THE WAY IS BElfiHT F 0 R SOUTH CAROLINA. SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS IN THE PALMETTO STATE WHICH IS BEIIG EXTENSIVELY PUBLISH1 ED THROUGHOUT THE UNIT ED STATES- INCREASED CROP V Al ucs. "Perhaps some of South Carolina's alleged spokesmen have given persons of other sections, dependent upon such spokesmen for Impressions warrant for a misconception of conditions In this State. It mey be true that South Caroiinians are subject to periodic spells.' but certainly the Palmetto State is well over the political convulsions that made it conspicuous a doz en or moro years ago. She is free from the laintcst influence of socialism or populism, and is fat reiuovad from i radicalism. "And there is little likelihood of; 1 radical turn. Excepting Georgia, the condition of cotton in this State is the ; best in the country, and the estima- J ted yield of 1.200,000 bales is expected j to fetcli the grower $73,000,000. The oil mills will nav the cotton farmer* another $8,000,000 for the cotton seed. . m iking a t*>'al of $.89,090,0.K} for the tni? crop.

' ?Va: At the same time South Carolina is the largest cotton manufacturing f^Outo in the South, ft lauding second in the Union. Her mills will consume this year about 700,000 bales of cotton the raw material being worth at pre. vailing prices 115,600,000. "It is not surprising, therefore, that the people of the palmetto State are In peaceful and Cheerful mood. No" where is lhc-e less friction between the races: indeed, ahiut all that is heard of such strife is what, sifts through reports of spec dies delivered from the lecture platform in other sections 01 in? C'liiin.ry. ' Inquiry made here recently developed the fact that, at the last session of I lie legislature there was no socialistic legislation proposort, and nothing was clone toward regulation of railroad rates. South Carolina's attitude toward railroads is almost unique. "The board commissioned hy the legislature to'wind up the atlairs of the State dispensary' lias just ccnclu ded its labors It lias followed a constant trail of graft, but tlie tracks of individual oirenders are so well covered that it is uncertain whether prosocMtions will 1>e gone into. It will probably never he known whether South Carolina lost <'iic million or two inillion dollars through the opcr aliens ol these grafters. Hut the clisDensarv taught a lesson about the 'government ownership' that will not be forgotten iu a generation. it was the only instance. State or municipal where South Carolinians have attempted through a government to control any business The dispensary got into politics at the outset and corrupt ion and mismanagement were so plating that finally in spile of Senator Tillman's taking the stump i.i advocacy ot t lie system, it was overthrown "Tills is the tiist Mate to establish an immigration department for the encouragement ot select immigration. And Americans are more welcomed than foreigners "South Carolina's cotton mills will consume at present prices, somewhere between 4> and 50 million dollars worth oi raw cjtton ihis vear--or exceeding 7?><> ?>), for while, producing a very large quantity of cotton in proportion to area and population, this is t lie largest cotton manufacturing State in the Sout!i and is only second to Massachusetts.
