The indications are that this year will break the record for killings in this State. One or more happen every week in the various counties. The people all over the State show commendable interest in the success of the annual reunion of the Confederate Veterans to be held in Charleston next mouth._ The medal fund for Lieut. Victor Blue is close up to $200. No doubt now remains that the brave soldier will re ceive from the women of Carolina a worthy testimonial. Now that the members of the Cuban assembly have discovered that they must quit their foolishness or be frozen out of a divvy in that $3,000,000, they are going to shut up shop. . The war -wouldn't last another min ute if the Filipinos would allow them selves to be overtaken. Uncle Sam's boys can scarcely get in yelling dis tance before the poor wretches take to their heels. Gen. Wade Hampton recently cele brated his 81st birthday. The chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy in Columbia celebrated the occasion . with floral offerings and an eloquent tribute to the grand old hero, who, we hope,, will be spared to celebrate many more anniversaries.. According to .in exchange the Fifty fifth Congress, recently ended, had cer tain good points about it, as little as one might think such to be the case. The records show that there were con siderably more than 18,000 bills intro . duce cl during the two sessions. Out of this number 1,450 alone became laws. The legislative body which passes only one out of thirteen bills submitted to it cannot be wholly bad. Augusta, Ga., will erect a monument to heir late mayor, Hon. Patrick Walsh. The idea is to erect a bronze statue on some one of Augusta's many beautiful squares. Not only will Augusta do her part, but thc entire South will be in vited to assist in commemorating the name of the man who, standing with Henry W. Grady, was foremost in the fight for the recognition of the South's possibilities and the furtherance of South ern development. With the last issue ' of our able and ever interesting contemporary, the Ab beville Press and JBamer, Editor Wil son celebrated the fortieth anniversary of his connection with that paper. Here's our congratulations, Brother Wilson, and may you live to celebrate your centennial anniversary. You have acted your part well in the great drama of life, and now if you would forsake the ranks of the dispensaryites and bachelordom your declining years would be years of joy and happiness. One of the things that cause men tc lose respect for the courts of so-called justice in this country, is simply this: If a poor man is charged with a crime he is almost invariably convicted and speedily punished to the full extent ol the law. But ah ! what a difference ii the accused is rich or Lao rich relatives or friends who come to their aid. In such cases convictions aro very rare, and if convicted, the judge, the attor neys and most of the jury at once sign a petition for a pardon. Our laws are all right, but they are not properly and honestly-enforced. Another big cotton mill in Anderson is now an assured fact if our people will only do their duty. Mr. J. J. Fretwell, who is taking the lead in this matter, is continually adding subscrip tions to the capital stock, but there is room for many more subscriptions, and our people should rally to the aid ot the enterprise. In short, our people cannot afford tb miss this opportunity of securing another mill. If we had sufficient spindles to consume every bale of cotton brought to this market every man in Anderson County, of every vocation, would bc benctited. There are few landowners in ten miles of the city who cannot take at least one or more shares in this new jin*]], and we sincerely hope they, will do so. The rising tide of textile prosperity has set in, and Anderson must keep in line. Let us all pull together at once in this enterprise, and in a short time ihe work of erecting the necessary buildings will be under way. Iii sn ottier column a live, progressive citizen publishes a timely article on this line, and we suggest that you read and study it_ We have always contended that the trust is the legitimate offspring of pro tective tariffs, and Ave have further suggested that the only effeeti ve inetho? I of dealing with such combinations is in absolute free trade. Laws for the?! control or suppression are almost sure to prove ineffective. Hut with free trade, the trust is almost an impossi bility. Now comes the St. Paul Pioneer PrcT, a Republican paper, and says it is the duty of the Republican party to repeal every protective duty nuder tint shelter of which its beneficiaries ha ve organized a trust or combination ol' any sort. The Chicago Tinu's-JIerald, an other Republican paper, gives its en dorsement to this suggestion. "Most certainly," says the Times- Iff raid, "it should be the duty of Congress, in both branches of which the Uepulilicuns have a majority, to abolish or suspend the protective duty on thc products of any industry which has been organized into a trust and "which has arbitrarily raised the prices of such products. No mercy or consideration should he shown to any combination of capital that takes advantage of a protective tariff to mulct American consumers, lt should be the first office of the Repub lican majority in Congress to free its skirts from all responsibility for trusts which under shelter of the tariff exact high prices from the people." But will the Republicans apply the remedy? Such a course would show thc folly of protectionism, and being advocates of that policy, they are not likely to per mit the exposure. We believe the Democratic party should put additional emphasis on the free trade doctrine. Belton Items. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Geer will be pained to hear of the death of their little girl, Gertrude, which occurred this (Monday) morning as the result of a fearful burn she re ceived late Saturday afternoon. In some mysterious way her clothing caught fire while standing near her lit tle brothel', who was kindling a fire in an open fireplace. Her body was dreadfully burned, but the physicians say she suffered very little. The grief stricken family have the sympathy of this entire community in this dark hour.

Several of our young people went to Clemson last Wednesd?iy nud witnessed the base ball contest between Cornell and the C. A. C. Base Ball Club.

Mike McGee, that good soldier of tue "Lost Cause,-" visited the sick andpieaeheda line sermon at Welcome last Sunday. I xi-on, -. m Death of Grover Hemhree. Un last Saturday morning about 4 o'clock the immortal spirit of Grover Hombree passed from this world to eternity there to await the reception of the friends left behind. On the Sun day night preceding his death he was taken with an attack of pneumonia, which gradually grew worse until the end came, which relieved him of his suiferings. His ?ame was not really Heihbree, but he was known by that name, as he was an adopted child of Mr. Wm. Ilembree. who lives near White Plains Church. G rover was just budding into young manhood, as lie was in Iiis fifteenth year. His remains were laid ro rest in thc l?cavci'dam Cemetery on the Sunday following his death at 1 o'clock p. m., after very im pressive and appropriate limerai servi ees, con bu ted by Rev. 1>. I. Spearman, his text being taken from the fourth verse of the thirty-ninth Psalm: "Lord make me to know mine end. and the measure of my days, what ?t is: that I may know how frail I am." Grover will be missed very much among his associates and especially muong his playmates at school, among whom he was a favorite. The fa thor a n d mot!1 er Clor indeed they were to him) haye our heartfelt sympathy in the bereavement of this their adopted and only son. Lite is short and not one of us know, Which to eternity first shall go. IL A. GivXTitv. Oak Grove Items.
