Secretary Hester, of the New Or leans Cotton Exchange, puts the totul American crop for thc past year at 10,383,-122 bales, lt is the general opinion that thc coming crop will not equal that of last year. The Atlanta .lourmil cites the ca>e ol'a Georgia farmer who, cultivating .100 acres of land, and diver ifying his products, nets about ?5,000 a year on ai. investment of, say, $?10,000. And yet t'ne sons of farmers Hock to thc cities for small salaries atol hard work. The Winnsboro .Wir? nul Ihrohl >ayv "Col. M. Ii. ?uii, private secre tary to Governor MeSwccney and editor of the Ihrohl mol News ol' Newberry, it is said, will be in the race for Secretary of State." Col. Aull would make a most cflicicnt olli cial, and it would give us great pleas ure to see him elected. - ^ o ? - Thc estimated number of bushels offbeat raised in thc United States this year is now put at 700,000,000 .100,000,000 of wiuter and liOO.UUO.OOO of spring crop. Thc price of wheat at present is less than it was at the same time last year although the ex ports have been over a 1,000,000 daily since the first of July. Thc committee appointed at the re cent annual meeting of thc State Alliance to take charge of thc work of reorganizing tho order in this State, has held several meeting and done con siderable preliminary wi k. Now if the organizations will drop politics and politicians and work for thc interests of thc farmers it can accomplish great good for its members. You may help ix dog out of trouble, and no matter what kind of a dog he is-clay dog, country dog or illiterate, aristocrat or plebe-and ho will wag his tail into paralysis and exhaust every muscle in his body trying to tell you that every drop of blood in his veins is at your service. Help a mau out of a ditch and what he will do for you afterwards depends greatly on his breed. There are plenty of men who arc not as good as a dog in more re spects than one. In discussing tho attempted assas sination of President McKinley, con gressman George A. Pear, of Mary land, is quoted in the press dispatch es ns Baying: "I will offer a bill in tho next congress of the United States amending the constitution BO as to make an unsuccessful attempt upon the life of a president of tue nation troason and the penalty death. The man who strikes at the nation's head it a publio enemy and should be treated as such." Just such a law is needed, and will be approved by every intelligent and patrotic citizen of tho United States. Why is it that we so easily forget that the little things of life are what make it easy or hard? A few pleas ant words, a warm hand clasp, a cor dial letter, are simple things, but they are mighty in their influence on .the life of those about us, adding a ray of hope to many disconsolato hearts, giv ing a bit of courage to disappointed, weary ones, and helping to make our own lives sweeter at thc same time. Few people realize how much the lit tle attentions of every day life mean, to their associations in the homo, the church, the business place. It is generally a lack of consideration which makes one forget thc tiny pleasan tries, but lack of consideration is real ly one form of selfishness and is not considered a desirable quality. He member that thc little things in life, whether good or bad, count for more with those wo love than wo ever know, and wc should be watohful of our actions and our words. The nineteenth century witnessed great advancement in thc treatment of disease. Scientists now agree that the time has come for an organized warfare on thc ills that flesh is heir to. Man has hitherto acted largely on the defensive in his combat with thc enemies which are constantly threat ening his existence. Until within re cent years thc feeling has been rife that the position of tho enemy was impregnable, that thc only thing to be done was to try to ward off the blows. But this feeling has changed, and it is now freely prophesied that in a few years tuberculosis, cholera, yellow fever and many other dreaded disoases will have lost their terrors. What the use of antiseptic? has done for surgery scientists are now hoping to do for the treatment of disease in gen eral. Tho plan of Warfare will doubt less include the extermination of the mosquito, improved sanitation, thc draining of swamps and marshes, and the employment of . numerous preven tives. The aim will bo to keep man in health rather than merely to oure him of di8oaso3 when they have once been acquired. < The attempted assassination of President McKinley last Friday is a crime so black that language fails to paint its turpitude. When the tele graphic wires flashed thc sad announce ment throughout this great country the people were greatly shocked. There was no excuse for thc act, for William McKinley is boyond a doubt the best and most popular man thc Republican party has ever elevated to thc IVesidcntal chair. No man could Hay ought against his persona!, char acter, for he is a devoted Christian and of course, an exemplary citizen. His death would bc a public calamity, and, the prayers of thc good people in every section <>f the I'nited States are ^oiug daily io the throne of the Al mighty pleading for his speedy recov ery. _ Portman Letter. T'n?h iulier should bu dated f. om Pied mont. Some reader will Hay: "What's tho matter with Piedmont? Why HO fre quent mention ol Piedmont in a Port man letter?" Simply this: Piedmont is tho correspondent's home. Who don? not love their home? Who doo? not HCO in itu plain surroundings the witcheries of unusual beauty? Who dooH not linger over itH DHino an tho oyo would wander over a Hpray of il oowors-hesitating ovor i's iHHt ny Hubie as tha oye would Levitate over tho last devoted blossom in thu .spray? Tuen the frieuds of home; how their eyes rbvoal new beauty of character, how tho lesson of love und devotion and suf fering which you wore too busy to notice before, now speak eloquently from oyo and lip and action; aud you think how blind are the senses which jostle against each ollie,- day by day! The jostling rasps the tine edges ot susceptibility, re moves its acuteness, tnakoH you dull of understanding toward the things that aro best in your friend, makes you intensely acuto toward those which are not faults in your friend, but Irritations in yourself caused by tho raspings. How excellent are partial exclusions from society. The Saviour knew this, and whoo worn with the press of tho mob upon him retired to a mountain, when the spirit groaned with the infirmities of the human flesh which pressed upou the delicacy of the soul Ile sought the loneli ness ot the wilderness, or the seclusion of tho garden where He would pray, and think And grow strong In the intimacy with nature and in freedom from the joHllingn of material lif* which wear most uf.nn the finest natures. People from cities alBO know this well. The irrita tions of the ineessaut grind which cut deep into the soul, filing away in con stant wasto tho precious years which should survive only to prolong the hap piness of tho creature toward its Creator, the grind which makes the average life of the citizen ?15 years, and which re moved--say In the country-makes life's average (?0. This is the grind that in the household, in a less degroe, makes the visage of the loving mother sour, and the condnct of the devoted father harsh. It is not lack of love or lack of devotion; but the steps in the treadmill of life are too frequent and there is no rest, no change. Change ahould bo one of the provisions of Ufe, in all stations, in all conditions, change should be.as ^eligi?os a relaxation aa the removal of coiled or old clothing tn the exchange for clean and new. The body of the soul becomes haggard and uncomfortable in the sour i ogs of every day occurrences. Over and over and over the soil of common unaltered hap penings weighs upon the spirit and makes it uncomfortable. Change Is needed; a freshing up of incidents, and like the refreshed body the soul la lighter, merrier, better fitted for exalted labora and energetic struggles. Where there ls a lack of change there ls a monotony of existence 'hat crushes the EOUI within Its narrow bounds; the fragrance that should issue from life is buried beneath the crumbled 'walla of fallen aspirations and the dead sameness only gives forth stag nant odors, and often the ruin of a life. The mother, of all individuals, needs change from the petty worries of a house hold, aud the chengo in the mother's countenance after perhaps a little visit somewhere is such an occasion of joy to the father t. - t he accepts this aa a novelty In his life. These meditations are not the dominant experiences of tho correspondent at the old home; but lu an uuder ourrent they accompany the upper stream of pleasure derived from the meeting with friends and the joy of knowing they are glad to see us. We attended our houao pf wtor ship and listened to a fine sermon by the talented young son of Rev. Dr. Preatob, of <; reen ville, and saw the Sabbath School, which is the pride of the Presby ter'an Church at Piedmont, well attend ed and competently, as usual, superin tended under the auspices of Mr. Willie Nesbitt. A young lady WIIOBO beauty, because of her refinement and delicacy we will not mention in connection with her name, told us so many are speaking of Portmar. Wo wished to say a great many nattering things ourselves about the little place, but really felt a delicacy ID clothing so inuoh airy imagination with importance. We told her there was a river and a dam there and a power house which supplied the city of An derson with light and electric motive power. A hotel on the top of a hill and a little cottage on the summ* of a higher hill-the abode of the correspondent, and there all visible Portman ended. The beauty of Portman is ita natural scenery, the life of Portman ia derived from ita many pleasure excursions whioh picnic, around and among the {rocka and hills These young people seek that chango which sweetens life among the caro-freo breezes and in observation of the em ployees in their work on the dam. In Piedmont we are indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Porter Dodson for their kind ness, and Messrs. John and It. E. Leo and their hospitable wives, \/ho Uvea few miles from Piedmont.
