The Anderson In.elligencer came to us
last week as an eight page paper, seven
columns TO the page. The paper is great
ly improved, much enlarged, and is now
one Of the handsomest weeklies in the
State. Long may it prosper and shed its
light and influence over the good people

The Anderson Intelligencer is now an
eight page paper, seven columns to the
page. The paper is greatly improved,
much enlarged, and Is now, one of the
best weeklies in the State. Long may it
prosper and shed Its light and influence
over the good people Of Anderson Coun-
ty.-Picke1,S Sentinel.
The Anderson Intelligencer has always
been first class newspaper, but as it
now appears in its inew form Of eight
pages it is far better than ever. May
the progressive editors and p1oprietor',
Messrs. Clinkscales d Langston, con-
tinue to prosper.-Hampton Guardian.
The Anderson Intelligencer has been
changed to an eight page paper. The In
telligencer has always been an excellent
paper, but it is now larger and better
than ever before, which is saying good
deal.-LauTensUilte Herald.
The Anderson Intelligencer comes out

It was formerly blanket sheet. The In

in new aud improved form last week,
showing the spirit of enterprise possessed
by Messrs. Clinkscales & Langston. The
Intelligencer is already one of the best
papers spublished in the State and it's
change will make it all the more popu-
lar.-KingSt1ee Record.
Our home paper, the Anderson IS. CO.
Intelligencer, came to US last week in
new dress. It had been a nine column,
four page paper. Now it contains eight
pages of seven columns each. We con-
gratulate the owners. Long may the In
telligencer continue as the champion of
the peoples rights. It is the best County
paper we've ever seen.-SeUier County
(Ark.) Democrat.
Last week the Anderson 1ntelligencer
came out as an eight page paper.-seven
columns to the page. All home print.
The Inteliigencer has always stood high,
and its management has been excellent.
1t does fine business. The circulation
is greater than that of any other country
paper, and its advertising patronage is
enough to make the prOprietor5 rich.
The Intelligencer is conservative in it's
business mapagement-slow to take a
step forward-but when it does take a
step it never recraces. For instance: 1t
was one Of the first of the country papers
to use cylinder press; it was, perhaps,
the first to use steam; it now uses cleo
tricity to run the press and to light the
office. The Intelligencer is one of the
very best newspapers of which we have
any acquaintance. The editor lacks one
thing, however, and that is q wife. We
put him on notice that we will not associ-
ate with bachelors after the first of Janu-
ary. So if he doesn't get married he may
lose friend.-Abbcuilte Press and Ban.

The iarmsss are nearly all through
gathering their crops. The short cotton
crop has nearly all been picked out and
the most of it sold. Some few are hold
ing for higher prices. Almost all OF the
farmers have come to the conclusion that
there is no money in cotton only as sur
plus crop, therefore they are sowing oats
and preparing to sow wheat on larger
scale.

Here is piece of advice from the
Greenville ews 10 farmers:
A number of our contempora-
ries are gravely debating the que>-
tion of selling or holding cotton.
1t is subject that they know
nothing about. No newspaper
ever knows when 1t is judiciDus 10
sell cotton and when it is more
profitable to hold it.
The man who markets his cotton
as quickly as he can after he gets
it out of the field and ginned saves
insurance and interest. The man
who holds his cotton speculates.
Speculation isSalways costly As
a general rule it is the part Of com
mon sense for farmer to convert
his cotton into cash as soon as
practicable. What cotton will be
worth a few months hence is guess
work.

Governor Ellerbe has issued a

Charleston. Today is the last
day of the infiction upon the city

consequence.
We believe that Gov. Ellerbe's
decision in the matter will meet
with the approval of all good
men throughout the State. The
metropolitan police did not en-
force th. law in Charleston any
better than the regular city police,
and the council was without any
authority whatever. We repeat
II: Governor Ellerbe's action in
3he matter, though tardy, will
meet with the approval of all good
men throughout the State.
