Last Weeks Elections.

The only substantial victory gained
by the Democrats In last weeks cleo
tions was In Maryland. This was more
a personal triumph for Senator Arthur
p. German than for the national Demo-
cratic party. The Tammany victory in
New York city is a great victory for
Tammany. 1t means further that
Tammany will be able to maintain q
great fight for the National Democ-
racy next year II Tammauy should so
choose. Tom johnson, Mr.. Bryau's
Ohio crony, appears to have been hope
lessly obliterated. Mr.. Bryau's state
again went to the Republicans. The
Democratic governor of Rhode Island
was reelected and the Democratic a n
didate for governor OF Massachusetts,
made small gains-not enough to count
seriously.
The Democrats Of course carried
Kentucky and Mississippi and lost
Iowa.
1t appears to The ADVERTISER that
the national Democracy must take one
of two roads: it must come back to the
old time conservative tariff reform and
sound business notions of Cleveland or
1t must openly become a radical labor
party far more extreme in principle
than even Bryan represents. 1t can
never win while it staggers blindly.
The Democrats of the South will
never go into a laborlpg mans party.
The interests of the Southern cotton
planters are wholly opposed to the un-
ion labor party of the North.
Most of the wage canning people are
negroes. Most of the Southern people
are employers OF labor. Every man
who owns a one horse farm is mainly
interested to produce cheaply end to
sell high. He does not wish the farm
laborer to earn o dollar q day. A la
boring mans party would inevitably
fight for high wages for whites and
blacks alike.

The Meeting Of the Farmers.
Laurens, S. O.,Noy. 9,

Laurens, S. O., Nov. Q, 1908.
A large and most enthusiastic meeting
of representative farmers was held in the
court house today in answer to a call is
sued a week ago for the purpose of con-
sideriug the advance in the price of fer
~tilizers.
Ex-senator Fuller presided, and Jared
ID. Sullivan acted as secretary. After
reading the call and after extended re-
marks by the Chairman, urging the us-
cessity for some action, the following
resolutions were introduced, and after be-
ing spoken to with much interest by Sen
ator Goodwin, Representatives Nichols,
Cooper and Irby, Jared ID. Sullivan,
Judge Thompson and Maj. M. HI. Fer
guson, they were unanimously passed
Resolved, That q committee be raised
to be composed Of one member from
each Township, to be named by the
Chairman Of this meeting, which said
committee shall be charged with the
duty If making inquiry upon the follow
ing points:
/. Will there be an advance la the
price of Commercial Fertilizers for the
season OF l933-1904. Ii so, the extent of
such increase; and upon what grounds
do these companies justify such advance.
2. III your committee find that the price
of those goods are to be raised. and they
are unable to find sufficient reason or
cause for such advance, then to suggest
what action, if any, should be taken by
the farmers.
3. That this committee. be instructed
to report their findings to an adjourned
meeting to Do held on the goth day Of
November, 1908; and
4. Pending further action, and until
further advised, it is earnestly recon-
mended that every farmer in Laurens
County use every effort, by reducing
acreage and in every other way practi-
cable, to curtail the use of commercial
fertilizers.
8. That the farmers of all sections of
the State are respectfully and earnestly
asked to cooperate with us in this mat
ter. and that State and County papers
are required to publish these proceed
ings.
In addition to the above resolutions,
the following was also pass ed:
Resolved, That any action that may
be taken by this meeting upon the fer
tilizer question is not intended, nor must
be construed as an effort to encourage or
justify any party in failing or refusing
to meet his bona fide obligations incurr-
ed for fertilizers during the current year.
But that such obligations are held to be
sacred and binding aud should be hon
estly meet.
The following representative farmers
werc appointed under the resolutions as
a committee Hon. o. P. Goodwin, Hon.
r. w. Nichols, j. Andy Jones, G.. c..
Hopkins, w. B. Fuller, H. Y. Simmons,
G. w. L. league, w. p. Harris, Jared
d. Sullivan.
The meeting was composed of repre-
sentative men, and there was evipced a
strong determination to- make this fight,
if necessary, to the bitter end.

"Remember, sir, that 1 regard your

on the ship! Those men must not be

"They shall not be" answered Payne
resolutely. "If the ship goes down,

There was n harsh oar below.
Oaths, curses, imp~recations and cries
were blasted up from the deck be-

A hoarse cheer which resounded
throughout the dim recesses of the

ter murmurs had forced the men to do

latent rebellion, but in the presence of
the enemy these men, whose passion
1t was to fight, forgot their personal
grievances and, mindful of the finish
ed Skill and superhuman courage OF
their captain, looked favorably upon
him and eagerly anticipated the con

these, flew up and down the line be-

in rapid review.
The watches had been piped to sup

The Best Wheat Only Used,

A bull or bear market has nothing to
do with the selection of the wheat
from which Brausford's "Clifton"
flour is made. 1t requires the BEST
wheat to keep the flour up to its stand
ard, and 1t is bought regardless of the
price. The reputation of "Clifton"
flour has been gained by fifteen years
of uniform excellence.

First Cost Not the Cheapest.

The first cost of an article does not
necessarily determine it's ~cheapness.
For instance, q sack of "Clifton" flour
may cost you q little more than other
so-called patent nours, but 1t will be
cheaper to you in the End. Why? Be-
cause it will not only make more bread
to the sack, but take less lard and soda
to make 1t. Order a sack of "Clifton"
and make o test for yourself. 1t will
prove the truth of this statement. e.
