The Farmers Friend.

Lancaster has the best cotton
market in the State. Cotton is
bringing almost as much in this
market as it sells for in New
York. Farmers in adjacent coun-
ties are marketing their cotton
here. Why! Becaus, they get
more than it is really worth. The
Farmers Banking and Mercantile
Company claim the credit, and
they are due the praise for this.
Read their new adj. in this issue
and show your appreciation of
their efforts in your behalf by
giving them a lioeral share of
your custom. Encourage them
and it will stimulate them to even
greater efforts.

was always u successful farmer.
He leaves surviving him his aged
wife, and three children, Messrs.
Nj. H., and II. NJ. johnson, and
Mrs. w. T. Gregory, and many

DISEASE CHEATS THE GAL
LOWS.
Death OF Convicted Prisoner in
Laurens. The Crime.

Laurens, Sept %. John John
son, colored, the murderer of
Dan johnson, also colorcd, is now
no more. Last night about 3
O'Clock his soul wended its way
from his dark, dismal dungeon.
The gallcws has been, therefore,
cheated, and that only three days
before it would have claimed him
rs its victim. His death was the
result of fever contracted some
weeks ago. A resume of the
crime whereof he stood convicted
and the events since his trial will
be of interest.
Something over two years ago
John johnson killed his fellow
citizen, Dan johnson, over few
cents in change that he alleged
Dan owed him for the use of a
box of backing that belonged to
him (John Johnson.) Both ne
groes were employed at the
Clinton hotel, near which the
crime was committed. One was
porter, the other assistant in the
hotel barber shop.
John johnson wanted Dan to
settle for the use of his blacking
in money. Dan would not agree
to such u proposition, but he pro-
posed, in lieu thereof, to replace
that which he had used with an
equal amount of the same article.
One word brought on another till
each had exhausted his vocabular,
of expletives but no settlement
came. Dan, saying that he did
not want to have any trouble,
walked away. But by this time
John was somewhat enraged, and,
rushing into barber shop, he
picked up q razor and set out on
his bloody mission.
He soon came up with Dan,
and without any words cut his
throat from ear to ear. The town
marshal arrived on the scene and
arrested John. Thi was the be-
ginning of his Imprisonment,
which his disease terminated this
morning.
His case was tried at the next
term of court of general sessions,
and he was convicted and SEN
fenced to he banged. His attor-
neys, Ferguson and Featherstone,
carried the case to the supreme
court, which sustained the decision
of the lower court. Accordingly,
he was sentenced at the next term
of the court Of sessions.
I In the meanwhile, several pc
titions were presented to the Coy
ernor praying for life imprison-
ment, signed by eight of the iu-
iors that sat on his case and the
leading prosecuting witnesses.
Governor Ellerbe, therefore,
granted him respite in order to
have time to consider these pc
titions.
He was to have been hanged
this morning, but by his death
the Sallows is cheated.

Try the Market

The easiest way in the world
for a farmer to ruin his cotton
market is tn sell to the buyer who
cuts his cotton without trying the
market. Always try the market.
Other buyers think then you are
not trying to run them out. Give
every one an equal showing The
buyer always appreciates this and
will help you if he can.

FOR DECENT POLITICS

One need not go thousand miles from
the center Of the city-indeed, one need
not go a single mile-to come in contact
with hundreds, and, perhaps, thousands
of thoroughly representative citizens
who are ready and anxious to labor in
behalf of Democratic principles, pro-
vided they are given an opportunity to be
associated with respectable men who
pursue clean methods. Therefore, 1t Is
not only a matter Of principle. but Of
policy as well, that the push elements.
who have for several years prostituted
the good name of the Democratic party,
should be driven to the rear. Persons
claiming to be Democrats, with no repu-
table standing in the community. have
forced themselves into the conventions,
state and county, simply for the purpose
Of doing dirty work for any person or
corporation that might elect to employ
them. They take orders all the time
from the Southern Pacific corporation.
They take orders whenever opportunity
is presented from the Republican organ
ization, and from Republican individu-
ais, and, as hired marplots within, do
infinitely more harm than if they were
battling against Democracy at the front.
But, in this year of grace, the represent
tative Democrats of Los Angeles coun-
ty are neither asleep nor quiescent, and,
If The Herald is not greatly mistaken,
the half hundred members of the push,
who are laying claim to so much. will be
completely overwhelmed. Between the
Republican push and the Democratic
push there is practically no difference.
Both, according to homely California
phrase, are "out for the stuff" and moth
ing else. Like the deadly upas tree, "the
push" in course of time, will paralyze
every element with which it comes in
contact.

without It's influence in determining the
United States to intervene. That was
the sordid and the mercenary consider
ation-the unwritten and unvoiced, yet
insistent, covetousness of
a large element of the population Of the
United States-the ambition for terri
torial acquisition, colonization and COM
mercial expansion. How really potent
factor this was is today accentuated by
the hold which it has taken upon the
people, wholly independent Of the de-
clared objects of the government at the
beginning of the war. and at the ex-
pense of the prestige we hoped to earn
by waging costly war solely in the in
terest of humanity. The growth Of the
imperialistic sentiment, the practical
unanimity with which the people of this
country have assented to the doctrine
of keeping all we've got" robs us of the
credit which we coveted at the outset,
for the sincerity Of our disclaimer Of
aggrandizing ambition cannot be &C.
cepted in the face of the almost universal
demand that we wrest from Spain all Of
her insular possessions of value, and hold
them as our own.
With recognition of the genuineness
of the noble inspirations that charac-
terized many of our people at the be-
ginning, and that still controls and d.
reefs them, we may question whether it
is worth while to longer attempt to &C.
cupy false position as a nation, wheth-
er it is not wiser and more honest for
US to admit that other considerations
than the liberation Of an enslaved people
have Influenced US to attempt the ex-
pulsion of the Spaniard from the west
ern hemisphere. 1t is certain that a
strict adherence to our original declara-
ton of purpose will leave US as nation
not much better of than we were be-
fore. Spain in Porto Rico will be as
great a menace to our future peace as
Spain in Cuba. And the people Of the
latter island would seem to have as
binding a claim upon our sympathy and
aid to freedom as have those Of Cuba.
Spain in the Philippines, Spain in the
Carolines, Spain in the Balearics and
Spain in the Ladrones, is far differ
ent proposition. Spain in the West In
dies has become an impossible incident.
In expelling her from our immediate
frontier we may find abundant justifica-
ton. We may go further at our peril.
