Hall, of I..aureus, one ol the brightest newspaper men in the Stale, has decided to go hack into journalism and has accepted the position of oil\ editor of the Jacksonville ( Phi. i '/"?'s I'nion. Mr. Hall is well equipped for this work, and will no doubl take the front, rank in Florida journal ism. Ai'ter a suspension of two weeks the Oca nee Xeus lias again made its ap pearance at Seneca. Mr. P. C. Vernor announces his retirement from the editorial chair and is succeeded by Mr. I). A. Smith, dr., of Walhalla. We ex tend Mr. Smith the right hand of fel lowship and wish him much success. Here's another instance of McKinley prosperity. The antracitc coal miners of Pennsylvania, about M5,000 in num ber, were ordered to go on a strike last week. Their wages are not large enough to meet the increased cost of living, and theironlv hope of bettering their conditions is in quitting work un til the coal barons right wrongs and increase pay. And labor's chance to win is not gilt edged. - _ mm -tM There is considerable difference of opinion just now as to the future price of cotton. Some seem to think it has reached its highest mark for this sea son, while- others argue that on account of the short crop, Texas storm ami for other reasons it will go higher or re main firm. It is beyond question that the farmers are masters of the situa tion, and we believe they are wise enough to look out as to how they sell. "Whether it will advance or not is hard to tell, but from present indications we hardly see how it can go below the present price. In the general election in November there are two constitutional amend ments to be voted upon by the people. Both are most important ones. The first is to insert n clause in the consti tution that will permit Columbia, Charleston, Hock Hill and Georgetown to issue additional bonds with which to obtain sewerage, etc. The other relates to the drainage and reclaiming of swamp lands in the State. Both these measures have received the ne cessary two-third vote in the General Assembly. If tho people approve them they must then receive tho same vote in the General Assembly before they can become of effect. The municipalities of this country owe it to themselves and the happiness of tho thrifty, law-abiding classes of their respective communities to enforce the vagrant law against all who are found idling about without good and lawful reasons for so doing or substan tial funds to auwer for their useless leisure. From this vngraut list comes nearly all the petty thieving and other lawless acts that fill the court calendars and add expense to the accounts of city and county that must be met by the taxpayers. Just here we would say that there are more idle, useless ne groes roaming around in this country than there are of any other poor race of people on the face of the earth. This state of affairs is unjust to the working, law-abiding class of colored people who are compelled to be judged in many instances along with the worthless idlers who have brought, and are constantly bringing, reproach upon their race, for they have told us so, and will hail with pleasure any movement that will stop the loitering on corners. The talk in some of the newspapers of the State about doiug away with the Democratic primary elections is sheer nonsense. Anderson County, wo know, would never favor such action. If fraud and sharp tricks are practiced in some counties, let the guilty parties be arrested and punished to the full ex tent of the law. Each County Execu tive Committee should sec that only upright, honest men are appointed managers of the election. Anderson County pursues such a course, and as a consequence there has never been even a suspicion of fraud or sharp tricks in any of our primaries. In this connec tion we would say that we believe the State campaign meetings should be omitted. One meeting in each Con gressional District would be sufficient. Under the present arrangement a poor man cannot be a candidate fot a State office, for the reason that a tour of the entire State is too expensive. And then the meetings do no good. They tend only to stir up strife and bitter feeling, and tho majority of the candi dates use no legitimate arguments in their speeches, but resort to personal birse of each other. t A vaw, mellow apple is digested ia an hour and one half. The twenty sixth annual ineeling of the South Carolina Stale Pi vs.? A s so ?-i.ition was held ;.t Hani- I.ithin Springs last week, and i: was one ol flic most interesting ami prolitablo meetings we have ever attended. Prom the opening to tin- clo.se there was not a dull momeul in its proceed ings. An interesting programme had been arranged foi the occasion, ami nearly all the members who had been appointed to prepare and read papers on the subjects assigned them came well prepared to perform their duty. The subjects, of ? ourse, were only of interest In Iho journalists, and wen handled in a way that every member |ii;-.-enl received new and practical ideas aboul journalism, The subject* >l the interesting papers brought oui othci topics, which were generally ?lis cussed, I he members giving thoii < x perieiice iii various lines ol work,cm ei-\riii aliiiost evor,\ lea turc o| a printing i otlice.

A general fil ling of gloom ami of deep sympathy for (he stricken family pervaded our community on Priday afternoon when the news spread that Hampton I.. Hawkins hud accidentally shot himself and was beyond all hope of recovery. .Mr. Hawkins whs prepar ing to ride out into the country, in the llrushy Creel; section of Anderson County, where he had been leaching school. < ?n his way he slopped at the resilience of his cousin, It road US Wat son, on Green avenue, who was to ac company him on the. dlivc out. After reaching the house he had gone to his cousin's room and while standing be fore the bureau had taken a small pis tol out of his pocket and started to lay it upon the bureau, which had a mar ble top, with a set of drawers on one side raised above the marble. It is supposed that ho failed to put it down securely when the pistol slipped oh" and fell against the marble, causing a dis charge, ami the ball entered his body near tho groin. Dis. Purin an and Ware promptly attended tho unfortu nate young mnn, but from the very first examination entertained little hope of his recovery. Various attempts wero made, but without success, to locate the ball which is supposed to have rnnged upward nnd lodged in a lung. Immediately after being shot Mr. Hawkins expressed his conviction that the wound wonld bo fatal nnd after passing through Saturday Uijed tho physicians to let him know tho worst. < >n Sunday morning they told him that his minutes upon earth were numbered, and tho calmness with which this in formation was received and with which he addressed his relutives about him was a full and comforting assurance that his confidence in the supporting presence of the Lord was Arm and un shaken to the last. After bidding his loved ones farewell he pnssed away at about 10.*:to o'clock on Sunday morning. Hampton Hawkins wns about twenty four years of age, nnd was the oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Hawkins, who live on Ithctt street.?Greenville Mountaineer, HHh inst. Neva Items.

Tin* health of our people is very good at the present writing, owing to the efficiency of our hustling physician, Dr. W. S. Hutchison. The farmers are now gathering in the fleecy staple, which is going to prove to hi- a great deal less than it was thought to be a few days back. The baptizing at Lebanon last first Saturday was attended by quite a large crowd of spectators. We an- glad to learn that Mrs. J. II. Hutchison is improving, though very slowly. Mr. John Brown is making some of the best syrup that we have ever seen. All who have cane to make up would do well to give him a trial.

Mr. P.ditor, we believe it perfectly rigid, when a man gets the contract for performing a piece of work for the County, that hebe allowed to do the work, but such is not the case. A gentleman living in this community recently got tin- job of working out a piece of road, and after working out a pari of the road, he was ordered to stop work until the scrape could be brought back, and then when the scrape came back into the neighbor hood, it was found that, another man had been put on the road to oversee the hands. If there is any fairness in such as that we fail to see where it comes in. A number of cases can be eited of just such a character as the above. The blame can be laid on no one hut the Gnrvin Township Commis sioner. We are listening for the ringing of those wedding bells. Bur. Ja v.
