Thcr?' aro people living who remember when men of sensitiv?- honor roiild with dilliculty heep themselves, or he k?'pt, from lighting, whenever they were insulted. Yet the duel lina been practically abandoned by the. Knglish race, and is little more than a form among other peoples. In Knglnnd and the United States not even soldiers and sailors light duels; elsewhere serious duelling is confined to the military class. It is now said that it was former Mrs. Hazen, now Mrs. Dewey, who made tho Admiral promise to have nothing to do with politics, und thus settled tho fate of the presidential boom in bis name. Being familiar with Washington oili cial life, she told him she knew what sort of criticisms would be passed upon even "the best man in tho world" if he were to become a candidate for the presidency, and he replied that he was quite sure that tho "dearest woman in the world" knew precisely what she wiiB talking about; and that settled it. The suggestion that the government may establish an armor plate mill nt 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 tim ellbrt to secure its lo cation in the Southern States. Tho government has, comparatively speak ing, no building or construction inter ests south of Mnson and Dixon's line, but now that there, are signs of a re united country, and ns capital is rapid ly finding its way into the Southland, tin* chances are good for us to secure some of Uncle Ssun's capital by bestir ing ourselves and being on the alert. Thc most striking feature of South ern industrial development to-day, as reported by the Manufacturers1 ftecorrt, are the continued activity in tho en largement of the established cotton mills and the building of new ones. It is especially noticeable that through out the cotton mill districts of tho South tho new mills are being built very largely by local capital, and are to be managed by local people. The pre-eminent success of the textile in terests of the South has encouraged the increasing investment of local money in new mills, and nt the present time nothing else seems to appeal so strongly to the local people as cotton mill investments. There is ono 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 cnn be used, the value thus created would, ii is estimated, be in the neighborhood ot $000,000,000 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 tho number of its plants from lillie I'i tine .1^ I Ile 41 ? > ll J ; 11111 fol' lt - JU o ilucjs ?tn !" .! .-.

Thc lal h i is quito ripe for discussion now. and might well be given a trial since it hus proven snell a desirable re form where it has been in operation. A more disgust ing and nauseating sight can hardly bo imagined than the side walks on some busy days, and now since Dann- Fashion decrees shorter walking skirts for her devotees, the ladies, the eily authorities must devise some other scheme for sweeping away this nauseating mess from the side walks, or else passan ord i nance agni nat the filthy and careless habit. The nt he i question will have to wait cer tainly until the Slate 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 ehrystali/.ed (hal the question of tho 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 Stale should pull to gether to .secure its own franchises upon tilt' 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 vember 12th, lHSK), when the beautiful day was just meriting into night, there passed luto eternal rest the soul of our dear father, Benjamin Curtie Hard, iu th? eighty fourth year of bia age. He had been confined to bis room und bed for nearly a vear, and during that long heaaoo of Butlering, whiob, at time*, was intense, ba never complained, but ex hibited all through bia sickness a degree of patience and resignation that WAS tru ly wonderfni, and when like one utterly exhausted and wearied by constant pain, the end came, he calmly and peacefully passed IP io the beaven of rest, to be for ever with his Lord. The writer baa been intimately associa ted with him for more than fifteen years, and during that time he haa bad the op portunity of studying closely the charac ter of thia good, unpretentious father in Israel. Dr. Samuel Lander, who con ducted the funeral exercise?, apoke of bim aa a Christian Southern Gentleman, in the fullest aenae of the term. He waa f;enerons In gifts, tho' his means were i ml ted, as well aa in expression. No one over appealed to him, ao far aa I have known, in vain. It may be custo mary to eulogtzo the dead, but in plac ing thia little ti ibute nf affection on the life of an honored Christian friend it ia not inteuded as any formal expression or sentiment, but as an evidence of the es teem and regard heid for bim by the writer pud many other*, who have suf fered H loss In bis death. He bad a large family connection, and all through thia chain none of the linke were so Imper fectly moulded aa to retleet auy discredit on the name, but, on the contrary, hy their integrity and uprightness of Um and conduct, and the example ot their honored parent, have striven to add new lustre tn ir. Mr. Hard wan born In Charleston, S. C., in August, 18ir>, and in early manhood waa engaged in bualness there for many yea**, and from that city he went to Graniteville, S. C., where he served for years as Secretary of the Oraniteville Manufacturing Co., and upon leaving tbere returned to his native city, and some yea? afterwards moved bis family to Wilt tamaton, S. C., and purchasing a farm near that town, settled tbere, where he resided until he was called home Ile waa a consistent member nf the M. E. Church, South; he loved his Church, and tried to do his duty. Brookside, (the name of the place) haa sustained an irreparable oas. Every spot around the old homestead la dearly asso ciated with him, and all about one can see evidences of his boay life. The writer always enjoyed being with him, and in studying bis character, he strengthened bia own. I could lay more, bnt worda cannot expreaa tba val ue of auch a life, which must make itt Influence deeply felton other Uvea ano "He being dead yet apeaketh." After a long earthly pilgrimage, reat time came, and, like a tired child, he fell asleep, and loving banda placed him by the aide of bia dear companion in the cemetery at Williamaton. Reat, Christian wa.-: tor, Thy work's ?well done. And now with tba faithful Thy reward haa begun. No pa.n nor sorrow, No trials to abare, But safe with your Saviour In the home "over ibero.V E.
