WHY Prices Are Higher.

When the Democracy contended
for the free carriage Of silver its object
was to secure a large circulation OF
money and there by benefit the busl:
ness interest Of the country. In 1895
the Democratic party contended that
there was not "a sufficient volume or
basic money, metallic money. ms
insutfciency of metallic money had
been the cause Of the prevailing low
prices for the previous twenty years.
Events proved the truth Of this con-
tention. We argued that this con-
dition should be met by the free
coinage of silver as well as OF golo.
Whether from fright at the manifest
strength of the party in 1896, or
from other causes, the volume OF me-
tallic money was increased wonderfully
thereafter. There was coined In the
world in 1895. in round numbers, 1885,
600. 900 Of gold, in 1897, s435, 5,0OO, 900,
almost twice as much as was coined
the year before: in 1898 1896, ,Ooo,ooo
was coined. In 1899 the worlds com
age of gold aggregated s466, 100000.
This increased the volume OF money so
as to relieve the dearth Of money and
increase prices so that there IS no
further pressing demand at this time
for a further increase Of coinage. The
logic of events proved the correctness
of the Democratic theory in 1896. Inc
necessity existed for an increase in the
volume of the currency, and the reIleI
was affected through the increased
coinage Of gold just as it would have
been through the increased coinage OF
gold and silver. Increase III the vol
ume of business may and prooaply
will require a further increase In the
volume Of metallic money to keep pace
with it, and in such case if there is
not a sufficient increase in the coinage
of gold to meet this necessity the de-
mand for the unlimited coinage OF Sill
yer may and probably will again be-

Good Manners

Good manners are more important
at home than elsewhere. AS they
cannot be put off and assumed as a
garment. we are able to form our
opinion of a persons home manners by
his manners in society. AS a rule
what are called company manner"
are as easily distinguishable as the
counterfeit coin from the pure gold.
\ beautiful behaviour is better than
a beautiful form: it gives higher
pleasure than statues or pictures; 1t IS
the finest of the fine arts. How we'll
is it that no one class has a monopoly
of this finest Of fine arts" While
favorable circumstances no doubt rem
der good manners more common among
persons moving in the higher spheres
of society, there should, nevertheless,
be no positive hindrance to the poor
est classes practicing good manners
toward each other. For what are
good manners? They are the art OF
putting our associates at their ease.
Whoever makes the finest people COM
Portable is the best hammered person
in the room, and nowhere is there so
much opportunity for displaying good
manners as in conversation. Well
hammered people do not talk too much.
They are careful to bear in mind the
meaning of the first syllable OF the
word conversation, con (with) that 1t
means talking with another: they alb
stain from lecturing, and are as ready
to listen as to be heard. They are
neither impatient to interrupt others
nor uneasy when interrupted them
selves. knowing that their anecdotes
or sharp replies will keep or need not
find utterance at all, they give full
attention to their companion. and do
rot by their looks show that they con-
slider him bore. Another rule OBJ
served by every good-mannered person
besides that he should not be impa-
tient to get in his word, that few
brilliant flashes Of silence should occur
in conversation. Another rule is not
to select ones self to talk about. 1t
must be borne in mind that as rule
we and our concerns are Of no more
Importance to others than they and
their concerns are to us. Why, then
should we so over the annals Of our
lives generally and our diseases in par
ticular to comparative strangers:
Why should we review the hardShlps
we have suffered in money matters,
in love, or domestic troubles, or why
should we boast Of our success? 1t is
unnecessary to state gossip or scandal
bearing is incompatible with good
manners. The occasion Of silence, says
Bishop Butler, are obvious, mainly
when we have nothing to say or moth
ing but what is better unsaid. II we
must speak OF our fellow-beings let it
be good, and if we have naught but
bad to say Of them, better not speak
of them at all.

What / Live For.

DR.. Guthrie used to say that there
We're more religion, good sense and
poetry in the following than in all other
similar efforts he had ever read:
| live for those who love me.
For those ! know are true:
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit. too:
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task my God assigned me,
For the bright hopes left behind me.
And the good that | can do.
l live to learn their story
Who suffered for my sake:
To emulate their glory
And follow in their wake:
Bards, martyrs. patriots. sages.
The mobiles OF all ages.
Whose deeds crown hiStory's pages.
And Times great volume make.
l live to hail the season,
By gifted minds foretold
When man shall live by reason,
And not alone for gold:
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted.
The whole world shall be lighted
AS Eden was Of old.
I live for those that love me,
With all that is divine.
To feel that there is union
.Twiyt Natures heart and mine:
To profit by attiiction,
Read truth from fields Of fiction.
Grow wiser from conviction,
Fulfilling Gods design.
| live for those that love me,
For those chat know me true,
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too:
For the wrongs that need resistance,
For the cause that needs assistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that | can do.

Tie CrI:..J:l Record Of Thursday
says. :. LGc:cn -,nders. alleged owner
of pecan orchards in various sections
Of the country. las been caught in
NickSburg. Miss. and will be tried at
Savannah On the charge of operating
fraud through the United States
mails. .Anders has swindled people in
every city in the South, and many
Columbians were caught. He adver-
tised in great many newspapers and
sent thousands of circulars through
the mail. They stated that he was
the owner Of varisus expensive pecan
nurseries, on which pecan tree of eX-
cellence was grown. Trees of this va
riety be offered to sell to an unSuSpect-
ing public.
His victims have been almost as
numerous as the sands of the sea. They
are residents of almost every section Of
the South and very probably of other
arts OF the country where pecans may
be successfully cultivated. Anders is
the posessor of a bland and seductive
address, which he has no difficulty of
conveying thr, ugh the medium of
printers ink. IL has won him many
a victim and brought many dollar to
dStill.
In SoMc cases Anders sent no trees
at all to these whom he caught on his
hook: to others he forwarded the trees
he was engaged in gathering when he
was located in Eicks5urg
The swampS in that locality are full
Of wild pecanS, that bear the outward
appearance, 81 far as bark and leaves
are concerned, f-the cultivated trees.
If they are not exact reproductions
they are sufficiently like the real thing
to deceive the inexpert eye and for An
derS' purpose they suifced very well
indeed. When he was located near
Nicksburg he was down in the swamps
industriously digging up wild pecan
sprouts and sending them to his con-
fding customers. Save for ornamen-
tation these sprouts are practically
worthless for every purpose whatever.
Complaints without number have
poured in upon the postotfice depart
ment and several fruit journals have
described at length the method Of his
operations. All this does not seem Sc
riously to have interfered with his bu-
SineSS.
When he has been tried in Savan-
nah and his sentence has expired, pro-
vided he is convicted, he will be
brought over here and dealt with.

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.
The Weather Better Last Week for
Farm Work.

tin of the condition of the weather
and crops, in South Carolina issued
Wednesday by Director Bauer of the
South Carolina section Of the climate
and crops service Of the United State
weather bureau:
The temperature averaged slightly
above normal over the western and
central portions and slightly below
along the coast, during the week end
ing Monday morning, April 18th,
with a mean for the week of &c de-
grees, a maximum Of 81 degrees at
Blackville, and minimum of 10 de-
grees at Santuc and Conway. The
sunshine averaged normal or above,
and the winds were generally light un-
til near the close, when they were high
in places.
Early in the week there was an un-
evenly distributed rainfall and another
near it's close covering two dates, but
over a large portion Of the eastern half
of the State the week was without
any rain, or with insufficient amount,
and cropsare in need Of more moisture
for the best development. Over the
remainder Of the State the ground
contains plenty of moisture. Hail
fell on the 10Th and 25th, but the
damage was slight on both dates.
Heavy rains on the 18th washed lands
somewhat.
The weather conditions were ex-
tremely favorable for farm work, and
generally so far termination of seed
and growth of vegetation. except that
com plaint is made Of the nights hav-
ing been too cool along the coast for
truck. In the upper Savannah valley
and at a few other points, clayey soils
are drying too fast causing them to
crust. The need of rain is indicated
in the lower Savannah valley, the east
central and northeastern counties,
practically over the entire low coun-
try" Drought conditions have exist
ed along portions of the coast since
last Goth of March.
Corn planting is nearly finished over
the eastern and central counties, and
is well advanced westward except in
the northern border counties, where
but little has been planted. Early
corn is up to fair stands and has re-
ceived it's first plowing in the eastern
counties: is up from fair to good stands
in the central counties. Defective
seed, cut worms and birds have caused
much replanting to be done, but not
as much as last year.
Cotton planting is nearly finished
over the eastern half of the State,
where some is up and little has been
chopped to good stands. Over the re-
mainder, planting is being rushed to
completion under very favorable soil
conditions. Cotton seed is scarce in
places.
Much tobacco has been tranSplanted
and good stands secured. Plants con-
tinue plentiful. The acreage devoted
to tobacco will be larger than ever
before. Wheat shows great improve
ment in color and growth. 1t is in
boot" and Is heading in places. Oats
have made marked improvement, and
in most localities are very promising,
but need rain in the Pee Dee counties.
Some oats are heading. Gardens nave
improved. Sweet potatoes for plant
ing are scarce. Strawberries plentiful
and being marketed in large Quanti-
ties. Heavy truck shipments made.
Pasturage excellent. All minor crops
doing we'll. Fruits very promising in
most localities.
