The agricultural department is tak ing steps te got rid of the prairie dog settlements of the western States.

There is. no doubt but that is the key to prosperity with farmers. Wo have never known a farmer who produced his own supplies every year who was not a satisfied, prosperous citizen. You no doubt hear things every day that are not true, and repeat them. Try not to do it. It is surprising how many things are told that are untrue and cruel; it is surprising how many people like this sort of talk. Be above circulating an untrue and damaging story about any one to oblige some mischievous go?sip. ? mm 4? - On tho army reorganization bill which parsed the Senate, the South Carolina Senators split. Senator Till man voted nguinBt tho bill, while Sena tor McLaurin, who is known to be friendly to tho administration on cer tain issues, voted with the Republicans in favor of the bill. Only three Demo crats, Senators McLaurin, Morgan of Alabama, and Sullivan of Mississippi, voted for tho measure. A very important case) was argued before tho Supreme Court in Columbia a few days ago, that of Hill, plaintiff, appellant, vs. the Abbeville Town Council. The case involves tho right of cities and towns to impose license taxes. He paid tho license tax imposed by the town under protest nnd brought suit in the Circuit Court before Judge Townsend to recover the amount. Judgo Townsend decided that the town had a right to impoFO and collect a license tax, and the case now comes to the Supremo Court. The decision will bo awaited with interest. From the information that comes from Washington tho hopes of those who are paying stamp taxes that they would be removed by this time by tho reduction of tho list, are doomed to disappointment. It is reported that the Senate will amend the House bill so that it will not go into operation before July 1st. instead of on pass age of the bill as the House enacted it. Then* would be some $8,000, 000 in stamps to be redeemed if the bill became a law at once. The bank cheek stamps will be retained, but the others, on express receipts, telegrams and proprietary drugs and medicines, will he removed. It looks as if nn extra session of the fifty-seventh Congress will have to lo called to dispose of the great volume of business which the present session of Congress will leave on hand when it expires by limitation of the constitu tion on March 4th. It is regarded as practically impossible for the Senate to pass the necessary appropriation bills and disposo of tho other urgent measures now before it by the time left in which to do business. The great supply bills for the ordinary run ning expenses of the government are yet to be considered by tho Senate and there is a disposition on the part of many Senators to go slow ou each of them. . -- mm o mm Chu*. 1). Freeman & Co., members of tho New York Cotton Exchange nnd engaged in the cotton commission business, whose facilities for estimating the cotton crop is as good as the best, estimates the present crop, "assuming the movement to date to have equalled tho average crop of the past twelve years," at 0,88-1,913 bales, over n million bales less than the government ligures given out and that effected the price m> suddenly and disastrously. VYithspin ners' stocks on hand in Europe387,000 bales loss at this time than at the same period lust year, and European con sumption over 20,000 bales per week greater this year thou last, together with greater consumption in this coun try, it would scorn that remunerative prices will continue until the end of the season. It is, therefore, estimated that tho present crop cannot show up, under an average percentage of gam in coming receipts, more than 0.500,000 hales. As itwascstimated tbatlO.150.-. 000 were needed to supply the require ments for this year, it may be ensily seen that cotton is on a firn^oundation for the present. 7 Teachers who desire t<> improve* themselves, keep a breast with tho ad vance of edtieat ioiml seicnc;: and moth ods and thereby li! themselves lor j higher and bet ter paying positions, can done better than to tal.c advantage of the special courses of study ottered by the faculty of the South Carol inn Col lege during the sprint term. COLUMBIA LETTER. What Our Law Makers are Doing at the State t'a pi toi. / '/ "?* Our (hru ('offCSiHtUtliHt. CoM.MitiA, S. C, dan. 15), 11)01. The Legislatur?* has adjourned on account of Lee's birthday untilMondny. The halls and loljbic.4 of tho State House an* deserted and given over to the cleaners, while the workmen who are chipping stone, for the porticos to complete the building are merrily pursuing their occupation undisturbed. The business of the week has been without incident of any montent, few bills have gone into their second read ing. Tho committees have been very busy but the routine of the two Houses has been without incident. A host of new bills have been introduced and more nre coming. It bus been decided that to avoid special legislation, which has recently been given a very black eye, that there should be special com mittees appointed from each county to ?Irait a road law that will meet the re (jtiireiuents of till the people as nearly as possible, and have tho same law for the whole State. The chief objection seems to be in the matter of the paid overseers who nre paid well for little work. The sentiment seems to bo to go back to the old plan of working the roads by summons system, euch man doing his share. This same course will bo pursued in regard to other mat ters in which tho whole Stats or any considerable portion is interested. Tho matter of redistricting the State seems to bo pretty well assured, but there will be a light over the formation of the districts. There aro a number of bills promised on this subject. The Weston bill is in and others will come. It is now very much questioned whether the child labor bill will pnss or not. It is said by some of tho men who aro opposing it that it would seri ously hurt the sections of tho State in which cotton mills aro just beginning to bo built, whilo tho older mill dis tricts aro rather in favor of it, that is to say tho owners of tho mills in those districts, who think that it will be a check to tho development of new mills and will lesson competition. Tho question of labor is the most puzzling one in the now mill sections and that is where chile1 labor will bo most in demand. It is very clear that there will be no compulsory education bills passed at this session. Tho time is not yet con sidered ripe, but the tendency is that way and it is more noticeahlo every year. There has been a strong rivalry worked up in the contest for judge ship between Townscnd and Hydrick; the friends of the latter claim that they have won the fight. The Charleston appropriation bill will be very sure to go through. It gathers strength every day. A bill has been introduced giving the gov ernment tho land required along the Cooper River in Charleston, that land now being in marshes and of no value to the State. Mr. Kibbler, of New berry, has introduced a bill providing for a banking and insurance commis sioner and tho examination of banks. This official has been proposed a num ber of times in tho history of our legis lation, and has l" * n demanded by the banks, too, but the economists were always too many for its passage or they would not allow a sum Bunlclent to secure a really competent business man. This Legislature seems disposed to put tho railroads on tho snme footing us common people, too. There are several bills in requiring the railroad commission to take charge of certain matters, such as demurrage and claims. Among the bills presented is ono calling for the election of dispensers by the people. Also tho Archer bill which was defeated at the last session providing for prohibition in such coun ties as desire it. The House has had a bard time over the bill to prohibit reckless driving on the highways. There has been no lit tle fun over certain passages in the discussion. The House seems to he without leadership just now. The leaders last year were pretty well acknowledged to be Stevenson and Winkler. Une of these was not returned, Mr. Winkler, who ran for lieutenant governor sind the other, Mr. Stevenson, has been elected Speaker. H y the way he is said to be making a fine speaker. If there are any leaders in the House now they might be said to ho .lohn 1'. Thomas, Jr., of Richland, ami ,1. II. Wilson, of Suinter. Really there has been no occasion yet to bring out lead ership, there has been no light and there is no faction tobe led. Matters are expected to warm up next week. Haktwki.i. M. Avku. ?

LIG0N & LEDBETTEE, WHOLESALE DEALERS. Nowfor Another Century ? THE nineteenth century is gone forever ; tha echo of the rumbling wheels of Time reverberates down the viata of the ages, and the noisy clang ing of our never-resting trucks keeps pace with the rapid progress of this panoramic show?these trucks that howl from mom 'till night carrying from our warerooms tons upon tons of OEAN'S PATENT FLOUR to satisfy the hunger of the craving thousands who constantly cry for its piesence in their household. Dean's Patent is one thing they WILL have, because it is pure and wholesome, and our all-leather SHOES are things they MUST have, be cause they can't afford to be without them. The people of this century demand good values for their hard -earned money, and that is what we give them in every yard of DRY QOODS, in every pound of COFFEE, in every gallon of MOLASSES, aod in every bushel of CORN and OATS. We give them the only genuine and original Blies' Triumph Irish Potatoes ou the market, and this is just what they want. In fact, we give them the best there is to be had, and if they are not pleased, it gives us pleasure to refund their money. That is our guarantee open to every one.

DRY GOODS and SHOES at selling prices. Yours for|Trade, VANDIVER BROS. The 20th Century Method of selling Groceries meaos the same goods for less money, or better goods for the same money as formerly charged. Tho old way of run ning up all sorts of needless expenses and making the buyer pay for them all is out-of-i ate. It never was right to make the good payers pay for losses caused by the no-pay*rs. I determined to get away from it at the first oppor tunity, and I believed that folks would rather have it the new way when eve* rybody pays for his own and for the goods of no one. else. The big increase in my business caused by the savings actually made, which savings are turned over to my customers, suits thrifty buyers, and it helps me to take quick ad vantage of market changes and secure lower prices than over?for cash with me goes farther th\u credit, just the same as it does with you.
