TEEMS; ONE YEAR, - - - - $1 CO SIX MONTHS, - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, -JAN. 9 1901. ?2 One of tho predictions for the now century ?s cheaper living-that is, liv ing as well as we do now for less money. It is hoped the prediction will provis correct. The Legislature met in Columbia yesterday and organized. Hon. W. T. Stevenson was eleetcd Speaker on first ballot, receiving 7'i votes, Mr. Prince 20 and Mr. Weston 17. There is at least one advantage of being poor. No ono will be looking Around your premises l'or a $23,000 boy to kidnap nor subject you to ti?! terri ble strain of deciding whet lier you shall compromise with Hie kidnapers. 1'hilip 1). Armour, king of the pork packers, multi-millionaire, philanthro pist and one o? tht*. greatest finan ciers of the past decade, died at Iiis home in Chicago last Sunday, niter a long illness, lie started lifo a poor boy and died one ot' the world's wealth iest men. iu works of charity Mr. Armour's monument will be found in tlie Armour Institute, to which but a short time ago he gave ?750,000 in one reniembernnce. A distinguished New York penolo gist, Eugene Smith, estimates tho direct annual cost of crime in the Uni ted States at $2(K).000,0O0. Tho indirect effects of crime bring tho total annual cost to about $400,000,000. The total cost of education in the whole country in 1800 was only one-third tho latter figure, aniountiugto$131MKM),000. In the present census returns it is not likely to exceed $200,000,000. Crime, there fore, is twice ns expensive to tho coun try al largo ns the education of all classes of its population. -m . m Judge Buchanan is going to be a candidate for re-election, but with all of his sensational appeals, it is not likely that a South Carolina Legisla ture will re-elect such a man. Wo know nothing against his moral char ade J . but he is, iu our judgment, abso lut? ly incompetent, and at Orangoburg set .i ide the verdict of tho jury ina casi of .which a verdict for the county in n lynching case which had been twice tried before, with like results. When three juries pass on a question, il may fairly be considered settled. But perhaps Judge Buchanan, who abused a jury in Spnrtanburg County for failing to agree, feels called upon to set aside their verdicts when they don't lind verdicts ns he desires. Col. Ii. W. Hunt, tho genial and pop ular agont of tlie Southern railway at Augusta, succeeds George B. Allen at division passenger agent at Charleston and W. E. McGee, passenger agent nt Greenville, succeeds Mr. Hunt nt Au gusta. These promotions follow ns the result of tho recent promotion of George Allen to ho assistant general pa&Benger agent of tho Southern at St. Louis. All of the men concerned were in direct line of promotion. This com pletes tho list of changes in the passen ger department of tho Southern at present. "Bob" Hunt, who is promo ted to succeed Allen at Charleston, is one of tho beet knowo passenger men in this territory. He has hosts of friends who will learn of his promotion with pleasure. The record of crimes and casualties throughout the country only empha sizes the need for a rigid enforcement of the law against concealed weapons. The statistics on homicides in tho United States for 1000, as compiled by the Chicago Tribune, Show a total of 8,275, nu increase over 1800 of 2,050. From 1895 to 1800 there was a steady decrease from year to year, the total falling from 10,500 to 0,225. But this year thero was a gain cf more than 2,000. The records of our criminal courts show that this pernicious prac tice is the prolific source of most of the crimes and bloodshed in our State. Let onr grand juries, solicitors, judges and other legal officers do everything possible in their power in tlie enforce ment of laws against carrying the ready pistol; let them insist upon the ennctment of more stringent laws with more severo penalties, and Jet imprison ment and not a rino bo the punishment for all violations. Let the i*oh as well ns *ho poor bo arrainged before our conns, and when tho law has been violated let the extreme limit u? tho penalty bo applied, then wo may ex pect fewer homicides. Tlie centor of population of tlie Unit ed States haB been announced by tho geographer of tho census bureau to be within a few miles of Columbus, Ind. The center of population of a country ii not, as ifi popularly supposed, the point from which thero ?B an equal dis tribution of people, but tho center of gravity, ns it were, of tho wholo sur face of the country, eoch individual being presumed to have the some weight. Assuming the country to bo a piece of cardboard, it must bc perfect ly balanced upon a pivot point, and this pivot point ia called the center of population. The computation is made by counting the number of people in 6?ch senate degree of latitude, then assuming the total weight to bo located at the center of this ..square degree." By allowing for the difference in lever age exerted according to the weight and length of the lever, the point nt which the card may ?bo perfectly bal anced indeterminable to tho statisti cians. The pivot nt tho point being nt thli census in. Indiana, it is computed llial thc weight ol'twelve mon on thc Pacific coast will equalize that <?i toi ty on (ho Atlantic, tin- length <>l the leverage in thc lirsl instance overbal ancing thc c?|tifil number on tho short end. A Tribute to Frank T. Wilhite. It was with aar heurta the many friends of Frank '1. Wilhite saw his mortal remains laid to rest on Wednes i.... in_ i, in/11 !.. .I..? it.....:..I day, .?an. ~, ... ino i.?i?wo* wiuv tery in tho city of Anderson. It seems only a short time since he appeared like n young man in fut* strength of his manhood, with the promise of a long life before lum. No ono knew, and little did he realize, that death had marked hint for his own before the year's record should be closed, yet ?ucl? was the case. Ho was a young mau, yet ho has passed through tho most eventful and historic period of our country. In his death hin friends can justly claim that Anderson has lost one ot her purest and one of her most pro gressive young men. The writer inst knew Frank as ahoy, when he was about 10 years of age, and although some years his senior, a friendship and attachment waa then formed which has lasted through -nore than twenty years without a single break. He was a .successful druggist. On thc 17th day of April, 1880, he was licensed by the South Carolina l'har maceutial Association, but he did not stop with this. After a few years he entered the National Institute of Phar macy located in Chicago, III., from which institution ho was graduated September 1, 1WH, and in his examin ation tied with a classmate. On his i monthly report dated July 28 tho pro fesser added nt the bottom "you stand third in a class of iOO students," but ere another month rolled around he waa ono of tho first, and thiiB having shown that be was true to himself ho could not be false to othcra. Standing by his bier, it was a noble tribute paid to his worth a? a man when when ono who received bia training as u druggist under Frank Wilhite said: "There is no ono can say that that mau had a penny of ?.money ho was not entitled to. Ho] was strictly honest, fair and conscientious in nil his business deal ings." Ah! in this ago of speculation and avariciousness, of how many business men eau this be said by ono of their former clerks after they ure silent in death? As a business man ho wns method ical. He lind aplace for everything, and ho always knew where to lind it. Ho was trusted, and was worthy of every trust imposed upon him. lu 1881), when Audorson was practi cally without a hotel, ho started tho movement which resulted in tho build ing of Hotel Chiquoln. Ho raised a sullicient sum of money to begin tho work, nnd was instrumental in organ izing thu company itnd wns mndo ita iirst president and general manager. He was inado chairman of tho building committee and thnt building will stand for years no a monument to his untir ing work and energy. When tho old company sold out ho was ono of tho main organizers of the Anderson In vestment Company that purchased tho property and was the president, treas urer and general manager thereof at tho time of his donth. In 1888 he was elected an alderman of the city and greatly assisted in the work of establishing water works and electric lights in the city of Anderson, but guarded with watchful caro against extravagance in tho administration of the public funds. At the time of his death? probably but fow men of his age had attained in this State a higher record in Mason ry. His Linet bren of the craft de lighted to recognize his services and honor him. From Past High Priest of Burning Hush Chapter, R. A. M., he roso to tho most 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 Rito. He was also prominent ii: having been thrice Illus trious Grand Master of tho Council, R. years and S. M., foi South Carolina. For ho was the truoiud treasurer of Hiram Lodge, No. 08, A. F. M., and u member of tho Spartnnhurg Commnndery, No. 8, K. T , and also of the Oasis Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S. at Charlotte, N. C., and ch airman of tho hall committee Ho was one of the charter members and Past Chancellor of Chiquola Lodge, No. ?G, K. of P., of Anderson. Lust but. not least, he was an humble follower of Jesus of Nazareth. Ho united with the First llaptist church of Anderson in June, 1877, and up to his death had lived an upright Christ ian lifo. Frank Wilhite was a man of deep convictions To those who knew him not he ?my have appeared distant and unsympathetic, but he was ever ready to lend a helping hand to tho pout and unfortunate. Ho wtta pure in mind nnd heart and denn in speech. His devotion to his afflicted mother in her dccliningyears showed tho nobility of his character.

HARRIS-Dear Sir : I tnlv foti so grateful for tb? benefits derived from Harris Lithia Water tbat, were I able, I would like to erect a monament to commemorate Itu virtues and curativo powers. For over thirty year* I u??$ \m? s fearful sufferer ?ress ~h?t is k?G?r; ss Cy stitis or catarrh of the bladder ano enlargement of tbs prostrate gland, caused from exposure qudhard horseback riding during the war and since, too. My bladder waa constantly IrrU dreadful state of Irritation, canting m constant desire to urinate, par ticularly during tho night. My urine was of a very dark color, and thick with mu cus end deposits ; > um ell mea as dai k aa any strong lye or black copper and of a very disagreeable odor. I consulted my physicians. Some of them, the most prominent in the South, and I believe they di l atl they could ; bnt I never experienced the slightest benefit from their ad vir*. Old remedies and new remedies were used. Every known remedy I believe vas taken by me and, besides, various mineral wa ters, but to no effect, end for years I struggled elong ; and I truly believe that for over thirty yetis Z did not enjoy ten consecutive days free from pain or annoyance from this dreadful disease of my bladder, until finally about two or three yeera ego I let down and bad to give up my profession (eivli engineering.) I had about con cluded to "tb row up the eponge" and struggle no longer, when irienda urged me to try Harrie Lithia Springs, which I finally concluded to do. more by way of obliging Interested friends than for any great good that I expeoted .from tbs waters. I came to ??ie Spring?, rd??u?Djg tuvii? ?uuui. ?ha mi?aieo? Jane, iire?, sick and with lillie faith, but determined to give the waters a fslr and an honest trlsl, which I did. And I can truthfully aud honestly ututo that I was well rewarded for so doing, for before I left ; born I slept soundly and was rarely disturbed by calls of nature. I was, for the first time in over 25 years, passing clear, healthy water-the result of the great and wonderful curative power* of Harris Lithia Water. Too much cannot be said for this great healttwestoring fountain of nature.
