The Hand Primary.

The hand primary in the present
campaign is worthless as a political
indicator. The following extract
from the account Of the Pickcns
proves This assertion I:
"rhc most remarkable phase Of
the meeting to-day was the apparent
acrobatic feat Of the audience in it's
hand primaries. The two principal
primaries were those of lloyt and
Tillman. Mr.. l.. u. Olcll had been
worrying Col. lIoyt with questions
and Col. lloyt replied as rapidly as
the questions were fired until finally
he said that he would take n hand
primary and see whether the crowd
was for the dispcnsary or prohibition.
The vast majority Of those voting
voted for prohibition in this hand
primary. Senator Tillman said it
was about 20 to 10 or Is and when
Senator Tillman came to speak he
took a hand primary which resulted
the same as they have at previous
90 per cent of those v9,ing
holding up their hands and hurrah-
ing for the diSpcnsary.'

WiIborn's Warehouse Scheme.

CoLrMEiA, August l2.-Rcfcrcncc has
already been made to tho proposed Cot
ton Growers Convention to be held in
September for the purpose of regulating
the marketing of cotton so as to increase
the price The warehouse feature Of the
plan is thus described:
Tho warehouses arc to DO situated at
some central point accessible to all the
farmers of the community and on a
railroad with side track facilities. They
are to DC bonded institutions, which is
guarantee that the cotton is safe, and
will be forthc oming promptly on de
mand upon the surrender of tho ware
house certificate. Tho cotton is to be
stored for the convenience and economy
of the farmer. The cotton receipt,
showing the date it was gnncd, the
mark, the weight, and grade, is issued
for the same. Being amply covered by
assurance, backed by the double security
afforded by the bonded feature, the
warehouse receipt becomes Immediately
negotiable; hence the cotton is the best
of collateral and will enable the farmer
to secure Il loan from any bank or iinan-
cial institution. The experience of tho
Georgia Association in this matter has
been that where these warehouses are
established iirst-class market is ere
atcd. 1t is claimed that the spinner,
operating directly with the farmer,
through the ginncr, receives superior
grade of superior quality, better fibre
wCll protected from the weather, and
that prices Of onccghth to one quarter
above city prices were obtained. This
refers of course toa warehouse in the
country, the claim being that a market
can be established almost anywhere by
proper efforts along the line indicated.
The next step is to organize the gin
ncrs into an association, with an cXccu-
tive board, each ginncr promising to fur
niSh to that body each week n report
giving in substance tho condi ton Of the
| cotton ginncd, whether tho cotton is
| backward or forward, and tho number
of bales ginncd each week. These re
ports arc to bc condensed and the total
numh2i of bales ginncd weekly will be
furnished each ginncr. The ginner will
| post it in conspicuous place in tho
warehouse, where the farmers can Judge
| for themselves whether it is wise to sell
or bold. These associations are to be
| inauguratcd i'm each cotton State. These
condensed Interstate reports to be cX-
changed weekly. This places in the
reach of every farmer week by week.
the correct yield over the entire cotton
belt. 1t will take Il vast amount of
| work to secure the cooperation OF every
| farmer and ginncr in the State, not to
speak Of those throughout the cotton belt.
Mr.. Wilborn, who is engineering the
work Of organizing in this State, thinks
| the plan entirely practicable, and be
licvcs that if the farmers generally un-
dcTstoOd the advantages of the plan
there would be no trouble in obtaining
| their active assistance. 1t could hardly
hc expected that should the Convention
show considerable organization i'm the
State that the full accomplishment Of
| the plan can he made this year, but
| Mr.. Wilborn hopes that Il start will bn
mado which will insure final success.

Right or Wrong.

The following is from an extract
from Rev. w. II. Richardson's ser
mon, published in Mondays State,
and which sets forth with great force
the prohibitionists' stand
"The selling of Intoxicating liquors
az beverage is either morally right
or morally wrong. The question adj
mits of no alternative. There is no
neutral ground. If selling intoxicat-
ing liquors as a beverage is morally
right, then any legislative enactment
which discriminatcs against it is an
injustice, and it ought to be placed
on the same footing as selling drugs
or dry goods or groceries or any
other line OF merchandise. On the
other hand, if selling Intoxicating
liquors rs a beverage is morally
wrong, no legislative enactment can
make it right, and it is not a matter
OF police regulation, but Of suppress
slon. The State cannot engage in Il
business that is morally wrong with
out dcbauching herself. a citizen
cannot vote to license business
that is morally wrong without com
hitting an immoral act. challenge
any man to point out any other
position that the State or the indi-
vldual citizen can occupy with re
gard to the liquor traffic"

English View of Americas Election

LONDON. Oct. 2o,-Now that the ex-
element of the general election has
passed the country is watching with in
cseased interest the progress Of the polii-
ical campaign in the United States. 1t
is doubtful whether any previous cleo
ton across the Atlantic has attracted so
much attention from the British labor
element as the present contest. The
prevailing impression, conveyed by the
press dispatches and correspondence, is
that the struggle is one between labor
aud capital, and the columns of the
daily and weekly radical papers, such as
! REYNOLDS and others Of its class, TEEN
! with comments on the supposed situa-
ton, while numerous leaflets and pamph-
lets dealing with the supposed contest
between the plutocracy on the one side
and the masses on the other have been
penned for distribution among the work
ing classes.
