Wednesday,- Dec., 4, 10O1. We notice tliat Editor Cannon, o the Carolina News, has associate! with himself, Mr. Moak. These gen tlemen propose giving the people o the Dutch Fork a paper worthy in ev ery respect of their patronage and sup port. Chapin is a progressive to'.vr and should stand by bretheren Cannoi and Moak not only in words, but wit the cash, which is a necessary essentia to the conduct of a good newspaper We wish for Editors Cannon on Moak every success possible. * * * I At the recent Methodist Conferenc , Dr. W.R. Richardson, of Spartanburg was elected Editor of the Southeri Christian Advocate, over Dr. John O Wilson, who has tilled that positioi with credit to himself and to hi church for the past seven years. II has made The Advocate one of th strongest and most readable denomi national papers in the entire South Dr. Richardson is one of 1 he mos brilliant m ;n in the South Carolin 9 k Conference and quite likely, will kee f the "old organ' u;> to its usual stand * ard. ? * * * We have read with great interert th discussion of "Good Roads," in the vs rious papers in every section of th P ouaic. xue |Hai>|iiL* ure riruuziuK 111 necessity and pecuniary value of g o roads. Until a few years ago the agi tators of this question were looked uji on as cranks, who were endeavorin in rhipossibility. llowevei li:is turned and there ng more state where could there be built bctte roads than in our section, where hot 0 clay and f-and abound. We will fron now on give our readers some well B ? articles on this subject, b B men who thoroughly understand th H subject not froih tlieory, but froi R practice. ^ * * * 1 The South Carolina anil West-Iu I diao Exposition opened under auspi I cious circumstances Sunday afternoon |D0 v All Charleston, with a great throng <> visitors from every section of the atati BRf was present to give thanks for th opening of this great show, whirl m? means much for the dear old city In W the sen, as well as our entire state r Charleston has been helped to sum L degree Wy the statu, and popular sub scription, put the burden of expensi has been borne by Charleston. Thi is but another proof of the willing spirit which is characteristic of hei people. In every trying hour in tlx history of the state has responded with generosity. We hope the people every where, especiafly of South Carolina, will throng this magnificent show, Which in every respect rellect credit on the entire state. All honor to Charleston, the queen city of tlx soutn:: Mav In l'liiliulut p Ilia. A month ago, 1 came to this city, and now am almost used t ? things; e.\ cept the Northern cooKing. There ino eating to be found anywhere h Iter than that to be had in our own South Carolina; especially when they know you are coining. My readers in South Carolina are enjoying fresh meat all along no ,v. They hate pigs-feet and jowl and turnip-greens. Yes; sweet-potatoes too. We yankees smack our lips over Irishpotatoes, soup, Boston be ms, cauliflower, spinach. My quondam roommate used to say I could not make a speech without mentioning chicken. Do we get any of that delicacy? Well, yes; we have it about twice a month. On Thanks-giving day we had turkey. I wish someboly could tell mo how many noble turkey* had to give their valuable lives in order to make tinAmerican people thankful and h ippy one day? I would like to know how many gobblers were "ir ihhled im" herein I'hilnilelplii a Ia-<t Thursday. The d vy before dozens, and in some plac.es, hundred-', of the linest turkey could be seen banging in front of grocery stores. See passing one almost ^ had to think of a (loudened thicket of chestnut trees upside down; for the j turkeys had their heads hanging down Did 1 say soup? Yes; we have thai twice a day every day! Sometimes it is beans and water, or something else and water; occasionally it i- almost just simply water, lint, then, it is good; since it makes one's coal lit better . We had snow yesterday, and have il yet; but the sun is shining now, and it is warmer. How treacherous are these sidewalks to human feet! Yesterday 1 had a great fall too quick to enjoy it. I did not break nny bones, and I think I did the pavement no damage; hut one man fell fatally, and a dozen or two legs, arms, ribs, were broken in the city yesterday.
