Intelligencer. Published every Wednesday. J. F. ?L1KKSCAI.K8, I EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, ? FlCOl'KIETORS. ONE YEAR, $l 50 SIX MONTHS, - - - 73 .VEDNESDAY, DEC. 1, 1901. Congressional debates on the issues of reciprocity and tariff revision will furui.-h additional proof that Democ racy has always been right in oppos ing the high protective tariff. Congressman Livingston, of Geor gia, thinks there is going to be a mon key and parrot time in the Republican party. President Roosevelt is going to run up against the leaders. Eighteen thousand Americans have emigrated to Canada during the past year. As an offset, however, about 100,000 Canadians have s- ttled in this country. Man for man, the Canadians showed the better sense. <ien. Chalice has made a new mili tary deal in the Philippines by which ha says he hopes to cud the war. That is the first official admission that the war was still goiug on that has been made in many months. The Spartanburg Journal is of the opinion that the up country should gather itself together and elect some body to office next year, and the Journal is right. At the proper time the people must make the effort. The cotton crop of the South as es timated by a New York concern is 8,547,473 bales against 10,474,031 last year. The estimate for South Caro lina is put at 588,108 against 780,782 last year. If these figures are correct it seems that tho price ought to ad vance to at least ten cents. Tho South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition oponcd iu Charleston last Mouday most auspi ciously. Governor McSwecney and Mayor Smyth delivered the addresses of welcome, and Senator Depew was the orator of the day. The opening of the Exposition marks an important epoch iu the history of South Carolina, and it is the duty of every true Caro linian to lend his aid in every way possible to make it a great success. i - ?? ? mm The editor of tho Ramberg Herald is certainly on the right lino when he says: "It ia time for newspapers iu this State to quit having hysterics over lynchings. Just so long us negroes commit outrages on Southern white women just so long will lynch ings continue. Tho lynching in An derson county this week has been made the subjcot of several editorials, but it docs no good, so why waste the space. Wo are not in sympathy with lynch law, but wo see no good to come oPour shooting off our mouth about it." Within the next fow months the government will print a brief, detail ed history of American journalism, tracing its progress from tho estab lishment of the first uewspsper, print ed iu this country, down to the pres ent day. It has taken tho author, Mr. Ralph N. McKensic, over three years to secure the data and make the research necessary to complete this work. The progress of journalism iu the United States lias been vapid and comprehensive, spreading to all parts of the country so that now every city of any consequence has its newspaper plant. It is said that Ohio is not the only Northern State in which there are communities from which all negroes have been banished and their returu prohibited. Such things have been reported from Illinois and Indiana, and when negroes^re thus driven out of the North theirsafe and sure refuge is always in their native South, where they have full assurance of consider ate treatment as long as they will work and are well behaved. And the South is amazingly tolerant of the idle and vicious uegrocs. This is true notwithstanding the swift aud terrible punishment so often administered to offenders of this class. Rev. W. R. Richardson, D. D., a former pastor of St. John's M. E. Church in this city, has been elected by the Conference to succeed Rev. John (). Willson, 1). I)., as editor of the Southern Christian Advocate. This action, no doubt, was a surprise to the Methodists of South Carolina. l>r. Willson has ably edited the J</ vocatd for seven years, and his breth ren of both the religious aud secular press of tlio State will regret to see him leave their ranks. Dr. Richard sou, huwever, is an able man. wields a fluent pen, and will keep the Advocate up to its former high standard. Wo wcleoiucnbeo to our ranks, brother Richardson, and may the seeds sown by your pen result in a rich harvest. Some interesting figures arc set forth in the report of the Postmaster Gyaeral showing tho volume of busi ness carried on during tho past fiscal year. While the national population has increased only 2 per cent, tho vol ume of postal business has increased 9 percent. Altogether the receipts 6f the department for the year aggregate the sum nf ?111,031,11?. Usually the receipts fall short of the expendi ture by something like $8,000,000 per annurn, hut this year, in spite of in creased operations caused by the ex tension of the 1'rce delivery postal system and other improvements, tho shortage amounts to only $;?,?)li.'3,727, the total expenditures being $115,531, ? m The Washington Post is thoroughly in favor of the proposed plan of the national government giving more aid to the State military forces and says in this connection: "This country will not abandon its custom of relying mainly upon volunteers to fight its battles. We sh-11 have rro large standing army. In the future, as in the past, the citizen soldier must be the nation's chief dependence. We are building a strong navy. Shall we have an army iti rcscr.c?an army on the farms, in the mills, mines, shops, counting-rooms, and colleges? That is the question which Congress must decide. Will the fifty-seventh Con gress join the procession of its fifty six predecessors that have gone into the past, leaving this great obligation to 'provide for the common defense' undischarged V" Friendship Items. Quite a time has elapsed since we sent anything from this section, but wo will attempt to give you a tow dots. Tho fanners are very busy sowing small grain, and some are done picking cotton. Tho health of this section is very good atpresent. Master Ola Foster and little sister, Ella, of Pcndleton, visited their grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. ?. Wilson, re cently. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Orr and sweet lit tle son, Frnnk, visited in thin section recently. M Ks Lucindn Martin is visiting her sister,; Mrs. W. A. Harris, at Green ville. Mr. A. Mullikin has completed his residence near Benvcrdnm and will move to it in a few weeks. He will he greatly missed in this community. School opened at this place last Mon day under tho management of Miss Kuth Rush, of Williamston. Mr. und Mrs. John Hopkins and two children, of Seneca, visited the family of Mr. .J. M. Hammond recently. Mr. Walter Gaillard made ntiipto Georgia last week. Mr. Luther Owen and wife visited relatives at Piedmont recently. News is scarce.
