TIMMS ; ONE YEAH, - - - - $1 50 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, JAN. 30, 190i; According to the Columbia llecord during tins session of the L?gislature there has been an unusual amount of jockeying for position in future polit ical races. The Charleston exposition is a State enterprise, therefore, of course, the State will bo expected to do its part nobly. Not only tin State, but every county in the .State ought to vote a anm towards the proper setting forth of the resources of the State. The matter is right down to a business basis now and it is time to be acting. Anderiion County must have a good exhibit at the Exposition. If Half n dozen farmers in a country community would all get enthused over the idea of road improvement and be willing to co-operate to secure bet ter roads in their neighborhood, they would be surprised at what they might accomplish. Just so long as men be grudge the doiugof any work of this sort without pay nnd try to see how poor a service they can render in pay ment of the public demand upon them just so long will we have poor roads. -mm - The wonderful growth of our coun try is evidenced by the recent reports of the government Bureau of Statistics, showing the imports and exports from the various ports to the different divi sions of the world in the last decade. It will bo noted that all imports have decreased by over one hundred per cent. The increase of exports shows a healthy condition nnd will cause a con stant How of the world's cash into the money vaults of this country. . ? ? i .? It has been stated on tho floor of congress that American barrooms are doing immense damage, not only to tho natives but to tho army in tho Philippines. An amendment wns offered to tho army bill to prevent tho importation und sale of liquor in the Philippines islands, but it was defeat ed. Senator McLaurin voted against the amendment and Senator Tillmau for it. Does this indicate thnt tiio Intter Senator is now a prohibitionist? - ? - m< It seems that the miniature nations are not satisticd that tho great powers should do nil the snarling, so they want to take a hand in it themselves. The Balkan states are in a condition of per petual unrest, nnd now little Holland nnd Portugal are making faces at each other. Neither of these countries is inrge enough to bo taken seriously when considered separately, but their international relations mako the threat ened outbreak nesumo a far graver as pect. It is expected thnt the decision of tho Supremo Court of the United States on tho "new possessions" cases will be handed down in tho nenr future. The members of tho Court understand the urgency of the cases nnd it is reported that the Court has been giving the matter unusual consideration with tho view of disposing of the momentous questions involved ns soon as possible. All legislation for the Philippines nnd Porto Rico nnd Gunm.is being held up ponding a settlement of their status, and tho policy of the government to ward them cannot be de finitely decided npon until tho decision is handed down. .. .- mm o mmi Ex-Sheriff J. Y. Jones, of Abbeville, who is spending a few months in Texas r?cup?r?ting his health, in a letter to tho Abbeville iVc?? and Panner soys : "Advise your people to plant cotton and make their expenditures on a basis of 6 cents. Texas will plant for a four million bale crop, and will in all prob ability make it. I havo seen more cot ton plowed under hero than you made on tho best rein Abbeville County. The scarcity of labor caused the wheat crops to bo curtailed this fall about seventy-five per cent; all this grain land will bo put in cotton. Texas has land sufficient when brought into cul tivation, to mako all the corn, wheat and oats she needs, ami twelve million bales of cotton. This may sound vis ionary, but he who lives to see 1050 will see the assertion verified." It is gratifying to note thnt Demo cratic leaders everywhere are getting into better temper with each other. The past few months of mutual criti cism has about convinced all that what each has said is like "tho kettle calling tho pot black." for there have been mistakes and autocratic action in all factions. Coining to a realization of this fact puts the temper of tho party in a position to unite again under more satisfactory conditions. There is great hope for this kind of a party, b"t none for ono torn by crimination and re crimination. With tho lights now be fore us, leaving tho "dead past to bury its dead," we mny hope for new life and great succeos in preserving the ?iberti' and principles upon which th" party was first nourished into life and growth. Let the work proceed on these lines of mutual consideration and we will seo in 100-i a united Democracy, holding within its loyal control tho support of a majority of tho people of this country. ? A dam.i^o caso has been settled at Tuscaloosn, Ala., for which no precc ?uuis in iaw could bo found. O. B. Wilson was talking over a telephone during a thunderstorm nnd was strnck by lightning and killed. Suit was brought for dnm rgo--, and settled by the payment of $1,800 by tho toie- j COLUMBIA LETTER. ?hat Our Law .Makers are H?ing at Ute Stute Capitol. /'V m mi Ont' Oint < '<>n rr-tumtcitl. Cou Mi-.i \, s. c, Jan. v.m. Tliose who hoped for il short session of the Legislature are going to be dis appointed. Then; aroalready upwards of ?00 bills before tho House alone and more coining. Some of them, in fact the great majority of them, will be made ?bort shift of, but it generally takes more time to kill a bill than to pass one, so we may expect a full forty day session. The disposition of the Legislature this year is very plainly conservative. The members court no change how ever rosy may be the promise that the proposed ehaugo oilers. This was shown in the elections as well as in the course of legislation. Judges Gary and Townsend had practically a walk over. Gury had no opposition at all and Townsend got 81) of the 118 votes cast. The ^ballot for Librarian and Code Commissioner were more exciting, there being no ' incumbent" in the race. Miss Lucy Bun on was elected after several ballots as Librarian and W.U. Townsend, of Harnwell, a law partner of,the Attorney General, was elected Code Commissioner. In spite of tho bitter attacks made on the ap pointment of August Kohn as trustee of thp South Carolina College by tho Governor in the last campaign, ho wns unanimously re-elected and the mem bers of the Legislature thought that they had done a good thing.' There have been a number of amend ments ottered to the more general of the public acts, but they are almost invariably turned down. A bill which was generally regarded as one of the best offered this year, that byJ.P. Thomas taking the olliccs of County Superintendent of Education out of polities, was killed. This was a bill prepared along the line suggested by Stute SuperintendentMcMahan, who is nothing daunted by the failure. Ho says that he knows that it is a good law and he will como up smiling next year. He thinks that the bill was de feated because many of the members did not think that the people at homo would endorse their vote, but my opinion ie that it was tho all-pervading conservatism which in this time of prosperity refuses to risk a ehaugo in any direction. Among the measures that were pass ed was tho bill making the appropria tion of .*."i0,000 for the South Carolina and West Indian Exposition which passed tho Senate with only six in op position. This may be considered a settled thing. The lethargy of tho House was bro ken pretty effectively once over tho proposition to cut oft' tho dispensary profits from the schools in those coun ties which do not have dispensaries. This bill passed the House though it was very bitterly condemned as au attempt to starve the virtuous prohibi tion counties into taking their "chemi cally pure" along with the rest of tho Stute. It is questijnable whether the Senato will pass it. The interessof the week has centered around the committee investigations in regard to tho child labor law. These investigations have shown that tho bigger mills in tho State are doing a wonderful woik for their employees; it is a strictly paternal government that they have established but they are caring very strictly after tho minds and bodies of their employees. Some of the "unregenerato" have tho effron tery to sny that it is "white slavery" as complete as was ever the slavery of the African. It seems more evident than ever that what I said in regard to this law in a recent lotter is true, that if a fight wero to be made on it tho bill would not pass, but if left as it seemed at lust it was going to bo, to jog its own gait, it would go through just be cause everybody thought that it would. Now really it does not seem that there have been any very cogent reasons preseutcd why it should pass. Thoro have been no evidences of cruelty in any of tho mills or tho least imposition or ^rdship on tho children. There are many people, however, \\ ho think that tho government as exercised in the mills has a very strong tendency to wards making children of tho parents. Another interesting matter has de veloped in regard to the light ingof the j public buildings. The State had a con tract with the local company which generated its electricity with power from tho State's reservation in tho canal. Now t:;o "local light and power company will get power from tho Olympia mills for their cars and tho city For lighting its streets aud for commercial use. It is therefore sug gested that the State buy tho plant of the local company and generate its own power. Now the most interesting mat ter that this question has developed is tho fact that the new mills that arc going up on the Congareo arc scorning the wonderful falls of tho canal and will generate electric power by steam. Justus could be dono in any old placo that has no more of a canal than Flor ence hns. The Olympia mills will run the biggest boilers that anybody in this part of the world ever saw. Besides running tho Olympia mill tho power will bo furnished to the Hichland and the Grnnby mills and to the city as said before. This will leave the Co lumbia mills tho only one using the great canal that was considered to be the drawing card for Columbia. Whether this experiment of Mr. Wlm ?ey's mill be a success or not is a ques tion. Other engineers say it cannot be and that he will have to conic to terms with the ennal men after all. If it is a success the New England people who have control of theso mills will havo to hustle to save themselves. The State, however, is Ure?dy paid for all the ex pense that it went to in this hiir ditch. Senator Ildevton has a bill which will be introduced this week which may cause some little con as ith n; itproposes an utueuUmelit to tho constitution de claring that a repr?sentative of ^i trust or money corporation n?ie.?i j >ibo oio gible to a seat in tho Legislature. It is almost too radical to pass but it will give the anti trvst Senators a chanco to say what thoythihk. Tho general appropriation bill will probably como in this week. It will call for tho usual five mill tax. l Habtweli, M, Aveu, TO THE PUBLIC. THE undersigned havhig bought the interest^of Mr. F. G.

The 20th Century Meihod of selling Groceries means the same goods for less money, or better goods for the same money as formerly charged. The old way of run ning up all sorts of needless expenses iktf? making the buyer pay for them all is out-of-oate. It never was right to make the good payers pay for losses caused by the no-rayers. I determined to get away from it at the first oppor tunity, and I believed that folks would rather have it the new way wheu eve-1 ry body pays for his own and for the goods of no one else, The big increase in my business caused by the savings actually made, which savings are turned over to my customers, suits thrifty buyers, and it helps me to take quick ad vantage of market changes and secure lower prices than ever?for cash with mo goes farther than credit, just the same as it does with you.
