The total receipts of cotton at the various ports for the crop of 1901-'02 is less than seven million bales. This looks like those who arc saying that cotton will go ? to over ten cents are correct, that is, if a j|g short crop means higher prices. Senator J. K. Jonesf chairman of the i National Democratic executive coinmittee, was defeated for re-election as Senator at the Democratic primary held in Arkansas last week. The people evidently could not stomach his connection with the cotton bale trust. Some Northern and Western people pretend to love the negro, and recognize him as a social equal, but whenever the crime of rape is committed on a white woman by one of these black brutes, he is promptly hanged, often without a legal trial, no matte? in what part of the country the crime takes place. St. Matthews, one of the most progressive tywns in the State, even if it is not a county-seat, has just held an election on the question of bonding the special school district to erect a new building for their ? srraded school. The vote was almost un [ animous, only two votes being cast against the proposition. We commend this publicspirited action to the citizens of Bamberg school district. Our present graded! % school building is entirely inadequate to the need:? of our school, and its condition is a reflection upon our people. Bamberg has the reputation abroad of being an en-) terprisihg town, and that her citizens are progressive and public-spirited. We fear some of our foreign friends who hold this opinion of us would be tempted to change their minds if they saw our graded school building. The school has reached the point where the present building is filled to~5Vei*flowing, and in order to accom> modatc all the pupils, some of the primary - - grades are taught early in the morning and the pupils sent home, in order that others may come. We must either build on to the present building or erect a new one. We believe all our citizens realize that the argument of economy is in favor of a new building. This we need and : need badly. Will we get it? This question must be answered by our propertyV owning voters. The Sehool Question. As we stated last week we did not have s| -- time then to answer Mr. Wiggins's reply to our editorial of the previous week. We have read his article carefully since and : find that it disagrees in many particulars from the catalogue of the school in quesEp^. tion. We dislike to offend anyone, but we published only facts and figures from ~ the report of the State Superintendent of Hp*/; Education and gave our impression of Mr. Wiggins says he is surprised that ' the Editor of The Herald is so slow in making the discovery of the splendid showing made by the Denmark schools. m We are more surprised than he is that he has so soon forgotten how we have continually exploited that same success, even pa!g% more than his own home paper. But to the point. There seems to be jp.5-/ three nRgrtLsehools in Denmark district, ' two public schools ana the \ oornees in-1 ^ dustrial school. These three return an - enrollment of 508 (which is nearly onefifth of the total enrollment for the whole county, the number of negro pupils Sir", for Bamberg county being 2,769) and re> ceive from the county $2S0, or a fraction less than 50 cents a head. The average of I the rest of the county is exactly one dollar, j (eh - v The woman at the head of the Yoorhees school deserves great credit for the heroic Wig struggle she has made to found a school for her race. Her school in time may rival that of Booker Washington at Tuskegee. Will it still be called a public school ? "^Bhe has recently published a pamphlet of bto. information of her school, and we would |f*S like to print all of it but can give only a v . few extracts: "What is the name of your school? Ans. Yoorhees Industrial School, formerly Denmark Industrial School." "Who are the trustees? Ans. Hon. S. pj&y.. ^ G. Mayfield, Rev. M. W. Gilbert, Rev. R. C. Bedford, Misses O E P. Stokes, Emily c - Howland, I)r. J. H. Kellogg, and Mrs. A. S. Steele." ^ "How man}* students attend the school? Ans. Last term we had 290." "Is it a boarding school? Ans. Yes, Tvw-tf mn Anltr 11 i\r\ grounds, as our room is so limited. We have to arrange with families out in town to take those we cannot." "How long does the school run ? Ans. - : * Seven and a half months." "How many teachers are connected with the work ? Ans. Six." "How do you get money to pay teachers? Ans. Raising money to pay the teachers' salaries is my greatest punishment each year. Friends send in donations which go to pay teachers. I am to raise $1,000 . to pay teachers this term. The county pays one teacher for four months." From the above it appears that the trustees of Denmark school district are L- not the trustees of the Voorliees school, ^that the school session is seven and a half months, that it is a boarding school, that there are six teachers, that the public scho ,trustees pay one teacher for four months and return the whole enrollment of the school. We are informed that the principal of the school returned to the public school trustees the names of the pupils taught by this one teacher, but they demanded the total enrollment. They may be legally right, but with the present light we cannot say it is equitable and just. Is the Voorhees Industrial School a free public school of the county ? A Raging, Roaring Flood.

He got on a table and pushed open the transom over the door. It was dark inside and the porter struck a match and held it up. Instantly there was an ex- j plosion. Room 63 and the number adjoining were wrecked, and windows shattered in other parts of the house. A lire alarm was turned in. Firemen entered room 63 and found on the bed the dead body of W. P. Haukinson, aged 24, of Ellenton, S. C. He had taken morphine, unscrewed the tip from the gas burner and turned on the gas. Letters found on his body explained that he was despondent and determined to die. At the time of the explosion the hotel was well tilled and a panic was narrowly averted. Good for Rheumatism.

While there he met an old comrade in arms whose reception was somewhat frigid. "Well, what's the matter?" said Gen. Lee. "Oh, nothing much," was the non-committal reply. "There is something wrong," persisted the General. "Out with it! What do you want?" After being strenuously urged the old comrade said: "Well, I want to die at least half an hour before you do. I want to be in the other world when you arrive there, just to hear what Gen. Jubal Early says when he sees you in a blue uniform."

I wore a badge in order to be sociable, and by that means learned of different grips and signs of distress. I think now I could work my way iuto a lodge if I had time and a large corkscrew. In shaking hauds with many trangers during the past year or two while traveling, and making a wide acquaintance, looking to an accidental turn in affairs in 1902, I am struck by the large and varied number of grips given me which I am not able to classify. I would think that a man who belouged to most all the secret societies must have very little time to devote to his business after successfully remembering all the grips, signs, pass-words, explanations, signals, rituals, work of degrees, constitution, bylaws, reports of committees, initiations, communications, new business, good of the order, violation of obligation, openr\A A m nnnol /\f ormc lari n cr Cif f'ArnPr stones and funeral services.

Many arc seeing more in the coming State Democratic convention than appears on the surface. A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle writing from Greenville, where one of Senator McLairin's campaign managers resides, sajs among other things: "Every one seems to be waiting and watching for something to turn up that will indicate in which way the political wind will blow, and, like all cautious people, we are keeping our mouths shut. Tillman has not the political power he formerly had. Many have dropped him as a leader. Many have joined the McLaurin ranks and still more are willing to do so should they see a few more straws blowing in his direction. All are disgusted with Bryan and his everlasting voice. "Under the uncertain situation, most m*>n 'irp nwnitinrr flip jirfinn nf thp Stntp Democratic convention that meets in Columbia in Ma)', before saying anything. A great number of people, knowing the differences in the Democratic ranks, consider that convention one of the most important political conventions that ever met South Carolina. The action then taken and the platform then adopted will decide the political situation in the State. "We need wise and conservative men in that convention in order that a platform may be adopted that will not cut any faction but suit all. "If measures condemning the McLaurin element are adopted and an attempt made to rule them out, there will be a split in the party that will not soon be healed, and men will begin to 'align themselves with one faction or the other. "Tillman w ill, no doubt, wield much power in the convention and it may be said that a great responsibility rests on his shoulders in uniting or disruptingthe party. No one can tell whether he will be statesman enough to rise above self and his personal feelings toward McLaurin to really try to save the party or adopt a course of rule or ruin. By his conduct in person, or by his lieutenants, in that con veution, he w ill be judged. He will make or ruin himself. If he shows a small spirit of personal revenge he is gone. If i : e ? uc uses iu luu pt;siliuu ul it siaicsuian auu patriot he "will be saved. "The politicians are worried and, as stated, waiting and watching. Very few are out spoken, with the exception of avowed partisans. "There is no doubt that South Carolina is in the midst of a big political revolution. The indusirtal situation has vastly changed in the past ten years. The manufacturing interests have grown wonderfully and their influence is fast becoming a power in politics. These thousands are tired of the old wornout issues in national politics and desire new issues upon which there would be some hope of electing a president. They desire a national platform that will suit the Democrats of the south as well as those of the north?a platform without 16 to 1 and like follies in it including Bryan as the biggest folly of all, upon which all can stand. The times have changed, and it is claimed that we must change with them. The campaign of this year in South Carolina will be a hot one, as the McLaurin Democrats are growing stronger and can now poll 80,000 votes out of a possible 85,000 in the State. "It would require a very wise man to size up what the situation will be in the summer, except to say that it will be lively and interesting." "So you won't take money for your vote?" "No, suh! But ef you is wise, you'll lose some whar I kin find it easy!" He Kept His Leff. Twelve years ago J. W. Sullivan, of Hartford, Conn., scratched bis leg with a rusty wire.

Ashley, alias Jack Ashley, sent up from Barnwell county. After being free a while Ashley broke into a dispensary and stole some $80 worth of whiskey, and got on f. first class drunk, leaving for parts unknown before he could be arrested. A short time ago the sheriff of Barnwell county located him in Tennessee and had him arrested, but before requisition papers could be gotteu the fellow escaped. Recently he was located in Kentcky at Louisville, and the police of that city arrested him at the sheriff's request. The application for a requisition reach ed the governor yesterday. Af ter looking into the mutter be came to the conclusion thatin view of thebeavy expensenecessary to the bringing of the man back" to South Carolina, it would be for the best interests of the State to refuse the requisition, and order Ashley released. It is understood that if he returns to the State he will be promptly arrested and punished. Thus the State and Barnwell county are rid of a very undesirable citizen.?The State.

Governor McSweeuey does not see it that way and lias 110 idea of paying the reward that the State offered, because he takes the position that it is necessary to do something to earn a reward, and that the accidental finding of a dead bod}', and being attracted to it "by buzzards flying over it," is not earning a reward.

At 1 o'clock the other morning a well dressed man strolled into one of the uptown messenger offices. He had been dining out and evidently, from the rakish tilt to his opera hat, the dinner had been a success. "I want a messenger boy to come and iwaken me in the morning." "What hour?" The clerk was all business, for the request was not unusual. "Seven o'clock. I've got to catch a train,", he explained. "All right, sir; 7 o'clock," assured the clerk. The man turned as he was going out of the door. "Have the boy hammer the door hard," he cautioned. "I'm a 'dead one' when I get to sleep, and I've got to catch that train." Then he went home and went to sleep with absolute confidence. The whistles were blowing 7 o'clock. A small boy In uniform hammered with a club, his "wakener," on the door of the man who had dined the night before. "Get up in there!" he cried. "Get up, you old sleepyhead!" "You go away from my door," comes in sleepy tones from the room. "It's a mistake. I don't want to get up." "Oh, yes, you do, my dodo bird," is the fresh reply. And the tattoo on the door goes on with redoubled strength. "All right, boy; I'm awake now!" howls the man who has been sleeping. "You can go away now." "Not till you've signed this receipt," the boy insists. The man has to crawl out of bed and come to the door. The boy has a paper ready, and as he is a careful man he reads before signing. It certifies that he has been thoroughly wakened by Messenger No. 432 and that he is not going back to bed again that day. "Is this a joke?' he asks the boy. "Naw, 'taln't no joke," replied the messenger through his teeth. "If we'se didn't make you'se do this, you'd be down to de office about noon a-howlin' daf didn't wnkp vmi'sp. Now. if you'se goes back to your bag of feathers, we'se got you'n In black an' white, an' no mistake."?New York Tribune. COOKING FISH IN ENGLAND. TIm Method Used There Renders the Flesh Flaky and Juicy. John Bull certainly knows how to cook fish, to prove which fact one has only to notice the juiciness and good flavor of the first bit of fish, served perhaps at a little out of the way Inn, that one tastes in England. We Americans have at command many fine varieties of fish, but too often find it sent to table in a "woolly," tasteless condition. An American cousin visiting in an English family made bold to ask what method of cooking "sea food" was prevalent in England and found that there the importance of the thorough cooking of fish as a safeguard against ptomaines is as much regarded as with us. Our old country friends, however, assure us that there is not the slight' est occasion to render fish dry and tasteless in order to insure thorough cooking if proper attention is given to basting. One cannot well imagine anything hotter than boiling fat, and laving plentifully with this is to make use of the surest ammunition possible for the routing of deadly bacteria. Instead of warning amateurs against underdone fish, let copious basting with sweet boiling fat be Insisted on, and in place of a woolly, flavorless result there will be the opposite?flakiness and Juiciness. Overboiling will produce woolliness as surely as overfrying or baking. To insure tender, solid flakes in, for Instance, boiled cod or halibut and to avoid dissipating the flavor make sure the water boils when floK Ifl mif 4rw* lr*iz*r\ of o crnntln liic uou iO A&f) avv^/ u V u qvuvii; boil; allow only ten minutes to the pound and tie carefully in cheesecloth that has been washed and boiled before using.

He asked a young lady who had shown herself more enthusiastic than intelligent over the beauties of "Maud" what birds she supposed they were which called "Maud, Maud, Maud!"

Poultney Blgelow In his description or the marvelous progress macie ny tne city of Singapore under English rule gave a quaint picture of the manner in which the streets are watered: The watering cart was drawn by little white bullocks and driven by Malays with turbans. It seemed to take five Malays to do this driving. One roosted aloft on top of the barrel for the purpose of controlling the outgo of water. He seemed very proud of his appointment Another native In a big turban roosted on the pole and controlled the little cattle. Then there was a man In thin brown legs and much turban who walked solemnly behind enjoying a footbath. He was obviously a government functionary, although his exact sphere of usefulness I could not discover. He appeared to be something in the nature of a rear guard. Then there was a "foreloper," or advance guard, for the purpose of clearing the way. There appeared to be an idea that the little bullocks might suddenly go mad and rush ahead. At any rate, it gave congenial employment to one more native, and that was something. There was yet another, who bent down now and then to pick up a piece of stone or brush away some irregularitv unseen bv ordinary eyes. This outfit was a treat to me. It was solemn; it was full of self consciousness; It was magnificently oriental. I have seen men in sublime moments; I have seen the red capped station master of Germany strut up and down his platform when an imperial train was about to arrive, but even that impressed me less than the watering cart of Singapore, with Its municipal hierarchy of Malay ministers, each earning perhaps 2 cents a day. Dove* and Coronations. At the ancient ceremonies of coronation of the French kings, after the anointing had been performed, some white doves were let loose i n the church. This was supposed to symbolize the power of the Holy Ghost in diy recting the king's actions. A similar Idea seems to have Inspired all early kings, for among the English regalia is the rod of equity or the scepter with the dove. This is simply a golden rod with a mound at the top, which supports a cross. On this cross is a dove, fashioned of white enamel, with expanded wings. Some fine diamonds ornament tne roa in various places. No Escnse Thin Time. "It was a new gun, your honor," protested the prisoner, "and I did not know it was loaded."
