Earle, l^q., of Walhalla, is agaiu occupying the editorial chair of the Oconec Newt, which ia now pub lished at Seneca. We extend him thc right hand of fellowship and wish he and the Niete? big success. Thc South Carolina pensioners will not this year get the extra $50,001) which the Legislature intended giving them. Thc Supreme Court bas so decided in the ease brought to test the matter. This will besad news to tho old soldiers and soldiers' widows, but it cannot be helped now. The fsouthcro Baptist Convention at Ne / Orleans selected Asheville, N. C., as the next meeting place. A resolution was adopted declaring that the members of thc Baptist Church believe the demands for indemnity from China-arc unscriptural, and that the Church should bo willing to suffer for the oauso of ' irist. The nuisance of stamping cheoks and drafts, telegrams and other docu ments of daily usage will soon bc abated. The bill that goes into effect Jnly 1st removes the war tax on tho following articles: Bank checks'and drafts, bills of lading for export, cer tificates not otherwise specified, sight drafts, express receipts, money orders, mortgage or conveyance in trust, power of attorney to sell, promissory notes, protest, telegraph messages, warehouse receipts. On all else thc tax is retained. We agree with the Yerkville Kn quirer wheo it says: "We again beg to remark that thc only recognized rule ef Democracy in South Carolina is loyalty to the result of thc primary election. Any white man has a right to advocate, witb'n tho primary, any view that he may oec proper to advo cate. The white voters themselves arc tho jadges as to what they prefer, and thc man who is afraid to trust these white voters on any proposition, is not a Democrat. That is not North ern or Western Democracy, but it is good in South Carolina." -mm *>? m Some of tho newspapers in this State have developed a great fondness and profound respect for Gen. Wade Hampton in the last few weeks. Some years ago, when the Beform fac tion of thia State was in the act, the ungrateful and wicked aet of turning Gen. Hampton oat oi tat? United States Senato, at the dictation of the "Great Leader," these newspapers night have helped the gallant ?ld warrior and statesman by exhibit ing their admiration and respeot for him, but instead thoy sneered at him, and awaited his defeat in ghoulish glee. They need not soft-soap him now; the publio know that they arc not sincere. In Columbia last Friday Attorney General Bellenger gave a decision holding' in effect that there is ne legally constituted government for the County cf Charleston, tho board of eounty commissioners being illegal. This is the culmination of a jarring factional fight that has been going on in Charleston for several weeks. The first effect of thc deoision was disas trous to the dispensaries. According to this decision, tho Beard being illegal its acts wero invalid and thc bonds of county dispensers ap proved by it null and voii. linder these circumstances, Directe rs Evans and Dukes, of thc dispensary, ordered that every dispensary in Charleston bc closed. There is much speculation OB to how legal business can bo done in Charleston. Somo prominent law yers hold that it will require a meet ing of the General Assembly to straighten out the affairs and that a special session should be called for that purpose. O. P. Austin, chief of thc United bureau of statistics, estimates that thc population of this country at the close of tho twentieth century wi! will not be less than 300,000,000. This estimate is not made at raudom, but ia based upon ac exhaustive study .f the subject from every conceivable point of view, and uo one is in better position to make an intelligent fore oast than Mr. Austin. He is nob only in the habit of dealing with statistics, bub he is in poBsossion of the govern ment's eensns reports since the begin ning. In making thia estimate Mr. Austin not only ooaaiders the coun try's rate of growth and expansion in past years, but he considers the ex traordinary possibilities of the soil and the various agencies of progress which are no.?? at work. Mr. Austin's figures aro not extravagant.

Dea??i of Capt. Daniels. Anderson County baa sustained a J great loss in tho death of Coptsis John W. Daniels, which occurred at his bc mo in this city last Friday after noon, after a long illness, which he boro with tho fortitude characteristic olbin grand, manly nature. Forsevcrul months bc HU tiered with softening of the brain, and a few day? preceding bis ?'catii he was stricken with apoplexy which gradual I j weakened him until death came to relieve him of bis suffer ings. Capt. Daniels was born in thc neigh* hoi hood of Central, Pickens County, August 20, 1888, and was, therefore, in inc (iHlh year of his age. A low years hiter his fathor moved io Pendleton in engage in the tailoring business. Tin* deceased attended thc schools of that village, and ut thc agc of IS years he was awarded a scholarship in thc Cita del at Churl ?toil, from which be ?radnat :'d with honor t? himself four years later. When South Carolina seceded bc was among the first citizens of this section to ofter bia services in ber defence and participated in thc first battle at l ort Sumter, where ho had been assigned to duty. When thc 4th South 'landina Regimen? of Volunteers waa organized he was elect ed a Lieutenant in Co. K, and partici pated in tho first, battles in Virginia. In 18(12 the Regiment was reorganized and ho was elected Captain of Co. L in the Palmetto Sharpshooters. In the buttle uf Seven Pines he was severely wounded in the right leg, which caused his confinement in tho hospital for nearly two years and which made him a cripplo for life. During his service he was recognized by his comrades as one of the bravest and most daring soldiers in hia Regiment. In 18(15 Capt. Daniels was elected Clerk of Court for Anderson County, which position ho filled for five consec utive terms-twenty years-and a more faithful, zealous, accommodating ofliccr tho County never had. In 18t>(J be wna elected a member of the State Legislature, where he served two years, and at thc end of Iiis term ac cepted a position in tho oftice of tho Comptroller M?nerai in Columbia, where ho lived for two years and re turned to Anderson. Ile, therefore, spent nearly all his lifo in Anderson County, and was one of our best known and most highly esteemed citizens. Ile married Mrs. Julia Carpenter, a sister of our townsman, Mr. T. J. Webb, and to them was born a daughter, who died while thc parents lived in Colum bia. His wife survives him. Capt. Daniels joined tho Methodist Church in his young manhood and throughout his life was n most devot ed and exemplary member. The writer feels his utter inability to do justice to tho many noble traits of character of this good mau. The first money we ever earned wnsin tho position ho gave tis as a boy to draw the Jury in tho Circuit Court, and ever since then we have had tho honor of an intimate ac quaintance with him. Ile wna a man of excellent judgment, and was ever ready to give counsel and advice and speak an encouraging word to a strag gling young man. Life was fall of beauty and harmony to him, and his nature was tender, sympathetic and hopeful. His heart went out with emotions of kindness to the suffering and distressed, and he never turned a deaf ear to a worthy appeal for help in the hour of seed. Although a very modest man, no sot of men in secret conclavo nor in open convention ever formulated a rule or a regulation that governed, embarrassed or intimidated him if it were contrary to his own opinion, for ho believed firmly in loyal ty to principle Tho majesty of his character shone most fully in bis strict integrity. Honest, reliable, upright, conscientious, his word xvn? his bond. Energetic and true as ateel in all thc walks of life, there is no wonder thnt ho lind so many adm i reis. A man of unstinted hospitality, of high social standing and most companionable in every sense, he enjoyed his frieuda and their association. Ho is now nt rest, and will reap the rewards promis ed tho faithful by the blessed Savior whom ho served so zealously in this lifo. , The funeral services will bo held at tho St. John Methodist Church this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and will be con ducted by the pastor, Rev. J. B. Camp bell, after which tho remains will be interred in tho Baptist Churchyard. - mm mt mmm - Neal's Creek Locals.
