Thc longer thc farmers Bland firiu in holding cotton, the letter prices they will secure. The market is Htcadily advancing. "Reduce cottcn, raise more food crops," is President llarvie Jordan's urgent advice to farmers, and we hope it will be followed in this county. A political economist has come for ward with thc theory that if thc lend ing of money could bc stopped, war would cease. If the lending of mon ey could stop, pretty nearly every thing would stop with it. Hate, malice, envy, anger and peevishness are rank poisons, and if given free play will poison your blood, poison your food, poison your efforts, bring you failure in business, lose your friends, blight your hopes, im pair your energies, and greatly short en your life.-Exchange. .- - ? - - Hon. II. II. Evans, of Newberry, chairman of the State Dispensary Board, lian commenced suit against the Barnwell Sentinel for defamation of character, ile ia suing both civil ly and criminally. He says he proposes to mako the papers prove what they say derogatory to his character or pay for it. -- - - . -- Thc farmer who fails to raise plenty of hog and hominy is missing thc mark of independence. Let every farmer in Anderson County raise enough home supplies for tho usc of hie family and a little more to sell to his less fortunato city cousins. This is a land of plenty and he who fails to get his share has no one to blame bul himself. In a decision handed down by thc Supremo Court in Columbia last week the decision given recently by Judgo Gary which held that tho town of Wi.msboro had the right to tax the Western Union Telegraph Company $35 for doing business in that town, was sustained. The opinion is quite aa importaut uu? aiid sui-ut? the righi to tax corporations for business done in various towns. The National Civil Service Commis sion's report contradicts tho famous saying that "few die and none resign" in the Federal service. It shows that out of every 1000 employees seventy resigned voluntarily last year. That is seven per cent, of the wholo num ber. A similar rato of voluntary withdrawals from the service of a great railroad company would mean from 1,000 to 2,000 or 3,000 changes in a year. The proposition to send a Venezue lan army across country to make an attack on New Orleans in oaso diffi culty between Venezuela and the bluster. The army would dio on the road. If it reaohed New Orleans that city would know how to take caro of itself. Any doubt on this point might bo cleared up by inquiring of John Bull. John has had expeii ence. _ _ Oyama, the great Japanese general, has proven himself to bo one of the greatest military geniuses of modern times, and is the lion of ' tho hour. It has been said that some mon are self-made and others wife made. .Who knowB but whet this great commander owes much to his better-half for his wonderful achievements? His wife, although ? Japanese.woman, is a very devout Christian-'and was eduoated at Vassar, being a honor graduate of this foremost female college of America. She is said to be a lover of Americano and American customs. wm m m - The directors of the County Fair Association are making efforts to in crease the scope of the O aunty Fair to be held this year and to make it a representative index ^of Anderson's agricultural and industrial growth. It is the intention of those interested in the movement to increase tho capi tal stock of the Association and make the Fair an annual event of impor tance. The Fair held last fall w?s a ?necees, but owing to the limited time the promoters had in whioh io mike their preparations and also to the "newness of the enterprise, the exhib icB were veetrioted mainly to horses nod cattle. This year the agricul tural and industrial interests will be y cpr cseu ted in addition to the dis play of live stock, and with other attractions for the pleasuro pf the visitors the Fair will be all that one ? Duld wisb? It is well for the public to keep, the Fair in mind, for their hearty support is needed to make it a ?l?cese. The Chamber of Commerce %* doing its part, the business men cf :&ho city are ready'to extend aid, - and i'the people of the county generally y'ill give substantial support to the enterer.to Anderson -will hive Oe Mst County Fair in the ? tate. From advices received from every State io the cotton belt, the organi zation of the farmers, business men, doctors, lawyers and others, under the auspices of tho Southern Cotton As sociation, ?8 very complete. There are hut few counties now that are not thoroughly organized. In thoHC coun ties thc districts, heats and precincts ?.re also well organized. Thousands and thousands of pledges have been signed by tho farmers, white and black alike. In many instances re ports have been received at thc head quarter : nf the association that promi nent planters in the South have agreed to plant no cotton at all this year. Of course these aro not in large num bers, but Huch a Hpirit on the part of the people who have agreed to plant no cotton at all shows thc interest that is being taken ia thc movement. Latest War News. St. Petersburg, March 25.-Tho in formation contained in these dispatch ea ?or over a week regarding tb? chango in Emperor Nicholas' attitude concerning tho advisability of making a pacific proposal to Japan is fully con firmed, und in very high quarters peace within six weeks is regarded as certain. The positiveness with which this is affirmed would indicate that the Gov ernment is alreav'y in possession of in formation ns to the Japanese terms, which indicate a basis to which Uus sia can agree. Tho exact situation is shrouded in mystery. Tho secret of what bas been done and what is being dono is jealously guarded. The As sociated Press hears, however, from a source close to the throne that pour ?artera aro actually in progress i'i 'arie, but possibly only of a prelimi nary character, and that Copenha^eu may be the scene of the lirst exchanges between representatives. of tho two Towers, lu thia connection importance is being attached to the visit of Al. O'lawoTaky, Russian minister at Copen hagen, to M. Bompnrd, th? French ambassador to Kassia, on Tuesday. The partiea to this conference refuse to admit that significance is attached toit. In the meantime the foreign ellice is silent. Farts, March 25.-It is Raid in quar ters having excellent means of infor mation that Russia's steps toward peace have already taken a tentative form at a private conference lield within recent dnys atone of the small capitals of Northern Europe. The purpose of this appears to have been to bring together pei son ages represent ing: both sides, neither having creden tials to discus formal terms of peace, but to informally examine what each sido expected and what tentative basis seemed possible. The nature of this exchauge does not warrant its Indue considered a definite peace movement, but it is understood to have given each side an opportunity to judge tho views ot! the other, and it has clearly shown Russia's disposition towards peace. St. Fertersburg, March 25.-Gen. Li.ievitch continues the retirement of the bulk of his army northward. The general stall' declares it is cer tain that Field Marshal Oyama has been compelled to relinquish the idea of a pursuit in force for tho present. The Japanese forces on the Russian Hanks are too light to constitute a se rious danger and a lull in heavy fight ing for several weeks, if not months, is predicted by some of the correspon dents. A Russian correspondent warns the St. Petersburg authorities of the dan gers of Japanese activity in Mongolia, Where ho says their emissaries are en listing the lamas and arousing their old warlike spirit. Paris, March 20.-It wnu stated in diplomatic quarters here today that among the conditions of peace which Japan might usk would be that Rus sia give a pledge to build no more war ships for a term of years. A diplo matic official said that such a condi tion would be the most effective means of assuring- Japan against Russia's car rying out her cherished project of na - val rearmament for tho renewal of hostilities under better conditions than th"?" at p?'vSi'iDv c-x??t?sg. ' It is well known that Kassia con templates a huge plan of naval reha bilitation. Admiral Doubasoff, the head of the technical board of tim ad miral ty, ('apt. Ciado, formerly chief tactical officer under Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, and other Russian naval authorities recently have taken the position that peace was desirable until a naval reconstruct oi could bo com ?doted. This appears to have stimu ated Japan's diplomats to consider menus ot avoiding a peace that would be e quivalent to no move than a truce, dui bu; which Russia wou ld have time to forge an effective weapon, and therefore the intimation is now given that limitation of Russian naval arma ment may figure as a means of assur ing a prolonged peace in tho Orient. Concerning 4he veeeut preliminary approaches towards peace, it is now accepted in the highest diplomatic quarters that these preliminary nego tiations did hot occur here, although Paris may have been the channel through which the results were trans-* mit ted to St. "Petersburg and to Tokio. However, it is noticable that there has not been the slightest reference in French newspapers to the peace move I men tr. having taken tangible form here I or elsewhere, exceptio continued acad emic discussion . of the peace propa ganda and a few vague St. Petersburg dispatches showing that peace is in the air. St. Petersburg, March 28.-The im pression prevalent in some military* circles that the Japanese, having re moved tho post i bili ty of the main army in Manchuria assuming the initiative, will now turn their attention to the next objective of the war, Vladivos tok, is strengthened by the Associated Press dispatch from Gunsbu pass an nouncing tire withdrawal of the Japan ese from the immediate front of the Russian army for a distance ot 85 miles south. It is realized, of course, that this may be merely a blind to cover Hanking operations; but it ia not im pi ob a bio that the Japanese, having cleared southern Manchuria of Rus sian troops and secured a position from whence expulsion would be a long- and difficult process, may bo satisfied to hold tho Tie Pass line without further extension of communi cation. While tlie voice of the emperor's ad visers is for peace if honorable tarais are obtainable, the government, aa ia the part of wisdom, is going forward with all provisions for the continuance ot' the war. Preparations are reported to bo making for the mobilization of five corps, lt has been understood that the guards would be retained at St. Petersburg, but some of the offi cers of this crack organization be lieve their services have been requisi tioned and are making preparations to that end. , There has been a recrudescence of reports of a change in tho head of tho war oilice. lt wus stated last night in a usually well informed source that Lieut. Gen. Sakharoft'will leave very shortly and be succeeded by Gen. Ki diger, now chief of tho chancellery of the war office. It is also reported that Gen. Pojivonni)' will bo appointed chief o'" the gonerul staff. Doth Polivanotf and Ititliger are of the younger school ot generals, but have high repute aa theoreticians and administrators. Gen. llidigcr is the author of u number of textbooks on tactics. The government is advised that Chi nese bandits ure appenring in great numbers ulong the Siberian railroad and causing interference with the train service. Confed?rale Flags Have Been Returned} Gov.
