Poor old Dom Paul. who, in the desola-
ton of defeat, reminds one of his famous
yesant, is unwilling to believe that the
struggle Is over and that his people have
lost their last chance o, securing liberal
terms from the conqueror. He is re-
ported as about to visit Europe to memo
iialize the various States for interven-
ton to secure to the burghers home rule
and autonomy under British suzerainty.
If he had offered to accept that six months
ago he might, perhaps, have succeeded.
Now, unfortunately. 1t is too late. No
power will interfere. or would be justi-
fed under the rules of international law
in interfering under the conditions which
now obtain.

TN still Hunt.-The Hon. Perry S.
Heath and the Hon! Richard Kerens. one
the secretary of the Republican National
Committee and the other the Missouri
member thereof. left Mr.. Hanna's head
quarters in Chicago yesterday for tour
Of the mountain States of the West which
swung over to the Democratic column four
wears ago. Their first stopping place viii
be Cheyenne. Wyo., where they will be
the guests of Senator Clarence Don Clark,
and will learn from him as accurately as
possible the real situation in that State,
so they will know what to advise Senator
Hanna to do in order to ensure Mr.. Nc
T;inlev's safety there. From Cheyenne
thew will go to Utah, and presumably will
take stock of the conditions there. Then
into Idaho. the Dakotas, and Montana they
win 90. and return to Chicago in time to
set the machinery in motion that is ex>
Dected to give all of these States to Mr.
mckinley. Neither Mr.. Heath nor Col
onel Kerens is new at this sort of busi-
moss In fact, they carry to their task the
Find of experience needed Each was
nrominent in the work of the marvellous
organization formed and equipped by Mr..
Hanna in 1885 which landed Mr.. Mck'n-
lev first a winner at The ST. Louis Conven-
ton IL. 1895 ara IN the election tnat year.
The kind or amount of equipment" they
have taken along with them on this trip
Is not known, but that it is what they
consider necessary cannot be doubted.
The Hon. Brigham Fl. Roberts. whom the
Republicans mobbed in the House last
winter. was in Chicago the other day
under an assumed name, and when his
identity was established by an enterpris-
ing reporter the Norman statesman very
frankly avowed the belief that Utah would
como over to the Republicans In November.
II is thought that if Messrs. Heath and
Kerens did not see Roberts while he was
in Chicago they will see him in Utah and
get a bill of particulars from him explain
ing hf talk In Chicago. Roberts was
elected to Congress as Democrat and
was thrown out by the Republicans
though NEST of the Democrats voted
| against him also. 1t is suspected that
| the drubbing he received at the hands OF
| the Republican House has converted him,
| and that when Re next runs for Congress
II will be as u Republican.

campaign funds go at their task with an
inadequate appreciation of the conditions
which confront the men who in every
campaign contribute the largest 1ndi-
vidual amounts Primarily, those who
make and save money acquire in the pro-
cess mental habit of carefully guarding
their boards which causes them to squeeze
a dollar much harder than the i'm
provident person who believes them cap
able of recklessly putting up their money
at the call of the political managers.
the truth we're known. it would probably
be shown that the men of small means
are more liberal in the financial support
they give their parties and candidates than
the multi millionaires. There are great
many people yet in the world, who, like
Agassiz, ARE too busy TO make money.
These people have pleasures in ideals
Which the moneygrubbers never exper-
fence. and as political principles and pom
cies belong to the category of ideals. 1t Is
20 this class to whom the politicians look
largely for financial support.
still. there can be no doubt that
business man" of the Hanna stripe in
politics would economize his energies
by demanding money In bulk from the

by lively expectations of personal benefit.
From this class IL is certain that Hanna
has secured a campaign fund adequate to
the requirements of the situation as he
views It, The amount at his disposal
doubtless runs into millions. but that IL
is anything like the thirty million alleged
is too ridiculous TO be believed. II thirty
million dollars would elect Mr.. Mckinley

NOTES OF TIE CAMPAIGN.

Idaho Is All Right.-Senator Heitfeld
of Idaho arrived in Washington yester-
day from the far West and will return
to his home In two or three days Inc
Senator says there is absolutely no
doubt about Idaho's three electoral
votes being cast for Bryan and Steven
son-and that too, in spite of the TACT
that since the last election suffrage mas
been extended to the women OF the
State. Senator Heitfeld talks hopefully
about the final outcome of the fusicn
movement in Idaho. AS is generally
known, there is stubborn hitch in the
fusion movement. each party to the ola
arrangement of four years ago appar-
emily being determined to get the best
of the bargain. 1t is thought that within
the next week or two all these diner
ences will be Strengthened out and that
the reform forces Will present sole
front to the enemy on the State as well
as the electoral ticket. The Senator ex-
plains that the local Jars and squabhies
do not affect the chances OF Mr.. Bryan
in Idaho. There is perfect under
standing between the fusion factions
that whatever happens to the local
ticket Mr.. Bryan is to get every vote
tnat " not hepuDllcan. oeHaloi iiViS
field did not say so. but it is learned
from another reliable source that II the
Fusionists do not come together very
soon there Will BE serious danger OF the
Republicans carrying the Legislature
and thus rerelect the Hon. George l..
Shoup to the Senate. 1t is conceded by
everybody acquainted with Idaho that
Senator Shoup is the most potent per-
sonali:y In the State by reason of his
long residence there and his great popu-
larity with all classes of the people.
The Hon. Fred Dubois, who is running
against him, is also quite popular, but
is said not to have nearly so large
personal following as has Senator Sh PUP.
Evidently 1t behooves the Democratic
national managers to interfere in the
row among the Fusion forces in Idaho
to the end OF stopping the trouble be-
fore the United States Senat0rship is
lost. Idaho is one of the States listed
by the opponents of Hannaism and Nc
Kinleyism as certain to deprive the in
fuences that control the Admin:strat on
of a vote in the Senate as result OF
the forthcoming election.

ing Democratic news from those States.

Bryan in 1S96-Washington by L, 1873 and
Wyoming by $50 majority He declares that
neither State will be carried by Mr.. Bryan
this year. and as to Washington, he relates
strange story. The change in Wyoming
is accounted for on the accepted theory
that the immigration TO that State since
the last election has been SO heavily Re-
publican as TO completely swamp the oP
position. But as to Washington, it Is as
serted that the Socialist vote viii be cast
almost solidly against Mr.. Bryan. 1t Is
conservatively estimated that there are at
least 10 600 voters in that State who claim
to be straight-out Socialists, the most Of
whom voted for Bryan four years ago, and.
of course II they desert him in a body. as
threatened Mr.. Mckinley will get Wash

give as their sole reason for voting against
Mr. Bryan their desire to assist in pre-
cipitating revolution" in the country as
quickly as possible. They argue that il

party will thus be enabled to triumph in

only postponing the final clash few years.

ment in this battalion one must have

Many men Of high civil rank will
march side by side with the poor vet
eran, who is unable to pay his way.
All expenses Of those unable to pay
their expenses will be paid from
fund now being raised for the pur-
pose mainly by the efforts OF the
Daughters Of the Confedracy. The
battalion will carry the old Spring
field rifle used in the war. 1t will
be one OF the grandest and most pa
thetic sights Of the occasion, and will
thrill the hearts OF all those who love
their country and the noble heroes
who fought, bled and suffered for th 10
cause. There will be 1O5 veterans
composing the battalion. Cannot n
similar battalion be raised in South
Carolina? Our dear old State has
many such veterans among her citi-
zens. Let an effort be put on foot at
once to organize such a battalion to
go from South Carolina and join
Georgia's s battalion in the parade.
The necessary funds can easily be
raised, Should it be necessary, every
patriotic citizen in this grand old
State would go down in his pocket to
help raise the funds.

Judging from the report OF tie re-
cent meeting Of the county Demo
cratic convention held in Spartan
burg last Monday, the effort to arouse
public sentiment against Hon. Stan
yarne Wilson, which has been made
by one of the papers Of that city for
some time past, was completely
showed under. Congressman Wilson
was reelected chairman, also presi-
dent Of the convention. A resolu-
tion was offered unanimously endor-
sing and approving the course OF
Stanyarne Wilson in Congress. 1t is
reported as having been largely at
tended meeting Of the Democrats Of
Spartanburg county, and such n
sweeping endorsement from his con-
stituents at his home is pretty
strong evidence OF the fact that an
opposing candidate need not bank on
much support from Wilson's home
county, Spartanburg.

FARMERS MUTUAL.

The quarterly meeting of the Farm
ecs Mutual Fire Insurance Associ-
alton Of Union county convened in
the court house last Saturday. There
were quite number of the members
present. The necessary business of
the association was transacted and
this being the day for the annual
meeting the former meeting ad-
journed and the annual meeting was
held. The affairs Of the association
were shown to be in excellent shape
and there had been considerable in
crease in membership. After pay
ing all losses there remained n cash
balauce on hand Of $362.72, from the
collections last year. This is the
time for annual collections which
will add materially to the amount.
There had been losses paid to the
amount of $2l6.7O, during the year.
Insurance in force 1892, 1877. so and
ten thousand more to add making
the grand total Of over 100000 in
surance. All the old officers were
elected by acclamation. The policy
of this association is for mutual pro-
lection pure and simple and we don't
see how any farmer in the county
can hesitate a moment to avail him
self Of the protection it offers. Mr..
L. II. Gore is the General Agent OF
the association and is meeting with
much encouragement in his work.
Oue OF its features which strikes us
as being among the most commend
able is the fact Of their extreme care
fulness in selecting risks and a de-
termination to insure no property for
more than OF its actual market
v,lue, said value assessed by care
full board Of assessors in each towr-
ship wherein the association in carry
ing risks. The annual assessment is
one-fourth Of one per cent. This covers
all expense of operation and any. sur
plus goes into the protection fund.
When fire occurs, and an assess
ment is made, it is made so much per
thousand insurance carried by the
members. 1t comes as near the
mark Of insurance at actual cost"
as anything we can imagine, and we
wish to say right here that VIC are
not writing up an advertisement, but
cheerfully give this space to very
laudable effort upon the part Of our
farmer friends to band themselves
together as brothers for the mutual
protection Of each other when calam-
tiles befall them from the effects Of
wind or fire. Looking at it in this
way we heartily recommend our
farmers to join the movement. We
l)ok upon the farmers as our friends,
and anything that we think will be
for their interests and the betterment
Of their condition can have attention
in our columns, and what advice We
may take the liberty Of Offering will
always be, according to the best Of
our ability, for the promotion OF their
best interests.
