Scveriij humired bills were introduced, most of which were nf a local nature, and without special interest to the people at largo. Happily factionalism cut lit tlc ligure during the session. - - e rn* Last week forest lires swept through many of thc counties of tho middle and lewer sections of the State and great damage resulted. On many plantatians not a house was left stand ing and tho farmers lost everything they possessed. Many families moved all their effects into the fields to es cape thc burning houses, and hail everything burned there. On Sunday tile Columbia papers contained an ap peal for aid lor th'" sufferers in llieh Inud (Nninty.

That statistics can he made to provo anything has been afton said, .lust what thc honest statistics do prove, however, as to lin- relations be tween ' litiic ami ignorance on u-u one hand, and tween virtue and educa tion on tin- other, is much disputed. A New York pa nor has opened its columns i" the dis.euss.iuu ?if this question, with tin- result that some of its correspondents assert that crime and educatioh arc increasing together, while others insist that the moro highly educated pooplr become thc fewer crimes aro committed. And both partie* to tho argsmeiit make a plentiful uso of statistics. m . m Farmers should think seriously be fore pitching and apportioning their crops, that if another ll,0U0,<R)u bale crop of cstton is made this year they will have to sell their crop for :? cents or less. If every farmer in tho cotton belt should reduce his acreage in cot toa this year 25 per cent, there would still bo an abundant crop of cotton made, but at remunerative prices, and they would have largely increased supplies of tho iicoesiiaries of life for homo consumption. If ono has what he needs at home he requires but lit tle money, unless ho wants to tackle thrce-card-monte or some other game j of chanco, in which all the chance is against him. If one raises what ho needs for home consumption he eau simply stay ut home and consumo it. / - IsHiic.

Whereas, some unscrupulous or unthoughtful person or persons have tried to rellect discredit upon my name, together with that of the Firm by whom 1 was employed from September 1st, 1897, to February 9ih, 1898, by reporting or insinuating that this Firm is underselling competition by giving Ekort measure and short weights, and that they have required their force of-assistants to impose upon confiding friends in this way. I take pleasure in voluntarily statiDg that the Firm of C. S. Minor & Co. are not made of that kind of .-tulk F?'om the beginning of ray tero, of employment with them to this moment I was never instructed or expected to ?lefroud any person out of one cent, inch or ounce. On thc other hand, my in structions were to always give even and exact measurement und weight, make change to the cent, and net square and fair with every customer, and so far tts I am iuformed the same instructions were given to every other mun in thc house. In fact, thc men in the em ploy of C. S. Minor ?& Co. are not the elas3 of men that would put up with any such instruction?, ami further still would they be from carrying out such plans of business. I wish emphatically to state that any person making state ments contrary to the facts above given, either kuowiugly or un knowingly, states what is false und cannot be verified. (Signed) J. I.
