Editors Trip Through the County.
1t is always pleasure to US TO
once and awhile 60 out in the coun-
try and mingle with our people at
their homes and while engaged in
their everyday life. There is a
charm about visit to the country
that is irresistible and impels US to
lay down the stick and rule and
yeild 10 the persuasive Influences Of
a drive over Lexington county and
we invariably avail ourself of the
annual visit of the County Treasurer
to do so. This year has been no ex-
ception to the rule.
The first place that we made on
Monday of last week, was Uncle
Josh Shealy's, where we arrived in
due time and found him in his usual
good humor and he welcomed US
with a generous hospitality. He
has fine corn cribs and fat hogs and
is consequently free from four cents
cotton.
Tuesday we were at Chapin, where
we found everybody heels over head
in business. The merchants seem to
b. doing thriving and prosperous
business and wore smiling faces.
Large business is being done in lum-
be-and wood. We were kind y treated
and comfortably provided with splen-
did accom- mmodations at the hotel Kept
by Mrs. Ed Williams
From Chaplin we went to the Cross
Roads where the usual number of
taxpayers met US. We exchanged
greetings with numerous friends and
pleasantly chatted awhile with the
people.
Wednesday morning found US at
Peak, the thriving little city on the
yellow rolling Broad liver. The
people of this place are very progles-
sive. The merchants all carry large
stocks and deal extensively in cotton.
They want free ferry across the
Broad. Nearly two, thirds Of the
trade of the town comes from the
Fairfield side, and if a free ferry
was established there a larger trade
would be done thereby increasing
the value of property and making
larger taxes for the county. There
is no ferry on Broad river between
Littleton to Hugh's ferry up in New
berry county and ferry at Peak is
an absolute necessity for the accom-
modation of the people. Fairfield is
willing to bear her proportionate
share of the expense and Peak will
pay the ferry man. What say you,
Mr. Supervisor Langford? Mrs.
Stuck's hotel at this place is kept in
first class style and the table literally
groans under its load of we'll cooked
food.
At Spring Hill Thursday, the tax
payers were prompt in selling their
tribute for the privilege of living in
this gloriously free country.
We took dinner Thursday with
that prince of good fellows, Mr.. D.
A Richardson, ard lie fed us to such
an extent that in self defense we
were forced to cry out, ''hold, enough.
Thursday night, we spent under
the hospitable roof Of our esteem' d
friend, Mr.. Elias Meetze and were
royalty entertained. MIS-. Meetze is
one of Lexingtous best housckeepers

The Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers Great Aggregation.
From the New York Herald.
: Mr.. J. A. Bailey, sole owner of
the Great Adam Forepaugh Show,
has just concluded arrangements
with Messrs. Ephraim, Lewis and
Peter Sells, by which the show
known as Sells Brothers. Enormous
Railroad Shows is consolidated with
the Forepaugh Show, thus making
the new aggregation one of the most
powerful in the world"
The potential arenic proprietors
represented in the above named en-
terprise-and they are men Of great
wealth and enviable standing-have
but one definite purpose in view, and
that is to give great deal more for
the money, than has ever before been
attempted, believing that the result
will be such an increase in patronage
without any advance in prices, as
will amply justify the really titanic
experiment. Every other show in
the country will be permitted to go
it's way unmolested and unnoticed.
If great influences and effects result
they will come from inevitable popu
lar comparison, and those who tempt
that must abide the onsequence.
Under the arrangements made the
Adam Forepaugh Sells Brothers
Consolidation will be the only one Of
the whole worlds greatest shews to
visit Columbia, and it will appear on
Friday, November Is. Each Of the
big enterprises Of which it is com,
prised is both locally and nationally
famous for including the rarest wild
beasts; the finest and most abundant
hippodromatic and circus talent, and
the most wondrous, startling and
novel features procurable from every
quarter of the globe. The wild
beast collections include the only
two herds of performing elephants,
and the biggest ones; the only edu-
Gated sea lions and seals, and they
are wonderfully entertaining; the
only giant male hippopotrmus; the
only two-horned Sumatra rhinoceros,
monster polar bear, Niger antelope,
gnu, eland, flock Of ostriches, and far
and away the biggest lions ana tigers
and most singular creatures ever ex
hibited. The distinguished male
and female racing, arenic and fun
making talent is recruited from
every quarter of the globe, AID ap-
pears in hundred acts and rivalrles,
requiring three rings, two elevated
stages and maze of aerial app]l-
ances. The performing animals are
numerous, varied and admirable, and
the morning street parade massing
Of the spectacular splendors, open
dens, hundreds of splendid horses,
droves of wild beasts, and other
pageant possessions of the two big
gest shows. 1t goes without saying
that everybody will be eager to see
such display and such a perform
a1ce.

SILVER ANDTHERATIO
SIXTEEN 70 ONE BEST FOR
THIS COUNTRY.
The Commercial Ratio of so to
Would Soon Change to 16 to 1 If the
Minis Were Opened TO the FREQ Coin
age of the Constitutional Dollar.

Many people think that because there
were but 100000 silver dollars coined
in the United States previous to 1873
We were not upon bimetallic stand
ard: The reason no more silver dol
lars were coined in the United States
was because the ratio of 151s to / pre-
vailed at the French mint, which made
silver worth $1.35 an ounce, instead of
$1.29 an ounce. The holder of silver
bullion in the United States at the ex-
penditure of 1 cent per ounce could
transmit his silver to the French mint
and thus make cents more per ounce
than he could make by having it
coined into American dollars. is it
any wonder, then, that there were no
more silver dollars coined in America
than 8,000000 But during that period
the great quantity of silver that we
transferred to France was doing duty
and service as money in Europe, and,
was, therefore, relieving the strain up
ON gold equally as If that silver were

termining what great influence
powerful nation like the United
States will have in establishing
the parity of the metals, that, although
the people Of the United States
are nearly equally divided upon
the question of opening our minis to
the free coinage Of silver, 100000
having voted for President Mckinley
and 100000 having voted for Mr..
Bryan, the minute that free coinage
act is passed all of this difference of
opinion will vanish, and we will have
united nation and a united people
Using all their power to establish the
equal value of the metals. Why is
this true? Because all the capitalists
in the country have obligations that
are payable in lawful money, the
United States bonds themselves held
by national banks being payable in
coin; and when silver under free coin

by the Mckinley administration are
always in the future tense. First
prosperity was to follow the cleo
ton, then it was to follow Inaugural
ton; failing then, it was surely to
follow the regular session of congress.
Now Postmaster General Smith, the sill
ver-tongued orator of the cabinet, says,
"It is essentially necessary to vote the
Republican ticket again this year, to
enable congress to reform the cur
rency" in order to insure the prosper
ity promised by the speakers of 1896.
Always Gin the future" The Repub-
licans have had a majority in both
houses; why do they not reform" the
currency? Like the promise of inter
national bimetallism, it is a sham.

Gold Only.

The fact in regard to the use of gold
and silver as money that the people
are beginning to realize is that in
demonetizing silver one-half the stand
ard money of the country was de-
stroyed, doubling the other half, which
is gold, and depreciating property val
ues to the extent that to obtain one
of these dear dollars it takes double
the amount of property, whether the
dollar is represented by silver, paper
or gold. The milk in the cocoanut'' is
in the fact that money (gold only)
fixes the value of property under leg
islation controlled by the power OF
money, and too many have, through
the same influence, been led to regard
the representative of money as money.
