Bryan and Sehl ey are the latest sug gestions for the Democratic presiden tial ticket. mm m> -- It's right thoughtful of the soap mak ers to organize a combine just as the people are getting ready to give all trusts a good lathering. We commend the Haselden-Sellers method of "shooting off the mouth" to Major Dago Outzs as an improvement on che Haselden-Outz plan. It is now claimed that the Cubans are too illiterate to be capable of self government, but they seem to have a correct understanding of the meaning of tiie word independence. vice-President Hobart died at his home in New Jersey Tuesday morn ing. He is the fourth VLe-President to die while in office, and all four of them passed away during the month of November. The Kentucky election muddle is not improved, and will not be finally settled until Dec. 4, when the election commissioners meet to pass on the con tests. Both sides claim a victory for their respective candidates by small pluralities. In the recent election Ohio cast a majority of 50,000 votes against Pr?si dent McKinley's policy of imperialism. It was denounced by both McLean, the Democratic candidate for Governor, and "Golden Rule" Jones, the Indepen dent candidate, and they received-a total vote greater by 50,000 than was : cast for the President's candidate. Editors Clinkscales and Langston are making a magnificent journal of THE ANDERSON INTELLIGENCER. It's news columns would do credit to a city daily.-A ???rusia (Ga.) Chronicle. We can return the compliment paid us by saying that among our exchanges there is no paper that we read with more interest than the old, staunch, re liable Chronicle, whose editorial page alone is worth the subscription price. - mm rn, mm We of this generation hardly realize how recently private warfare, in the shape of the duel, has been suppressed. There are people living who remember when men of sensitive honor could with difficulty keep themselves, or be kept, from fighting, whenever they were insulted. Yet the duel has been practically abandoned by the English race, and is little more than a form among other peoples. Tn England and the United States not even soldiers and sailors fight duels; elsewhere serious duelling is confined to the military class. s It is now said that it was former Mrs. Hazen, now Mrs. Dewey, who made the Admiral promise to have nothing to do with politics, and thus settled the fate of the presidential boom in his name. Being familiar with Washington offi cial life, she told him she knew what sort of criticisms would be passed upon even "the best man in the world" if he were to become a candidate for the presidency, and he replied that he was quite sure that the "dearest woman in the world" knew precisely what she was talking about; and that settled it The suggestion that the government may establish an armor plate mill at the next session of Congress in order to become independent of the mam moth concerns which have practiced extortion upon it so long, is enough to start to activity every Southern Con gressman in the effort to secure its lo . cation in the Southern States. The government has, comparatively speak ing, no building or construction inter ests south of Mason and Dixon's line, bat now that there are signs of a re united country, and as capital is rapid ly finding its way into the Southland, the chances are good for us to secure some of Uncle Sam's capital by bestir ing ourselves and being on the alert. The most striking feature of South ern industrial development to-day, as reported by the Manufacturers1 Eecord, are the continued activity in the en largement of the established cotton mills and the building of new oucs. It is especially noticeable that through out the cotton mill districts of the South the new mills are being built very largely by local capital, and are to be managed by local people. The pre-eminent success ot' the textile in terests of the South has encouraged the increasing investment of local money in new mills, and at the present time nothing else seems to appeal so strongly to the local people as cotton mill investments. There is one trust under considera tion which will convince the people that there are trusts and trusts, and that in some trusts there is much that is good. It is estimated that there are produced in this country every year 250,000,000 tons of cornstalks, practi cally all of which go to waste, since the few thousand tons used by the present cellulose factories hardly made a hole in the prodigeous stalk pile. If all of these cornstalks were made up into the various products in which they can be used, the value thus created would, it is estimated, be in the neighborhood of $900,000,000 per year. It is said to be the purpose of the trust to make a market for this hitherto waste produce by building a half dozen or more fac tories in the great corn belt, and add ing to the number of its plants from time to time as thc* demand for its pro ducts increases. Wherever the factor ies aro situated, of course, the farmers of the nearby territory will he much benefited. The price which the stalks will fetch, it is said, will be $5 or SC a ton, and au average acre, it is claimed, will produce three tons. We are gratified to observe that the Southern patriotic organizations are making a systematic effort to give the ante-bellum Southern Statesman and the Southern soldier justice in the his tories taught in Southern schools. The South, through its Boards of Edu cation,, has manifested such an indiffer ent attitude on this important question that we are charged by the world with being recreant to our honored tradi tions and the glorious and illustrious achievements of her struggling heroes. The country school teaches, the graded school teacher and the college profes sor all should unite in a critical analy sis of every history taught in their schools and report their criticisms to the Superintendent of Education of their respective counties. There is mental wealth enough in this class of citizens to force a just, fair, and im partial history .of the South and her contentious. We recommend that Superintendent Nicholson request the teachers of the County to report to him along this line, and, iu so doing, set the pace for other progressive sec tions. Together with municipal ownership of its public franchises will come to Anderson the earnestly desired but much ridiculed anti-spit ordinance. The latter is quite ripe for discussion now, and might well bo given a trial since it has proven such a desirable re form where it has been in operation. A more disgusting and nauseating sight can hardly be imagined than the side walks on somo busy days, and now since Dame Fashion decrees shorter walking skirts for her devotees, the ladies, the city authorities must devise some other scheme for sweeping away this nauseating mess from the side walks, or else pass an ordinance against the filthy and careless habit. The other question will have to wait cer tainly until the State Constitution can be amended to permit cities to own public utilities. This question is be coming more heated, and, by the time the Legislature meets, sentiment will have so chrystalized that the question of the amendment will have to be re ferred to the people for settlement. There is a steady, growing demand for lower municipal taxes, and to this end every city in the State should pull to gether to secure its own franchises upon the expiration of the ones now in force, or in the absence of a Constitu tional authority no franchise should be granted for a longer period than four years. We are glad to note such a manifest interest in this question, not only in this State, but in others, and we read in it a sure sign of development and progress. In Memoriam. On the quiet Sabbath evening of No veraber 12tb, 1899, when the beautiful day was just merging into night, there passed into eternal rest the soul of our dear father, Benjamin Curtis Hard, in the eighty-fourth year of his age. He had been COD fined to bis room and bed for nearly a vear, and during that long season of suffering, which, at times, was intense, be never complained, but ex hibited all through his sickness a degree of patience and resignation that was tru ly wonderful, and when like one utterly exhausted and wearied by constant pain, the end came, he calmly and peacefully passed into the heaven of rest, io be for ever with bis Lord. The writer bas been Intimately associa ted with him for more than fifteen years, and during that time he has bsd the op portunity of studying closely the charac ter of this good, unpretentious father in Israel. Dr. Sam net Lander, who con ducted the funeral exercise?, spoke of him as a Christian Southern Gentleman, in the fallest sense of tho term. He was {?ener?os in gifts, tho' his means were im i ted, as well as in expression. No one ever appealed to him, so far as I have known, in vain. It may be custo mary to eulogize the dead, but in plac ing this little tribute of affection on the life of an honored Christian friend lt is not intended as any formal expression or sentiment, but as an evidence of the es teem and regard held for him by the writer and many others, who have suf fered a loss in bis death. He bad a large family connection, and all through thia chain none of the links were BO imper fectly moulded as to reflect any discredit on the name, but, on the contrary, by their integrity and uprightness of life and conduct, and the example ot their honored parent, have striven to add new lustre to it. i Mr. Hard waa born in Charleston, S. C., in August, 1815, and in early manhood was engaged in business there for many years, and from that city he went to Graniteville, S. C., where he served for years as Secretary ot the GraDiteville Manufacturing Co., and upon leavlog there returned to his native city, and some years afierwards moved bis family to Williamston, S. C., and purchasing a farm near that town, settled there, where he resided until he was called bomp. He was a consistent member of the M. E. Church, South; he loved bis Church, and tried to do bis duty. Brookside, (the name of the place) has sustained an irreparable oss. Every spot around the old homestead is dearly asso ciated with him, and all about one can see evidences of bis busy life. The writer always enjoyed being with him, and in studying his character, he strengthened his own. I could Buy more, but words cannot express the val ue of such a life, which must make its influence deeply felt on other lives and "He being dead yet speak et h." After a long earthly pilgrimage, rest time came, and, like a tired obild, he fell asleep, and loving hands placed bim by the side of his dear companion in the cemetery at Williamston. Rest, Christian warrior, Thy work's well done, And now with the faithful Thy reward has begun. No pa.n nor sorrow, No trials to share, But safe with your Saviour In the home "over lhere.'' E.
