ARCHER FOR GOVERNOR.

State Senator Z L Archer, Of
Sparanburg, in card published
last Thursday announced his can
didacy for the Governorship.
Senator ;Arthei~rlafiorms. in
short, economy, industry. ednca-
ton and temperance. In regard
10 the latter his card says: 81 am
in favor of the dispensary as ii
now stands until the people de-
eide otherwise; then I shall sup
port prohibition with a provision
attached that those towns or
counties which prefer prohibition
shall pay tor its enforcement in
their borders"
Senator Archer is said 10 be a
-6sn OF rare talents and unusual
ability. He is a good senator,
and has always been very sue
,cessfal from a business standpoint
10 private life. He will no doubt
make the coming race for Cover
nor an exciting and interesting
one. With both senator Archer
. aud ex-senator Watson to fieh,
Governor Ellerbe's chances seem
TO be very slim. However there
Is, no telling what the future will
develop, and no one knows who
else will be in the race. The
primary election is yet seven
months off. and no one can pos
sibly foretell the result oft.

about We do not know, but the

cannot depend upon the support

struc,iocs to the Cuban and Porto
Ricau military commissions were drawn
up aud approved by the President be-
fore be left Washington. The ;nstruc-
tions will not be made public, but
the general terms are knoWa to
be the same as the Instructions sent to
Gen. Shafter regarding the govern
meut of Santiago, and to Gen. Mer-
rits regarding the Philippines. This
will mean that the military commission
will take charge OF Cuba and Porto
Rico the same as the military governor
now controls that portion of Cuba sar
rendered to the United States after the
Santiago campaign.
The many minor details relative
to the evacuation Of the islands are
left to the commissioners, who will re
port any difficult or disputed points to
Washington.
There never has been doubt that the
United States aill take full control OF
Porto Rico, but the instructions TO the
Juban military commission settles aoy
question regarding that island and
means for the present at least the
Uoited States will assume the govern
ment ana control Of the remainder Of

COTTON GROWERS
STATE CONVENTION.
Every County Should Organ

The following important call "so the
cotton growers Of South Carolina" was
issued yesterday:
have been requested to call meet
ing of the cotton growers to meet in
Columbia. S. c.. on Tuesday, Septem-
Der 20, 1898.
1t is requested that every county 10
this State send delegates to this con-
vention.
The country organization 10 each
county is requested to meet and elect
delegates. Where it is impracticable
to call mass meeting, the county
presidents are requested to see to it
that delegation comes to the State
convention. Where there is 20 organl-
zatioo those interested are most ear
nes:iy requested to co operate With
the clerk of court of said county, the
clerks being hereby requested to inter.
est themselves, at least TO the extent Of
seeiog that their counties are represent
ed
This meeting will take steps that
will be Of iuestimable benefit to every
cotton grower 10 this State.
The Hou. Hector D. Lane having
died, bis successor has been uamed. by
election Of Col. Maxwell of Louisiana
to 6li said Office.
At conference 10 Memphis, COM
mittee from each State was appointed to
negotiate for money, whereby liens on
the present crop could be taken up and
the bulk of the crop of this year held
off for 60 or 80 days, aod perhaps
longer; which. it is hoped, will force
present prices up.
TIE big crop that is now predicted is
liable to depress present prices. The
producer has the key to the situation
if he can be induced to act as unit.
Send delegates from every community
and let them DISCUSS plans in couOty
convention for this crop, also for the
next crop. and send county recon med
asious to the State convection.
Every daily aud weekly newspaper
10 this State is respectfully requested
to give publicity to this call. and to
assist the cotton growers 10 this under
taking.
The importance of doing something
to relieve the present depressed price
is urged as the reason for calling the
convention at so early dste. Let
every cotton grower interest himself
enough to see thss bis section is repre-
seoted.
