S PKOPIUKTOIW* ONE YEAH, - - - ? - 81 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, NOV. 13, 1901. .With a postoflice money-order busi ness of ?1,000,000 a day "Uncle .Sam" lost by mispaymsnt only sl74 last year. Not a bad record for a busy man. - - ? - Thc several State and city elections throughout the country on Tuesday 5th inst., passed off without unusual excitement, and thc results so far as the returns show are about as expect ed, except in the city of Now York, where Low and his co-republican fusionists administered a knock ont blow to Tammany. In most ol' the Stator a light vote was polled. In the United States Circuit Court in Charleston a few days ago Ju'lge Simouton handed down a decision rc fusing to set aside thc non-suit in thc famous Moore-l'arker cotton future case. This is the case in which it was recently determined that brokers cannot collect for advances on margin to ?li?ntd under thc law of South Caroliru. The (.Jeorgia House of Repr?sen t?es has passed a Dispensary Rill by a vote of 95 to 45. Rut unlike the South Carolina lawmakers who made the Dispensary law, the Georgia Representatives recognize thc rights of tho people and, in the bill, pro vision is made for each County to holdan election to determine whether or not prohibition, a dispensary or saloon shall be established. According to the final census re port there are 39,059,242 males in the population of the United States and 117,244,145 females, showing an excess of 1,815,097 males. This disparity is doubtless due to the greater number of male than female immigrants, which disturbs the natural balance of tho birth rate. The fact that in America there are not girls enough to go 'round is disquieting. i- ? mm - Capt. J. A. Mooney died suddenly at his home in Greenville last Satur day evening of heart failure, aod the announcement caused much corrow among his friends in Anderson. He was about 43 years of age, and leaves a wife and four children. Capt. Mooney was regarded as one of the leading criminal lawyers in tho State, and his praotioe brought him to An derson at nearly every term of our Court. He was a most genial, clover hearted gentleman, and made a friend of every acquaintance. Almost every day we see evidences of the widening sphere of woman':' in dustrial and professional activity. Women by the thousand are engaged now in many occupations from whioh they were excluded only a few years ago. Their success and usefulness in almost every line they have attempted is fast beating down the remnants of feudal prejudice against the employ ment of women, is enlarging the gen eral estimate of woman's capabilities and helping on the causo of equal compensation for women who do an much work and as good work as men and yet receive less for it. The report of tho treasurer of tho United States shows that tho net or dinary revenues for tho fiscal year ended June 30 were $587,(385.337. an increase of $20,444,485 over the pre vious fiscal year, and the receipts for that year were the highest up to date. There was an increase in every source of income, hut it was largest in inter nal revenue. The total expenditures for tho last fiscal year were $590,965, 352, an amount which has been ex ceeded only four times, in 1803, 18G4 und 18G5 and in 1S99 on account of expenses inourred in thc war with Spain and that in thc Philippines. The surplus, outside of the $150,000, 000 gold reserve, amounted on June 30 to $77,717,984. Thc surplus is now averaging $46,000,000 and wili proba bly be carried to $150,000,000 by tho end of the present fiscal year. This immense and increasing surplus is as much an evidence of unnecessary and therefore unjust taxation as it is of the country's prosperity. It is a pow erful argument for a reduction of taxes. _ We have just received a copy, of the latest edition of The Newspaper Blue Book, published annually by the United States Press Clipping Bureau. Th??O. Wiese, manager, Chi cago, 111. This little book constitutes an elite directory of tho newspapers of the United States, and serves thc needs and desires of men in a multi tude of pursuits. The best weekly newspaper in each State and "Terri tory, determined upon careful com parison of Press Clippings, is named, and in South Carolina THE INTELLI / OENCER bears that honor, which is ' certainly appreciated by its proprie tors. The Albany (N. Y.) Journal, in speaking of this Blue Book, says: "'Newspapers wilie ll are listed as the I best iti their territory ?ti the News- j paper Bluo Book can res! assured thai , they are not victims of flattery. Thc Bureau judges newspaper* from the ntuouut, variety and quality of the , matter which it linds in them, year in j and year out, and lists them strictly ; according to their merits.

The farmers of this sect inn arc about through picking cotton a tu tl aro very busily engaged in gathering thcircom and sowing oats, and in a few more days will be sowing wheat. Our farm.' ers arc talking ot sowing moro grain this fall, which is certainly a good idea, for wc say abandon so much cotton raising and make your living at home. Prof. Barton, of Fair Play, S. C., commenced his school at Hopewell to day. We feel sure the people will bo well pleased with him, as he is a thor ough Christ ian gentleman and an ex cellent teacher.

Hopewell was well represented at Lebanon Sunday afternoon at the exer cises of Children's Uay. It was quito a treat to hear Kev. J. I). Chapman's eloquent lecture. Several of our young people will at tend thc pound party at Mr. Ben Ash ley's to-night. Air. John .Jolly, who is merchandising at this place, has a graphophone at his store, which is very amusing to thc youngsters. Mr. Josh Pruitt, abusinessyonng man of Anderson, was tho guest of his lath er, Mr. J. W. Pruitt, Sunday. Mr. J. B. Gentry left last Saturday for Lickville, where he will be in charge of a school at that place. Mr. L. W. Jones and Mrs. J. II. Lench visited relatives nt Belton last week.
