We publish a fall synopsis of President Cleveland's message in oar supplement this week. He shows that he is still the same old staunch friend of tariff reform and of soand financial legislation. , Ex-Goy. T?lman was elected yester? day to succeed Ger:.

Earle to Judge . of this (the Eighth) Judicial Circuit has baen received with satifaction all over the State. He is a man of fine ability, a close student and a learned lawyer, and will make an excellent Judge. , * i ?? - State Commissioner Traxler,, who has been at the head of the State Isar room since the Dispensary law became opera? tive, has tendered his resignation. The cause of his resignation is not known. Is is said he has boon sick of the business for some time. From the Postmaster General's report it is learned that the five-cent postage rate has been ex .ended to all foreign countries, whether members of the Pos? tal Union or not, except Canada, Mexico and Shanghai, the rates to which remain less than five cents. ? 1 Daring 1893 there was given as bequests to religious or charitable institutions by the* wealthy of this country the Lrge sum of ? ?29,000,000. This includes no gift of less than ?5,000. The rloh men of the lmd are learning to give a better account of their stewardship. The Vermont Legislature has defeated a bill granting municipal suffrage to women; bat only by a majority of two votes. This is a very narrow margin, and there is but little doubt that in a few years woman suffrage will be an accom? plished fact io Vermont. The first message of Georgia's new Governor is a plain, sensible state paper, which is acknowledged to be worthy of the high office he holds and the people he represents. He has nothing to say about "enemies''to himself and the State. He ^foelsJje-lsjGovernox of all the people. - The Atlanta Journal says Representa? tive Latimer,; of South Carolina, has demonstrated bis claims to statesmanship by introducing a bill to issue two billion dollars in "irredeemable" paper money. Evidently, Mr. Latimer believes that all that is necessary to make money is for the government to "stamp" it. To be sore the Ban shines as bright j is ever?when it is, not cloudy. The Sooth, is in fair condition, despite the ory of hard times, which has been become chronic. The people in South Carolina are in a better condition financially then they realize. All we need is a change in some of oar laws and some reforms. The address issued by the Conservative Reformers to the voters of the State is a step in the right direction, and will be welcomed by all Carolinians who have the good of our old State at heart. We want to see peace and harmony among oar people, and we will in oar hamble, feeble way do onr part to bring it about. . The deficiency in postal revenues dar? ing the last fiscal year was $9,243,935, and the loss to the postoffice department on the 200,000,000 pounds of second class mail carried was $16,973,000. That's why Postmaster General Bissel! recommends that the privilege of second class rates be withdrawn from all bat legitimate news papers and periodicals. The forty-fifth star will not be added to the national flag before next Indepen? dence day. The fourth of July is the only day on which the starry additions can be made to the flag. The probability is that there will be at least three stars added by the fourth of July. The ad? mission of Utah will doubtless be follow? ed by the admission of Mexico and Okla? homa. The dispensary law has been the cause of another murder in the State. Last Saturday night Latimer, a constable, was shot at Gaffney City by Stonewall Moore, a white farmer, and died in aboat three hours. The Constable had induced Moore to bay him some whiskey, and when be delivered it the Constable at? tempted to arrest him. Moore made his escape. The Cotton Plant 3ays the increased production of tobacco in some parts of South Carolina, and the profits thereon, suggest the importance of moro of our cotton planters trying tobacco?not the oho wing--but producing of it as a money crop. Da the sections of the State where both ootton and tobacco were tried lost season, the tobacco crop proved the more profitable. The Legislature will make a miistake if It reduces the fees of County offices. In oar opinion the present fees are not too high. The officers do a great deal of work, they have considerable responsi? bility resting upon them and have to give big bonds for the faithful discharge of their duties. There is scarcely a decent living now in the office of Sheriff in An? derson County. The report ot Hon. Hoke Smith, Secre? tory of the Interior, is interesting. 10, 277,124 acres of - land have been disposed of daring the last year. This leaves GOG, 040,313 acres belonging to the United States in this country, and 300,000,000 acres in Alaska. The cost of pensions last year was ?139,804,461. For the next year the cost will be ?140,000,000. The list census cost ?10,365,676. The patent oUco was more than self-sustaining. The appearance of Mrs. Yang Yu at a formal dinner given by her "husband, the Chinese minister, in Washington recently, was a most important event in her life. From the Chinese point of view, this made her a very advanced wo? man. It was the third step in her pro? gress toward liberty?the first having been taken when she appeared at a lega? tion reception, and the second when she attended a State dinner at tbe White House. The Winnsboro News and Herald says: "The purpose of Mr. Ashley's bill to pro? hibit the sale or purchase of wheat or corn in Anderson County is all very good, but, of course, such matters cannot be corrected by legislation. This bill, however, tends to show tbe tendency of the times. It is the logical offspring of snch legislation as the Dispensary Sys? tem and many of the strange pieces of legislation proposed in these very strange times. It would be a good thing, no doubt, for Anderson County, but you cannot curtail tho liberty of the citizen that way." The Southern Educational Association will meet in Galveston, Texas, on Dec. 26,27 and 28, the first session being held on the evening of the 26th. The rail? roads of Texas have agreed to offer a one fare rate to all roads outside of the State. The meeting will probably be one of the largest and most representative gather? ings of teachers ever held on the Gulf of Mexico, and will inolade teachers, not only from the South, but from all parts of the United States. Mexico will be invited to send representatives to the meeting. The program will inclnde some of the foremost educational think? ers of the country. OUR COLUMBIA. LETTER. Tbe Work or the Legislature Darios the Past Week. Columbia, S. C, Dec. 10th, 1894. The past week can be considered as the close of an epoch in the history of South Carolina. Tbe administration of Gover? nor B. R. Tillman came to an end after two terms, four years, probably the most remarkable that have ever been seen in the State. He left office, as he took it, the best loved by some, and the worst hated by others, man in the State, Whatever else can be said, it will have to be admitted that Ben. Tillman has made an impres? sion on the body politic in South Caro? lina that will be nigh indellible. It can also be said of his work that, like others of similar nature, it was a revolution, and revolutions never go backward. More good than evil can be expected to come out of what he has done. He probably is as strong in the State as he was four years ago, and as he moves about the capital, as a private citizen, preparing to move to his home in Edge field County, it can be readily seen that he is regarded by all as a man of com? manding ability. . In personal appearance he is more pos? sessing than he was four years, ago, and the cares of office have dealt gently with him. There are a few gray hairs in his I head, bat he looks to be a man in the prime of all of his powers, both physical and mental. When he leaves Columbia he will ha sorely missed by the, newspaper men, for to them he has been an unfailing source of- news. When news was to be j gotten from no other source, Governor ; Tillman could be depended upon to fur j nish something that every one In the j State, and frequently many outside of the State, would read. He leaves warm j friends with the reporters generally, whom he always treated kindly and with frankness. From observation, it cannot [ be said that he will be missed in Colum? bia social life, for the Governor has been too'much a man of affairs to care much j for social life daring his residence here, and he and the Colombia people have as a rale "hoed their own rows" without interfering with one another much. > The epoch written of, closed on Tues? day, when Governor John Gary Evans assumed the reins of government His j I inaugural speech was well received in 1 j Colombia, and the public generally were I mach gratified at its moderation, and freedom from bitterness. The opinion Is j freely expressed that if he is dealt with ! filrly that he will make a Governor for the whole people, and that there will be no repetition of the disturbance so fre- I quen t since 1890. Since his induction into office, Gover? nor Evans has been busy learning the ropes, so to speak, and becoming ac? quainted with all of the da ties assumed, that he has had little time for the general public to observe him. He takes to his work well, and one would take him to be an old band at it, for matters are moving as smoothly in the Governor's office as if there had been no change. Governor Evans has a very competent secretary in the person of Mr. U. X. Ganter, of Alken, who does mach towards the proper con? duct of the work. It goes without saying that Governor Evans is flooded with applications for positions of all kinds. One man has gone so far as to ask to be appointed postmas? ter of the town in which he lives. The Governor will take his time in making his appointments. Next to the inauguration of Governor Evans, the matter of most Interest was the election of the two Judges, of the third and eighth circuits, and the elec? tion of the Attorney General to succeed Mr. Buchanan. It had been understood that Attorney General Buchanan would be Judge Frazer's successor, in the Third Circuit, for some time, and, in fact, it was not known positively until the day of the election whether he wonld have any opposition. The vote was Buchanan 125, Frazer 29. Judge Buchanan is from Winnsboro, and consequently will have to change his residence to some point within his Circuit. He has not yet de? cided whether he will go to Samter or Manning. He received an official invi? tation from Mayor W. W. Hersey, and the city council of Florence, to make his home in their town, bat for private rea? sons he is inclined towards the first named places. The race for the judgeship of the Eighth Circuit was a little more spirited. The result of the first ballot was, Joseph H. Earle 78, John E. Breazeale 53, Norton 27. The second ballot, Earle 100, Brea? zeale 49 and Norton 8. Gen. Eearle was declared elected. This election was con? sidered to be a harbinger of good feeling and an indication that the mass of the people of the State were ready to come under one banner again. Gen. Earle, who had opposed Gov. Tillman in 1890, had beaten Mr. Breazeale, who had been a "Reformer" from the beginning. As in all other elections. Governor Tillman, in this, was "hands off," and so was Governor Evans, as far as the public know, but some of Mr. Breazeale's friends claim that Gen. Earle owes his election,to Senator L-by's influence. The election of Mr. W. A. Barber to be Attorney General to succeed Judgo Buch? anan, completes tbe trio of the youngest m 3n that have ever hold offices in South Carolina. Governor Evans is thirty-one years old, Adjutant General Watis twenty-live and Attorney General Barber twenty-five to-day. Solicitor G. Duncan Bellenger, of Barnwell, opposed General Barber for tbe place, but was defeated by a vote of 99 to 58. The election of a Superintendent of the Ponitentiary was another matter of im? portance, but over which there was no contest. Indeed, a man would have had to have great assurance to oppose Super? intendent Neal for that position after the showing he made last year. Tbe Rich land delegation paid him a handsome compliment through its spokeman in seconding his nomination. Besides the election of Judge Earle, another matter that is significant as indi? cative of the movement of the times was the address which was issued by forty members of the General Assembly on Thursday. This address, pithily put, asked that the past be forgotten and that all lovers of the State unite in the future and work for the best interests of the State. It was well received in Columbia, among many who have been "antis," and tbe general opinion is that it will do mnch good. The inauguration and the number of elections have interfered with the legis? lative work of the General Assembly, and it can hardly be said that the most important matters that will be voted upon at this session have seen the light of any yet. I One matter of far reaching importance, over which there was a great fight, and which was killed in the House by a vote of 55 to 54, was the reduction of tbe legal rate of interest to 7 per cent. The rate will remain the same as it has been for the past few years. Another bill wbioh I will result in a great saving to the State, if it is passed by the Senate, is the reduc I Uon of the per diem allowed sheriffs for dieting State prisoners from 30 cents to 25 cents. Charleston and Berkeley Coun? ties were exempted from the effects of this bill. Charleston gets the old rate, and Berkeley has a special act, whereby I the County Commissioners feed tbe I prisoners, and the cost has been found I not to exceed twelve and one-half cents a day. Tbe House seems intent npon catting I down salaries this year. The bill provid I ing for a reduction of the Liquor Com? missioner's salary from $3,000 to $2,000 I has been passed, and one catting down I the salaries of all State officers has been I reported favorably. I A bill providing for a division of the I profits of the dispensary, one-fourth to I the town or city in which the dispensary I is located, and three-fourths to the public I schools, has been made a special order in I the House for Tuesday, Dec. lltb. The I bill compelling railroads in this State to j furnish separate coaches for white and j oolored passengers will also come up on I Tuesday. The bill requiring all persons I or corporations building a wire fence I along a public or private highway, where I the same runs near or parallel with a railroad track to pat a plank at the top I of the fence has been made tbe special I order for Wednesday. ! The bill prohibiting the hiring out of I convicts to corporations or lio private I persons has had an unfavorable report I from the committee, bat has not yet come I up for a vote in the House. A bill intro I duced "by request" providing for the I licensing of the sale of intoxicating I liquors in the State has also received an I unfavorable report, and will probably be I killed as soon as it comes up in the I House. The Australian ballot bill Has not yet I come up for discussion in tbe House, I and among others of importance are: to the pooling of rates of insurance by fire I insurance companies; to provide for the I election of the State Liquor Commissioner J by the General Assembly instead of allowing the Governor to appoint him; I to authorize grain distillers to organize a I joint stock company for the wholesale of tbe products of a member of the com? pany; to make Hon. B. K. Tillman a trustee of the Winthrop Normal and In? dustrial College for women, I Among the bills of general Importance that have passed the House are to require cotton buyers to number each bale of co tton bought with the same number put upon bills and books, and to make it a misdemeanor to use profane or obscene language or be in any publio place in an intoxicated condition. No metropolitan police bill has yet made its appearance anywhere, and there is little talk of one, but there Is a general feeling that one will be passed by this session of the Legislature, or at least that I there will bean effort to pass one. It will probably be the most bitterly fought bill that will be proposed this year. The sessions of both the Senate and House have been marked with such good feeling so far that it is possible that such a bill would not pass. Mr. Thurmond, of Edgefield, has Intro? duced into the House a bill extending I the time for the payment of taxes to March 10th. The probabilities are that I this bill will be passed, or one of similar nature. j A bill that will bring out something of a fight, especially from the Charleston delegation, is one to abolish the Citadel Academy, and to convert tbe said prop? erty Into money to be placed in the hands of the Sinking Fund. * This bill was in? troduced by Mr. L. J. Williams, of Edgefield. Tbe bill is not expected to I pass, but it may have the result of cut? ting down the appropriation to that insti? tution. It is understood that the Board I of Visitors of the Citadel will recommend the appropriation of only $150 to each beneficiary, but will ask that the number of beneficiaries be doubled. The time for the election of United States Senator has been fixed for to-mor? row. At this writing it is not known whether Senator Butler will be nomina? ted or not. So far as can be learned he I has engaged no one to nominate him. What would be designated as tbe "anti" I members of tbe General Assembly do I not seem to be enthusiastic on the sub? ject. It goes without saying that ex Governor Tillman will be elected by an overwhelming majority. I All new County bills have been post? poned until the next session. This was I done because of the calling of the Consti? tutional Convention, which will proba I bly lessen the required territory of a County. The friends of the proposed County of Greenwood have been in the city in full force, and were determined to make a strong fight for their pet measure if it had been allowed to come up. The friends of Honea Path County seem to be numerous, and the Counties from which that is to be formed do not fight so bitterly as Greenwood County is fought. ! The Senate has not been so active as the House during the past week. It has been taking things quietly, conscious that when it does get to work it can ac? complish very much more in the same space of time than tbe House. The bill providing for the calling of the Constitutional Convention has been in? troduced in tbe Senate by Senator Efird, of Lexington. This bill, with a few amendments, will probably go through. It provides for the election of delegates to the Convention on the third Tuesday in July, and for the meeting of the Con? vention in August It also provides for the participation of all voters in tbe elec? tion of delegates, who are not prohibited by the Constitution. It allows all who are eligible to register, and who have failed to do so, to register. This pro? vides against any possible adverse de? cision by the Supreme Court on the present registration law. It appropriates 830,000 with which to pay the expenses of the Convention, if so much be neces? sary, and provides for the payment of $2 a day and five cents mileage, going and returning, to the delegates to the Convention. A number of bills of local Importance have been passed by the Senate, and it has now matters in such shape that it can work with dispatch. It is not expected that thus session will be a very long one, and a bill has been drawn providing for the adjourn? ment to take place on December 22nd. 1 WtWrJflft ' ilapry Times iu Alabama.

Editors Intelligencer : It has been some timeaioce I wrote yon about matters in tbis pert of our moral vineyard, and thinking tbat at least some of my old South Carolina fdenote would like to bear from me and "Beat 5" I venture a few items. We are about done gathering our crops. The yield of both corn and cotton is good, but the small price obtained for cotton is not satisfactory. Corn ia selling at 50 cts. per bushel, cash. Tbat is better than common at tbis time of the year. A great many farmers have bogs enough to make tbeir meat for next year. There is more wheat being sowed tbis fall than usual, and things indicate tbat farmers are going to make tbeir own meat and bread at home and be independent of the Western farm* era, or any other farmers. The health of our country is good. We have plenty to eat, and enjoy our condition very well. We gave the Bads, Reps, Pops and Niga a genuine thrashing on the 6th of Novem? ber, and are feeling good about it. We have the banner Democratic Beat in all the country. Wishing my old Sontb Carolina friends and the Intelligencer a merry Christmas and a bappy new year, I am as ever, yours <fec. R. C. Haynie. Conservative Reformers Issoe an Ad? dress. Columbia State, Dec. 7. Asa result of a largely attended cau? cus held last night the following was made public: To the Democratic Voters of South Carolina: In the progress of the Reform movement, we have reached a critical period in the history of the State. All of the essential demands of tbat movement may properly be regarded as accom? plished facts, and having been accepted by the people, should no longer be a cause of irritation and dissension. The Constitutional Convention alone remains to be enacted upon by the peo? ple, and it is unfortunate that tbey are in such a state of mind as to prevent many of them from seeing the situation from an impartial and non-partisan standpoint. As it is useless to discuss the cause or causes which have led to this state of affairs we will look only to the future and leave the dead past to bury its dead. Every intelligent mind, which is capa? ble of realizing the good that can be ac? complished, and the great harm that may be dono to our State and people by a sovereign body like a Constitutional Convention; every one who Rees and feels the necessity and importance of securing the unity of our people and white supremacy by a well regulated suffrage, without disfranchising a white voter; every patriotic citizen who is aware of the ills and evils, afflicting and threatening the body politic, whether of a social, political, financial or industrial character, will readily admit that some? thing ought to be done to correct the evils briefly alluded to and to secure the good so easily within our reach. Therefore we, the undersigned Refor? mers, having only these ends in view, and desiring nothing but the unity and harmony of our people, the highest and best interests of our State, the progress and development of her social, industrial, educational and political interests, do hereby call upon all of our Democratic citizens who sympathize with these views, and are willing to abide the re? sults of the Reform movement, to ear? nestly consider the importance of a non partisan convention, composed of the wisest and best men of both factions, and to take such action as is deemed best to secure it.

When the cook was dressing it to be cooked she found some foreign substance in the gizzard ; the knife kept striking against it, and upon close inspec? tion it proved to be a gold scarf pin. There were places for three sets of stone on the end of it, but the sets were gone. The pin had entered the gizzard its entire length, about two inches, and the flesh had grown around it It was in a state of perfect preservation; was not even tarnished by contact with the flesh ; it must be pure gold. The turkey fattened and thrived, so the pin surely caused no interruption of nature. This turkey was bought by express messenger for Mr, Skinner, so it is likely the pin belonged to some one near White Oak. Since this pin has turned up, the watch lost at the balloon ascension last year may be found in a turkey gizzard.? Winnsboro News. ? A woman who^rove a wagon into town on Friday disposed of her produce and then produced two chickens, which sha offered for sale. On being questioned she stated that she was willing to sell the fowls but did not care particularly. She had brought them to town as foot warm? ers and was willing to carry them back. Her scheme was to pnt the two chickens under the seat of her wagon and to thrust her feet under their wings, their natural heat serving as well as hot bricks or a stove to keep her temperature at a com? fortable figure. Thi ? is believed to be a strictly original idea. It is as ingenious as It is effective and is a good illustration of how well country people are able to meet emergencies and take care of them? selves in all kinds of situations.? Green? ville News. ? An odd kind of settlement of an election deadlock has been made by the two candidates for Sheriff of Wolfe coun? ty, Kentucky. Both candidates received the same number of votes, and the most careful recount and inspection of the bal? lots failed to alter the result. The candi? dates wonldn't agree to another contest, and as they were close friends, neither would accept the office at the hands of the other. It was finally agreed that tbey should divide equally the receipts of the office, aud draw Iocs to decide which should be sheriff. The Republican won the draw, and the Democrat will be chief deputy sheriff, but with an equal share in the spoils of office. ? A terrible crime has just come to light at Bangor, Me.. where a wife fifteen years old has attempted to poison her twenty year-old husband and His parents, j so as to get their property. Fortunately the attempt was not successful, though sho tried it several times, making the family very siok. After the last attempt her husband taxed her with it and she broke down and confessed. She said that her mother told her to, and that as she loved her mother better than her husband she consented. Her mother gave her a brown powder, which she was to put into their food. The mother and daughter have been arrested and lodged in jail. ? As showing the value of the Jewish regulations with regard to the animals slaughtered for their food the chief rabbi of New Zealand states that amongst the 208 cancer cases treated in the Wellington Hospital during the last eight years there has not been a single Jewish patient. Out of the 6,767 deaths registered in New Zealand during 1893 there were 1,061 caused by cancer and tuberculous dis? eases?two ailments which are very pre? valent among cattle. Deserving Praise.

GA8SAWAY, Adm'r. Deo 12,1894_24_8_ HOW'S TRADE ? OUR trade ia good, thank you. In fact, we never sold more goods in our lives. A common question, but an uncommon answer, you Bay. So be it, and there's a reason for it, too. Would you you know the cause ? Then, 'tis figures. The figures we make. They are attractive figures. The figures that competition cannot make. To tell the truth, these same figures are rapidly pushing competi? tion to the wall. They can't fight r figure that they don't how to make. Hence you often see idle clerks around other doors while the Ten Cents Store is crowded. Customers ever go off unwaited on ? Well, yes. There are time3 when we can't wait on all. At such times we have to do the best we can, and ssk our customers to kindly have patience 'till we can get to them. Do they wait on you ? Ye3, I should say they do. It is too costly to go out. An old customer says it is poor policy to pay five cents extra, and save only one cent's worth of time. Five cents on a twenty cent article means twenty-five per cent. A big profit of itself. See! How about late-comers ? Do they have as good chance as early buyers ? Well, no. Not always. It frequent? ly happens that the slow get left "Procrastination" often gets the better of the best of us. Especially is this true about holiday goods. However, we always do the very best we can to the very last. Why don't you get a larger house and have more help, and just push everything out of the way as you go ? In that case we should be at such expense that we would have to in? crease our prices to cover it. In other words, charge the difference to our customers. This we don't wish to do. We caution you, beware of houses with too much expense attached. Would be glad to talk longer, but must wait on this lady. Yours always truly, C. 8. MINOR, and 10c. STORE. LAND FOR SALE.
