Candidates have to stop every now and again in their work of organizing their forces in order to nail sonic campaign lie. The air is full of them. The Cotton States Association of the Commissioners of Agriculture gave their estimate on Friday of thc cotton crop as 9,713,394. The esti mate for South Carolina is 77"),OOO bales, which is 15,000 more than last year. The iirst primary election is over, and many good men have been disap pointed, while perhaps some not as good have been succesful. Let all abide the will of the majority, and let none become sour or revengeful over the result. The United iStates Court of Ap peals has decided that a Federal Judge can imprison a County Judge for con tempt for failing to carry out thc orderB of the Federal Court. The decision is likely to stir up no end of feeling and evpression. Census figures show that the emi gration of negroes to the North is steadily increasing, and the opossum goes before him as the bee preceded the white man in earlier years. The '^brother in black" appears to be losing his tropical nature and stands the cold up north far better than just aftor "freedom came." It is now announced that Gen. Miles will go to the Philippines, a thing he has been- wanting to do for so long. He wants to get a personal insight into the condition of our army there. But recently he seemed throt tled and it was thought he would be stung out of his office. The situation must be improving. Texas has been more successful in dealing with truBts than any other State in the Union, and it is not on record that it has tended to drive away capital. Capital hesitates to invest in States that hesitate to enforce the laws that are on the statute books. To enforce even a bad law is better than to allow trusts and corporations to do as they please. The Edgefield Advertiser, after the eleotion returns are recorded, makes this home thrust at one of its fellow citizens: "It is probable that Colonel James H. Tillman will preserve as a priceless heritage for his posterity and for perusal during his declining years the exposure of bis cbaraoter and biography as written by the daily and weekly press of the State? Nay, verily." mut o m< The Board of Trustees of Clemson College met at Clemson last Saturday and unanimously elected Prof. P. H. Mell, of Auburn, Ala , President of the college. Ho is at present profes sor of geology and botany in the Ala bama Agricultural College and direc tor of the experiment station at Au burn. Prof. Mell is a son of the famous Dr. Mell, once chancellor of th,e University of Georgia, and a man of wide reputation as a scholar and scientist. The autumn business campaign promises to open up with bright pros pects. Cheering news of abundant food and forage crops comes from all over the country. Cotton prices are good. One of the early indications of opening and brightening business has been the thronging of buyers from all sections of the country to New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. In New York alone it is estimated that there are 3,000 buyers registered at the hotels and their daily purchases must r> n up into the mil lions. The reports of the government as to crop conditions have caused wide-spread feeling that the coming fall season is going to be one of tin best in the country. Republican protestations of hostil ity to the trusts, voiced under a pan icky apprehension of defeat in the approaching Congressional elections, have no effect on the popular miud at this late day. The record of the Re publican party is that of unfailing obedienoe to the will of the trusts. The political record of the trusts is that of unwavering financial and moral support of the Republican party. The two have been in olose partner ship ever since the trusts were nursed to strength by the malign operation of a high protective tariff. The people have suffered greviously as a result of this partnership. They know that, to get rid of the trusts, they must got rid of thc high protective tariff. They know that to get rid of the hinh pro tective tariff they must get nd of the Republican party in control of the Gdvcrnmont. - Much of the charity that begins at home is too weak to travel. There hau never been a time, in ! all probability, when so many peo ple of all a^es, sexes and condi tions have become self-destroyers! It is an cvery-day chronicle-very rarely an omission from each day's happenings. Like the eruptive volca noes, there seems to be many more than usual. There are physical dis turbances in the earth and mental as well as moral disturbances in human kind to match them. We are living in an agc of unrest, and the despair ing are trying to make their way out of their troubles by a short route, if it is a violent one. Young women and young men are suicides. They take poison, use pistols, jump io deep water to drown themselves, and it is s dreadful symptom of thc strenuous life of this period of our history that tho young, who should be the happiest of our citizen ship, should thus uncover their de spair and desperation in self-destruc tion. If suicide has any redeem ing feature whatever, it would ap pear to be the last hope of the aged, who have outlived fortune, home and friends. Their condition is a sad one, for the future holds but little consolation for the ar?ed. who have no hope in a hereafter. Enrolling the Veterans. The gentlemen hereinafter named have been appointed and are requested to aerve aa Township committees of veterans, viz: Anderson-J. P. Sullivan. 1 W. A. Fant, Joe B. McGee. Belton-Juo. T. Creen, J. P. Cox, J. J. Vaughn. Broadaway-J. X. Vandiver, L. E. Campbell, P. G. Acker. Brushy Creek-J. P. Glenn, Frank Elrod, Marion Ellison. Centerville-Wm. Eskew, Oliver Bolt, W. B. Hembree. Corner-Robt.

Dean. Williams ton-R. V. Acker, Jno. V. White, Hugh Jl/ahafley, sr. The chairman or one member of each committee will please call and get in structions and the Township book in which are to be enrolled the names of thoso who entered the Confederate Bervice from their respective town ships. No provision has been made for com pensation for those who perform this service, but it is reasonably and confi dently hoped that those who have been appointed will cheerfully render the service required, and it is nlso hoped thnt every native born resident of every neighborhood will deem it a privilege and pleasant duty to render the Township committees prompt and zealous aid in the enrollment of the names of their fathers, brothers, sons, husbands and neighbors who served in the anny or navy of the Confederate States. Many a Confederate hero, while in tho dark hours of imprison ment, in the helplessness of the hospi tal or in the short, sharp agony of the field, found support and consolation in the belief that at home he would not be forgotten, and yet, although nearly half ot a century has elapsed since that dreadful conflict, a correct Con federate roll has not been secured. J. C. Watkins. Chairman Anderson County Enroll . mont Committee. Tribote to James D. Campbell. Court Stenographer L. L. Motte has returned from Boston, where he at tended the annual meeting of the National Shorthand Reporters' Asso ciation. The association took notice of the death of James D. Campbell, who was its secretary and trensurer and one of its priucipnl organizers, by holding a memorial service in honor of his memory in Fauueil Hall. There was 21 very large attendance and some beautiful resolutions were adopted, which will be published later. Feeling tributes to Mr. Campbell's character and services to the association were ottered by some of the ablest and most distinguished stenographers in the country, including the official report ers of Congress. L. L. Motte and W. H. McFeat, of Columbia, were appoint ed a committee to decorate Mr. Camp bell's grave with Howers every year.
