K. Bullock, Clerk of thc Court ol Abbeville County, has tendered his resignation to the Governor. Mr. Bullock certainly deserves a gold medal, for it is a little remarkable that an office holder in South Carolina, and especially a Clerk of Court, resigns. The anthracite eoal trust expects to reap $5,000,000 in clem profits from the advance in prices. In the meantime 2,000,000'nicii, women and children are to bo starved into submission by Hie trust. Hero is an object lesson for the American people which of itself should determine the present political conflict. The charge against W. A. Neal has again been continued in the Supreme Court. Eor one reason or another, this man who is self convicted lins eseaped the penalty for his deeds. It is just as we predicted it would bc. There is not much danger that any man who was so prominent in politics w ill ever bc pun ished. - - ^ ? - - Some of Spain's officials and leading business men assert that the loss of its colonial possessions has contributed to the prosperity and strength of that nation. Comme?ce in general has been making rapid progress, and that be tween Spain and the United States during the past year has been greater than nt any time since 188-1. Tho United States Supremo Court has ngain upheld the constitutionality of thc South Carolina registration law, in thc case of Daniel Cray Wiley, plain tiffin error, vs. Siukler and others. Thc Court held that Wiley's right to vote for members of Congress was un doubted, but that the plaintiff, having failed to resister, that defect, was fatal. Ajk'oiMou \m bevu muivrvd. lu tho New York Supreme Court, tho effect of which is that suicide is no bar to tito collection by thc beneficiary of a lifo insurance policy, even though the policy prohibits it within a certain period. Many of thc largo companies aud insurance orders, it is stated, are now leaving thc suicide clause out of their contracts altogether, but there aro stilllsome that will be affected, should this decision hold generally. Wm. J. Brynn is certainly a most remarkable man. Never has any citi "(.li*of the United States made so many speeches in two months ns he has. His voice never seems to fail and lie is ready early and late to speak, when ever a crowd may desire to hear him. In his multitudinous talks he never says foolish tilings, flo steers clear of the silver question and talks about trusts and imperialism. Mark Twain, after nine years' resi dence and travel abroad, has come home with the fixed conviction that England is the best fi ieud wc have in Europe, and that America is the only friend the British have in the world. Furthermore, he believes the Chinese tangle which is now a comedy w ill be come a tragedy, and that when the crash comes it will be best for both countries and best for tho world that the Union Jack and tho Stars and Stripes wave together in China. lt has been suggested that thc next Legislature create a Boord to whom may bo referred all applications for pardoning convicts, and wc think thc suggestion a good one. A number of States have such a Board, and the plan works well. Such a Board in this State would relievo our Governor of a ?Teat deal of work and a big responsibility. Tho Board of Directors of tho State Penitentiary could no doubt perform tho duties at their regular stated meet ings without any extra cost to the tax pay crs._ Rural free delivery seems to hnvo passed tho experimental stage, and to have become an established part of tho postal syatem of the country. Tho report of First Assistant Postmaster General Heth shows that there aro now about 400 distributing points, from which letters are delivered in 40 States nud one Territory. Tho ap propriation for tho current year is 8450.000; but for tho next fiscal year Congress appropriated $1,500,000, which will permit a considerable exu,mion of the system. At present almost haifa million people aro served by the rural carriers, nud in some instances so*many fou/th-class postoflices have been superseded that ires silvery fess proved cheaper than tho old plan. Wo te&po our Representatives will look to tho interest of this section iu the in creased appropriation. Deatli of a Good Citizen. Tlie WillianiKton correspondent of j the Greenville Metes, under date of the 19th inst., says: Our town is called to-day to lament tho death of one of oar most widely loved and prominent citizens. At 2 o'clock this morning Mr.diaries Elijah Horton wa? gathered unto his fathers. His health had been poor for tho past few years, but he was able to meet his engagements, and yesterday ho was not thought to be sick at all. Heart failure was flu- cause nf death. Mr. iloi ton was a leading member ot' tlir Haili ?st Church, being often hon ored as n representative to the associa tions and conventions o? that church all over tlie country. Honored abroad, In-was no less loved at home. Thor oughly a ('In ist ian and beautifully con sistent m Ins dealings with hin fellow ' men, he was known as the friend ni' i lie poo; mu? spent his life following in ' llie footsteps ol' Him who "wt ni aboui doing good." His pastor. I.ev. W. TV I Tate, said of him this inoininu': "ile was the inosl liberal man I ever knew/" Air. Holton was W years old last February. Ile was a Mason, a Knight ot' Honor and n director in the Wil liamston Ki nsale College, which insti tution he helped tu found and whose continued prosperity was his special pride. He leaves a widow and live children who mourn his death. The children are Mrs. Charles Simpson, ll. I. Horton and JV C. Horion, ol' Clinton, .leter li. Horton, ot Greenville, IV lt.

Ile will be buried to-morrow after noon in the family lot in thc William sion Cemetery. A Trip Through Anderson County. The editor of the Elberton (Ga.) Tri bune recently visited Anderson, and in w riting up Ins trip says : The writer went to Anderson. S. C., last Moody, by private conveyance. The forty miles between th?' nest town of upper Carolina and the hustling Granite City of Georgia contained many items of news and many object lessons. We believe Anderson County i'nrni iMs are moie systematic in building up their lands, painting and beautifying their homes, than those this side of the Savannah. Their terraces in many places are veritable breastworks that withstood the freshets of last June. Some of them ure live feet wide and From one and a hali! to three feet high. There is an air of cleanliness about their whitewashed fences and painted liouscs which bespeak thrift and pros perity. The ronda are good, but very little tictter thnn Elbert's roads with excep tions hereafter noted. Every branch, reek and drain across the road we .raveled in Anderson County is bridged, ind these : .mil bridges aro kept in good condition. Thc places hero and Jicic which would bo bad it' they were lorinittcd, seem to be looked after. Wo are not going to locnto the long tailed Carolinian or short-sighted jcorgtan w ho is responsible for this noticeable difference in thoso little natters whi?h. combine to constitute good ronda Mid guarantee safety to ito, limb and vehicle. But somebody u Elbert ought to learn something "rom somebody in Anderson about 'How to have good roads." The McCormick People Indignant. McCoilMlCK, S. C., October IS.-Our leople are very indignant over the act that .Judge Aldrich should have r ran ted bail to Singleton McIntosh nrhen the coroner's jury found that ho md committed an offense not bailable. They arc loud in their criticism of lis action; more so when the facts jrought out nt tho inquest showed so dearly that he had committed wilful murder. Your correspondent desires most ear nestly not io misrepresent nor distort facts, and for the sake of tho high itnnding, tho many Christian virtues ind tho high intellectual attainments )f this manv family, he is sorry to have o say anything at all, but as your cor espondent, and my wish to portray ns rear as is possiblo for cold words to do so the feelings of our people, I nm Torced to s'ntc that they look upon this ictton as simply turning a dangerous man loose on tho community. It has been stated by reliablo parties that ho (McIntosh) previous to his killing Mc Kinney had boasted more than once that ho intended to kill three more men be t ore he would be satisfied, naming McKinney ns one of them. The other two, ol'course, are now nt his mercy, and experience teaches us that he has no mercy. "Alack ndny" when a high tribunal, one that is sworn to uphold our statutory laws, should overrido nil foi mer precedents nnd grant bail to a niau accused of wilful murder by ti jury of twelve honest and intelligent men in every way his peers.-?peehtl to Augusta Chronicle. - The Secretary of State has issued a commission to a concern which seems to bea pioneer in the matter of tho development of the South. It is to bo known ns tho Palmetto Gold and Min ing Company and is to have a capital stock of $1,000,000. The headquarters of thc company aro to be Spartanburg, and it is thc purpose to mine gold, sil ver, copper, etc. This company is to develop and operate the West Springs Goldmine, about four miles from Glenn Springs, in Spartanburg county. _ D.

The three little children of Mr. Will M. Hayes, were playing in their yard. They are six, four and two years old, respectively. They saw several little pigs in the lot and ran in there to catch them, just for fun, to make them squeal. Each one caught a little pig, and the pigs began to squeal loudly. The noise attracted the attention of three other large hogs and they bore down upon the little children in great rage. An old hog grabbed the little two year-old girl by the arm, between the elbow and shoulder, und crushed it breaking every bone. The little four year-old boy's wrist w as broken. The oldest boy's pig didn't squeal as loudly as the others and he escaped with slight injuries. All the children are badly bruised, especially about the fact', each one having a strong light w ith the hogs be fore they were rescued by their parents. At lust it was thought all three wore seriously injured, but they sent imme diate! j 'mitti. (Julie, of, Winterviiie, and Dr. Little, of Crawford. At a late hour last night all three w ere resting well. Thc smallest child is very badly injured and its arm may have to be amputated. Jews and Gentiles.. The Columbia Jfceord, speaking of the marriage of two young Gentiles, friends of Governor Mcsweeney, to two .Jewish young ladies, says: "This is perhaps the lirst time in the history of the State when the Governor will take tho placo of a minister or a priest in a homo wedding." Governor Mc sweeney has been invited to marry the two couples. About 180<l, when Janies L. <br was Governor of the State, a Gentile and handsome young Jewess of Columbia agreed to marry. They agreed not to call in a Jewish I tabbi, or a Christian minister, and asked Gov ernor Orr to perform the ceremony. In speaking to some friends about it tho Governor said "that the brido did not want a Christian and the groom did not desire a Jew to marry them, and as I was neither Jew nor Christian they have invited mo to tie the knot." Carolina Spartan. - . r? - A Remarkable Story. FAHWURN, GA., Oct. 12.-A negro, handcuffed and carrying a j jg of moonshine whiskey, made his appear ance at the railroad depot here, pur chased a ticket and left for Atlanta. The negro related a rather remarkable h tory, and this is perhaps thc first case on record whore a prisoner having es caped from captors voluntarily goes to make his appearance before tho very court whither thoy wore oarrying him. United States Deputy Marshalls Johnson and Cox arrested him on a charge o; making blockade whiskey. Ile said they had with them a jug of moonshine, the same jug the negro tarried to Atlanta. Atter making thc arrest they began to drink. Finding themselves too drunk to navigate, the negro says they placed handcuffs on him and tied bim to themselves, after which they lay down to sleep. DThe negro managed to unloose himself, took thc jug, left tho deputies and came to Fairburn. When asked what he meant to do, ho replied that he was going to court and surrender, handcuffs, jug and all. Ul A MT C n~Rentera lor 3 aQd 2-"?rse WD ll I EU farms on Koo wee River.
