a moro quiet and satisfactory re-
suit never has taken place in any

seems that instead of dividing the

Independents arc buried too deep to

now Tillman takes tho Gubernatorial

DEAR COURIER: The farmers arc
nearly done picking cotton and
gathering corn. Wheat sowing is
the order of the day, although seed
wheat is so scarce that tho farmers
arc deprived Of sowing as much as
they desire. 1t is thought that next
year will be an unusual good wheat
year.
The election passed off very
quietly at IL precinct, Tillman re-
ccived forty-two, while Haskell only
received one. This n good showing
for this community and it can be
scc at a glance that our people arc
pure straightout Democrats.
Mr.. w. ID. Stribling is talking of
moving to Westminster in the near
future. We have not yet learned
his object, but we wish him success
in wh%atever.he undertakes.
While in Seneca the other day VIC
met up with our friend, "IIustlcr,"
and enjoyed a few hours %convcrsa-
ton with him. We find that George
has a paying position in the store ot
Adams Bros, and we wish him sue
cess.
The.railroad, which has so long been
talked about, is now being surveyed
out through this ncighborhood, but
this little start does not remind us of
a completed road with its daily pas
sengcrs.
We wonder why some good teacher
don't write to the trustees about the
school at Cross Roads. This il a
good chance for some one.
John King, of this ncighborhood,
says he has caught forty-two pos,
sums this fall with one dog. This is
good hunting, and if any of the boys
think they can beat him, let them
speak.
We arc looking for a good time,
for we have heard of several we'd
dings to take place about Christmas,
and if there are VIC will have the
pleasure of bracing up and saying
"a chance for us yet"

Judge horton FOR Re- Election.

Hon, j. j, Norton, Judge of the Eighth
judicial Circuit of South Carolina, will
DO reelected by the ensuing Legislature
without any opposition, SO far as known
at present. His frat term of four years
is drawing to n close, but he will doubt
less be made his own successor for four
years moro. %Gs.a
His record as q Circuit Judge has been
a credit to South Carolina, a State which
stands in the forefront of American
Commonwealth for tho learning and
uprightnoss of her Judges. His deci-
sions in all appealed cases have stood tho
test of tho Supreme Court remarkably
we'll. In almost ovcry case his rulings
and dccrces have been affirmed, either
wholly or in part, reversal being q rare
exception. But the most of his opinions
being in such strict conformity to the
law, very few arc tho number of appeals
taken from his decisions.
His services on tho bench for the past
four years show that he is peculiarly
fitted for tho duties of a Circuit Judge
of South Carolina. With intellect and
learning, which qualify him to deal with
the suDtlest principles and most intricate
questions of tho law, his patient and
pains-taking consideration Of every case,
rank him high among the Judges of tho
State, which has always bcon justly
proud of hor judiciary. His diligence
and accuracy, patience and urbanity,
iirmness and dignity make him most
acceptable to tho bar in tho discharge Of
tho varied and cxacting duties of q
Circuit Judge, whether on the civil or
criminal side of tho court.
Such is tho estimate placed upon his
character and ability as II Circuit Judge,
both by tho bar and the people of tho
State, that it is probable he will be elected
his W successor by tho ensuing Lcgis-
laturc without any opposition.

tiary. Being about thirty years old, of

city, AID withal energetic and industri-
ous, VIC feel no hesitation in heartily
recommending him to the approaching

store Your Cotton and Get Your
Price.

The Cotton Plant this week will
say ~cditorially:
1t is important that every farmer
who stores cotton in Alliance Ware
houses should put some limit of price
upon his product. In other words,
when you store your cotton, put your
price on it, and authorize the mana
ger to sell whenever a buyer offers
that figure for it.
This will greatly facilitate matters,
should a buyer from a distance want
a lot of cotton of n certain grade,
and should look through the ware
house with a view of buying. Buyers
would be induced to make special
trips to the warehouses, if they knew
that the manager could sell them a
car load of cotton, after the price
was agreed upon, without having to
run around over the country and
trade with a dozen different men
perhaps.
More than this,-if it were known
that the manager had his cotton
graded, and was prepared to quote
prices on car load lots of any desired
grade, buyers from all over the coun-
try would be t%elegraphing to him to
know whether he had certain grades
and at what figures.
In many eases, too, a car load of
cotton could be sold to n better
advantagc-that is, at n higher aver
age price, than could he had for a
single bale or n half dozen bales.
In short, whenever we get our cot
ton graded and in car load lots, and
it is understood that the manager is
authorized to sell above the limit
fixed by you, your cotton market
expands beyond the limits of a little
inland town market, and takes within
its possible scope the markets of the
States, of the United States, of the
world.
Let the customers ut the warehouse
in this county and in every county,
invariably put n reasonable price upon
their cotton when they store it, and
authorize the manager TO sell at or
above that figure.
In my Judgment this practice con
tains the germs of direct shipment
of cotton to Europe. 1t is not out
side the range of possibilities for
consignmcnts Of cotton to be made
direct from Alliance Warehouses to
Liverpool and continental points.
1t is coming, and coming through
the channels of the Alliance.
The day is coming when the mana
gers of Alliance Warehouses along
the Santcc, i'ccdcc and other MAYA
gable waters Of our State will make
consignmcnts of Alliance cotton
direct to European ports as regularly
az the weeks roll round.
Fine fancy, You say? Well, never
thcIcss, individuals now living in
this, Orangcburg county, have ship
ped their cotton to Liverpool direct
at their own risk, and for their own
individual accounts with very satis-
factory results. If individual far
mc"s & do this, why, pray, should
not the great Alliance brotherhood
manage it with distinguished success ?
II is u far-reaching scheme; ito posi-
bilitics are bcwildcring in their scope
but the day of destiny is dawning.
True, such a plan will certainly knock
