Tho Ginning Campaign.

During recent visit to Washington
Editor A. B. Williams, of the Green
vile News, was interviewed by the cor
respondent of the Atlanta Constitution
who speaks of the Gresnville Editor as
lone of the most Independent and
strongest writers on the South Carolina
press" Among other things Mr. Will
llsms said: "The signs in South Caro-.
lima are propitious from journalistic
point of view. It looks as if we are to
have the most complicated, venomous,
lunatic political tarantula dance ever
seen in this country. We haven't got
very big floor but its powerful hot.
Some States can show up more voters
than we can but We can count out more
voters per capita and work out more
deyilment to the voter than any people
on earth. We have:

"8. Some thousand men up a tree.
'srhat is fairly good complication
among $4,000 voters. Now add in the
Tillman anti-dispensary people, the
nt1-Tiliman dispensary people, the
prohibitionists, Wage Workers League,
some scattering Republicans, advocates
and opponents of a constitutional con
Yention, and the normal supply Of gen.
eral kickers and hoaters and dead beats,
an hating each other like sin and if Wa

The Reading Farmer.

He needs books and papers that treat

them indispensable. The farmers Re-
view, in replying 20 correspondent
who asks "What is the first thing that
a man going into farming should do?'
says: This is question to the point,
and one that we think is easily an
sWered. The first thing he should do is
to subscribe for two or three good agri-
cultural papers. He wants to COM

can take advantage of the experience
of others. This experience Of others

their hands and not enough with their

those old ideas they repeat in their op-

sort of farmer that desplses the agricult-

forget that the work of the agricultural
editor and writer is not to give the
world his own experience and opinions,
but to collect the valuable experience
of other farmers and bring them into
the home OF every sub b5criber; to gather
the rich opinions of the most progres

where they can be known and used by
the masses. The agricultural paper is

THERE Is story to those Gallo o

pertinent OF printing her toys, and he
has since paid her many thousands of
