Intelligencer. Fublistml vcery Wednesday. J. F. Ci.inkscai.k8, t Editors an? C. C. LaNOSTON, i PROPRIETORS. TERMS ONE YEAR, --- - $1 60 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1902. The new cotton mills aud enlarge ment of established mills in the Southern States for the tir?t >ix months of this year will add 500,000 spindles and require a capital nf ?10, 000,000. The entire subject oi' the new grad ed school building ought now to be dropped until after the city election so soon to be held. Meantime public sentiment will crystalize, and what the people want the Council to do will be fully understood. President llartzog, of Clcmson Col lege, has been elected and has accept ed the presidency of the State Agri cultural College of Arkansas. His successor will be elected at the next meeting of tbo Board of Trustees. This is a happy solution of the recent trouble at Clemson fer both Dr. llartzog and the College. The rains for the past few days will greatly help the crops. We were needing the rain very much in this section, but the prospect for a fine cotton crop is good. Nothing, how ever, is certain until it is a reality. Our farmers were scartely|ever more in need of a good crop and a good price than they are this year. According to the Adjutant General of Illinois the mobs that have been chasing negroes in that State, beat ing the life out of them, breaking up their schools and destroying their crops really have the kindest sort of feelings for the colored brother. In faot, they lovo him so well that tbey just can't keep their bande off of him. -UM I mB? The recent Georgia and Texan Demo cratic State Conventions, following [be lead of the Democratic conven tions of Indiana, Illinois, Pennsyl vania and other States, adopted a platform dealing entirely with State j issues and neglecting any mention of the last National Democratic plat form. It is now in order for Mr. Bryan to denounce the Democrats of both these States. The first step toward Democratic viotory for the national ticket in 11104 iB Demooratic harmony in 1902.. From now onward, "Get Together and Act Together" in support of the vital principles of Democratic government and administration, should be the watohword of every Dcmoorat, wheth er he be in the ranks or in the loft iest position of leadership. Selfish maloontents are now of no use to the great historic party of Jefferson, Jack SGii and Tiiden. They injure the cause they profess to serve. Divid ing the masses into factional and hos tile camps, they are giving the most effective aid possible to the hereditary enemy of the Democratic party. In pursuing this course we shall not con demn them as insincere, but most as suredly tbey lack wisdom if not polit ical sanity. A constitutional question has de veloped in our city politics which may have some influence in the approach ing primary. The question is, can a member of tbo Board of Trustees of the city schools hold?at the same time the office of Mayor or Aldermen? The constitution says, "no persou shall hold two offices of honor or profit at tbe same time," an exception being made in the office of Notary Public and office in the militia. Two offices of the nature of those above mention ed have been and are now held in this city by one person, but the question was never before raised. There can be no doubt as to the right of a citizen to be a candidate for office while hold ing an office, but it would seem that election to and acceptance of the new office would by operation of law ter minate all rights to the old office. If this be good law (and there is little doubt of it), grave legal questions could arise from matters passed upon by those holding two offices at the same time. It will surprise many to learn of the immense amount of coffee consumed annually by the people of this coun try. According to recent official re ports the amount imported by this oountry the past fiscal year was 850, 000,000 pounds. The total amount produced last year was 1,800,000,000 pounds and this country is easily ?rst in the consumption of the delightful beverage. While there is some op position to coffee drinking, it seems to have little effect on its consump tion, as the figures show a continual increase. Reputable physicians have never taken any decided stand agaiust the use of coffee. In some cases, it* use isadviacd and in others prohibited. Th? greatest opposition comes from patent medicine venders, and others who have substitutes to sell. In the meantime coffee continues to maintain :i long load as the chief American beverage, and i; would doubtless be a life tiaic ta.sk to at tempt to convince the average Amer ican that his favorite morning cup is unwholesome. Mr. Sullivan Resigns Trusteeship. Anderson, S. C, July '.'2, 190-2. Hon. 1J. V. Tolly, Mayor : .Sir: It being doubtful if I can legal ly hold at one and at the Rame time the position of School Trustee and the ollico of Mayor under the Constitution of the State, and it being somewhat questionable in my mind as to the ' compatibility" of these two positions under the common law restriction?*, I prefer to have our boIiooIb on the safe Hide, ami hereby I ender my resignation as school trustee, to take effect at once. I take this action now in order to avoid any possible embarrassment that might otherwise arise in the event of my election to the ollico of Mayor, and to enable the Council to hold an elertion for my succeHaor with the least possible inconvenience to tlie public. With pardonable pride I recall the fact that I was the first man to take a decided step toward the establishment of our present public school system, and I regard my efforts during the pnst eight years in the interest of these schools as the moBt satisfactory work of my life. Respectfully submitted, J. M. Sullivan. The Confederate Reunion. General Thomas W.

Oyster Hay, July 21.?Senator Mc Laurin has declined the position ol justice in the United States Court oi Claims offered to him by President Roosevelt when the Senator visited the President here a week ago last Satur day. His declination was submitted in a letter received by the President late this evening. Euclosed in the letter was a clipping from a South Carolina paper in which Senator McLaurin was charged with selling himself politically for the justiceship. Senator Tillman, who recently as saulted Senator McLaurin on the llooi of the Semite, said a few days ago that he would light any effort to give Mc Laurin the otlice. The position is worth $8,000 and the appointment is for life. It is said here that President Roosevelt will offer Mc Laurin a position with the isthmian cnual commission. Brushy Creek News.

Vedie. July 21. MEET THE HIGH PRICE OF MEAT. How Farmers Can fttafc Money Out of Cattle. The Best Food Right at Home. What makes the. price of beef so high? The price of anything Is high either because the demand outstrips the supply, or because of some combi nation of dealers to artificially raise the prie--. , - ." . But v. hoth'er' a price Is naturally or artificially high, the remedy Is th? same?greater production on an inde pendent basis. Fortunately for con sumera of beef, and fortunately for the southern favmer, there is no trust or combination that can prevent a most lavish production of beef, if only the way is pointed out. The breeding of cattle on a farm, at least In an unsystematic manner. !s natural and almost spontaneous. But in the absence of some systematic way to follow up the subject, and select the proper animals, and care for them through the winter, and finally prepare them to make fat. tender beef, there Is no proper beef production on the farm. The farmer in the cotton region Is surrounded with all the elements to make beef raising successful. The climate is such that there Is natural forage most of the year. It requires just a little forethought to provide for the few winter months. The mate rial?cheap material?is always at hand, cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls. The meal and hulls are offered Just as you want them by the Southern Cotton Oil company, of the Carolinas and Georgia, and may be bought at any of the local mills or from head quarters ot Columbia. S. C Atlanta, Oa.. Savannah. Ga., or Charlotte. X. C. Mixed In the proper proportion, this makes the most nutritious and ac ceptable feed that Is now available. It is n feed, which by varying the propor tions will answer equally well for a sustaining ration or for a fattening ration, it contains all the ingredients of null it ion. namely, fat. nitrogen und carbohydrates. The cotton seed meal contains fat and ni trogen.and the hull contains carbohydrates. A good sustaining ration is made up >f 21 pounds of hulls and 4 pounds of meal per day, and a good fattening ration is Jo pounds of hulls and 6 pounds of meal. These proportions In both eases must be varied to suit in dividual cases, according to the con dition and taste of the animal. In fattening cattle, the ration should be gin with more hulls and less meal and the proportion'of meal gradually in creased. A steer may be fattened ana put Ui good condition for the market m t I'J pounds of cotton seed meal and one ton of hulls. At average prices, the cost of this food in the southern States would be about $9.00. There is meat profit in fattening heef for the market, even at ordinary pi n es. but at present the Industry rdiould prove unusually attractive. The following estimate of the profit that ' an easily be made in this business is taken from a book which has been carefully prepared on this subject, "Cotton and Cotton Oil," by D. A. Tompkins.

Sloan Whitficld, a sou of Mrs. Sallie I Whitlleld, departed this life at his home at Autun on Thursday, July IT. 1002, in the 25th year of his age. lie had been an invalid for more than n year, and his death was not unexpect ed. Mr. Whitlield was a most worthy young man and a devoted Christian, having been converted to Christ, under the preaching of Rev. J. P, Singleton, about live years ago. He joined the Townvillo Baptist Church and was a most exemplary member. He bore his illness with patience, and often ex pressed himself as being perfectly re signed to the will of God, who doeth all things well. The deceased leaves a mother, two brothers and four sisters to cherish his memory, and in their sore bereavement they have the sym pathy of a wido circle of friends. On the day following his death there mains were carried to Townvillo and interred in the Baptist Churchyard, Rev. T. C. Ligon conducting the fun eral services. May God bless the be reaved family, who have the consola tion of knowing that their loved one is now at rest in Heaven. A Friend. On July 7, 1002, the Death Angel crossed the threshold of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hawkins and took from their hearts and home their baby boy, who had been loaned to them only two short yearn. His little life had t-rrined itself around the hearts of the devoted parents so closely that when his pure spirit winged its flight to realms above their heart-strings seem ed to break.
