Gov. Mcsweeney recently received from W. D. Porchcir cf Charleston a ' va? nable revolutk>nary document, which was forwarded by Mr. Pem broke Jones in behalf of Mr. A. L. Nor rie of Wall street, New York, who de sired that the document should rest among the archives of South Carolina. It is one of King Georges warrants foi t'he paying of certain parties whose names are set forth "For victualling oui forces wietfln the province of South Carolina and Georgia with all species cf provisions between the 1st day ol Jamiary, 1761, and the 25th day ol j Maren following, both datas included.'1 The document is dated "Court at Saint James's this -thirteenth day of July 1761 In the first year of our reign," and "George H." appears in the upper left hand corner. Honea Path's new cotton mill is said to be assured at last. Thursday even ing last the board of corporators was appointed and the news comes that a charter will be applied for in a few days. The capital stock is to be $300, 000 and Mr. J. A. Brock, of Anderson, will be the president of the company. There is much talk to the effect that abig cotton mill will be built at Hat tcn's Shoals, on Tugalco River, in the near future. The water power there is Kie finest in the country and is in the hands of a strong company, who are bu??y engaged securing easements on I the Georgia and Carolina sides of the ! river and taking all necessary prelim- J inary steps.

At Washington prompt measures are being taken by the oflicials to deal with the bubonic plague in the Philippines and to prevent its introduction into the United States. It is known that Senator Beveridges resolutions on the Philippines, as it stands, is as fair in expression as is possible of the situation of the Repub lican Senators upon this question. With the arrival at Manila of the transport Grant, wihich left San Fran cisco on the 21st ult., with the 48th volunteer infantry (colored), General ! Otis will have command of an effective i force of about 65,000 men, and the en- | Ure volunteer strength of 34,000 men j will be in the Philippines. The steamer Rio Maru was wrecked off Omai Cape. She struck a submerg ed rock and soon afterwards foundered. The Reichstag, after reconvening, will soon consider a number of impor tant measures, including the meat in spection bill. Therefore, the Agrarian press re-opens the fight on American meat. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung severely abuses the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce's annual report, in whieii the hope is expressed that the anti measures would be stopped and that economic harmony with the United States would be re-established. Since the opening of the new year two new South Carolina cotton mills have applied for charters. The De kalb at Camden, capital stock $200.000, and the Monaghan at Greenville, $500, 000. The Rock Hill Harrow manufac turing company, $50,000, ?has also been incorporated. A woman signing herself Georgia A.

Gove mor Mcsweeney 's Message Read Tuesday. The General Assembly of Sonth Car olina assembled at noon Tuesday. Sen ator R. B. Scarborough becomes Lieu tenant Governor, succeeding Miles B. Mcsweeney, who became Governor on the death of William M. Ellerbe, June 2, 1899. In his annual message Gov ernor Mcsweeney congratulates the General Assembly on existing condi tions. There i^ no bitter political fac tionalism in the State and South karo lina has advanced wonderfully in the year just ended. There has been no mob violence and good order has pre vailed. The condition of the State finances is encouraging. There were 7,158 per sons on the State's Confederate pension rolls, <the total appropriation being $100,000. In the State Hospital fer the Insane are 1,002 inmates, 599 white and 403 colored. In the State prison are 1,073 convicts. This institution netted the State $12,500.56. The phosphate mining industry shows an increase of $15.856.64 in royalty to the State. The net income of railroads in the State for 1899 was $2,701,430.16. The follow ing new lines were constructed or are being constructed: Atlantic Coast Line, 34 miles; Southern, 31.2 miles; Seaboard Air Line, 91 miles; Sumter & Wateree, 15.8 miles; Lockhart & Un ion, 15 miles; Conway & Seashore, 10 miles; Camden & Sum-er, 20 miles; to tal, 237 miles. This represents an out lay of about $600 and will add at least j $2,500,000 to the taxable property in j the State. In the Institute for Deaf, I Dumb and Blind 186 pupils are cared for by the State. Speaking of the cotton mill outlook the Governor says: "In cotton manu facturing South Carolina leads all of the Southern States and stands second only to Massachusetts in the number of spindles, and second to none in equipment If the progress of the past year augurs anything for the future, we shall soon lead all others in this important industry and instead of fur nishing any of our staple crop for ex port to other places for manufacture we will be large importers of cotton from other places to supply the local demand. During the past year eleven new mills have been organized aud are in progress cf construction, represent ing a total capital of $3,273,000. Six teen old mills have been enlarged, rep resenting an increase of their capital stock of $2,429,000." Governor Mcsweeney suggests a complete change in the management of the State liquor dispensary, delegating the powers of the board of control to State officers and a commissioner to be elected by the General Assembly. He also calls attention to the impending danger from trusts. The following is the conclusion of the message, which consists of a gen eral resume of the State's progress and lier present condition: There has been no mob violence du ring the past year and general good or 4??-ira's prevailed throughout the State. The county of Darlington is to be con gratulated on giving a legal trial and execution for a crime that usually re sults in summary justice. This spirit is ! s g^?p?^%?2^coSTmS?ae?; Viii j's (fflHBHTm great respect for the prop- j er and legal channels^ administering j n the laws. I have thus endeavored to obey the mandate of the Constitution laid upon the Governor to "give to the General Assembly information of the condition of the State, and recommend for its consideration such measures as he shall deem necessary or expedient" I have not presumed to lecture you on economy for I feel sure that you realize as fully as I do the needs of our people, and will be as economical in the expendi ture of public money as is consistent with efficient service. The burdens of taxation always fall heavily, but where there is wise and necessary expendi ture of the public fund for the general good, no reasonable taxpayer will com plain. You should deal with the affairs of State in a business like manner and as a prudent 'business man would man age his private affairs. If you find that in any department the expenditures can be cut down without hurt to efficient service? it is your duty to cut tnem down. Useless and extravagant appro priations should under no circumstan ces even be considered. Prudent and careful economy should guide you in all matters touching the State's Anaces. I invoke upon all your deliberations the guidance of an all-wise and over ruling Providence, and trust that what ever you do may oe done with an eye single to the good of all the people of the State.

New York, Oct. 31.-The color que* tion has been raised in New York at the School of Applied Design for Wo men, 200 West 23d street, for the first time in its history. Miss Julia Wilk ins, of Atlanta, Ga., who has been at tending the school for ?three years, has withdrawn because she objects to Miss Ralston, of Worcester. Mass., who is also a student, and who ,she claims, is colored. 'Mis3 Wilkins complained to Miss Pond, the superintendent of the school, some days ago, of Miss Rals ton's dark skin, and demanded to know something of her parents. Miss Pond made inquries, and when she re ported to Miss Wilkins the latter de clared that either she or Miss Ralston would have to leave the school. Miss Pond brought the affair to the notice of the board of directors, who without hesitation, decided that some charge other t'haia the darkness of her skin should be brought against Miss Rals ton, or she should be allowed to re main at the school. Miss Wilkins thea left. The Major: We gave information some time ago concerning colored men in Cuba, there being no discrimination beeause of their color, and now we give the Star of Zion's clipping from the Tribune: "The Negro in the ci gar factories, the shops, the newspaper offices, in domestic service and An all branches of public administration, while the white "men and women work side by side with the black ones, and where the employer, following the so cial bent of Latin civilization furnishes the two daily meals ali eat at the same table. At the theater are Negro mu sicians in every orchestra and dark skinned performers can be found on the Havana stage. Racial equality is enforced moreover in the use of all public conveniences and the enjoyment of all of all popular privileges. Express: The financial status of our race, when known, will enthuse the people to aim higher. We owned in 1890, 13,690,152 farms and homes in the United States; in the North At lantic States 1,204 farms and 324,747 homes free from debt. Wealth is pow er. Homes and money is what we greatly need, for poverty is one of the breeders of crime and bad citizenship; wealth is a barrier against a -life of romance and plunder. Hon. John C. Dancy is now engaged in writing the life of the late Dr. J. C. Price. He tells us that the matter will soon be ready fer the press. The book will contain about 400 pages, lt goes without saying that the work will be thoroughly done. Mr. Dan cy's long association with Dr. Price peculiarly fits bim for the task he has undertaken. The bock will doubtless find a ready sale. The Negro should remember that citizenship means more than the right to vote and hold office. The man whose aspirations runs no higher than the political arena is not worthy cf citizenship. The man who comes up to the standard of noble purpose is not the man only who is interested in politics, but who is interested in thc great busy world, whose heart re- j sponds to all the noble impulses and | ^to"K^epis?.?t.4h^ hu^^^???^^'ji Prof. W. F. WTilcox, of Cornell Uni versity, the eminent sociologist and a proven friend cf the Negro, has re cently shown that in the Southern States there are 29 Negro prisoners to ! every 10,000 Negroes, while in the Nor- j thern States there are 69 prisoners to j every 10,000 Negroes, and that the in crease of prisoDiers in the Southern States to each million Negroes between 1880 and 1890 was 29 yer cent., whils that for the same number of whites for the same length of time, was only 8 per cent. There are three things which under lie and compese the principles of suc cess of any people. They are concen tration, combination and co-operafion. Wfthout them even success itself is a failure. The lack of them has retarded the Negro's progress. If they had been learned and obeyed our condition and position today would have been dif ferent. Had they been carried ?ut the Coleman Cotton Mills would have been running and making money. Permanent and lasting peace be tween the white and colored people is an accomplished fact in Georgia. Good white people and good colored people are in the ascendancy. Now and then bad white people outrage some bad black man, and vice versa; yet, in spite of the pranks of the lawless, thc good, upright and intelligent of both races in our Empire State are on speaking terms of the Gospel, and the devil and his imps can't interrupt our love feast Andrew Carnegie has given $300,000 to Cooper Union for the establishment of a day school, similar in scope to the night schcol, and the object of which will be to give such practical instruc tion as shall enable young men to be come first class and skilled workmen.

The term "secret service money" li usually applied to a fund placed at the disposal of ministers to be expended at their discretion in promoting or pro tecting the interests of this country. These moneys consist of a sum of ?35, 000 annually, included in the estimates, in respect of which ministers are only required to make a declaration that the moneys spent have been expended "in accordance with the intentions ot parliament." As ministers are required to give no account of their steward ship it is obvious we have no means of knowing how these moneys are ex? pended. The reader, however, who car ries his mind back to episodes within his knowledge, such as the couapse of the Fenian conspirators or of their la ter development, the "Irish Invinci bles," will have Uttle difficulty in re alizing how indispensable a fund of this kind is to the protection of a state, and of understnding the infinite Tari ety of uses to which it mar be applied. *-?^amberf Jwrnai TflB PLANO ON ARCHEV RO*Dl j i? a id le lb: as m ss M do The Aatbor of "*?>.
