Senator Faulkner Thinks the Ne.rt House
Viii be Democratic.

81 sincerely believe now that with the
wonderful improvement in the industrial
interests of the country which is going on,
the next House will be held by fair work
ing majority" said Senator Faulkner, the
chairman Of the Democratic congressional
committee, to Star reporter the other day.
81 am frank to admit, he continued that
a month ago the political horizon was rather
cloudy, and our confident hope of maintain
ing the Democratic supremacy in Congress
was in somewhat of an eclipse. The reac-
ton during the past two weeks, however
throughout the whole country has simply
been marvellous. Reports from all sections
of the country indicate already to a great
extent that the party has thrown off its
lethargy and indifference, and is arousing
itself for one of the most earnest, aggressive
and enthusiastic campaigns that we have
had in the country for some time. | do not
mean by this that the party is over-confident.
1t realizes that it has to fight an astute, able
and earnest organization, which has so long
fattened upon the results of power and been
entrenched so firmly behind the protective
barriers of legislation that nothing but unity
in the Democratic organization will enable
the latter to maintain its supremacy.
"In other words" concluded Senator
Faulkner, "this is Democratic fight against
the Republican party, in which we have no
discussion, but all are united in a common
cause against the common enemy Wash.

Morgan's Grove Fair was again a success
and had fair weather. Great crowds attended
daily, and the exhibits quite up to the best OF
the series of annual displays. The address of
welcome was by Prof. Kimler. There was a
tournament with all the pleasures incident to
such performances a baby shown which
fond mothers hopes and fears were excited
expectations realized and disappointments had
their short reign.
From the Register we learn that the exhibit
of fruits, vegetables and agricultural products
was far superior to any previous year. The
drought had had little effect upon the garden
ers who competed for prizes. Benz. Hartzell
had exactly 100 different sorts of vegetables on
exhibition, and there's not shabby article in
the lot. Joseph Z. Smooth was close behind
him with rs varieties of choice garden pro-
ducts g. T. Licklider had 40 varieties. Phil
ip Showers, of Berkeley county, made splen-
did show of potatoes. No less than 10 differ
ent lots of onions were entered. Mr.. Hartzell
carried off the prize for the biggest pumpkin
66-pounder There was fine display OF
fruit-apples, pears, grapes, plums, even peach
es. Frank McQuilhun had 81 varieties of ap-
pies G. T. Licklider had 55 varieties of fruits,
of which IS were different sorts of apples he
won the premiums for largest variety of fruits.
Frank McQuilkin got first premium on apples.
Jacob H. Cookus showed II varieties Of grapes
and Mrs. T. Homsher Il.
The ladies department contained a hand
somer display than ever before-almost dou-
BILE the number of articles of any previous
year. There were about 800 entries in all
10l9 entries of preserves jellies, canned goods,
wines bread and cake. Such collection of
delicious looking samples of the HOUSEWIFE
skill was never seen in this section, We verify
believe. Miss Laura Link exhibited 81 varieties
of canned goods, and carried off the premium,
handsome mirror Miss Edith Maddox had
AZ varieties of jelly Miss Betsy Lucas A and
Mrs j. J. Byers %. Miss Lucas got first pre-
mium-a pair of fine blankets. The wines
were tempting looking and of every sort under
| the sun.
The exhibits in all other departments were

The American Protective Tariff League,
LAYING down the wise proposition that ''if
every patriotic American will purchase only
American goods, produced by American la
Dor, the new tariff bill will have very much
less disastrous effect than otherwise" calls
upon Patriotic Americans to pledge them
selves accordingly. To put the matter
plainly. if we are all Patriotic Americans,
and if, though we have been released in part
from compulsion of buying American pro-
duets at higher rates than foreign goods
command, we will, nevertheless, continue
to buy them a. the old prices, the producers
will not have to make any reductions, and
everything will go merrily on as before, the
monopolst still getting richer and the Pa
triotic American poorer. 1t is all very sim
pie and very unselfsh and patriotic.

Hon. Vn. L. Wilson's Modesty.

A constituent of Mr.. Wilson recently sent

Mr. Wilson's reply shows the characteristic
modesty with which the chairman bears his
laurels. The correspondence is as follows !;
at has been said that eloquence in the
American Congress was orphaned at the
death of Webster. If so, you are her guard
ian. If Horace, Juvenal and Quintilian
were buried with Sumner, you have revived
them. If Plato and Aristotle departed with
Schurz, they returned with you. congrat-
uate you upon the great achievement in
advancing the peoples cause. Had Ed
mund Burke heard your speech he would
have called it statesman's work. The man
who writes the record Of your public life
will say, as he should say, of you what the
great Dr. johnson wrote of Oliver Gold
smith, Mill tetigit quod non ornayit.' l
say these things because it is pleasure to
me to pay just tribute to genius" Col. R.
R. McMahon must have penned the above
tribute to Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson replied thus: 81 should be
greatly frightened if l believed that | de-
served one-tenth part of the praise your
friendship awards me, for | should stagger
under burden of responsibility for the rest
of my life, and thus lose great deal of the
happiness that neutrality-suspicious. de-
rives from his own insigni6cance. None the
less, however, thank you for words which
1 know are prompted by feelings I cordi-
ally reciprocate."

The new tariff bill has removed the tax on
the salt the Virginia farmers use for their
stock and for curing their meat. They are,
thereby, and in one respect, at least, put up
on an equality with the fish packers of New
England Owing TO the increased demand
for wool, caused by the passage of the bill
referred to, the price of that article has adj
yanced. The benefits of the bill will be
general. and the farmers will receive their
full share Of them.

Ex.speaker Reed said in a recent speech
that Southern men haven't business sense
enough TO appreciate the benefits of pro-
tectiye tariff That isn't true where the
tariff benefits Southern man, or even where
be thinks it does, he is apt to be quite de-
monstratiye in his appreciation, unless he
is capable Of preierring the public welfare
to his private interests. The trouble about
the business sense of the average South
ern man is that it doesn't appreciate the
merits of a system that benefits somebody
else at his expense.
