All the arrangements relative to en;i tertaaning the clergymen, delegates and visitors have been completed, and it goes without saying that all ?? whn attend will be treated royally by - - - . the people of our capitol city. K' ' ' The ginners report last Thursday again gives the most unmistakable proof that we do not have a tbumper cotton crop. If the south produces over 12^150,000 bales this year, we will : he badly fooled. Even a crop of 13,000,000 hales is intrinsically worth more than the farmer' is now -getting fear his cotton. The farmer who now grits his teeth, squares himself <m his feet and tightens his grip on the cotton be s$ill has, will live to I call himself a wise man. Hold your cotton! / : -v It is said that Dantzler, the Orangeburg negro, is preparing to again contest the seat of congressman Lever. The only thing in these contests is tne . lees allowed by congress, and that is what Dantzler and his negro lawyer |f;;r are alter. In fact, we have little J , doubt but that the lawyer, Mporer, is the prime mover in this contest jj! business. A stout buggy trace prop|p } erly administered would be the best B| means of stopping this sort of "graft" and we commend it to the white . people of Orangeburg. ? Bamberg * Herald. . , Despite the protests and threats of the negroes of Chicago against Tillman's speaking in that city, and notwithstanding the cowardly action of 1 Chicago's poltroon Mayor, the pitch j||. fork man from South Carolina did speak and he flayed the cowardly f whites and negroes of that city withi<mt fear or mercy. The Northern negro knows nothing of the conditions of the South, and hates the whites lip with malignant hatred. When they try to suppress Senator Tillman, they \ forget the man they are dealing with. 3 Fanactical whites in the North, and ] malignant, fool negroes in the same g ^ ' * - l n _ J j section, mzuce me so-cauea raw pruu- j lem. We of the South know the sit- j nation, and we only c*n solve the ( problem. g There is one thing^hat occurred in j Columbia last week during the unveil- t ing of the Hampton Monument that < 1 * deserves more than passing notice. t U *From the bountiful feast that was , prepared for the old soldiers by the ; good and noble Daughters of the Conp federacy there was left about one hundred loaves of bread, and . with that |' thoughtfulness that has always been characteristic of the man?that noble gentleman and Confederate veteran Col. U. 'R. Brooks?they were gathered up and given to the Epworth Orphans. On what other occasion in Ocrtnml&a has this been done? . We trust that this act on the part of Col.

With the death of Paul McDonald Brice, editor of the Columbia Evening ?eco?d since 1902, South Carolina lflkea one of it* noblemen. rSr the past four years he has worked bard for the best interests of Columbia and South Carolina. Perhaps there *was no man in Soutn Carolina J that possesses the many peculiar fitnesses for the duties of editor as did p Mr. Brice. His articles were master- , % rs? pieces of engiish, coupled with sound S| logic and always to the points He suffered perhaps as no other man evIer did but he murmured not. He must have realized?and no doubt did?that be was walking side by side H with the Grim Reaper, knowing that Pit would not be long until the final summons. But with that courage which had characterized his life, he faltered not; and after he had been stricken upon his dying couch, and while walking through the dark valley of the shadow of death as it were, he would write two or three lines at the time, iiis last editorial appearing in the Record of Nov. 15th. Paul Brice has gone from among us; he has entered into that rest from Which no traveler ever returns, but sweet will be his memory to those j ? who knew and loved him best. He j rests from his labors in the cemetery If at Winsboro, but his good works will | ? Jive forever.
