for the cause OF "White mans rule"
Wherever be went be was received
with great enthusiasm, and at every
point he was escorted by crowds of
'sred shirts" At Red Springs and at
Fayetteville over one thousand men
at each of these place, dressed in the
old 1876 South Carolina campaign
uniform met and escorted the great
Commoner. The newspapers Of
North Carolina are loud in their prais-
es of the Senator's speeches and re-
port that his rugged style OF oratory
has made a lasting impression. They
all speak with confidence that the old
North State will be redeemed from
the populi-Africo domination. The
political situation in Eastern North
Carolina is very grave, and a general
conflict between the races is immi-
nent. Already there has been trou-
bic in some parts of the State, and
nnless there is turn for the better

the case, with the present prices OF
cotton the merchants are not going to
risk their money and credit.
If the old law giving the landlord
one third of the crop was now IN op-
GRAFTON, the merchant would stand
some chance of getting back some OF
his money advanced, but as it's now,
:he merchant puts out his money
with all the chances against him, even
if the party advanced to is ever so
honest-the rent must be first paid
and it takes good farming at 4 IL
cents cotton to pay it, leaving moth
icg for the food debt contracted to
make the crop.
Every year there isa hue and cry
against the lien law; people cry out
for its repeal, and they lay much
stress upon the hardshlps the lien
law is making. We would ask so@e
of those who are joining in this cGy
TO examine the books of the mer-
chants who have furnished food,
rsiment and fertilizers on liens this
year, and see whether the hardships
complained of has been inflicted by
bv the merchant or the landlord. 4
man forced to rent land is at the
mercy OF the land owner who can
charge what he plesses, and his pay
is sure If the land prodcces it, that
man is honest and will pay his debts
if he has anything to pay with; he
obtains credit from a merchant and
secures the necessary supplies to
make the crop, the merchant who
furnished him with the necessaries
of life has no possible redress if the
crop is consumed by the rent There
should be some plan to arrange an
equitable division, and unless there
is, We predict great deal of suffer
ing next year.

The more we watch the operation
of the dispensary law the more con-
vincing is it to US that for inland or
country towns it is the best possible
way to regulate the liquor traffic, but
with the Intellectual efforts Of the Off
GERS of the law in large cities to stop
the illicit sale of the stuff, we have
about come to the conclusion that
some notifications to the law will
have to be made: just what, we are
not prepared to say. To grant IL
censes to sell under dispensary re-
strictions in cities and not in the
smaller towns would be a discrinina-
ton to cause trouble, and to let the
law be violated as it is being done IN
Charleston and Columbia almost
openly, is bringing it into disrepute.
We hope some Of the legislators will
find solution at the next meeting OF
the General Assembly and offer some
amendment that will take the liquor
problem out of our politics.
In the recent primary the main is
sue before the people was the liquor
traffic, and although those opposed to
the sale of liquor only polled about
$4,000 votes when the question had a
fair test, yet in the second primary

ties, disgruntled politicians and op-
position to the administration COM
bined, run the vote up over the
10000 notch. The dispensary won
Notwithstanding tie combination, but
unless there can be more strict en-
forcement OF the law in the cities the
people will demand such changes as
will give better results.

4 Handsome Endorsement.
Anderson, S. c., Oct. Is, 1898.

Anderson, S. c., Oct. Is, 1898.
Col. ". A. Neal OF this county will
be a candidate at sthe next General
Assembly for reelection as Superin-
tendent of the Pepitentiary.
The undersis ned, nominees for the
Senate and House from Anderson,
having known Col. Neal we'll for
many years, desire to give expression
to our estimate of his worth as pub
lie official. He is peculiarly fitted
and qualified for the position he
holds. His record, to the unpreju-
diced, is the best evidence IN his IA
vor. The penitcntiary, under bis ad-
ministration, has been brought up
to a high standard of excellence,
never before attained. The con7icts
under his care are properly provided
for. and humane system has been
inaugurated by Col. Neal which now
insures reliable source OF revenue
to the State. So, today the Southt
Carolina penitentiary occupies front
rank among the penal institutions OF
the country.
Col. Neal, We think, may we'll ask
for reelection. His faithful and in
telligent services to the State merit
reward and encouragement. We can
testify to bis capacity and peculiar
fitness for the work he has under
taken. He is practical and energetic
"a man Of sound idens-with the
spirit of "push" necessary to success.
The friends OF Col. Neal are aware
that no man of his energetic and pro-
gressive spirit can avoid making ene-
mics, political or otherwise, but we
trust, with the States best interest at
heart, those who are to select our
public servants will not be swayed by
passion or prejudice.
We therefore take this method OF
commending Col. Neal and his admir-
able record to your consideration.

Nominee for the Senate.

The Representatives OF Anderson
County have sent out circular let
ter asking support for the reelection
of Colonel ". A. Neal as superinten-
dent of the State penitentiary. Such
an endorsement from his home coun-
ty is indeed very Aattering to any
man seeking public favor, but there
is still great endorsement OF Colonel
Meals ability and fitness for the posi-
tion-within the wall Of the State pri-
son, on the farms, in his Office, at the
banks and where his business judg-
ment comes in contact. Col. ". A
Neal holds a position that requires
special fitness to fill; at that instltu-
ton clever politician with find moth
ing to employ his mind, It is no asy-
lum for broken heeler, nor is 1t Il
place to be bertered for political fa-
vor. It is however, q place where
the best business judgment is requlr-
ed, it is place where is needed q
disiplinarian and a humane man, and
it is place where there must be strict
integrity or the people at large will
suffer. In Colonel ". A. Neal the
State has man whose business abil-
ity is unquestioned, in him humanity
is strong characteristic and discl-
pline one of the features OF bis sue
cessful administrations. His accurate
accounts and his balance sheets show
ing in detail the income and disburse'
ments of his charge, shows en- unb!em'
isbed integrity, and his courtesy make
him peculiarly fitted for the high trust
he holds. Without hesitation do We
ioin in Anderson County's endorse
ment and express the hope that Col
Meals merit be so recognized and
appreciated that he will be elected
Overwhelmingly on the first ballot.

RENTS TOO HIGH.

The conditions brought about by
the low price of farm products vii!
have tendency to revolutlonize the
farming system, not only with the
land owners and therenters, but with
the merchants also. It does not take
much study to see that the owners OF
lands will not be able TO continue de-
manding the present rental rates;
there must be concessions made, or
the county will become paralyzed.
How can merchants supply renters
when it takes all the money crop to
pay the rent? II there is not some
thing done the thing will resolve it
self into the merchants Withholding
their advances, and the land owner
will be forced to furnish the tenant
his supplies.
Very few landowners are aole 10
make advances and, such will be fore
ed to sign releases, in order to get
their tenants supplied with the neces-
sites to make the next crop. Already
the matter is being seriously consid-
cred by land owners who see that
something must be done for the COM
ing year. It would be good idea to
have meetings in every community
and agree to reduce the price OF rent
commensurate with the price OF farm
products on the Give and let live prln-
ciple." The law gives the landlord
every advantage and as long asthis is

them down to the Black I'D lniulstra-

Welt was first nominated it was con-

way now and Dick Crocker who is a

that Van Nyck will carry the Demo
