WEDNESDAY, DEO. 2, 1803. i, .rr It is announced that that gallant old "Confed," Gen. fl Joseph Wheeler, will soon wed a Boston lady. When the general sings ''Dixie" we wonder^ if she will join hearti ly in the chorus? Grover Cleveland, who has been frequently mentioned as >Vthe probable Democratic j. nominee for 1904, has an vi nounced. that his determina: ti?n not to become a candidate J is unalterable and conclusive. ?s Cleveland is no longer a presidential possibility maybe Bryari>will cease to nag him. 'Usually the menu cards of M hotels are so Frenchy that one cannot tell whether he is ordering ambrosia or bacon , ; and collards. The menu card .J] of a- fashionable hostelry, on i~ Thanksgiving day was some-J what^of^a.exception, how ; 5 ever/ as it called some dishes -by. their primeval Anglo-Sax on names, one of the meats *. " treing "suckling^pi^: 5 J The sportive millionaires from the ? north with their : '.. . - wives, with their manservants, with their maidservants, with their oxen and with their asses are daily arriving in Aiken. Now, lookout for Sabbath desecration, etc., but the Air| kenites will continue to say not a word about it lest they offend and drive away these men and their money. :-; . The semi-centennial of the founding of Wofford college, th?t splendid institution which during its many years of ex istence has sent forth hun Jfici lay iiSeu,1 wiirtie1 cere phto? during June next. Those of the Methodist persuasion in the state are justly proud of tiiis school which is fostered by the South Carolina Confer-1 ence. \ )Although nearly a year has elapsed since the movement was begun, only three of the ten thousand dollars that are to be raised by popular sub scription for. the Hampton monument fund are in sight. A special effort will be made at.once to secure the remain ing $7,000. Edgefield should contribute Jier ,share toward the erection of a monument to the memory of Gen. Wade Hampt?rf.-* ~ ~ In view of the fact that the .-^^lored^people_ .avail them selves of every opportunity to j send their .children to school, it behooves the" white parents to make every possible sacri fice to educate their children. According to the annual re . Sbrjt pf the State Superinten dent of Education, which will be submitted to the legislature, fll-tn^re are 20,000 more colored than white children in the schools of this state, .Certain Republicans are en deavoring to have an actpass ed4>y the national congress annulling the "Jim Crow" car laws that have been passed and have proved satisfactory to both races in most of the southern states. Would that these selfsame Yankees were ? required, whenj they come *o S?utfi,^to" ride in " the "Jim Crow" cars instead of their I private cars, veritable palaces | on wheels. Then they would realize, to their discomfort, the necessity and desirability of having separate coaches. The adjutant generals of several of the states will peti tion Congress to amend the -newly enacted militia law so that the members of the vol omteer companies will receive some pay when -not on duty. It has been suggested that the men be paid $1 for each drill they attend during the year. This would cause the soldier boys to take more interest in military affairs. It requires more than "company pride" to keep up the enthusiasm of the privates in military affairs during these times of peace. Several years ago many farmers were almost forced into bankruptcy, by the lbw price of cotton. Indeed many for the lack of the wherewithal to run their farms had to abandon them. Now the tide has turned. The farmers are rejoiced o'ver the prevailing high" price of the fleecy staple, but many cotton mills have lost .heavily and some have been permanently crippled thereby. Along with the mills the operatives puffer. The wages of 32000 operatives in the north have been recently cut io per cent* Some south ern mills have also been heavy loosers. Gold Spring.
