Aa for retall-v-well, long be fore Cornwall!* and Georgo Wash ington and laFayatt? and Barron Dekalb paid hasty calla on our ahop keepers, Camden haa been doing things writ down in Bradstreet's. v : ? If Dr. John Cllnkacalea wishes to find a candidate for governor who favora compulsory education, let him go n gunning in tho pines of upper Broad street Ju Camden. Ho will find him "6 feet in stocking feet" who uaed to knock 'em out of the box in scientific base ball, and will surely repeat the atroko when he goea to |ho bat in 1914. C. 1', Hushing, a white man, waa convicted of the murder of his wife at Chesterfield last week and sen tenced to death by electrocution on tho 18th day of April, This was one, of tho moat revolting crimes over committed In that county ?so much so, says tho Pageland Jour nal. EKal^aTniougli the man had mor.? fey enough to employ counsel, there were no 'attorneys who would take the ease, and the -court appointed counsel to defend him. The* case wa? given to the jury and within a short time they broought In a ver dict. of guilty. The prlaon.er stood and received the death sentence ^with about as much concorn as n school hoy. Mr. W." F, Cnhlwell, a Columbia corrcppondont or the News and Courier, sends that paper the fol lowing under date of last Friday: That former United States Senator John L. McLaurin will bo Jn the raoo for governor In 1914, 4h believ ed by ihose who have been watch ing recent' political events. Mr. MoLaurin haa innde no definite an nouncement of ? his plana, but it Ik generally understood that he will offer for governor next year. Mr. McLaurln's erlllclsin of the legls lature, "as the product of a cam paign conducted upon u low plane of thought, nearly every man the product of a bitter factional fight," brought forth a bitter denunciation from Representative J; J. Evans to day, who denounces Mr. McTjUiirin "as a cheap demagogue and a pol itician unworthy of the support or thought or consideration of intelli gent men." He also denounces him ns a "Standard Oil Democrat." It la believed that If Mr. McLaur in finds enough encouragement that he will undoubetedly bo lu the race for governor. He Is at present atato senator from Marlboro coun ty. The candidates to fill the vacancy in tho First congressional district have agreed to have a primary elec tion April 1st; if a second is neces sary, on April 15; if a third, on April 22nd. The assessment is $500 each ? any surplus after expen ses to bo returned to tho defeated candidates. - ij vk wot* Mrovnur. H?>u(li?-rM lUilwuy tu I'Uc? I?rM44ii?| Aid to Uve HUnk (irmm*.

Time ' wa? when th^ bulk, and the beat, j of American riee waa grown between the Waccamaw and St. Mary's riv ers, inclusive, the two streams form ing the northern and southern boun* darles of the distinctively rice sec tion. In so far as quality is con cerned, South Carolina still produces the finest rice in the world; but as a great Industry rice has passed away from us. Is the passing to be for all time? None can foretell what the future may bring forth. ? In the heyday dr rice-growing "George-town" was a little gem with In a setting of gold that was fret ted and fllagreed by innumerable lines of shimmering silver. Tens of thousands, of acres of the yellow coated grain nodded and ripened, and fed the hungry and enriched the planters. Probably 26 rice mills dotted and punctuated the banks and estuaries of the rivers that empty Into Winyah bay. Smoke from the tall stacks of these mills was visible for miles, from plan tations situated on the rivers, the flails on the barn floors, the thump of the mill pestles in their mortars and the singing of the happy dar kies made music, of which we get only an echo from the past. No^ these mill sites are all si lent. Those mills that were not burned have tumbled down from decay or been abandoned. Here and there may be seen a tall and graceful brick stack standing alone; silent, dignified ? a monument recall ing the greatness of the past. Not one of the fine old mills re mains in tho Georgetown district. The local plant and Waverly were the last to succumb. They strug gled against the Inevitable as long as struggling gave the slightest? glimmer of hope. But as they say In the' land from which rice origi nally came "It was written, and it had to be."

We seem never to have been able. In auy of the several senses of the word, to adspt ourselves to the new school of high tension rice farming. . Possibly we shall get around to It after a while. . We may cut up the tremendous old plantations, reclaim them and set power plows, cultivators, reapers and binders to work upon them. Or, better still, perhaps, we may presently come to see that the now unfruitful rice lands are capablo of being transformed Into as prolific truck corn and cane fields as the sun shines on. ,/K.
