It is claimed that great as is our an nual wheat crop it does not exceed the production of poultry and eggs. Thia is due to the fact that a large propor tion of poultry is kept in thc suburbs of cities, townsand villages, thc farms not producing moro than one-halt'. It is almost impossible to get a correct census of the poultry and eggs pro duced in the Knited States, as but few keep records of ther fowls. i- . - ? Wo notice from our exchanges that several towns are diligently enforcing thc vagrant law. This is a good idea and is worthy of emulation by many other towns in thc State. Wc think a few doses of it administered hot iu Anderson would bc helpful, and have a tendency to rid the town of some of thc loafing elements. Make them show their hand, get to work or skip thc gutter. Wo havo no room in this city for loafers and idlers. There were to bc no more labor troubles, was the song of thc trust promoters not long ago, but thc steel strike has dispelled that bright vision. Their reasoning was plausible, but specious. Tho very vastness of tho trusts would prevent the labor unions from fighting them. And, of course, these huge corporations wcro to bo managed so wisely that strikes would be out of the <?\estion; they would both work in VJ'son for tho largo profits and big v ages. It does not seem to work that way, and of course the trusts say the obstinate working man is to blame. Within the past few weeks the press has teemed with acctunts of lynchings. They are not confined to anyone section of the country, though the greater number have occurred in the South. The usual crime has caus ed thc majority of these lynchings, and yet there have been some cases of lynching for other crimes. This leads one into much thought on the subject. The crime for whioh lynching is a Specific remedy ison the increase, and despite tho efforts to enforce the law lynchings are on thc increase. Just what is to bo done to remedy this state of affairs oannot be said. It is a problem that will tax tho wisdom of the people for years to come. Some interesting statistics have re cently been given out showing the wonderful degree of efficiency which has been attained by the United States postal system. During the past fiscal year not less than 8,000,000,000 picoes of postal matter were handled by the government. Yet the number of complaints filed in Washington, I). G., on acoount of tho non-receipt of letters was comparatively small. So far as the records show only 52,306 letters and 47,949 packages failed to be delivered. Considering tho tre mendous bulk of tho business carried on in the postal service, there is very little interference with tho mails and the risk is reduced to almost nothing. So thorough is the system that when ever letters are not delivered it is either because of illegible penmanship on the part of the writer or else on account of train robberies and acci dents. Speaking of the suggestion that a Southerner should be nominated on the Democratic national tioket in 1904, the Mobile (Ala.) Register says : "What we want is a good s an did ate, a winner, and wo do not care where he comes from provided he is a winner. Wo have no prejudice against a north ern man. Indeed, we do not think sectionalism should bo considered. We want to win because we deservo to win, and not by posing a Southern man as a Southern candidate." Thc Democratic party is, by tradition, his tory and instinct, absolutely non-sec tional. Its great successes have beon won when its platforms were so fram ed as to bc applicable to all sections, or rather to no particular section. Its greatest reversos havo occurred when (as in 18G0 and in 189G) sectionalism was rampant in the national conven tion. Tho Mobile Register has thc right idea.* We want tho best candi dates, no matter where they come from, and thc most sensible platforms -and then let the Republicans look out for trouble. Last Thursday 'Gov. McSweenoy granted a fnll pardon to W. A. Neal, the former superintendent of the State Penitentiary, who was recently convicted of failure to turn over the public funds to his successor, and sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000 and serve four months imprisonment in the Richlahd County jail. Largely signed petitions were sent from a num ber of counties, and many prominent citizens from various sections of tbe State wrote personal letters to the Governor asking for tho pardon. Tho Judge and nine of the jury also asked for tho pardon. IJ udor the circum stances the Governor no doubt did thc best thins that could he done. In this section, however, there in con siderable difference of opinioa io io gard to the matter, some believing that as he has been prosecuted and convicted in opeu Court the ends of justice have been met, while others think he should have served hi? fuli sentence. Attorney-General Bellin ger has issued a (drong protest against thc action of the Governor, his chief grounds ot'complaint being that thc Governor did not refer the matter to him, and that he accepted misstate ments without trying to get light. Hut the subject has now ?onie t ? an end and the matter should be dropped. Neal is a free man, but he can never again be houored with a position of public trust. I-farfTlr V'*rifle II... "C /~- ? 1.1 HUNTSVILLE, ALA., Aug. Poor yesterday and rich today is the happy condition of Frank ducks and family, who live about ?oven miles cast of New Market, n sinai] town on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad. it is reliably reported that Mr. .Jacks found a pot ol'gold buried neara spring on Mountain Fork river. Tho value of the pot of gold ?H estimated at between $20,000 and ?80,000. Mr. Jacks lias little to say when quer ied by members of the press or his friends; in fact, lie will not own up to anything further than that ho found the pot. Reliable citizens who live near Mr. .InckB state that he. is an entirely changed man in every way, presuma bly being the result of his rich and un expected lind, which waa the result of digging around the spring. When his pick drat struck tho pot little intention was paid to it, but fur ther digging disclosed the bright nug gets. lt is reported that Mr. Jacks has do Eoui ted tho money innTenuesseebank, ut this cannot be verified; however, it is a fact that he has made large cash payments on valuable tracta of land near New Market in the past few days. Citizens who havo lived in tho Wells precinct for tho past sixty-one years say no one has lived there Who was able to have left lue amount Mr. Jacks is reported to havo found, and tho theory is that tho gold must have been hidden there during the time cf some war and whoever it belonged to never returned to get his fortune.

COLUMBIA, Aug. 20.-The governor to-day gave out an interview in which he denied most emphatically that he is now or has over been in any politi cal deal or trade and that any intima tion that he has made a irado in tho Neal matter is absolutely untrue. He says he pardoned Neal on account of his wife and family much more than on Neal's account. Neal has always been opposed to him and in his race for lieutenant governor opposed and worked against him and he is, ho thinks, too much of a judge of people to think that Neal will ever again wield the iniluenco that he once did in politics. The governor says he is re sponsible to the general assembly and the people for his pardons, all of which aro conscientiously mode and he invites honest criticism of his pardon record and says it will be found to be no larger than that of other governors. He says he has never acted for politi cal effect and does not expect to ever do so.
