The United States appears to have captured a large and elegant assort ment of medals at the Paris Exposi tion. They were, however, fairly won. Now that tlit.- fleet ions arc over in South Carolina, let every Democrat bury the hatchet, make friends and go to work to increase tin prosperity < ! our grand old State. .Making partisan oiiiecholders is. a good way to make imperialists; and Mr. McKinley has created .'/.'no JM-w unices for this purpose, al an annual cost ol over '?oo.Odd (n American taxpayers. The Democrats made big gains in the election in Vermont a few days ago. Mark llanna is growing uneasy and is endeavoring to raise (he largest cam paign fund ever before demanded by the Republicans. m ? ? The shirt waist discussion was start ed too late for the insertion of a shirt waist plank in the platform of either of the great parties. The shirt waist might have been a paramount issue iT it had started sooner. - mmt m We seldom get what we want in this world. A man was arraigned in Chi cago the other day on the charge of murder. He immediately naked to be hanged, and that as soon as possible. This made the court s lisp irions, and he will probably fail to gratify his desire. This is quite in line with the rest of the tittle ironies of life. The increasing number of scholar ships founded by rich men for the benefit of poor men's sons shows a ten dency to make all college education free. When scholarships enough have been endowed, other means will be provided to give every student the benefit of a foundation. State univer sities are, merely lending the way for the rest. mm m ? The canned fruits and vegetables put up in this country arc estimated at $47,000,000, valucing the stuff at an average of $2 a case. There arc 2,00(1 canneries which turn nut annually 0, 00(1,000 cases of tomatoes, .ViOO.OOOeorn. ,?,000,000 of peas and 10,000 of penches and other fruits and vegetables, a total of 2,ViOO,000 cases. But there arc very few canneries in the South.which is by Ion,1? odds the best section for them. As nominations are now in order lot Speaker of the next House of Repre sentatives in this State, wo would sug gest the name of Hon. C?eo. E. Prince, of this city. Mr. Prince is in every way qualified for the position, and would till it with honor to his State and great credit to himself. Anderson County is one tho largest Democratic Counties in the State, and it is not often that she asks a position of honor or profit for one of her citizens. One of tho most thrilling scenes in the history of American politics was recently witnessed at Cumberland, Md., when Senator Wellington, once the unchallenged Republican leader of Maryland, stood on the same platform with Mr. Rryan and solemnly renounc ed his party for its crimes against lib erty and the weak treachery of the McKinley administration. Three thou sand persons filled the hall and more than ten thousand stood outside, cheer ing other orators. The power and passion of Senator Wellington's denun ciation of President McKinley for his falsity and weakness were beyond words to express. The grent multi tude roared out its greetings to the senator who was great enough to aban don his party for tho sake of tho re public, the patriot who refused to eat his w ords and givo up his convictions, like Senator llonr. ? > mm The Southern Railway has been awarded two grand prizes and two sil ver medals for its exhibits of Southern products at the Paris exposition. The two grand prizes are the highest award made at tho Exposition. This great progressive railway system is surely doing a great work for the South, and especially for those States which it penetrates. Every issue of The South em Field, which is published monthly by the Company at Washington, 1>. C, contains much valuable and interesting information about our resources?pro ducts of the farm, manufacturing, mining, etc. It has an immense circu lation throughout the United States and is attracting both capital aod peo ple to the South. The business of this great system is increasing every year, as it justly deserves, and the business men of every section where it touches should give it all of its patronage. People from this section who have oc casion to travel North or West will do well to consider the advantages offered by the Southern Railway. This line is equipped in such a highly satisfactory manner as to make it fully equal to the demand for the limited travel in this part of the United S tat ?. nnA v?. sides its fast train, its good roadbed, and rates as low as any other line, its conductors and trainmen are found to be always most courteous and accom modating to the traveling public, The Southern's Southwestern Limited train, made up of Pullman sleepers, observa tion cars, etc., run between Washing ton and Atlanta, is a marvol uf speed, oleganco and comfort. mm "??> - -r During the fiscal year, ended June j :U>; Kentucky produced 21,789,722 gal / lrtns of whiskey, an incren?o over the preceding year of about 2,000,000 gal lons.

A Terrible Storm. NorvroN, Tex., September u. ? The West Indian storm which reached the gull coast yesterday morning, has wrought sad havoc in Texas. Reports are conflicting, but it is known that an appalling disaster has visited (he city oi liai veston, whore, it i-< reported, a thousand or more lives have been blot ted out and a tremendous property damage incurred. Meager reports from Sabine Pass and I'ort Arthur also in dicate a heavy hiss of life, but these reports cannot be cnnlirmcd at this hour. Dallas, Sept. 10.?The relief forces sent to Calvestou by the railroad have wired that 1 he loss of life in that city and along the coast will exceed five thousand and may reach ten thousand. The leportsof the railroad officials state thai the number of lives lost at ?al veston alone will exceed three'thous and. Now the awful prospect of fam ine confronts tho survivors on almost all sides at Houston and Calvestou. Including the cotton crop, from fifteen to twenty million dollars were lost, and with Gal veston and Houston it will be as much more. From Virginia points north and south along the bay front, and such places as Texas City. Dickin son, Hitchcock, Seabrook, Alvin and immediate points the number of dead bodies that wero gathered up by the rescue trains and sailing crafts, reached, at noon, more than seven hundred. Hundreds were swept out to sea. Six thousand houses were des troyed at Galvcston. Provisions arc scarce and hundreds of corpses are float ing in the streets. The situation is appalling. About a hundred and fifty sailing vessels of every description wero wrecked. The whole city was in darkness last night, aud water is sell ing at one dollar a pint. Boleman News.
