Tho high prlcos of cotton that have prevailed until the last few weeks havo kept the cotton mill operators "guess ing." Tho prices of cloth did not rise proportionately and the consequence was that numbers of cotton mills had to shut down. At ono time it was esti mated that half the spindles in South Carolina were.not at work all the time. In the neighboring county of Spartan burg a largo proportion of the mills wero Idle a part of the summer and some of them, (we are not referring to| those that suffered by the June flood) did not turn a wheel for months. The depression In tho price of the raw cot ton probably means that most of the mills that have boon idlo will be able now to manufacture at a profit. Tho mills In Laurens county, by tho way, havo not closed down for a day. They bought their year's supply of cotton j when the price was nruond eight conts | last winter. If they had postponed buying until tho late spring thoy would Lave been compelled to suspend in part or olso manufacture at a loss. We should like to see the farmers of I Liurons county buy stook in tho cotton mills. We should like to see them have such an Investment that they would soo tho othor sldo of the cotton ques tion. We should like to gee them get ting s)me of the profits of cotton manufacturing. Not many farmers perhaps would be able to buy largo blocks of cotton mill stocks but numbers of them would "3 I ab?o to buy a few shares, say from Wo to llvo hundred dollars worth. Good stocks are always good collateral. Ono can always get money and get It quick and cheap when one has stocks. Th* banks accept such securities more | readily than thoy accept evon real es tate. There aro many farmers who by a little effort could take stock In the mills which arc being built In and -near Laurons county now. Those! farmers who have stocks in the old mills havo been pleased with the In vestment. * Cotton Prices. Very early In the spring frylngl chickens bring more money than in tho month of July. In the early spring thoy aro scarce. The early Florida strawberries which ripen in January bring fancy prices but in May straw berries are plentiful and therefore I cheap all over tho United States. This' yoav cotton wss scarce when the soa 8o*i opened. Then the bales began to roll into all tho towns and clt'.es by the thousands and down wont the prlcos. For the nest two or three months plenty of cotton will be vis.l- j bio. It may bo that the crop wtil be too small to run tho world comfortable until the crop of 1001 Is ready. Wo rather think such will be the case. It so, tho price will climb again In the spring?but wo really know nothing about it. Nobody knows. Nobody can know. Meanwhile, those who wish to wait can place their cotton In the bonded ware-houses and hold It cheaply and securely. They can borrow money on tho cotton if they must have the money. Judging from appearances about here tho crop will be short. It Is a long way from here to Texas. This is a big country. * A Paper Imposed Upon. Speaking of the Tlllman *oaso th? Abbovlllo Press and Banner says: "We believe that It Is now clalmod that the entire press of the stAto Is arrayed against the prisoner" and that "the whole pro9s of the state and five able lawyers, it would seem, ought to be able to convict almost anybody." The Press and Banner, being a sane news paper with an oJitor able to read as well as to writ?, must know that its Immediate nolghbor, the Abbeville Me dium, Is not "arrayed against the pri soner." Doe? tho Pres9 and Banner then consider Itself so "arrayed?" Doos It moan to charge that the Lau rensvillo Herald, for oxamnle, is so "arrayed?" Docs it make such a charge against the L?xington county newspapers and all tho Edgefleld pa pers?when as a matter of f<-.ct; the newspapers have not attempted to ln lluonoe the vordlot In tho case? Or did somo drive''ing idiot or groping drunk ard wander into the ofllco of the Press and Banner's able, accomplished and always conspicuously fair and gener ous editor in his absence and smuggle into the columns of the paper a state ment whose wicked falsehood is only equalled by its pitiable stupidity? First Cost Not the Cheapest. The first cost of an artlole does not necessarily determine its cheapness. For Instance, a sack of "Clifton" flour may cost you a little more than other so-called patent flours, but it will be cheaper to you in the end. Why? Be cause it will not only make more broad to tho sack, but take less lard and soda j to make It. Order a 3ack of "Clifton" and mako a test for yourself. It will prove the truth of this statement. T.

'11' night fell on tliroo of tho most unhappy people in tho $935SSm world; yet to euch had been iSffigpjp vouchsafed a partial roallza ito:i of a cherished hope. Coventry should havo been luxuriating in the thought of bis approach lug mnrrlugo lo tho > il l ho loved; Elizabeth should have been overwhelmed with joy at the ronpponrnnco of O'Neill, after his lonjf absence, und O'Neill during that thno liad asked for nothing but on opportunity to stand once more in tho prcmuico of his divinity. Tho doslro of eacli hud boon grunted, and yet all three wero completely miserable. <\ dry. because he more than sus pected that Elizabeth loved O'Neill; Kll/'.abeth, becauso slu> fell that honor compelled her b> marry Coventry, to whom she was deeply attached, but toward whom her feelings, Bho now found, were vastly different from those Which had tlooded her being with new life at tho sight of the young Irish mull. Her period of waiting and dreaming had unconsciously devel oped a passion for him which had broken nil barriers at tho more sound of his voice, the sight of his face. As for O'Neill, ho found her fairer than he had ever thought even In his most extravagant dreams, and It was In an agony of despair that ho contem plated her as tho bride of another. There was this saving grace in his position, however -ho would probably bo condemned to death forthwith, and he warf In no mood to balk tho execu tioner; If ever death be welcome it would bo so to htm. Tho only one who was completely at hla ease, nnd who, In fact, extract id a certain satisfaction from the situa tion, was the admiral. Naturally ho did not enter very deeply Into tho matrimonial schemes of tho young, and With the Indifference of a man well along In years he doubted that It would bo a matter of any great diffi culty either to make Elizabeth forgot, If necessary, tho Irishman, in whom even his obtuse vision had detected that she was greatly Interested, or, in ease it suited his purpose better, to make his son forget Elizabeth In tho presence of some other charmer whom he might select. Ills purpose was, as ever, the paramount consideration with the admiral. He had conceived n brilliant Idea, which he fondly hoped would result, were It to be realized, In the capture of the notorious Paul Jones, who was tho object of consuming desire on the part of every military and naval man in tho three kingdoms. So enchanted was iho old man with his own Idea, and so desir ous was ho of bagging the game, that he would iiiit have hoslttued to sacrifice the affections of his son, the happiness of his ward, or to brush asldo almost anything^ save his honor, which might stand in his way. The young Irishman had clearly for feited his life by his action; nay, more, now that he recalled his name ho re membered that ho had been found guilty of high treason, und, like his fa ther, was under sentence of death for (hat as well. He had a double hold upon him therefore. The powers of the admiral, who was one of the lead ing men of the realm, were unusually large, and as a state of martial law had been proclaimed on tho coast ho Was supremo as to life and death in matters where any military exigency ? ?ould be urged. If- chuckle 1 to himself at the thought that he held in his hand two of the master cards?love of IH'o and love of woman. The third, love of honor, which O'Neill was possessed of, was a high one, to bo sure, but bo trusted by clever play to win the game, since tho odds were with him. Elizabeth had become n state paper?a pledge in pawn -to him; O'Neill another piece, or player. Ho had not yet formulated any plan for carrying out his groat Idea, but one was already germinating In his mind, so that In tho end, under the stimulus of tho splendid opportu nity ho saw before him for rounding out an already brilliant career in tho Service of Ms country hy effecting the capture of tho famous Paul .Tones, his hours were as sleepless as were those of tho others. The pow Irish lieutenant had caused a great deal of trouble to every ono with whom he had come'in contact. Even I'uul Jones himself, who loved and cherished tho young man with all his generous lietirt, was filled with deep anxiety as to his probable fate when he heard tho report of old Price tho next day, especially as tho hours fled away nnd his nontenant did not rejoin tho ship. In apltc of the absence of the rest of his squadron, the com modore at onco hastened to the rendez vous witti tho Richard alone, nnd there determined to take a small hnnd In tho game himself while waiting for tho Pallas, the Alliance nnd the others to assemble. Cautious inquiries which ho caused to be made on shore had in formed him that, ns ho expected, O'Neill had been npprehended. A less kindly man than Paul Jones would havo left him to his fate; but that Was uot Ids way. Early the next morning, being Wednesday, Sept. 22, O'Neill had arisen nnd gone down on the terrace of the castle overlooking the ocean nnd tho Ships In tho harbor, whore ho met Lady Elizabeth. She was gazing list lessly over the cnusewn3' at a horse innn galloping along tho road. "Do I Interrupt reminiscences of n tete-a-tete, random?" said he, saluting her with a profound bow. "Reminiscences such as mlno aro better interrupted," sho replied. "Von wer"" "Saying goodby to ray?uiy?cousin;" "Has your ladyship no dearer tltie than that by which to designate him?" "Not yet," she answered wearily. "Ah, I perceive," he continued Jeal ously. "The natural regret at the ab sence of your betrothed, for"? "No, no, not thatl flow can. you trifle so with mo at this moment? Ho reproached mo becauso I?why do I 1 tell you tlnso tilings? You constrain mo, sir; l"~ "Forgive nio! You need not finish, Endy Elisabeth," ho sold, with a sud den gravity. "As for me, I must needs trifle or die. T,lfo In the freshness of the morning, tho white capped ocean stretching heforo ns In tho sunlight, tho gentie broozo playing across our fares, Is sweet to think on. With youth gnd rank and station It would be heav i ciily spent with you. without you I welcome the death your guardian will undoubtedly Inlllct upon inc." "Yet you waited so long?a year and a half why did you not come? I"? Bho stopped. Six* had spoken In a low, tender whisper, looking down at tho Ben b? heath them and plucking nervously at tho loose plaster of the Old walk. Death so imminent for love and lover nay, not for love; that were eteriml?broko dowu potty convention. Where were death and love there, too, should truth and honesty he and hon or. He laid h'<< strong hand gently down on the small white one outlined upon the gray weather beaten rock of the parapet. With upturned palm she met Ills grasp. Her eyes were lifted now. She drew strength from his strength; a dawning hope dickered Into helng In her torn heart, lie was so strong and true lie surely could do something - there must be some other way. It was the tribute woman pays to man. lie rend aright, with eyes keen from affection, the mute, piteous appeal In her sweetly lifted face, b%t he could only smile sadly In answer, with a si lent shake of the head. There was no other way, then, In the marked path she must walk. Have mercy, I.ord! "Was It long to you, dearest?'' ho queried, his dark face aflame. "To me?I have been a fool. Nothing should have kept mo from you. To trust to messengers, lc?tt?*rs?a fool- too late!" Silence I The hands unclasped; ties were broken. "Too late!" He turned bitterly away. "Would that we had met In happier days!" she murmured sadly, making a brave effort at self control. "No reproaches, Lady Elizabeth," ho answered, tho touch of formality In the address showing his own equal strife. "What must be must be! At least 1 have met you before I die, and for a year and a half I have thought of you and dreamed of you and held you tho lady of my heart. E'en death itself cannot rob me of that sweet Joy?for It Is past." They looked apart, nnd heard above tho voice of the great deep, the un fathomable sound of the moaning surge far beneath them, chafing against the pebbles in tho still morning, the wild heaving of their hearts. After a little pause ho continued more softly: "And you?you will forget tho young Irishman, tho soldier of fortune, whom untoward fate threw across your path way, and In your own English homo and in tho love of your noble husband may you bo happy." "Nay, not so," she said softly, taking Ids hand again, her eyes filling with tears-this time she was tho stronger. "My heart Is not made of such fickle stuil". I shall do my duly, keep my plighted word -even you would have me do no less than that but not more Steadfastly than I shall keep you with in my recollection. Hut do not talk of death; you must not. I know the ad miral he h is a kindly heart"? "I would not live," replied the youug man quietly; "for life Is death when the heart is dead." "Tell inc." asked the girl, nervously breaking the almost Insupportablo si lence, "were you there when my moth er's picture fell last night?" "Yes, so near to it that It almost fell Into my arms," ho answered, smiling. "A had omen!" she murmured, shak ing her head. "What! That it should fall into my arms?" "No, that It should fall at all." "Well, I do not believe In omens, and 'tis In the nrms of another that you fall, at any rate. Ho gets the sub stance, I the shadow, the illusion- and even that is broken!" "And so oven tho shadow Is lost," Bald Elizabeth. "Not yet. Open my heart, you will find It there," he answered quickly. "Hut how like you the portrait was!" "Yes, I am said to look like my lush er," she answered, Si living, as we all do in tragic moments, to reach the height of the commonplace. "In the dress I now wear, under the changing fashions, tho likeness Is not so strik ing, but when I am gowned as she was. in the Identical costume, which Is still in existence, by the way. ami sit as she did, in the dim light in that old chair, tho resemblance is even more striking." "Would that I might boo you thus? In that dress of tho olden time! Noth ing except your actual presence in tho hall h:'.-A ever startled nie so much His thai Imago of the past did last night. You are so like your picture, but more beautiful, 1 think." "Ah. yes; youth and the present are always the more beautiful. The ad "lronr death!
