A Note of Warning.

A tremendous mass meeting was held
in Waltcrboro last Thursday night i'll
honor of Capt. d. G. 1leywards election
as Governor. He made magnificent
speech, which was full of patriotism.
But one of the best things he said is
copied below:
II believe in home rule 1t is princi-
pie which is dear to every true South
Carolinian and to every true American
citizen. While it shall be my purpose to
recognize the recommendations of the
several county delegations in matters per
tanning to the interest of their respective
counties, give fair notice of my determi-
nation to examine into the character,
reputation and fitness of those who are
recommended to me for appointment,
and if find that the best interest Of the
common welfare will not be best served
by making such an appointment, l will
not feel called upon to accede to the
wishes of the delegation. 1t must be re-
membered that the responsibility for all
appointments and acts rests finally upon
the governor, and delegations should
therefore, be careful that their choice
falls upon only such as can creditably re-
feet upon the one who makes the ap
nOintmant"

LaurenS Cotton Market.

LAURENs, S. c., Sept. 15.-Three hun
dred farmers and business men held 4
mass meeting here to-day to discuss and
take action, if advisable, relative to the
cotton buying situation as it exists here.
There being only one buyer in Laurens
this buyer representing the local mill and
two other mills The charge has been
made that mills are in combine and there
is apprehension among farmers that they
would not get full prices, etc. The port
prices are being paid, however After
number of speeches had been made Il
Committee composed Of farmers and
business men, submitted 4 resolution to
the effect that the Laurcns mill be re-
quested to put 4 buyer on the square and
that failing export buyers, that he I've in
vited to visit the market every Thursday
at the bonded warehouses. This rcsolu-
tion passed and was adopted with an
amendment added that if there be COM
bination or pooling Of interests among
the cotton mills with the view of controll-
ing prices of the staple, as alleged, that 4
committee investigate the matter, collect
evidence and report To the solicitor.
Three citizens compose the committee.

We have talked with many Of the most
prominent men in this county since the
primary, and they all with one accord
unite in condemning the present primary
system. There are several valid objections
raised: First on the ground of expense;
as it is now no poor man can run for a
State office; it is the fellow who has mon
ey to spend who is successful. Money
and whiskey are used to purchase and
debauch voters, and the influence ofthese
two factors very often changes the result
entirely. AS rule the primaries are con-
Quoted rather loosely and there is much
room for fraud. With the experiences Of
the last four years fresh in our mind we
must advocate a change. We dislike the
convention plan of nominating, but that
seems to be the only alternative. There
should be a change of some kind, for
many of us are getting sick and disgusted
over the disgraceful conditions now eX-
isting.

Factional Lines Obliterated.

An examination of the list of the sue
cessful candidates in the recent primaries
shows their former factiohal differentia-
ton to be:
Senator: Latimer, reformer.
Governor: Hayward, conservative.
Lieutenant Governor: Sloan, conserva-
tive.
Secretary of State: CAN'T, reformer,
Comptroller General: Jones. reformer.
Adjutant General: Frost, conservative.
Railroad Commissioner: Caughman,
refOrmer.
Attorney General: Gunter, reformer.
Treasurer: Jennings, conservative.
Congress: Legare, conservative; Croft,
conservative; Aiken, conservative; John
son, conservative; Finley, reformer; Scar
borough, conservative; Lever, reformer.
Ten reformers and nine conservatives
make pretty even division. If the offices
had been divided out by agreement they
could not have been more evenly appor-
toned.
In the contest for governor it is some
what rotable that Talbert, reformer,
carried Richland, a solid conservative
county, while Hayward, conservative,
carried Spartanburg, a rock-ribbed reform
county. A number of other such instan-
ces as this strongly attest the obliteration
Of facti0nal lines.

One Way of Mailing Money.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 1.-Two
novelties have appeared to the Nashville
postal clerks within fortyeight hours.
First came one dollar bill, sans wrap
per, envelope or anything to hide it, the
only thing to denote its destination being
a label pasted on its back on which was
written the name Of its consignee, but
nothing to indicate the consignor. The
man who received it in due course of mail
delivery is keeping it as proof positive
that postal clerks, in this region at least,
are incorruptible.
The second alteration was in the shape
of roll of greenbacks deposited in rail
way postal car at Bowling Green, KY,
without envelope or wrapper of any sort.
A bit of frazzled twine was fastened about
the wad-it wasn't very hefty one, con-
tanning only $l5-and to this was tied
tag bearing the address of a local firm.
This, too, reached the concern for which
it was intended.
Postal officials are of the opinion that
this method of transmitting money is safer
than it seems, the fact of the moneys be-
ing unconcealed conveying the idea that
it is intended rs decoy. Still, this sort
of thing is not expected to become pOpu-
lar

olina: 1t is with a sense of profound
gratitude, mingled with sense of solemn
responsibility involved, that / tender you
my heartfelt thanks for your trust and
confidence as has been evidenced by the

to do all in my power to prove worthy
of this great gift-the confidence and

Without attempting to be too free In
the matter of advising farmers how to run
their business, we must say it would pay
to raise cattle and hogs for the market.
Beef cattle are very scarce, prices are
high, and even with this it is almost i'm
possible for butchers to get enough cattle
to supply the demand. A gentleman told
us few days ago that hogs were worth
on the western markets :! cents the
pound gross. There is quantity OF land
in this section which is only good fol
pasturage, and it only remains for wide
awake farmers to take advantage of these
opportunities. There is undoubtedly
good money to be made raising stock for
market, and we trust the industry will be
developed in this section.
