Small manufacturing indu*tries help a community more than anything else. Anderson needs more of thia kind. John Temple Graves insists teat no "free and fearless forecast of the Democratic future" can omit William H. Hearst from Democratic possibili ties. A recent issue of the Congressional Bccord contains a list of trusts com piled by tho government. Thero aro over SOO of them, with a capitalization of $14,000,000,000. No European power desires a war with the United States, not because of .tho size of thc latter's navy, but be cause of thc size of the American grainery which feeds half of Europe. Tho Atlanta Journal says that Sena tor Tillman's suggestion of Booker Washington as a cabinet officer has also started a new train of thought in regard to Roosevelt's running moto in 1904. _ All of onr business men are in favor of organising a Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce, and it should be organised at once, as it is badly needed. Who will take the lead in the matter? The 57th Congress ended its exis tence last Wednesday by limitation. The total appropriations by thc Con gress foot up nearly two billion dol lars, whioh proves that the Republi cans cannot bear iv D?? a tull treasury. "Obey" is to be ruled out of the marriage ceremony. It is considered to be no longer necessary ns women do as they please and the law has bcoome so moroiful that any disobedience is not looked upon as a breach of the vow. They tell us that in shooting duoks Grover Cleveland vividly suggests his phenomenal capturing of presidential terms. Ho never fails to bring down two out of three. There are thor J who believe that, if put to tho test, ho could wing the third bird. In looking over tho Republican newspapers of prominence and stand ing it is evident that the Roosevelt administration is not in the highest favOr, and the ; indications are that it is sot going to bu as unanimous as some would like. ?The people of the entire South will bo glad to know that the illness of G - jerai JohnB. Gordon is not as seri ous as at first thought. It is proba ble that no Confederate veteran living holds the esteem of bib comrades more universally than does General Gordon. It now lpoks as if the Spanish war veterans will be as expensive to Undo Sam f.'i are his pets of the Civil war, A movement is assuming shapo to pay the veterans of the Spanish war for services they never rendered, that is it is proposed to pay them for services before actual enlistment. The Colombia ohamber of commerce has, through its board of directora, taken the first step in the matter of having South'Carolina's resources and industries properly represented at the world's fair at St. Louis next year-a step that will probably bo followed by others until all Carolinians, officials and citizens alike, will be acting to gether in the work. There will be two special commis sions to sit during the year to make reports back to tho nest Legislature. Ono has reference to improvements on the State house, and the other has reference to devising a better system of taxation, aud ascertaining from what sources moro revenue may be obtained. Of these the lar M- is by far the most important, and ail tho oost will be money well spent. The Wisconsin Legislature hos adopted a resolution calling a conven tion to meet in Atlanta to discuss the race issue, and requested the Govern ors of- the various States to send dele gates there. Gov. Heyward has de clined to'appoint delegates to the con vention, and we believe he has done the proper thing. He very truly pays th? convention could be productive of no good ancV might produce much harm. The next session of the Legislature should enact a law giving Magistrates more jurisdiction in criminal and civil oases. If this is done it will go a long way toward preventing tho crowding of the Court dockets with trivial cases as has been tho oase at the recent terms of Court here. It would also do away with so macy, extra tories of Court throughout the State, and be a big saving of '.'"court expenses to the counties.

Tho recent unprecedented jump in the price of raw cotton has been of great value to many of the mills of this scctiou, which have been eo for tunate as to have made contracts for raw cotton for several months to come at prices on the basis of raw cotton be fore thc rise. A few of tiie mills only, it appears, havo been caught' by tho advance and even these, it is said, will be able to make money on their yarns, although they aro paying 9 1-4 to 9 1-2 cents for their product, which is about 1-2 to 3-4 above prices pre vailing a few weeks ago. The general condition of thc yarn men is perhaps better today than it has been in several months, or even years for that matter. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Special Correspondence of Intelligencer. Washington, D.C., March?, 1903. "Sow the wind and reap the whirl wind." That's what tho Republicans of the House and Senate of the 57th CoDfTCG* have done in tho closing hours vt this Congress. They have ridden rough shod over the mivority and now they are repenting.in sack cloth and ashes. The fillibuster in the House and the Senate during the last week of this Congress has been productive of great good, not alone to the people and their pocket-books ?by the decapitation of numerous bills that were steals pure ano: Biro salutary lesson to the arrogant majority. They have been returned so often to power by the votes of the people in the last ten years that they nave come to look upon the perquisites of office as pecu liarly their own, and that they could do as they pleased and rho Democrats would sit down meekly and calmly and suck their thumbs as they have been doing too long already because they have been cursed with a supine onrt nnlnolooa -Ut* U-j. fU. - avuuuioui^i i^ui, vuu worra will turn at last, and sometimes a man refuses to turn the other cheek after being smitten on one. You can kiok a tramp out-doors whou he is plumb busted and he will not resent it; bnt put a twenty dollar bill in his pocket and kick him and he will knock you down. The Democrats ha vj been buoyed up lately by tho mistakes of the Republicans, aud the twenty dollar.) bill of almost assured success in the next campaign, and they have come to the conclusion that it is high time to assert their rights and compel the Re publicans to recognize them, and they are doing BO with a vengeance that has made the Republicans gasp for breath. The whole rumpus started when the Republicans committed the greatest outrage that ever was committed in the history of national legislation in this government, that is, when they kicked out the Hon. James J. Butler, of the 12th district of Missouri, from his Beat in this Congress, twice with out rhyme or reason. It was the most indecent and indefensible piece of par tisanship over p :. notrated on the face of the earth. Mr. Butler was elected to the 67th Congress, and his seat was contested by a man named Horton, Horton's record waa BO rotten that the Republicans could not afford to give him the Beat, but such was their parti sanship that they would not give it to Butler, whoso father had been so promi nent in Democratic circles in the city of St Louia for years, so they declared the aeat vacant, and that no election had occurred. That happened on the 28th of last June. Last fall Mr. Butler ran not only for the vacancy, but for tho long term in the next, or 58th, Congress. He was elected to both seats by a majority of over 0,000 votes. The man wno contested his seat for the short term, Mr. Wagoner, made his contest on tho ground of fraud in the district. There was over - 2,500 pages.of testimony in the case, on both sides of which the committee on elec tions read not one page, and submitted nothing to.the House. The committee simply called np the case and the par tisan . majority fired ont Mr. Butler on the ex-parte statement of the Re publican chairman of the committee that he waa elected by fraud. They not only did that, bat they did it with out a quorum present, aa demanded by the Constitution of the country. They had the power and they used that power like a giant. It was simply a case of might, and not the semblance of justice or of decenoy connected therewith. The Democrats resented the outrage and caused the filibuster, not so much in revenge for the inde cent partisanship of the Republicans, bat, as the Hon. John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, said the other day in one of his brilliant and inimitable speeches, it was to give the Republi cans to understand that they could not walk over the minority with hobnailed shoes on without stepping on some thing thar hurts. Mr. Williams will be the next floor lender of the Demo-: era ts, by common consent on tho part of the Decocrats of the next Houoe, that ho is the best-equipped man in the House for the position, and the Republicans will have some h.-rd sled ding to walk over him. They not only fear him but they respect him as well, and it will be my pleasure and privi lege to give the readers of this paper a pen sketch of this brilliant man in the near future. m ? This filibuster on the part of the Democrats has saved the people of the country not less than $20,000.000 in jobs and petty steal s that would have gone through the Republican House in the closing hours oC this last session. The taxpayers of the country owe the Democrats a debt of gratitude for that if for nothing else. The Democrats have been madder than they have ever been since the Fifty-first Congress when the Reed rules were forced on them, and they havo given the Republicans a gentle foretaste of the future if the Republi can majority in the next House* at tempts to play horse in tho same way. The Democratic filibuster in tho Sen ate has been productive of a great So od in that ic has resulted in the eath of the Aldrich financial bill. That bill was designed to sive the national banksof the country addition al advantages, and in fact to establish a national bank trust, but the action of tho Democrats Vas killed the meas ure for this Congress. They contended that the ostensible object of the bill, which waa to get the money now con fjested in tho national treasury, out uto the hands of the people, could be done in another and in ? much better way. and that waa by reducing the tanti on many .?.rticlc?* and stop tho flow of the money into the treasury. In other word*, instead of havicg the moi < y go into the treasury and then scuding it back to tho people through th? medium ol tho national hanks, which,;wouhl get a profit ont. oil the propio, liny wouhl ic'du?* L&x?ti?n tilia keep rho money in tho hands of tho people in tho first instanc. This Aldrich bill in connection with thc tann", would have been a vet j table nig ger's coon trap. It would havo caught tlie people coming and going. That, however, is tho ossence of Republican legislation. Th/? action of this Republican Con gress in refusing to givo the new Sec retary of Commerce aud Labor the amounts asked for iu bia estimate of what it would cost to run his depart ment, is simply indicative of what wo may expect trom that department when it engages in the pastime of trust-bust ing. I already nave analyzed what the provisions for publicity m that now department amount to under the most favorable conditions, and now that the Itepablicarfs have refused to allow the new Secretary anything with which to run his department, it means that noth ing will be done at all. Mr. Cort ely ou asked for about a million and a quarter of dollars to run his department, and Congress has given him about $300,000. This means that they arc going to bast?. trust and investigate truste on the installment plan only. It means that they passed the law as a bluffas I said they had done, and they intend to do nothing and allow the law under which tho now department operates to be come a dead letter. How long, O Lord, how long, will the people bo fooled? Charles A. Edwards. In Memory of John G. Knox, John G. Knox, ono of the most high ly esteemed y oungmen of Brushy Creek, died at his home on the 25th ult. He had suffered for the past twenty days with typhoid fever, but a skillful phy sician and ministering hands had no power to stay the disease, and through all his illness he never murmured, but had a Christlike patience that was touching to all who saw him. He sub mitted himself wholly to his Saviour's will, singing praises unto the Lord, all the while praying for his Sunday School and friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. D. W. Hiott, of Pasley. His remains were laid to rest at Sit. Airy Cemetery, attended by a large con course of sorrowing relatives and friends. He had lived a devoted Christian life and exerted a great influence in hie Church and among hiB young friends. He will be greatly missed by all his loved ones. A loving one from them has gone, A voice they loved is still, A place is vacant in their home, Which never can be filled. ^ p Brushy .Creek, March G. . - The pQstoffica money order* de partment handles about $300,000,000 a year. The loss by the dishonesty and carelessness of clerks has been only $251 in the last two.years, but this partly explained by the fact that the clerks are made responsible for the money they handle, and any IOSB is considered theirs.

ARE YOU GETTING THE WORTH OF 4 v-'\ THE people of Anderson County are, as a rule, a most practicable and sensible people. They consider it the part of wisdom to investigate well, not only the quantity hut the quality, of the values they sreeeiyo in exchange for their hard-earned money. They have learned that it is poor business policy to buy inferior Goods, even though the price is cheap. Their exneriesotl teaches them that so-called Cheap Goods are in the long ron extra.v?gant?y?j expensive. This, in a measure, accounts for the gratifying; growth of our business.! They appreciate onr efforts to givo a hundred cents worth of vah?o for evesyj dollar, and we renew to them now onr pledge lhat so long ashbey desire this j beat Goods et honest prices, we shall exert ourselves io tho utmost to give them values commensurate with their money.
