Th? propped new cmntv will embrace the eistera and southern parts of Fairfield County, the western part of Kershaw aud perhaps a small'trip of Richland county. ' Waters" has been suggested as a fitting name for ^ 4 \e. 0 the new county wun iuugewav & > tm.county seat. Ia the event of the new county bein^ formed, the people of Ridge way propo:e to bnild and furnish a court house and j-iil. Tiie editor of Tbe News aud Herald seems to think tbis 'a great j ?ke\ bat we assure him it is not, as some of ihe most influential iti3n of our vicinity and Kershaw are interestiug tbeui-e'ves in the matter." For personal rei>0'H wi ari interested in Rid^ewav's progress, and would gladiy we!c?mj anyth:n^ ihat wonld !exd to ber prosp:rit >, but we fear tbat "the most it-flu mtial tujn" of Rid^eway hive q ?t tui:y co-i<iuerea Ridgeway au counry *eit. Secion 5 of Act VII of the constitute >n i< as follows: 4<In ths fjrmitba of new couities in old county f-hall be cat within eight uiilss of its court house building." Ridgeway is not over eight'a id one half miles from the present court h->n4e. and n>33iblv an accurate sur vey wjuld show that it U only eight miles or le-s. This me.in3 fciat the line between Fairfield and "Wateree" wouid ran between Dr. i\ilraer's hoase And the toTo of Ridgeway, and if Rid^ewav grow?, as we expect it to do, it would hive to reach oat only a few hiudred yards to get iolo Fairfield County. The disadvantages attending a county suit so close npou the line of another oanty. are so obvious ihit we need not mention them. By examining a map, moreover, it will be seen that Ridge?,*ay would be away up in the northwest orner of the new ounty. Its imporiancj would entitle it to be mide the county seat, bat unfortunately its geographical position in the new county would be uc4 uaim?. Ridgeway i* a thriving, hustling little town, and Fairfield ciu't affjrd to lose h-jr. If the new county is formed Ridgeway may be disappointed in her ambition to become the connty seat aud it would be too bad for her infliantial men t) have h id all their labors only to make another place the county seat. THE COM3IITTEE REPOKTS. T113 penitentiary investigate# committee has made its report. The committee makes no recommendation, but merely reports the evidence and its findings. The testimony has been fully reported from time to time, and the report really contains nothing new. The omroittee, however, deserves the thanks of the people of the State for the thorough and honest search after the trath. No whitewashing has characterized the committee.: ' The conclusion reached is that Col. Neal has been kind to the convicts, that he owes the State about $11,72-1.41, of which amount Uol. JNeal admns ne is | dae $3,584.41. The whole leport shows that Co!. Neal has been exceedingly generous to bis friends, aod especially to himself, and that the penitentiary has bean managed rery carelessly. The committee fiud that the farming property is iu fine condition, but it is a question whether the f-irms have been profitable to the State. Tae London Spectator, in an editorial some weeks ago, tcok the position that the world was losing faith iu liepublics; that the ideals sought by Re publics were not reaiiz-eii. ine spectator points out the state of public affairs in France, and the const uit fear of revolution there. Tho power of a people to rule and govern themselves through themselves and the decrease of taxation are not realized, it is claimed by the London paper. It points out that the enthusiasts in Republics must ce disappointed in the frequent and dangerous accumulation of vast fortunes by individuals. Doubtless our expansion policy is partly responsible for tkls lack of faith in Republics. The truth i?, that, under a Republican party, building up a oiiuiig uciiu ai gu ? ci uuicu uuu v?ti- | riding the constitutional rights of the! States, we have departed from the j orignal theory of this government. The authorities at Washington have given out this from Gen. Otis: "Manila, Aug. 10. "Adjatant General, Washisgton: "Have captured letters from high insurgent authority, exbortiDg inhabitants to hold out a little longer; that Earooean recognition will be grated by August 31s% and that the present | United States administra'iou will bii overthrown. Otis." The overthrow may be bokcd for ic 1900. Of course, some few men, petty types of Russell Sige, will decline to join the Lesgae to save the one dollar initiation fee, bat they wili not decline any benefits that may be received f from the work of the organization. TUE CENTER OF POPCLATIOX. Tbe cen-Ua, a? is generally known? generally K-nown because .-o many are seeking j;bs connected with it?will be taken in 1900. A very interesting accouot is given by the New York Sun as to how the centre of population has moved over the face of the map since the first national census was takei in 1790. Then tin centre of population was twenty-three miles east of Bahirnore. It re nained in the iieighbarhood of Biltimore in 1300, though in i hat year it was a little west of that city. In 1810 it was near Washington and in 1320 it was at Woodstock, Va.. and in West Virginia in 1330, 18-10 and 1850. In I860, it moved west,jasta little soutn of Chillicothe, Ohio In 1870, it was on a line between Chillicothe and Cincinnati; in 1880, it drew very near Cincinnati, and in 1890, the iast year o!" the nationil census, it wai in Decatur County, lad., near the Ohio boundary. The Su.; makes the following interesting pre< ij:i >n a* to where thecentrc of popu!a'i>n will be found i>i 1900: <;By the .orai-ig census the Ohio a*.d VoMoi' will n -nh i. f b!v be sinwn (o hive vainert ! ? < from direct foreign immigration tba > in any previous (it-cade, while the citizens ol the Middi and New England States have relatively gained more There has been a -ubstantial increase i i p ?pulafion, 1-j ger probablv than in any * - ? r i \ir?.. pe- 1)U sin:; me cio?e ui. tuc oun ??<*>, isi the Southern and South border State.?; ami a much larg<r increase it tho>e of tuc Southwest, most liotablv in Tt'X-is. :li) total yot^ of whiih i ? creised fro'u 230 000 in 1SS0 to 3-iO.OOG in 1890 a ?i 550,000 in 189C. The popula'i)n of Tex*S (2,200,000 in 1S90) is pr -bdbly near 3,GOO,COO. "A state censu3 taken ot Ivans is it, 1895, on the o;her hand, showed the population of t^' t State to be 1c5f than In 1890, whilo in the same period -1 ? . . - . _ xr T j tne pop HI anon Oi I'M.iVV ders r-y iia-j i;i creased ?6 per cent.

"The growth of population in Amer iean Stales between 1S90 and 1&00 wil be in accordance with the increase o the urban populaiion in eaehraibei than with t ie gain in agricnl'ural districts. As a majority of the cities are in the Nortii, it appears likely that the 'center of ] opulation' in 1900 will be 011 or near ne benks of the Wabash ir the State of Indiana, at some poin! northwesteiiy from the present center and nearer the Illinois than the Ohic State line." q?? The appeal of the Poilipinos to jhe Powers for nc ignition of their inde : peuuecce is strong. mgu yusiuyu i; [ taken by tr.ese so-called savages, ant the civilized world will beimpresec with it; though, of course, it will will have no effect on tbe sordid and i heartless commercial interest < ! moneymaking America. The money power wants the islands; what does it care for liberty? Doe3 this same power not oppress people ot i s country Witling r?r>rn;r-ipr!r?p? At all event?, however, the appeal is a creditable production, and it will dc much towards establishing in histor\ that the Americans have come n<urei acting as if they were savages than these poor wretches, who are seeking self-governmeut and liberty. The argument of the Puilipmo: j i;that they had conquered the sovereignty of !heir islands from Spain before the signing of the treaty in Paris, and, 'herefore, Spain was in nc Dosition to cede them to the United States" can -;ot be weakened by shooting these Philipinos to death.
