Intelligencer. Published every Wednesday. J. F. CLINKSCALKB, i EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, S PROPRIETORS. T?l?M8?~ ONE YEAR, - - - - $1 BO SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, AUG 28, 1901. lt is claimed that great as is our an nual wheat crop it does not exceed the production of poultry and eggs. This is ?lue to the fact that a large propor tion of poultry is kept in the suburbs of cities, towns and villages, the farms not producing more than one-half. It is almost impossible to get a correct census of thc poultry and eggs pro duced in thc United States, as but few keep records of thor fowls. We notice from our exchanges that several towns aro diligently enforcing the vagrant law. This is a good idea and is worthy of emulation by many other towns in the State. We think a few doses of it administered hot tn Anderson would be helpful, and have a tendency to rid the town of some of thc loafing clements. Make them show their hand, get to work or skip the gutter. Wo have no room in this city for loafers and idlers. -.-mm- m, m - There were to be no more labor troubles, was the song of thc trust promoters not long ago, but the steel strike has dispelled that bright vision. Their reasoning was plausible, but specious. The very vastness of tho trusts would prevent thc labor unions from lighting them. And, of course, these huge corporations wcro to bc managed so wisely that strikes would be out of tho question; they would both work in unison for the largo profits and big wages. 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 accounts of lynchings. They are not confined to any one section of the country, though the greater number have occurred in the South. The usual crime has caus ed the majority of these lynchings, and yet there have boon some cases of lynching for other crimes. This leads one into much thought on tho subject. The crime for which lynching is a opeciSc remedy ison the increase, and despite the efforts ?o enforce the law lynchings are on thc increase. Just what is to bo done to remedy this state of affairs cannot be said. It is a problem that will tax tho wisdom of the people for years to come. Somo interesting statistics have re cently boen given out showing the wonderful degree of efficiency which haB been attained by tho United Statea postal system. During the past fiscal year not ICBS than 8,000,000,000 pieces of postal matter wero handled by the government. Yet the number of complaints filed in Washington, D. C., on aeoount of tho non-reoeipt ef letters was comparatively small. So far as the records show only 52,306 letters and 47,949 paokages failed to be delivered. Considering tho tre mendous bulk of the business carried on in the postal service, there is very little interference with the mails and the risk is reduced to almost nothing. So thorough is tho 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 tho suggestion that a Southerner should be nominated on the Democratic national ticket in 1904, the Mobile (Ala.) Register says : "What we want is a good sandidate, a winner, and we do not care where he comes from provided he is a winner. We have no prejudiee against a north ern man. Indeed, wo do not think sectionalism should bo considered. We want to win beoause we deserve to win, and not .?j posing a Southern man as a Southern candidate." 'The Democratic party is, by tradition, his tory and instinct, absolutely non-sec tional. Its great successes have been won when its platforms were so fram ed as to be applicable to all sections, or rather to no particular section. Its greatest reverses havo occurred when (as in 1860 and in 1896) sectionalism was rampant in the national conven tion. Tho Mobile Register has the right idea.' We want thc best candi dates, no matter where tl.- y come from, and the most sensible platforms -and then let the Republicans look out for trouble. - mm ? m Last Thursday Gov. McSweoncy granted a full pardon to W. A. Neal, tho former superintendent of the State Penitentiary, who was recently on vic ted 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 Riehlahd Connty jail. Largely signed petitions were sent from a num ber of counties, and many prominent / citizens from various seotions of tho ?tato wrote personal letters to the Governor asking for tho pardon. The Judge and niue of the jury also asked iiES^---. .. 'rr-~^m*~~?~-m for the pardon. I'oder the cirouni- ! ?tances the Governor rn? doubt did tho best thing that eould be dom:. In this section, however, there is con siderable difference of opinioa in ie- ? gard to the matter, some believing that as he has been prosecuted aud convicted in open Court thc ends of justice have been met, while others j think he should have served his full sentence. Attorney-General Bellin ger has issued a strong protest against the action of the Governor, his chief grounds ol'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 come t> an end and the matter should be dropped. Neal is a free man, but he can never again be honored with a position of public trust. Farmer Finds Pot of Gold. HUNTSVILLE, ALA., Aug. 22.-Poor ? ycsroruuj uno nen nm.tv m un- naji|i> ? condition of Frank Jacks and family, J who live about, seven miles east of New i Market, a small town on the Nashville, ' Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad. It is reliably reported that Mr. Jacks found a pot ol'gold buried near a spring on Mountain Fork river. The value of the pot of gold is estimated at between $20,000 and $"?0,000. Mr. Jacks has little to say when quer ied by members of the press or his friends; in fact, he will not own up to anything further thou that ho found the pot. Reliable citizens who live near Mr. .lacks state that he is au entirely changed man in every way, presuma bly being the result of his rich and un expected lind, which was the result of digging around the spring. When his pick lirst struck the pot little attention was paid to it, but fur ther digging disclosed the bright nug gets. It is reported that Mr. Jacks has do Eosited the money in a Tennessee bank, ut this cannot be verified; however, it is a fact that he has made large cash payments on valuable tracts of land near New Market in the past few days. Citizons who havo lived in tho Wells precinct for the past sixty-one years say no onehan lived there Who wnsable to have left the amount Mr. Jacks is reported to have found, and tho theory is that the gold must have been hidden there during the time of 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 ever been in any politi cal deal or trade and that any intima tion that ho has made a trade in tho Neal matter is absolutely untruo. Ho says he pardoned Neal on account of his wife and family much more than on Neal's account. Noal has always been opposed to him and in his race for lieu ton ant governor opposed nnd worked against him and ho is, ho thinks, too mach of a judge of people to think that Neal will ever again wield the iniluonco that ho once did in politics. The governor says he is re sponsible to the general assembly and the people for his pavdons, all of which are conscientiously made 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.
