We are also often told that paper in Union
ought to have a. many subscribers as the
papers in spartanburg and Laurens
but when We take into consideration that
Spartanburg has nearly three times ths
number Of white voters, and Laurens has
between four and Ave hundred more, than
We have in Union, we think our seven hun.
dred names is fully equal, In proportion, to
the 1900 in spartanburg and / 900 In Lau.
rsns which we are told the papers In those
cities claim.
Another thing we are told: Our sdyer,
tising rates to merchants are too high. In
answer to that charge we invite any one
complaining to compare our charges with
those Of any paper around US. The difficulty
with such persons is, when they contract for,
say, quarter of n column for one year, for
acertain sum, they not only invariably get
more than that space, but they claim the
right to insert local and special notices, or
any other additional advertisement, in any
part Of the paper, free. We have yet to see
any merchant throwing in" q yard Of rib
bon, pound of salt, . foot of plank, or the
smallest part Of anything else. when they
present their bills to US. We could net
have practiced much extortion upon our
merchants in an advertising patronage sggre-
eating $3.50 per annum for the past ten
years.
We are willing to advertise at the same
prices charged BY the Spartanburg, New
berry and Laurens papers, although We
have not one-half the number Of advertisers
that they have in those Cities.

A COOP ExAMpLE.-One of the
prominent addresses delivered during
the commencement exercises of the Gaff:
ney City male and Female Seminary,
was that by Mr.. MCGOWAN, rising young
lawyer of Union, S. c. The speaker

he entered the South Carolina University
m"cre uc 0UuIPIosSu IvY YuIaI vvuioJ
The action Of the faculty and students
OF the Seminary at Gaffney City in
bringing back to their halls former stu
dent, to deliver one of the leading ad-
dresses, is worthy of commendation.
Too many institutions of learning wait
Tor their graduates to become famous
away from from home, before they re-
eei1e any specia! attention or honor
from their Alma Mater. But the young
speaker and his speech constituted the
good example We desire to mention. Mr..
McGowan's discourse was manly, origi-
nal logical, and an exponent of large
ciass OF the young men now coming to
the front all over the South. The speak
er outlined ct least threo great questions
yet to be settled by the present genera.
tiop: The negro question, projection,
and common school Education. .Tboucb

Trade and Secession" said the speaker,
! am not free trader. BY this 1 do
not mean to assert that l am protec-
zionist My observation. and couyic-
slons incline me in that direction" He
aEgued that protection at the North was
adopted to foster manufacturing enter
priscs while the South were mere con-
sumers. 1t paid and is paying the North.
On like principles it will pay the South,
since she has gone into manufacturing,
1t is hopeful sign to see young men
OF the South following their own reason
ing powers, adapting themselves TO the
age in which they live, and having
boldness enough to break away from
antiGuated lines Of thought, asset their
own individual conviction of roioy and
duty.
In urging his fellow members on to

said: "What part in the great drama
Of life shsh you mud l take? Shall it be
on the front of the stage, receiving the
applaud Of ouf follow men; or shall ii be
on the back ground, simply shifting the
scenes and showing other mems great

AwoRD FoR THE TARHKRS
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND DON'T LEI
Tue TRUST GET YoU By THE THROAT.

To the Farmers Of tho State: There
10 general movement on foot, in which
numbers of your best representatives
are taking an active part, looking to
the erection Of cotton seed oil mills in
SfrirHs aaalSissa,..G The su es.i.aelishmss: Il llA
tain, and it il also certain that, if you
will support chem, they viii work 10 your
immediate good end benefit.
1t 10 probable that trusts and combi-
notions will attempt TO throttle them;
but those ofyou who, directly or ipdi-
rsctly. lend your aid to such efforts,
would seem to be working against the
best interests Of yourselves and your
people. Should the large mill, offer
you few cents more per bushel for your
seed, the offer will be made and
the price given only for tho purpose
OF bringing matters to that point
where they will control the market
and force you to their terms. Will
you then twist tho rope to be used at
your own hanging?
The local mills give you Immediately
the benefit Of price. on the spot for
seed which you have previously paid
with freight added to the warehouses
of mills at distance; on cotton seed
meal they will give you the same price
in your town which you have previously
paid st the warehouses of the large
mills. In addition to these advantages
large amount of money which have
been going away from your towns and
the State is kept at home and in circu.
lation. 1t is not the making in and
Withdrawing Of money from commun-
ity which makes it prosperous, but it
is the making and tho spending of money
there which accomplished this result.
1t will take short-sighted policy on
the part of any of our number, for the
sake of few extra dollars per crop, and
only for the single crop if competition
with the large mills can be crushed by
their methods, to relinquish the positive
advantages alluded to above. To those
who think seriously on this subject it
must appear as one of the greatest dan
gers ahead ofthess important local en-.
terprises that they may not be supported
by those very persons whom they cal
calated most to benefit. Beware of the
promptings of cupidity in what at most
can be but email temporary gain, at the
expense Of your lasting prosperity. Feed
your home mills first with all the seed
they can consume at the prices the large
mills paid last year, and then sell the
surplus to the latter.
Some ofthe small mills have put in
the best and most improved machinery
some Of it better than any ever used pre-
viously in any of the large mills, and
with your cooperation with them for
your mutual benefit, they will succeed
and you will bo pro6tel thereby.
