"One of tho predictions for the now century is cheaper living-that is, liv ing as well as we do now for less money. It is hoped the prediction will prove correct. Tho Legislature met in Columbia yesterday and organized. Hon. W. T. Stevenson was elected Speaker on hrst ballot, receiving T.i votes, Mr. Prince 2? and Mr. Weston 17. There is at least one advantage of being poor. No ono will bi; looking around your premises for a * 25, OOO boy to kidnap nor subject you u> tho terri ble strain of deciding whether you shall comproini.se with the kidnapers. - ? . ?? . - Philip D. Armour, king of thc pork packers, multi-millionaire, philanthro pist and ono of the greatest finan ciers of the past decade, died at bin home in Chicago last Sunday, after a long illness. Ho started lifo n poor boy and died ono of the world's wealth iest men. In works of charity Mr. Armour's monument will be found in the Armour Institute, to which but a short time ago he gave ?750,000 in ono rciucmbernnco. A distinguiuhed New York penolo gist, Eugene Smith, estimates tho direct annual cost of crime in tho Uni ted States at #2()0.00u,000. The indirect effects of crime bring tho total annual cost to about $400,000,000. Thc total cost of education in tho whole country in 181)0 was only one-third tho latter ligure, amounting to8130,000,000. In thc present census returns it is not likely to exceed $200,000,000. Crime, there tore, is twice ns expensive to tho coun try at Inrgo ns the education of all eiasscH of its population. ?nm . - Judge Buchanan is going to be a candidato for re-election, but with all of his sensational appeals, it is not likely that a South Carolina L?gisla ture will ro-elect such a man. Wc know nothing against his moral char acter, but ho is, in our judgment, abso lutely incompetent, and at Orangeburg set nsido the verdict of tho jury in a ease of .which n verdict For the county in a lynching caso which had been twice tried before, with like results. When three juries pass on a question, it may fairly bo considered settled. But perhaps Judge Buchnnan, who abused a jury in Spnrtanburg County for failing to agree, fuels called upon to set asido their verdicts when they don't lind verdicts ns he desires. Col. It. W. Hunt, tho genial and pop ular agent of tho Southern railway at Augusta, succeeds Gcorgo B. Allen ut division passenger agent nt Charleston and W. E. McGee, passenger agent nt Greenville, succeeds Mr. Hunt nt Au gusta. These promotions follow ss the result of tho recent promotion of George Allen to be assistant general passenger agent of the Southern at St. Louis. All of the men concerned were in direct line of promotion. This com pletes the list of chnnges in tho passen ger department of tho Southern at present. "Bob" Hunt, who is promo ted to succeed Allen at Charleston, is one of tho best known passenger mon in this territory. Ho has hosts of friends who will learn of his promotion with pleasure. The record of crimes and casualties throughout the country only empha sizes tho need for a rigid enforcement of the law against concealed weapons. Tho statistics on homicides in tho United States for 1900, as compiled by tho Chicago Tribune, Show a total of 8,275, au increase over 1800 of 2,050. From 1805 to 1800 there w as a steady decrease from year to year, tho total falling from 10,500 to 6,225. But this year there was a gain of more than 2,000. Tho records of our criminal courts show thnt this pernicious prac tice is the prolific source of most of the crimes and bloodshed in our State. Let our grand juries, solicitors, judges and other legal officers do everything possible in their power in the enforce ment of laws against carrying tho rendy pistol; let them insist upon the enactment of more stringent laws with moro sr * wre penalties, and let imprison ment and not a fine bo the punishment for all violatious. Let the rich as well ns tho poor be arrainged before our courts, and when tho law lins been violated let tho extremo limit of tho penalty bo applied, then we may ex pect fewer homicides. The center of population of tho Unit ed States has been announced by tho geographer of the census bureau to be within a few miles of Columbus, Ind. The center of population of a country is not, as ifi popularly supposed, the point from which there is an equal dis tribution of people, but the center of gravity, as it were, of tho whole sur face of the country, each individual being presumed to have tho same weight. Assuming the country to be a piece of cardboard, it must bo perfect ly balanced upon a pivot point, and this pivot point is called the center of population. The computation is made by counting the number'of people in each square degree cf latitadc, then assuming the total weight to bo located at the center of this "squaro degree." By allowing for the difference in lever age exerted according to tho weight and length of the Jever, the point nt ,wh;ch thc card nir?y be perfectly bal anced indeterminable to tho statisti cians. Tho pivot at the point being at this census in Indiana, it is computed - $1 50 75 (hat thu weight ol'twelve uno on the Pacific (.-(last will equalize thal ol' forty on tho Atlantic, the length nf Ibo leverage in tin; Iii?! instance overbal ancing the equal number on tho short end. A Tribute to Krank T. wilhite. It was with *?ad hearts the many friends of Trank 'i'. W?hlte saw his mortal remains laid to rest on Wednes day, Jan. 2, 1001, in tho Baptist ceme tery in the city of Anderson. It seems only a short time since bo appeared liko a young man in full strength of his manhood, with tho promise of a long life before him. No ouo knew, and little did he realizo, that death had marked him for his own before tho year's record should be closed, yet such was the case. Ho was a young man, yet ho has passed through tho most eventful and historic period of our country. In his death li in friends can justly claim that Anderson has lost one of her purest and one :;f her moat pro gressive yoong men. The writer Hist knew Frank us ahoy, i when I.? was about 10 years of age, and although som? years his senior, a ' friendship and attachment was then ! formed which has lasted through more than twenty years without a ningle break. Ile was a successful druggist. On thc 17th day of April, 1HK0, ho was j licensed by the South Carolina Phar maceutial Association, but. ho did not j atop with thiH. After a few years ho i entered the National Institute of Phar macy located in Chicago, 111., from which institution ho was graduated September 1, 1888, and in his examin ation tied with a classmate. Cn his monthly report dated July 28 tho pro fesser added at the bottom "you stand third in a class of 100 students," but ero another month rolled around he was one of the first, and thus hnving shown that he was truo to himself ho could not be fulse to others. Standing by his bier, it was a noble tribute paid to his worth a? a man when when ono who received his training ar a druggist under Frank Wilhite said: "There is no one cnn any that that man had a ' penny of ?.money he was not entitled to. lie] was strictly honest, fair and conscientious in all his business deal ings." Ah! in this ago of speculation and avariciousness, of how many business men can this be said hy ono of their former clerks after (hey aro nilent in death? I As a business man he was method ical. Ho had a place for everything, and he always knew whereto lind it. Ho was trusted, and was worthy of every trust imposed upon him. lu 1880, when Anderson was practi cally without a hotel, ho started tho movement which resulted in the build ing of Hotel Chiquoln. Ho raised a sufficient sum of money to begin tho work, and was instrumental in organ izing tho company and was made its iii nt president and general manager, ile was mndo chairman of tho building committee and that building will stand for years as a monument to his untir ing work and energy. When the old company sold on"; ho was ono of the main organizers of tho Anderson In vestment Company that purchased tho property and was tho president, treas urer and general manager thereof at tho time of his death. In 1888 he was elected an nlderman of the city and greatly assisted in the work of establishing water works and electrio lights in the city of Anderson, but guarded with watchful caro against extravagance ii. tho administration of the public funds. At the timo of his death, probably but few men of his age had attained in this State a higher record in Mason ry. His tbrethren of the craft de lighted to recognize his services and honor him. From Past High Priest of Burning Hush Chapter, I?. A. M., he roso to tho roost exalted station in Royal Arch Masonry in South Caro lina, having for two years acceptably filled tho office of Grand High Priest in the Cryptic Rite. He was also prominent in having been thrice Illus trious Grand Master of tho Council, R. years and S. M., for South Carolina. For ho was tho ti usted treasurer of Hiram Lodge, No. 08, A. F. M., and u member of tho Spartanburg Commandery, No. 3, K. T , and also of tho Oasis Temple, A. A. O. N. H. S. at Charlotte. N. C., nnd chairman of tho hall committee.* Ho was one of tho charter members and Past Chancellor of Chiquoln Lodge, No. 83, K. of P., of Anderson. Last but not least, ho was an humble follower of Jesus of Nazareth. He united with the First Baptist church of Anderson in June, 1877, and np to his death had lived an upright Christ ian lifo. Frank Wilhite was a man of deep convictions To those who knew him not hu may have appeared distant and unsympathetic, but he was ever ready to lend a helping hand to tho poor and unfortunate. He was puro in mind and heart and clean in speech. His devotion to his nffiictcd mother in her declining year? showed the nobility of his character. Now that he ia gone what a sweet memory does ho leave in The Essence of Economy - Is not found in buying Groceries ? out regard to quality, but in-buyiug C*i n?s-?, and jet are priced at about same articles.

(Jone! Ah, ye3, gone. gum*, forever, like a beautiful I dream, but not forgotten while tho mother, sister, brother and friends remain. In the hospital in Baltimore when dying he told tho loving oneo around him of his faith in Christ aud that he was prepared tedie. lits waa conscious to tho last and a sister's kiss lingered j on his lips as the spirit took its flight I to tho Homo beyond the stars.

BOLT, The Cash Grocer, HARRIS LITHiA WATER Is the strongest natural Lithia "Water in the United States ! Which is shown by the analysis and testimonials from the most noted Physi cians of the country. Read what Major S. S. Kirkland, who ii known by almost every one in South Carolina : EDGE FIELD 8. C.. A nur. 12, 1900. Mn J T. HABRIB-Dear Sir : I tralv feel BO grateful for the benefits derived from Harrie Lithia Water that, were I able, I would like to erect a monument to oem mem?rate its virtues ?nd curative powers. For over thirty years I have been a fearful sufferer from what ls knowe es 07? ?uni? ur Catarrh of the bladder and enlargement of the prostrate gland, oauaed from ex po* u ra apdjhard horseback riding during the war and slnna; too- My bladder was constantly in's dreadful stat? of irritation, causing a constant desire to urinate, par ticularly during the night. My urine was of a very dark oolor, and thick with mu cus and deposits ; sometimes aa dark xs any strong lye or black copper and of a very disagreeable odor. I consulted my physicians. Some of them, the most prominent in the dona, and I believe they did all they could ; bat I never experienced the nllgbtest benefit from thrir advice. Old remedies and new rem?di?e were used. Every known remedy 1 believe waa taken by me aod, besides, varions mineral wa ters, but to no effect, and for years I straggled elong ; snd I troly believe that for ovtr thirty years I did not enjoy ten consecutive dsys free from pain or annoyance from this dreadful disease of my bladder, until finally oboat two or three years ego I lot down and bad to give up my profeeslon (civil engineering.) I bad about con cluded to "turovr up the sponge" and straggle no longer, when friends urged me to try Hsrris Lithia Springo, which I finally concluded to do. more by way of obliging interested friends tbsn for any great good that I expected from the waters. I came to the Springs, reaching them about tho middle of Jans, tired, sick and with little faith, but determined to give the waters a fair and an honest trial, which I did. And I can trutbfn'1 v and hnnAatly ?tete that I wai well ??nsr?e? fur eu ?oiag, fur before 1 left there I nih ,t soundly and was rarely disturbed by calls of nsture. T was, for the first time in over 25 yean, passing clear, healthy water-the resnlt of the great and wonderful curative powers of Hsrris Lithia Water. Too muob cannot be said for this great health-restoring fountain of nature. You are, gentlemen. &? liberty to refer to me as to the great healing nronenslty of your Harris Lithia V/stsr. I bav? XO?WU U? a nomuer or other parties who also have found great relief from this Water. Yours very troly. 8. 8. KIRKLAND.
