A good many of the people of this ,community expect to attend the state fair this week. They regret that the excursion train arrivs in Columbia so late, however. It is difficult to get lodging in Coliumbia for the night and if one returns the same day, the present sehedule does not give him much time in the city. Cotton picking is well advanced in this seetion, and if the pretty weath er continues for a week or two lon ger, the pieking will be practically finishid. S. The Coluds Will Roll By. The following editoria.l from last week's Manufacturers' Record is so good and so itimely that -we reproduce it, here. It should be carefully read, and we believe all who read it will 'endorse it and appreciate it: "And stil' the sun is shining. And sti.ll S5,000,000 people are 'being selot.hed and fed and are doing their accustomed work. Still the tramp of a mighty army of a million workers is annually pouring into our country, and hundreds of thousands from oth e'r sections of the United .States are annually turning their footsteps to ward -the great Southwest. .and imany' into t'he Central South. The .world moves. Human activities know no let-up. T'he farmers of the countr.y will this year receive $7,000,000,000 -for their products, or about nine timesJ Lthe total niationa~l banking 'capital of Tthe United -States; ahnxost one-half as muhas the 'total investment in all 'the railroads of the countrry. Never before in the history of America :were the agricultural conditions of the country so sound and solid; never 'before "&ere tue farmers of ,the south and the west alike so nearly out of deb't and 'with a total value of farm produ'cts to their credit so 'staggering in amount as to be almo~st beyond comprehension. Contrast the $7,000, 000,000 whieh 'will this year 'be paid to American farmers with the total J value of farm products was $2,566, 000,000, or b.ut a 'little more ~than one-third of the value this year. From seven years ago, or in 1900, the total rwas $4,717,000,000, wihile this year the aggregate of $7,000,000,000 shows Sa gain of $2,300,000,000 as compared -with 1900, and is almost as great as 'the total value of far~m produets in 1890. "How can a country materially suffer in its business interests with such a solid foundation for marvel ous prosperity and business expan sion? New York is at present the' storm-center of a bad financial con dit'ion, due in part to the rottenness of the methods of some financial operators in that great world-enter, in part to destruction of confidence by ceaseless agitation and legislation against 'railroads 'and other corpora tions. It is true that the depreciation in securities has been enormous. It is true 'that thousands have lost, their all by having to ,sacrifice securities. But these conditions do not, by any means, change the fundaniental soundness of American business con ditions. The man who has been forced by this financial storm to sac rifice his securities -for far less than their intrinsic value has transferred to the pure.haser a property whicih, 'when the st(orm is over, must inevita bly advance commensurate with the marvelous natural resources and de velotment of the country.
