In the final vote of the Senn'e on I he tariff* hill Senator Tillman voted airainst the measure and Senator McLnnrin was paired against it, which was equivalent to a vote against it hail his pair voted. The Edgefield Monitor truly says: Irbv will learn by the end of the campaign that jumping on the newspapers'' has ceased to he a trump card. The newspapers of South Carolina are far more honorable than any blatherskite politician that ever sought to traduce them. In many of the Slate universities there are short courses in agriculture which young men may take cheaply and be great gainers thereby. A scientific knowledge of farming will help to produce crops cheaply. It will give inl'ormlion on how to vary the products of a farm and adapt them to the wants of the market. Many a young fellow who thinks there is no place for him in the world would find a very useful and profitable nich to fill if he understood scientific farming. There is every indication/of the biggest State fair this fall that has ever been known. President Cliil s is already hard at work. The premiun list will be issued in a few days and the numl>er of premiums offered will be much larger than ever before. This year prizes will be offered for decorated bicycle displays and contest. A new department of dairy products and utensils has been added. ' It will be in charge of Professor Hart, of Clemson College. In addition to the regular premiums this year, many special premiums have been nfFered by varioirs persons for special exhibits. The idea is to secure a large number of these sj>e cial exhibits. We have been approached and urged to advocate the candidacy of a certain gentleman lor the position of Intendant of the town of Kingstree, but refused to do so. it is incumbent upon the voters of the town to elect the man best fitted for the place, and thev wi 1 do it. We will never lake upon ourselves the task of interfering in a local election. While, of course, we will have personal preference and vote lor the man of our choice in every elec lion, we will not 4*boom" any particular candidate. We need a live, progressive council and our people will elect one. It is the! iuty of aM tnen to comeoat and work for the best interests of his town and we believe that every man in kings tree will do this. Inffln election in a town like Kings tree there are no party or factional lines, and it behooves fvery man to work and vote for he best men for the positions of Intendant and Wardens. Last week a correspondent suggested the name of a man for the position of Intendent; this week mother gentleman is suggested. Sotli of them are men of undoubtid integrity and ability and either >ne of them would fill the posiion with credit to both himself md the town. Both gentlem< n lave friends and they will work or Ihe man of their choice. It nav be mat neimeroi the gentle nen suggested will allow his name i ised as a candidate, or probably | it her names will presented. Lit very man consider well the fitness f the candidate before he casts is ballot for him, and we are sure he best man will win. It is a certain fact that no man s hunting the office.
