tJNION, 8. C., NOVEMBER ?, 1900.
Last Saturday 1075 bales of cotton
were sold from wagons in Anderson.
This is believod to be the largest
number ever sold in an interior market
In this State. The amount paid
to the farmers was about $54,000.
The price lOo was the samo as wns
paid here on that day.
Speaking yesterday in the language of
Shakespeare about President Roosevelt
and the objections which have been made
to Senator Gorman's characterization of
him, we asked:
"Upon what meat doth this our Caesar
feed.
That he is grown so great?11
The answer to this question came in a
very unexpected way yesterday from a
blight young business man in Proud
street who said that the President ev d antly
fed on Ham.?The News and Courier.
Reduced to the last analysis, there
will never be much fear of the law 01
any material checking of crime until
juries do their duty, and that will be
only when the names of the best men
are put into the jury boxes by the
commissioners. So that it is up to
tham to take the first step toward
bringing about this much-needed reform.
If good names are put into
the boxes good names will be drawn
out; otherwise not.?Newberry Observer.
In the elections last Tuesday th(
? nww iwk, carrying the city by f
plurality of <>5i,<?17. The contest was
> one of the most fiercely fought that
was ever known. Nearly every pul
pit and newspaper supported the
Fusion ticket, headed by the present
mayor, Seth Low, a republican, and
there were several important secessions
from the democracy.
Col. Geo. B. McClellan, the democratic
nominee for mayor, is a son of
Gen. McClellan, who commanded the
Federal array in the early part of the
war between the States, and is a man
of clean record, who will no doubt give
New York as good a government as
she ever had.
This success restores tho prestige
of Tammany and will be of immerse
advantage to the democrats in next
year's presidential election.
Maryland has also been carried for
demooracy by a small plurality which
makes it safe in next year's election.
Kentucky also went democratic,
Gov. Beckham being reelected by a
majority of about 20,(XHJ.
In Rhode Island, Gov. Irwin, democrat,
is believed to be relected.
In Ohio, Tom Johnson was badly
beaten by the Republicans.

DEATH OF GEN. M'CKADY.
Gen. Edward McCrady died in
Charleston last Sunday in the 71st
year of his age of heart disease. As
a Confederate soldier he served with
distinguished gallantry from the beginning
to the end of the war, in
which he was severely wounded, and
when peace was established, he still
devoted his energies to the services
of his native State.
He introduced in the Legislature
the S-box election law, which served
its purpose till the Constitutional
convention established our present
registration and election law of which
he was also the author.
His history of South Carolina from
its first settlement to the close of
the revolutionary war is a valuable
contribution to the State and will
carry his name down to futuro gen
VI RMWII0I
In the chnrch he was a pillar of
strength, being devoted to its interest#
and constant in its services.

point to the belief that no top crop wot
mentioning will be gathered, but tl
i answers to the question of grading a*
staple, show it to be lietter as a who
than last year. Although the gener
consensus of opinion is that the cn
will be smaller than a year ago, it
pointed out that the bigger price rulin
the advance on last year being 1 to 1 3
cents, makes the crop potentially as va
uable in a money way as a year agi
, Making all allowances for under-estim
tion, liieReports as a whole, point to
yield in bales no larger, if indeed it quil
equals, that of last year, which saw

VALUE OK MANURE.
Though no correct estimate of tin
value of manure can be made, yet (hi
following is an estimate that is as cor
rect on the average as can be arrived at
The value of manure from cottonseed
meal is about $28 per ton; Unseed meal
$20; beans, $10; clover hay, $10 corn
meal, $7; straw, $.'{; and turnips, $1.
Tt e value of manure depends not only
upon the food, but also upon the condition
of the animal that makes it.
COWS AND PASTURE.
All breeds of cattle or other stock
have l>een kept close to certain point*
and characteristics in order to leudm

p Orders have been issed by the act0
ing Secretary of War to the command- j
1$ ing officer of Jefferson barracks, Mo.,
ie" to send regular troops armed with (
1 loaded rifles to act- as an escort, to
11 $:i,000,OtK) in gold and paper money \
which has been shipped from .here to
the United States Sub-Treasury in
s St. Louis. The money is to be hauled
^ in army wagons and not, as is cusc(
tomary, in express wagons. This un- |
usual action of the War Department.
4 was taken at the instance of the
j. Treasury Department, aud was the ,
in outcome of conditions produced by
us the run on St. Louis banks and a genii
eral strike of teamsters there. The 1
rs run on the banks produced an urgent 1
si- call for cash and when the Treasury
u" Department notified the express
companies, which have contracts to
ship money, the companies declared
BV that they could nj>t deliver it on ncc".
count of the teamsters strike. In
al this extremity the Treasury called on
),, the War Department for army wag- ,
lie ons to haul.the money and for troops
is to guard them. Although the re- 1
a. quest was unusual and liable to bring
at criticism on the War Department.
10 Acting Secretary of War Oliver did
lir not hesitate to grant it. It is probable
that his action will bring violent
denunciation from the teamsters,
Ie and perhaps from labor unions gen~
erally; but there is no fear of any interference
with thee drivers
to ed by an escort of cavalry. - !
st General George L. Gillespie, chief
d- of engineers, has asked for an appro- <
d- priation of more than $10,000,000 for <
fortifications and defenses in 190").
. The report has just been made pub- !
Iie lie and includes estimates for the do- J
fence of the Philippines nnd Hawaii. '
| It asks for $2,000,0<H) for defeuses in t
j the insular possessions. The other
j3 millions are asked for the construe- 1
1(1 tion of gun and mortar batteries,
j? range and position finders, searehr.
lights for harbor defenses, sea walls '
a and erhbanktnents, torpedo boats, '
lia etc. It says that the sea coast de- 1
>L- fenses of the United States are some- I
;d what more than 50percent in complein
tion. Twenty-five of the principal j
id harbors have a sufficient number of
118 heavy guns and mortars to enable an
effective defense against naval at- '
tacks. Our island possessions are
. ( however practically defenseless as far t
1 'J as fortificntious are concerned. ^
President Roosevelt has had tho
j3 report of Mr. Bristow on the postal
frauds for about a week. He is going
.4 over it carefully and as it is a very (
\. bulky document, about 2,000 pages (
0. of an ordinary government report ; it [
a- will be some time before he will have
a finished considering it, before it is
te given to the public. It has been de- v
a clared by some that he held it back I
53 ae that the Democrats could not uso a
it in the campaign. However Mr. t
Roosevelt is making no effort to con- (j
ceal the magnitude of the costal
|g I frauds and has just ordered Mr. Bris- '
y 1 tow's inspectors to proceed to New ^
n York to submit that office to u most v
i- rigid investigation. h

Etta Jane, Nov. .2.?Since our
mail has been cut off from Union
(that city seems to be about as far oft' s
as New York?that i9, its about as
easy to| get a hearing from there as
^ from Union. This is <juite an anp
noyancc to people having dealings
a with our neiglibors on the other side
n of Pacolct. Some who have dealings ^
' with Kclton find it about as far oft' 1
1 as the city of Boston if we measure 8'
the distance by the time it takes a
j letter to go and return. We believe ^
e in reform of the right kind, but not
i such that interfere with the legiti- T
mate business of the country.
; Though its all plainly traceable to .
the loss of the Skull Shoals bridge g1
which ought to have been replaced
i before now. Union county, we un- ^
! derstand, has proposed long since'to (
replace the bridge but our own county
of Cherokee is the one giving us the j.
reason to complain. We hope it j j
, wont always be the case.

Everything points to the next
Confederate Reunion being held in
Charleston next spring. This will
>e a fine chance for the hoys and
;ents to visit the city by the sea, and
ve hope many of them will be able
o do so. Every old veteran highly
ppreciates the kindness and hospiality
of the people of Columbia who
lid and still will do all in their
tower to make the old soldiers and
heir friends enjoy themselves. Yet
fe hope the reunion will go to Chareston
for next year at least. The
ights to be seen are greater in
Charleston than in Columbia, but
be welcome to the veterans, warm
s it will be, can't beat Columbia.
The price of cotton has- put a broad
mile on the faces of the farmers, eseciallv
