So far the Southern governors are a unit in declining to send Representa tives to the Wisconsin race-settling convention." Teach your daughter to work, urges a well known woman writer. It's good advice--for then, if she marries a no aocount man she won't have to put up with him so long. The Atlanta Constitution, in com menting upon Senator Pritohard's re tirement, shows that there are only two Republicans from the South in congress, they being Gibson and Brownlow from Tennessee. The Intelligencer has rcoeived an invitation from the Louisiana pur chase exposition to attend the dedica tion of the exposition at St. Louis in May. The invitation is handsomely engraved and is very handsome in deed. It is said that the $89,137 obtained from the national government will give the State treasury enough money to meet the appropriation bill. This does not put the State on a cash basis, however, as it is still one year behind, owing to the loss of ono year's taxes since 1876. In the Senate of the Fifty-eighth Congress there are fifteen new men. Of this number five have served in the lower house, one has seen service in the Senate before and nine are new in all respeots. Of the fifteen the most notable personage is Senator Gorman, of Maryland, who will be the minitory leader. ? ? i - According to the last statement is sued by the department of agrien .are the total of wheat, corn and oats in the bins on Morok 1 was 1,578,000, 000 bushels, left from a total produc tion of 4,180,000,000 bushels last sea son. This goes to show that unusual ly large stocks of grain are being held by the farmers. President Spencer, of the Southern Railway company, made an address at Atlanta the other day, in which he gave the young men of the South some excellent suggestions. He told of the demand for competent men to manage the great sorporatiora of the country, and urgod that more attention be given to education, which will fit men for such work, The country has been overstocked with lawyers and doctors, and there is a great demand for practical business men. The cotton mills of the Poid mont section of the State will in a few days file a petition with the Railroad Com mission asking for a further reduotion in the freight rate to cotton mills in the State. The petition, a copy of whioh we have reoeived, has been printed in a neat pamphlet form and covers forty-eight pages. It asks for a rate of freight for all cotton mills not exceeding 21 cents from any part of the State, and backs up its demand with strong and convincing arguments why ouch a rate should be granted. Gov. Hey ward has appointed the members of the Hampton monument Association whioh was provided for in an appropriation* of $10,000 at the last session of the General Assembly. They are Senators J. D. Marshall, of Richland; C. S. McCall, of Marlboro, and Representatives Altermont Moses, of Sumter, B. A. Morgan, of Green ville, and E. M. Seabrook, of Char leston. This commission will meet shortly for the purpose of ascertain ing exactly how much has been sub scribed by the people of the State for the monument. As soon as the neces sary amount is raised the State appro priation becomes available, and re ports indicate that subscriptions are coming in rapidly. Anderson County should and must oontribute a liberal sum to this fund. The Philadelphia Record remarks that there is a crying demand for legislation in Pennsylvania and in all other States of the Union on tho sub ject of desertion. The women who have been deserted by their husbands without means of support, and in most cases burdened by helpless children, are numbered by thousands. In one year 500 oases were brought to the notioe of the organised charities of Philadelphia alone, and these probably constituted only a fraotion of the whole number. Many of these suffer ers prefer to endure their lot io ai lenoo and shun the ECO dal of public ity. The remedies provided by exist ing laws aro wholly inadequate. The courts may order the recreant to pay a weekly stipend ta his abandoned wife, but suborders are habitually set at naught by the delinquent, who may go iuto biding or simply take up his residence ia another jurisdiction. Desertion ought to bo made a criminal offense, and tbo deserters of families made amenable to extradition and other processes which are effective across and beyond State boundaries. A bill to thin effect should bo enacted in every State as speedily as possible. Murder of Rev. C. W. Depew. Williamston, March H.-News reach ed here to-day of a tragedy in Memphis, Tenn., on last Thursday which result ed in the shooting to death of the Kev. C. W. Depew, a wesleyan Methodist minister and n former resident of Wil liamston. The details of the tragedy have not been learned, but from the facts as gathered it seems that the Kev. Depew discharged from his service an employee, who acted as driver about the place, and his discharge so greatly enraged the man's wife that she de termined to avenge her wrath with tho preacher's blood, and, procuring a re volver, she met Mr. Depew ana shot him dead. Mr. Depew was sent to this place two years ago by his church and filled the appointments of his denomination at PeJzor,Piedmont and Anderson church es. He was a devoutly pious gentle man and had a host of friends through out this section of the State. His only child, Mies Alberta, was a pupil in Williamston Female College for seve ral years past until last fall, when the family moved to Tennessee. Besides a daughter ho leaves a wife.

Los Angeles, Cal., March 13.-A dispatch from Tucson, Ariz., to The Herald, says: Mexican bandits held up the stage which runs between Po tain and Torin on the Yaqui river, in Sonors, last Tuesday night, killing all of tho six passengers including three women. Among them was Filiberto Alvarado, a wealthy Mexican, who owns a number of rauohes along the Yaqui river. The authorities at Guayamaa were at onoe notified. Al vorado and his wife had taken the stage from Potain to Torin and thc bandits thought he carried a largo sum1 of money with him. The hold-up took place about half way between the two towns, but just how the stage was at tacked probably never will be known, as all tho passengers and the driver were killed. They were picked up the afternoon of the tragedy and the cir cumstances give evideno that they put up a fight. It is thought by the Gua ramas authorities that the perpetra tors of the deed were some of the ban dits who have taken refuge in the mountains baok of the Yaqui river and were laying for Alverado. mw a A Destructive Tear. While the year 1902 waa a year of peace among the nations, always^ ex cepting South America, it bids fair to go down in the annals of the raoe as one that witnessed a greater destruc tion c? human life th.u has been wrought by .some long and wafting wara. To the subterranean and mys terious forcea of Mother Earth most of these calamities have been due. It is estimated that wo have to charge her nuuaual restlessness with 48,900 lives lost through volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Her tornadoes hurl ed 465 human beings out of existence and cyclones added 240 more to the Hat, while other storms in great num bers, but of ' lesa dignity in name, plaoed 720 to the direot aooount of violent winds. Floods awept 345 per sona from life, tidal waves drowned 111, and waterspouts destroyed 15. To all of this we muat add 283 lives oh arg ed to the destructive foreo of ava lanches and anowalides, and wo have a total of 51,070-an astounding mor tality from these agencies of des truo* tion io a year.-Lealile's Weekly.
