K.rvin. of Hack Swamp, has removed to town. Mr. I!. 0. Starr, of Florence, is now foreman of the News office. Miss Mary Wilds has returned home from a visit to relatives in Fairtield County. Mr. John McSween, President of the Hank of Timmonsville, was in town on Monday. The County Commissioners met on Friday but did not transact any busi ness of public importance. Mrs. Lcwenthal returned home on Fridav accompanied by her friend, Mrs. Juliet l.’osendorf, of New York. The subject for discussion at t he next meeting of the Y. M. C. A. is “Christ and Civil (iovernment,” Mat. 22:15-22. Fire at the Oil Mill. On Saturday the town was startled 1 by the intelligence that the Oil Mill was on tire, which however proved incorrect. The office caught, by accident, and was entirely consumed, but its contents were saved. There was no insurance on the building and it will cast between three and four hundred dollars to replace it. The tire hose of the Mill kept the fire from spreading. The steamer was ordered out. but as there was no' need for it, the order was counter-! manded. A Good Farmer. Ferdinand Bradley, a colored man who lives in Springville, about three miles from town, presents a striking illustration of what a poor man can do who is both economical and in dustrious. He owns about thirty- acres of land, paid for from the pro ceeds of his crops, drives a very fat horse, has plenty to cat and can de fy hard times. He makes the horse, a very healthy occupation by the way, plough his own corn, and so is not forced to the necesity of givinga lien on everything he owns to secure ad vances in the way of corn or meat. It is needless to say that he does not when his crop is laid by, loaf around like a great manv other folks and Major Dehon. the traveling agent of the News and Courier, was in town Tuesday looking after the interests of that journal. There was another large tire in Laurens on Saturday night. Less about $40,000, partially insured. The lire is supposed to be incendiary. Mrs. Paul H. Haync, the wife of the popular South Carolina poet, died last week at her home near Augusta. She was a lady of great refinement and culture. The regular monthly business meeting of the Y. M. (’.

A great deal of money has been thrown away, from time to time, by our farmers, in the purchase of agri cultural implements, that are nearly always disappointing when put to the test of act nr' work, and if every farmer will resolve to give these so- called lalior saving implements a wide berth, he will find it better both for his pocket and temper. Of course there are some machines that have lieen thoroughly tested are, to a great extent, matt rs of necessity, and of course we do not refer to them. Every farmer who cuts grass ought to have a mower as it will pay for itself in one year, and there are other things, not rcoessarv to men tion. that he can't well do without, but there are many for which he has no use, and their •inrchase is alwavs talk about the farmers being reduced | !l losing investment.

Then, will this grand country, which has stood thirty years of intense strain npon its producers for the sole bene fit of capitalists and money kings, be free. But suppose this oppression b persisted in, then it is the duty of the people to step in and take con trol and run the combine in the in terest of .ill concerned. The concen tration iff capital is inevitable as it cheapens and increases production. This combination of capital and men must be be run by the state or na tion or by cooperation. If run by cooperation they must bo subject to control of the government too. Even these must not be allow ed to oppress. Labor must receive her share of the products of capital and labor. It is tl e duty of the state and nation to protect all and see that justice is done to all. Oppression breeds so cialism and anarchy. Let corpora tions do justice and there will be no anarchists.

W \: i n Rirc In FI my <;f (oiio.i. e suggestion of Mes-rs Dai !':tlmage’s Sons' of New Yo'-k. b growers of cotton in the South u Ik lesire to try some other crop in part, that they cultivate rice, is a good •me, we think; il is well sustained by the argument of the gentlemen who offer it: and we should lie glad to hcai from some of our farmer friemb with regard to the practicability ot putting it into practice this year. The very best way, if not the only- way, to insure reduction in the cotton crop is to find some other product that will pay as well or better. Rice appears to lie such a product. “It is adapted,” we are told by the Mossn Taimage, “to cither upland or low land." We have seen it growing finely on the side of a mountain, in this Mate. One of the Florida papers reported recently that a farmer nea: •eala, we believe experimented w ith the crop last year very greatly to hi satisfaction and profit. There is probably no reason why the crop shold not be grown on the uplands in a large part, if not every part, of South Carolina. “As an ail around crop,” Messrs Taimage further state, “it is among die safest and “most profitable of southern crops,” yielding from $20 to $ to profit jier acre, according to cultivation and season. It would not be a crop for this year only in the up- country, as the low-country does not supply the demand. “The consump tion is “increasing annually per capita and at far greater ratio than pro duction.” The United States need double their present production to meet the demand of the home market, “and were the product in creased even ten fold the surplus could lie marketed abroad at prices w hich would leave a handsome mar gin to the planter.” With all these considerations m its favor rice culture in the up coun try ought to succeed as well as tobac co culture, and probably will when the experiment is made under intel ligent direction. It has not lieen half a dozen years since one of the newspapers in Columbia and many of the farmers were proclaiming the efforts of The News and Courier to introduce tobacco culture into South Carolina a foregone failure.

Fditoii Hkkai.d:—Capital concen trates to escape sharp competition, and labor co-operate to secure their share of the combined product of labor and capital. The movement of each is the logical result of the application of steam to machinery. In the diivs of small concerns the concentration of capital and men were not necessary. An idea and a little capital would start a man in business. The application of steam to machinery changed this and the small concerns unable to compete with the large were absorbed by them. The application of steam to machinery called for the concentra tion of capital and labor. This con centration is based upon economical principles vice the larg'T the capital employed the cheaper the produc tion. The concentration of capital Hid me:i is inevitable, a- it chcaper..- md increases production. This fact will forever prohibit ns fran going back to the era of sinab concerns. The fact that concciilia- turc of capital and men cheapens (this fact is well known to capital ists) there w ill he a rapid concentra tion of capital from small concerns to larger ones until each industry is controlled by syndicates or trusts. Great railroad combinations will id- sorb the smaller until all are under one bo ml. One company could do the transporting ((heaper than 1,750. One president and set of dmectors will cost less than 1,750. The earn ings will run up into the hundreds of millions. City buyers with their millions of capital will import direct and buy of manufacturers and sell to the consumers, making immense sav ings to the people. 'These will ab- s< ill the small stores as the laig< machine shops absorbed the sma 1 ! concerns at the cross-roads. All opposition to concentration is power less. One large concern represents scores of smaller. One machine with one head can run cheaper than a score with as many haads. The Standard Oil Company has reduced the cost of oil to the consumer OH per cent, put hundreds of millicus of dollars in the company's pockets and saved the consumers probably more. This is the direct result of the con centration of capital and men. One oil company can do the work cheaper than a score of companies with as many systems of transportation. One half the men in the large concerns will do the vork «f the companies. The eonreii I ration of capital and men means < couoiny and economy savings. The efficiency of the con centration of capital is acknow ledged by all who have given the subject thought. The greater the concen tration of capital the !es- complex the business. In small concerns grading is impossible and the labor must move from one part to another losing time. In large concerns each is a part of a machine performing an allotted j arL There is no shifting about, and inch becomes an expert and accomplishes douldj the work in the same time.
