Intelligencer. Published every Wednesday:' J. F. CLIXKSCALES, I EDITORS AND C C. LANGSTON, y PROPRIETORS. TEEMS-' ONE YEAS, - $1 50 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, NOV. 1, 1S99. . Bryan and McLean arc the latest suggestions for thc Democratic presi dential ticket next year. --?-?? ?? A great political hattie will be fought in Kentucky and Ohio next Tuesday, and the Democrats are very hopeful of success in both States. Let no man be deceived hy thc ad vance in cotton. The short crop is tho only reason for the upward tendency of prices. A "big crop next year -will put it down again. Plant wheat and oats and raise pigs. Loving cups are a very pretty testi monial of esteem but they are destined by our slujshing New York friends to become very common. The latest proposition is to present one to S;r Thomas'Lipton, the owner of the de feated yacht, the "Shamrock." "When ?ew York does slobber, things get very soft. mm * tn > Farnsworth, the Chicago bigamist,' who confesses to the ownership of two dozen better halves or mere, bases his defense on the recognition given the Sultan of Sulu with his well-filled harem by the President. Farns worth would do well not to quote from that antiquated document, the constitution, in support of his claims, but rest his case on the Ocala platform., which promises equal rights to all and special privileges to none. He thinks the President has lost sight of the con stitution and the St. Louis platform in the grand shuffle, and hopes to fake him with the Ocala declaration. The Keowee Courier of Walhalla speaks out in no uncertain sound in reference to the penitentiary scandal, every word of which we endorse. The Courier says: The case against Bill Neal, ex-super intendent of the State penitentiary, has been continued until the April term of court for Kicbland county. It will be remembered he squandered about $11, 000 of the State's funds. The chain gang is the right place, for him. It is supposed bo intends the next session of the Legislature to fix a hole for him to get out of. If any member of the South Carolina Legislature votes to free Neal he ougbf. to be beheaded. He is no better in principle than the "poor devil" who steals a bushel of corn and is sentenced to the chaingi*ng. The influence of present social con ditions in the United States upon the birth rate is beginning to attract at tention, for the reason that the size of the average American family is stead ily decreasing. This is especially true in New England, where the average , family has been reduced from 5.16 in 1850 to 4.57 at the present time, but the same thing is true in a reduced degree of, the whole nation. In 1850 the size of the average American family was 5.55 and it has now been reduced to 4.93. We are still maintaining a health y birth rate, but conditions that tend to restrict the raising of families and to reduce the number of births cannot be said to be desirable. A strong effort is being made to in duce the House of Representatives to refuse to seat Congressman-elect B. H. Roberts, the polygamist from Utah. It is to be hoped that the effort will succeed. Roberts has three wives and lives in open defiance of the law of the United States and the constitution of of his own State. He is disqualified thereby from voting and from holding office. Should he be seated it would be an encouragement to the Mormons to proceed in their disregard of law. Since Utah was made a State the Mor mons have disregarded their promises not to teach polygamy, and the leaders of both church and State justify the practice of polygamy. The United States have been debarred from inter fering, by the rights conceded to Utah when it was admitted to Statehood. But these concessions do not carry with them the right to Utah to seat au officer of the United States government who is legally disqualified, especially when if he is seated the moral plague.of polygamy wrill be encouraged and the laws of the United States disregarded. - - tim mt nm The ominous silence among the great European powers in reference to the Transvaal trouble bodes no good to England. It is the righteous indigna tion a good man feels when compelled to stand by and see a weak, helpless cripple fallen upon by a big, burly, ruffianly robber, and left on the way side a bleeding, bruised wreck. What analogy the Atlanta Journal linds in the present trouble in favor of Great Britain to our own fight for indepen dence, we are utterly unable to discern. We were fighting for independence; England is fighting now, as she was then, for subjugation. We fought against taxation without representa tion; and the Boers are fighting for the perpetuity of their republic, which is an acceptable government to ali ifs subjects, and against the possibility of English control of their elections, which '.viii simmer down to taxation without representation. In the name of justice, let the nations stay England's red handed game of conquest. English speaking peoples must part company when justice is outraged and dishon ored. --r?-.- *> mm In the present dispensary muddle we occupy the enviable position of a man up a tree in that it is none of our fight. Any suggestions emanatiug from us would be deemed from a source persona non grata. We have all along foreseen the fruitful possibilities of rottenness and corruption in this great "moral institution,"' and have opposed the sys tem from its inception as an incom pleto and palpably unsatisfactory method of controlling the liquor traffic. The present mild eruption is not at all alarming to us, nor docs it excite in the least the hope that before our scrutiny will unfold like a flower the secret mysteries of rebates hidden and guard ed like a precious stone in the breasts of high State officials who have been on the sealed inside while the present revelators have fortunately or unfor tunately been on the shady Ouzts side. The criminations and recriminations of to-day pale into petty insignificance beside the convulsive ebullition that must come, and which the Board of Control fondly hope will be relegated by what they choose to term the dis pensary's chastening and tribulation. Whatever developments come to light we can watch them complacently and score another peg in our reputation as a prophet. _ President McKinley has named Thursday, November 30th, as a day of thanksgiving to God for our many blessings, benefits, and deliverances, and it is but meet and proper that a nation should acknowledge its debt of gratitude for guidance and protection. It is getting more universal, the custom of arranging family reunions on this day, and it is a pretty custom, and one that should, as far as practicable, be come general. We want to urge that in Anderson County the day be observed as a sacred holiday, that all business be suspended, that religious services be held in every Church,,and that the day be not profaned by drunken carousals, such as too often characterize the cele bration of this holiday. Let it be known throughout the county that there will be no business transacted here nor in the towns of the county, that all business houses will close their doors and devote one day to offering up thanks for the year's prosperity. The farmer at home has much cause for gratitude. While his crop is short, he is getting a price for his cotton in proportion, when he might only have gotten last year's price for his curtailed yield. Let every class send up thanks, andmore than all let us not forget the poor and needy in our free will offer ings. Let us open our hearts and glad den the lives of those less fortunate ones, that they, too, may join in the spirit of the season. Let "all man kind's concern be charity/' Bride Robbed by the Groom. ROCHESTER, X. Y., Oct. 10.-Mrs. Mary J. Col thar, 45 years old, of Bun ker Hill, 111., whose husband died two years ago, leaving her a farra and 82,000, is penniless in this city, having been robbed of $4,075 by a New York confidence man. According to her story, which has been verified by the Rochester police, Mrs. Colthar about a month ago, by a letter of introduction through an agen cy, began a correspondence with James Monroe. A few weeks later, by ap pointment, they met in Indianapolis and the same afternoon were married. The following day they started, to gether with Mrs. Colthar's 11-year-old daughter, for New York to witness the Dewey day celebration. Before going, however, Mrs. Colthar placed a $2,000 mortgage on the farm and drew $2,100 from the bank. The trio arrived in Rochester a few days ago, and Mouroe proposed to engage in the drug busi ness and prevailed upon his wife to loan him $4.075, and started for New Y'ork, ostensibly to purchase stock for the store. Monroe lias not been seen since. Wednesday Mrs. Colthar re ceived a letter from him in New Y'ork, saying he had been robbed, and advis ing her to return to Bunker Hill. Mrs. Colthar, realizing that she had been deceived, immediately laid the case before Chief Cleary, who has taken steps to catch the man. Mrs. Colthar has found employment as a nurse here.

Lipton has determined to invest $500,0001 II tea culture in South Cand?na. Sir Thuraus is familiar with the soil and climate conditions of this State, having been atone time a labor er on a rice plantation in Georgetown county. He is now the largest land owner in Ceylon, and is one of the wealthiest tea merchants in the world. - Tin; Lord made Adam hist so Eve would have somebody to talk to as soon as she got there. - Speeches are made ni ter dinner be cause when men have eaten they are too torpid to resent old jokes. - PITM veranee very often succeeds where luck lia- made a failure. ???DRY SENSE IS sound, common sense.
