Intelligencer. Fublislml avery Wednesday. J. P. Cl.INKSCALEB, I EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, S PROPRIETORS. TERMS'. ONE YEAR, - - - - $1 60 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1902. The information comes from Wash ington that the appropriations by the present Congress exceed the receipts of the National government by over $50,000,000. The production of pig iron in this country Las now reached the highest point ever known. Indeed it has reaohed such proportions as would justify calling it hog iron. - i mm i mmm The Washington Post says: "If the South Carolina people elect Jim Tillman governor there will be ample justification for many of the harsh things said of that State." A young lady bas been discharged from the war department in Washing ton fer criticising the President. Free speech will soon be done away with if *he rough rider continues in office. President Roosevelt last Friday sent a special message to Congress urging reciprocity for Cuba. Ile thinks tho interests or America will be greatly subserved thereby, but many prominent members of his party differ with him. A call for meetings of negroes in all parts of the country to discuBs the necessity of emigration to Central Africa has been issued from Chatta nooga. Evidently the steamship com panies have a notion that the negroes of the South have managed to save up something during the past year or two. Col. E. H. Aull, of Newberry, pri vate secretary to the Governor, who has been spoken of as a candidate for Secretary of State, has announced that he will not make the race. Col. Aull says a State officer must have an inoome outside of his salary to live io Columbia. Professor Starr, of the University of Chicago, says the wedding ring is a mere relic of barbarism. It may be perfectly safe for Professor Starr to fire away at the wedding ring, but if he wishes to stand well with the girls he will make no attempt to abolish the engagement ring. If all the States of the Union will adopt the primary plan of South Caro lina in the election of United State? Senators there will be no need of a constitutional amendment to accom plish the purpose. A large number of States have already adopted the plan, which has proven entirely satisfactory. The Confederate Soldiers Relief Association has issued a circular in viting all Confederate soldiers who are needy and destitute to communi cate with the organization at onoe. The chairman of each county pension board and two citizens of each county will act as a committee to assist the association. mm ? mm The tremendous leap in the price of meat is a hardship on the poor people whose incomes are already taxed to the limit in order to supply the necessities for their families. In the large cities beef is now being re tailed at 35 cents per pound, and it is likely to remain about that figure for some time to eome. There is a big demand for beef cattle all over the country. The Democratic organization in Indiana has in its State platform sounded a clear cali to tho political battle of 1?02. Thc Democratic party and a majority of the American peo ple will fall in lino at that call, array ed for conflict with the tariff bred trusts and the party of tho tariff and the trusts. They must win the fight if the country is to be rescued from oppressive monopoly. The Democratic Congressional Com mittee should by all means make trusts and the tariff the paramount issue of thc approaching campaign. The campaign literature, the work of Democratic speakers and of Demo cratic newspapers, must all deal ag gressively with this issue. The Ameri can people are determined upon relief from trustism and thc tariff, and the National Democracy must lead the movement which shall terminate in victory for the people. Mrs. Virginia D. Young, of Fair fax, S. C., editor and proprietor of the Fairfax Enterprise, desires to edit a collection of sketches of "Wo men of Today iu Sout.'i Carolina," and to this end a?ks the help of her broth er editors, the members of the Federa tion of Women's Clubs, the Daugh ters of thc American Revolution and of men and women everywhere in the St:?to who would like to put upon re cord tho mit able labors, of women , among us engaged in whatever kind of work for the help of humanity. The Mouse of Representative to be elected this year will bc chosen under tho new apportionment made since the Federal census of 1UO0. There are 29 additional distriot.s, bringing up the total membership of the next House to 380, and there is some un-1 certainty as to the political cusogeo caused by the reapportionment in several of the States.
