Precautions TO Follow.

You can hardly put a sentence on
any advertising space without rapidly
hearing from it. OF course it is under
stood that you have something to Of
fer that is not only valuable, but some
thing that is needed. The merchant
must select his goods 20 fit his market.
He must not take fur overcoats and
wooden blankets to towns in the torrid
zone, or garden seeds and fans to the
arctic circle. Observing, therefore,
these common sense precautions. his
way and success are clear.

WHAT'S THE USE?

We look for a movement to or
ganize this State into Woodrow
Wilson clubs so that South Car
olina will send a Wilson delega-
ton to the national Democratic
convention, but we do not see the
necessity for such organizations,
inasmuch as we have the State
already organized into Demo
cratic clubs where the supporters
of the New Jersey governor can
get in their crochet work.
If Woodrow Wilson is the
choice of the Democracy of this
State, the clubs when they as
semble next Spring can make it
known, they will send delegates
to the convention which will
carry out their preference. The
organization Of clubs in the inter
est of any man is not needed, and
to attempt to get up these organ
izations will be construed as hav-
ing some other purpose; it has
been limited already that there is
a ground mole political method
at work in the State, men secret
ly going about setting their traps
to catch the unwary voters in the
primary to come off next sum.
mer, it is being kept quiet now,
but later it will be sprung to the
dismay of the other side. When
one side attempts to organize, it
invites organization, and the con
sequence is, that neither side ac-
complishes anything other than
to create strife.
The people of this State as a
whole are not losing any sleep
over who is to get the Democrat
ic nomination for President, they
have been reared in the belief
that it is heresy to even think
the Democratic party can make
a mistake in selecting a standard
bearer, therefore they will vote
and holler for the nominee. mat.
tiers not whether he represents
the interests Of Wall Street, the
Trusts, or what not. The noml-
nee may be as strong a Republi-
can as Grover Cleveland and yet
they will loyally obey the party
behest. so what's the use OF get
ting up any excitement in this
State over national politics:
There is not a man in public life
in South Carolina who would
dare to fight the nominee of d
Democratic convention, even if
he could prove beyond a doubt
that his nomination was purch.
ased by Wall Street and the Big
Trusts.
All Of US know that the Demo
cratic nominee stands no chance |

A SAD SPECTACLE.

It is deplorable to see in some
of the newspapers Of the State
so many communications endors-
ing the action Of the Anderson
mob that lynched a negro for a
horrible crime. Itwas bad enough
for the law to be ignored, but to
now give encouragement to
Iynching by publicly endorsing
it, in our Judgment, is bound to
have bad effect. And to make
a hero of the Hon. Josh Ashley
for having lead the lynching
party is worse than foolish; if
Josh Ashley is the hero some Of
the correspondents would make
of him, it is a good financial prop
osition to engage him for a sea-
son TO be exhibited over the coun-
try as "South Carolina's Hero.

year old negro alive, and with
the aid OF a large crowd armed
with shot guns K,I- LED Him. :"
The investment would only re-
quire an outlay of a few dollars
to purchase a tent with flaming
banners, and one good lusty
barker. There is no telling what
one would do if the crime for
which this negro boy was lynch
ed was brought home to him. but
if he was wrought up sufficiently
to take part in the laWlessly do

should at least prevent any
boasting.

ing meetings to uncork their
splendid eloquence, and make
bold promises, when this has
been done they have done their
patriotic duty, and old Cha'ston
goes on in the even tenor OF It's
peaceful way. But they now have
a proposition which may mean
more than one gathering, and
several speeches, together with
punches Of resolutions and prom
ises. There is in contemplation
the establishing of a racing meet
on an elaborate scale, the plant
will cost over a hundred thops-
and dollars, possibly the whole
investment will reach million,
because, if they succeed IN
launching the scheme without
legal interference, the racing
headquarters Of the United States
will be in Charleston. T he
scheme has the endorsement OF
many of the business as we'll as
a great many Of the professional
men, but there are others, not
ably the ministers, and both Of
the editors Of the newspapers
published in that city, who are
fighting it. The club was char.
tered by the Legislature several
years ago; the present governor
who was at that time a senator,
foreseeing the consequences OF
such legislation, secured the
adoption of an amendment which
prohibited betting on the races;
but when the bill! got into free
conference the auti-betting clause
was stricken out, and the jockey
club secured its charter as OF

This racing scheme was per

A GOOD SUGGESTION IF HEEDED.

Hon. John l.. McLaurin, for
merly United States Senator,
who perhaps, is one of the larg-
est planters in the State. has
given up a large law practice to
devote himself exclusively to
farming, owning extensive areas
of land he naturally is intensive
Ely interested and concerned in
the present situation. Mr.. Nc
Laurin publishes a letter which,
if needed throughout the cotton
BELT, will we believe, have a ben
eticial effect on the price. He has
been a student OF cotton culture
and the marketing of it for many
years, it was because of his zeal
in the interest Of the cotton grow
ers of the South, that political
jealousies were engeadered, and
his enemies succeeded in catch
ing the ear Of the masses so that
he retired from politics and, he is
now devoting himself to the de-.
veloping his large land holdings.
When a man like this comes to
the front and volunteers his ad-
vice to his fellow farmers, they
should give listening ear. He
does not come forth with a blare
OF trumpets with a dictum but
rather appeals to the business
sense Of the masses.
There is to be a conference Of
the Governors on the 30th, and
we should like to have South
Carolina represented in this con-
ference, should the governor not
be able to go in person we sug-
gest that he ask Mr.. McLaurin to
attend, as his substitute. We feel
sure Mr.. McLaurin would accept
the governors invitation with
great pleasure. because we know
him so well, his services can be
commanded at any time and TO go
anywhere when the welfare Of the
southern farmer is involved.
Senator McLaurin is one OF the
best qualified men to go into an
advisory body to devise a means
to check the cotton price depres-
sion that we know of in the State.
and we should be very much
eratitied If Governor Blease will
invite him to attend the confer
ence on the 30th. The following
is the letter McLaurin has given
to the press:

Candidate Hughes is a believer
in printers ink judging from the
way he is using the advertising
columns Of The News and Cour
ier in the interest of his candi-
dacy for Mayor of Charleston.
The method employed by Mr..
Hughes to communicate with the
voters Of that city is TO be COM
mended, would that all candi

for what he wants through the
columns of the press without
placing himself under obligations
