Yilas, late of President Cleveland's cabinet, says that the Democrat?" slogan in the west this year will be "down with protection.'' .lie thinks battles can be won through the use of that rally. It is hard to explain the vast differ ence between the salaries of horse jockeys and college presidents, de clares an exchange. It might be ex plained on the ground that there is simply more money in the bookies than in books. Dr. A. 1*. Montague has resigned as President of Furinan University and accepted the presidency of How ard College, near Birmingham, Ala. Not only the Baptist denomination but the whole State suffers a distinct loss in his removal from* South Caro lina. The South, which has been Mr. Bryan's warm friend and local sup porter, has had enough of him. It will follo'.v him no longer. While it has no apologies for its past course, it has given indication that it will no longer follow an impractical leader on dead and hopeless issues. The latest venture in journalism in South Carolina is the Easley Progress, the first number of which was issued last week. It makes a most credit able appearance, and we gladly wel come it to our exchange list. Maj. D. F. Bradley, the founder of the Pickens Sentinel, is the editor, and J. Lathem the business manager. Kasley is a live, progressive town, and her citizens will no doubt give The Prog ress a liberal support. Automobiles, trolley cars and bicy cles are gradually encroaching on the field of service hitherto occupied ex clusively by the horse, and the latter is being gradually crowded out of the big cities as a beast of burden. In 1901 the total number of horses iu Paris according to a municipal census, was 90,098. This year there are only 90,790, a decrease of six per cent. In London, Berlin, Yienna and St. Petersburg a decrease of ten per cent, has ocourred in the same period. In New York it is estimated that there are not more than two-thirds the num ber of horses employed as were used there twenty years ago. The Electri cal Review, in commenting on the de cline of the horse, thinks that in the course of time the progress of en gineering will develop methods which will totally extinguish it as a beast of burden in all cities. ? * mm According to a bulletin issued by the census bureau the farm property of South Carolina is valued in the aggregate at $153,591,159. Of this amount $99,805,800 represents the value of lands; $20,955,070 the value of buildings; $G,029e870 the value of machinery; and $20,199,859 the value of live stock. The farm lands of the State co ver an area of 13,985,014 acr?s. Ninety acres is given as the average size of farms in the State, while in 1850 the average size was 541 acres. There has been a gradual decreasi each ten years since the half century mark was passed. The farms now number 155,355, and of them 85,381 are operated by negroes. The farm products of the State for 1899 repre sented a value of $08,200,912. Cotton is the principal crop and the cotton lands constitute 05 per oent of the entire farm area. It is suggested by a number of citi zens that it would be a good time now to adopt the plan of public instal lation of our city officers. Aside from the fact that Anderson has reached a position of importance among cities which calls for the investiture of city office by appropriate ceremonies. The plan ot inauguration* proposed wo-'ld furnish an opportunity for the people to see face to face those who are to have charge of the city's affairs, and to hear an expression from them as to their conception of the duties they are invested with. The city has an elegant hall fully equipped for suoh an occasion. The inducting into office with solemnity, such as taking the prescribed oath and the formal trans fer of the city's seal, followed by ad dresses from the retiring Mayor, the new Mayor and those of the Aldermen who are gifted in oratory, would form a program interesting to the men and entertaining to the ladies. For many years this country has led all others in the number of its rail ways and the total of their mileage. The last six months have put the Uni ted States still further ahead in this respect. The railroad construction during this period carried us beyond the 200.000 mark of railway mileage. The 2,311 miles added then increased our total railway mileage to 201,839 j The record of the iirst half of thi i year i.s r>0D miles ahead of that of the first half of last year. The next six months will increase the railroad mile age of this country even more greatly than it has grown since the beginuing of the year. It is estimated conser vatively that the total railway con struction in the United States for 1902 will exceed li.OOO miles, whereas the total construction for 1901 was 5,222. For the first half of this year the bouth and southwest .".ill lead with 1,933 miles out of the total of 2,314 in the last six months. This exten sive railway construction indicates a vast increase of the industrial and commercial interests of the country, and the splendid showing made by the south indicates that this section is progressing relatively more rapidly than any other part of the 1'nited States.

' MAKE HAT WHILE THE SUN SHINES !" It is very easy to make Hay while the sun shines if you have A DEERING MOWER and RAKE. THE many advantages the Deering Mower has enables the operator to work it with much more ease than any other machine, and no time lost in go ing around stumps and trees. This Machine is so constructed that the driver is at no trouble in lowering and raising the cutter bar in passing stumps and trees. With no effort scarcely he brings the cutter bar to an upright position without stooping the Machine. There are many other advantages the Deer ing Ideal Mower baa that we will show you when you want a Mower. The Pitman Rod of this Mower has only two pieces, while all other Machines have from ten to twenty-five pieces to wear out and be replaced. The Mower is not all in looking up an outfit. It is essential to have a good Rake, and the Deeriog Rake is the simplest Rake on the market. A comparison of our Rake with other makes will convince any farmer that it is the Rake he needs. The devices for dumping are so constructed that a child can operate it without any assistance. If you aro in need of an outfit let os show you our Mower and Rake and he convinced. Now is the time to sow your stubhli land in Peas and harrow them in with one of our TORRENT HARROW8. We are still headquarters for an lines of Hardware, Nails and Wire.
