With cotton open in the fieldE foddor ripe on the stalk and olec tions galore, the farmer has littli timo for play. Pickons county counts aImor hor voters a big element of t.h most intelligent citizenship of til stato, It takes only a glance a the tabulated result of ti' sttt election to demonstrate ths ftl ly. * * * The fight is on in earnest >otwe(el John Gary Evans and A. C. Lat - mer, This is raco on which boast ful political calculators find it lifi ficult to settle aIy positiVoopilllons this far before the election. '1hings are crystallizing, however, and by next Saturday the rosult may be known with coniparative certainty. Y * M I'vea1 prido alwayy plays a1 con tlicioust part ill elections. This is creditable to any colmlunlity when the natn put forward for uIlice measures up to the r'cquisitos of oflice, and there never was a tino more opportulne for the asertiou of the priviloge of helping good nin to places of usofulnoss and trust. * M * Pickons showed ill so well iii the last election that politicians are esoing the weight of our vote as a factor inl state politics. Pickens county practically cast the deci ding vote in the late race for state Superintendent of Education, and she may decide other results in the second primary. This approxt mate full vote is gratifying for many reasons, not the least among which is the prestige and im1por tance it adds to the county. Some of the newspapors of the state would have us believe that the oloction of 0 B. Marttm to the office of State iSuperintendent of Education will prove a public ca lamity. All the publi school sense is not bottled up) in Mr. McMahanm, and Mr, Martin is as young and ac tivo and patriotic as Mr. McMahan and perhaps quite as well informed on alt matters appertaining to thei oi\ce, No doubt the businese of .t office will be carried on with as good e ffect as under M r. Iaihan, and wo do believe Mr ..lahani has worked reform ir school matters of South Carolina. * *t - When the Southern Rail wa' completes the scheme of double tracking its line from1 Atlanta t< Charlotte, this county will hav added to her attractions the die tinction of having within her limit a part of' the truuk line of one C the greatest systems of railwaysi t,he world. Every improvemer inaugurated by this railroad moat some advantage to Pickens count: and every element of growth in ti county means positive benefitsi the people. The legitimate a< vancement of any enterprise meal a corresponding advantage to tl people touched by it, and when tl progress is represented by rai roads, the benefits to be deori v ought to prove of lastingqualit y. Wt. Jasper Talbert is essentially politician-one of the smothost a ticles in that line that over "'can down the turnpike." Heyward is i the midst of his fist p)olitical figl with a lead that ought to flatter at candidate for any oflico with suc an array of worthy competitori Some predict the result in Hey ward', favor with assurance, othe good guessers shake their heads i: doubt, This much to our mint briefly stated, is certain; Talber is hopling and mcoving for suogeu with deep sohem, well laid, Il the event of his election and re eleotion two years hoenoo as Gov ernor, he will offer as the most for inidable canididate p)ossible to im itnagine in South Oarolina politic againlst B,.

The handsome vote polled in the first election evidences that Pickens county is growing and moreover that her people are tak ing a lively interest in the affairs of local government. The success ful candidates are grateful for the confidence of their fellow citizens S and the defeated canldidates havo accepted the decree of the pOOPle with grace undaunted artci are inl lino for the work of u1)h0(ling aud . maintaining tho prilciplos of the primary syston as a Collmoll luty. There is no sulking in camp.

All in all the canIaigl has been Conducted VigoroUsly but courto ously, so far as the candidates are Conlcer'ne(l, yft" there has be11 enough of spir1it. injected into it, to make it inost interostinlg. It is a crodit to Pickons c(ounit.y PoI)lo that after the boat of the )olitical hattlo they have always had the courage and the charity to hitry their political ditleroncos and join with one accord in lid ping the ad ministrations to follmw to le I lh successes they have always p)rovOll. In tho second prilmary let very voter makc it pairt of his duty to comno to the polls anl exercise his high privileges according to the right concol)tions of his dtuty as a citizon. DON'T FAIl TO VOTE. Every vote counts one and reg isters the free will and opinion of the voter and gives the expression of his sovereignty in all matters of government. It is the part of wis dom to come to the polls on olec tion day and exercise this privi lege and meet this duty. Pickens county did not poll her full vote on August twenty-sixth but on September ninth the opportunity will be given, In the real test of the public mind, to show what the majority of the voters want. Lot every voter, duly qualified, come to the polls on that day and do his duty. TIlE SCHOO0L COMMISEI0NER'S OFFICE. The office of Superintendent of Education 1s open to the field. Some excellent gentlemen have of fered for the place, any one of which would carry out the duities of the offico thoroughly and with fidelity. Thei late Mr. Bright has left a record in the administration of the affairs of that office that any of them would do wvell to hope or strive to emulate. The unexpirod term will be filled by Mr, B. Frank< -Freeman, nominally, while it is a understood that the perquisites 02 e the ofice will fall to the Missee .Bright wvho will continue to do the s routine work of the office until the i beginning of the next term. Ini a the seleotion of a gontlemian to .fil 1t the next term of thisa i)lico, some sof the hOst qualified in101 ini the county having ollerod, the people eof' Pick ens county need h ave no fear but that their school iinterests 1-. will_be pr1otted.

Which will the better represent the district? Tnat is the prevail . mg thought. In a matter' of suchb a consequence, small differences have . small weight in determining the , choice. The upper portioii of this If part of the state, now known as the e third district, has not had a repro. , sentativo in Congress since the~ days of John 0. Calhout.

Since the prinmary last week frantic appeals have been made to Senator Tillman by panicky candidates. They wish to be saved from defeat if it can possibly be done. They are now will. mug to make any pledges of loyalty and Bsnpport to T ilman.

Shoir Vtndow Artisans Cnn Con. )unad Uood Itcnauneration. A Broadway shoe manufacturer was asked what method of advertising ho found most profitable. "I'lacing my men near the window," he said, "so they can work in view of the public. I don't know of anything that catches the attention of the passer by more quickly than the sight of a demonstrator sitting close to the win dow running a machine for dear life. "Manufacturers of all kinds of goods have adopted this plan. Watetmakers put their most skilled workers on exhi bition to show how the finest garmenta are cut and sowed. Cigar manufactur ers take the public Into their confidence and let them see the process of rolling as performed by the cleverest hands. Men who deal in mechanical contriv ances have found that it pays to have at least one machine set up near a win dow so the crowd outside may observe the intricacy of its parts and the rapid ity of its action. Jewelers have station ed their most expert lapidaries within view of the street that postsible custom ers may see how precious stones are cut an(d polished and set. "It isn't everybody who can work in public. It takes a person with good strong nerves and concentration of thought to do difiicult work in a show window. I have men in my euploy who are excellent workers, but they get flustered when subjected to unusu al surveillance and ruin everything they put their hands to. I have tried some of them as window operators, but they can't get used to it. "A nmu who ean run a machine at full tilt or paint a picture or fry pan cakes or iron a shirt in the full gaze of the public eye and not lose his head is an artist and worth several dollars more a week to his employer than the more modest individual.
