Discussing the clipping of Uncle Joe Cannon's wings the other day Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, (?ts off the following spicy comment: "Staid up, you magnificent old reprobate, whilst we salute yon and amid the oowardly clamor and the ribald jeers we render tho hnmncrp nf a life-loner foeman. "You fit a good fight; you held out loDg and well. Except that jou are an old man, taej would not hare dared?but even at that jou made them play ball. "Now they want to unload od you the sins of the Republican party. Ah, Joseph, Joseph? dear old Uncle Joe?it is true enough that parties, like republics, are ungrateful!" Attention has been called to < a number of Orientals who I have been visiting Cheraw with paltry and bedridden .appeals ] from Mar 8ergius, a bishop of i Turkey, in behalf of an orphanage in that country. Those who ka /e taken the trouble to investigate the matter, fiad that these persons are frauds and the alleged bishop is probably getting half of the funds they collect. As" a rule tCese men "get endorsements from ministers of leading denominations and then prey upon their respective flocks.

No town will pr< <per and grow where a lack > f enterprise and push ou ihe part of its ci.izens is felt. Toe true motto of each and every citizen of a town is and should be to assist and help your neighbors, encourage business of all kinds; there's no danger in gorging the market in this line; uuite in the matter of improvement in making the town attractive and giving it a home-like appearance. When this is done people from a distance will form a good opinion of the place and it will be an inducement for them to locate with us anH howimo nnrmanpnt and sub stantial citizens. The hook worm disease must hare struck this town, judging from "that tired feeling" so many persoas appear to have. The Columbia State offers each of its correspondents the use of its columns to give a reason why their town is the best town in South Carolina. The Cheraw correspondent's opportunity is at hand; if he can't give sufficient reasons to prove Cheraw the best town in South Carolina he is not properly on to his job. Several cases that have attracted public attention during the past week show that the law still has terrors for the evil-doer. The supreme court says that ^ Jones of Union must go to the penitentiary for life for wifemurder, and the circuit court at Abbeville convicted a "prominent" citizen of debauching a | young girl, and he is sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. South Carolina juries, whatever their faults, can be relied on to hold a man to strict account for t crimes against women. 1 Another case that speaks in J t tones of terror to evil doers is { that of Chester Kennedy of 1 Barnwell who, the supreme court < says, must go to the penitentiary for life for hiring two negroes to kill a white man. Aad the co i- , viction of a lot of white meD, as ( welt"^s~llegroes, in The city of ] Sumter within the past few I weeks, with the imposition of ' hoes amounting to about $2,500, is another evidence that in the ^ hands of honest and consoien- . tious aud patriotic men, the vio- ( lation of law is no light matter. u i ( t ? flxL?: tble Compound?
