It seems from the work of the inves tigating committee now in session in Columbia that the "Mark Hanna of South Carolina politics" has fallen from grace. The design for the Winnie Davis monument at Richmond has been ac cepted and soon the memory of the be loved Daughter of the Confederacy will be fittingly honored in marble. Hartwell M. Ayer, Esq., has returned to his first love, journalism, and is again connected with the Florence Times as managing editor. We extend him the right hand of fellowship. One of the main issues .of 1000 will be a fight against; trusts. Neither the money question or colonial expansion can be of such importance as the throt ling of honest industry and the robbery ' of millions of toiling people. At the recent tenn of court in New ? berry Judge Gage caused consternation among witnesses by declining to sign pay certificates of any except State's witnesses, and then of only those who went on the stand and testified. Admiral Dewey announces that un der no circumstances will he allow his name to be used as a candidate for President next year, lie now has a job for life ata good salary. Herein speaks the cool sanity and eminent common sense of the man. Congressman Bailey has announced that he will no longer act as the leader of the Democracy- in the halls of Con gress. We have no doubt his place will be easily filled, and that too by a man possessed of a broader mind and greater statesmanship. A hard fight has just been waged in North Carolina over the dispensary law. It was proposed to put Charlotte and Mecklenburg county under the dis pensary and this resulted in a ha id fight in the Legislature. The bill did not pass, however, and the North Car olinians have reason to congratulate themselves upon their escape. All of the.old Confederate Veterans will be more than pleased to know that the effort to erect a monument to O eu. Beauregard, al New Orleans has been revived. Some time ago a similar ef fort was made and the sum of 84,000 was raised. This money was safely invested and can be used at any lime. It is hoped that the gallant general may have a monument worthy of Iiis fame and his services to the Confed eracy. If you lost money on last year's cot ton crop, is there any good reason why you should run the risk of losing again this year by planting the same or a larger acreage than last-year ? In cast ing the crop of 1890 let us provide first and foremost above all other things, land enough for food crops and forage. By limiting the cotton area and in creasing that of other crops the South can overcome the disaster of 1898. By pursuing any other policy we can in vite only a still more direful doom of poverty. it has been decided to devote one section of the great National Museum in WasMngtou to it great historical ex hibit illustrative of the Spanish Ameri can war. An immense collection of war relics has already been delivered at the Museum building, and a large force of workmen are now- engaged in arranging thc articles in suitable cases where for many years to come they will excite thc curiosity of millions of visitors from all parts of thc world. Probably a collection of war relics of this magnitude was never before placed upon exhibition in any country. Gen. Maximo Gome/., in Havana, has expressed the opinion that he is now fully convinced thai this Government will loyally keep its promise to thc effect that Cubit will soon he Dec and ind?pendant. This expression of con fidence, coming from a mun much be loved by Cubans, is likely to create general satisfaction ?ind remove cause for discontent. Thc three million dol lars which has been sent fruin flic Government treasury at Washington, to be divided among thc Cuban troops, will also have a convincing inllttciice, being proof positive that this Govern mcnt keeps its promises. By the time Congress meets ne vt December President McKinley may have Affairs in all the newly uce tircd islands in a condition that will permit the Republican party to adopt such a policy in regard io them us it may con sider advisable. What that policy will be not even the leaders ol'the Republi cans, probably, .ire prepared lo say ut this rime. Much will depend, ol'course, upon the measure (d' success which attends the efforts ol'the President to bring about a situation thai will per mitot legislation in accordance with Republican views. Xi? doubt tho is lands will be handled so us to make nil tin; capital possible Cor tile j.opubHcaii party in the presidential campaign next year. Willi ih<- departure"of .Senator i ?or num from ?he I'nited Slates Senate tho Democrats in thal body lose their recognized and respected leader, i: is generally understood that hi< pince will be taken liv Senator Jones, ol' Ar kansas, who has long ot cupied a prom inent position in the direction ol' Deni ocratic policy in the State. Mr. Jon is especially well qualified for leadc ship because of his knowledge national affairs, which has largely i creased while serving as chairman the Democratic National Committc Mr. Jones is also thoroughly conversa with every detail of financial and tar questions, while as a tactician in pa liamentary matters he has few equal He is a mau or magnetic temperamen approachable and courteous, so tin his personal characteristics add to h other qualifications.
