The Pope's strength is rapidly failing, aud candidates for the office are coming out. ID our war with Spain we had 329 soldiers killed in battle; 125 died of wouuds, and 5,277 of dis ease. It is said that Europe is grow ing jealous of the prosperity and importance already attained by the. United States. The Neal investigation has bean resumed and there aro indictions that the amount of his shortage will be very materially increased by future developments. It was one of Bismarck's most poignant regrets that in his old age he could eat only three hard boiled eggs at a sitting, whereas he formerly thought nothing of eleven. Chicago is getting ready to bid for both conventions next year. A mammoth colliseum building to hold 15,000 peop1* is to be con structed pu the site now occupied by .Libby prison. Dried bananas are becoming quite an article of food. Queens land is inaugurating the new industry. They take the place of raisins in puddings and are said to be not only very palatable but exceedingly nutritious. The situation in the Philippines is not altogether satisfactory. Our troops are successful in a measure it seems, but losses are heavy and they outnumber us. Have we U. S. & Co. put our foot into it, up to our necks? The Second South Carolina reg iment that has been doing garri son duty in Cuba for several months, has arrived in Augusta, where it will be mustered out. The boys did not enjoy their stay in Cuba, yet no doubt they will have many good stories to tell of their experiences there. The United States government or at least some of its agencies, have n;-rw engaged in that most djfficu of all reforms, a dress r?forn. In San Juan, Porto Rico an edict has gone forth that the little children shall no longer run naked in the streets. It will require cotton goods to clothe the little ones, and the mills of the South are very close to Porto Rico. This may mean new business for them. Messrs John P. Thomas, Jr., and Cole J. Blease attorneys for State Constables W. R. Crawford, Cole man, Dorn and Coole}-, charged witn the murder of Mrs. Stuart, made application for bail for the defendants before Julge Ernest Gary in the court house, at Lancaster, on the 8th.

Anthony Hope's New Romance Anthony Hope's new romance, which he has just finished, is called "The Countess Emilia," and has been purchased by The Ladies' Home Journal, in which periodical it will immediately begin. The story is about a beautiful Countess. She has quarreld with her husband, and they have decided to live in seclusion in separate wings of the castle. Ihis they do until Captain Dieppe, who becomes a member of the household, inadvertently opens a doer, through which are revealed to him the apartments of the exiled Countess, with the beautiful occupant standing in a doorway. The Captain falls in love with the young woman, and from this point there is not a moment's cessation in the romantic adventures which ensue in the castle, its gardens and neighbering places of rendezvous, j HOTT to Help Your Town. Push it, talk about it, write about, speak well about it, help improve it, choke the croaker, beautify the streets, patronize its merchants, advertise in its news papers, prefer home enterprise al ways, speak well of its enterpris ing men ; if you cau't think ot some good to say keep quiet; if you are rich invest in something to employ eomebody ; be a hustler, bo courteous to strangors that come among you so that they will go away with a good impression ; always cheer up the men that go in for improvements. Your own portion of the cost will only be what is just. Don't kick about necessary public improvements be cause they are ?ot at your own doer or for fear that your taxes might be raised fifteen cents. Tlie Teachers' Association at the Ridge. The Edgefield Ridge Teachers Association which was held at Ridge Spring on the 4th of March, was a grand success. Friday evening March 2rd, Er. Woodward President of the of the S. C.'

Prof. Anderdon made an instructive talk on Histor}*. Pi cf. Bailee Johnson, Peurifey .iud Entzminger joined in the dis cussion. -The subject of Physical culture was admirably handled by Miss S.

On invitation of the President, Mrs. Bailey favored the audience with a piano solo. Two excellent papers were read on primary work, one by Mrs. Center, and the other by Mrs. Huiet. Both of these ladies are experienced and success ful teachers, and their papers brought out much valuable in formation to all prfsout.

G O T TON EXPANSIONISTS. Every Cottontot in the State Should Read This. The Augusta Herald says "Old Jim Crow," of Chawrosum, Ga., is a philosopher in way, and down thereunder the "shade of the treess he has been holding an Academy. He teaches by sarcasm, but it's all the* same if he gets there, and hip latest contribution to the common good is well calculated to do that same. He is the enemy of the overproduction of cotton, and start ed to organize a society to further his ends. He has addressed a circular to the faithful, which reads as follows: "Yes 'whoop 'em up,' and let it come. Haul out the guano and buy all tho mules you possibly can. Get some merchant to 'run you.' Plant cotton all over creation, between your watermelon rows*.in missing places in the corn, plant the garden just as soon as the vegetables are oiT. Put it in the fence corners, and arouud wherever you can 'stick' a hill in your wife's flowergarden. Ye?, plant cotton 'world without el d.' Make it so low that a fellow won't pick it if you give him what Le gathers, and furnish him'free hash' while he picks. Go it boys, 'go it while you're young.' for when get old you can't raise it. But, one consolation ; when you can no longer j inc the boys in the job of keeping on a first class case of poverty debt, and bankruptcy for the country, you can put in your contribution to the general ruin as a first class calamity howler. Cut this out and keep it for 'ready reference' all through the }-ear. Don't go to bed to-night without calling up all the children, with their nulher and reading this to them. Then maybe, they will dream of cotton and devise methods for making more cotton even while they sleep. And hea'r brcther! don't fail to take this to meeting next Sunday, and go soon, before the preacher gets there, so you can call up 'the nabors' and have every fellow understand plans for the current year. Then, if he don't go our way and lands uext December in plenty aud peace, and can't 'jine the band' in the annual chorus of hunger, rags and debt he'll be with out excuse and can't lay the blame of his condition at our door." STATE NEWS. An effort is being made to have all of the veterans of the Mexican war present at the Confederate re uniou in Charleson in May. Cheap as dirt doesn't apply to Aikeu real estat9 any more. Last week Alek Williams, colored, sold the old Burckhalter place of 190 acres to a rich New Yorker for $10,450, or-$55 per acre. Tho Greenwood conspiracy case will be called for trial at the Apri1 term of the Fede ral Court in Green ville. A. H. Dean will conduct tho defense. Abial Lathrop is District Attorney and will pros ecute the accuped. The State Sunday School Con vention will meet in Sp-irtanburg ou April 20th. The Mayors of South Carolina will meet in aunu?l convention in Newberry in May. In the court at Newberry, a man was indicted for larceny in stealing a dog. The defendant's attorney demurred to the iudictineut on the ground that a dog is not pronerty, and therefore, there can be no larceny of a dog. Judge Gage sustained the demurrer, and the. case was dismissed. James Rise/, white, who was couvicted some. time ago at the Newberry court for stealing from tko railroad at Pom ari a and sentenced to the peuit&ntiary for eighteen months has been pardoned by the Governor. Old age and ill health wore the grounds on which the pardon was asked for. Mr. John E. Partlow,of Green wood county, in attempting to walk Southern Railway bridge in the town of Greenwood, fell t? the ground, about twenty-three feet, badly breaking many bones, some j of which protruded from the flesh. I He is thought to bu fatally injured. j He is about sixty years of age, and j well-known to th?; people of this j sect ion. .'Extract ol' Bat Juice." Last week a gentlemau of this city, while riding on Mic train, met up with '?Citizen" Josh Ashley. The conversation turned upon the dispensary question, and Mr. Ash ley made a statement that will be a revelation to people who buy "liquor from that institution. Or rather, we should Bay, in the light of Mr. Ashley's revelations, con centrated extract of "rat juice" for this is what Mr. Ashley calls it. Before proceeding with the story, we will say for the benefit of those who are not acquainted with Mr. Ashley, that he is a sub stantial farmer of unquestionable veracity and a member of the Leg islature. He said that he recently visited the State dispensary in or der to observe the bottling process. The machinery of this department failing to work smoothly, it became necessary to ascertain the nature of the obstruction. The big vats iuto which the liquor is poured aud where it is diluted with water were examined. We do not know whether or not a drag net was used; but the re sult of the examination was that Commissif.ner Vance made a "haul" not of blind tiger stuff, but of dead rats and mice-about two bushels "i all, and the scum was as green as ever you "seed" on a mud hole in summer time. Thi . is the story as told to us and vouched for by Mr. Ashley. When you buy another bottle of "liquor" from the Sumter dispensary, ex amine it critically, aud perhaps fie presence of a stray hair or two may serve to convince you that what you have bought should realy be iabeled "chemically pure" rat juice.-Sumter Freeman. OBITUARY. On Friday, March 3rd, our commu nity was saddened by the death of Mrs. Ida Brooks, wile of .Mr. J. W. Brooks, and daughter of Mr. H. li. Tucker. For live weeks she liad been dangerously ill and suffered intensely, but bore it nil with remarkable patience and t/tuistian fortif!.J.e. She bad the best medical skill, the untiring devotion of a devoted husband, who never left her bed-side. AJI that loving parents and friends could do, was done for her re covery; but God knew best, and in His wisdom saw lit to take her horne, where there is no more sickness, sorrow, nor death. She expressed herself as being anxious to be spared to her loved ones, but that she was trusting in Jesus! How we prayed that her life might be spared, but we know lie doe!h all tilings well, and we can only say 'Thy will be done. Mrs. Brooks was a lady of rare cul ture and refinement-to know her was to love her. Indeed weall loved her Her funeral was conducted by Kev. J. T. Littlejohn at the Modoc Baptist church on Sunday at H o'clock, and the large crowd of sorrowing frisnds, both white and colored, that attended shows ?he high esteem in which she was held. She leaves eight children, one an in fant six weeks old, who will never know a mother's love. How she will be missed in that home. How hard it seams, but. we know tlu;t a loving Father has sent this alliiction. ile alone can heal the wound. To the heart-broken busland, father, mother and children, we can only say, look upward and trust in the Lord. May He bless this allliction o the good of the bereaved ones, is the earn est prayer of A FRIEND. Modoc, S. C. Kental Contra?is. An Act to declare the law in relation to temination of rental .ontracts. Section 1.
