There is but little in tho election returns to give Democrats much en couragement, as the Republicans seem to have carried everything in sight. Thc Georgetown Outlook recently published a handsomely gotten up in dustrial edition, which gives sketches and pictures of the points of interest around that beautiful little city. The Texas fever is playing havoc among thc cattle in several sections of the State. Kvery effort is being made to check thc disease, but it is very contagious and so far all efforts have been in vain. The Atlanta Journal is correct when it says it would help some if thc Dem ocrats would make any old thing the issue and stick to it, whether it is the tariff, the trusts, imperialism or sound money. We scatter too much. - - ? m - Now tin ' thc Philippines belong to thc United States, hemp should bc cheap, and a large supply could bc used? to advantage on the men who murder women, and with whom the country seems to abound at present. The Carolina college boys who want ed to fight each other with arms of war should be soundly spanked and sent to their dormitories.-Augusta Ghroniole. Yes, and some of the newspapers that created such a hulla bahoo about the school boys' row de serve similar treatment at thc hands of their readers. All of the schools in the County are now open and too much cannot be said to parents about necessity of the regular attendance on the part of all pupils. One day away from school means two whole days lost; be&iden, the other members of the class aro held back some, in tho efforts of the teachers to keep the whole class on an equal footing. Irregular attendance tends very strongly to demoralize the work of the school. Scholars who miss a day or two each week soon drift into a listlessness and careless ness in their work. By making an analysis of the me dian age of the population, that is, an age that shows one half of the popula tion above it and the other half below it, which is considered a more reliable test than the average age, the Census Bureau has reaohed the conclusion that the length of life in this country is increasing. In 1800 the median age in the United States was 21.9; in 1900, 22.8 years. Sinoe 1810 the median age has increased among the white popu lation 7.4 years. This lengthening of human life is undoubtedly duo to im proved dietary and sanitary conditions, not only in tho great cities, but al&o in suburban communities. It can scarcely be denied that pro fanity is getting to be much more .common than it was. Thc age is lack ing in re verence, and irreverence as serts itself io profanity. But it is a noedlcss and soul destroying habit. A profane swearer gets nothing in re turn for his sin, except the further excitation of his temper, which ought to be rather restrained than unlashed. Down on the seacoast there is a fish whioh the natives oall the ship-jack. Other fish have to bo caught by seine, gig or baited hook, but the ship-jack bites at the bare hook. You only have to trail the bare hook in the water rapidly so as to make some imi tation of a swimming minnow and the ship-jack bites at it to his own destruction. So Satan bates the hook for the thief or the burglar, and some times drives his victim into the net of lying and murder, but he catches the profane swearer with the bare hook. --j? -o mm The total vote in the County for State and County oflicea was 1,134. The total vote in the County for the Federal election was 1,182, D. Wyatt Aiken receiving 1,154, and John Scott, the Republican nominee, re ceiving 28. The vote on the Consti tutional Amendment was ?iji? "Yes"' and 31 "No". It will be a long lime until another election, and to admon ish the voters now may be of little avail, but even a casual observer can not fail to see that lhere is a quiet hut steady determination on the part of the Republicans, both in this State and in Washington, to build up that party in the State, and some day it will take advantage of the supineness of the Democratic voters, those who regard thc primary as (he election, and present themselves in so formida bie an array as to elect their nominee at the general election, which, alone, is the legal election. The total votes cast in the County scarcely exceed the total votes cast in the oity at the pri mary. This tfhews an indifference very much below the importance of the oooasion, and if continued the Re ' publioans may be expeoted to take ad vantage of it. A Tributo tu Jame? D. Campbell. A most Utting and appropriate tri buto has been pai?l to the memory of our deceased young friend, James D.
