Intelligencer. Published every Wednesday. J. F. CLINKSCALKS, ) EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, s PROPRIETORS. TERMS i ONE YEAR, - - - - $1 50 S1X MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1901. . The State Democratic Convention of Ohio met last week and nominated Col. James Kilbournc for Governor. The Convention declared against Bryan and his platform. The cost of the Hoer South African war has already reached an amount double that of the Crimean war. Great Britain is paying dear for what little gain there may be i;. thc con quest of thc two republics. ?mw * mm The dividends being paid by indus trial enterprises throughout the coun try this month do not look so well after all when considered in connec tion with thc number of strikes that are now on. Kcal prosperity would mean that labor sheuld also get some of the profits. .mm- . m The country is uct to bc enlight ened with the full details of the Chinese campaign, the war depart ment undertaking to judge what shall be published and what not of the re port of (icu. Chaffce. This imperial idea of censorship is ill befitting a re public where ull arc entitled to all the information that its public servants report. - mm . - ? One of thc big insurance companies is going to put total abstainers in a special class of policy holders, and if their death rates prove less than in the class where drinking is permitted a lower price for insurance will bo made them. Temperance and virtue have their own reward, but a tip on the sido from the insurance companies will not come amiss. mm o m It is stated that there are sixteen candidates for Congress in tho Seventh District to succeed thc late Dr. Stokes. The Democratic State Executive Com mittee will meet in Columbia next Tuesday to fix a date for the primary election. The campaign promises to be a lively one, and tho voters of that District deservo thc sympathy of thoir fellow-democrats throughout the State. A folder issued by a Southern rail way shows that at the end of 11)00 there were 405 textile mills along the lines of its system, being a gain of ninety-four mills with 22,185 looms and 1,137,500 spindles during tho year. Of these mills sixty-six aro in Georgia, thirty-three in Alabama, 150 in North Carolina, and 102 in South Carolina, the others being in Tennes see, Kentucky, Missouri and Virginia. The industrial art edition of the Columbia State is on our table. It unquestionably takes rank above any similar publication that has previous ly been attempted in South Carolina, and rellects great credit upon the en terprising publishers. There aro a hundred pages of tho edition, many of them illustrated, thc cotton mill in dustry of South Carolina being spe cially exploited. In short, the edition is broad in conception, able in produc tion, neat in execution and may bc well treasured by every Carolinian. A publication of this kind is of far reaching benefit to tho whole State. Mr. A. W. Love, Superintendent of the South Carolina State exhibits at thc Inter-State and West Indian Ex position in Charleston, spent yester day in thc city in conference with members of our general County com mittee. It is time that something in reference to our County exhibit was being done, and tho committee will hold a meeting at au early date and go to work in earnest. Other Counties have already gone to work, and An derson, thc best County in thc State, must not lag behind. Our County can make a fine exhibit of her products and resources, and wo must do it. This is a work that some of our ener getic women can take a hand in, and wo hope they will be ready to co-oper ate with the general committee when it begins its work. In this day of vexatious scramble over the mighty dollar it is hard to tell how much thc Sabbath has sweet ened human life. Day after day thunders on. Each one is laden with care, and thought and worry and busi ness. It comes beating in on us like a mighty wave. We may be able to stand up against ono of them, two of them, but by thc tinta thc sixth wave has thundered in upon us. we begin to stagger. But thon tho seventh comes with waves of healing. It is the Sabbath. It is the day of rest. And thus in our lives there are six layers of care and conflict, and ono layer of Heaven. Six times the shut tics leap across tho loom of our lives carrying a silver thread. And so the weaving goes on, from year to year, until the loom stops and God cuts off the threads which have been going It is said that thc Hon. William N. Graydon, of Abbeville, will bc a candidato for Congress next year from thc third District, livery County in District will probably have one or more candidates in the field. The Philadelphia Record concludes that we arc still a nation of* farmers since incomplete census returns show that in liiOO there were 5,700,000 farms under cultivation as compared with 4,504,091 in 1800. This may be deemed a remarkable increase, show ing that the growth of our industries is symmctorical, thc farmers keeping in pace in thc inarch forward. The single discouraging feature of the situation is the increase of tenant farming. Thin is accounted for'j how ever, to some exteut%y the lease of lands by immigrants who are intend ing purchasers. As thc aroa of un occupied arable lands in the United States becomes less and less it is alto gether probable that future censuses of thc country will show a compara sse decline in the number of farms. The heavy increase in thc past ten years is in thc nature of a surprise, though the inducements of fine crops and fair prices have doubtless given a spur to land investments since lB'.'G. Holland's Store. Wo lind a very good rani in this vicinity last Saturday night. Crops aro growing very nicely. Our farmers ure about through plowing cotton, mid it will only need one more plowing.
