tho deduction that dissolution will come much
earlier than has been generally predicted. lio
thinks the date will be June3 Mr.. Gladstone
had hoped to throw the general elections over
until later. in order to have enough tme in
which to perfect his legislative proposals be-
fore the new Parliament meets. but events arc
downfall will probably come about in ten
weeks or so. even without any active efforts on
mcnt. The Conservatives are 50 GcmornliZcd
that they can hardly be induced to attend tho

feat OF tho Government on test vote increase
daily.
The Liberals ARE eagerly awaiting tho Soc

The State Campaign.

We believe from all that we see in the news
papers that this campaign is to be one Of per-
sonalities, and not one or contention for prin-
ciple.
Personally, as between the Tillman ticket
and the Sheppard ticket we believe there is
not enough difference 10 interest the Press
and Banner one way or the other, and we do
not intend to use these columns for the pur-
pose Of villifying any of the candidates. nor
do we intend TO make any effort TO hold up
the head of either ticket to public ridicule.
We have already had SO much of this that
"the whole head is sick, aud the whole heart
Is faint"
II the public questions are discussed we
hope 10 take a part, but we do not expect 10
admit personalities into these columns. If
reduced to question OF personal preference
there is absolutely and positively nothing in
IL for US.
II the matter of refundlng the State debt
is d live issue; or If the official conduct
OF anybody Is to be investigated; or If the
question of expressing the corporations is u
matter TO receive attention; or Il the fact that
hundreds Of thousands of dollars are now go
ing abroad for investment, instead Of remain
ing at home, is OF any Importance; or If the
question of welcoming foreign capital within
our border should come up; or If the temper
ance question receives notice, the Press and
Banner will likely take y full hand in the dis
cussion Of these or any other public questions
that may agitate the public mind, but we will
not take any part in personalities.

FINE RAINS.
The Good Outlook On the Farms in
Abbcvillc County.

We have been blessed with an abundance
of rain during the last week. The crops had
begun to need it. Owing 10 the energy OF
our farmers, and the favorable weather tor
working the land, the crops were in splendid
fix, and were waiting for the refreshing
showers.
There never was. n year when the crops
were aS well worked al this season. and no
crop was ever work ell with as little expense
than this one hmS been.
The small grain crops are fairly good.
i much la. ger area has been planted IN
the corn than has been cultivated II any
humber of farmers who still think IL better
to waste as much time III hau ing corn from
the village as it, would take to piOW and
make enough corn TO supply their own
needs
Corn, as n money crop to sell Is poor one,
but when it. comes TO buying corn, none bni
a poor farmer Will depend on Western corn
and Western hay. The expense and loss OF
time In hauling il from the village is often
after equal TO the labor and time required 10
make the grain on the farm.
The grass has been reasonably good this
year, and those OF our fellow-ctizcnS who
have provided themselves with pastures
have been abun dantly rewarded Tor their
outlay III money and labor III building
fences.
Asa rule, AL those farmers WHO wish TO
succeed, aS well Ms those who wish To rub
along with rs little work rs possible, are
realizing the great help to be realized in pro
vidng pasturage for their stock OF all KINDS.
Our farmers have gone less In debt THIS
year than in any previous year, ana Win
reasonable crops and fair prices they will be
in good condition this Fail.

Political HOdSepOGGe.

The ants had meeting last Saturday, at
which some ten or twelve were present.
They discussed the situation, but did nothing
more, as far as we know.
The farmers held a caucus last Monday. at
which there was large delegation. They.
like the antis, discussed the situation and
counted their hosts.
We believe it Is generally conceded that the
total vote of the county will be 5000.
The antis claim anywhere from 100 TO LOO.
The Tillnan side grant to the ants about
$50 so we have heard.
There is some anxiety on the Tillman side
lest by some hocus pocus the S5Onntis should
elect member to the Legislature. and it is
thought that they will bend every nerve TO
prevent SO great calamity as that OF having
an anti in the legislature.
Because of their fear Of the $50 1t may be
possible that the primary plan OF election
will be practically done away with by nomi-
mating candidates in caucus for the primary
election.
If all the candidates for the Legislature are
willing TO submit their chances before Il ca u
Gus the plan may be adopted, but in case
there IS kicking the danger is that some of
the Tlllman candidates and somoof the Till
man voters may not be willing to yielc all
their rights TO the bosses, and they may run
any way. In that event the machin e-made
candidates may be defeated by the kickers
and the antis.
The above Is believed 10 be about the true
situation, but we do not speak as by author
ity.
We have no good advice to give. 1t may be
better for the antls for the convention plan 10
prevail. That plan, If it should win one time
will be sure TO bring about new state Of
things. People will not long vote for bosses
and machine-nade candidates.
