OLK NEW UOVEIINOK. Governor-elect lleyward took the oath oi o?ice Wednesday last at mid day and is now the Governor of South Carolina. The inaugural ceremonies, despite the unfavorable weather, brought together many prominent and representative visitors from all over the State. The large and handsome hall of the House of representatives, where the inaugural took piacc, wan crowded, both in the gallery and down stairs, to a point whore there was scarcely standing room. The cere monies were impressive and impos ing. Having subscribed to the oath of office Governor Iicyward began the delivery of his address and was listen ed to with marked attention. For forty minutes ho spoke to the General Assembly and the people at large, and kept them entertained. Ho touched upon all tho leading questions and evidenced a familiarity with and sound judgment upon them that was gratifying to his hearers, and renewed confidence in his ability as chief exe cutive of the State. On matters of agriculture, industrial development, trusts and combines, education of tho masses in common schools, and the liberal support of higher institutions of learning, the enactment of laws pro viding for the drainage of our swamp lands, in keeping with the constitu tional amendment voted in 11)00, the enforcement of the dispensary law. the child labor question, on all his address was forceful, sound and con servative. He favors the enactment of a child labor law, believing it to be in keeping with the civilization of the age,and that the conditions existing in the working of children is a menace to the future of the State, but counsels careful consideration of conflicting in terests, lie suggests full and gener ous discussion, which he believes will reveal that tnesc apparently diverse interests have much in common, lie favors 4 gradual prohibition, believing that any radical or sudden change would work hardships upon tho in terests of all concerned. In tho dis cussions to bo had on this question he points out the necessity of keeping in mind the educational advantages of those children not to bo affected by the proposed law, and suggests tho establishment of night sohools, if pos sible, so as to afford opportunities to those who are iu earnest in their de sire to receive an education. Governor Howard takes the reins of government of the commonwealth at a time when conditions point to prosperity and advancement. No racial problems are to bo solved and factional lines have been obliterated. Ho has tho entire confidence of the people from the mountains to tho sea board, and The Intelligenoer believes there is in him all the firmness, hon esty of purpose, sound judgment and pure patriotism necessary to a faithful administration. In every section of the State there are signs of progress and prosperity but none show brighter prospects than we have at home. Homer A. Ilichey, ono of tho pub lishers of the Piokens Sentinel, died at his home in Pickens last Thursday morning, after a brief illness, aged 28 years. He was a young man of many noblo virtues, and most highly esteem ed by a wide circle of friends. Tho business men of Anderson havo jnst passed through a year of prosper ity the like of which has not been experienced hero before in many years. We should start out with the deter mination to make the present year the greatest in the history of Anderson. ? ?- m - Maj. A. II. White, of Kock Hill, President of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, and Col. Thomas W. Holloway, of Pomaria, Newberry county, Secretary of tho same organization, both died on Tues- ! day, 20th inst. They were fine types of the citizenship of the State, and will be greatly missed. In his inaugural address Gov. Hey ward pointed out the fact that ac cording to reports of Superintendents of Education, for several years past, more negro children than white chil dren are enrolled in the publio sohools in this State. This faet has a bear ing upon the future whioh is appalling to those who tLink. With President lloosevelt inviting negro men and negro women to receptions at the White House, and South Carolinians allowing the negroes to outstrip them in the matter of educating their chil dren, and that, too, at the expense of the whites, it looks like the approach of an aga of social equality which will bid defiance to all laws, written and unwritten in prohibition of iuisccge nation. liooscvell no doubt realizes ere ti i-* that the appointment of m.-i ' - to offices in tl South i< a bad business. The leading newspap rsaud magazines of the North are shouting hot hot at the President with a vengeance. The population of the United States is (rrowin^ much more rapidly than is generally known. 'J'hc: coining of home-si k?:r> from all countries of the Kastern Hemisphere has reached such proportions that with these people alone, seven eities with a population equal to that-of Atlanta could be form ed every year. 10very day of the year brings to this eouutry 2,000 im migrants, who come to make this their home permanently. This may repre sent a vast amount of European op pression, or it may not, but be that as it may, there is pride in the thought that these people hope to find more comforts and more libert> for themselves and their children under the American Hag. One remarkable fact connected with the large influx i#f foreigners is that they so soon be come assimulated with our people in their habits and customs. So true is this that were it not for the strange names thc> bear it would be difficult to pick them out from among those who have always lived under the the American flag. The increase in immigration during 11102 exceeded that of l'JOl by 110,000 and it is quite likely that this annual increase will continue for some years to come, be cauBO this country offers tho best of inducement in every department that brings wealth coupled with a liberty that is capable of lifting the poorest of these immigrants to the highest positions their intellects entitle them to. If to this stream of immigration amounting to nearly 750,000 each year, is added the natural increase bp birth throughout the United States some idea of the rapid increase in popula tion can be arrived at. To Teachers of the Public Schools. County Superintendent of Education Nicholson lias received a circular letter from the State Superintendent of Kd ucation calling attention to the fact that the time of jiolding examination for teachers desiring to tench in the publie schools has been changed. Tho regular time for holding the next ex amination is in February. The follow ing regulations have, however, been adopted by the State Hoard of Educa tion oil this subject: First. That after February begin ning in May. 1 !K>:t, (hero shall bo two county examinations for (cachera1 cer tificate*) each your, tu be hehl in May and September, and that hereafter no teacher shall bo employed in the public schools of this State who has not regis tered his certificate in the office of tho county superintendent of education and submitted proof thereof to tho board of trusteeseniploving him. Second. That after July 1. 11)03, the teaching of Latin in tho public schools shall be forbidden except that Latin may be taught by tenchora holding from the State Hoard of Education n special certificate of qualification to tench Latin, and that examination -on this subject shall bo offered hereafter beginning Jnly 1, 1003, college diplo mas not to be exempt from this exami nation. New Mills in Six Months. The Wool and Cotton Reporter's semi-annual statement of textile mill construction, shows that during the last six months of 1002 new textile en terprises were "begun or proposed" to tbo number of 108, as compared with 2.77, for the tirst half of the year?a de crease- of 00 mills; and a decrease of 4 as compared with the last half of 1001. Of the 108 new mills for tho last six months, 01 were in tho North and 107 in tho South. Of tho total of 45o for tho year, 1002, 183 were in the North and 272 were in the South. Pennsylvania leads all tho other States in the number of new mills for the last half-year, with '2(1 to her credit, of winch 0 are woollen. 13 knit goods and "miscellaneous,'' (silk); South Carolina is next with 28 mills, of which 20 nro cotton and 3 knit goods. North North Carolina is third, 22 mills, of which 14 are cotton, 7 knit goods and 1 miscellaneous. Then follow: Virginia, 10 mills; New York nnd Georgia, 13 each; New Jer sey, 10; Massachusetts, 0; Texas, 8: Mississippi. 7; Rhode Island nnd Cnna da, 0 each; Tennessee, 5; Mnino and Maryland, 4 each: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut. Kentucky and Wiscon sin, 3 each; Indiana and New Hamp shire, 2 each; California, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon ami Washington, 1 each. As regards "cotton mills'' alone, it will bo noted, South Carolina easily leadB all the list, with 00 per cent more now enterprises of that character than North Carolina, its nearest competitor. Two Men l?tten by a Mule. Kdgcfield, S,C, Jan. 25?Mr. A. S. Rhoden and Marcellus Reynolds, cit izens of Johnson, were recently bitten by a mule, said to have had hydropho bia. These gentlemen immediately went to Hcliner, (Ja., and had the fa mous Georgia niadstone applied. As soon ss the application was made tho stone took immediate effect, which is generally accepted as full proof that the anisssl inflicting the wound was a victim of hydrophobia and people have absolute confidence in the effioaoy and ouring qualities of the madstone, a number of them having tried it with satisfactory results. Tho mule that b't these gentlemen was brought here for treatment and developed a genuine case of bydrophohia. ? It costs more to support one vice than ten virtues. ? Some people are in mighty poor company when alone. ? Mary Willis, wife of Henry Wil lis, a well known colored drayman of (irec.nville, died very suddenly Wed nesday afternoon at her home on Oscar street, in that city, us tho result of a severe fright. Two negroes wero fighting in front of her home at tho time, and the attempt of ono of them to cut the other, gave the woman such a shock that she fell and expired I in a short time. Ol K COMJMWA LE?TKR. (' ?i i mi*.i \, .1 w. .* ;. !'.'').;. Thorn has hern little accomplished by the Legislature this week- after j two weeks of the session the assembly in just Kitting down to wink and there is yet a day of elections before the members. Elections have to 1?; got (nit of the way before the Legislature can do any real wark. 'Micro have been several interrup tions this week. Monday being Lee's birthday, was a legal holiday and the Legislature made a trip to Kock Hill to visit Winthrop College. Tuesday the elections for Chief Justice and Superintendent of Penitentiary were held, Associate Justice V. J. Pope being chosen Chief Jsutico without opposition and Cnpt. D. .J. Griffith being re-elected Superintendent of tho Penitentiary unanimously. The fol lowing Directors of penitentiary were also re-elected: Dr. M. <>. Rowland. Spartanburg, John G. Mobloy, Fair held, and A. K. Sanders, Suinter. Wednesday was taken up with the ceremonies incident to the inaugura tion of Gov. Heyward and the intro duction into ollico of the other new officials. The exercises were elaborate and a large assemblage attended. Very little business, and that of small impor tance, was transacted by either house that day. Thursday tho Sonnte was in session hardly half an hour and the House only ten minutes, from which it m plain again that nothing was done. Friday was the day set aside for memorial exercises in honor of Gen. Wade Hampton, the oration being delivered by th" late general's war lieutenant an. senatorial colleague, Gen. M. C. Butler. These exercises again drew a large crowd to the capi tol, tho exercises being held in the hall of the House of Representatives. Be sides Gen. Butler? oration, Senator Robert Aldrich delivered a tine tribute to Hampton in presenting resolutions which had been prepared by Col. Leroy F. Voumans, who was llamp ton'H Attorney General. The chief paragraph of interest in these resolu tions is this: "That his services to the State deserve to bo commemorated by a monument more enduring than brass, which shadl keep forever green the memory of the life and virtues of Wade Hampton." On this day, Friday, the Senate was in session only an hour and the House no longer. The Senate adjourned until H o'clock to-night, but the House held a session Saturday and then adjourned until noon to-day. The House on Saturday had the lirst debate of the session and it was on the same old question?the dispensary. Mr. llolmnn brought up his bill to make the county dispensaries and boards of control elective, a proposition that at once elicited discussion ending in defeat for the measure. In the course of the debate T. V. Williams, an original dispensary man, criticized the State Board of Control for their alleged at tempt to influence elections through the county boards and tho distribution of whiskey. The House sustained tho action of tho Governor in vetoing the Act pass ed last year requiring certain county auditors to do the work of the phos phate commissioner. The bill also provided for the doing away with tho office of phosphate commissioner. The vote was 7? in favor of tho bill as against M in favor of tho Governor's veto, but it required 8JI votes to nullify the veto and the bill failed. Mr. Lofton's bill to grant the federal government right nndjurisdiction over certain lands along the waterway be tween Charleston and Jl/cClellauville was the lirst bill given third reading in the House this session. A child labor bill will get n favor able report in each House. The bill by Mr. Webb, of Aiken, will be report ed favorably in the House and thnt of Senator Marshall in tho Senate. It is thought that the latter will probably pass Doth houses. The Senate has a biennial sessions bill before it and another strong fight will be made on this issue. The bill simply provides for the submission of a constitutional amendment to the people, but this requires a two-thirds vote to pass. The proposition to establish two ad ditional circuits will also be presented and will give rise to considerable de bate. Tuesday a successor will be chosen to Judge Popens Associate Justice of tho Supreme Court. The gentlemen in whose behalf the most active work is being done is C. A. Woods, of Marion, Senator Robert Aldrich, of Harnwell, S. J. Simpson, of Sparen burg, Joseph A. JI/cCullough, of Green ville, James L. Tribble, of Anderson, J. F. J. Caldwell, of Greenwood, G. Duncan Bellinger, of Barnwell, and others are also mentioned with more or less authority. At the same time nn election will be held for Code Commissioner to succeed W. II. Townsend, who has resigned to become assistant to the new nttorney general. Stobo Farrow has withdraw! from tho race, and the candidates re maining aro Wm. Elliott, Jr., of Co lumbia, Edgar C. Hayneaworth, of Sum ter, J. L. McClure, of Chester, and F. H. Dominick, of Newberry. Jas. A. Hojt, Jr. ? Tho Senato committee on military a flairs has ordered a favorablo report on the bill introduced by Senator ; Foraker appropriating from the nation al treasury for the erection of head ; stones to mark the graves of Confed i crate soldiers buried io the North. \ The amount to bo used for this pur pose was placed at $200,000 at tho ! suggestion of Secretary Root.

Dean's Patent He finds it so sticky he can't eat it ; the more he chews it the bigger it wads up in his mouth, and when he carries it back to the man he bought it from, he is told that his wife don't know how to bake good bread. This is enough to make any man mad, and say funny names, bnt there is no excuse for it He ought to have sense enough, as his wife told him, to know that there is no Flour "just as good" as DEAN'S PATENT, and he ought to buy it all the time, although he is offered something ."just as good" for 25c. a. barrel less.
