The Man About Town. 'Country Newspapers. Although country editors are nearly j r always poor, there are plenty of per-' ^ sons who believe that ball th^ para graphs in a country newspaper are paid t i'jr with enormous bribes. There are a!-; w ays two sidv s to every question, and j whicherei side aa editor falls on, the : *p irtis?ns of the other accuse him ofbe-j ing "bought." It is little wonder, there-' j. f >re , that the alitor is seld'tfn a popular . man. I never knew one who was, and ; T I never knew one who was n >t often ar oused ui-justly. Probably the people be T-isieve in bribes to editors because it is a very rare editor who does not accuse his * opponent of being a bribe t.iker, creat ing a preju-ice against themselves and r their calling. J?:izy and incompetent ? - editors nearly always explain the sue ? ? cess of their more vigorous opponents by - declaring that they enrry on a system oi blackmail. I once visited a large citx , r-fchc newspapers of which I had long ad mired almost with reverence, and I was surprised to bear a citizen sav that what vthe city really needed was better* pa mpers ; they would bring eastern capital. : Kvery citizen of a country town want* At\s rocaSity boomed to the end ihat he - may se'l bis fifty dollar lot for five hun - dred ; he can appreciate how a reall\ ,good paper mi,zht aid him in this, and * because his lot-does n?.t advance in value -as he thinks it should, he has a griev ance against the editor- He longs for i.ar. editor with seme "snap" in him. I * don't know what ''snap" means, but 1 *know this is the quality usually thought *to be lacking. There are more great men in every country town than really .exist in the nation, and if they are not recognized, the local papers are of no -account. I w.is once bothered a good . ? "deal by a certain man who said he could ? -clean more Aickenfc in an honr than any t other chicken ileawer in the world, and ? i"*e*ranter}the f*ct mentioned. Men who : are never^svspeeted of greatness by oth 1-er people *eciiBe*theinseh-es <5f itto the -editors, nnd^wnen'they refese to mention Tii? greatness, *they *are told that their ?> eoiumns contain a great j -deal of stuff not half so in teresting. It hts tjecurred to me that when a citizen ot a country town be comes drunk, the first thing he does is to hunt up the editor to tell him what is -?the matter with the community. ?

[From our regular correspondent ] Washington. July 11 1893. Speaker Crisp has gone h?me toj get as much rest, as possible be-j fore the extra session, which pub-, lie opinion here thinks will rnn in | to the regular session which prom ises to be longer than the usual [long session, and those M his frit-nils who are in Washington | mer? ly smile Iq . see the antics of the Jerry Simpson party, which is so far otjly sure of one vote,' al though it may get those of nil the populists. The Jerry Simpsonites or to he ixact Jerry Simpson, lus hatched up a wonderful scheme for ? the d#feat of Mi Crisp bv a com bination of the populists, Repub licans and Silver Democrat?, who arej to support Representative ?Julious C. liuirows, of Michigan, for Speaker. Jerry's whole struc ture is awry. He starts out by assuming that the silver Democrats do not wish Mr Crisp rejected Speaker, an assumption that there are absolutely no facts to support. NH^peak?r ever presided over tln IIouse will: more fairness than Mr Crisp: not once duiing the last Congress was lie >v u accused ol making a decision or ruling tinc tured in the slightest degree with . prejudice f<?r or against any meas ure. Therefore it is nonsense to say that anybody is opposed to him on Account ot a fear that he will be unfair, he doesn't know how to be ui.fuir. Jerry's next assumption is also wrong. No Democrat, whatever his individual opinion on the silver question, would bolt his party caucus to vote for such a radical Republican as Burrows during his long Congressional career has shown jimself t-> be, even if Iiurro<vs could get the Republican caucus nomination, which he cannot do as long as Tom Reed maintains his ascendency oter the Republican Representative}, and there is noth ing to indicate that it has been broken. So the Jerry Simpson parly m a \ never grow beyond ju originator, as it is by no means Certain that the other populists will follow his lead in anything; those who were in the last House didn't do it to any extent. The re-election of Speaker Crisp is, of course, a certainty, and it is extremely probable that lie will e?]joy ih?: unusual honor of receiv ing the nomination unani mously ^by the democratic, caucus; and tlifete will be no split in the Democrat -arty upon either the speakership or any other matter. The leaders of the party recognize that a wide difference of opinion exists in the party as to what fi nancial legislation is necessary, but they are certain that after a careful and calm discussion of the points of difference a common ground wili be reached upon which every Democrat can ?tand, an?l whicii v\iil thoroughly . restore public confidence and renew the prosperity of the country, now suffering because of Republican legislation which the administra tion must, necessarily obey unUl it is repealed. The vaporing* of | damagogutsof the Jerry Simpson st ripe will cit no tigure in the next House. Senator Vorhees has net, as has been repeatedly stated in ftepubli- j can papers, changed his position j on the silver ^question. lie favors the repeal of 4he Sherman law, but that is no change, as he voted against it in the Senate and told; thefiieiHi* of silvvr who voted i for it that they had made a mis ; take which thev would live to regiet Secretary Gresbam says that the administration hts at. no tim? ! officially criticised any act of, Minister Blount. That ought to put a slop to ii?e silly lie apparent-; ly originated in Hawaii that Min ister hi.iuut had been censured j because of his preventing the ar i rest :Jf Mr N ?rdhofft the corres pondent, by the pinchbeck govern ment of Hawaii, because of his letters criticising that governmeni and its method?. Anotiier batch of pensioner* hove oeeu dropped ^ from the Phila delphia district, making a total- of about 500 dropped in that district -ince the examination of the rolls was commenced. All of those were pensions granted under the act of 1890, commonly known as the de pendent pension bid. Owing to a change in the con tract for printing the PaWnt Office G '.zette, which contrinsthe wetkiy list of patents granted, the last number was four days late in get ting out, and Commissioner Sey mour says there may be some ,.de lay for several weeks on account of the change. There is a cks^of writers for the press that always lose their heads entirely when a prominent person is the leaet unwell. Notwithstand ing nil the silly rot that has been printed about Mr Cleveland's dan gerous illness, it enn be posi lively stated that the toothache and a slight attack of rheumatism was as ne*r dangerous illness as he has been and further that he is daily attending to his official duties and is in constant communication with Private [Secretary Thnrher, i wh ) remains at the White House.

South Carolina "Weather Ser- i k'iee for tho Week ending 3Ioiirtay, July 10, 18D3. ^ ?. \ >? . The temperature for the past ?6ven days lias ranged unusually h'gh over the State, Clieraw reaching 104. With iho exception of July 3rd and 4th, few showers have occured wf any consequence and crops are parched and famished f??r la?k of rain. A genaral cry comes from ail sections for rain and unless showery occur shortly grpat injary will result. Cotton is repo-ited late from one to two weeks, and while slight improvement is noticed, it is not sufficiently wide spread to warrant' much considerati n. The majority of reports concede the plant to be small with bottom leaves withering and turning red, with few blooms, deficient in fruit and badly hurt by being worked clean of grass during the hot weather. While some little is said to be luid by ; some is still in the grass. Corn has Dcen laid by in good condi-. tion iiiN^ie majority of the counties. There are many complaints of its being badly fir<?d and in som,? sections beyond j recovery, and even in the best counties it has lost a large percentage of its im provement for lack ol showers du-ing the extreme heat. ("ktrdens are failing fast. Potatoes are about the only thing whioh has derived any great benefit from the weather of the past week. A good rain fell in por tions of the coa*t counties Sunday night, under the influence of which crops have greatly revived in that section. J. II. IIakmox, Central Station^ Director. Columbia, S. C. ?

In fact, we have never used remedies that compare with them. Of the Pliis we must say they are the best com bination of the qualities required. In ?? prep aration of their nature we nave ever known.
