We have had plenty OF 3reir ssihinIR
showers for the past week and tho farm
ers have not done much on their ferns.
The woods are putting on their coat of
green and the songs Of tho birds all say
that beautiful spring is here.
The farmers are In q rush, to plant their
corn and cotton. Some say they don't
know what to do about planting 10 much
cotton, for If tho war comes it won't 10
worth anything, but corn would bring u
good price. We'll. we want to toll them
that corn is tho best crop, war or no war.
Cotton wont pay for oultivatingit. Now,
my advice is to plant plenty Of feed crops
and make as little nyo cents cotton as
possible.
Small grain is looking the best we have
ever seen for tho time of tho year. We
hopo for q good crop.

suggested Abolition Of the PRIMARY.

EEHNsNTSEIlgfa1A
This Is election year and candidates
arc hehhsng Up Cor aoTernor, hero and
thero, all over tho State. Some arc good
and others are better rex. Tho paop.;,
are not SO much for mon this time as for
measures. it is evident to tho politicians
that thoSs is discomfort among tho
masses. How to paoify things is an
enigma. They cannot make their calcu-
lations and figure out what tho result
will DO.
1t is hinted that q sGhomo was devised
N q caucus of politicians at Columbia,
during tho last session of tho Legislature,
to go back to tho convention plan of
nominating State officers. This would
DO q worry unwiso stop, and should tho
plan succeed, wo predict that thore would
DO q general rebellion among Democratic
Votors oil ovor tho State. There is 10
fairer way OF SOLICITING candidates, than
by a general primary, whore evory votor
has tho right to express his choice
among candidates, ut the ballot box. In
dood, tho primary plan has giyon better
satisfaction than any over tried, and for
this reason, wo trust that tho Democratic
votors will SEQ to it that this stop back
ward DO not takon.
Thoro Is now q widespread dissatis-
faction among tho masses, and to under
take to nominate officers By convention
would, in our opinion, produce serious
results liz the STATIC. We have hereto
fore found tho people Mt each election
trusting to tho political speeches of can
didates and looking for somo reduction
in thoir taxes. The promised reduction
has not boon realized and they feel that
thoy have boon fooled and imposed upon.
Instead of tho expenses of tho govern
ment growing less, thoy have steadily in
creased until tho people havo become very
restless. Tho time has como for ccono-
MIXING in governmental expenditures,
the cutting off Of every Office not abso-
lutcly necessary to tho public good and
tho reduction of all salaries to a mini
mum. This tho pooplo demand and they
ought to have it. Nothing loss will sat-
isfy thom.
Tho dispensary, prohibition and local
option ought to DO discussed, but tho
thing noodful is tho dcvising of somo
plan to onablo c~itizons to make a liveli-
hood, to pay their taxes and have a littlo,
at least, loft. This is n reasonable de-
mand and II that is certain to DO mot
by tho politicians this yoar.

Tax Reduction Idea in tho Campaign.

The Yorkvillo Yeoman gets after can
didato George Tillman in tho following
pointed style:
"Hon. George d. Tillman is going to
run for Governor. His platform ON
braces tho usual tax reduction chestnut.
Taxes arc too high, but we want tho noxt
candidate for Governor who proposes to
reduce taxes to toll us by what means he
is going to do it before ho gets our vote.
In late years tho Governors in this State
havo not boon fixing tho tax lovy.
We arc not 10 advocating any special
candidate for Governor, but VIC venture
tho prediction that If Unclo George de-
visos any plan for q reduction Of taxes,
and car convince tho voters of is earn
ostnoss in the matter, he will ako tho
man who beats him hump in tho cam
paign. Any of tho candidates could, if
elected, put n check on tho increase in
public expenses, oven though no could
no. reduce the present rate of taxation.

that Il nearer and better route car be had
to Walhalla, S. c, with better railroad
connections with tho through lines, and
cheaper rates of frcights;
"And whereas, SAID company is anx-
ious to open up tho route to Walhalla
and mako this their shipping point, and

expended from tho public road fund of
Oconcc County OH this road"
The building Of this road will be Of

The foregoing resolutions express in
opitomo the facts which speak in favor
of the early construction of tho road.
Now is tho time to act. The money must
be raised and tho road built for tho &C

Mr.. A. Lay, County Supervisor, will
put tho %chaingang to work there as 500

The BattIeship Christened by Miss Letter
Before a Large Crowd.

NEWPORT News, Va, Oct. 5.-Amid
the enthusiastic plaudits of nearly 49,.
900 intently interested people, the shrill
salutation of steam whistles from many
boats and tugs and the strains Of ''The
Star Spangled Banner" the first class
battleship Illinois slid into the water
yesterday. The launch was brilliant
success in every particular.
The sponsor of the vessel, Miss Nan,

MED by Governor Tanner of Illinois,
his staff in full uniform and crowd of
distinguished Chicagoans.
Notable among the vessels in the har.
Dor was the presidents dispatchboat

As the motion of the vessel began
Miss Letter, who had been standing
with the christening bottle poised in
the air, let it swing sharply against the
bow, simultaneously uttering the
words: 81 chrlsten the Illinois," and
then amid deafening applause, the
waving of banners and the din of steam
whistles the gaily decorated hull, with
more than 100 persons aboard, ghded
gracefully into the James river, and as
her bows cleared the ways slowly
hoated out into the steam.

"Look at the extreme orient, where
France, Russia, Germany and England
are powerful rivals. If the Americans
install themselves in the Philippines,
the situationj will be greatly modified,

friendship of Japan and England to the
detriment Ut all other nations. This
will be foY Amerlca truly privileged
