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?

The indications are that they are also

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?

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.

Furniture Making in South.
A recent paper on furniture manu?
facturing in the South, by.Mr. E. M.
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.

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.

BETTER THAN BABBIT ITjL
Mill men who have need for babbit
metal for renewing bearings can
obtain old type from the undersigned.
Type metal is much more expensive
than commercial babbit metal and is
much superior as any one who has
used it knows. I have a lot of old
type on hand which will be sold as
babbit metal at a price that will
make it cheaper than babbit.
