EQTN AHEAD.

"Coming events cast thoir shad-
ows before" and politics in South
Carolina promises to bo lively and
interesting. There are ,legions,
who want Office, and arc watching
the popular wave to watt them In
to a place, where the duties are
light and tho compensation, am
plo. Tho trouble, however, lies in
the fact, that the dear people think
for themselves and settle matters
according to their own notions,
orttimos playing havoc with the
best devised schemes Of politicians.
They can penetrate plots and can
Judge men, not boing easily, de-
coived by ambitious aspirants with
plausible projects.
Already combinations are re-
ported in Washington and the
bands to play. Sholl and McLan-
rim havo been in close convcrsa-
ton, and Sholl prononnces McLau-
rim the biggest man in South Caro-
lima. Irby is not idle and comes
to the front with his call for q
meeting ,,of tho Democratic State
Executive Committee. After max
ing tho formal call and stating
the object, no takes advantage OF
the opportunity and prcachcs a
little sermon on tho principles of
the democratic party and the
danger to its purpose and success.
He worked terribly on tho feelings
of the Conservatives and put them
all to shouting, cvon the Ncws
and Courier cXclaims amid tears
of JOY, that lrby is right ono time.
Bowdcn is running to the other cx-
trcmc and trying to form an indt-
pendent organization. Between
the two, the domocrotic party in
this state stands in danger OF be-
ing pulled asundcr. There is no
real cause of alarm, and tho pco-
plc should remain together and
pay no attention to all this noise
and furry about nothing, except
Il desire to he prominent and in a
position to pick up the best pl,,ms.,
The silver men arc going to cap
ture the Chicago Convention and
South Carolina must have q share
in the 10Y of it.

Mako Cotton a Surplus Crop.

We desire to impress upon the
, farmers throughout the South the
Importance Of planting full food
products for the coming year
Circumstances make it more i'm.
portant than over this year.
The most prosperous farmers in
the South are those who mako full
food crops and plant thoir surplus
in cotton.
Ono reason why it is more i'm
portant this year to make an in
crease i'll food crops is furnished
in the war clouds that hang around
us at present. While there yqlay
DO no danger of foreign war, tho
fact is worry apparent that, while
we NAV not become complicated
IN it, u foreign war cannot be much
longer delayed. Every nation in
Europe and Asia is better equipped
for war than over before. 1t sccms
that they have been preparing for
years to strengthen their arma-
ments and to increase the capacity
Of thcir war chests. They have
gone so far that every ono of them
is afraid to reduce taxes for fear
that some othor will tako advan-
tago Of it. Thinking men SEQ in
this great monaco to the pcaoc
of the world. This being tho case,
and the knowledge of tho fact that
any war in Europe would very
much affect the prico Of cotton
and enhance tho valuo of broad
stufl's, induces us t. insist that
farmers of tho South increase their !
food crops. . i
The idea has gono abroad that
thcro will be worry large cotton
crop planted this year. Whether
the acreage IS increased or not, tho
consumers of cotton fool certain
that it will be, and the price Of
cotton will probably be much low
er when the new crop comes in
than it IS now.
A man makes no mistake to
plant enough food crops to make
him independent Of any other far
mcr. Cotton will keep even if it
is at low price. But wan who
has to hold his cotton and buy his
provisions on time IS letting the
candle burn at both ends, and it
is only question Of time when he
will go to tho wall.
Tho South especially will suffer,
if brcadstulls riso in price. y man
cannot eat his cotton; and, untor-
tunatoly, We send siX-cighths Of
our cotton production out of Tho
South to be manufactured before
wo can usc it.
Our farmers should sec to it that
they havo enough supplies at
home, and whatever thoy can af.
ford to plant over and above, thai
they should put in cotton.-Con
StitutiOn.
The people's journal. (Pickens, S.C.) 1891-1903, 1896-03-19

1t seems to me that it is little
cheeky for tho powers that be to
expect love from tho people, much
less 'idolization. They should "a
moderation keep. Kings ought to
spear and not skin their Sheep"
L am glad to SEQ that some Of
the loading papors of tho nation
aro beginning to look at tho agri-
cultural figures. Tho Now York
Herald, Atlanta Constitution etc.
They show that the producers Of
tho four leading crops of corn,
wheat oats and cotton havo lost on
thoir crops alono since 1890 sum
equal to $1.178.OOO, 900, nearly two
billions Of dollars by the doelin-
Of prices. Then thero is tro-
mendous decline in the values Of
farms, otc. But here wo must
watch our state authorities, they
do not wish to appear to be power
ty stricken, and make most des-
perate efforts to keep up the as
sessments; and but too we'll sue
coed on this line. ! must confess
my opinion of my fellow man ON
the decline, am disgusted with ono
part for expressing, and tho other
for submitting. AS Burns says,
"Good Lord what is man, for SIM
pie rs he looks, do but try to do
velop his hooks and crooks, with
his depths and his shadows, his
good and his evil, all in all he is a
problem must puzzle tho dovil." l
fear we, will not puzzle him SO
badly that he will fail to got his
brand onus.
An important point to remom-
Der is that many acres produce $40
to 800 dollars, SO many acres
must only produce 81 or less. I
can show you acres that you would
not give so much for.
What about our boastcd civili-
zation with 5000 or 10000 mur-
d,rs annually and $1S,000,OOO of
reported ,embezzlements, probably
only small portion published.
