New towns and villages are so many new nerve cen tres to infuse life into the communi ties about them, and it is hard to de velop new towns and villages in old counties with all the influence of 'he old county seats against them. The new county seat organizes all the forces about it for new effort in new directions. The roads about it are improved. Schools and churches and stores and ware houses and shops multiply. New wants are created and supplied. New railroad lines and connections are projected and and accomplished.

The The vote pi last Tuesday was an eudorsation of the financial views of MEETINGS OF SOCIETJjiS—rGroveTCleveland by the people of the United States. There is no evidence that Mr. Mc Kinley will change the policy follow ed by the Cleveland administration. If is almost certain that the new ad ministration wiil continue in the same general line. There will possibly he changes in the hanking laws, a revision of the tariff and an effort to pass an income tax hill. With the senate almost evenly di vided there can he no radical or vi cious legislation. Major McKinley is not radical in his views and will not he driven by his party to approve radical legisla tion. The la!e campaign is a sufficient warning tcricongress that the people are conservative and will demand from public servants something more than buncombe speeches and wild schemes. If the republicans are wise and un derstand the situation, they will seek to bring about such changes as will give relief to all classes and occupa tions. If, as has been charged, they work in the interests of trusts, com bines and corporations, they will be hurled from place aud power. «- * *• The election is over, the verdict ol the people rendered'and it will he un wise to sulk and waste time abusing victors. There will he no force bill, no attempt at unfair legislation to punish the Soulh for the part taken in the campaign. As stated in The G’.eenville News, the republican par ty is on record to give prosperity to the whole country, so far as this can b? done by legislative action. fhey should he held strictly to the peifcrimmce of their promises, and having control of the government (hey will he responsible.—Greenville News. —o—s Old Warrier Endorses King’s Royal Germetuer. “I have suffered for months past from insomnia amt indigestion, and failing in relief, was indued by a friend to try Dr. King’s Royal Ger- matuer.

Many people, when a little consti pated, make the mistake of using sa line or other drastic purgatives. All that is needed is a mild dose of Ayer’s Pills to restore the regular movement of the bowels, and nature will do the rest. They keep the system in per fect order, The Game Law. The game season is at last open and the sportsmen ean now get even with the partridges and other fowl that have been treading on their toes and tantalizing them for some months. The season opens later this year than it did last and the game is of course much larger and of better quality. The legislature wisely threw the opening {of the season back consider ably and the fieldlings have all be come real toothsome “Bob Whites.” synopsis of the game law of Jus Stale will be valuable for sportsmen to paste in their rooms for reference: SALE OF GAME.

Apr opos of no particular new coun ty scheme and without prejudice to the opposition to any such scheme, it may he said that objection to the organizat ion of a new county on the ground that it involves “higher taxes” to ihe people of the territory to he included in it is not a conclusive one, as some seem disposed to think. The whole weight of this objection, of course, rests on the difference be tween the average tax paid in the existing condition and that to be paid under the changed condition—a dif ference ranging, as was shown recent- b by (lie reported experience of cer tain new counties, of from a quarter of a mile to 2 1-4 mills at the highest. The average “increase,” taking a long period of years, would probably 1101 exceed 1 1 2 mills, if it amounted to so niuch. The practical question then would seem to he simply wheth er the people of a given territory would be warranted in adding so much (o their annual tax ra,te for the priviliges and advantages to be ob tained by having a county*of their own, and this is a question for them selves lo decide. They are not bound to consider the effect of their action in raising the tax rate of the old coun ties they leave, and tiie Constitution has properly discharged them from obligation. The puestion relates wholly to their own interest, aud they are supposed and expected to decide it accordingly. Whether a new county organization is worth what it will cost in an in creased tax rate is the main issue, and it is usually worth much more. The added one or two mills are paid once a year. Some of the benefits of the changed condition will be exper- ieuced by many of the taxpayers living in remote places in the large old counties would save more than the difference in their taxes in the reduced cost ot going to and from their county seat in the smaller new new county. Much also is gained for the people included in a new county by the fact ami results ot its newness. They “set, up housekeeping” for themselves, and are put on their mettle to justify their enterprise. They naturally take a pride iu it, and are willing to work for its success. They do uot want to be twitted by their neighbors across the line witli liaving worsted them selves by their change. Wholesome comnelition and rivalry iu many matters is generated between the new county and its older neighbors, and all profit as the result. It is probable The Hou.ThomasC. Platt discusse “The effect of Republican Victory” in the November number of the North American Review, and confidently asserts that the election of McKinley and Hobert will constitute a verdict so emphatic that during the lifetime of all those who are on earth to-day, no man or party will he found hold enough to go betore the people advo cating doctrines which mean repudia- ion. “Turn the rascals out”—the familiar party cry—may be applied to micro bes as well as to the men. The germs of disease that lurk in the blood are “turned out” by Ayer’s Sarsaparilla as effectively as the old postmasters are dismissed by a new ahmiuistra- tion. Madame Calve and Madame Melba t will both appear in the next issue of The Ladies’ Home Journal with ar ticles on the voice. Madame Melba has written before and is, in fact, no uovis with the pen, but this is Mad ame Calve’s first attempt at aullier- ship. She wrote the article in French, and after an English translation had been made of it she had the original manuscript bound between two mo rocco covers as a souvenir of her debut as a-writter. The Review of Reviews for Novem ber publishes several important aud interesting articles ou the latest phases of the Eastern Question, espec ially from the British point of view. Mr. W.T. Stead’s survey of the sub ject, eutitled “The Eastern Ogre; or, St. George to the Rescue,” is extreme ly characteristic and suggestive; the Review also offers a remarkable sj-m- possium of current thought ou “What should be done with Turkey?” as the pressing problem of the hour. The Delineator is the Woman’s Favorite Magazine, and is issued by tbe famous fashion publishers, The Butterick Publishing Co., (limited), at 7 lo 17 West Thirteenth Street, New York, at the remarkable low | rate of $1.00 for a year’s subscription, or 15 cents per copy. Of all Family Magazines it is the Great Caterer to Domestic Needs, and can be recom mended for its cheapness, usefulness, beauty, freshness and utility. Special to Recorder. Sally, S.C., Nov. 11.—On Tuesday Mr W D Evans, railroad commission er, Col Mike Brown together with a number of officials of the Carolina Midland railroad went up on the road to inspect the 10 miles of new road completed from Seivern towards Batesburg. The tvork was found very satisfactorily done, and the section accepted and opened for traffic. It is stated that the rest of the distance, only G miles to Batesburg, will be completed in a short time, and then the road pushed on to Greenwood at once. Master Henry Price, son of Mr and Mrs John Price, died a short time ago after a long illness. He was an ex cellent lad. and his parents have the sympathy of the community. Mr Jeffries, of Virginia^ the new teacher at Sally now gives much sat isfaction, and has a large school. The business at Salfy lias been very good this fall. All of the *ierchants have done well and made wory satis factory collections. George Foss, a colored ^rmer and blacksmith, about two mfiles from Sally is doing well. He has made a good crop, and getting ahead well in the world. The recent advance in the price of cotton has cheered the hearts of the farmers, around here and many of them have a good quantity still held back. In fact some have not yet sold a bale. Trilmte of Kespect. Not often do I undertake#^ write for the press and would not*now but to express some sentiments as to a re cent bereavement a family and our community has sustained. On Tues day morning, Oct. 27th, 1896, Miss Gussie Able, the youngest daughter of an old and respected citizen, Mr. Car- son Able, passed away. She was sick only a short while and none were pre pared to receive the very sad intelli gence of her demise. But whether or not we expect death it is ever among us and none of us know how^eoon we may be called upon to face the grim monster. When this comes however there are sweet consolation^ to t4ie loved ones left behind that may be enjoyed. In the above case the par ents and friends are blessed with every assurance that Gussie was saved and that her spirit now hovers around the throne of its Giver robed in gar ments of everlasting bliss and per fect happiness. On her dying bed she manifested unmistakable signs, and before the life tide had ebbed she called her brother to her and said : “I am going to die Glover and I don’t want you all to be worried ov<*r it.- I had rather die young and go to heaven than to live a life of w’oxjdly pleasure and then die and go to endless tor ment. Oh! how I wish I could see every young friend of mine and warn them of the dangers of this life! I should die willingly if only J might be a warning to them.” What a sac rifice she w’as willing to m^c. Her own life was not dearer than the lives of her friends, the friends of her childhood for whom she jyearned as she passed away. It is as i»T were a voice from Heaven calling uk and a hand beckning to us from over there. Her remains were interred Ht Con vent Church, on last AVednesdhy. She was a consistant member of that church for about 6 years. The funeral services w’ere conducted by Rev. H. L. Baggott and it was an excellent one and appropriate for the occasion. A Friend.
