The Municipal Election.
With a little attention the public
Equarc of Laurons could be made beau
tiful. W i I'm we come to elect a mayor
and council in the spring wo should
have in mind the choosing of men who
will havo due regard for appearances.
The city of Georgetown has had for its
mayor a bank president who is one of
the most progressive men in the East
ern part of the State, the Hon. W. D
Morgan. Tho city of Sumtor has In the
Hon. W. Geo. Dick a mayor who would
be a credit to any city in South Caro
lina. We have men in Laurens who
would prove to bo as good as they but
we think it would be worth while to
havo these mayors come to Laurens
and bo exhibited as models for a fort
night before tho election.
However, tho easiest way, we think,
to get a good mayor is to nominate him
lirst by a Democratic primary.
The Homo Market.
Brother Hob and The Advkrtiser
aro together on tho cow question.
There is never an over-production of
beef In this country. Tho man who
raises beef In South Carolina suffers
no hurt from the beef trust and Is in
dependent of it. Col. J. Wash Watts
is sound on tho goat question and many
men who havo failed to act upon his
advice are the poorer In constquenco.
Wo have not beard from Hon. A, J.
Smith on the subject of pheep but we
are waiting.
Meanwhile, next year the wUe wo
men in Laurens county will ralee tur
keys and more chickens.
What tho farmers shou'd recognize
Is that they have twico as good a home
market for produce as they had a few
years ago and thoso who neglect to
utilize its opportunities will have
mostly themselves to blame.
*
If wo wore disposed to utter a fool
suggestion we should propose to dises
tablish Clcmson College, movo it to
Columbia and tack it on to the South
Caroliua College: thus creating again a
University. It will be recalled that
what is now the technological part of
Clcmson College was formerly In suc
cessful operation as a part of the South
Carolina University. The rejoining of
the parts would be no experiment.?
Tho Citadel and the South Carolina
College bavo always been separate in
stitutions and to disestablish tho Citadel
would bo silTer tbau to disestablish
Clemson.
The higher educational institutions
of South Carolina must stand or fall
tegthor. When tho legislature de
stroys one The Advkrtiskr would
probably be prepared to attack the
whole policy of Stato support of Col-1
leges if not the withdrawal of State!
support from common schools.
The system of State education, col
lege and common school, is fairly eatls
factory in South Carolina now and will
so continue if tho bol' weevils can be
kept out.

New Circuits Nccossary.
Wo icpeat thut the business of the
Courts has trebled 'n the last .'10 years
and tho Judges are worked three t:mes
as hard. It is neccssar.- lhat tVit, new
Judicial Circuits be provided . Other
wise the ends of justice cannot bo met,
It is nonsense to argue that the Judges
and lawyers are responsible for delays
in disposing of the Court's business.
*
Numerous 'excellent and able news
papers aro ro.-.ring about the dispen
sary and it will bo remembered that
Sonator Tillman himself roared a few
weeks ago in Gaffney. Meanwhile a ,
solemn quiet and lying low prevails in;
tho dispensary Itself. The state uls- j
pensary has purchased many thousands j
of gallons of boo/. } which will be dls-j
Iributed in tho form of Christmas!
drinks at so much a drink and tho cost!
of the Christmas drinks will pay the
teachers for a few weeks and a barrel
of whiskey sold may keep a school
open for a whole day.
#
Not only docs the Sparianburg Jour
nal insist that tho South Carolina dig*
pcnsiry system must be destroyed but
Insists upon destroying It "all by its
lonorome." Meanwhile it quarrels
with tho Gaffnoy Ledger, ono of the
two papers which lashed the dlspen
Bl ry out of Cherokee county before the
Spartanburg Journal had discovered
that tho dispensary was doing business
in Spartanburg.

18 TU KHK TOO MUCH COTTON
Comments on HoveranienPs Estimate
hj Trade Organ.
The Amer'oan Cotton Manu'nctuivr,
of Charlotte, N. C, writes as follows of
the Government's 12,102.000-balo esti
mate :
On the hasty assumption that tho es
timate meaut over-production, pricos
slumped materially Saturday and Mon
day. A calm examination of the other
side of the case reveals no real oiuse
for such a recUion. It is conceded that
the or> p this year was an early one,
and that some 300,000 bales were mar
keted In August. In spite of this, tbo
visible supply of American oottou on
the 4th of September, this year, was
854,300 bales less than on the same
date the provlous year, and this in free
of a heavy curtailment of production
by the mills. Add this 054,300 bales
and a world-wide short-time movement
?equivalent to not less than 1,000,000
bales, plus new mills and extension?,
which will use at least an extra I 0,000
bales this year ? to tho total crop of
last year, and it will be seen that a to
tal of 12.178,082 bales will bo required
this soason to keep tho mills in opera
tion.
If prices do not rule abnormally high,
the mills will probably tako considera
bly moro than their ac'.ual require
ments to replenish their very low re
eorve stocks for they were undoubtedly
baro of cotton at the commencement of
this cop year.
It !s safe to say that the noimal in
visible supply, consisting of cotton in
mill waro houses and manufactured
goods in the procoEs of distribution, is
from two to threo million bales bolow
that required to preserve a legitimate
balance between producer and con
sumer.
In his latest spioch Governor Varda- j
man of Mississippi, told about how the
?'Anglo-Saxon manhood" of that Stale
"took the reins of government out of
the hands of the carpet-bagger and
negro," and swore a mighty oath that
"from cow on wo will never share any
sovereignty or dominion with him
again." It is said in newspaper dis
patches about tho Govornor's speech
that his views "are dianiotrica'ly op
posed to the minority leader, John
Sharp Williams." But for the policies
which Governor Vardamsn advocated,
and which he now glorifies, John Sharp
Williams never would have been a
member of Congress from Missi sippi.

Editor, The Advertiser:
To tho Farmors of South Carolina: 1
am in hearty- accord with the move
ment as to handling and marketing
the cotton crop and hope soon to seo
South Carolina in line with other
States. Yes, hold the cotton. That
wh'oh has been ginned up to Nov. 1st
must be at least one-third in the
planten* hands, and all the crop to bo
gathered aud ginned from now on is in
their hands, at loast ono hall the crop.
How long can the manufacturers be
contented with such a small stock? Tho
idea of marketing tho crop slowly and
demanding 10 cents or more a pound
has in my judgment been reasonable
and correct, and no doubt has gono
vory far towards causing the planters
to hold so much of their crop until
now. As 1 Bee it, thoir conduct in this
matter has in a measure at least,
aroused in the spinners aud speculators
a 8onse of contempt for and a resent
ment of thoir course, having so long
dictated to them iho price they should
have for thoir cotton, It now soem* to
thorn foolish nnd silly that the farmers
should ess Ay to bo considered and con
sulted as to tho price they shall have
for their cotton ? tho result of thoir
arduous toil. They havo observed in
the paet that producers becomo im
patient and sell on a declining market
and they now undortako to alarm and
cause them to sell for tear of further
decline Now farmers, what fol'y U
all this if the planters will only ? t knd
together against theso two classes and
say to thorn: Keop your money u*.tll
you get ready to givo us a price that
wiU justly reward us for our to l in
making this cotton. Statistics show
that only a small amount more cf cot
ton has gone forward up to this dats
than was taken last season at a corres
ponding date. Then the mills were
compelled to shut down, a number of
them In the spring. Well, now suppose
tho farmers contlouo to hohl thoir cot
ton until spring and ono or two things
must necessarily result?cotton must
go up or mills must shut down, Now
urge the planters to stand (Irmly to j
each other in their purpose nnd effort ,
to ob'ain a fair price for thoir cotton in
this light which is now fairly on all
over tho solid South and the cotton belt
of tho Wos*. Lotus fight aguitst tho j
spinners and speculators who seek to
wrest from our grasp our monoy crop
at a prlco that means privation aud
want to ourselves and families. If
farmers don't stand together for
mutual help and thereby sccuro a just
compensation for their work they must1
inevitably submit to drag out their
lives for others who laugh at their \
stupidity and submission whilo thoy
luxuria'o la the good things they havo '
provided for themselves. I will say
now that I believo the fapmors are
ready to push this fight :o tho limsh, i' i
you can ouly make thrm believo that
they can succeed.
You know that thoy havo sj long \
submitted that it has b:come a habit
with them and they need much en
couragement to inspire suOlotont confi
dence to enable them to stand per
sistently against their former con
querors. The p ice of cotton is three
! cent3 below its real value anel thero is
but ono way to restore tho price, and
that Is to refuse to sell a sing'e ba'c.
Farmers are urged to organiz ? and put
their shoulders to the wheel in ordert
that their property may bo saved from
confiscation b/ a email element of
speculators trho aro now dominating 1
tho cotton market. Lot us hear from
other farmers through the pro<s.
Respectfully,
J. D. Cosiiv,

A FAIR TEST BY AN HONEST MAN.
AT the request of Mr. A. Huff, Agent for the Virginia?
Carolina Chemical Company, to make a test against Peruvian
Guano with his Fertilizer, he made me a present of two sacks
8-4-4 ()1 l'lc Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company goods to
111 ike the test with. The test was made on land selected hy Mr.
Huff himself and Mr. Irvine, iny Superintendent. Ten rows
were planted with equal amount of each fertilizer at the rate of
400 pounds per acre, with the following results:
Peruvian Guano made 191 pounds. Mr. Huff's 8-4-4
made 153 pounds; a difference of 38 pounds on ten rows 52
yards long.
I hereby certify the ahovc statement i:. correct.
(Signed) W. II. Dial.
I hereby certify the above facts and figures are correct.
T. J. Irvink, Superintendent.
Witness: W. A. Watts,
At this ratio the diffenence on one acre would have been
342 pounds seed cotton, or 114 pounds lint cotton. Now figure
114 pounds at 8 cents and you have $9.12 per acre in
Favor of Peruvian Guano.
The PERUVIAN GUANO used in the above test only
analy/ed available Phosphate Acid 10 per cent., Amonia 2.87,
Potash 2.67, which was the lowest grade sold here last year.
( hit supply is limited aud you must place your orders at once.
