The battle of ballots has ended and
the cause so grandly led BY the lead
ers of the Democracy has been de-
feated. The people of the United
States have said by their votes that
they are willing to give the gold
standard trial for four years, and
the Republican party are under
promise to give the country more
prosperous condition of affairs than
has existed and is now existing. If
they carry out the promise, the peo-
pie will be satisfied, but should they
fail and hard times continue, the peo,
pie with one voice will demand THAT
William Jennings Bryan be placed at
the head of the Government. They
will call him, because they realize
that he is the greatest living Ameri-
can of the age; they will call him
because the principles advocated BY
him must be right. Mckinley was
elected by a large majority, because
the business men Of the country We're
not willing to risk the threatened
panic that might have been brought
about by those who have the finances
of the country in their clutch. Ihe
laboring men were led to believe shat
Bryan's plan to bring on better
condition would work to their detrl-
ment. The gold-standard advocates
have won the fight, and it remains to
be seer whether they will be able by
their plan to relieve the great depres,
sion. We are not disposed to cry
over spilled milk, but rather, we hope
that better times are ahead, and while
we would have much preferred that
our standard had been led on to sue
cess, We console ourselves with the
hope that if the cause is Just 1t val
live, and at the next election 1t VII
WIN a triumphant victory.

Elsewhere in these coiumns will be
seen an important notice to farmers
Of this and adjoining counties, and
we sincerely trust that there will be a
liberal response to the call. This is
to be a meeting for the education OF
those interested in farming and its
adjuncts. 1t has no political signif-
canoe, whatever. President Craig
head, of Clemson College, has kindly
consented to come here and he will
be assisted by others. The opportu-
nifty afforded our farmers to be
schooled in matters pertaining to
their calling should be taken advan-
tage of by all who can possibly at
tend. It costs nothing and great
deal of information can be obtained.
We are exceedingly anxious that the
meetings be we'll attended, because
wherever they have been held great
good has resulted. Every ~ayoeation
is now reaebisgg~eaattto to improve its
methetSt to compete in the struggle
to make every thing that can be
utilized count, and to bring itself III
line in the march of progress. The
Institute proposed is to teach our
farmers how 10 conduct their affairs
with the least cost and to make their
calling the equal OF any other This
is no scheme to organize the farmer
against any other class, nor is it a
scheme for the political advancement
of any individual. The notice signed
by the committee explains itself and
We want everybody to become inter-
ested.
