ject to criticism. We expect it. But
We do dislike TO be misquoted and mis-
represented as was done at Siig;IS last
Friday by oue Of the lesser lights. He
put construction on an editorial OF
ours that he undertook to criticize that
was not in accord with the facts. But
then we are getting somewhat ac-
customed to that sort of thing. Some of
these small calibre politicians think it
is smart to abuse and misrepresent
when they can find no flaws without
doing so. But in the end that sort of
thing will rebound on their own heads
with ten times the force they sent it.
This editor has lived among these peo-
pie long enough for them to know him,
and as long as he is conscious of doing
tie rights as he sees it, these little filings
cannot hurt or harm him.

MONEY TO MOVE TIE CROP.

Those who heard the speakers at
Slighs will remember that they feared
there would be no money to move the
cotton crop, and as a consequence the
farmers would he unable to sell, or If
they sold, would have to sell belo" the
market price.
The Herald and News does not under
take to speak for other markets, butts
for as Newberry is concerned, there
will be money here to pay for the cot
ton as it comes in. We have seen
President Mclaughlin and Mr.. I. 5.
Duncan of the New 5erryBank and they
Tell US there will be no trouble on that
score. The price may be low, but there
will be no reason why the cotton shall
not bring the market price and the
bank will be, and it is now, in position
to pay for it as it comes in.
Money is scarcejust now as it is every
year just at this season. 1fit were nc:
cessary the bank could pay for 1900 or
1000 bales without waiting for the re-
turns from it. There will not be that
much put OH the market at one time
and as it comes in it will be shipped
out and the returns will soon be COM
ing back from it, besides that a large
part of the crop will so to tie bank
and the merchants for debts that are
due them and in this way The money
will be kept here.
The ability to pay for the cotton,
need not frighten any one. Brig it
along to Newoerry as you get it out
and you will soon have evidence that
you can realize the market price for it in
hard cash.

The Spartanburg Herald suggests
Gen. E. NJ. Law, of Yorkville, for Gov
ernor and Mr.. \. B. Dial, of Laurens,
for rLieutenant-Governor, the one rep
resenting the older Democracy and the
other the young Democracy. They are
both good men and have been true to
South Carolina. The Herald and News
as yet has no suggestions to make and
is not endorsing any. Gov. Tillman,
you see, may desire third term, and
If the people want him their wishes
must be CONSULTED.

Col. CASTOR, in his speech at Sligh's
last Friday, said that We could not
keep the money here unless we had
more manufacturing enterprises. 1t
will continue to go from US. On that
proposition what good will it do to in
crease the circulation? It will be only
q matter of time when the increased
amount will seek these manufacturing
centres. The best thing then for US to
do will be to build more factories.
