NEW ZION NEWS.

New Zion, July 6.-We have fine
seasons and very good corn crops.
Cotton has got move on her for the
past ten days. Tobacco is looking
fine. Hope to make full crop.
I see Manning has put her shoul-
der to the wheel of enterprise and
some of the business men have put
their hands in their pockets and are
going to have a warehouse of their
own. There is some o1e who de-
serves credit for that. If she gets
the buyers I believe Manning will
buy her share of the golden weed
this year.
1 have taken close inspection OF
Messrs. Thomas & Bradbam's tobac-
co last week. They have fifteen
acres just as good average as there
can be found in Salem. If properly
cured it will sell for one hundred and
fifty dollars per acre.
Mr.. Harry Dickson, OF BishopVille,
is spending some time with Rev. W.
A. Wright.
Rev. W. A. Wright and Rev. Mr.,
Porter, OF Lynchburg, conducted a
revival meeting at Pine Grove church
which lasted two weeks. It was a
revival meeting, indeed. 1t was the
good, old-time religion at that place
to ali that would accept Christ. One
will commence at New Zion church,
July 6. We hope to have g good
meeting here. l would like to say
Just here, that we will not invite can
didstes to attend this meeting to
e!ecrioneer, bnt we invite all who
will come for the good of their souls.
Mr.. Editor, I see communication
of the oath from Johnnie Brown,
where he said the frost would kill the
grass in J. E. Green's field. We can
account for what he said. You know
when a man is going to take wife he
is liable to say most anything, and
from what I can learn Johnnie is 60
inc to take wife and I believe what
frets poor Johnnie is that be is not
making enough to support the fair
one. I am satisfied that Johnnie
Brown has not been in j. E. Green's
field since the grass came to see him.
The order of the day in Salem is in
the tobacco farms.
Mr.. Leighton DuBose is very i'll.
We hope to see him up again soon.

DON'T SPEAK UNTIL SPOKEN
TO, OLD Sis!

The News and Courier editorially
said in it's issue last Monday, "We
could not advise anyone to vote for
Mckinley, because of his platform
and the party which he represents
we cannot urge Democrats to vote for
Bryan when we urged them to vote
against Weaver"
Just what the News and Courier
would advise is a question that the
people all over the State are standing
on tip-toe to ask to be sure; and Of
course they will not act in the prem
ises until the old lady Of Broad
Street issues forth her dictum. The
News and Courier is powerful vote
maker in its editorial room, but out
side of that sanctum its plant for
manufacturing votes is not sufficient,
and the machinery is eaten up with
rust. Any little weekly in South
Carolina has a greater political in
fuence than the News and Courier,
and while the paper is meritoriously
popular as a newspaper, it is the
news service and not the political
editorial utterances that makes it SO.
Itis therefore useless for the editor
of that paper to advise anything on
the political situation. The people
outside of the News and Courier
building and the Offices of the factors
and bankers which are interested in
her financial management will get
along very easily without any advice
from that quarter. We base ou,
Judgment from the great inauence(?)
that paper has welded in the past
six years. Outside of Charleston We
venture it cannot control a single
township in the State on political
issue, and in Charleston it dares moi
oppose the wishes Of the politicians
in control.
4 newspaper thus politically stu
ated should not attempt to give ad'
vice on political matters, but if we
may be pardoned for the suggestion
it should devote its entire life to ad'
vising the people how to ''cook pork
and beans and molasses together" ;"
