"WATEREE" COUNTY.
nnj trt'rl hf Hip R:(]o-fi A av OF
^ ?... .. ...
respondent of the CVurnbia Sate:
"Petitions are bei"?rci^cula'e 1 in Fairfield
and Kersbaw counties to obtain
the s'grnatntcs of one-third of the
voters?the necessary number lo have
before an election can be ordered ?for
the purpo3e of forming a new countv.
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

popula'i)n of Tex*S (2,200,000 in
1S90) is pr -bdbly near 3,GOO,COO.

"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."

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. It it
practically admitted, a? cl-iimed ia the
appeal. <lth.it conquered all the coan

' I. O. O. F., and a large, refined and
intelligent audience, was indeed a rare
[s Jilera-v treat of an unusual and attract
^e merit.
The address was preceded by ihe
reading of the Scriptures, followed by
>f prayer and tbe singing of tbe ode.
nt The address was elegant in matter
a and delivered with spirit and anima
r tion. It was replete with though-and
18 ideas and wa9 full of worldly wisdom,
o Throughout the whole address there
j, was a wholesome regard for sacred
things which were treated wi?h that

Unaffected am* natural his clear, rich
' voice was at its best and every word
was heard all over the court room.
)- The address was of a sensible Ijngth
a, for tbe occasion ana iook up some
" thirty-five minutes in its delivery. At
its termination every one regretted he
" ccuid not hear him longer. It was so
ct captivatng, so novel and to original
that the lime taken e-eemed bat a lew
lg moments. It was (f a most happy
length. His magnetic delivery held
the undivided atteniim of a most inr
telligent audience. The speaker is a
-e man of unusual oratorical powers,
c being graceful in gesture and charmtDg
in diction.
13 He began by sajiug same words of
g courtcsy to his andience a: d passing
y. up to the merits of his theme?duty of
1 Odd Fellows and their relation to
society?be entered at once on bis sublD
ject. He quoted Sir William HamilST
ton's expression that "thare is nothing
great in man but mind.7' From this
0 hii deduced from the superiority of
man ihe gieat responsibility for bis
> acts and the proper use of his opporre
tunities. With this great superiority
p comes the great duty of responsibility
not only for the exercise of his intellect
alone, but lor s refined exercise of
3* the feelings and instincts of common
manhood and a kind and generous
citizenship. lie dwelt at length
tfpon the benefits maokiDd most desire

broadened and charitable view of life.
ir The encouragement of a religions
is spirit not of any particular denooainad

j. was discussed. The Order did not
)t discriminate against any faith nor
r. did it ictermeddle io tbis matter at
all farther than to encaurage [the obof
common r>rincin!es nnon
which all denominations are founded,
It gave great encouragement to the
e work of all churches in that it taught
by wholesome lessons the principles
'e inculcated in the Golden Rule. The
,e asperities of life were calmed, cooled
5- and tempered.by the lessons taught in
e the Lodge room. Toere was a recognition
of the common lot of men and
of the need to moderate the sorrows

The Morris County Trolley Company
wants a franchise over the roads
of the county, but with the sweet
reasonableness characteristic ot i s
kind, it does "not want to pay a
blanked ceot for it."
Oo the other hand, an automobile
company has been organized, with a
paid noncapital of $25,000, which proposes
to buy ten horseless vehicles,
each to carry sixteen persons, and to
run at regular intervals, giving a
cheap and effective service.

county being formed, the people of

a court house Jand jail. The editor
