The General Assembly for 1903 has met and after forty days hard work succeeded in get ting back to their homes witl their baggage, and some few, with their pay certificates. Very few matters of general import ance was enacted into law, but the Calen.dars were daily crowd ed with matters affecting loca. communities, which shows the necessity for repealing that clause of the constitution which pDro hibits special legislation; it is manifesti, that some communities need legislation which others dc not. We think,nearly seven hun dred bills were introduced, and out of that mass of matter the child labor bill, and the repudia of an honest debt of the State was about all that went through which is of general interest. There was nothing done to give the people a better road system, nor was there anything done which would require the rich to pay their just proportion of the Rxes._There was&-a-conditional appropriation of $20,000 to build a monument to General Wade Hampton-the condition being that $10,000 be raised by private subscription, this of course is o: general interest, but we are no prepared to say it meets witi general approval. Hampton de serves a monument, more so that any man the State has yet pro duced, but in our humble judg ment it should not be built ou of the tax money of the people;th< money should be raised entirely by private subscription and con tributed as a love offerimg. To build monuments with publi< *unds is establishing a preceden which^iF legislators may re gret. Suppose this State should again be convulsed in a politica revolution, like that of 1890, ani The successful leader, while th< excitement is still hot should die what will keep down his enthu siastic followers from going dowi deep into the public treasury t< build a costly monument to his memory,and for all time to come have a standing source of irri tation to a large minority of th< tax payers whose money was thus'spent without their consent and perhaps this minority wer< forced to pay the largest share We favor building a monumeni to the great Hampton, but d< not think the plan adopted it wise, nor do we believe the leg islature has a legal right to ap propriate money for such a pur pose. To appropriate mone3 for advertising the resources o: the State is for the expansion o: its business interests, hence fol the public good, and this we be lieve it has a right to do, but wt do not consider the building of monument as one of the things contemplated as the means to ex -pand our business inTerests, o: that it tends to aid in our genera welfare. So far as our own county i: concerned the only legislation o: public interest was the enact ment of a bill providing for thE building of a new jail, and rais ing the tax levy to pay for same and another bill to increase thE *county supervisor's salary abou *33* per cent. RepresentativE Lesesne spoke on a number o: measures,~ Representative Lan --ham whom the newspaper met will continue to mention as a brother to the Governor o: of Texas, made a talk in de fense of his bill to require rail roads to carry 250 pounds o: baggage, and he was heard agair when he withdrew his "crop ~pers" bill. Representative De Schamps like the iron Chancel lor of Germany, .Bismnarck, wva silent and wise. Senator Davis was steadfastly at his post, madE no speeches that we have seer reported, introduced -the jai: measure and the freeholders amendment to the seed cottor bill. It is not always wisdom on thE . part of a representative to makE speeches, because where one is constantly on his feet making speeches he becomes what is known as a red pepper fiend, wh< resembles the dude that rolls thE tail of his coat over his waist and stalks about with his handi rammed in the. side pockets o: his pants, hence it must not bE concluded that because our rep resentatives were not given t< much speech making that the5 did nothing; they did all in theli judgment that was necessary, listened. voted, drew their pay and came home to rest up froir their labors for twelve monthi and return better equipped foi the next session.

We hardly think the democratic party would again give its leadership to Colonel t Bryan, nor do we believe there Btis any reasonable hope the : country will accept the Chicago I and Kansas city platforms, therefore if the democratic party has any serious idea. of even f making a decent showing in the next campaign, its money ideas, t and other theories which the . business element will not accept must be dropped, and with the Sdropping of them Bryan must drop also. 1 We regard both Grover Clove landi and William J e n n i n Z s t Bryan back numbers so far as e ever being nominees, but Cleve land's counsel will always be .sought by the business element e of the party. and Bryan will al ways furnish material for the element which is an anchor 2 around the neck of any organi k zation, and if the National Dem r ocratic Convention should tear , out of its platform the populistic $ vagaries, and replace them with t planks to inspire confidence in a the business world, it would not y surprise us in the least to see Bryan leading a third party with e Senator Teller as his running . mate. d There is one thing certain, . Bryan has no idea of permitting e the Democratic party to become s solidified, if he can help it, and a whenever it is attempted hE . throws the weight of his influ . ence against the project, and as d the Philadelphia Inquirer aptly 0 puts it "Colonel Bryan's refusal I to accept an invitation to dine ir L- the presence of Mr. Cleveland means that the baby won't play s at all unless the baby can play e the baby's way.'

The commere committee refused to recommen' for confirmation the appoim1 ment of Dr. W. D.

I is evidently his purpose to fore those Republican Senators wh "ar running with the hounds an barking with the hare" to shoN their hands one way or anothei The president has intimated, 1 the Senate rejects the Crum al pointment he will not reappoir him during the recess, but ur less the Senate acts he will rE appoint Crum as soon as Con gress adjourns. At Wiilson,' N. C., a colore postmaster was refused real pointment, because, on accour of his color he was objectionabl to the patrons of the office, an the president has appointed white man. Now comes th Anti-Roosevelt press kicking u high jinks because the pres: dent turns down a colored ma and appoints a white man. Vic the Wilson colored postmaste held certificates from leadin white men and Democrats, wh urged his reappointment, bt Senator Pritchard convince President Roosevelt the negr was not wanted, and the pres dent acted accordingly. Th Democratic press will have noti ing good from Roosevelt an they keep up a damning polic. The appointing power in th hands of the Representative from the different States woul greatly relieve the Chief Exec1 tive, and it would have a ter dency to keep down racial an sectional feuds. There is n doubt any where that the al pointment of negroes to in portant offices at the nort would be as distasteful there, a they. are in the south, and tlh appointing power ought not 1 intlict a community with a di: tasteful appointment, at th same time, as long as the powe of appointment rests in tL hands of the leader of a politico party, the "outs" will fight th "ins" and much inconsistenc and hypocrisy will be indulge in.

SUMMERil O'DONNELL & CO., General Merchants. SUMTER, S. C., February 10, 1903. We are sole agents for the counties of Lee, Clarendon and Sumter for the Caldwell Cotton Planter. This Planter, after two years' experience in our section, has conclusively proven its claim to being the most satisfactory and all-round most economical Planter now in use. It plants the smallest possible quantity of seed, 12 to 15 quarts sufficing for an acre, and spaces them at the exact distance desired; most desirable points in view of the high price of cotton seed and the present slovenly condition of labor. All agree, hands just will not chop out the cotton uniformly, so that a machine that will counteract this difficulty, must commend itself. This certainty of a perfect stand, together with the enor mous saving of cotton seed, should induce every farmer to own one of the Planters. Read the following testimonials from some of our most relia ble farmers. For terms apply to us. O'DONNELL & CO. Waste of Cotton Seed in Planting. The South has never stopped to think how much money is wasted in planting each cotton crop. Let us figure it out and see. Upon a safe esti mate not less than 400,000 tons of cotton seed are used each spring in plant } ing. The seed is sown lavishly in drills-not dropped at certain distances, as corn-and after the plants are up the cropis thinned with a hoe, more than nine-tenths of the young plants being cut out. Here we find that the seed used in planting the cotton crop would bring in the market at least $6,400,000. As nine-tenths of this is wasted, we see here a total waste of over five and one-half million dollars ($5,760,000). It is time for the cotton growers of the South to call a halt to this ex travagance. The old system of sowing cotton seed in the drill is a remnant of the times when cotton seed was almost worthless. Since then their value has so much enhanced that a change should be made in the manner of planting. Instead of sowing the serd in drills, drop them at a distance wanted, and by following this method not only the labor of thinning is saved, but nearly 400,000 tons of good cotton seed is saved for commercial use, and the farmers of the South are five million dollars richer. The Caldwell Cotton Planter saves the seed, plants and gives good stand with one peck to acre, saves enough seed to pay for itself in one sea son. Inquire for it. Agents in all principal towns. Sumter, S. C., August 21, 1902. Messrs. O'Donnell & Co., Sumter, S. C.: The Caldwell Cotton Planter I purchased of you I would state worked satisfactorily. It spaced with reg ularity, giving me a desirable stand. I intend using it again next season. Richard I. Manning. Mayesville, S. C., August 16, 1902. Messrs. O'Donnell & Co., Sumter, S. C. Dear Sirs: I bought of you last season a Caldwell Cotton Planter. Will state.that it is a perfect planter, and I was well pleased with it. In my judgment it did all that was claimed for it. I intend using it again this next year. It struck me cotton stood drought better where this was need, as it was properly spaced. J. E. Wilson. Catcheall, S. C., August-23, 1901. I used the Caldwell Cotton Planter the pastseason, and can say it gave satisfaction, and proved in its simplicity and accuracy, all that was claimed by its inventor. It is strongly made, and all the combinations in spacing, distance and regulating amount of seed used, etc., were quickly and readily made. Used on well -made beds, there was, besides the saving of seed, as surance of a good stand regularly spaced, with a uniform number of plants to the hill. Yours truly, R. J. Brownfield. Panola, S. C., August 18, 1902. O'Donnell & Co.: I have used several cotton planters and discarded them all for the "Caldwell." It gives me most satisfaction by dropping any amount of seed at whatever distance wanted, and by causing less draw on fertilizer than drilled cotton. Also economizing in seed, better stand by being concentrated, making hoeing much easier to unskilled labor. J. M. Richardson. Sumter, S. C., August 16, 1902. Messrs. O'Donnell & Co., Sumter, S. C. Gentlemen: I used one of your Caldwell Cotton Planters this year and am much pleased with it. I used Ione half bushel of seed per acre and got a geod stand. The cotton planted 'with it cost 80 cents less per acre to hoe than that planted with a drill planter. Yours very truly, . P. M. Pitts. Pinewood, S. C., August 15, 1902. Messrs. O'Donnell & Co., Sumter, S. C. Dear Sirs: Itgives me pleasure to state ihe Caldwell Cotton Planter I bought of you proved very satisfac tory. The spacing at exact distance was of great advantage. It struck me that those of my neigbors who like myself used your Planter, did not have their cotton to turn yellow like those where the cotton was irreu larly chopped out, and where there were left in many instances two stalk.
