A Good Year.

Enough is known to make the asser-
tion safe that the South has produced
fine cotton crop this year. In our
judgment, the crop will prove decid-
edly larger than last years corp.i
The hay and corn crops have been
better in this region than they com
monty are. The fruit crop has been
good.
Cotton is bringing "profit" price
not the price that we would like, say
dollar the pound, but such price as
makes its production worth while.
Barring accidents and misfortunes
applying to individuals, the farmer
who cannot make "ends meet" this
year simply cannot farm. At any rate,
it is just as well to face the situation
and confess that if one cannot make
farming pay this year, one had best try
something else. Some men who can't
farm make fair lawyers. Others who
can't farm try to run newspapers.
The world contains excellent school
teachers who have thrown away their
lives on farms. The most successful
politicians that we have known botched
their farming operations but learned
to howl In most alarming and win
ming way. We are not, we dare say
likely to have on the whole better
year than this. We believe, moreover,
that industrious and intelligent farmers
who calmly look back over the year
and count the results will conclude
that this is q blessed country to work
and live in and that reasons are
abounding for encouragement and
thankfulness.
Human conditions are such that the
great majority Of men must remain
poor. Men are not born equal. Some
are ADLER and more vigorous than 9th
ers. There are men who can and do
earn honestly ten thousand dollars and
more each. Many receive such salaries
because sorne other men need their
force and talent. Such men grow
rich. They are few. If they we're
numerous they would not command
large salaries. 1t is wrong and useless
to envy the exceptionally gifted
Those who do their b:st and utilize
their resources and who do not waste
their endowments, and so succeed in
meeting their obligations to their fam
lies and their follows and slowly and
even painfully building up modest
Independence has every reason to be
satisfied. 1t Is the man who far down
in his heart carries the half buried and
half hidden consciousness that he has
failed becaussyhe deserved to fail who
most complains at his lot and is most
disposed to find a scapegoat upon
which to load his com plants.
This is a good country and those
who are doing their full duty as indus
trious and law-abiding and who at the
same time have the average share OF

Lawyers and Judges.

All over South Carolina the cry is
eing raised that the lawyers are able
to defeat the ends of justice; that they
are responsible for the laws delays and
that they have destroyed the conf.
dence of the people in the courts.
The ralying cry of the political revo-
lution in this State ii years ago WAS
"Down with the lawyers and let the
people rule" Meanwhile most of the
hiRbminded and really strong lawyers
In the State We're showed into the back
ground to make room for yocuger law
yers, some of whom have developed i'm
to worthy leaders and some of whom
! have proven less capable than even
then predicted.
The PEOPLE elected to the governor
ship "a man of the people," oae Ttll-
man. He soon instituted a "moral
institution" and followed it with
lot of letters from town inten-
dsnts u few months later establishing
TO his own satisfaction that crimes of
violence were on the decrease. Curl
Gus to say, although he was governor
for some time af.er, he ceased to ask
questions. None of his successors have
attempted to fortify the dispensary law
with facts and figures concerning
crimes. The truth is that this Till
man was and is preacher of violence
and prolific instigator OF bloodshed
which he well knows aud scarcely de.
MES.
After what has happened in the
politics of South Carolina we think it
rather severe that the down-trodden
and discredi,ed should be held re-
sponsible for ell this deviiment. AS a
general rule the lawyers in Laurens
county have to 'sing low" and are
eyed with suspicion. If lawyer at
tain to prominencs nowadays, it is in
spite of his profession and not on ac-
count of it. No, we cannot lay the
blame on the lawyers.
However, w. 81. Wallace or JOS
hua Ell. Hudson on the bench was
able in the old days to keep even the
unscrnpulous lawyer within the
bounds OF decency. There are some
Judges of this character on the bench
now. There may be others who trem.
BILE lest they be not reelected. The truth
is that we shall never have high
class judiciary so long as Judge is In
danger of defeat at the end of each
four years. For saying this we shall
probably be charged with slandering
the people by suggesting that they
should not be left to select their off,
GERS In this Democratic land. In 1898
we believed that the turning out to
grass of various Judges was an error
which the State would sorrow for.
Although most of the Judges who are
on the bench now are not our political
friends we believe that they should be
reelected as long as they behave with
even moderately good manners. We
earnestly desire that the people learn
that it is unsafe to tamper with the
judiciary. The bench should have no
part in politics and politics should
have no part with the bench. In time
we shall have no Judges who fear the
influence of the lawyers; provided the
Judges find that they are "to be let
alone"

Sees a Vast Land Output.

A circular sent out by a large and
respectable London house, predicts an
annual output from the Rand before
long of E50,OOO,OO0- The best record
for all South Africa is f16,5 500, 900.
1T is reckoned that five years after
the resumption of FORMAL conditions
some $4,000 stamps-four times the
present quantity-will be at work, and
that the gold mines of the Rand alone
could by that time employ 10000 adj
ditional skilled white and 100000 adj
ditional unskilled colored laborers.
The mining companies in which this
company is mainly interested have at
present only SO per cent of the unskill-
ed laborerS required, to say nothing
of the number which will be necessary
when the expected considerable ex-
pansion Of the Rand industry takes
place.
within the next ten years-given
favorable conditions-the output NAV
increase to as much as ESQ, 1000 per
annum. Just as the flow of gold re-
sulting from the Rand's large produc-
ton in 1898 and 1899 had a markedly
beneficial effect upon the worlds
money markets, it is probable that the
considerable advance we confidently
expect as soon as we have secured a
plentiful supply of unskilled labor
will, in a much more accentuated form,
benefit the world at large and foster
trade, and industry"

ment is accompanied by offer of

TRADE OF SOUTH AFRICA.
Marked Increase in the Use of Goods
Made in America.

Marked Increase in the Use of Goods
Made in America.
With the establishment Of peace in
South Africa and an influx Of capital
in that section a prosperous recon
struction period appears to have been
inaugurated and the United States Is
gaining the lions share in supplying
the numerous commodities now being
imported. The extraordinary growth
of the American trade in this direction,
says the New York Tribune, is shown
by a statement compiled for the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, which shows
that exports from the United States to
Africa have grown from $4,000. 900 in
1892 to $33 900 in 1902 and in the
seven months of the fiscal year 1908,
for which reports are available, were
nearly $3,000,000 in excess Of those of
the corresponding months Of the fiscal
year 1902. Official figures just received
show that the imports into Natal in
1902 amounted to $685. 900, against
S50,000,000 in 1901, and those into Cape
Colony $4,000, 900 in 1902, against
$3.50, 600, 900 in 1901. This makes the
total importations into Natal and Cape
Colony in 1902 $245, 100000 in round
terms, against $17O. 900 in 1901.
This increase in the importations
into the South African colonies Is not
merely a recovery from the depression
Of the war period, but is an actual and
large gain over conditions which exist
ed prior to that time.
Africa seems likely to prove in the
near future a better field than South
America for the exporters Of the Unit
ed States. To South America Ameri-
can exports grew from $33, 1000 in
1892 to $3.50 900 in 1902, an increase
Of $5,0OO,O00; while to Africa, as al
ready indicated, they increased from
$5,00O,0O0 in 1892 to $50, 100000 in
1902, a gain of $2S, 900.
The following table shows the prin-
cipal articles exported from the United
States to British Africa in the fiscal
years 1892 and 1902:
