Centralist fcaa^< tion has been appreciated by intelli? gent political observers an the great peril to the republic ever eioce our civil war; but it has been whole? somely restrained by the people, and never reached the appalling attitude of positive imperialism until Presi? dent McKinley proclaimed it and eoforced it, regardless of the wise limitations upon executive authority. The paramount issue between the two great parties today is that of impetial prerogatives against the erne Jeffereouiea theory of govern? ment by the people; and it must now be obvious to all intelligent votera that there can be no hope of balling tha present reckless and riotous spirit of imperialism in any other way tban by tun election of William J. Bryan as the next presi? dent of the United States. It is Ibe vital, the paramount issue, and It moat triumph whenever Ibe people of the oatioo appreciate their sovereign power and aaaert the majesty of popu lar rule No one questions or can question, the ability, the earoeetness, the integrity of the Democatio candidates For the rescue of all that has .made America glorious in the past and that csn make her atrong in the future, it is a duty to support their election.

The South Carolina Inter State and West Indian Exposition will be held in the Gity of Charleston next year The capital atock of the Exposition Company has been 6xed at $250,000, and the resources of the company are estimated $1.000,000 It is propos? ed that this Expoaition ahall be folly repreaentative of the material resources and manufacturing and commercial interests of South Caro line and the Soothero States, parti? cularly, aod of the whole United i States and their new posnessions in i Iba Weal Indies aod Philippines The most enoooraging pledgee of laaistance and cooperation have been received from the authorities at 1 Washington aod from the Governors < sod Commissionera of Agriooltore of ? nearly every atate in the Uoioo The ' leading commercial organizations of Ihe principal cities In the United j States have promised their active co? i operation, and it is expeoted that the 1 Exposition, io all its varied featores, i will be the moat complete j lod attractive that has ever bean held io the South The subscriptions to the oapital stock of the Exposition Company made in the city of Cbarleaton aggregate $200,000, and, as the Exposition is to be of direct benefit to every industry in the State and to every county of the State, it is hoped that there will be a liberal subscription made* by the manufactureis and merchant and business men of the whole Stato Arrangements have been made for an "Exposition day" at tho Annual Fair of the South Carolina 8t*tc Agricultural and Mechauical Society to be held in the City of Columbia during tlx; month of Octo ber. and the opportunity will at that time bo presented to the pesple of the State to oubscribe to the full extent of their ability and disposition to the capital stock of the Exposition Company. The shares of the Ex position Company have been placed at $5, each, payable in instalments upon the call of the Board of Dirt o tors, and, as every industry in the Statt; and the people of every county ste interested in the attraction of capital to South Carolina for invest merit and of intelligent and progres? siv, ? people in search of homes, it is thought that there will be* a liberal subscription made, during the State Fair, to the stock of the Exposition Company Millions of cellars are going out West eve?y year for in vestment, and hundreds of thousands of people in search of homes are arriving in this country every year There ia no reasou why much of this capital and many of these settlers cannot be brought to South Carolina and the South if the people who are interested is tho improvement of our opportunities will mske tho most of the advantages which will be afforded by the Exposition at Chsrleston for the tul! development of the resources Paring the State Fair at Columbia an important conference will he hela by the representatives of tho Exposition Company with the eotioo rutll meo ot tho State, nearly all of whom have signified their wish aod disposition to aid in making the textile features of tho Exposition complote io every detail, South Carolina, whioh ia today the largest eottoo manufaot'iriog Stato io the Booth, aod ibe seoond Isrgest mao ofeotariog Stats ia tho Uoioo ought to present a study io progress at tbe Exposition which will impress tbe tUltori to tbe Exposition and result tn the extension of our commercial rela? tions with tbe oountL'g of South Amer? ica and the Weet lodies Durteg tbe month of Ootob.-r, the North Carolina State Fair will be held at Raleigh in that (State, and tbe Qeor gia State Fair wiP he held io Atlanta.

The pro? gress of this State duriog tbe past two decades has been without a parallel io tbe history of an) oouotry, aod the Exposition at Charleston will serve to emphasize tbis marvelous growth, aod to impress upoo capita tiers sod home seekers the chances for future develop? ment in a Stale whose undeveloped wealth has, with all our growth aod prosperity, scarcely yet been tooohed. ^BSSW s s ?? Spartaoborg Herald We do not ofteo venture to advise, but if we bad 10 bales of ootioo or 10,000, we would oot sell a pound until text Juoe if we ooold help it. There is every reason to believe that between now and Juoo the priee of oottoo will go abovo tbe world's de? mand. Exporters are buying every pound they can get tbei. baoda opoo, bot tbey oaonot get erougb to supply them Local mills may roo oo short time, but if tbey run at all, tbey moat, before June next, purchase largely. It is a safe fiuese that cotton will oot be less tbao 10 oeots in 10 months, or rather that the average pries for 10 months will bo considerably above that point.
