The condition Of our section is now better
than it has been for years. Our farmers
f'r the most part, have raised supply both
OF corn and meat, and preparations are
being n'aie fer a repetition of the same
good conduct fer the pre.ent year. The
cotton acreage was heavily diminishei last
year, and the present will not make much
if any, increase. Onr people, though late,
are beginning to realize the fact that hom,
supplies should be raised at home, as ihi, i,
evidently the only logical and true source
of prosperity to the agricultural people Of
the Piedmont country.
Inc farming interest is at present in n
backward condition, owing TO the lac and
unfavorable season. However, al seem TO be

The people Of this State, Of all factions,
are heartily tired of the pickering snd strife
that has been kept up between thom by the

VINO FOR GOVERNOR 1T is generally
talked that Governor Tillman, in order 10
place himself in = stronger position to make
the fight for the United States Ssnatorship,
will run again for Governor, and be elected,
having whom he wants for Governor placed
on the ticket for Lieut. enant Governor. The
idea is for him to rsslgR tho Goysrnorship
after the election has served his purpose and
let the Lieutenant Governor step up.
Isn't it about time the people had some
thing to say about who they want for Gov
ernor. Ono of the most prominent charges
made by the Reform candidates was that
under tho former State organisation, the
people bad 10 choice in selecting a candi-
date for Governor; but that was cut and dried
for them by the Columbia ring How is it
now?
