A speech made recently at tl*e "Sandy Creek Association1' by the Rev. J. W. Little, formerly ot Lancaster, but now prenchine atSanford,N. C., is attracting no little attention. Mr. Little made a unique division of mankind into two classes, the "square men and the round men." The square man, he said, stands four f-quare. Ho has tour corners. You know which way he faces. If he means you, you know it. There is nothing sneaking or backhanded about 1 him. Not everv one comes (ilmiu I can turn him. ' The round man any one can roil over, lie faee< in all direc tions. Lie will not tell you what , he thinks. II he wishes u> sav evil of you, l o will not say i< out. but will insinuate it. He is on nobod.v's side and yet every- ' body's." The newspapers commenting on Mr. Little's remarks heartily endorse his original views as to man. The Greenwood Journal, ( for example, says that he 'comes a- near expressing our ideas 01 what a man should he as anything we have ever seen." I he Journal adds that Mr. Little him-j self is a "square man," and from our knowledge of the zealous' and indefatigable evangehs', we are .prepared to endorse our es teemed contemporary's el as dtieation of him. There's nothing lit!1 tie about Kvangelist Litle except, possibly, his name. He i? : a man of striking originality and possesses in a marked degree the power to bring men to a realiza-i t'.on of their sinful ways. lie* has accomplished untold good throughout this country and we: trust that he may be blessed with health and strength to continue his useful work for many years to ' IUII1C, A FINE THIP IN STOHEFOU US The e?litor of the Lancaster; News thinks lie has taken a tail out ol Ito^k Mill He take* occa sion in Ins last issue to call our ; street railway car "something1, with a mule at one end of if and a nigger at the oilier." Brother Connors is pretty near riahtl about this; but he would be sur prised to know how very near Rock Hill is to building an elec-' trie toau. lie < light to com ? over >cCHsiotiiilly and are what . ? very , live city we have here?houses! going up ?11 over the place, etc. We might a'so add that Brother Connors could see one of those , "peek a boo" waists if he would put his bashfulness awav from him and come over here once in a while.?Rock Hill Record. The editor of The News will adopt the kindly suggestion of j the esteemed Record. At the very first opportunity we shall | .ro over and take a peep at Rock j Hill's peek-a-boos and other attractions. We shall, of course, as advised, put our k'bashfulness" in cold storage before leaving Lancaster. By the wav, does the Rock Hill peek-i-boo make a noise like an angel in tly time ? The News and Courier is making a noise nowadays like two new boards ot lite insurance trustees. The steamer Wittlekind,laden with immigrants for South Carolina, is expected to arrive inCharleston in a few days. There are a u 1 t a Ka f ? i- iyi ere nwnli/ionin C /\ ouiu iv ij\j Kit iiiu?r a|;|'iiv.ain a iui immigrants than the number aboard the ship. The man who during these wituly days can view his hat ai it goes bounding across the dusty street wi'.hout sending after it a red-hot discharge of blankety blank blanks possesses a brand of religion of which our "devil" is anxious to secure the seed. It is stated that Editor Liris b*ne, of Hearst's New York papers, gets a salary of a thousand dollars a week. The Anderson Mail says that there are some editors who wouldn't write the kind of stuff tha' goes into the I 1 r t ! lIHi'l'S fnr mlnrv I it'inn , . .. ~ J " as big, vv*iiicl? isenrnentlv true.

We can only surmise that at the rate .of progress now being made in that ! direction your aristocratic head will resemble Nighten Brown's whitewash brush and an assortment of greatgrandchildren will ; be follow ng at your ancient heels by the t me the job shall bo completed. The Augusta Chronicle of last Friday contains a highly com plimenlary notice ot Ac'or Charles M. Se ay?speaks ol hi-! enviable record as a comedian? 'no liner in New York than Mr. Seay"?mentions tbe various i plays in which he has taken h ad- j ing parts, says 'die is, although only a little over 30 years of age, | a veteran, in all but years,of the I American stage, and it is doubtful if the English stage can produce his superior," and yet, strange to relate, our esteemed Georgia contemporary does not once allude to the fact that Mr. Seav is a Georgian ! President Harvey Jordan, ot ' the Southern Cotton Growers' Association, is by no means dis- i couraged by the recent decline! in the price of cotton. lie expects very much better pricei later on. In a late statement issued by him to the farmers lie| -j? says: 4,lf thev will only sell their cotton slowly and check up the present heav\ r< ceipts at the ports very high prices can be easily maintained. liigh prices are bound to follow in the wake of a full real zi'ion of the short ness of this crop as compared with expectations two months ago." President Smith of the State Absociat on. give* the farmers pracli. a?ly tho same advice. In a publish d interview this week lie urge* ilie larmers not to tlwow :li ir co lon on the market. General complaint is being made against the present railroad service, belated trains being a daily occur:ence, greatly incoiivenienciig the traveling public and causing vexatious delay in the delivery ol mails. Even the Southern's faithful old ''Short Dog,'' as its early morning train going 3' u'h by Lancaster is call ed, which up to a short lime ago was remarkable for the rerrulari tj ot its habits, has caught the contagion of running behind schedule time. The machinists' strike ou the Southern is given as the reason for the irregular operation of the system's trains, but whatever the cause the public is being made to suffer no little.
