Duke, captalist. has be come interested in the cotton ware house proposition and is endeavoring to interest spinners, banters, nier chants, farmers and others to take stock in the organization of a great corporation that will take over all the private warehouses in South Carolina and build others throughout the state whereever necessary. -lis general plan is along the lines laid down in Senator McLaurin's warehouse bill, except that it is to be a private instead of h state owned system, and the purpose is to make profits for the stockholders as such rather than for the cotton pro ducers as such. Dealing as it does with the biggest single resource of the United States, the plan is a grand one, as has already been pointed out by Senator McLaurin and others, and Mr. Duke, the man who has already cor nered most of the splendid water pow ers in South and North Carolina and developed them almost to the point of monopoly is financially able to put the scheme through and make It a go; but we are not inclined to endorse lr. Duke in the matter. We are disposed rather to consider that his splendid business sense has caught fully on to the McLaurin idea and that with the tremendous financial :power at this command, he sees where ie can get for himself and associates that which dir. McLaurin is trying to secure for South Carolina'and the south. And in a thing like th:s, if a private corporation should be able to gobble up a monopo ly that can he so easily taken over by the state and operated for the benefit of the people of the state, we would consider it nothing short of a state wide, If not a nation-wide calamity. However, we look for thousands of people inifluenced by various interests, to back Mr. Duke where they should instead back Senator MeIaurin, the cotton producers and themselves. We are for tte state warehouse system rI tier than for any privately owned concern, backed by c apital almost equal to the power of the whole state. --Yorkville EInquirer. The Senatorial Race. 11y the press dispatches it is stated that probably 10x-Gov. .1no. Gary i'vats and W. F. Stevenson would en ter the Senatorial race and it is in timated that Fenator Smith will not he a candidate for re-elect ion. Senator Smith will be a candidate, and will make the race on his record which is pretty good, and we think it. would be unwise for Mlessrs. Evans and Steven Sou to enter the race as they would only draw strengtI from Senator Siit who deserves to be re-elected. Senator Smith has made good as a representative, and should be re turned for his stand for the agricul tural interests of South Carolina and tile South. For the sake of argument grant that Fentator Smith is selfisht it working for the agricultural interests as ho is a farmer, ownIs considerahle farming land anud raises a groat deal of cotton. Such bcing tile case it na trally followvs that he is wrapped tup ill theo stubject. lie studies cotton, he thtinks cottont, and he wvill do every thing In his power to benefit tile pro ducers of cotton. It seems to us that the farmers of South Carolina wotuld 1b0 voting directly agaiinst their own interests to vote against a man thlat is directly and personally interested inl tihe farim and thle bettermnent of the c'onditionl of t-he farmer. The lill witich was pumt thtrotughi last sessionI 1)y Senator Smith bty whlich the gov' eritment is testin~g the different valume of thte various grades of cotton will be0 wortht ntillions to tile cotton produc ers not only of South Carolina butt of the~ Sotuth. rThe tests so far nmade have demonstrated thtat the actual difference in valume amounts to oniy a fractin of what thte farmers have been "docked" for thte so-called in ferior gr'ades of cotton and tile tests are not complete yet. We are itter' ested in the development of tihe agri culttural interests of thte State be cause wve know if thte farmer prospers we will prosper too. Our interests are identical, we are dependent en each other. Thme town man needs the farm or and thte farmter needs the towvn man. Lot us get togetheri and pull1 togeth er. As a matter of fact abtout three fourths of the btusinoss people of the town wer'e bor'n and raised in thte counttry, and we have never been able to see where our political Interests were different.-Abbeviile Medium.

We take this occasion to appeal to survivors to attend the meeting of their camp, and especially and earn estly would we appeal to those veter an soldiers, of whom there are quite a number who have failed heretofore, to identify themselves with the Camp, to come out and join and mingle with us. So long as there remains a cor porals' guard to parade, or a lone sen try to light the camp fires, let's keep alive the remembrance of the cause for which we fought and of our com rades who sleep in the churchyard, on the fields of carnage, reaching from the southern boundary of the 'Confed eracy to Gettysburg and and the far off prisons of the north, and of the women of the Confederacy of whom it hra :;w.n said.
