Cbc Atetaran w? Bm?hmt. Ci u p WEDNESDAY, J??,Y 17, i901 The Sumter Watchman was tounded ia 1850 and the 2V*?e Southron in 1866. The fPct?c?Tna? and Southron now has (tte combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is mani estly the best advertising medium io Barnier Mr. Jas. A. Hoyt, Jr., of the edi? torial staff of The State, and Maj. Xouis Appel t, editor of the Manning Times, have been bandying compli? ments for a week or more and have ?now reached the stage where "liar -and blackguard" are the terms used io describe each other. Columbia and Manning are not very far apart, and, as both parties have railroad passes, it would be an easy matter to get to? gether and settle tue difference exist? ing between. Talk is always cheap, twit in this case writing seems to be ?cheaper. The commercial democrats say that "they are determined to divorce democ? racy from populism and Bryanism. The indications are that they are also .determined to remarry the prospective ?divorcee to Hannaism and imperialism, i Col W. A. Neal has been appointed -agent for a company that manufactures road working machinery and will can? vass the State in their interest.-An? derson MaiL Now let the politicians who deserted their friend in his time of need take Ito the woods, The one-time Mark Hanna has not lost all of his friends ?an? while he goes up and down the State selling road machinery he will look after a few old scores. The Columbia State's Industrial Art Edition, issued on the 8th instant, was so long in reaching this office that we began to suspect that some one had appropriated it en route. It came 'to ?iand a few days ago, however, and a ^careful examination satisfies us that to> much has not been said in its praise by the press of this and other States. It is far superior in every par? ticular to any industrial edition ever I>efore issued in South Carolina and The State deserves the many compliments received. The matter is fresh and up to date, the statistics are reliable and -from first hands and the mechanical execution leaves nothing; to be desired. The title was aptly chosen, for it is truly an Industrial Art Edition. "Senator Thos. F. Brantly, of Or ?ngeburg County, who is a candidate for Congress, says that his friends say that "logically" he must run, and "he therefore hor>es to succeed the late Congressman Stokes as' the rep? resentative of the Seventh District. The premises leading up to the above utentoned logical candidacy seem to be "that Mr. Brantly wanted to go to Con? gress three years ago, but did not Teach the goal of his ambition be? cause Dr. Stokes received the most votes; that Mr. Brantly was subse? quently elected to the State House of Representatives ; that Mr. Brantly was snore recently elected to the State Senate ; that Mr. Brantly has made speeches in doubtful States in. behalf of the Democratic party; that Mr. l??airrtly:?tijl wants to go to Congress. We ?admit, without hesitancy that, logically, or otherwise, Mr. Brantly T?inst run, for, when a man wants to go Tfco Congress, he must run, and run his Javel best, or he won't get there. The ddt that he has made speeches in doubtful States, which, by the way, were no longer doubtful when the rotes were counted after the elections sraeceeding Mr. Brantly's speech-mak ?ag, ?or they were captured horse foot ?and dragoons by the Republicans ; nor t?e fact that Mr. Brantly canvassed tile district in opposition to Dr. Stokes Ashlee years ago with national issues as ^?hfe ^ome of contention, both claiming Ttbe same bone ; nor that Mr. Brantly 3ias been elected to the Hons*? and ?Sejoate by the good people of Orange burg County among whom he was raised and who know him best and appreciate his worth most, do not "logically" force him to run. None x? these things have any inherent or ?Jo?f-cail aiustness about them, and, of shene elves, could not impel or coerce .himinto -running: but when it is ad? mitted that Mr. Brantly still wants to go ts Congress, it is borne in upon our consciousness that there is a great sr-H?ra^?ii^Jling bim to gird up his V?.:..rtt Tind get into the running. **Irf>gicaHy" he must run: of course he must, and so must all of the dozen or more others who want to go to Con- ? s?rt&s, no exception being made of -.-infcgr Buchanan, who will not .d?rxra 5?s judicial robes, but only tmck them out of the way of his feet, so that they may not be trampled upon in the muck and mire of the Congres s?ox/i -race course, for he may need ?bat '-robe after the race is run, after .cb? fond hopes and lofty aspirations of the campaign lie dead. Mr. Bryan is a great stump .-?peaker, a man of strong in? tellect and a patriotic citizen who .?as the interest of the people of the .earhole country at heart, but he is not ?fa? only man in America who knows j democratic principles when they are met in the road : nor is the Kansas City jjlatform as fixed and unchanage able as the laws of the Medes and Per sions, and it is within the limits of the possible, politically, that the next National Democratic Convention will materially change that platform : con? sequently the criticisms of Mr. Bryan on the action of the Ohio Democratic Convention in an off year should not worry anyone. Mr. Bryan's opinion is merely an opinion and no one is bound by what he thinks or says. If his opinion is the correct one and in line with Democratic principles and policies when the next platform comes to be written, his opinion will probably prevail, but until that time arriv?s what is the use of getting excited over what Mr. Byan says? The Sest Bemedy For Stomach and Sovel Trouble. "I have been in tbe drag business for twe?ty 3ears and bave eold mo3t all tbe pro prietarj medicines of any note. Among the emire list I have never found anything to equal Chamberlain's Colic, Cboiera and Diarrhoea Remedy for all stomach and bowel troubles," aav3 O. W. Wakefield, of Colum baSj Ga.

For sale bj Dr A J China. Weekly Crop Bulletin. Columbia, July 16.-The week end- j ing Sa. m., July 15th., had nearly normal temperature, but was slightly cooler than usual over over the south? eastern portion, where there was also a deficiency in sunshine. The week's maximum was 100 at Blacks vi Ile on the 12th, and the minimum was 65 at Greenville and Spartnburg on the 9th, 10th and 11th. There was one severe local storm in Pickens County, and there were high, drying winds during the middle of the week throughout the State. Showers were frequent, and some quite heavy, along the southestern coast and over the northeastern coun? ties, and there were light scattered showers elsewhere, but generally throughout the State there was no rain until the 14th, when showery con? ditions prevailed over the whole State. Rain was badly needed for all crops, although the absence of rain was fa vorable for cleaning crops and giving them much needed cultivation. Some fields are still grassy, and will either be abandoned or allowed to make what they will in their foul condition. Cotton improved under cultivation, and, although still very small, looks healthy and is fruiting better than last week. Most of the fields have been cleaned of grass, and the plant are growing slowly. In places cotton continues to have a yellow color, and there are reports of shedding leaves and squares. Sea-island is thriving, but the plants, are dwarfed, and blight ! is present in spots. Old corn is extremely poor and will scarcely make half an average crop, while later plantings are more promis? ing. Bottom land corn is practically a failure. In certain widely separated sections the corn crop is excellent, but its average condition is low. Tobacco cutting and curing made progress. In localities an im?rovement in condition is noted, while generally the crop re? mains poor and inferior. Rice is thriving and responds to cul? tivator but in Colleton county cater? pillars are doing great damage. Melons are only beginning to ripen and will have poor yields. Sugar cane, sor? ghum, and peas are doing nicely. Sweet potatoes look promising. The dry weather caused pastures to fail rapidly. Peaches and grapes are still rottng, but not so extensively as heretofore. Apples continue to drop. "I am indebted to Ons Minute Couzh Cure or my present good beal'b a?-d my life.

Armstrong, of High Point, X. C., furnishes the followiing information: "Permit me to give a few facts in regard to the manufacture of furniture in High Point, X. C., as I am more familiar with the factories of that place, and as it is a representative Southern manufacturing town. The first factory there, the High Point Furniture Company, began work in 1889. They first made wheap chamber suits. Xbw there are thirty-three fac? tories, one for every one hundred and fifty people. Thomasville, seven miles from High Point, has twelve, which manufacture every article of furniture which man needs from the time he lies in his cradle until he seelps at last in his coffin within his window? less palace. It would be tedious to mention the name of the different factories and their managers and the various articles of furniture manufac? tured, which include everything that is needed for use and ornament in a modern dwelling, business house or office. These goods are shipped to every State of the Union and to some foreign countries. "The factories have been uni? formly and remarkably successful. Regular dividends ranging from 10 to 25 per centum per annum have been paid in nearly all cases. Stock sells at a good premium without exception. Xbt 610,000 worth of stock is owned out of town and none outside of the State. Many stockholders are young men and boys now at work at the benches. Ail labor employed is white, with the exception of a few negroes, who drive drays and handle lumber about the yard. An air of thrift, cleanliness and prosperity pervades the entire town. There is nothing about the work that is de? grading mentally, morally or physical? ly. It is no uncommon thing for the sons of the richest men in the town to begin by turning a lathe by the side of men who support their families on SI a day or less. The furniture factory has made High Point what it is today, and aleady it 'is widely known as a furniture manufacturing town.

Sold by Dr A. J. China * THE NEWSPAPER. A newspaper may be honest without being either a fair or a just newspa? per. It may be courageous, and yet lack both intelligence and honesty. It may be intelligent and yet lack in courage and honesty. It is compara? tively easy for a newspaper to be hon? est in a mere financial sense. It is not so easy to be honest and courageous in the higher sense-in proclaiming the truth, regardless of whether it may prove popular or otherwise : in stand? ing firmly for conservatism and fairness and justice in spite of passing storms of passion and prejudice and those sentiments which in the enthusiasm and intoxication of the hour forsake reason and consume themselves in their own heart. As the newspaper is the product of human beings it can I not escape the errors and mistakes and weakness which beset humnity. But it in an entity upon which rests great responsibility. Something more is required of it than is expected of the mere time-server and self-seeker in the field of politics or the world of greed and grab. The yellow newspaper, the sensational journal to which nothing is sacred, and which has only gain for its object-the newspper that is satis? fied to cater to ignorance and preju? dice in order to gain readers or worth? less praise, which seeks to array class against class, the rich against the poor, the poor against the rich, and which strives to attract attention or j popularity by an extreme course in the advocacy of some passing movement, i sentiment or fancy, contributes noth j ing to the public good or the general ?welfare, morally, socially or political ly. The power of publicity, however, i. great. Ic i.s a power which great and .small recognize and which the evil fear. To the wrong-doer it is a con? stant threat and menace . It exerts a restraining influence only second, perhaps, to that of the law. The newspaper that does its duty in all circumstances have sound judgment and true courage behind it. In no circumstance may it hope to escape criticism : often may it expect to be charged with dishonesty of motive. Nashville American. Charlotte. X.
