Intelligencer. Fublishcd'every Wednesday. J. P. CLINKSCAI.ES, \ EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, S PROPRIETORS. TEEMS i ONE YEAR, - - - - $1 60 SIX MONTHS, - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 4, 1901. The next Legislature should take steps to preserve our forests by en acting a law providing for the plant ing of a tree for every one that is cut down. -- m . mm Thc shortage in the corn crop is estimated at 070,000,01)0 bushels, and it is predicted by some people that it will bc worth il.25 a bushel next spring. - m . ?? It is hard to compute the cost of the great battle between labor and capital. Some ol' the items cannot be measured by dollars. Let us hope that none of the cp?t will bo in flesh and blood. Arrange your plans early to attend the 'XWd annual State l'air at Colum bia, Oct. 2Sth to Nov. 1st, and if you have anything to exhibit send to Col. Thos. W. Holloway, Secretary, at Po maria, S. C., for a premium list at once. The Augusta Herald says thc ?dca of Iiishop Turner for settling tho negro problem is receiving a great deal of attention. With it all, however, the negro and thc mule will never leave the southern cottou ?elds. They fit too well. With good crops and a good fall trade, Anderson ought to enjoy a largo meas !"e of prosperity and inau gurate e few moro manufacturing en terprises thin winter. Wc can do it if every progressive citizen will put his shoulder to the wheel. Americans are admittedly at the front of tho world in electrical ap pliances. They havo achieved this position by slow, steady progress, -the accumulative effect of thousands of inventors, each of whom added a little to progress, while making a profit for himself. - mm . mm -- When it is considered that 25,000 patents aro issued annually by the United States- - nearly four times as many as all thc balance of tho world it is not surprising that she should lead all other nations in labor saving and expediting machinery, thus plac ing ber io tho forefront of all matorial productions. Tho Twentieth Century edition of the Greenwood Index is on our table. It contains 24 pages, the mechanical part is very good, the illustrations and matter are interesting and instructive, and reflects great credit upon the en terprising publishers. A publication of this kind ?B of far reaching benefit, not onlv to QreenwnQil County, but to the whole State of South Carolina. We are in receipt of a very neat and interesting pamphlet of 31 pages, illustrated with maps and diagrams, entitled "Charleston And Its Exposi tion," the author of which is Alex. D. Anderson. It sets forth Charleston's advantageous position and her indus trial and commercial future, and shows much work and deep thought on the part of -the author. Such a publica tion will prove beneficial to the grand old city. A matter of keen interest to home folks is the increasing scarcity in the supply of cotton ties throughout the cotton growing States. Unless early relief bo forthcoming they can be had only at a premium. The price iu Savannah, which is tho distributing station for all ties cast of the Missis sippi, has gone from $1.05 to $1.25. This shortage is ooo of the fruits of the steel strike, and can only end when that is declared oil. Thc pension disbursements -of the United States are becoming enormous. Thirty-six years away from thc sur render at Appomattox and yet an alarming increase. There is no way to account for it, savo on the ground of gross and palpable fraud. ' The purse of thc government is systemati cally filched by peusion thieves. There was only nn expenditure dur ing General Grant's first term of $2i> 03-1,009 per annum, and during his second term it showed a decrease. Then the figures commenced to climb, and now stand at tho enormous figures of $140,000,137 per annum. And still they increase. There are now on the pension rolls 997,735 names, a number nearly twice as large as ?he entiro number of soldiers enlisted in all of the Confederate armies. And to that number will soon be added thousands who served in the Philippine war. '.' here seems to be no end to this rob bery, and yet we are prone to call this a free government. Notice to Contractors. Bids will be received for tho building of tho Central Presbyterian Church at Anderson, S. C., until September 20th. Right to reject any and all bids re served.

C., Sept. 8. Continue il from Fi ot l'ag?. be given any Federal position und lie told him if be wanted to do anything for his people ho would be glad to co operate with him. The President is ac; autocrat. He is a bravo, humane aud broad-minded man. Ho explained the position here to tho President and ho bad tried to put theoflices in Iho hands ot' South Carolinians. He could not put Democrats in all the oflices, but he tried to get tho best ho could, aad if he could not get Democrats he got tho most acceptable Republicans. He went to tlie Senate to represent his people ami do the best ho could for them. He highly complimented Co!. Johnstone tor the ability and courtesy o?' his speech. Col. Johnstone had made a great blunder in his subsidy argument. The strongest lobby in the S?mate was the Pacific railroads, and they did not favor the subsidy,*as he claims, but fought it. Mr. Hill, president ot' the Northern l'acitic, fought the subsidy bill all the time. The subsidy bill ami the canal bill have to get together. To this Josh Ashley said the tenth time: "That's the (led's truth.'' The South will iieVer have shipping interests until il gives and takes. A* .o hissilvcr views there was no man but a fool who never changes his mind. He and Col. John stone were too progressive to stiek to a wrong position, ile changed Iiis mind every time he found he waa wrong. He never attacked anyone but tried to de fend himself ns best he could. With feeling he said he would abide the result of the primary. What he regarded as true Democracy was tin; voice of the white people of South Carolina at the ballot-box, and he wanted no committee or boss to come between him and the people. If the white people said he was right then Col. Johnstone would hr ve to como to him (Laughter.) If the? did not en dorse him he would abide tho result and stand by the people. It gave him pleasure to discuss matters with such a man as Col. Johnstone and he would like to discuss the subsidy bill with him. Col. Johnstone agreed to this and this closed the meeting at nearly 0 o'clock. - - - ? ? mm Friendship Items. Wo have been having some unpleas ant weather. It has been raining al most every day for tho past month. It has rained so much until people can scarcely get. of tho house on account of thu mud. I think the farmers all have tho blues.
