One wa? sold the other day for $59,000, We would like to own two on the front row. Col. John S. Mosby predicts that the South will again become through its wealth, / h ich is increasing every year, thc dominant section of thc Union, and that Uichinond, Va., will bo thc commercial and financial center of the world. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, has started some discussion concerning thc provincialism of Congress by a pro posai that a Congressional junketing trip bc taken to thc Philippines, HO that conditions may he studied there preparatory to intelligent action in legislative matters. The statement is made that next spring thc Secretary of Agriculture will distributo throughout the country young trees as well as garden needs. The authority of their new departure was secured at thc recent session of Congress, and an appropriation was made in thc budget for thc coming year. - mai ? an. A Washington physician declares that kerosene oil, as refined by mod ern methods, develops a deadly gas if the lamp is turned down low, and may be fatal to young ohildrcn. If this bo really true, something should bo done about it. Tho uso of lamps turned down low is very prevalent in sick rooms aud children's rooms. ?- ^ ? mt An Indiana justico of thc peace de cided that intemperance is a diseaso and therefore not a crime. How about thc fellow that propagates disease of thia kind for gain? This would-be wise judgo dismissed all that came bc fore him thus charged. The record does not state what was done with tb?' fellow that spreads the disease in order to mako a dollar. It is time that Anderson County was making a tnovo towards getting up a creditable display of her resources for exhibit at thc Exposition in Char leston. It will be to her shamo if sho allows this opportunity to pass by without taking advautage of it. Tbe other counties in tho State will bo rep resented by largo exhibits, and it will never do for Anderson, the banner County of the State, not to have a place ic the State building. When Confederate reunions were first icaugeratod chere was muoh un easiness and Boroo ?ankecs talked of aharpening the sword. They have learned tho Southerner botter now. Two years ago tho gunboat, "Raleigh," was sent to Charleston to bestow honor on and givo pleasure to tho vet erana. This year tho "Scorpion" is to prooecd up thc Mississippi and bo at Memphis ta reoognizo tho chivalry sf the Southcrnor in war and in peace. -mn ? - mm Thc pay of tho rural mail carrier, we aro told, is just $500 a year. He has to mako not less than 25 miles a day, rain or shine, for 313 days and has to furnish his own team and wagon. The position is no snap, and when tho snow drifting days of a hard winter and the unfathomable mud of spring have to be encountered he will think life is hardly worth tho living. Tho main tenance of these routes will almost oompel an improvement o? tho high ways along the routes traveled. A correspondent of an oxchange auggosts that there eught to bo occa sional newspaper readings in schools. It wouid be the best possible means of teaching young people current history. If there is not limo for a regular read ing each day, then tho teaoher ought to carefully sift out of the nows tho principal events and relate them to tho pupils and comment on them. It c-mid be done in a few minutes. In country schools a weekly reading would suffice. But it won!? bo nco eessary for teaohers themselves to read the papers. m? m m The government wants 1,000 teaoh ers to go to the Philippines to educate those dusky, half civilized youngsters. Ono would suppose that teachers would be hard to seoure, but not so. The government has had 1.500 appli cations already, and it will have more than two applioants for every position and it will have to cull rather than .a<iva-s. Tho conditions are that ono a?u*t be a graduato of a college or nor ?ii! school aud have a number recom mendations, besides agreeing to bo as signed to position without any choice a id also to giving three years of ser vie* before rcuroing home. Thepay is $75 to $125 per month, sup' rinten deuts gel ti "* from $2 500 to $3 000 p ;r year. Uoole Sam ia sure pay, however, and that is a drawing card. lu stead of increasing the acreage in collen this year our farmers should put in all the corn they eau plant. There was a small crop in thu South last year, and a big crop of corn is much more needed than a big crop of cotton. Senator Mclaurin Should Be Invited to Anderson. MK. KI'ITOK: 1 wish io commend your MM (?gesti?n that Senator McLaurin he invited to Anderson to address tho people on tho vital issues of the day, and mon* especially those issues in volved in which hin loyalty to Democ racy has been so widely questioned. Now that iii?' Democratic party, as ut present constituted, sees the hand writing on tin; wail regarding its popu list ic vagaries, and shows signs ol're turning reason, 1 cnn bespeuk for our Junior Senator a respectful hearing from thu people of Anderson County. In the coming rehabilitation ol tho Democratic party, they should bc in position to form their own opinions tree from factional bias, and to this end I for one should bc glad to hear expounded the doctrines that ar? sure to become thu keystone of our futuro party existence. l? ihc friends of other candidates desire a joint discussion, I have no doubt that it can bo arrunged satisfac torily, even though ono of tho candi d?tes can not he trusted to do his own t liking, Senator Tillman having to do it for him. In this connection I desire to say also that tho friends of Senator McLaurin have nothing to fear from Senator Tillman's acti-vo hostility to ward the Junior Senator, for it recurs to them that this samo meddler was given a severe rebuke during tho Earlo-Evans Senatorial race for the practice of these selfsame dictatorial tactics, mid the conditions are now ripening for an even moro forcible protest being tiled. Let us havo McLaurin by all means ; and if tho opposing puppet cannot talk, his ventriloquist is welcome to half thu time. TUCK BM K. Lowndesviile Items. Mrs. J. T.
