In four States of tho Union the wo olen will cast their rotes for president next Tuesday. These States aro Col orado, Utah, Wyoming ami Idaho. The women in tho lirst three have already participated in n presidential election, but this is the iirst for thc Idaho giris. - - MM . .* - In Oklahoma the other da> a man was granted a divorce from his wife on the ground that she eared more for her poodle than for him. In South Carolina no divorce iran he had for any cause whatsoever. These two ex tremes illustrate the need fora uniform ilivorcc law in all of the States. - - rn? m~~mMm There are many reasons why every Democrat in .south Carolina should go to the polls next Tuesday and vote. Let us name three reasons: ist, to swell Brynn's popular vote; 2nd, to render contests by Republican candi dates for Congress less probable; :5d, to deprive Republicans of arguments to reduce our representation in Congress. -- mm . m - In many cities and towns then- is bitter disappointment and something of chagrin over the population bulle tins of the twelfth census, which are being issued from Washington, These cities and towns find thai the oilicial count does not give them as many peo ple as they thought they had, and hence there is fault duding and dissat isfaction. A New Jersey Judge, it is noted., has made the point that negroes of foreign birth cannot be natural ?zed in tho United States. An application was made to him by a negro from Dutch Guinna, who is a student at Princeton and wishes to become a citizen of the nation. The Judge cited the language of the Federal Statute, which permits the naturalization of "white mules only'' and advised him that it was im possible under the Statute for him to become a citizen of this country. And it will require an Act of Congress to open the way for him. -m m>- ?-r .. Reports of cotton mill industry for the year ending August ill last indi cate the continued rapid growth of that business in tho South. In that year the Northern mills purchased 2,00:{,000 bales, against 2,027,000 in 181)1, tho Southern mills took 1,507,000 bales, against 004,000 ia 18?1. This is a most encouraging exhibit for the South, and is calculated to cause gravo fears amoug the Northern mill owners for the stability of their business. More over, tho growth is noted daily. Last year the South put in operation 800,000 new spindles, aud 1,418,000 more aro cow in course of construct'?v..^^^* ciaimed, in view of these statistics, that within the next twelve months the South will manufacture as much cotton ns the North. Nothing moro graphic could bo produced as evidence of tho coming greatness of the "New South." - .11 M> -- There are two constitutional amend ments to bo voted on nt tho election next Tuesday. Ono proposes to permit tho cities of Charleston, Columbin, Florence, Georgetown and Rock Hill to increaso their bonded debt beyond thc limitation now set in tho Constitu tion for municipal incorporations. This debt can bo increased nuder tho proposed amendment only tor Rpecinl purposes, and will affect only the tux payers of the cities named. I f permis sion is given the question must bo sub mitted to tho freeholders of each city before tho indebtedness can bo in creased. On another pago we publish this week an appeal from tho Mayors of the cities named to tho voters of thc State urging an affirmative vote on j tho proposed amendment. The appeal 1 is a strong one and puts the matter in a very clever light, which is very con vincing if anybody lins u remnant of doubt on the subject. It is n matter that ought to bo left to the municipali ties themselves to decide, and. we hope every voter in Anderson County will vote in favor of the amendment. The other amendment to be voted on refers to thc drainage of tho swamp and low lands of this State. In some sections of the State the authority this proposed amendment will give is badly needed. Tho health of the people and the con dition of the land demands it. The farmers, especially, from tho moun tains to tho seaboard are deeply inter ested in this matter, and every one of them should voto in favor of the amendment. - tm . -i - We are in receipt of tho twenty seventh edition of Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co's, valuable animal "Cotton Movement ?md Fluctuations." lt is one of the handsomest trade pub lications we have seen, and is repleto in such statistics as any cotton man could desire. Its recognized accuracy rid its very convenient arrangement makes it invaluable as a book of sta tistical reference. We note, beside the annual tables of receipts, stocks, exports, consumption, acreage, total visible supply and iiuctuntions, many instructive original articles, among them a general review of. the cotton market for the past season, a review of thc cotton trade of the world by tho eminent statistician, Mr. Thos. II. Ellison, of Liverpool, a history of tho Liverpool Cotton Exchange, and a ; clear, concise explanation of the legiti macy and modus operandi of buying and selling cotton contracts. The work ip not for salo but for gratuitous distribution among their friends and customers. Their address is 10 and 18 Wall street, Nev; York The Confederate Veterana pf f.ieor ginwill hold ti grand reunion in tho city of Augusta on November 14th, 15th und KHh. ?/Tic veterans of South Caro lina will unite with their comrades of Georgin, and the citizens of Augusta have determined to make tho occasion one of much interest and pleasure. I Cheap rates will be given by all of tho railroads entering Augusta. Ever since tho presidential campaigu opened, politicians, editors and other persons who claim to possess prophetic power have spent much timo preparing estimates of the electoral votes which President McKinley and Mr. Bryan will receive. These tables have sup plied much of the humor of thc cam paign, though their author* neem to he, in dead earnest. .Some of them have elected both McKinley und li ryan hy unprecedented majorities, while othes lune admitted that thc result will be close, hut with their man a sun' win ner, A hugo number of Slates arc claimed with apparently equal confi dence hy both Democratic and Repub lican prognosticators, and wc doubt not that thc most absurd estimates arc swill i owed readily by many enthusias tic pail ?-ans. The chairmen of thc two great committees arc about as far apart in their estimates as most of the less prominent prophets. What Grover Says, I'Mn.AHKi.eiiiA, Oct.?O.-The Times this morning publishes thc following from Princeton, N. J. Former President Grover Cleveland in an interview predicts a landslide to Bryan. Ile advances several reasons for this, saying: "Von will seen landside l'or H ryan the morning after thc election. <.!' this I nm confident. There ure ele ments all over thc country at work which it would bc impossible to draw into linc for McKinley. In the first place, union labor is for Bryan. Of recent years this organization of la bor has been a factor in polities and it is certainly not favorable to tho interests of capital. Thc traveling men are for Brynn. These men, who aro a small army, are of the opinion that the Republican party is the projector of corporations, and by the amalgamation of industrial interests many of them have been thrown out of employment. In the Northwest, in Minnesota, in Dakota and Iowa there are many Hollanders. Sympathy for the Boors, who are their own flesh and blood, will induce them to support Bryan. Seo if I nm not correct. "I have no desire to be drawn iuto any controversy over tho results of tho election, but if the Republican iuauagers honestly think that Presi dent McKinley will bo re-elected, it is my opinion they are all mistaken. They do not know the situation." Further than this Mr. Cleveland re fuses to discuss thc campaign, hut there is no doubt concerning the fer nier presiden c's sincerity in his express ed belief. The Victim of Imperialism^^ -'- ** ~4i\\u/iat militarism and imperialism do to thrifty citizens," says tho New York World, "is plain. It is these citi zens who have supplied the 5,821 sol diers sacrificed in the war in the Philip pines. "lias any jiugo politician, commer cial statesninn or money-seeking ex pansionist lost his lifo in the attempt to reap glory uud extend trade in tho East? No! Tho victims of this wretch ed war of criminal aggression have all been brave regular soldiers or thrifty citizens who volunteered. I ninerialisin everywhere and always plays with tho lives of tho common people as pawns. ..But it is not lives and health niono that are sacrificed in Mr. McKinley's policy of imperialism and militarism. The thrifty citizens' are called upon to pay tho expenses of this war. This has already amounted to $200,000,000 and is now costing $4,000,000 a week. When tho jingo statesmen nt Washington voted war taxes did they lay them on incomes or on wealth in any form, as their imperialist brothers in England did to sustain their wnr against freedom in South Africa? Not at all! Niuo tentliB of our national taxes aro collect ed from consumption-the most of it from the common necessaries of life. "As our imperial plutocrats protected their persons from tho perils of war, so they guarded their pockets from the levies of the tax gatherer to support that war. "If the. imperialists had been com pelled to fight their own war and the trade expansionists obliged to pay the hills the tnuiblo in thc Philippines would never have happened." > Florida Girl Bailies With Snake. Pi. PIN KU. A a, PIA., Oct. 28.-While Florida Beacham was riding along a country road on horseback a big rat tler sprang up and fastened its fangs in her hnbit. Tho horse became frightened and swerved, unseat ing and throwing her to tho ground, the suakc hoing under neath. Tho bravo girl hastily loosened her habit She plied tho reptile with sticks and clubs and after a hard fight man aged to kill it. She then fainted in thc road, being found there half an hour nfterward by neighbors. Her friends have presented her with a tino revolver ns a testimony to her courage - Mr. W. B. Love, penitentiary di rector, says that convicts hired heroto fuic at $?.00 per month, are iii gr??t demand now at $8.00 to $10.00 for farm labor. Ile thinks all up tolO year con victs will be put on chain gangs to work roads, as present contracts ex pire. - Probably at no time since the civil war havo there been so few regular soldiers stationed in the United States as there is to-day.

CniCAco, Oct. 28.-At tho point of a a revolver, Charles A.

Then pressing tho weapon to his head, ho blov out Iiis brains in tho midst of those who had listened to his passionate appeal.
