WELL ORGANIZED.

In answer to the suggestion made by
the Lyon County Times, that the Sill
YER party will be out of the running
year from next fall, the Reno journal
says:
Tell the truth and shame the devil.
As matter of fact the Silver party
was never better organized than it is at
the present time. 1t has a full and
complete State Committee and local
committees in all of the counties, the
same as the Democrats. The exper-
fence of last year proves conclusively
the wisdom of acting in concert to ef-
feet common purpOse-the defeat of
their common enemy, the Republican
party. A fusion was effected last fall
and the two committees worked to-
gether in perfect harmony during the
campaign, without a single hitch or
sign of jealousy or other i'll feeling on
either side. That fusion still exists
and is in full force, and can be nullified
only by the conventions next fall which

for consolidation are fully as strong for
the next as they were in the last cam
paign. There is no question that with
the anti-Republican forces united they
are invincible, and no honest and sim
cere opponent of the Mckinley admin
istration will advocate their division
a cOnsumation most devoutly to be
wished for by the Republican leaders
in this State.
Tie Journal quotes approvingly the
following from the Carson APPEAL:
''The safe method will be an alliance of
every anti-Republican vote in one tic
ket, and it should embrace the Silver
men, Democrats and Populists.

r. o. PURDY FOR JUDGE.

The announcement made by Judge
O. W. Buchanan that be will not
stand for reelection, relieves the third
judicial district problem very much,
Judge Buchanan had friends in this
circuit who would have felt much en-
barrassed had he continued in the
race, but now since he no longer need
be considered, we should like to give
an expression as regards one of the an
nounced candidates. We refer to Hon.
Robert O. Purdy, a young, active, con-
scientious student and worker, char
acter above reproach, and of unhinch-
ing determination. Mr.. Purdy pos
sesses fine judicial material. He has
the ambition to make his name second
to none, the character to be studious,
and his life's career has been a
synonym for answering honesty.
The General Assembly IN selecting
E. O. Purdy to be one Of the circuit
Judges of this State, would be giving
to the people man whose conduct on
the bench will be characterized with a
determination to hold the scales of jns-
tice with an even hand. He will do
his daty. We hope that when the
legislature convenes that the members
Will Eli this important position from
the ranks Of merit and not from the
ranks Of politicians. We have k9own
Mr.. Purdy ever since he began the
practice of law and that his career was
successful may be judged by the large
and lucrative practice he built up. In
our opinion. were Mr.. PuEdy to con,
suit his financial interests he woald
not permit the use of his name for a
judgeship, for he can make at the pIac-
tice of his profession more than the
salary of Judge, but he has consented
to become candidate, and we most
sincerely commend him for support
to the Represent natives of the people OF
South Carolina. Manning Times

NEW USE FOR COTTON.

The following resolutions were in
troduced by Mr.. Harvie Jordan, of
Georgia, and adopted at Hot Springs
at the meeting of the commissioners
of agriculture of the southern states:
Whereas, the production of cotton
is the greatest staple crop of the south,
and its marketing yields the chief
source of revenue to southern planters; !;
and
"Whereas, it is highly important
that every possible market should be
foundssfor its sale and use; and
"Whereas, it has been found prac-
ticable to sack fertilizers in bags
manufactured out of cotton, therefore
be it
ssResolved, That in the advocacy of
home products and in the interest OF
the cotton producers of the south who
purchase fertilizers, we, the Southern
Commissioners of Agriculture, IN pres
ent session at Hot Springs, Ark, earn
estly request all manufacturers of COM
mercial fertilizers to take steps as
early as possible looking to the perma-
nent adoption of and use of cotton
bags in which to sack their CONNER
cial fertilizers, as far as it is practica-
BILE to do so.
If any considerable number of the
cotton growers should unite in this de-
mand the fertilizer manufacturers
might consider the matter, provided
cotton bags can be shown to be as
cheap and as satisfactory in other
respects as the bags now generally in
use; but as the farmers are not likely
to unite or to stay united if they
should get together for awhile, we
fear Mr.. Jordon's preamble and resolu-
tions Will fail of effect.
If the farmers would lead the way in
finding every possible market for cot
tom by creating one home market,
viz: using cotton cloth Of suitable
weight and texture as covering for
their cotton bales. we would have
more hope of the ultimate conversion
of the fertilizer manufacturers to Mr..
Jordan's way of thinking. The farm
ers do not use jute bagging because it
is jute and not cotton, but because
they believe that it pays them to do
so; nor do fertilizer manufacturers use
sacks made of jute or similar fiber in
preference to cotton bags on account
of prejudice against cotton, but be-
cause they have found jute bags either
cheaper or better.
We agree with all that Mr.. Jordan
says about the importance Of finding
every possible market for cotton, and
would be glad to see dozen new uses
found for it, but unless the farmers
can unite for the purpose of making
effective an agreement to cover every
bale of cotton with cotton bagging and
to use no commercial fertilizer that is
not sacked in cotton bags, we fear that
we, who depend so largely upon cotton,
shall have to look forward for higher
prices to the time the Chinese decide
to change the style of their skirts by
adding an inch to their length. When
this change takes place, Minister WI
assumes, a ten million bale crop will
be insufficient to supply the cloth need
ed to add the extra inch to his coun
trymen.s Skirt-tailS.

The County Board of Commissioners


should certainly appropriate the five
or six hundred dollars needed to insure
Sumter county exhibit at the
Charleston Exposition. The same
amount of money could not be other
wise expended to as good effect. The
City Council should appropriate at
least $500 to $500 and the balance of
81, 200 to 81, 500 should be raised by
popular subscription. The people of
this city would do their part we are
confident and if the matter is properly
presented to the business men and
property owners in other parts of the
county they would also contribute
literally. Sumter county needs moth
ing so badly as an influx of white peo-
pie and to invite them to come and
settle among us is not suf6cient-they
must be convinced that it is to their
interest to do so. This county al
though one of the largest, most fertile,
healthiest, possessing great variety Of
resources, unsurpassed railroad facil-
tiles and navigable river along its
entire western boundry, has less than
thirteen thousand whites out of more
than fifty thousand population. We
have unimproved resources in the most
lavish abundance and we need men to
utilize them. In our own eyes Sumter
county looms large and important. but
millions of Americans do not know
that such a countysshas a place on the
map, to say nothing of their total
ignorance of its resources and pro-
ducts. There are thousands of indus
trious and intelligent Americans in the
North and West who are seeking homes
in the South and they will settle
where they believe the conditions are
most favorable to success. Few Of
them will make tour CT the South to
find the best place and those who do
come will visit only the places Of
which they have heard favorable re-
ports. The Charleston Exposition
will be visited by thousands of these
home and investment seekers and
the counties and towns that are there
we'll advertised by attractive exhibits
will attract their attention, receive
their consideration and invite further
and closer investigation. No such op-
portunity for advertising our section
has ever come within our reach and
the counties that are wise enough and
progressive enough to send to the Ex-
position an attractive and representa-
tive exhibit will reap a reward that
will repay many fold all that it costs.
Sumter county has a population Of
about fifty thousand and could sup
port with comfort three times that
number. We want the other hundred
thousand inhabitants as soon as may
be and we want them to be intelligent
and industrious white people. The
way to secure them is not to sit down
and wait for them to come, but to con-
vince them that it will be to their
lasting benefit to come.
An exhibit showing the products and
resources of the county is the cheapest,
quickest and best way of advertising
our county. and convincing those who
are looking for homes or money max
ing opportunities in the South that
Sumter county is the ideal spot for
,rbiob 4hev ara soaking

We devote large share of our space
this week to Lee county matters, but,
as large majority Of our readers are
deeply interested in the result OF the
impending new county election. we
have thought it but right TO devote
as much space to this one subject as
should be asked for by the advocates
or opponents of the new county. Some
Of tie articles published in this Issue,
while they have a bearing on new
county issue, are the outgrowth of
publications with the circulation Of
which this paper had no part and for
which it has no responsibility, yet
since those directly interested in these
side issues to the main question wish
to lay the facts before the public we
have given them the opportunity of
doing so. On next Tuesday the elee-
tion will be held and we trust that
whatever the result, all parties will
accept it as the voice of the people,
If the election is fairly carried for Lee
county or goes fairly against it there
should be no captious after attempt to
defeat the expressed wish Of the peo-
ple. Both sides to the contest should
guard against irregularities and should
unite in the effort to make the elec-
ton a fair, honest and decisive express
sion of the wishes of the qualified elec
tors of the territory to be cut off from
the old counties to form the new
county of Lee. We take it that such
an expression is just what both side:
want and that neither side will res
content with any other result. lrregu
larities will breed not only create
antagonisms than now exist, but vii
make litigation a certainty just a.
