After the death of his father h became owner of the old home stead, purchasing it largely o credit, but in throc years by pusih energy and good management h lifted every obligation aln( was thi owner of 500 acres of valuabli land. In the summer of 1877 he mar ried Miss Alice Brown, a daugh ter of Dr. Brown of Andersot County, who was one of Andersoi county's chonen standard-hearer for the State Legislature in th< dark days of '76. In .1880 Mr. Latimer moved t< Belton in Anderson County, an< a continued cultivating the soil, am 1 has until today been closely iden -tified with the toiling masses en gaged in agricultural pursuits. B' Ihis success in every enterprise ii which he has engaged, ho holdi and enjoys the confidence of his people as but few men do. Mr. Latimer wvas the leadin! splirit in the organization of tha movement for united action among the wealth-producers of Andersoi SCounty which resulted in the os tablishment of the Alliance co-op erative store, an institution tha has saved his 1people thousands o dollars and educated hundreds ni the science of economy and th great benefits of "equal rights t all and special privileges to none. He was in hearty accord wit] Sorganmzation of the Farmers Alli ance and hastened among the firs to place his name on the musto roll of that grand organization an< has held many positmens of trus andl honor in it. Heb was one o the delegates to the National Alli ance at Ocala, Fla., from Souti -Carolina and1 distinguished him. self in that body-a convention o: - delegates from thirty-five States o: L the Union-by his many stand am ablo advocacy of the Alliance de. - mnands as adopted at Ocala. * In 1890 he was urged to becomi a candidate for Lieutenant Gover, no~r on~ thme ticket with Farmer Till man and, though there wvas at thai 1 time 110 candidate in thme field, h< rofused to allow his name to b< used(. Heo was elected chairman oj the Anderson County Demiocracy during the memorable campaign of 1890, and was again elected in' the spring of 1892. During both camp)aigns ho took an active par! and made many tolling speeches in behalf of Reform. In South Car olina today lie standls one of the staunchest Reformers in the State and without a superior in deos otion~ to Alliance princip~les. At the urgent recquest of his friends, Mr. Latimer entered the race for Congress in 1892. He won honor by making a vigorous aggressive fight and received the Democratic nomination by a ma 'jority of more than a thousand voters. i Hbis faithful attention to his du ties as a Representative and his L solid worth as a man have made his influence felt. He is one of the best men the State has had in . Congress since the war. 1 Mr. Latimner entered Congress a 010Q study and appliobtion to #very question presented to the I '1ouse and a strong desire to serve E his constituents, he has done good a work; he has served with credit to s himself and his State. The first bill he introduced was t for the relief of Newberry College i for damages to the amount of $15,- 1 000 sustained by that institution e in the fall of 1865. Although this a claim has not been presented un- I til this late day, yet by persistent t efforts, ho succeeded in pressing t the monsuro to a vote, and if it i had not been for combined effort V on the part of ox-Czar Reed with 1 somo Eastern Democrats, the bill a would havo passed the House by a c two-thirds vote. Mr. Latimer also came to the i aid of his State in the railroad tax 1 complication by introducing a bill t authorizing the Stato authorities 1 to levy and collect taxes from rail- t roads in tho hands of roceivors. I This Act resulted in the Stato's o collecting thousands of dollars of taxos hold back by the railroads, r though duo the State. t Mr. Latimer also introduced a bill providing a better and more t oconolnical plan of distributing ( seed by the Agricultural Dopart- i mont than the present extravagant i system. It proposed giving $5,000 I to each agricultural station or col- I Sloge for the purposo of growing a and distributing sed. Should i this bill become a law, every farm- f or and gardener in South Carolina e i could be supplied with improved v varitios tosto and acclimatized at I our own station at Clemson. Mr. Latimer is now prepairing c a bill to introduce when Congress i i meets again which, if it becomes a t law, will give to south Carolina 1 1,230,000 acres of land to bo used t as an educational fund. All the h States except the original thirteen have been allowed liberal grants e - of land for school purposes, some r of the States have bean given every e k tenth section in the township I throughout the State, while other c States havo been given both the q sixteentn and thirty-second sec- c tions. Thoso grants amount to c from 500,000 to 1,500,000 acres to 'I I the State. The United States 1) I govornment still owns 600,000,009 a acres of p~ublic land ; 300,000,000 v -of this will make the States all a e qual in grants for school purpos- lh There are some of the special n measures advocated by Mr. Lati mor, but only from a small part I i of the valuable services rendered ) L his constituents. His constant v i attendance at the sessions of the t I Houses and committee meetings, ni - votos recorded on every measure t - and watchful care for the interests s t of his constituents in matters of t f detail, mark him as a Represonta- t 1 tive worthy of the confidence and 3 affection of his constituents. > Their appreciation of his worth was shown by his re-election to s 1 Congress without opposition in - the Democratic primary. t In all the relations of life, ast 6 neigh bor. friend, official, . churchi r I member, Sundaiy school worker, ' L business man or Allianceman, he I has always beon true to himself, a - his fellow man and his God.-Co- e lumbia Register. oIvn NAVY Aan MILITIA. I, c Sucesf sa Outeensem of Gen. WVatts.' E Noru'gaern Trip. Adjutant General Watts, who ~ has beoen receutly in WVashington, d Baltimore and Newv York, has ro- a turned and his trip wvas a very suc- ni cessful one. 1Jo wvent in the inter- a oat of the militia and the naval re- h serve and ho accomplished all that h ho hoped for. b In answer to the question, o "What did you do?" Gon. Watts a replied: i "Well, when I got to Washing- ti ton I found that both tihe United ti States Senators and our Congress- hi had returned home, so that in the ir absence of an opportunity for an i introduction to the Secretary of i the Navy by one of them, which is ~i customary, I called upon our friend c] Capt. Capers, who as one of the h United States Attorneys has busi- hi ness from time to time with the eI government officials. Capt. Ca- I peors and myself wvont over to the P~ War, State and Navy Departments b) and met 'thd pon era that to'. c I had a lo:ng and very satisfae- a tory talk with Sedretary Herbert, of a the Navy, and with Liout. Schoutzo, i and afterwards met First Assistant hi Secretary of War, Gee. B. Doe. ti These officials treated me with is great courtesy and were very much a interested both in our militia or- ii gnn ization and in our naval reserve. ti "I called to the attention of the i Tavy Department the fact that t louth Carolina had not received I ,n appropriation for the naval re- I erve since 1892. I found the do- ' artment under the impression t bat we had no intention of keep- ( ag up our naval reserve, but < rhen I reviewed the disastrous f fects all along the coast, as arre- I uit of the recent terrible storms, < found no trouble in convincing i hem that our offorts since that 1 ine and the purpose of this visit i ndicated'in no uncertain way that I re intended to go ahead and keep I [p our naval reserve force. In the 1 Luditor's office of the Navy I suc- I ceded in securing the promise of 1 , approprsation for 1893, amount ng to $2,858.87, the prospect for rhich has boen very gloomy up to 1 his time. Of course I did not ose the opportunity to speak of he Charleston and Port Royal har- 1 ors and of our magnificent coast i xposure so well adapted to the1 urposos and practices of a naval 1 eservo force. I called their at- 1 ention, too, to the fact that ap ropriations are made according o the State's representation in 1 0ongress and not to the relative i tumerical strength of tho State's 4 aillitia. "Secretary Herbert, as you no Loubt know, is a South Carolinian ,nd from my old home, Laurens, i fact he was a schoolmate of my I athor's, a matter which he him- i elf brought to my attention, and ro talked of mutual friends in the 'iedmnont section for quite a whi lo. "I finally succeeded in getting tie three-inch gun and two small oats and the promise of the Yan ic or a monitor to be loaned us for ractico and use on our coast. As I o just what vessel I will select I I ave not yet docided. "In the War Department I was qually successful in making am angoments which will greatly ben- I fit our militla.

It is, 11e experience of commission * ouses that the recent advance has f, qidatod a large portion of the f< cottoni which they have held for on thorn account, and the reason, >r this action on the part of the outh can ba found mn the usual n isposition of the peole to accept t. mall profits when for years the iarket has been declining.

Thmoroforo we are iclined to believe that the reduc- 6 on in acrae will 1be as large as b wii in 1892, if not larger, from he sheer inability of the Southern olanter to extend .his credit for the ourpose of raising another crop, he local situation has developed he fact that the holders of May loliveries accumulated a largo line if cotton on the decline, at about in average of present prices, and ,hey are satisfied to receive the sotton when tendered. Unfortii lately the cotton which has been )rought to New York this year haIs tccululatod at a loss to the im )orters, and consists of selected grades purchased for the require nents of the spinning trade, and Ihey are not willing to tendor ipon contract deliveries, as thej vould be unablo to roplaco thei ioldings at satisfactory prices. ,his combination, together witl1 Ahe fact that a largo portion of ti trbitrage dealings between Liver. )ool and New York was centeroc n this position, has cause that do ivery to advance proportionetil noro than the other positions, ani Jhe end of the complication is no et clear.
