In all ihe affairs of life, social
as well s.s political, courtesies
of a small and trivial character
are the cines which strike deep
est to the grateful' and appre
ciative heart.-HENRY CLAY.
A car shortage convention was
held last week. Next in order,
will be a pass shortage co uve ut ion

An exchange remarks that it is
absurd for a young man to pur
chase a talking machino w jen he
can marry one.
The weather bureau must have
turned over a new leaf on New
Year. It has been furnishing very
satisfactory weather th as far.
It ie alleged that water serious
ly, affects diamonds. Maybe that
ie. the reason so many girls of to
day object to putting their hands
in dish-water.
The four walls of the Senate
a:ad House should be emblazoned
? with tho word "Economy", as a
conetaut reminder to the law
makers who provide for the dis
bursement of the public funds.
During the p^aatyear'fviirl^
millions of dollars worth "ot* dia
jEfoiSoVwere imported by the peo
pie of this country. That portion
cir this enormous amount which
Clime to Edgefield would about
?qual the widow's mite, as com
pared with this large sum.
It is true that the salaries of
the state officers are low and that
tl.e cost of living is high, hut the
'legislature should bear in mind
tl?t?a. taxes are also high, probably
>afjj[tier than at any time since the
darle days of radical rule. In many
sections of the.state the people
are unable to carry a heavier tax

; The president's discharging
without honor the negro troops
'.Sthat murderously assaulted the
?r Texas town, has caused somewhat
of-? mix-up in congress. Party
? li?es have been obliterated. Con-,
?^iessman ?Bailey.; - of Texas, the
? ^Dsmocratic leader,, is standing by :
President Roosevelt, while Sena
.": to^Tillman and . Senator Foraker
farer, it seems, forone time, Bide by

Y,. :'i^Ar'statue is being made of Rob
G. Ingersoll, the agnostic, and
will b9 unveiled in Peoria, 111., on
the anniversary bf his death. Just j
'why a bronze statue will be erect
er eil to the memory of this "illus
?^?ns" agnostic, we are unable-to
. say. Certainly, a city should not
>*feel honored by havmg it grace
or e of its streets or parks.
?
;Some persons have been dis
- pcsed to speak lightly of and cast
slurs upon the work of the SalvK
iv .twin Armv. But after reading of I
? t?j?? very beautiful manner in
which they looked after the com
'. f?rta. and happiness pf the poor
dtlring the recent holidays in the
^large cities of the country, in
cltidiug several in our own state,
" they should change their opinion

place to ?ind words. '
??;^In?the matter of enforcing the
compulsory vaccination law, a j
:vipr??cedeat was established in the
? city of Greenville last week; Two
^leiiidents of that city resisted the
'^?ealth officer, stoutly refusing to
be vaccinated. They were arrest
ed and arraigned before a magis
trate, who fined them $100 each
; cr 30 days on the cbaingang.
Finding what an unfortunate
plight they were in, the men al
lowed themselves to be vaccinated.
fWihiereupon, the magistrate' sus
pended the sentence.
Tn discussing the raid upon the
town -of Brownsville, Texas, by
tho.negro soldiers, and their sub
sequent discbarge, the Augusta
Herald has the .following to say:
"The Brownsville affair has
nothing to do with the- race ques
tion. It is not a race issue, and
Senator Tillman will make a
great mistake if he attempts to
inject race prejudice into tbe
affair. If be does so his own po
:;i?t?i?n will be the more inconsist
ent. He ia doing a dangerous
thing when he takes the sid? of a
conpany of negro soldiers, d?8
?cb?trged without honor from the
?army of the United Sta'es for
?bel ter i nj murderers, merely b^
..cacfae he batps the pres.d'?nt and
opposes every other action of tbp
executive. South Carolinians will
not care to aee tb?ir Senator pul 1
$Jg-beside Mr. Foraker."
Occasionally it is reported that
constables iu Charleston shoot
horses that are hitched to vehi
cles loa led with contraband wbi&j
key iu order to seize the whiskey
and arrest the driver. What is the
matter with the public conscience
of Charleston which tolerates such
cruel, inhuman treatment of dumb
brutes? There would be more rea
son in shooting the driver, the
violator of the law, than the poor
dumb brute. Shooting the drivnr
would be unlawful, and there
ought also to be a law to punish
an. officer" for thus shooting a
beast of burden, unless tbe provo
cation should ' be exceedingly
great. Let Charleston wake up
and have such a law passed, if
chere be none, and then enforce
it after its passage.
A Utilitarian Age. '
The people of this age and
generation are of a decided* utili
tarian bent, the individual whose
achievements are of practical
benefit to. the world being.esteem
ed more highly than the military
geniuB or the literatos, however,
illustrious the career of the lat
ter may be. This is beiug demoD
strated by a contest that is now
on in 'France. A newspaper pub
lished iu Paris, having the lai
gest circulation of any news
paper on the contineut, recently
published the names, of a number
of eminent ,Frenchmen, reques?Lg
its readers to select the most il
lustrious teu. Thus far in the con
test, Pasteur, one of the greatest
of modern scientists, leads, hav
ing received by njajxp~^Tt)<r&a^dF

Small Quantity of Whiskey in Ev
idence During* the Holidays.
Seeing how" greatly the town of
Edgefield has been ben?fitted
through prohibition and desirrug
to know whether, the rural dis
tricts of the couuty had boeii
likewise bensitted, the writpr
questioned many thoughtful and
observant citizens who visited the
county seat on Monday, the first
Monday of the new year, as to the
effects of prohibition in their
respective communities after a'
year's trial. Citizens of Philippi,
Harmony, Colliers, Cieora, Elm
wood, . McKendree, Waycrose,
Meeting Street and other sections,
with one accord and with con
siderable emphasis, spoke of the
benefits derived from prohibition.
The little whiekey in evidence du
ring the Christmas eeas:n was
very noticeable ' in the country
districts. As a result of; this the
deportment of both white people
and negroes was -decidedly better
thin-during former yeais. From
these gentlemen we learnt d that
very little whiskey has been sold
in the country. In many L' itions
absolutely none has/been sold.
Two citizens whojeside on pub
He roads stated that before the
dispensary was voted out persons
would pass their homes, on re
turning from Edgefield, cursing,
driping hard, and at times firing
pistols, but that uow those who
pass are quiet and orderly. These
are some of the fruits of prohibi
tion in Edgefield county.
The statement of one citizen,
than whom there is no better man
in South Carolina, was particularly
gratifying to the writer. He said
that for several years past, owing
to the drinking and carousing of
some'young men . who attended ;
these functions, he had not been
to any of the parties or social
gatherings of the young people in
his community. But during
Christmas he attended a large '
'.pound" party-delightful gather
ings when properly conducted
and to his great surprise found
conditions vastly improved. In
stead of young men being maud
lin drunk and deporting them
selves . improperly as formerly,
they conducted themselves as
young gentlemen should.
