Tho discussion of the currency ques tion by the candidates for United States senator is an excellent sign of the limes for the obvious reason that the currency is not a partisan question and contribu tions to it arc welcomed in congress, whether the come from Republicans or Democrats. While a South Carolina Democratic senator must be soundly informed on the tariff and other party issues, it is plain that he can accomplish no great things in regard to them unless the Democrats bo in the majority. A Dem ocrat informed about the tariff would be able to strengthen his party in debate, but be would not be able to offer a sug gestion likely to be favorably received by a Republican majority. When the tariff is mentioned in congress Demo crats and Republicans instantly draw their weapons. On the financial or currency question lion the division on party lines is not so clear and sharp. When the Aldrich Vroeland bill was under discussion two or three weeks ago Mr. Bryan tele graphed Democratic senators, advising them to support the contention of Sena tor La Kollotte, a Republican. Repub licans in the house, under the leader ship of Representative Fowler, differed widely from Republicans in the senate, and Gen. Sherwood, a Democrat from Ohio, announced early in the session that he would vote for any measure offering relief, regardless of the party proposing it. It follows that the senator about to be elected from South Carolina, who ever ho may be, will have the ear of Democrats and Republicans alike if he have a thorough understanding of the currency question, if he have something substantial to offer for consideration. The truth isthat few representatives and senators in either party showed any respectable comprehension of the cur rency and hanking matters during the recent debates in congress; any man whose study of the subject has been close and sincere and who has some mastery of it will be beard with eager ness in the next congress, though he be a staunch and uncompromising Demo crat he will have the opportunity of so impressing his views that they may be enacted into law upon their merits. Hence, this topic to which three or four candidates are directing attention is one of immediately practical importance in a measure far greater than is any other question. A Democrat who really knows about currency questions will always be sure of a hearing. -The News and Courier.

Tire Spartanburg Herald lias tho following notice: "A double-heador between GaiTncy and I.aureus was tho great sport in Gaffney Saturday. The morning game resulted in a victory for Gaffney by tho sc. ire of !? to 0. Bcluu and Harris were the Galfney battery and thoydid splen did work. "The afternoon game was won by I.aureus. Wood and l/ipscomb were Gaffney's battery ami Ross and Fow ler for I.aureus. I,aureus won by the score of 1 to 0. "Ross, wdio is the pitcher recently signed by the Spartan league team, did great work for 1.aureus. Only one scratch hit was secured oil' him, while Wood was touched up fur four." Nominating Dr. .1. II. Miller. Cannot Dr. John II. Miller, of Cross Hill, be induced to stand for re-election to the legislature ? He is a man who has succeeded in his own affairs- the only kind of man who is really competent to look after the public interests. As a rule, it is a pretty risky business to expect a man who has himself been a failure to be a successful legislator. Dr. Miller has served his county well in the legislature for the last two terms, consequently he has experience in such matters, which only tits him the , better for enlarged usefulness. Again, Dr. Miller, if we mistake not, is not only a good physician, but he is also a farmer and merchant, a combi nation which enables him to know the need of all classes. lb- is, no doubt, a busy man, and go ing to the legislature will entail consid erable monetary loss on him, but Wo believe he is patriotic enough to throw aside such a view and serve his county. Ordinarily, the man who can go with OUt loss to himself is t he man who is' not needed. Solid, substantial business : men are the ones needed by the ones needed by the State to look after her business. Will not the doctor heed the call and ; announce himself '.'

"Is ii absolutely necessary todestroy those beautiful maple trees on Grove avenue in order to make way for city improvements?" asks tho Richmond I Journal, and then adds a paragraph which wo heartily approve and which IIis elsewhere than Richmond. It says: "The value to tho city of a row of beautiful shade trees, such as these are, cannot well bo measured. As a source of pleasure, comfort and health there is nothing that could take the place of shade trees, and so a hasty order may result in the city losing a blessing thai it would take ."><) years to replace." To dig up a Uno shade tree in a cit\ and insert in its place something that . is little belter than a broomstick may! not be a crime under tin- law, but should it not be made so'.' Montgomery Ad vertiser. A Call for k. I\ Adair. Nominal ions for legislative candidates having become not only popular, but a seeming necessity, I wish to call upon a man through the valuable columns of The Advertiser. In this call I am sec onded by many others who heartily agree in the merit and worth of Mr. II. r. Adair. For two terms h.- was su pervisor of the county, a county com missioner and a member of the equali zation board. In all these offices of public trust Mr. Adair showed himself a strict business man, thoroughly capa ble of administering public a Hairs and altogether a man of ability and in tegrdy. It is the earnest desire of many that! he enter the race for the legislature, and they believe fully that he can win. His kind are in demand and Laurens I county needs tho services of such men.
