Have a purpose in Hie, and, having1 it? throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as .God has given you.-CAR LYLE. The old Advertiser salutee ' the rejuvenated old Edg?field .Rifles and wishes them a very success ful and brilliant career. . Wfcile the matter of securing lower Pullman car rates is in the courts, wouldu't it be a-good idea to "amend the complaiLt" and ask for a reduction of tips also. Dispatches tell us that floods arn raging and the boll weevils are multiplying in Texas. Thc out look for the South.CaroliDa "cot toi -tofu" is not 60 very bad, after all. South Carolina has a pro minent place in the Jamestown picture. Several distinguished persons who are. capable of judging, among them being Hon. William Jen nings Bryan, have pronounced the Palmetto state's exhibit to be among the best at the Exposi tion. Great preparations are being made for the entertainment of the newspaper men at the Isle of Palms next week, among them being a royal fiehiug excursion. "We want to see Brother Bacon catch that famous Charleston whale. The unusually large number of young men and young women who areJhis year receiving diplomas from the schools and colleges au gurs well for the future of the country. This liberty-lovi?g laud will never go to the bow-wows, as some calamity criers have pre dicted, as loug as we have educa ted roeu and women as home builders. We mean, educated in the broadest and fullest sense mind, heart and body. An Accommodating Board. Jt seems that Charleston's coun ty dispensary board has endeavor ed to mest the requirements and suit the tastes of each individual patron of the dispensary. There DOW on sale in the Charlestun 'dispensaries "one hundred and .eighty-odd varieties of whiskies, gins,' brandies, wines, and othei liquors." And still there are cer tain kinds of liquors for wbicr. there is some demand on whicl no bids have been submitted U the. board. These will be pur chased later. Tigers that can ex ist in the face of such competi tion are a peculiar breed an< must have nine lives. Pythian Sanitarium. At the meeting of the Grant Lodge of the Knights of Pythia in Anderson last week, it ?<'as de cided to unite with the Pythian of North Carolina in the estab lishment of a sanitarium .for th two Carolinas in which the sic in their ranks, including widow and orphans, could be treater.' This is a very praiseworthy undej taking. One that should not onl receive the hearty support of tb members of the Order but the cc operation and ^well-wishes of th uninitiated also. By estabhehio orphan asylums, sanitariums an other kindred institutions, Fri ternal Orders enter upon a larg? sphere ol usefulness, the blessing that accrue fron them being c longer confined to their immed ate membership. An Unjust Discrimination. The Advertiser believes that e: set justice, as far as possibl should be meted out by constit ted authority, whether dealii i with individuals or with corpor tions. The State board of equal zation bas raised the assessi valuation of railroad property 100 per cent, or the market valu Heretofore, it has iu ?he sggr -gate been 32 mi'lions of dolla in this state, while now it is 1 millions. Cotton mills, oil mil! fertilizer factories, banks, real e tate and personal property are r turned for tnxatiou on a basis 60 per cer t, while railroad prop? ty is returned at 100 per cent Ti: is a manifest dit-crimit.fctii against the latler. The Advertiser favors tho e actmeut of laws to curb and co troJ corporations and advoca* the enforcement of tho-e laws the Jotter, but at the same iii we believe all corporations shou be dealt with justly. Detectives Doing Good Work. One of the many annoyances .t merchants experience it the paking open and stealing of eight while in transit. The box ir thief' being no respecter of erchants, will break into a case ; dry goods or shoes as quickly i he-will a case of groceries or uit. And they become bolder and arder to satisfy as the months ass. Thieves of this class used to ppropriate one pair of shoes from case but now it requires -several airs lo satisfy them. A few Tackers or ginger-Bnaps used to atisfy their hunger but now it re uires in some instances half a ?ox. It is eucoursging and grati ying, however, to see that the ailroad detectives are doing some ;ood work along this lin?. The lailv papers have recently con ained accouuts of a number of irrests of box-car thieves. Maj heir tribe speedily b'.come "*x inct. Very Short Sighted Policy. Corporations, like individuals, viii sometimes do very foolish ;hiog8. Iostead of filling thpir ?varehouses first-hand from tb? .vagons of the producers* we havp mown South Carolina cotton mills to wait, till the rush ol'th*1 marketing season was over, aftpr raw material had become scarce, and tben ship cotton from Louiei aua, paying a higher price for the staple besides the freight. This seems to he a very shortsighted policy, but a Georgia mill has capped-the-climax by ordering 500 bales of cotton from Liver pool. If a. dividend can be made by paying two cents above the market to get cotton from Liver pool, think of what could- have been mad9 had the cotton been purchased at the prevailing price la6t fah. Furthermore, had the Georgia mill supplied its needs at tbat time the farmers of that vicinity would doubtless have been benefit ted. s e, ti lg a li >d to e. e License Law Needed. Seeing the need of such a law, this newspaper has for some years advocated the enactment of a marriage license law. While thp prevailing sentiment in the pas* has been opposed to such a law, it ?B now steadily growing iu favor. The day is not far distant in Sooth Carolina when some offi cial record will bo made of all marriage, sand liceus?8 will be is i83ued therefor/ The conduct of a notary public who resided io this state, near the North Cai o?ina line, very pointed ly and forcibly illustrates the need of a license law. A marriage license being . required in North Carolina, it was the habit of all sorts and conditions of couples, especially runaway couples, to come over the line into this state and have "'Squire" Bailes tie the knot. He married them without let or hindrance, never refusing any who'had the fee-it mattered not how teuder their ages or what pa rental objections existed. This promiscuous knot-tyiuj became a nuisance and a menac( to?oeiety iu Charlotte and Meek lenburg county. H?uce, an out raged people became so enrag?e that petitions were presented t< Governor Hey ward asking tba Bailes' commission as notary bi taken from him, which waB done But he did not etop. It is alleget that Bailee, ap. a private citizec continues to marry ruu-awa; North Carolina couples. The peo pie of that vicinity are said to b indignant because this ex-notar recently "officiated" at a forcet marriage, the woman alleging tha coercion was used to make he marry the mao. A properly framed marriage li cense law would make sucb cor ditious, as above set forth, impoi sible in South Carolina. Ed^efield Rifles Enlisted. This Historic Old Company Rt ceived into the State Militia by Gen. Boyd. A largely attended and ver enthusiastic meeting of the Edg( field. Rifle Company was held i the opera house on Thursda evening last.

'Th0 Dick w is very exacting id this par ;ulnr and rf quires the commis Diied officers to give their per nal bond for th ip property. One frature of that buga-boc, e Dick law, that the ?o:dier boy? ?artily euddrse, is .that of com il6ory target practice. The mil i a of this stat* neuves *36,000 muallv from the national ap ropriation, and the law requirpp lat $9,000, oue-fourth of thip aiounl, shall he expended in tar ?t practice.

Th- cotton of Peru is p;i?uliar. It grows upon a bush, and it' closely resembles wool. Not a pound of it, the dealers declare, ever goes into a cotton m ll, al though 20,000' 'bales come tn this country every year. It ap pears to be consumed by manu facturers who find advantage in making pait-cotton fabrics look like all-wool goods.
