THE COTTON MILL.
The Machinery Coming In Every Day
The Wheels Soon to Turn.

Large quantities, of machinery have al
ready arrived at the Cotton Mill, and notice
has been received that other machinery has
been shipped. The work or putting up The
machinery will go on at lively rate from
now until everything is in place.
Last Thursday Mr.. Green, the architect,
came TO Abbeville to see the mill. He went
through it from top to bottom. and gave ey.
erything a careful inspection. After which
he expressed himself as much pleased. Dur
ing his stay In Abbeville he was thegueSt OF
President Bailey. He is good friend of Pres
ident Bailey, and 1t is partly to his kindly or
fees that MIR. Bailey is indebted for his sue
cess In finding Northern money. 1t Will be
noticed that Mr.. Bailey diu not 60 to the Wild
and woolly west for money. He didn't go to
the states where they want cheap money, but
he went to Boston, where gold Is In high es-
TEEN.
While he was here MIR. Green assured Presi-
dent Bailey that the mill was on solid basis !;
that he would get the needed money; anu
that the latest and best machinery would III
sure a profitable return to the investors.
The best and most perfect system OF water
works Is being put in the mill, and crystal
Lake will furnish the wafer to eXtlngulsn an

Greenwood, s. c., March 10, 1897.
Yesterday was the day for the Arst primary
election in Greenwood county. A large vote
was polled-much larger than was expected
by any. One noticeable thing about the elec-
men came to the polls with their tickets
already made out and did their own
voting. This Is a healthy sign for the new
county. We have debated often In our minds
whether primary elections were a good
thing when few men at each box did all the
voting. In Greenwood county yesterday the
election was not this way.however, every man
voted for the candidates OF his choice. so far
as heard the result Of the election is as fol.
lows: c. A. c. Waller defeated d. II. Magill
for State Senator; Tom Turner has heen
elected Clerk Of Court over Pony" Ieidell by
filled by men to be determined by a second
primary. Dr. j. A. Marshall and j. l.. Carr
will be in the second race for Treasurer; W.
K. Cothran and j. G. Moore for Probate Judge;
missioner; ]. NJ. MaJor and w. H. Whitlock
for Supervisor; Bill Mckinney and r. +. Nc
Caslan for Sheriff; and 7. 4: Graham and +.
w. Sullivan for Auditor. We know nothing
OF the chances Of the respective candidates
but we can safely say that Greenwood county
will have more than an ordinary set OF men
In office whoever may be the successful con-
teRtants.
The Executive Committee of the Stale
Teachers Association met in Greenwood on
last Saturday. Among those present were
President Craighead. OF Clemson, Prof. Pat.
terson Wardlaw, of Columbia, pr. =. Lander
OF Williamson, and Prof. J. w. Thompson,
of Rock Hill, formerly OF Abbeville. No place
has yet been selected for the meeting OF the
Association this summer. Why not meet in
Greenwood?
Miss Mary Blake, OF Ninety-Six, was mar
rIed last week TO Mr.. William Stewart at Ira,
S. c. They passed through Greenwood the
following day Ell route for her home.
Hon. W p. Wdeman will deliver his now

We will of course have electric lights In a

The Planting Of Cotton.

AS has been the custom at this season VI
the year, the newspapers, and the perenniaiiy
wise men of the cities are volunteering 10
give advice to the farmers, as to the amount
of cotton which they should plant. The ad'
vice 70 reduce the acreage is good enough for
the farmers OF Texas, but the Press and Ban
ner hopes to see none OF It's suoscrioerS Ah'
Ing such jackassable advice.
There are no two farms that are exactly
alike, and there are no two farmers whose
conditions are exactly the same.
Farmers who may need cash next Fall will
likely experience great difficulty IN getting
the money, II they have no cotton. Ihe lac<
is, the Press and Banner does not see no"
money is to be made on the farm, except by
raising cotton.
This newspaper makes II rule never 10
give advice 10 anybody, but we sometimes
express our opinion when practical measures
are discussed. Instead of reducing the acre
age we would conduct the acreage, as ioiio"*
/. Plant a full crop Of cotton.
2. Make liberal effort to establish the best
pasture possible.
8. Have the desired or needed numoer o'
milk cattle.
4. Plant corn enough to supply all demands
OF the farm.
5. II conditions suited, fair crop OF oats
would be sown.
8. Barley would be sown.
I. Turnlps, collards, cabbage. irish potatoes,
sweet potatoes would not be neglected.
The production OF these crops need not
seriously affect, or reduce, the cotton crop.
And these crops, supplemented by fowls,
beef cattle, and the milk and butter that
could be had from the milk COWS would tend
TO reduce the outlay IN making the cotton
crop, to a point much below that to which
farmer must 90, If he has to quit his place Oh
business once or twice a month to get his sup
plies out Of the stores at big prices. Corn can
be raised on many of the farms for less than
the expense OF hauling 1t from town. even II
II was furnished free Of charge.
Plant cotton, and plant large crop. Let
the Texas fools reduce their crop, but let
South Carolina farmers raise the biggest crop
at the least expense.

pens. From Cowpens he will go TO Abbeville,
where he has accepted the. position as over
seer in Abbeville mills.-Piedmont Sun.
The above statement may or may not be
correct In other matters, but MIR. Crawford has
accepted nothing from the Abbeville> Cotton
Mill. It is barely possible that Mr.. Craw ford
on application has secured place IN the Alb
beyille Cotton Mill. 1t is quite certain that
the Abbeville Cotton Mill has offered Mr.
Crawford nothing, and therefore he could not
accept what was not ofiered-but he has no
doubt secured place.

At Clemson.

Governor Ellerbe. Hon. ]. E. Bradley and
other members of the Board OF Trustees met
at Clemson College last week. AS far as we
could learn. everything is moving on nicely
at the farmers college. President Craighead
Is supported by an able faculty.
On his way home Governor Ellerbe had
talk with Captain Billy Smith, the Oldest and
most polite railroad conductor on the Ameri-
can continent. The subject talked OF was the
dispensary. Captain Billy is an enthusiastic
believer In the law, and put in good word
for IL to the Governor.

Governor ElIerbe.

Governor Ellerbe is developing considera-
BILE backbone. and his flrmness In omcial
acts is truly disappointing TO those who may
have thought him to be weak ling. He Is
not a talker. He may be set down as silent
man; but when it comes TO plumbing the
line of his official action there is no swerving
from the path of duty.

An effort is being made in the
legislature this winter to reduce
freight and passenger rates. The
same question was before the
Illinois legislature and did not
pass, nor should it pass in this
state or any other state, as tariffs
have now been reduced to a min
imum and the wages of employees
have felt the affect. Every time
a railroad company's earnings are
reduced by Legislation the salary
of employees is reduced. and they
are barely receiving living wages
now, further, they are required to
work every day in the year and
a reduction in rates means a re-
duction in salaries, or force, and
causes a hardship among the Ia
boring class.
I A committee on salaries has
been appointed, of which Mr.. Shell
is one, with a view of reducing
salaries, principally among coun-
ty. officers. A measure Of this
nature will meet with general ap-
proval,yet it should commence
with the legislators themselves,
but some Of them have already
gone on record as being opposed
to reduction. There is prob
abl y not a county officer in the
state, that is receiving too large a
salary, nor do we believe there are
many tax-payers,that object TO the
salaries now paid,b but those re-
ceiving enormous salaries at the
expense Of the state can well
stand reduction in keeping with
the times.QEvery commodity has
decreased,,..in in value and every la.
boring man is receiving very
low rate Of compensation and
there is::s. no reason why salaried
officers should not be given a re.
duction. The legislators will be
carefully watched on this ques.
tion and their constituents viii
have cause to refer to the matter
at a future time. *
Besides1this, railroad companies
have operated under very grea'
loss during the past few years
number Of them have gone into

The election of HoA. John G.
Spooner to succeed Senator Villas, of
Wis.,, whose term expires March 3,
brought a great deal of pleasure to
Washington, both in and out of Con-
gress, and it must have given equal
pleasure in Wisconsin. Col. John
Hicks, of Oshkosh, who was U. S.
Minister to Peru under the Harrison
administration, and who is now in
Washington said: "It is remarkable
what a unanimity of opinion there
was in the party for Spooner's return
to the Senate. When it was known
that the republicans had control of
the Legislature scarcely another name
was mentioned, and in the caucus lis
out of the 119 members voted for
him. He made most satisfactory
Senator before and the party is anx-
ious to keep him in the Senate. y
