NOTKS AND COMMENTS. The State Fair is having full swing this week and Editor Gonzales and his enterprising stall are keeping abreast of the procession. It is diffi cult to tell which to admire more the wonderfully varied exhibition itself, or the skill, activity and enterprise manifested by the State newspaper in displaying it all before the eyes of the reading public. The State is the strongest factor in Columbia’s material progress and is by no means a dead head when it comes to Colum bia’s morals. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The census figures are at last be fore the public and the nation may pause for a ra&uient and see how big It is. The population is announced to be 76,295,220, which is a gain of 13,000,000 in ten years. The popu lation of South Carolina is 1,340,312, being a gain of 189,163 since last census, or 16.9 per cent. The south has held its own in the increases and in some cases surpassed some of the northern States, notwithstanding the stream of foreign immigration always flowing into those States. It is a rare thing for the first of November to find this Piedmont re gion without a killing frost. We have known such a frost to come as early as the middle of September, yet now on the first of November the grass is still green and the flowers are still blooming. But for the dry weather we might have still been eat ing snap beaus, roasting ears and all other vegeta*ble8 that grow in the summer. Every farmer should get the full benefit of the late fall by gathering his crops, pasturing his stock, getting in the winter supply of wood and, above all, by preparing a wide acreage for wheat. There are other “Scraps of His tory” which ought to be of thrilling interest to the people of this day and wg should like to furnish some of them for our readers. Especially should we like to detail the outrages perpetrated on the people of Laurens county which led up to the “Joe Crews War,” but out of regard for the feeling of a few men still living we have concluded to desist for the present. Besides the resources of our own memory we have ample ma terial at hand out of which to con struct a story of vivid colors, but, perhaps under all the circumstances, that story had better not now be told. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The election is now only a few days off and it is the duty of every good citizen to go to the polls and de posit his ballot. No matter if the primary has virtually decided the election of the State and county offi cers, it is still a sworn duty to sup port the nominees. Then it is highly important that this State poll a big vote for the Bryan electors The email vote polled in similar elections heretofore in this and other southern States has attracted the attention of the dominant party in congress and they have been revolving the ques tion of cutting down our representa tion in congress to the basis of the votes actually polled. It is the duty of every man to do what he can towards forestalling any such an at tempt, and the only thing he can do is to turn out and vote. South Caro lina ought to poll 90,000 votes for Bryan next Tuesday. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ If the extension of streets and the building of new houses may be called Improvement, then Gaffney is im proving and that right along. There is hardly a street radiating from the town on which there are not new buildings; some finished, others half completed and others still not yet above the foundations. This work has been going steadily on for the past five years and it seems to gather momentum as it goes. There are no costly mansions going up, but the style of building has wonderfully im proved and is still Improving. The five hundred dollar cottage is now made by the skill of the architect a thing of beauty, and it surpasses in comfort end conveniences many of the old time residences which cost five times as much money. There is still plenty of room for more houses and they are coming. One hundred and twenty building lots are to be sold to-day and nearly two hundred more in the near future. At the present rate of growth Gaffney, at the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, will bo a city of 15,000 inhabitants. Make a mental note of this prediction. Attention Voter*. Mr. Editor:—Knowing your in terests are with the people for the election of that peerless leader of the Democracy—Wm. J. Bryan—I ask your permission to call the attention of the voters of Cherokee county to the following communication from the chairman of the National Demo cratic Party, and also the one from our own chairman. Chicago. Ills, Oct. 17, 1900.—Hon. VVilie Jones, Columbia, S. C. My Dear Sir: If we elect Mr. Bryan, and it seems now that the chances are very much in our favor to do so, we ought to do so by the largest possible majority. Hence, it is absolutely necessary that we get out every possible vote for him in each State. 1 am apprehensive that in our overwhelming Democratic States many of our people will be careless about going to the polls; that the same conditions will prevail in such Republican States as are absolutely hopeless, but this ought not to be allowed. The necessity for a full turnout on the part of the democrats and a full vote given ought to be impress! d up on our friends everywhere, and when their attention is called to it I feel sure that we will get a full vote. Let’s make the majority great, overwhelming, inspiring, so that not only Mr. Bryan but the country will understand that the people are be hind them in undertaking the reforms that are so much noeded. Write to your county committees, your local politicians, to your public men every where, to your newspapers, and urge that this be done. I send a copy of this letter to each member of the national committee and to the chairman of the Demo cratic State committee in each State, and hope the best results may come from it. Yours very truly. James K. Jones. To the Democratic Voters of South Carolina: In view of the present apathy which seems to exist among the democrats of this State as to voting at the general election, I feel it to be my duty as your chairman to address you in this public manner and urge that you all come out on November 6th and cast your votes for the demo cratic ticket from president to coro ner. Our people have gotten into the way of thinking that when they have cast their votes in the primary there is no further use to vote. But this is a very dangerous policy to pursue and may result in great harm to our State. Our State and county tickets are safe, as the republicans have put up no opposition at all. The republicans have an electoral ticket in the field composed mostly of negroes, and they have a candidate in every congressional district in this State hoping to have their candidates seated by a republican house. Let every democratic voter come out and vote for the democratic nominees in his district and elect them by such an overwhelming majority that not even a republican house would dare unseat them or even consider a con test. The democrats of this nation have given you one of the grandest, purest and most brilliant men this country has ever produced, and the democrats of this State have given you seven of your best men as candidates for con gress, and 1 cannot believe that you will not cotpe out and vote for them. We have heard of late various threats on all sides that our representation in congress would be reduced by a republican congress on account of our small vote in the general election. Now, fellow democrats, do not allow this serious charge to be made against you. Wilie Jones. State Chairman Ex. Com. I endorse in toto what these gen tlemen have said and would urge up on every democrat in the county to hunt up his registration certificate and go to the polls Tuesday and vote, for if the next house, national, is republicans, there will be an effort to cut down our representative in con gress, and I hope that we will show that Cherokee is true to democracy. There will be two tickets for electors in the field but remember the demo cratic ticket has the name of R D. Lee at the top of the names. Democrats turn out and give a full vote for the democratic electors, you know what republicanism has done for South Carolina. Very truly, Tjips. B. Butler, Democratic County Chairman. Mr. Editor:—In looking over the list of taxable properly in the State I notice that there is $183,030,613 to tal taxable property. And not havipg seen this statement in your paper and thinking the people of the county might be interested in knowing where young Cher okee stands among the forty counties as to wealth, I ask space to give the following figures taken from the daily press. Of the forty coun ties Cherokee has more taxable per sonal property than thirty-two coun ties, and has more total taxable property than twnety-three of the other counties; footing up to the neat sum of $3,999,171.

[New York Tress.] Clerk’s Sales No man with whiskers has got any right to put butter ou bis green corn. The best lesson we learn from our enemies is to be deeper than they are. The girl that dosen’t put io more time fixing her hair than she does saying her prayers won’t stand much show with the men. You often meet men who are too modest to get married, but most of the women you meet are generally too married to get modest. There is only one bigger fool than the man who tells his wife everything that happened before he married her, and that is the woman who does the same thing to her husband. Every old maid’s heart has a sign “To Let.” When a woman tries to be equal to men she makes herself unequal to woman. The great advantage in understand ing a woman is not having to pretend you do. It’s a funny thing that though you often see a sad-looking woman you never see a sad-looking cow. You always get the worst of it with a woman. Which ever side of a bonfire you stand the smoke blows in your eyes. No woman feels as much like a Christian at an auction as she does at a funeral. A woman’s idea of romance is for a man to marry her on her deathbed and then for her to get well. The peculiar fun a man gets out of going fishing a woman gets out of giving men chances to propose. When a woman is in love with & man she always likes to hear gome other women say something against him, so that she can stlnd up for him. It is only in that a man mis- behaveirwhen his wife is away from home. In real life he knows that all the women in town are watchiog him too close. It's a man’s own fault if his wife overhears him talking in bis sleep. Every man understands women well enough to let on before them that he dosen’t. It’s a funny thing you never hear of dentists getting into scandals the way family doctors do. If every woman could get the man she wanted, the nicest ones would still be left for the rest. Married without love is about as unsatisfactory as it is to eat the clove without having the drink. Blacksburg Kulttlug Mill.
