Ho would be glad to have the co-operation of teachers and others who may be in terested in the. undertaking. m . mm - - It is announced that another ex plore! is about to start on a search tor tho north pole, with high hopes nf Und ing it. lt is not improbable that his explorations will end like those of a number who have gone before him - not in the discovery of the pole, but of another world. - - . tm Capt. V. E. McHco has been pro moted to the position of first Vice president and t?ciicral Manager of the Scnboarn Air Line system. Capt Mo Bee stands high in the railroad world and justly deserves t he most command ing positions. He is almost idolized by his men all along the line. A school teacher says that pupils who have access to newspapers at home, when compared willi those who have not, ari' better readers and better spellers, excellent in pronunciation and rend more understandingly and obtain practical knowledge of geography in almost half thc time it requires for others. Tin; newspaper is decidedly an important factor in modern life. Thc Camp of United Confederate Veterans at Birmingham, Ala., has adopted resolutions declaring that the invitation extended President McKin ley to attend the national reunion in Memphis this spring waa one of emi nently good taste and that criticism of tho act was unjustiiiable and should be condemned. Tho Camp takes the posi tion thnt tho President is President of tho whole country, and that his pres ence at any aggregation, bo it Federal or Confederate, would be proper. Tho frames of the new constitution in Cuba have found that they havo no small undertaking on hnnd. How to engraft American ideas on to an old Spanish system, is proving a serious problem. Soveral months hove already elapsed, nod tho work is nowhere near complete. February 15th is tho day when it is to bo submitted to the Presi dent who in turn will send it to Con gress. The greatest question yet to bo Bottled is the relation of the new gov eminent to the United States. That it cnn proceed to do as it pleases with out regard to the United States will be far more injurions to Cuba than to this country. The relations of the two countries should be clearly defined, and. the United States should and must re main in a position to protect life and property ir? the island if the govern ment now to be inaugurated fail to do so. Those who have made calcul?t ions on the appropriation bills pending and those passed at the lirst session of thu present Congress declare the total ap propriations for tho fifty-sixth Con gress will amount to about two billion dollars. This enormous sum is double tho appropriation of tho Heed Con gress, which was known tho world over for its extravagance, and the fact that such appropriations aro being made with no little not iee or comment is ono of tho best evidences of the wonderful change which has come over tho people during thcBo times of pros perity. Where they formerly regard ed appropriations of millions ns pro fligacy and extravagance they now look upon tho spending of a billion dollars as a matter of only ordinary importance. Tho Republicans argue that the government has the money, and that it might as well be spent. Cheap Cotton and Mill Boom. Cotton is going to be cheaper next fall than now, and there will not bo so amen money realized from tho crop. Cheaper cotton will help stimulate the mill boom and will mean a greater de ?land for country produce. People who begin to realize these facts now, have time in which to make the most of the .itaation. The people who will strike it right, will be those who tum their attention te chickens, pigs, cattle, po tatoes, onions, cabbage and the like. Of eonrse, if everybody would go into these lines there would be an over supply; but no ono need have fears on that score. Not ono out of twenty, even .f those who will vote this a good sug gestion, will ever take this trouble to act npon it. They'll wait nntil next fall and envy the "good luck" of those *liu wii? be on unod with tho commo-1 dit ?ca that aro in tho most demand.- * ? Yot'kviJle Enquirer.

'Jin- most Kensal Ional a vent of the week hus been thc introduction of a resolution of condemnation in tho I louse di rooted ii gainst Senator McLuu lin and his course in tim national L?g islature in support of I?-'; policy of tho administration, lt is not very likely to pass, though it is in sympathy with lin- views of nt least nine-tenths of the members of that body, HO far as we eau learn. There is genuine regret ai the. eon rs?' t hat Senator Mel.am in has pursued, for ho is very popular person ally. The pa ssa gi; of n r?solu) ion such ns (he one offered by I'opiesenlntivc McMaster, of Richland, is n garded as too drastic. It is generally preferred lo Kettie scores w it ii tin Senators at the ballot box. There ure a whole host of good and worthy ."-ons of South t'a 10 lina who are looking forward to meet ing the ti until I ii n 11 ni ii on the hust ings and Min il iain him before the sovereign people. Among the number that rumor says is to he in the light is representative l.ntinicr, of Anderson, who has made a very enviable reputa tion in Congi cns and who bas made II point ol' winning the bea its ol' such South Carolinians as came within tho sphere ol his iulliicticc. Mr. Liilimcr is one of I he lew men whose head has liol been turned by being in Washing ton, and better still, his henri is in the same plaee that it was when he hist went to represent tho plain people of the third district. Another man that rumor says will be very much in evi dence in the light is Speaker Steven son, whoso newspaper friends have been grooming him fur the ince (pl?te awhile. Ile isa strong man and has nnule such good usc; of his lillico of Speaker that lie will pulla long vole when the time comes. Ho will divide the strength of lim l'en Dee willi Mc Llllirin, and gel the longest end of the Hiring. The session is very evidently draw ing ton elose. There is the rush and bustle of the home, stretch in every thing. The debates are getting more pointed anil words are not wasted for client na Ibey always aro now in the early days of the session. Members are ali working now and l he engrossing department is nuder extra, head ol' steam. Among Ibo Illings that have been decided l>y the past week's work is that the Stale will not he redistricted, also the day for t he lease ol' convicts i.-t not ont ?rely past, neither will there be com pulsory education this year. Among the Ads of general import ance ratified are tin; following: The appropriation for the Charleston exposition; to prevent salli of goods within a mile of a ea nip meeting ground: to require county commission ers to show the nature of the claims paid in tho reports: requiring a bond for pence ollicers in an unincorporated town; the bond amendments to the constitution voted on at the. last elec tion; to require courts to take cogni zance of tho ordinances of towns and cities. Tho Legislature has dodged nil gen eral legislation that could well bo got ten out of. They made a big bluff?t first about settling the county govern ment law so that it would meot tho demands of nil pcoplo and be n perfect instrument, but. when it came to tho scratch this, and everything of liko nature, was quietly continued to next yenr. lt is not that tho law makers aro lazy, but ns pro\ isly noted in this correspondence th*. ave stricken with with almost stringei.c form of conser vatism. They just hated to upset any thing. Tho Legislature has not been nig gardly if it bas been conservative. The appropriations for this season will bo about $250,000 more than those last year. These appropriations are divid ed among tho various State offices, be ing an increase of salaries to em ployees averaging about $400 to each oilier and $2,300 for the attorney gen eral to prosecute trusts with, appro priations for new buildings nt the va rious State colleges and the $100,000 proposed foi public schools, which has passed the House but may be again killed in the Senate, the $50,000for tile Charleston Exposition, bonds and in terest a little increase, and completion of the State House, $15,000 lighting and insurance. Pensions $100,000. A total increase of appropriations of $328,271. On the other hand there is an offset of $78,010 which was spent for a number of items last year that aro not called for this year, among them being elections, $17,700, tho $!15, 000 for Winthrop, $10,000 for a negro building nt Cedar Springs, various ex penses of Stato oflices and misccllane- | ous items. Trero is nn increase of four and a ?alf million in taxable property, which will cover tho addi tional expenditures. Tho Stato treas ury is in a good condition It has not been depleted but it is not a bottom less pit by any means. This week will see tho end of the session. It lins been without interest to tho State at large and its cost to the State will be abont $45,000. Maybe it was worth it. HAHTWKLI, M. AYF.I?. - Congressman Stokes has been as signed the special dnty by tho govern ment of investigating tho resnlts of the rural free delivery system in tho Slate. Fifteen more routes havo been allowed tho State. - In Philadelphia there are three or four establishments where wedding garments and mourning clothes are hired by tho day. A bridal outfit worth perhaps $150 or moro is loaned to a brido nt an expenso of from $10 to $15. Tho on uer sometimes engages a detec tive to watch tho bride, to see that she doesn't skip with tho gay toggery. A ?ifcu? Weck in Augusta.
