competition, but Tor protection. we
hope 10 see some substantial cncOllr-
agcmcnt offered the farmers, that they
may be induced to SOW heavily this
fall, and, if the conditions warrant it,
let the mills of the County, large farm
crs and local interested business men
offer number Of prizes for best yields.
and at the same time assure the farm
ers that their home product shall have
preference over the Western.
We have always known that Andcr-
son County was one OF the most pros
porous Counties in the State, but we
did not know what contributed so
largely to its prosperity. The Green
Vile Times says: The Greenwood Jour
nal says: "Thcre seems to be growing
up better feeling between the banks
Of the South and the cotton farmers,
and the banks are proposing to give
them that relief which is so necessary
for them to havc.' Anderson County
owes its pre-eminencc among the corn-
ties largely to the fact that the farm
crs and the bankslmdcrstand each oth-
cr in advance OF the other Counties. II
the Times is correct, and we do not
doubt but that it is, we hope that the
farmers and the banks in every County
in South Carolina will make haste to
understand each other. We are cs-
pecially anxious that it should be so III
Greenwood County, if, indeed, it is not
already the caSc.-GrrrRw0Od I0NrRdf.
The Designer for October, published

It's fashion plates, both in black and

Somebody said the incest thing about
you, the other day, said one Young
girl to another. "Oh. tell 1T quickly,
then: tell it rs quickly as You can.. was
the laughing answer. 'Don;t you know
that all such parcels are marked ''spc-
cial delivery, and must be sped on
their way us quickly as pOssiblc!!l 1t
was only girlish bit OF nonsense, but
under it lay truth that is worth con-
sidcring. The kindly words, the cplcas-
ant things we hear of others ought near
" always to find their way to the ones
of whom they are spoken; and one OF
the surcst and easiest methods OF
frightening the lives about MS is just
to remember such words and s.dclivcr'
them where they belong at the earliest
oppOrtunc moment. The world is full
enough OF discouragclncnt. There are
many who are quick to catch the snccr-
ing comment, the cenSorious Judgment,
the harsh criticism, and repeat these
where they will sting and wound: and
there are sensitive, self-distrustful
spirits everywhere to whom words OF
appreciation are as a breath OF fresh
life. Let us gather up the pleasant
things We hear, and consider ourselves
special messengers for passing them on

We do noG know, nor is it necessary,
who is responsible for the very insult
ticient service given the city by the
electric light company. 1t only re-
mains rs q fact that we have the poor.
est lights in point OF brllliancc and
cOnstancy of any town III the State,
and the time is now quite ripe Tor the
city either to pay more for q better ser
vice or obtain control OF her lighting
franchises. We do not pretend tOknow
the cause OF the extremely poor light
given by the arcs used here. but 1t
strikes us that one cause is the absence
OF elevation, so that the rays conccn-
tratc within IL very inconsiderablc IA
dius directly beneath the lamp. and
nowhere else. Another complaint IS
in regard to the arbitrary shutting oft
OF the lights upon the approach OF any
little cloud, the cheap, Intellectual az
rcstcrs being unequal to the cmcrgcn-
cy. While this danger cannot be Who'll
" obyiated by the Use of any known
arrcstcr. it can be made appreciably
less by using those OF q late and I'M
proved pattern, and should be put into
service here ut the earliest possible
date. This does not refer to the many
dead lights one finds in little stroll
any night-for which there is no ex-
cusc whatever. We have heard much
complaint, and the people state their
wants freely. They say they want
"lishts to burn.
