Entered at the Poet Office at Pickens 1ia Aecond-class matter. PICKENS, S. C.,: Thursday, October, 9, 1902. Some of the Republican hosts are no doubt wishing that Roose velt had "gotten it in the neck" instead of the leg. ? w w Evan P. Howell has been elected mayor of Atlanta. And now his friends are predicting that he will be a How(el) hug success as may or. The numorcus applications that are made for houses to rent these days in Pickons is hut an indica tion of the wave of prosperity that is unmistakably upon us. 1)ospite the hindrances from rainy weather, farmer have by closr attention and work at th right times, managed to. save the hay an^lcu idirIy well up with the ..-'' fast opening cotton. By wheat Sowing time the prosont year's crops will have been harvested. w "The public school is the placc to which wo should turn chief at tontion in our eflort to promotO a more beautiful public lifo in Amer ica. The school house and thi school grounds should 1) boaiti ful, and t,he child should be sur. rounded by beauty in the school room from first to last. Trained in the habit of seeing beauty and knowing it, he will comllo inlstine. tively to hate ugliness in the house and in the street, as ho goes out, Advertiaing pays. This may b( doubted a little, but it is a faci neverthles,s that judiciouls advor tisi)g brings returns almost imnmo" diiatoly and keops the a Ivortiser ii the public mind. Thie pubhc is " fickle quantity, and no busines6 Juan need hopo for his full share of the public patronage who does not keep himself in touch with the people, and let them know all along that his business is managod in such a way as to meet the de mands of public necessity and pop. uilar fancy. * * There could not be a bettor time to plan and move for a summer hotel in Pickons than right now. This kind of onterprise, organized with suflicient capital to buihld and equip it and advertise, would do as nmuch for Pickens and the country about aB anything pOssihio of sug. geation within moderate bounds. And when we think of it, the soheme would not require such an enormous outlay to make it the success it should be. All present advantages would contribute to this plan. Elvan P'. Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution has beenu elected may or of Atlanta, over two other can didatos for the office, Moss Johnson and Woodward. Mr. Howell's majority over the two shows some thing of newspaper influence in Georgia, for it was a warm fight from start to finish. There is not, so much difference in elections, whether in Georgia or South Car olina, but in Georgia they general ly manage to stump the field with out having the speakers always to gether. Each has his appointed time to speak and thus the business of camplaigning is not so oembarras sing to the candidates. AS TO EDUCATION. Governor Aycook of North Oar olina is reported to have said re. eently: "The people have a rilght to the privilege of education and it is the duty of the state to guard and maintain that right. The otrongtha of overy community is dependent on the average of the Iuteligence of that commnunity, and this intelligeuce Is dependent upjon the education of the entire mnass and not..of the fews " No tr'uer or .better or more timely Words have soer been~ spoken byi G*overnor or private clitsn and, the people are reoognising this and striving bravely for the aooonm. ,Plishment of the things towards W1hi,h education is the greatest lever. TilE.STATE PAIR T1he St#te Fair will be held this fear.

T1he failure of Presidont Rooso, volt to bring about an agreoment betweon the operators and the nine strikers is a great disappoint iienit to tho iiationt. Whii Cle)ossi bly iliany had1( little faith ini the abilit y of the P'resident to aidj ust the di fferences, yet the mere fact that the P'residenut inivitod both1 sie to a joint conference in Washington, anid both the mine owners and strikers so readily agreed to meet with the President, things at leaist looked hopeful Fortunately, in Pickens and Pick ens county the failure to end thle strike is of little consequene. Providence is lavish in the supply of fuel in this part of the world. Bunt in the large cities of the ios th, the manufacturing inlternsts will be seriously crippled and the suif. foring among the poor this~ winter wvill be appalling. There is al ways more or less suffering, even when the sup)ply of coal is abun dant and a crisis stands before the nation which it has hiot yet in its history had to face. TIhe conference which so many hiad expected so much from, has ended in dismoI failuro-ini fact worse thani failure, as both sides are only more determined than ever to coatinuo the strike to the bitter end. Many are ol the opin ion that the President was too lenient in his dealing with the sit uationl. A.We doubt that from the fact that It w as special request of the President that the contending parties come to Washington for a special oon ference with the President.as peace. malker and it would have been un. usual to change a peace conference inlto war. We belleve however,that the President am the head of this nation is going to have to take the matter up again very moon, much as he seems to dread is, and deal in a much more "strenuous" way with the operators than in the peace conference. The striker. left that conference in a much bot ter light in the eyes of the nation than did the operators: They agreed to leave the matter solely in the hand, of a committee ap' pointed by the 1resident, fanim showed their bblief i the justice of their gause. Thbe operators re, fused any anah a..m *ina showed a hauty disposition to e tinuo thu striko to the bitter o1 How bitter that end will b0 [ shall see.
