"A* Artstomcy'i IMl 84mm1." Ne? York Sua. In most cities a chance of majors is not accompanied bj social convulsions. In Charleston, S. C.,| It hi different. Since the beaux and belles and their watchful eldem strutted on the battery, with . catches and powder and brocade id high-heeled shoes and jealous piers. Charleston has been ruled iy the "upper class.". Even when Tillman descended from the meager uplands and in the name of the disDensarv harried the natrlriane with his janissaries the former kept the city while they cursed the proletariat In their beards. From time immemorial the Plnckneya, the Alstons, the Rhetts, the Be.rnwells, the I.?egires, the Porchers and the rest of the an-! olnted coterie have ruled Charlestoe with a haughty if a condescending hand. Last Tuesday's elections, therefore, marked not the passing of the mayorality from one incumbent to another, but the downfall of as institution, the period of a regime and the birth of a new dispen-! nation. An entire oligarchy was eommitted to oblivion when Grace triumphed at the polls. Traditions crumpled and systems were transformed. The rooted usages of gen-' rations, a supremacy so anchored la observance that it seemed 10 partake of immortality, disappeared before a vulgar onslaught. The ancient aristocracy submerged by a bourgeois inundation, sank beneath the surface and a suddenly! unchained "rabble" went mad with unexpected victory. Hence the ston-j Ing of The News and Courier office! and the breaking of the windows of the electric company presided over by a Gadsden. Lfp to a very few years years ago a familiar phenomenon at White Sulphur Springs, for almost a cen- \ tury, the palladium, so to speak, j of the South's elect, was the relig-1 lous solemnity of complacent and u|jci jur gruupB as a man or uemigod passed by with tragic face and long frock coat. '"That's the mayor of Charleston," would be whispered by revenent lips. Senators and governors and grave members of high tribunals might come and go without exciting special comment. "Why not, after all, since the whole gathering was composed of folks thought Charleston was all of it and something more besides. He j represented hereditary, conse- ; quence and granduer. He was a link in a long chain of birth and precedence and privilege, the surviving official representative of class." Thus he was a glory unto himself, and thus the mere visIon of him and all he typified brought ailent rapture to the: proudest Southern heart. So it is over. The last remaining stronghold of a political aristocracy has been invested and privilege has perished in the final trench. IUTEEN CENTS FOR COTTON, j Farmers Who Have Been Hoping For 16c Cotton Will Greet the Good News With Rejoicing. When the cotton season first op- j ened, the farmers thought they I would be lucky to getl2 cents for their fleecy staple but the bears on the New York Exchange manipulated things so well from their point of view that before one-fourth of the crop had been harvested the market went below ten cents, and in this manner the sharks of wall street robbed the hard working Southern farmer of his justly earn-,! ed money. The decline did not stop st the 10 cent level but keDt de-l scending until to-day cotton is selling in Dillon below nine cents. To counteract the direful effect1 of nine cent cotton and avert a financial stringency to surpass the "panic year" the allied industrial and commercial world of the country should align themselves with the farmers. ' A Dillon concern, a firm of established reputation for square dealing, a firm which is perhaps more interested in the wellfare of the farming class than any other, is announcing in this issue, a plan whereby the farmers of this section ! may realize the value of 15c fori their cotton, even if the buyers on-| ly give nine cents for it, and this is the enterprising store of Morris Fass. The page ad we are running for him announcing the opening of a great Piercing Arrow Sale with its many advantages tells the tale with all the strength of simplicity. When this store makes an an-| ouncement people take notice?it's always known that when Morriss Fass goes after business he does not hesitate to cut the price and he always "makes good" on what he advertises and this time we would judge that he has overstepped his usual liberalue8s. When he makes the statement in his ad that you can oome to this sale and realize 15c for every pound of cotton you sell, you can bank on that being Just the facts and nothing else. The ale has been well advertised all through the country. The mysterious advertising was the "best evAfi" KnJ J? ? - * ?> u?u Bicjjuuuy guessing ana of coarse there were the usual "1 told you so people" on hand who knew what the little circulars meant all the time. The Sale will open Saturday morning at 8 o'clock and it ought to be a J-E. day for Dillon. Saved Many From Death. W. L. Mock, of Mock, Ark., believee he has saved many lives in his 25 years of experience in the drug business. "What I always like to do," he writes, "is to re-, eommend Dr. King's New Discov-I ery for weak, sore lungs, hard eol<L>, hoarseness, obstinate coughs, la grippe, croup, asthma or other bronchial affection, for I feel sure that a number of my neighbors are alive and well to-day because they took my advice to use it. 1 honestly believe its the best throat and lung medicine that's made."
