It is a wise farmer who has already determined to make ootton a Burplus crop, after planting for full barns of hog and hominy. The ohild labor law enacted by the last Legislature in this State is said to-have a o?anse in it that will give a loophole through which thc object of the law can be evaded. In some of thc counties in this State the Supervisor lets out certain sections of the roads by contraot to be kept up. If they are not kept up the contractor receives no pay. This pian ought to work well if properly carried out. Thc ruling of tho Attorney-General that domestic building and loan asso ciations must return all croditB, that is, loans to members, for taxation, at full value, will be a serious blow to all the associations i^ \o State, if thc ruling is enforced. Senator Tillman delivered an ad dress on the race problem last Wed nesday night in Detroit, Mich., whioh was received with alternate cheers and hisses. He characterized some of Sherman's army as "bummers, chicken thieves and carpetbaggers." The rates on cotton mill goods via Charleston, [whioh have been the sub ject of several conferences with tho railroad commission on the part of mill men and railroad authorities, have at last been settled. This comes about through an agreement between the mill and railroad men, whioh is satisfactory to the commission, and whioh agreement will bo put into effect in this State by the commission. The Confederate Veterans who at tend tho annual reunion to bo held in Nev* Orleans beginning May 19th will enjoy "tho timo of their livos." Their hosta-to-be are raisiug a hun dred thousand dollars to bc spent in tho entertainment of the gray heroes, and tho beautiful sponsors and maids of honor. Those who expect to go from Anderson County are requested to send their names to Tho Intelligen cer as soon SB possible in order to Be cure a special car from Anderson to Now Orleans. With the last issue of his paper Editor Hugh Wilson, of the Abbe ville Press and Banner, completed the 44th year since ho bought an interest in tho Independent Pross, which was afterwards oonsolidatod with the Ab beville Banner. Ho has been in one place and associated with one news paper longer than any other editor in the State, and is still hale and hearty, and wields as vigorous, fluent pen as ever before. We extend our congratu lations to Brother Wilson, and hope he may live to celebrate many moro anniversaries of his oonneotion with journalism. The United States is generally re garded as an agricultural country, and the important part whioh the produots Of our farina perform in supplying the world with food, furnish a reasonable basis for such belief. The report of the last census, however, shows that during the ten years ending with 1900, the value of manufactures was nearly double that of agriculture. The fig ures are $4,750,000,000 for agriculture and $8,370,000,000 for manufactures. But the growth of the manufacturing interests is neither inimioal to tho ag ricultural interests nor independent of them. Tho farms of the oountry supplied over 80 per cent of tho raw material used in manufacturing, while tho mines and forests supplied lesa than 20 percent. Agriculture ia there fore, still thc supreme factor io Amer ican prosperity, and is the foundation upon which the development of tho country rests. mm-?~- -- Within the past three weeks great damago has been done to thc oat crop in several of the lower counties of the State by small green flies, called the aphis or plat louso, and it is feared that in some sections the crop will bo wholly destroyed by the pest. Tho insects attaoh themselves in great numbers to the underside of the oat blades and appear to suck the juice from the plant. A field that is at tacked has the appearance of having been soorohed, and the oats are brown and withered. The most discouraging feature of the situation is that there is no certain remedy for the evil, and the entomologist at Clemson College, to whom the farmers have appealed, does not give muoh encouragement to hope that means can bo found to de stroy the pe it and save tho part of the crop that has thus far escaped the ravages of the pest. It is a very se rious matter down there, and moans a lox. of hundreds and thousands of dollars to the farmers. Tiji Xu- 11. (.' .

When tlie national Democrats learn this bit of common sense, they may hope to reclaim the country and not before. This is an age of opportunities for young men. Any young man of this day and time who is made of tho proper material and has tho right am bition can push his way to the front. Tho large corporations of the land are clamoring for young men with ability and equipment. Young man, make the best of your opportunities and push forward. Rock Mill News.

Brown were call ed to Green 'i 1 le last week on account of the serious illness of their daughter, Mrs. G. H. Mahon. The sudden change in the weather has retarded vegetation very much. Gardens are very backward and the farmers have simply "not been in it" when it conies to plowing. They say this year resembles 1883. when not a furrow was run till the lirst of April. A tine crop was harvested that year, nevertheless, proving that sometimes a bad beginning makes a good ending. The tirat copy of the "Missioner" made a favorable impression here, and, we trust, over the entire Greenville District, this being the territory in which it is to circulate. Rev. R. A. Child and M. B. Kelly are editors-in chief. Rev. J. Marion Honers, of Wil liamaton, has charge of The District News Department; Mrs. K. D. Senn, of Anderson, The Woman's Department; and Rev.

BAILES St. CO. I ARE YOU GETTING THE WORTH OF YO?lr) , I V/U1\ 1 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 but the quality, of the values they receive in exchange for their hard-earned monay. They have learned that it is poor business policy to buy inferior Goods, even though the price is cheap. Their experience teaches them that so-called Cheap Gooda are in the long ran extravagantly expensive. This, in a measure, accounts for the gratifying growth of our business. They appreciate our efforts to give a hundred cents worth of value for every dollar, and we renew to them now our pledge, that so long as they desire the best Goods at honest prices, we shall exert ourselves to the utmost to give them values commensurate with their money. Under this agreement we offer from our Urge and well-selected Stock of | Plantation Supplies the best values we have ever shown in Genuine New Orleans Molasses, Genuine Maine Bliss Irish Potatoes, New York State Ros.e and Peerless Potatoes, (No cheap grocery-house stock,) Flour of every grade, (And each Sack guaranteed not io be sticky,) Heavy and Fine Grades of Shoes, Hats, Pants, Overalls, Shirts and Dry Goods, Of every description.
