Vir ginia have been in existence for years and stand as enduring monuments to the generosity, benevolence and grati tude of the people of those States in recognition of thc services rendered by their veterans. Tia. Stale says Gov. McSweeney is thinking bf calling a State good roads convention to bc held in Columbia some time during thc summer. If the call is issued it will ask thc County Supervisor of each County ta come, appointing aad bringing with him three more delegates from each County. Then also the mayor of eaeh town will bo asked to attend. Tho object will bc to discuss various methods of securing good roads and endeavor to hit upon some general plan looking to the betterment of the public highways ot thc State. We believe the holding of .such a convention will be beue?cial to the whole State, and wc hope Gov. McSweeney will call it. If a man wants to lill his cup of anguish till it runnel h over and slops dowu on one side, just let him try to please everybody for awhile If be goes into politics he i> called a thief, and it he stays out b? is called a U|i patriot io. If he lays up money against a rainy day he is eil lid a miter, and if he casts his dough upon the waters people say he expect- ii IM come back in tko shape nf a winde bakerv If he stund? up f??r his rights he is ??hot sf, and if he doesn't stand np for them he is trodden under foot like a hu bund of a female suf fragisi Tlie only way u mao pleases everybody ts when ho turns his face to the wal', and espites, then the pen pb- haig around hun and ?av things about him that would make him scream with j??y if bis poi?r deaf ears could only hear. The Smith?1?*!! I ...!us!rial Association will hold u convention in Priludclphia Juin: ll Kvrrv Southern Stale ?ill he i**pr?*-eji*ed ?'id ? he. conVeotlOu will probably he one o? th?; largeot aod uio?t reproHunt.ii.ive gatherings of the kind ever attempted m thia country. There is much that can bo done for tho industrial development of the South at thin convention, and its pro ceedings will bo <aiohed with interest. - mm m> mm The resignations of -Senators Mc LaUrin aud . illmaii ha* caused a sen sation throughout ihe State and is the main topic of con vernal ion by every body. There were weveral proposals Huhnnttcd between the two Senator?, hui the dual renignuti >u, a? dually forwarded to Gov. MuSweeaey, were accompanied by no eoiidit ion?? There will probably bu several candidate? in the ti.-ld jgaiiiHt both Tillman and McLaurin, and thin IIIcaII8 ? red 'mt campaign this year in South Carolina, which is certainly ion wanted iiy the people. The (Joii?tiimHOI give? Gov ernor MeSweem > ih<' right to narnu their .?iicces.sors, and we bop?; the State Democratic Executive Commit tee will suggest that he do so without the expense, trouble and woiry of a primar) election. Corner Creek News. The continuance of rain has put a quietus ou ull farm work, HO tanning implements are ata standstilljimtnow, much to the regret of tho anxious la borer of the held, whose products are beginning to need stiring nnH reviving up. Gras* in growing rapidly since the rain, ?nd furnier? are lugging behind with their work, but all wo ask for isa few days of bright sunahine and the "tiHera of the noil" will indeed make good uae of it and proceed to pall the bell cord and we'll assure you that tho woik will be done at a "two forty" gate. The grain is ripening for the harvest, and in a le.v days the eradle will be swinging corkers in the wheat and oat fields to the tnne, "in the har vest field there is work to do." W. G.

Cherries and pluma aro getting ripe Thanks to tho Portman correspon dent for the kind invitation extended to this humble scribe to visit the de lightful and enchanting Portman. We are sorry to say we can't como in May, but perhaps we'll come in June. Mr?. B. F. Gassaway, accompanied by her daughter. Olivia, visited rela tives at Waco last week. News htiB reached us that Senators Tillman and McLaurin have sent in their resignations to Washington. We don'1- know whether it is true, but if they have been so foolish as to resign from being representatives from the D?mocratie Stats cf South Carolina, just merely because McLaurin dared Tillman to resign and run together ii next year's campaign, then we think that they ure plucing a shame upon this banner State of tho Union. If, how ever, anch should bo tho fact and they do decide to enter the race next Sum mer as candidates for the United States Senate, we hope and believe the Junior Senator will win over the "Ben-gall tiger" of South Carolina. Tillman, no doubt, believes that he can get any oflice that he might oak for, but he was already in for six more years and why did he not keep calm and let Lat ?mer and McLaurin tight it out? Will some one please tell usT Ile hus been "boss ing" and dictating f i us about na long as wo wish, so now if he enter? against McLaurin in the campaign next Sum mei' for the Senate, then we think it high time for the voters to wt him huck on the lust sein ami tell him to keep Iiis log mouth clotted in regard to political allai rs of this Stute. Mr. J. M. Hanks, onr clever Town ship Supervisor, says he wil! work out the roads of this section in a few days. Our roads are not needing much work just now. but r. Hanks alway? works them before they get in bad condition, which is certainly the proper idea. Home folks are all well and doing well, so you see that we have nothing to complain about no? but the weath er, but, of course, we are not complain ing about that. News is scarce, so no more at pres ent. Very truly yours, TTRO. Stockholder D' Meeting*.
