The co ton crop has been about marketed, and it is * go >d ti:ee for onr subscriber* to p?y 'h- ir subscriptions. Look at your label and pay what yon j owe. Now we underhand why Great j Britain, Ra^ia an i all the great pow- j ?'? ?i*fl mnr.li interested in China, and j why eojae people are so anxious for I the United States to enter the squabble. It is the ?ame old story?greed for the yellow metal. A story is going the rounds of the press that Utd ed Slates Cocsnl George F. Smithtr-, located somewhere in China, h<n made a report to chis Government that in certain parts of China gold is found. That's enough, tiaen*' ureat dhim j gone to war i:i South Africa to gain possession of the gold mines there? Are we not wsging a war in the East now to increase oar commerce? The love of money is at the root of wars in these days, and already ibrre is serious talk that the United Stales mast insii-t on 'the ?>pen d >or." in China, even if it mast be done by force of arras. Bn' it will be well to investigate Consul Smithers' repot t before sendJrw* nni- ?o^i7 nn?J trnnns to China. Ius "? ; ? r- -- The story is that the Chinamen turn geese into the gold fields and the geese eat the gold. The Chinamen then bill the geese to get the metal. Wtat a boom this will make in the geese I uuness. Of course, a goose is good only one day. When the fowl has been Slied with the preeious stuff, it must be killed and a iresn goose-miner pm i in the next day to fill the plsce of the I dead one. This will create a great demand for geese, bnt geese will be worth something in China?literally about their weight in gold. All of this slory sounds very incredible, bat it is said to be the offi rial report of a United States consul. Next Thursday has been set apart by the Governor of the State as a day of thanksgiving. Often these days are not observed, and it is not too co?v to nrgernpou the community the importance Of observing thisdiy. Apart from a religious standpoint, the day should be observed. The huinao mind and body needs a relax once in a while from toil, *nd especially from worry. Thft clerks in the stores and everybody will be benefited by a rest?even this one day?from cares and the monotonous routine of daily duties. Above H aiitLtiixwrg crffci Ilig' 02T thanks shonld go up to the Almighty for the blessings of life. Everybody has received some blessing darin the year, ard it shonld be remembered on next Thursday. We hope that every place of business will be closed next Thursday. A fight will be made in the Georgia Legislature to repeal the law, by wbieh judges and solicitors are elected bv tbe people. The Angnsta Herald 6ays that the law making tbe election by the people, and not by fhe General Assembly, has worked well. It argues, Eocndly we think, that members of the General Assembly often know nothing of the legal talents of the candidates, ana that each circuit ought to elect its own officers. We have often thought that the Georgia law would be a good thing for South Carolina. Judges are generally elc?ted by the General Assembly out of that body, for the obvious reason that tbe candidate is gen" eraiiy better known by the members. | A Geof' .a legislator gays bethinks the new dog law will rai-e b revenue of $250,000 He csn bet his railroad pass that it will r*i$e annwcropuf statesmen two years trim now ?

The yellow dog has a strong hold on the Legislature of this State. - Columbia Then give us a new crop, and lei's keep on tr>iog a new crop until we shall get a crop that wi l support thr* sheep. A sheep c;*op is badiy needed in South Carolina. Mors people have money than there were ten years ago, or more people J have faith in bank* than ton year* ago.

I agree with you when yon say, between Bryau and McKinlev you wii! take Bryan every time. I Jeel like saying me too. I don't want any Republicanism in mine, not this uai.i.aryism, imperialism, and republicanism with all of greed and avarice, hoodivinkinjr and bamboozling ia my pontics. I feel confident that those jOf our peopie 'in the South and West vrLo endorse McKinley'f policy will, if ihey live the time ailotted to man, realize the mistake of the views they now entertain. Co-operations, combinations, eradicates ai:d monopolies have u<ed their influence to have the Supreme Court of * be United S^tes construe' the constitution of the United States to suit ev-.*ry political exigency that has origh atod in the minds of unscrupulous and designing men . who ora Ttuikiag'TOT Tiair OWIi personal or^andisement.

C. i. nv TCTK BATTLE OF f JR?< Av?'y v- ? ? COLD HARBOR. 2?r Editor: T saw ?ud r-.ad a piece iu The News and Herald, written by one Joel Hough, who belonged to the 2nd 5 C. Regiment, about a Sergeaut Rerafccrt of that regiment, in regard to the stcond ?"o;d Harbor fi^ht. Well, having b-.-eu ihere, aiid a member of Company G, 3rd Batta ian, will give you a few thoughts or lines as to my recollection of the same, and ;be part j I played in that fight. 1 win no Odes i a few days before ihe fight a'nl tell a few things that happened <;nr march from Hanover Junction to Cold Harbor. The 20th S. C. Regiment joined Kershaw's Brigade, said 10 hive been 1,200 strong, in command of Col. Keitt. Some of the boys said that Kershaw's Brigade had joined the 20. h Regiment, as it had more men thia our brigade. Be tbat as it may, we landed at Cold Harbor after dark an.l were feeling our way very cautiously, uot even a whi>psr or rattle of eanteen was allowed, aDd stopping every few steps. We suddenly came to a hilt, about-faced, and marched back and around up the hill where we camped for the night in a field and with very little fire. The next day we moved out, the brigade in command of Col. Keitt. The 3rd Battalion, under Capt. Wbitener, was thrown out on au old blind road on the flank, to guard against any flankers. General Kershaw was in command of the division that dav. The brigade moved forward under Col. Keitt, through the field into the woods, found the Yankees behind breastworks, and moved * ' 'v - * - -t. tkAm Tho Draveiy 10 me iasK uexuie iucuj. 20th was in the ceDtre of the line. Some of the older regiments bad gotten to the works and were paasing over when the word ran along: the line that Col. Keitt wa3 killed. The 20th became panicky and gave way. When the Yankees sa;v the confusion they poured through the gap made and the whole line fell back. A line was formed, part of which was ju3t in trout of a piece of woods ana part extending through the field to the piece of woods that we (that is the 2nd ftegimenl 3rd Battalion) had to retake a few days later. V ell, the battalion was left in front nearly one mile, when the brigade fell back. We were ordered out late in the evening, and going out had several men wounded. When we got out, there was no room for us on the front line, so we lay m the woods with the 2nd Regiment behind. Gen. Kershaw's headqusrters, which were in a house near the line of battle, had tour pieces of artillery in front. We lay there until the next evening, *hen we were ordered to go to the right and retake the works that were spoken of by Mr. Hough. Ic tie confusion that is aiways in & fight, we ou tho lefv of the battalion, two companies were ordered by the left flank at a double quick, and when we bad gone seme distance, found that the others had gone to the right. We fell in with the 8th Regi ment and stayed until nrx'- day,Then we wpi;! over and joined the battalion. I tell vou it ?/as a clo.^e shave to get thpre, a? d when we di J, had to come oat a?ain quickly, as there was no mom for us in the ditch I think the next .lay the enemy had a battery tbut was di-mounting cur guns as fast as th'-y were put up. A cad was taacte tor sixteen rm-n to ?0 to the front and si5o?jce ihosc gu^e. I had cbaigc of tlie sixteen me> w'jo went. We we.iced onr way up a ravine, then to ibe br;W of a hill in thu woods, where we dujr pi;s. When *ii wr.s ready, I placed eight men in each D:t and gave the order to fire, which they obeyed with a will At lt;e first volley the Yankee sharpshooters were nut over sixty yards from u*, and I t?ll you they aia not fctay there long-, nor did they retnrn the 6re. We could no: see the battery for the smoke which was belched forth from the guns. It was not long before tbey were silenced ror god. It was said by a Yankee prisoner ihst (very horse was either kilifeii or di'ablfcd, and so were the men. I know that I shot about eighty rounds there in a short time and th >se guns never shot any more from that point. Tns enemy charged Gen. A. 1'. Hill's snd Hoke's divison on our rieht and I fell you it was awful to see the slaughter at that point. 60 much for my recollections. Mr. R. H. Jennings was in command of Companies F and G that day.
