South Carolina has ceased to be corn customer The value of the years crop is estimated at S22, ,50O,- 900. The total value of these two crops is about $100,000, 1000, more than $30,000,000 being net profit, and only 5,OOO,0OO of South Caro- lina's 2O,0OO,0O0 acres are planted in cotton and corn.
 South Carolina's cotton mills vii consume, at present prices, some where between $45,000,000 and $50,000,000 worth of raw cotton this year-or exceeding 700,O0O bales, for while producing large quantity of cotton in proportion to area and population this is the larg- est cotton manufacturing state in South and second only to Massachu- sets.

The change in industrial condi- tions since 1890 is no less remarka- ble than the political transforma- tion. The temper of the people is not the same There is no trace of Populism or Socialism. These ele- ments then conspicuous, have dis appeared. There is not a newspap- CT Tn the state inclined to Social ism, nor is there a community in which municipality or government ownership is advocated or agitated. South Carolina and Tennessee are the only states touched by the South ern railway system which have not attempted the regulation of railroad rates.
 While the sensational lectures in distant states may give the impress ion that the races here are on the verge of war, nothing is more er- roneous. Nowhere is there less evil dence of unrest, nowhere less lilli- hood of trouble or conflict. Influen- tial whites are continually demand ing square deal for the negro, and this evidence of spirit of jus tice has inspired negro leaders to

WILL PURCHASE
 DAVIS HOME So Decided by the Commit tee Appointed by the Or phan Brigade at Louis vile Meeting.
ARTICLES OF
 INCORPORATION
Membership Fee Is Fixed at SI. and
 Home Will Be Purchased and Con.
 verted Into Park-Gen. Simon E. Bnckner President of Association.

Louisville, Ky, Sept, 2S.--Plans to purchase the birthplace of Jeffer- son Davis, the first and only presi- dent of the Southern Confederacy, and convert it into a memorial park are being discussed by special committee appointed by Captain John C.. Weller, commander of the Orphan brigade at the Seelbach. Gen. Simon Boliver Buckner, who suggested the purchase of the site, is chairman of the commmttee, and he came up from his home at Glen Lily to preside at the meeting.
 The members of the committee are: Gen. Buckner, Capt J. T. Gaines, Capt. George C. Norton and Thomas D. Osborne fo Louis vile, and Capt s. A. Cunningham of Nashville. Tenn, all of whom are present at the meeting Gen. Buclner said before the meeting that the ovement will be success ful, and that the birthplace of the
 Southern statesman would even- tually be park or at least proper ly reserved
 The suggestion that we purchase the birthplace of Jefferson Davis and preserve it has been we'll re- ceived by old Confederate soldiers everywhere" said Gen. Buckner.
 Capt. Cunningham, Capt. Norton, Capt. Gaines and MT. Norton are all enthusiastic over the project and believe that the movement will be successful. MT. Osborne said that he had every reason to be en- cOuraged as a number of persons who were we'll able to assist in the movement had proffered their SUD- port.
 The old home place of Jefferson Davis is located at Fairview, Todd county, not a great distance from Hopkinsville. The house in which the famous southerner was born was recently torn down to make way for a Baptist church. The peo- pie of Todd county are interested in the movement to preserve the old place and have offered financial aid.

SOME REFLECTIONS
 ON THE MATTER {!
Socialism and POpulism Said to Be Blotted Out and the Negro Is Being Treated Justly-SOme Facts About Dispensary System.

Columbia, s. C., Sept, 2S.-The
 state of South Carolina is finally out of the liquor business. On the 1 of last February there was in the warehouse in this city about s700,- 900 worth of liquors belonging to the state When at that time the legislature determined to abolish the system commission was creat- ed to close up the business, and the last lot has just been sold. So,
 after fourteen years one month and
 fifteen days the Palmetto brand
 is known no more.
 This was the first experiment of
 government ownership" in South
 Carolina, and the fruits have been
 such that it is likely to be the last
 for many years. Neither municipal
 ity nor state is likely to embark up-
 on that sea while the memory of
 the state dispensary lives as a ''ter-
 rible warning' Advocates of the
 system promised that the dispensary
 profits would eliminate state taxes. That was an unrealized dream. The thing got into politics and stayed there; and the corruption was so appalling that the strenuous person. al efforts of Senator Tillman could not stem the tide of revolt.
 According to predictions of the friends who stick to the sinking ship South Carolina. six months after the whisky revenue was cut off, should be financially embarrassed. The ac- tual condition is confusing to the friends of state control. The indi- cated cotton yield is 100000 bales and this, together with the seed, for which oil mills are clamoring, will fetch the producters something like $7S,OOO,OOO or about $14,OOO,0OO more than the value of any previous cotton crop produced in this state. The year will also be remarkable for its corn production. The partial adoption of a new method of corn developed by scientific South Carolina farmer, has result ed in a great increase in yield, 1t will be bad news to the west that
