now. Heretofore it was always
taken for granted that South Caro-
lima WAS for free trade, but at the
recent state convention the
democrats refused to pass a
resolution approving the Mills
bill. The resolution was killed by
the usual committee of resolutions,
and its friends were afraid to
appeal to the convention.
The wool growers of Adair
county should take steps to or
ganize a Wool Growers Associa-
lion. The sheep industry is a
very important one in this county
and Is becoming more important
year by year. We believe an
association of this kind would be
of great benefit in many ways. If
there are any interested in this
matter our columns are open to
them for an expression of opinion
and discussion of the subject.
At the railroad meeting at
Hannibal Thursday of last week a
committee of one from each coun-
ty was appointed to solicit sub
scrlptions; also committee on
charter. The committee on char
ter met IN the parlors of the Par
cells House yesterday and decided
to lncorpol ate under the laws of
Iowa. A meeting will be called in
few days for the purpose of rails
ing a subscription to make the
survey through this county, and
We hope our citizens will display a
most liberal spirit in this matter,
as the road will be of great benefit
to the entire county.
We call attention to the
notice of the chairman of the
Republican central committee
which viii be found elsewhere in
these columns. 1t will be seen
ihat the judges of the election are
not expected to ask known Re-
publlcans any questions at all.
Now we want every man, and
every boy who will be twenty-one
years old by the November cleo
ton, to go to the primary and vote
for their man. We would like to
see every Republican vote in the
county polled next Friday.
liver since the commence
ment of the civil war the state of
New York has given its electoral

cratic parties alternately, as the

Newspaper publishers are
now receiving printed letters from
the California Bureau of cores
pondence, and it is proposed by
the Bureau to furnish these letters
each week, to the publisher who
VIII pay one dollar each for them.
A glance at the letters reveals the
fact that they are written solely to !
boom California. 1t is expected
by this means to get the state ad-
Feftlsed for nothing and in addi- !
ton to charge the publisher one
dollar week for the advertising
saatter. This is cheek We have
Informed the Bureau that we |
charge twenty dollars column |
for the publication of such letters |
and should any of these letters |
appear in the GRAPH1Sat ANYTIME |
our readers will understand that |
they appear as paid advertise
ments.
