The New York World says: "Hot weather is as much a part of thc Amer ican routine as is cold weather. And both are equally valuable. A succes sion of good, roaring hot sweat, stops thc heavy, fat-making diet of cool weather, gives man a complete change. And of course it is necessary in nature to grow and ripen the crops. If one suffers from the heat-really suffers the fault is not the heat's but the in dividual's. It means that one is not in his proper condition of the body. A sound healthy brain and body will work just ns wei), in hot weather as in cold, if their owner uses them in telligently. The reply of Senator McLaurin to the Democratic Executive Committee of the State will appear in our next issue, lt did not reach us in time for this publication. We refrain from special comments, because the condi tion of politics is at a point where wc think the people should read and judge for themselves. Thcie are im portant issues square up against the people, and \ e do not feel that our in formation on these issues warrant us in undertaking to try to lead, or even suggest, to our subscribers a proper and safe course. We have great con fidence in thc people, and venture thc suggestion that they read and decide for themselves, being slow to form their opinions. There should be no prejudice, but a calm, reflective spirit whioh will give thom an intelligent insight into these matters. Prof. H. W. Wiley, in Lettie's Weekly says that no food product con taining a preservative should ever be offered for rale without a plain state ment on the label of tho packago showing the character of tho preser vative and the amount employed. In tho same category with preserva tives, though not open to the same serious objection, aro the coloring matters which arc often used in foods. The butter which is commonly found upon our market is colored with a coal tar dye. Canned peas and. beans have the green color of the vegetables pre served by copper. Preserved meats and sausages aro made to imitate in eolor the fresh products from whioh they have been made by artificial coloring matters. I would not assort that all coloring matters in food pro ducts be forbidden by law, but the law should require in each caso a state ment on tho paakage showing the character of the coloring matter and the amount of it in the produot. The meeting hold at Pendleton on Saturday last for the purpose of push ing forward the propriety and neces sity of building a home for our gallant old Confederate Veterans, is very gratifying. Anderson, Pickens and ! Coonee Counties were represented and thc entire spirit of the occasion indi cated the strongest possible desire that tho matter should be taken up by the Legislature at tho next session and an appropriation made, whioh would be a credit to the patriotism of the State. These old Veterans are rapidly passing away, and it is a slur upon thc State that we arc making no effortin their behalf, not so much, even, as to keep them from the poor house. The small amount which would fall as a charge on the taxpayers of thc State to meet the appropriation made would scarcely be enough to remind them that they had been patriotic and instru mental in saving thc State from a burning shame. This matter should not lag, but be taken up at once. Already Anderson County has one old Veteran in the poorhouse, and wc tell it to the people with feelings of deep mortification. The orator of the day at Pendleton Saturday last was Capt. T. J. Mauldin, of Pickens, introduced by thc chairman,.Col. J. C. Stribling. Ile nfhde an eloquent and impressive speech. Col. Richard W. Simpson followed in his characteristic style and offered the following resolutions: "Whereas, the surviving Confederate " Veterans are rapidly passing away and soon we shall know them no more for ever, and whereas, many of these old soldiers are decrepit and poor and unable to earn a support by reason of disabilities, the result of their magnifi cent defence of their country during four years that has made the name of 'Confederate soldier' forever famous. These, if not provided for, will be compelled to pass the remainder of their days in the county poor house. Therefore, bo it Resolved, "That we, the ?U?zen? ?I Anderson, Pickens and Oconce Coun ties, this day here assembled, sympa thizing with these old and indigent veterans of our Lost Cause do respect fully and earnestly petition the Gen eral Assembly rf South Carolina to provide a home for these brave and worthy men in which they may spend thc remainder of their days, honored and cared for by a grateful peuple. "Resohml fnrtfar, That we request our members to bring the matter to the attention of thc Legislature at the next session, and also request tho other counties of thc State to unite with us and secure thc speedy accom plishment of this laudable purpose." These resolutions were seconded by Gen. M. L. Bonham, of Anderson, who made one of his elegant and elo quent speeches, which always team with patriotism when on the theme of the "Lost Cause." We sincerely trust this matter will be taken up by thc next Legislature, aud that wo will soon see thc erection of this home begun. What Henry W. Grady ac complished by individual effort in our sister State, eau surely be accomplish ed here by the combined effort of our patriotic men and women. Comparing the GOVUTUUJULII'D in come for the fiscal year just ended with that ended four years ago, says the New York Herald, there was an increase of $ 10.500.000 in mis cellaneous receipts, $02,250,000 in crease in receipts from customs and $150,000,000 increase from internal revenue. High and continued wai taxes, with the consuming power of the people increased by several years of prosperity, gave thc Treasury dur ing the year just coded the record breaking income of $570,000,000, be sides $6,500,000 received trom the Pa cific railroads. Expenditures increas ed $22,000,000, reaching $510,000,000, a record which, with the exception of the Spanish war year was never equal ed since thc Civil War. Despite this extravagance, thc income exceeded tho regular . . utgo by $75,000,000. Tho re duction in revenue taxes which went into effect on July 1 is calculated to cut about $40,000,000 off the receipt? for the year now begun, but the end of tho Chinese campaign and the with drawal of troops from the Philippines may offset this and make the surplus for the new year as large as over. There should bo a further reduction of taxes, whon Congress meets, fer a surplus of even $30,000,000 is an in centive to extravagance and corrup tion, in addition to which tho with draw! of these large sums from circu lation constantly disturbs the money markets and compels the Treasury to resort to clumsy and wasteful meth ods to get the money out again . Holland's Store. Children's day was celebrated at Cross Hoads church last Saturday. Hon. J. B. Leverett, the Superinten dent of the Sunday School, presided and stated tho object of the meeting and introduced the little spoakers. The exercises in the forenoon con sisted of speeches and recitations by the little boys and girls of the Sunday School. The whole program waa ex ceedingly well gotten np and reflected credit on the managers, the church and the community. In the afternoon Kev. I. W. Wingo and Mr. Martin, a young lawyer of Anderson, addressed the audience, the former in 1 interest of Furman University and the Greenville Female College and tho latter on edu cation and consecration. Both of the gentlemen made tine impressions on the people The singing was led by Prof. J. T. Milford, and was not by any means the least enjoyable part of the program. Helen Earle, the live-year old daugh ter of Mrs. J. B. Cooley, died last Thursday and was buried at the Pres byterian cemetery at Anderson Friday. Tho little ono was afflicted with scarlet fever and other complications. We note with pleasure tho improvement of the other children in the same tinn ily. . Prof. Locke, who is instructing n, class in music at Ilubauiab, will wind up with a concert aext Thursday night ut tho church. Those not connected with the school will he charged ten cents admittance. Quite a number of our people at tended the Hartwell camp meeting last Sunday and report a large crowd and n pleasant time. Tho Bible Institute will bo held nt Shiloh next Saturday and Sunday and the meeting will doubtless continue for some days. Mrs. Josie Dobbins, of Royston, Ga., is with her sister, Mrs. Holland, for a few weeks. Miss Essie Caudle, of Anderson, is spending this week with friends in this neighborhood. Crops are needing rain. Since writing the above wo have had lino rains and evoryboody is feeling better. BURKE. - From France and uot America comes tho latest novelty in insurance, says a London correspondent Up to the present the Yankees have led the way in innovations, and many of them have boon grafted on to English and French systems, but so far no Ameri can company has been bold enough to insure a candidate for parliamen tary honors against risk of failure at the polls. A French company, how ever, has undertaken this work. - A woman of New Britain, Conn , who is a Christian Scientist, maintains, that mosquitoes havo brains and rea soning powers, that it is "outrageous* to kill the "little harmless insects," and that a!! that, is secesssr? i* to reason wiih them. She says: "If a mosquito is troubling you junt speak to him kindly and say, 'Look here, my friend, you leave me alone and I'll leave you alone.' Then belie vb that he won't bite you! Even if be docs his sting won't hurt. I have done this for years und now enjoy having the pretty little things around and listen to their musical buzz."* UI'NKKAL NR WS. - Hans Jenen, a Dane, recently ap- | pcared before thc Judge of the Dis trict Court held in Garnet, Kan., to bc naturalized. At thc close of the usual examination thc Judge asked the applicant: "Hans, are you satis fied with the general conditions in this country? Does this Government suit you entirely?" "Yas, yas," answer eu Hans, "only I would like to see moro rain." "You may be sworn," said tho Judge. "I perceive you al ready have thc Kansas idea." - "Blind Tom,'" the negro pianist, who has so dropped out of hearing that many have supposed him dead, has now reappeared in concert. Tom is now 52 years old, and is still men tally the child he was when his ex traordinary imitative faculty was first manifested. Since 1882 he has been under the most punctilious care, in asylums and sanitariums, and his cus tody has been a shuttlecock between one and another attorney. Tho pres ent guardian is Albert Lerche. - When asked tho other day if bc would bo a candidate for the Presiden tial nomination m 11)01 William J. Bryan said: "I have said repeatedly that 1 am a candidate for no office. However, I would not enter into a bond never lo become a candidate. lt would bc foolish in any man to announce his candidacy for such an office at such a time, and it strikes mc as a foolish question to bo continu ally put to me by the newspaper men." - Says a Little Rock. Arkansas, dispatch to the Memphis Scimitar: A detective arrived a few days ago in the Kings River neighborhood. Madison county, and placed under arrest a sup posed young woman, who had been teaching a private school in the neigh borhood for sometime. It turned out that the school teacher was a man in disguise, and that his name was Sears and that he was wanted in Texas on the charge of a murder committed io Texas seven years ago. Lt is said that he was a most engaging person. No one has ever suspected the decep tion. When arrested ho had $3,000 in cash in his possession, carried in a belt. - People about Deepwood, in Neva da, are wondering how long the body of Louis Dorsey, which is now exposed under glass in the cemetery, will re tain its lifelike freshness. "Dorsey's tomb" is now one of the sights there. The tomb, out from Carthage gran ite, is about ten feet long, five feet wide and five feet high. In its centre thc coffin is incased around by twelve inches of solid stone, which makes it air-tight. On tho top is a revolving stone, cut in the shape of a Bible, whioh in turning can be made to re veal or conceal a glass pane. Through the glass pane the embalmed body of Dorsey is plainly visible. The widow, who designed the tomb, used the in surance money on his life to carry out the work. Up to the present time the body preserves the freshness of life. - For the first time in South Caro lina, perhaps, a person has been kill ed, by tho most modern of vehieles, the locomobile, before whioh oven the trolley oars lose all terrors. The ac cident happened last week, and Miss Miles, a maiden lady 70 years of age, was the viotim. The elderly lady had started across the street just behind the Elmwood orossing, when she heard the danging of a bell. Supposing it to be a trolley, she ran until across the track. She thea perceived it to be a locomobile, and becoming con fused she, instead of standing still, attempted to run aoross the narrow roadway in front of it. Mr. Miller, who was steering the maohine, turned quickly out of the way. but not be fore Miss Miles had collided with the rear wheel. Tho hub struck her on the hip, throwing her violently to the ground.- Columbia State. Notice of Final Settlement. THE ttUG?iaign??. Exeealors of tba Estate of G. W.
