Captain Dreyfus, of France, should heg his American sympathizers to cease finding analogie* between his case and that of Captain Carter, of President McKinley's watchful eure. The Democrats of Ohio have nomi nated Kditor McLean, of the Cincin lati Enquirer as their candidate for (tovernor. He is ;i brainy man and one of the most popular citizens of the State. ma m* Kansas should l?e prosperous. Ar cording to one of the papers ill there 'hat Stale has t wo head of eat tic tine !iog, one-third of a horse, and foni -lit hs of n sheep for every man. woman, and child wi'hin its borders. mm mm The New Orleans J'ii uyiun i-><? liriu ly convinced that there will presently be an upward movement and a stiffen ing of the cotton market that it is advising its farmer readers "not to be cajoled or induced to part with their cotton at a low price through fear of a heavy crop." Despite parental objection, the beau tiful and bewitching Donald? Town ship and Anderson County were united in the bonds of matrimony be fore the State Hoard of Canvassers in Columbia last Friday. Gen. M. !.. t?onhani, of this city, acted well the role of best man. mm mm The nat ional Democracy is in good shape just now for winning a great vic tory in WOO. Much to the dismay of the ItcpuhlicuiiH an unusual amount of harmony prevails in the Democratic ranks throughout the nation. The east is gradually coming bach into line, the west and south are where they were in 1800, only stronger and better equipped for the fray. The industrial spirit in South Caro lina is more pronounced just now than at any other period in the State's his tory. There are comparatively few towns in the State that haven't an in dustry of sonic kind, and the town that has none is working with might and main to get one, while those that have one or two arc seeking others. Let the good work go on. - - mm Why should not harnessed lightning lend its useful nid to agricultural en deavor as well as to the transportation, light and news facilities of the times? its possibilities in this, direction are not overlooked entirely. The Phila delphia lieront tells about an enter prising farmer near Johusville, N. y? who has on electric plant on his place. The motive power is furnished by two falls in a creek which courses through his land. With this in visible agent at work on the farm, the saving of labor will be enormous. Rural homes may he lighted brilliantly at small expense Possibly the domestic economy of the household may be revolutionized. W. A. Xeal,ex-Superintendeutof the 'state Penitentiary, who has been justly given the name of the "Mark Hanna" of the Reform party in South Carolina, has been arrested under three indict ments and would have gone to jail had it not been for the kindness of two of Columbia's staunch citizens, Mr. W. B. Lowrancu and Capt. Geo. A. Shields, who signed his bond, i>:i,000. These is'cutleiueu belong to that "old rotten, aristocratic ring who ruled South Car olina" prior to 1890. Col. Neal has l>ocn courted by uear'y every He form oftlce-soeker for years past, and yet when he needed their aid and assist ance not one of them came to his res cue. Ingratitude is a very mild term to apply to such action. Many people will be surprised to learn that the postal establishment of the United States is the greatest busi ness concern in the world. Charles Kmory Smith, the postmaster-general, writing in the Cosmopolitan, tells us t hat it handles more pieces, employs mori' men, spends more money, brings more revenues, uses more agencies, reaches more homes, involves mon? de tails and touches more interests than any other human organization, public or private, governmental or corporate. The postollicc department directs 7:!, "iiOpostotlices, musters an army of 200, 000 employees, spends this year$105, 000,000 and counts receipts to nearly the same amount. 11 handled last year U,204,44T,<KM> pieces of mail matter, of which 2,825,707.0(10 were letters, so that every minute confides 12,000 new mes sages to its handy. It manufactured and delivered postage stamps to the j number of :t,0l;t,82l.ti08( and the value of $71,788,1188. It carried 2,000.712.000 newspapers. Rev. William M. Grier, D. D? Presi dent of Erskine College, died at his home in Due West last Sunday after noon at a o'clock. ? lis death was sud den ;uid unexpected. He preached at Bethlehem in the forenoon, reached home at 2 p. m? complained of being very sick, fell back in his chair, and never regained consciousness. Apo plcxy was the cause. The deceased graduated at Erskine College in 1800. He enlisted in the Sixth South Carolina regiment and lost a leg at the. battle of Williamsbnrg. He studied theology and was pastor of a church in Wilcox county, Alabama, and afterwards was elected president of Erskine College, . at the ago of 20, and held that position at the time of his death. He was one of the most distinguished educators of the. sont h, and noted for hiseloquonco as a preacher. For many years he was editor of The Associate Reformed Presbyterian, Mini held tli.it position until liisileath. Dr. drier was ."Hi years ol age, and by his death South Carolina loses one of lier noblest men. A widow and seven children are left to cherish his memory. Maj. Franz Melchers, editor of the Ifentttchc Zeitung, Charleston, S. <"., died nt his home in that city last Sun day night, aged T.\ years. The deceased was a native of Germany, and came to Charleston in 184*1, when* he has made his home ever since, being engaged in journalism neatly sill that time. He served his adopted .Stute faithfully through the civil war usait officer of the German Artillery, and represented Charleston two terms iu f lu. State Leg* islature, The deceased w;?.s a charter member of the South Carolina State Press Association and tor the past lit' teen years served a* its Treasurer, which he resigned only a few weeks ago at the annual meeting at Hai t is Springs on account of his ill health. The writer has been intimately ae i|itainted with him lor a number of years, und we eau sincerely say that we never have known a better or mote congenial.^Christian gentleman. We deeply sympathize with the two sons and three daughters who are left to eheri.sit his memory. There is not a man so depraved and hardened who can see, unmoved, bar - barities and cruelties perpetrated on our faithful domestic animals by t hotightlcss keepers, drivers and others having them in charge. When a crip- I pled, halting, suffering mule is goaded on by acme! driver everyone is ready to say "that fellow ought to betaken up and whipped and his mule taken away from him," yet no one is willing in the interest of humanity to take the ! initiative and have the miscreant ar rested and prosecuted under the laws. The city of Anderson is big enough and suffers enough from such thigrant violations of the law to justify the organi'/ation of a society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, whose duty it will be to report such cases and prose cute them. Within the past week we have seen such cruelty to animals as would not be tolerated a moment iu many smaller towns, and it, i? now high time that Anderson should say to these brutal owners and drivers that they both must suffer the eonscqnonces of any cruelty to which their stock is subjected, certainly within the city limits. Lei the good people formulate some plan of organization and proceed at once to business. There is no u. to delay this matter for some one else to take the first step. It is too important a mutter to delay, and we hope to pub lish in our next issue, a call from some one who is willing to do a duty too often shifted upon some one else's shoulders. < Mi the first of September Supervisor Snelgrove's term of office expired by resignation. During his term many miles of dirt roads have been con structed, the finest Court House, and Jail in the State have been built, and the County's poor made comfortable. M ai or Vandiver, the incoming Super visor, is also a man of well poised parts, independent of all restraints, unhampered by any ring or clique, and a man w ho w ill administer the finances of the County ;is judiciously and as impartially us rests in his power. It, must be remembered that he has not. been schooled, as yet, in the intricacies of the ofllce, and inasmuch us there has been much discussion regarding the state of the t 'utility's finances, we would recoin mend for his own and the people's satisfaction that he prepare at the ear liest date possible for presentation to the < S rand Jury tit its next term of Court a clear, concise, detailed state ment of the condition of the County, showing its enumerated assets and liabilities, and how the latter arc se cured. We have, no hesitancy in say ing that Supervisor Snelgrove's books are quite accurately and neatly kept, and will show very clearly what tho people at large are anxious to know. If it is not proper that this exhibit should appear at the time mentioned, it is certainly incumbent upon the office to make the showiugasked for in its annual report, as these reports scl i dorn give out a satisfactory idea of the basis of taxation. Another suggestion: Let the Supervisor peruse the recom- j mendations of the Grand Jury for the past three or four years that he may acquaint himself of tho unfulfilled de- j mauds and suggestions of that, body. We know that there are certain recom mendations that have not l>cen carried out owing to the finances of the Coun ty. The people want to know when these will be carried out without plunging the County into debt. <>no of these recommendations we recall is the one relating to the building of per manent roads similar to tho Mecklen burg, N. ('.. roads. It is a fact demon strated over ami over again the post w inter that the same expenditure of energy on macadam roads requisite, to drng a heavy two-horse wagon through the endless and almost bot tomless mire of. dirt roads will pro duce more than double, the amount of taxes required to build and maintain a macadam road. These suggestions are not made with any view to underrate the. ability of the new incumbent to ascertain tho will of the people but to assist him in that duty, as wo know that lie recognizes the fact that to be an acceptable servant of the people one must do the people's will. Henn ton of Co. E. A Reunion of Co. E, 20th S. C. Vols., will be held at Neals Creek Church on Friday, Sept. 22nd, 1899. The follow ing named gentlemen are invited to make addresses on that day: Gen. M. L, Ron ham. Hon. A. C. La timer and Rev. O. J. Copeland. Everybody is in vited, especially the ladies, and don't forget your well-filled baskets. I J. J. Coi'EI.AXl>, it. H. A. HoiUNSOtt, President Secretary. The shortest honeyuioon and the juickest application i'or divorce on re ord arc reported in the Wiuficld (Kan.) Courier. On Monday <d' last week a resident of Pawnee, >. T., was married to a young woittau of Winiield. It was noticed that the bridegroom was somewhat under the influence of liquor during the ceremony, and when he retired to the room of the bride he sat down in a hair and ut once went to sleep. When he awakened two hours later his bride was ?tili with him, but she had been transformed from an affectionate girl into an angry and disgusted woman. She turned a deaf car to all his apologies and entreaties, and walked out of the room and straight to a lawyer's office, where she com menced action for divorce. A .story comes from Georgetown County of the eating alive of a young negro child by a wild hog, which ven tured o'lt of a swamp and sei/.cd upon its prey. The mother of the child came upon the scene just in time to save a few fragments of the child's body, upon which the animal was still munching. The swamps in that sec tion were at one time tilled with wild hoars ami animals of that class. ? The business connections of a family in Kirwin. Mas., arc rather sug gestive. One son is a doctor, another is an undertaker, a third makes tomb stones, and the wife of the latter is a druggist. - - A man never knows what he can do until he tries, and then he is often sorry that he found out. A Tribute. Died, in this city, Aug. Si, l*!il>, Her tha, tifth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence O. Horton, aged 11 years 11 months and (? days. She had been ill four weeks with malarial fever. A J jw days before her death she told one of her sisters she was gowig over yonder, and asked her to meet her in heaven. She was very industrious juulever ready to do her duty. Mn Thursday morning her remains were carried down o.i the train to Cook's Station for burial, Row KliasSpearman conducting the funeral services at theM. K. Church. After the services her body was laid to rest in the cemetery. The newly-made grave was decorated from head to foot with beautiful wreaths and crosses, made by the hands of loving friends and schoolmates. The family has the sympathy of all their friends. * A i'ltlKNJi. Card of Thauks. Mis.
