There seems to be diversity of < j in ion as to what Congress will i!o. il is agreed, however, that tho oppro priation bills will pass. The Knited States Treasury elosed tuc year 1902 with $=1 ,:;2i?,2??t7:i3 in its vaults. In spite of this enormous sum being locked uj>. there is more money in geueral circulation now than ever before. -.. - m ? mm - The General Assembly of South Carolina convened in annual session in Columl ? i y< stcrday, and it" is tho genera! opinion that tit?- merni ? rs will stay Il<er< the full limit of their time -?orty days. ??udgc Alton 15. Parker, of N? w York, appears to bc looming up the next presidential nominee of the Democratic party, and it i< evident that he will receive considerable .sup port in the Southern States. mm m ? - Cotton receipts nt all thc poi t1 are falling behind the last year's receipts every day in spite of the advance in price during the past mont li. There is every reason to anticipate a greatly increased acreage this year, and, if a big crop is made, look out for low prices next fall. The rich did not open their purses to charity and benevolence last year to quite the extent that they ?lid thc year before. A contemporary that that has kept thc account says that the total of gifts to educational, char itable and religious institutions last year aggregated $77,307,167. an against similar gifts of $12:1,888,71-12 ?luring 1001, Tlie department of agriculture ut Washington estimates tho newly seed ed area of winter wheat at about 31, 000,000 acres, an increase of 5.10 per cent upon the area estimated to have been sown in the fall of I IHM. Thc condition i-f winter wheat on P. e. 1 was 00.7 as compared with 80.7 in 1001, 117.1 in 1000 and a nine-year average of 01.4. Chief .lustief Henry Mciver died a? Lis home iuCheraw last .Monday after noon, after a long and tedious illness, aged 70 years. For more than a quar ter of a century he has ably served this State upon thc Supreme Bench, and his death is deeply deplored in every part of South Carolina. As citizen, as soldier, as statesman and as jurist he had few equals in this State, and his name will cover ono of tho proudest pages of South Carolina history. The Barnwell People directs atten tion to the fact that Hugh S. Thom son, now of New York, is tho only survivor of the Democratic State offi cials who were elected in 1876, "tho only living representativo of the lead ers of the greatest politioal conflict and victory our State has ever known or can ever know." It will bo remem bered that Gov. Thompson was the State Superintendent of Education chosen in 187G, and he was elected Governor in 1882. The dispensary report for 1002, sayB the Columbia State, indicates that that institution has reaohed its maxi mum percentage of profit under the present system of management and that no large inorease is to be expect ed in the near future. The cities and counties receive $443,000, while $123, 000 go to the State school fund, mak ing the total profits $566,000. This is about ten per cent, moro than in 1901. The dispensary system took eight years to reach the point of profit predioted for its first year by Ben Tillman, and still lacks over $400,000 of attaining thc million dollar mark he set for its subsequent years. In this respect as in many others it has been disappointing. Under the old license system, when licenses were granted only by tho cities and towns and tho most of them at improperly low rates, thc total revenue from the sale of liquor was, we believe, $266, 000; so we have worried and fought over the dispensary for ten years to make a gain in re\ .nue whioh could have been effected in one year without disturbance by a simple act increasing the minimum license fee. Thc dispen sary has at last nominally gone out of politics and has beeome an institution of the State, to lr.-?as long as the ma jority of the people shall be satisfied with it, but the time is going to come when they will not bo so satis fied and, political excuses being with drawn, will insist upon something better. That something better is a high license system under stringent regulations. At a minimum fee of $1,000 three-fourths of a million dol lars could be collected in license with out friction, without a speoial consta bulary and without the co-operation of thousands of blind tigers. Such a system would enforce itself, for there would be no need and no possibility of an alliance between the legitimate and illegitimate dealers. Rock Mills Hems. J. A. Shirley, who has he? n :,?

THIS is the name of the girl that; the irate head of the house calls when his wife cooks the FLOUR he bought from some other fellow guaranteed to be as good as Dean's Patent He finds it so sticky he can't eat it ; the more he chews it the bigger it wads up in his mouth, and when he carries it back to the man he bought it from, he is told that his wife don't ki ow how to bake good bread. This ia enough to make any man mad, and say funny names, but there is no excuse for it. He ought to have sense enough, as his wife told him, to know that there is no Flour "just as good" as DEAN'S PATENT, and he ought to buy it all the time, although he ia offered something "just as good" for 25c. a barrel less.
