The Georgia Legislature has done more than well in re-electing lion. Al exander hf. Clay to thc Knited states Senate. -mm . mi The people of Anderson should he preparing for a great Thanksgiving. Our city is in a most prosperous condi tion and as a rule our people arc happy and contented. Ten years ago the money deposited in the banks of the 1'nited States was $.?,232,000,000. Now it is $3,535,000 0(K). In.twenty years the amount has quadrupled. That isa watter of ex pansion which no one will find fault with. Owing to thc threatened rice famine in the Philippines, it is probable that thc Government will have to provide supplies for the poorer native?. Thus from time to time, in such small things, do our island possessions de monstrate their value. ? - - m . - . . In Massachusetts, where the Demo crats cut out the Kansas City plat form foolishness, they gained one Congressman and reduced the Repub lican plurality 40 pc- cent. lt r.ay be only a straw in the wind, as it were, but it shows which way the wind is blowing. -m ? mm - Republican leaders at Washington say that there will be no tinkering with thc tariff at the coming session of Congress. They aro afraid to take the machine to pieces. They would be in the condition of the old farmer who thought he understood 'he "in nards" of a clock. Ile took it to pieces and after he had put it together he had wheels enough left to make two more clocks. "Enterprising Orangcburg" is tho title of a handsomely printed sixteen page Journal published by R. Lewis Berry & Co. of that city.

Tho report of Comptroller General Derham just published, gives tho to tal amount paid out this year io (Con federate) -pensions as $200,227.09. The total number of pension?is 7,750. Eighty-seven veterans collectively re ceived $1,999, in lieu of artificial limbs. The increase in the* number of pen sions grows yearly, and if this condi tion oontinues much longer the appro priation will furnish a pittance much smaller than that now received. Northern writers and politicians have for some time past filled much space in print in attacking ohild labor in tho South. As a social problem, the South will in timo settle it satis factorily. But tho feature of thia sud den moral upheavel up North has net oomc from any sympathy entertained for the white children of the South, but from the fact that the Southern cotton mill industry is injuring the profit making of the Northern mill in dustry. It is simply a question of ox goring and not humanity: that is the cause of this excessive interest in the children of the South. Denver Dots. Wm.

No sane man could expect a eolid leather Shoe for the price of a worthless paper sole Shoe ; he could not expect a Flour to bake up like DEAN'S PATENT for the price of such stuff tis this market is now flooded with, that is ground out of sprouted whtat. There is no reason, therefore, why people should be gulled into buying such stuff, if they would only stop to think. They should know that unreasonably lorv prices are a confession of worthless quality ; and they should, therefore, avoid such trash, if they want only the best quality, nnd at the lowest reasonable prices, they should by all means take advantage of the BARGAINS IM ALL LINES We are now offering.
