?anua Intelligencer. FubUshcd every Wednesday. 3. P. CLINKSCALES, J EUITOR8 ANI> n. n. LANGSTON, I PKOPKIBTORS. ONE YEAR, - - - - Si 50 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, JAN. 10. PJ00. HOD. Cole L lilcase, 'Senator from "Newberry Ct unty, has announced himself a candidate for Governor of South Carolina. No doubt be believes in thc? old adage, 'the ?arly bird catches the worm." With or withou; immigration land -values in the South have been steadily advancing during the laHt year or two. Hut much of the .best land is still cheap enough io be very attractive to a mau with a small capital Vtbo knows a good investment when lie sees it. The origin of the phrase ''easy money" is revealed by the insurance exposures. Ono company loaned mon ey to favorites at 14 per cont, and as savings banka have;long been paying 3h and 4 per cent tho favored ones ?ould pick up money without risk or trouble. Tho men who give bribes and thoso who aooept themj'may?carry on their debate to their*, hearts' content, and the public o will cot be inilueuood by the award of honors that may result from the discussion,ledeclares tho Washington Post. C Yes, and between ouch men questions of integrity, honor or conscience aro^never raised. Tho average American citizen, with his Tespect for law and; his lovfc of honest dealing, will- make no ohoico between the briber and tho bribed. Ho detests them equally. An 'seociated Press dispatch from New York, undcr-dato of the Gth inst., reportB J. H. Iloadley, the leader of thc recent hull movement in cotton, as say ing thp*. he was at last certain that praoti jelly all tho Southern planters wouJ'i bold tbeir?cotton for 15 centB. Mr. Hoadley formed a pool topurobaso cotton at that prico and he said that this pool has secured control of the output. "March options will go to 17 or 18 cents, I believe," said Mr. Hoadlcy, "because wo have pretty nearly got tho March crop cornered." If Mr. Hoadley's ? predictions prove correct be will surely have the good will of all tho peoplo of the cotton States. - m - The 1*91 isBue of the Southcru Field, published at Athens, Qa., and edited by T. L?arry Gantt, contains a very complimentary notice of Ander; son and ber wonderful development in thc past year or two. The anide winde up by saying: "Anderson is one of the most progressive oountiea in the South, and the city of Ander son is a gem. The editor of this paper visited Anderson about eighteen mouths ago, and was charmed with tho place and its people. Both that county and city are shining examples of the New South. The Southern Field, at some future time, intends to write np tb it section, and use it as an object lesson ?or other Southern coun ties and cities. Mr. Gantt could not .find a better field or better Bubjeot than Anderson to use as an objeot ion eon in his write up, and if ho will only let ua know io advance when he is coming hero we will see that he is plaoed in the hands of the Chamber of Gommeroe Press Committee and properly entertained and oared for. There is considerable discussion being indulged in just now by the press of the State in reference to the assessment of real estate, and it will no doubt result in great benefit to South Carolina. In a recent inter view in Columbia Comptroller-General Jones said that most of the objections that he has. thus far encountered in connection with his efforts to haye all disses of property in the State as sessed/at full market value has been on account of the three-mill consti tutional tax. , Ho says that he haB fully considered this phase of the question and that it i J bis firm con viction that this is not s real objec tion. Ho finds that in practically every township in the State there is either a special or a bond tax, and that this three-mill tax will just about balanoe the special levies. He has goae to the trouble of figuring on tho increased assessment, and has found that in the counties on which he baa figured the Bpeoial levies will bc about covered by the three mill tax and that if the three-mill tax raises an amount equivalent to the speaial school taxes, then there is no need for tbs Speoial levies, and thu. it ia about as broad as it is long. Mr. Jones haB received a gi?at many letters assuring bim of co-operation in bis efforts to bave the assessments of - tbs State np to full value, ?nd he thinks that bo is going to .meet with less opposition than was anticipated. He feels satis* Rei that ii tho county auditors and boards do not do their full duty the Slate. Board will "jack np" the couu ?BsWlbat lack auditors and county boaMs ti at will do what they ought to The Greenville News Hays that John S. Albright, a Pennsylvania far mer, has purcbafcd a farm near that city, and will turn it into a modern ?.ruck farm. Ho will also go into tho poultry and hog raising business. Mr. Albright is the kind of norm grant we are looking for. If his truck farm ?loen not prove lo he a regular gr,ld mine, we shall be much sur prised. - - i- . ?? - The information conies from Wash ington that the beginning of the new year finds "Uncle Sam" in the best of humor. His revenues have in creased lo a record-breaking extent and the expenditures have markedly decreased. It is the belief of treas ury officials that were it not for the Panama canal construction the deficit in the treasury would be entirely wiped out. It was $21,000,000 <J? tho first of last July. It s Und s now at less than $9,000,000. QUE COLUMBIA LETTER. Cou MIMA, S. C., Jan. 8. Tho nnnuni session of tho general (.SHCHI oly opens tomorrow and, bv tho way, it may bo ono of the last if not tho last annual session, tor tho com mittee whicli was appointed to inquire into tho validity ol the biennial ses sions amendment will reuort ut this session? tho amendment having been adopted by tho people but its validity challenged, Biennial sessions is a subject which has been agitated in this State for a number of years, and it will bereen that it is not yet settled. -But thero aro other "stock" issues which will come np again, and not the least of these is the-dispensary. Time after tho fight has been made on the dispensary, and each time until now with odds against the dispensary opponents time. It it different now, the unti-dispeusury peo ple have the light in theirown h indsuud at all depends on whether or not they will make tho most of their opportu nity. At tbe last nession it was ovi dentthat the house was not for the dispensary and the Senate leaned to wards the institution by only a small majority. This majority may have chunged since the last session, in that senators whose counties have within the year ?oted nguioBt the dispensary may con 1er that vote equivalent to instructions to vote tho same way in the Senate. But tho dispensary is lighting tor its life; its staunchest friends aro righting tor their political lives, and more, and it nil depends on tho good or the bad generalship of the opposition. Other familiar measures will be de bated in tho same familiar way. There will bo the compulsory education tight, tho taxation problem, the reformatory bill, the tight on the tag tax and the Clemson appropriation, and perhaps oven tho dog tax. But above all else there will much political strategy among those in and out of tho .Legislature who expect to be in the campaign next summer. Candidates tor every of M cc in the State House will watch and work if not pray, and tho tone of tho summer can vass of the counties will be virtually fixed at this session. The result of tho light over the dispensary will have much to do with the campaign for gov ernor, and may even decide who shall bo the candidates. J. H. ?unouncenten?. At the regular annual meeting of the Board of Directors of The Bank of Anderson, tho following officers vere elected: B. F. i/auldin, President. Jos. N. Brown, Vice President. J. A.
