'he race suicide question has re jved'itself into a race war. it is never too late to mend, but no wives find it too much trouble. Some more fools are planning to earth the buried treasures of Cap. in Kidd. With the assistance of the family iysician Now York's 400 hae some. hat increased of late. The tramp fraternity is just now ;Aunning Kansas as if the land wore mficted with a pestilence. If you want to get the beat of a oman in an argument just intimate 0at her hat is not on straight, Western editor declares that all & the babies are born at night now n order to find some one at home. *If Cuba wants a loan of $85,000,. 100, we might. as well buy the Plamed island and be through with it. woo We admire the sagacity of the pro. essor who remarked that "a flying nachine if properly conducted should ly." The lynching pastime goes mer :ily on. Last wook Tennessee 'w-A efore the footlights with a iiipec uwa . - The stee rust 'g it exchangO some of its doprec ating stock for ra dium, which is selling for $75,000 an ounce. A Government expert asserts that the devil lurks in soda fountains. In that case we are all dead willing to go to the devil. -IF 4Ihore aro any men left in the p~ostoffice department who are not under suspicion, they should be tick eted with a rod ribbon. Things got so rotten in Chicago last week that the heavens opened and the hail fell and smashed all the windows and a few plug hats. With the college boys at wvork in the harvest filkla and t~he girls at wvork in] the kitchens, who cares whether school keeps or not? The hens of the United States last year laid 16,000,000,000 eggs, worth in the market $150.000,000. Who sal's the hoen is a small chicken? An exchange contains a long ac count of "how we foed our army." As a matter of fact, we don't do it. The Government des the feeding act. 1* .* * The president is credited with be inig extremely anxious to end the pos tal investigation. The public will have no objections-after the guilty *are punished. If Roosevelt and Cleveland should * happen to be opposing candidates next year, the manufacturers of b-iby carriages would have to contribute to bo0th campaign funds. The crimes for which negro lynch ing seems to be the penalty are alarm ingly on the increase, and seems to the more prevalent in the north tihan hesouth of late. Booker Washington was hissed by a negro audience in Boston because lhe advooated respect for law and do ceoy. Another link forged in the * * * Asuicide in Paris left this wvorld hi bouse he said the weather was too hot. Since then ho has failed to re por on conditions prevailing in his < 9rz8 abiding place. SThe owners of watered Wall street stocks are having their troubles, but togeneral publie cares but little attheir losses, so 'long as the ~A~~esent prosperous conditions pre ~ hale M. Schwab, the President Spteetrrst with a million dol ~lary, i 1d to ~be oowhere ~iio W6. ~ut the West isn't f~' dk~tying to find him. lb~4d Qg~ re of far more 8peaking abou truwt busting, the Allial noat needed just now Is a mob disperser. So far the great rides of history are Paul Revere'P,. Sheridan's, Tam O'Shauter's and Miles'. When people quarrel over dogs and go shooting it shows that the dog is the wisest of the trio.' The best way to stop lynchings is to see that the negroes who assault innocent women are promptly pun. islhed. Advertising small men for large places is a common pastime with some paper s. We prefer even a big man for a small place. There are a good many blisters to the equare inch in those Kansas counties where the soft banded ama tour harvesters are at work. Don't worry if you meet with op position when you suggest improve ment3. No improvement was ever made that was not opposed by some one. S* * Russia and America seem to be conducting a contest in barbarity. There they massacre the Jews and here we lynch the nogroes. Now, which is entitled to the ribbon? 'the newepapers are talking of the passing of J. Pierpont Morgan. Morgan is sliding down the tobog gan, and every editor in tho country is giving him a kick as he passes, Chicago negroes are predicting that this country will soon be ruled by the negroes. Tho making of such fool statements is about the best way possible of keeping alive the lynching fever. *30 A't. Louis couple went dIown to th >enitentiary to have the chaplain ie the Gordian knot for them, and the Alinneapolis Times wickedly re marks that they had a true concep tion of the eternal fitness of things. * * * Governor Yates was out of the state when needed to prevent the lynching at Danville, Ill. But in order to even up things a bit he is swearing vengeance against the mob. Which reminde us somewhat of the boy who kicked the dog. If the officers of the law would use as stern methods before a mob gath era in force ats they do afterwards, we would have less of mob rule in this country. Too many of these officers think umore of a few votes at election time than they do of their oath of of flee and their duty to the peop~le. Glovornor Heyward and Presidlent Cromeor will be in .Lickens the 15th instant. This will be a gala day for the old town. The County, at large, and out lying neighborhooda are cor dially invited to come to this educa tional feast. You will never rogiet it. Pickens is comning to the front, slowly, but snrely. It is a gradual, healthy growth; it is no mush room growth. W'atch her, for in the next five years her growth will be more rapid and phenomenal, even, than in the past five and you will not knowv the old town. People who made a practice of sending into the city for their sup. p~lies should never complain of hard times. The way to prevent hard times is to get all the money from abroad you can and keep it in your owvn town. In other words, patron ize your local merchants. * 0* Senator Tillman has been giving the northern p~eople some hot shots over the numerous lynchings during the past two months. Tillmnan glee full3 announces that the north is get. ting a dose of the anme medicine the south has been getting for years. And the same remedy is applied in each case. The Pickeons Oil Mill is on a firm footing; the first installment of stock has been called for, and the conti act for building will be let next weekc. Everything now points to an early comp 1letion and the smooth running oif this enterprise. With the set of executive officers at its head, who will heartily co-operate with the man ager of the mill, it is bound to sue. coed, and pay its promoters hand. some dividends. Pickens coudty is one of the most latent in this grand old State, but she is rapidly waking from her Rip Van Winkle sleep and her lethargy is past. She has awoke to a realiza. tioni of her vast resources and possi bilities and is putting her best foot forward and making a good impress ion oji all who come in contact with her.

Leroy Masterson, a foreman at the steel works, at Pueblo Colo, was murdered shortly attor mid night Wednesday night while lyiig asleep. Sixteen of the gang who had worked for him have been ar rested on the charge of complicity, as it is alleged there had been trouble with them. ENDS LIFE WITH POISON. Maggie Moore, a resident of Augusta, Ga., committed'suicido Tuesday night in her room by taking morphine. An epidemic of suicide seems to be raging in that quarter, this be. ing the third attempt within a week. The dead woman was a member of one of the leading fanilies of Columbia county, and was a re markably handsome woman. She had been in ill health fir some time, which is supposed to be the c ause of her suicide. FATHER SUED FOI SONS WAGES. An interesting case, that of Ray vs. Cliton M'f'g Company, ocen pied the entire time of Magistrate Garris' court Thursday. The facts in the case are as follows: The plaintiff brought suit against the cotton mills for some forty odd dollars which he as father claimed to be due him as the wages of his son who is a minor. The cotton mills claimed that the money had been paid the son, all that was duc him as wages. The court decided in favor of the mnills.-Spartanburg Journal. Decline of Oriental Art. The future historian of eastern cul ture wvill have a somnewhat melancholy chapter to write on the decline and fall of oriental art. H~e will show how the western nations, among which machine wvork had destroyed handicraft, filled the east with Brummiagem mnanufac tures. H~e will explain howv the wvest dealt the east a still more crippling blow by requiring of the eastern artist the work of the western machine. 'The people of the nineteenth centuiry, he will say, asked of China, Jap~an, India, P'er sia, Asia Minor, not their best, bit their worst-anything, so it bore the tag oriental. Under this foolish det nmand, ho will explain, the art of rug ma king virtually disappeared fromi the Asiani villages, while the potteies of' Japan gave themselves to cajjrientulres, "for export," of their older and finer products, and Japanese painters cast away the beautiful linear symblolismn to the perfecting of which centuries had gone, and gave themselves to mean ingless imitation of the p~ainlting of Pa ris.-Na tion. Scientifie Study of WVel. A division of hydrology has been or ganized in the hydrographic branch of the United States geologleal survey. A special feature of Its work will be the study of wells and of water bearing strata In the earth's erust. All p~rob lemns relating to underground water will be within the scope of the now division. Not only the western states and territories where irrigation is r 'luired are to be included In the ild of active work, but in every state of the Union special studies will be made and trustworthy information collected. Child Insurance In Franee. In seine parts of France there is a regular premium on infant mortality, owing to the custom of child Iusur anice. Not only the parents can iusure their babes, but a third person can do so without the knowvledge of the par ents. At a recent meeting of the Acad emy of Medicine M. Biudin cited the case of a nurse who was thus enabled to "lose," one after the other, seven children who had been confided to her care and to drawv seven insurances. Our Internal commerce. In view of the establishment of the department of commerce and labor, it mnay be interesting to note that the in ternal commerce of the Wnited States last year has been estimated by the government statistician at $20,000,000, 000. Fifty years ago It was only. $2, 000,000,000. The mianufatuires of the 'United States are nearly double those of Great BrItain and Ireland and about equal to those of hi'raince, Germany and Riussia combined. Am flecente-ic wnl.
