Thc Democratic baud book, just issued, shows that "nearly all of our exhorts of iron and steel goods, i amounting to ??lll,UU0,OUO last year, j are sold to foreigners at about four fifths thc price charged to Aincri- , cans." How's that for prosperity? About the liveliest article in this presidential race is Henry <?. Davis. Thc aged candidate for thc Vicc-Pres idency on the Democratic ticket is making au active canvass for thc place, is making able speeches and in every way conducting himself a^ if lie were a man of fifty. - . . mt ? mt - As John Wesley stood on the steps waiting for his carriage, he said, "I have lost ten minutes forever."-lix. What would hr'vive -aid had he wait ed as lonto a? so . o of tho newspaper men have to wa for thc payment of subscriptions by copie who think a newspaperman caa live on air? lt is stated that recently a mob of a thousand citizens of Philadelphia, l'a., chased a negro like a mad dog, and, but for the calling out of the police reserves, would have done him to death, and all because thc negro struck a white boy with whom he was quarreling. Is there, after all, Sv/ very much difference between north ern and southern "civilization" when it cernes to the race question? ,mi ? tm - The farmer who ia out of debt, has his corn crop in the crib, his stock well housed and his larder well pro vided with meat and bread, is in posi tion of greater independence than J. P. Morgan, C. M. Dcpew, or J. D. Rockefeller, or any other fellow. There may bc times when thc lot of thc farmer is full of care and anxiety, but most of them arc content and very independent these days. Thc Southern Cotton Growers' As sociation held lately in St. Louis adopted the Waco, Texas, ?dan pro posed to maintain a stable market and fair prices for cotton. This plan provides for an organization of far mers, business and Southern bankers to build warehouses for storing cotton and preventing a glut io the market. The Association also adopted a reso lution requesting cotton growers to Bell no middling cotton below ten oenta and to market the crop as Blowly as possible during October and No vember. - mi m - Recently a poll was taken in some of the business institutions of New York for the purpose of discovering if the sentiment among business men in favor of Judge Parker were increas ing. It waB found that very many of those who voted for Mr. McKinley are going to vote for him, They gave as their reasons that Mr. Roosevelt, if eleoted President, would follow his inclination to a far greater extent than he has sinoe he has been President, because he would feel he had been in * dorsed by the people. Now he is only an aooidental President. His inclinations are so aggressive that he would be likely to get the country into a war, or do some other thing that would unpottle business. Governor Heyward has eommuted the death sentence of Hoyt Hayes to life imprisonment, and under all the circumstances we think he has done the proper thing. Hayes was con victed of the murder of his wife in Ooonee County. The first trial re sulted in a mistrial after the jury had been out all night, and at the second trial he was convioted after a five boure deliberation by the jury. The Supreme Court last June refused him a new trial. Hayes was convicted on circumstantial evidence, there being no other person about the premises at the time but the couple. The State failed absolutely to establish any motive for the crime. The woman's own immediate family who lived near him testified that as far as they knew Hayes and his wife loved each other devotedly. The body was found ia bed with the 'ace shot away, the hus band notifying the neighbors that his wife had suicided. A note was found in tbe room which wes signed by the deeeased, who declared that she was treated well by her hu?band bat pre ferred to die rather than undergo the pain of motherhood. The question of the guilt or innoeenoe of Hayes seem ed to hinge upon the authorship of this note, and Governor Heyward sub mitted the note with a letter written by the deceased, to David N. Carval lo, one of the most distinguished handwriting exports in America, who gave it as his strong conviction that the note was written by the woman. The case has attracted a deal of at'ten \ 4ion throughout the State,~ana the V / Governor has received many strong 1/ letters for and against the prisoner / . from Oconee Count?. The. petition for commutation was signed by over a thousand and there was a counter . ^gOtitioa signed by over 509.
