Sp"cial agents ??f the postoffice department are traveling around the country, dropping in newspaper offices when least expected St to examine subscription lists to ascertain if the regulation requiring the payment of subscriptions is beingolnerved. It is dangerous business for a newspaper publisher to send papers to subscribers who are more than twelve months in arrears. T# Ik- deprived of the second elass mailing privilege, which is the permity for non-compliance with the ruling, puts a newspaper out of business, for the expense of put-ting h one cent stamp on every mailed amounts to so much more than the entire subscription business, to say nothing of the increased amount of labor for affixing the stanfpsAmeriran Pre**. What a pity politics doesn't take ps long a recess as Halley's cornet! T'i achieve success in his vocation a politician must be a good mixer. So must a bar-keeper. Senator K 1) Smith advises farmers to hold their cotton for 20 cents, claiming to have received advices from all over the cotton l>elt indicating a short crop. It is just as al>surd to say that certain newspapers defeated Feathstone as to argue that the N'ewlrerrv HereM and News and a few other county papers rooting for Blease elected hini Governor. Senator Tillman rises to remark that in Blease's election the newspapers of the State have been discredited! by the people. It would lie interesting to know if this distinguished authority also opines that the clergy of the State, who opposed Mr Blease a I >out, as solidly as did the press, have lieen "discredited" by the people of South Carolina. The Governor for one form of local option; the Lieutenant Governor for State-wide prohibition; the Attorney General for another form of local option; the State Senate for local option and the House of Representatives for State-wide prohibition. Surely such a heterogeneous crew never had control of Ship of State.

' Col Jacob T Barron, whose' death is announecd elsewhere in j this issue, visited Kingstrec on several invasions, and his friends here were deeply pained to hear of his passing. Keen-witted, jovial and gifted with persona' magnetism, he was a brilliant conversationalist and delightful raconteur. Being still in his prime and appearently hlessed with a vigorous eon -titution, hi- taking off is as sad | A press despatch from .Jacksonville states that John P Coffin has J>een elected State chairman of the prohibition organization in Florida. This is the same Coffin who tarried for m season in this part of the State and in the wake of whose departure followed a halfdozen hank failures, which institutions had been "promoted'' and looted by Mr Coffin, who may he considered the pioneer apostle of the cult of "frenzied finance" to strike this country. It is putting this class of men at the head of their organization that discredits the prohibition cause. Congressman Ellerlte is re-elected J?y I**ss than 2,">00 majority out of more than 1">,0<)0 votes polled , in the Sixth district.

Caleb Powers i was secretary of State under Governor Taylor, when the latter was defeated in ltK)S by Goeliel, a Democrat, and Powers was the man who brought the armed mountaineers to Frankfort to "kill off enough Democrats to give the Kebublicans a majority", and incidentally to slay Goeliel, the Governor-elect. They killed Governor GoeM and Powers was convicted of murder and sentenced to death; he was granted several new trials which eventuated in a life imnrUimment sentence, but he lan I" ? ? guished in jail only until a Republican Governor, Willsvn, was elected who "stood hy his friends" and gave Powers an unconditional pardon.
