Andersonians open their hearts and homes to the citizen soldiers of the Third Regiment. Here's to them and all their families. May they livo long And prosper. -- -ats Tho condition of the corn crop on July 1st according to the Government report, is the poorest ever shown, and there is a smaller acreage than for five years. While thc crop of last year was the largest on record, there is a smaller reserve at thc present' time than for years. Those who will have to buy corn next fall and winter will no doubt pay a fancy price for it. There will perhaps bo thc largest gathering of farmers at Clemson next week that has ever assembled in South Carolina for the purpose of learning improved methods of farming. Un told good has boon accomplished by previous State Farmors' Institutes, and greater things aro looked for this year. During the week tho State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, the State Horticultural Sooiety, tho South Carolina Live Stock Association and the South Carolina Dairymen's Association will meet. The Dem?crata appear to he getting buay^all along the lift*. Those who havo been prominent as loaders have reathed ;the interviewahle stage, and now a^a with ideas of who's who and what's what aie writing for tho coun ty and provincial newspapers. This is a good sign. It Bhows that the activo faotors in the party are not in clined to pessimism. The trend of all they are saying is that there is Demo cratic life in theoold land yet, and if the followers of Jefferson will only get together upon a platform adjusted to the people's national noeds, no more and no less, there is an even chance to win next year. The full measure of prosperity that the South is now enjoying and the great industrial strides it is making, is attracting the attention of the whole country. Tho newspapers are com menting on thu increase of immigra tion from the North, and they admit that in the future this immigration will be mnoh larger, especially as cheap lands will soon be gone io the West. They say that the homeBeeker will be compelled to choose between Canada and the South, if he w?nts cheap land, and many of them will prefer the South because of its mild climate, which enables two or three different orops to be raised on the same land in the same year. To be cheerful when the world is going well with you is no great virtue. The thing is to be cheerful ander dis advantageous circumstances. If one has lost money, if business prospecta fail, if enemies appear triumphant, if there is sickness of self or thoao dear to one, then is it, indeed, a virtue to be cheerful. When poverty pinches day after day, month after month or through the years as they pass, and one has ever to deny self of every lit?lo longed-for luxury, and tho puzzle of how to make one dollar do the work of two has to be solved, then the man who can still bc cheerful is a hero. Ha is a greater hero than the soldier who faces the cann da's mouth. Such choorf ulneoa is the kind that we need to cultivate. The people of York County are on the right line to secure good roads, not only for their own county but for every County in the State. At a con vention recently held in Yorkville resolutions were adopted recommend ing legislative aotion in various par ticulars looking to tho scouring of bet ter highways. Among tho resolutions was one asking the legislature to have the constitution so amended as to allow townships or counties to tax themselves to build good roads. A bill to that effeot was introduced at the last session but was voted down. If every County will follow York's example the law makers oan be forced at the next session to adopt ouch a law. If the people desire to tax them selves to build good roads they should have the right to do so. A few , days ago we noticed in a northern journal that "the negro evi dently does not get fair treatment in southern courts." On the contrary, from abundant observation, we are clearly convinced that the negro gets better treatment before southern than before northern courts. The judges 3n tbO'BOuth ard usually men thorough ly .acquainted with negro character and are disposed to make more allow ance for his weaknesses and "prone ness" to crime than arc the judges bf the north who look upon him as Van equal man" and;ittributo to him knowl edge and craft'.of which he is, save in rare instances, incapable.- Lawli BS 1 ness is not a thing to bo encouraged in any community, and as far as thc law and authority of thc State can bo used it should be prevented or punished. I But in the lynching round up there is I really little warrant for the northern kettle to call thc southern pot black. Each section has the same problom to work out, and that is to increase re* spect for the law and to minimize every form of spasmodic anarchy. Good Roads Meeting.
