A few ol our friends have
heeded our necessities and
cine ui) with the money' for
past-due subscriptions, but
there are hundreds on our list
who could pay at least some
if not all, and by so doing
they wou’d cancel an honest
debt, and help the manage
ment to meet honest debts
which must be incurred to
run a newspaper. How people
can read newspapers for years
and get their conscience’ ron-
sent never to pay the editor
a cent is a question we can’t
solve. There is a punish
ment hereafter for such de
linquents which will be hotter
than any burning words of
censu; e this editor can write.
DAVID B. HILL’S SPEECH.
Fbani e is not nearly so Tvar-Iiko as
»lio set-ins to be. The Fashotla storm
will soon blow over.
It is stated that Hanna has contrib
uted $20,000 from the republican fund
for use in North Carolina
Tiib pciiqo commissioners at Paris
m«y wrangle so long that both sides
will forget what it is all abont.
It will cost $12,000 to repair the
Brooklyn, bnt the naval board swears
that Cervera “never touched hor.”
David B. Hill spoke with the old-
time ring in his voice in Brooklyn the
other night. The clap-trap and dema
gogy of the republicans in appealing
for Totes on the grounds that the pres
ident must be supported was well set
forth. He said the democrats had
▼led with the republicans in voting
supplies to carry on the war, giving
blind approval to the administration,
whether right or wrong, because war
was on. “That duty having been
abundantly- discharged," he 6aid,
“there is now no obligation resting
upon anybody to sustain the National
Administration, unless we really ap
prove its policy. It is no impeachment
of the loyalty or patriotism of the peo
ple that they dcclino to condono the
incompetency, the negligence, the fa
voritism and the corruption which
characterized the conduct of some of
the departments of the government,
and especially since the close of tbo
war, resulting in much privation,
suffering and death, saddening the
glorious memories of the conflict and
demanding an official fikvestigation.”
The paramount issue in tho present
campaign in New York, lie contended,
was honest government, that the glo
ries of the war did not belong to any
political party and should nut be in
jected into this campaign, but that if
tho republicans insisted on claiming
all the glory the democrats stood ready
to compare records. He then pointed
out tbo position of Mr. McKinley to
ward Cuba, the position of Mr. Hanna
- “fresh from his senatorial triumph
at Columbus, purchased by bribery
and corruption’'- and the position of
all the republican leaders in Washing
ton who refused to even consider the
Cuban question at all, and that the
“steady, persistent and determined
efforts of tho democratic minority to
force the Cuban question to the front,
aided by the powerful democratic press
of the country nnd backed by the pa
triotic sentiment of the people, until
at last their efforts were crowned with
success and n halting and reluctant
administration was forced to inaugu
rate a war in behalf of humanity nnd
civilization to which it was at heart
opposed. Nashville American.
HITS UPON A BRIGHT PLAN.
DOLLARS ARE RATHER HIGH.
Naval Constructor Hobson will bo
in Philadelphia for tbo peace eelebra
tion, after which bo will roturn at once
to Cuba.
Thibtukn Georgia counties are oper
ating dispensaries. Aud yet some
(oiks profess to believe 12 an unlucky
nnniber.
Thebe is nothing like claiming
everything in sight. Croker claims
that tho democrats will carry tho state
of New York by 100,000 majority.
On October 1st, betting iu Now York
was 2 to 1 ou Roosevelt. It is now an
even bet nnd it is said that one bet has
been mado of 2 to 1 qn Van Wyek.
The Washington Star calls attention
to tho fact that the goverumeut did
not advertise “all the comforta of
home” when it called for reeruits.
Tns Sparta Isbmaelite says:" There
ought to bo a reform of the pension
system iu Georgia. No one uot abso
lately indigent should draw a pension.”
Three companies ofjliay’s regiment
have sent to Senator Bacon a petition
asking to bo returned to the U mted
States. They declare tlmtjthey do not
wish to'stay there and die.
The former Spanish warship, Maria
TereBa, sunk by tbo American fleet off
Santiago, ou July 3, aud raised by Na
val Constructor Hobson, will sail for
the United States Thursday.
Sin Hestsert Kitchener, who is now
conspicuous as a soldier, is an accom
plished ^engineer as well. He has
made 'thorough surveys of Palestine,
and his published reports are accepted
aa authoritative.
A decision lias been hauded down in
Ohio which gives the relatives of the
victim of a lynching bee $.”,,000 dama
ges against the county in which the
affair was palled off. If this verdict
is snstained by the higher court Judge
Lynch will donbtleas begin to consid
er the advisability of going ont of
business. . .
At present our dollars nro rather
high to become popular, thinks the
Texas Farm and Ranch. “If a farmer
wants one of these coins ho must pay
for it 22 pounds of cotton, 2 bushels of
wheat, 21 bushels of corn, or 3 bushels
of oats. This is about twice as much,
all around, as a dollar cost a few years
ago, while the labor of producing tbe
products mentioned is about the
same.”
It is said in Richmond that Gen.
Fitzbngh Leo will not enter tbo race
for senator against Senator Martiu.

The Montgomery Jonrnal says that
Mr, Legrand, a farmer-banker of that
city, is a large laud owner which he
rents* to negroes on the usual terms,
bat ou condition that they shall use
oxen instead of mules as plough ani
mals. He claims to have learned by
experience that the ox is more profit
able, as ho grazes at night and needs
no corn; will cultivate as much land
as the negro has tho ability to work;
at odd times the latter will not mount
the animal and gallop off to tbe big
meetiu’ at night and thas sacrifice tho
time for sleep, and the result is that
the tenant with the ox ia more content
ed, enjoys better health, works more
stesdily, and, not having to buy corn
to keep a mule, be has a smaller debt
to pay for ’vances out of his cotton
crop. Of a verity, the world moves.
GETTING SCARED IN NEW YORK.
Tbo republicans aro getting fright
ened in New York. Cbauncey Depew
tried co stir up tbe boys the other
night 111 his speech by declaring, “If
wo lose tho election this fall, it means
tho loss not only of the state, but of
congress and of a United States sena
tor from Now York.” Tho Augusta
Chroniclo thinks ho might have gono
further and declared also the loss of
the president in l'JOO.
Many men of the First Georgia regi

AN EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY.
FARMERS ARE OFFERING TONS
OF FINE HAY FOR SALE.
Having an Immense Surplus of the
Largest Crop Ever Harvested In
Sumter—One Lot of 400
Bales Offered.
When the farmers are prosperous
all lines of business feel tbe impetus,
aud while the cotton crop this year is
being sacrificed the enormous yield of
bay will to some extent make np tho
monetary deficit.
The amount of hay stored away iu
big burns here this fall cannot be esti
mated, amounting in the aggregate to
tuousauds of tons, for never in the
history of Sumter oounty has such a
crop beon grown. Every farmer has
enough for hia own use and plenty to
spare, and wagon loads ot baled hay
arc as frequently seen upon tho streets
of Americus as wagon loads of cotton.
As evidenceof this Mr. B. II. .Tossoy,
who has u large plantation iu the 1.1th.
district, offered for sale yesterday 400
bales of the finest pcavine aud crow
foot hay, and obtained a satisfactory
price for the lot. This represented
ins surplus crop only, as bis barns aro
filled with a quantity sufficient to last
him well into next spring and summer.
Many farmers in Sumter county have
gathered and packed as many us two
thousand bales eseb, a large portion of
which they will sell during the winter
when prices rule higher.
Tho great bulk of the crop is put np
in uniform, merchantable bales, which
in the aggregate represent many thous
and dollars
When lo this is added the valuo of
tho largest and finest crop of sugar
caue mado here in twenty years, to
say nothiug of potatoes and smaller
crops, and an abundant meat supply
in prospect, tho people of thissectioD,
rightly termed the “Egypt of Georgia,”
will have nothing to complaiu of on
the score of something to eat. Only
the low price of cotton, tho great
“money crop.” troubles Sumter’s
farmers now.

Tho negroes, frightened out of their
