Kcjiorts from thc northwest point
to the largest yield of wheat over
grown, which means cheaper flnur.
San Krancisco authorities are he
coming alarmed at tho probability of a
reduction in relief supplies, and say
heavy shipments will bc needed fur
weeks.
It is sai ?1 t li at. Hobson, thc hero of
thc Mer-Mila'.;, wiio han just been
nominated for Congress in his His
triet. i.-> trying to work up a Presiden
tial boom, and is laying his wires to
become the Democratic nominee.
In tlte grain trade American fanners
are still iucrca/og their output year
ly, and adding strength to our claim
to bc called thc granary of thc world.
In 11105 750,000,000 bushels of grain
poured into twelve primary griin mar
kets, to bo distributed again to all
comers of thc globe. American grain
is today fighting to supplant rice
among tho Asiatics, and has already
partly displaced rye as the food staple
of the peasantry of Kurope. In a few
years loaves made of American grain j
will be indeed tho staff of lifo in every
country of Europo.

In thc twenty years, from 1879 to
1899, whilo this country's production ?
of ootton increased 140 por cent., its
consumption went up at an equal rate.
The rate of increase of consumption
in America has been very muoh loss,
however, during tho past six years,
reaching ouly twenty fivo per cent
from 1,854,000,000 pounds to 2,3'J'J,
000,000 poundB-whilo tho British
consumption of raw ootton during tho
samo period (from 1899 to 1905) roso
from 1,050,000,000 pounds to 2,597,
000,000 pounds, or almost sixty per
cent., placing Britain at the head of
cotton-consumi jg countries.
Ono hundred and fifty millions cf
dollars is a large sum for any industry
to earn in one year, and yet this sum,
great as it is, represents pot tho gross
earnings, but tho increased earnings
of the railroads in this country last
year, says The Philadelphia Tele
graph. What tho business of tho peo
ple of America amounts to may be
imagiood from the faot tht.l they paid
$150,000,000 more money for freight
charges in 1905 than they did in 1904.
Tt takes a great many tons of freight
at an (average ohargo of 1 per cent, per
?on per milo to pile up $150,000,000,
and that, as above noted, is not the
amount of business done, but merely
the inoreaso of that business io 1995
as compared with 1904. And ibo rail
roads oro1 ?not doing all the carrying
for the . ? American peoplo by a long
chalk. _ _
An exobange very truly says that
there is far too muoh negligence
everywhere about the small amounts
.- . of money. It??not infrequently hap
*' pena that men J.will bave a small
amount charged ?when they have suf
ficient money in their pockets to pay
it, and subjeot tho creditor to thc
trouble of sending, it for collection
When bo needs it, taking tho chances
pf learning that the dobtor is away
from his gplaco of business or from
Jiomo and ..?perhaps subjecting him to
tho imputation of being in a needless
hurry for payment, c More attention
to this point, and especially by those
io whom the payment is immaterial,
?ho can pey at ono timo a3 well as
another, would bea vast improvement
on the present mode of many persons
ia.doing business. The prompt pay
ment of emallibills is a matter of more
importance than is {generally attached
. to it.
A Woman's Club in Newwark, N.
J., recently ?bad under discus a ton the
question, "Wby are people poor?"
The answers to this question were in
ter cBtiog and suggestive. H?re are a
few of them,. in . condensed form:
Drink, laziness, the? tre e, oh argo ac?
r* . counts, inability to plan far ahoad, the
* desire to outshine oneV neighbors,,'
lavish display of goods by storekeep
ers, indifference of men to tho needs
of home, woman's ignorance of dc^'
mestie economy, high food pr iocs and
buy ing i ia small quantities, aud .tho
habit of do?og 'without necessities to
squander for luxuries. Tho . ladies
cannot be chargedjw i tb unfairness in
this list. Indeed, they havo been '
rather unjust to themselves. Maoy
of tho extravagancies they have
enumerated aro OD accounts chargea
ble to them. They have graciously
refrained from sarcasms, or even inti
? r mations, as tc^ the cost of cigare
clubs, lodges and thai insidious can*
ker cu iba ?>???onal treasury, "meeting
'/, men about town." fir tie opmes ?<>d

pleie.We, regard it as^ slwost grity
bus that the membera of this women's
v* lab should b?td studiously' omitted
mention of the allurements of tho t ar

Then there ure the dollar goods re
duced to ninety nine cents. It seems
o shanie not W buy them at the price.

which were adopted : , \
"Rb?oived^ That the Anderson. conW

or to get opinions that too often re- j
llevo them from consequences of
their wrong dolpg.
"Resolved, further, That this con
vention endorses tho democratic do- j
inand for a tariff for revnuo only, as
being a means toward preventing an |
accumulation of fabulous fortunes

icy of a high protective tariff, for

Homo-Grown Mules.
A Sumter county farmer a short
limo ago refused $175 cash for a 3-year
old home rai.-ed mulo that had not
been broken to harness. Tho cost of
raising tho wild was practically noth
ing, as it "just grew up around the
lot," BO to speak. This farmer keeps
ooc brood marc and raises a mule
ovory year, tho mare doing full work
ou the farm. Every farmer could do
tho same thing and hundreds of thou
s iuds of dollars would bo thereby kopt
ia South Carolina eaoh year. It is as
poor policy to have your stock farm in
tho Wost as to have your smoke house
and coru crib out there.-News and
Courier.
- Sarah Herring Sorrio, of Tucson,
Ariz., bas been admitted to practice

- The government instruments
showed that tho earthquake, wave
crossed the continent, from the Pa

half miles in a second; ' ?*
- Governor Hoyward proposes, to
Bee that the State bonds stolen from
tho office of the State Treasurer are
paid for. They were Stolen by a clerk
io tbe office it is claimed, and an effort,
will no doubt be made to force the
State Treasurer to pay for them. The
bonds were stolen during the-adminis
tration of W. T. C. Bates, Wi. H.
