In a speech delivered recently at Rome
City, Ind, Gov. Mount said: ''The farm
ers have a right to demand that the gov
ernmant at least cooperate with them in
securing better mail facilities for the
country. The farmer OF the twentieth
century must be a man of the broadcast
mind, Of the highest development. The
farmers home must be supplied with
books, papers and magazines. He must
keep in touch with the Intellectual, So
cial md business world. To secure the
advantages of daily mail, good roads will
be a necessity. With good thorough
fares to insure speedy transit, then, by
the cooperation Of the farmers and the
government, arrangements can be made
fer the deposit by the postman of the
farmers mail in q box opposite his home.
Good roads and daily mails to the farmer
ofthe coming years will be indispensable
to the highest success, socially, financial
~ and intellectually" These views, we
know, will be endorsed by every pro-
gressive farmer in the United States, and
especially in the South and West, where
better roads aud mail facilities are need
ed. With good roads throughout the
country, better mail facilities for the
farmer will follow. The money spentto
day on the public roads in Anderson
County could not be better invested, and
the amount should be increased every
Gear.

H. M. Neill, the well known cotton sta
tistician OF New Orleans, has issued q cir
cular on the growing crop. After refer
ring to the question of estimates made in
July, 1894, Of The crop of the season, he
says: sat this moment for this year the
PROMISES equal to any previous year in
every State but Texas, and on the present
acreage, sven allowing that Texas should
fall short of her maximum production
per acre by 1000, 900, the outlook now is
for a crop Of OF least nine and three-quar-
ter millions, with five hundred thousand
to n million more within the range Of
possibilities. This figure of nine and
thrae-quarter millions is really very con-
s~ervative, for a product per acre outside
of Texas equal to ls04-95 would give T.
$50, 900 bales and y maximum for Texas
would BIS 3,65O,OOO bales from which, al
lowing 1,0oO,0 600 off, you would have a
crop of $780, 900 bales. The crop is now
30 far advanced from recent rains and
heat that it will reach maturity and be
independent Of frost at m unusually
early date. Should we soon have good
rains in Texas her crop also would be
near perfection and the possibilities for
total crop would then be something enor-
mous.n

much criticised by extremists on both
sides of the money question. It's money
plank called for bi-metallism, but said
nothing about the ratio, and the Atlanta
Journal asks If it is not a good basis for q
reunited party? It is; audif it's desired
to reunite the Democratic party, the Mary
land example will be generally followed;
but if arrogance, intolerance and pride OF
opinion are to govern the party, being
preferred to a reasonable concession
which will bring success, then the ex-
treme ground will he taken again with
the certainty Of losing oil the East, along
with Maryland, West Virginia, Indiana,

Whit the Seizure Of Liquor at Ander.
son Means.

COLUMBIA, August 13.-The "original
are watching each other very closely. It
now seems to be an interesting and eau
tious game. The State, on the inc hand,
seems inclined to take advantage Of every
little omission on the part Of tho "original
PACKAGE dealers, and there Is nothing
for the "dealers" to do but 10 comply
strictly with the law. 1t would be eI-
tremely foolish for those selling liquor In
opposition to the State to try and make
laws for themselves, for the State is keep
ing a close and careful watch on the deal
ers to see whether they are allowing any
liquor to bs consumed on the premises,
to keep them from selling by the drink,
and that they close at sunset. There is
no use for The "dealers'' to try and get
around these features of the law, for II
they do they are sure to get into trouble,
2nd are more Than likely to lose the stock
OF goods they hold. 1t seems to be also
very necessary for the fact to be establish
ed that the liquor ia not property Of the
dealer in this State, but that be Is acting
for some nonresident Of the State, and
that his interest in it is only as agent.
The State authorities, 1t appears, intend
to hold IN to the stock of goods shipped
to J. A. f. Hutchins, of Anderson, as
agent for M. Ferst's Sons & Co., Of Sa-
vannah. 1t is not exactly clear what
ground is taken by the State in this action,
except that Mr.. Hutchins Is more than
the agent for Ferst's Sons. Governor Ell
lerbe to-day, in talking about the matter,
said that he was not taking advantage of
technicalities, but that he was going to
make the dealers stand to the letter Of the
law and the decisions of Judge 5imonton.
The slightest evasion of either on the part
Of the dealers would be used against
them, but it was not the intention Of the
State to take advantage Of technicalities.
He said, however, that he was not going
to give away the States case before the
trial actually occurred.
It appears that Ferst's Sons & Co. ship.
ped their liquors in small paper cartoons,
each bottle to itself, and then these pack
ages were packed in straw in q car.
The seizure Of the liquor at Anderson
has had The effect Of making the foreign
firms 90 slow about the establishment OF
agencies in the State, and those that are
being established are being carefully pro-
tected by strict compliance with the terms
of the DECISIONS. There are new agencies
in practically all of the larger towns Of
the State, and il the d%ispensary is doing
tho business that it always has done it
simply means that the consumption OF
liquor Is larger than it has over been, for
the "original package people" and the
d~ispensaries cannot both do business
without the n hurting the other unless
the consumption Of liquor be greater than
ever.-NcWs and Courier.
