Those who can't look on the Bunny side of life these days must cither he terrible old croakers or confirmed in valids. It's not thc Bun's fault that you can't look on him. That very few eolored people co.n mit suicide is a fact shown hy statis* tics. Why? A Missouri newspaper thinks it has fathomed the secret. It savs that when a negro eits down to brood over his troubles he falls asleep and forgets all about them. Happs faculty! The monthly report of the chief of the bureau of statistics of the depart m'ut of agriculture shows tho average condition of cotton on July 25 to have been 79.7 as compared with 77.1 on Juuo 25, 1903; 81.9 on July 23, 1902, 77.2 un July 25, 1901, and a ten year average of 84.3. mn * I* ? m~, - The supreme court aud the circuit judges, sitting cn bane, have decided that railroads cannot require a passen ger, who failed to purchase a ticket, to pay twenty-five cents in excoss of the regular fare, as has been the cus tom in tho past. All that a conductor can collect under the law is three cents per mile. The encampments of tho State militia that are being held this sum mer aro reviving or creating a military spirit that is needed at this juncture. Every town or densely populated com munity should have a military com pany. Preparing for *.rar in timo of peace often prevents war. Hace riots will never ocour where an armed body of men can bo mobilized on short notice.. Immigration for the fiscal year just ended passed all previous records, nearly a million aliena having come to thu United States, most of them being the lowest ol i s s of labor from tho most undesirable parts of Europe. Of course the American manufacturer must bo protected from all .possible competition but tho Amorioan labor ing man can expect no protection from cheap labor. An exchange saj?s that a now bunco game is being worked on unwary ' merchants throughout the country. A man enters the store, displays a government badge and states that he is in the secret service and on the lookout for counterfeit money. He looks over the cash draweffand invari ably finds four or live "counterfeit dollars" which he "confiscates.11 The whole thing is a fraud. The recent elections in Texas put two-thirds of tho oountios of that State under prohibition, and the pros peats are that liquor selling will soon be prohibited throughout the State, exoept, perhaps in one or two large cities. Under local option regulations prohibition seems to be sweeping the South. Wbensver the question is voted on tho result is -.imost invari ably in favor of prohibition. A circular issued by the leaders in the Republican party in New Orleans to the white Republicans of the South calls for the abandonment of the party on the ground that the president has so identified himself with cegroism that whito men cannot belong to it. The oiroular declares that tho party has fallen into the hands of a violent reactionary, naming the president, and cites the lunch with Booker T. Washington, the Appointment of Crum .s collector at Charleston, and tho Indianapolis affair as "negrcphiiism," and concludes: "No self-respecting southern Republican can longer an?ll ate with a.party that stands for social equality""with negroes, it malters not what his views on cconomio questions are." A oiroular of instructions to inter nal, revenue officers and all others concerned has been issued by the com missioner of internal revenue, calling attention to the gross irregularities and violations of law that now exist io tho handling and sale of manufac tured tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigar ettea by jobbers and dealers. A prac tico generally prevails of exposing these taxable articles for sale separ ated from the packages bearing the stamps denoting the payment of the internal revende tax. This, it is said, is a serious violation of the law . aud regulations, which it is the purpose of the commissioner to remedy. Job bers and dealers are given until No vember 1, 1903, to get their stock on hand in order, after which date all manufactured tobacco, ?unff, cigars sod cigorct'ten found on the marVet exposed for sale not protected hy the tax-paid stumps will bo soizpd ?nd the holders proceeded sgaic?t in accord ance with luW. Over in Georgia tho Legislature is investigating lobbyism, but it is be lieved it will not amount to much. Lobbyism is a crime, it is true, but as long as there arc politics and politi cians there will be lobbyism. They go hand in baud together and have existed sinoo the days of anoient Rome. Reforms in this Hue have been tried time and time again, but what little benefits have 1 eeo accrued were only temporary. Sing Arider ion's Praise. Tho members of the .Sumter Guards, tho Washington hight Infantry, the Irish Volunteers, the German Fusiliers ngd the J'nhnetto Guard, tho compa nies of Charleston's militia that were ni tho encampment at Anderson, have been making some remarkable: state ments about the "great timo" they hud there. They can hardly lind words with which to express their sentiments with regard to Anderson people. Tho officers are also extravagant in their praise of tho thriving up-country city. Capt. II. C. Wohlers, m speaking nf flic encampment, said yesterday: "The damp was ideally located. Tho tents were well shaded by giant oaks and the parade ground was smooth and even. The behavior of tho troops was almost perfect. They obeyed orders without tho least demur und entered into the drill practico with commepda blo enthusiasm. "The people of Anderson exerted themselves and did all in their power to render us comfortable. Some of tho boys were a little sore on the treat ment they received nt tho hands of a lew of the fair maids. 1 suppose tho boys attempted to be social ami friend ly, and the tr i il B thought they were mashers, and snubbed them; after they became acquainted, though, the troops mid the girls of tho city wero on the best of terms. I thitik the encampment was a great success." Capt. Robson, of the Washington Light Infantry, said: "It is difficult to givo any expression of my opinion of the encampment without becoming lulsomo and florid. Our stay was most pleasant and profitable. Tho citizens of Anderson tried themselves and en tertained us to the queen's taste. The regulars who were with ns greatly as sisted in 'ho training of the troops. Capt. F 'S*er would take notes while the troopB were drilling and point out any weak spots that would show up. The camp was well situated, and every thing moved off' smoothly.-News and Courier, 10th inst. In speaking of the return of the Charleston companies, the Evening Post of Monday says: "At several of the armories, notably at the Irish Volunteers1 Hall, refresh ments had been prepared, and the sol diers had a good time around the ta bles. The men who did not go on the encampment were anxious to hear the experiences of the men who did, and the latter did not seem to tire of tell ing the story. There was mach to tell. The boys had a novel experience. It was the first time that they had been on n regimental encampment, they had learned a good deal of the practical side of the soldier's lifo and they had found Anderson and her people pleas ant and attractive. The soldiers hiA cat up pranks, ns they all will do, and, I of course, they had to tell about these things, as well as the dances, card par ties, affairs of the heart and other hap penings of camp. They wore unani mous m dedaring that they hadamost delightful time. The people were all hospitable and pleasant, and it was to their efforts to make the stay of the troops enjoyabl that the militiamen had such a line time.'' Lowndesville News. Rov.

Senator TiMnmu Not Lost. St. Louis, Mo.. August 7.-Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Caro lina, remained in St. Louis to-day, and while here he reported at the looal offices of various railroads and express companies the loss of a wallet filled with passen, express franks and other money-savers. It was reported that the Senator had been robbed on a train, but he denied the story at the South ern Hotel. uThey fell out of my pocket," he said, "and I did not no tice it at the time. They were not taken by a piokpoaket that I know. One of the passes I lost was over the Burlington Railroad and I guess I dropped it at Kansas eity. It was in a pocketbook that had a lot of express company franks and telegraph franks and other railroad passes, and all that kind of stuff. But I had not used the Burlington pass." Senator Tillman was asked if it was not unusual for him to accept such favors from corporations and he ro pliud: "How can I help accepting them; they stick them at me and stick then\ at me until I just have to take them. They don't influence my vote. It is different down in our country from what it is up here. Yon haven't heard of anybody being bought with thousand dollar bills down our way. havo you? It's the custom for all publio men to accept passes and most of us aro slaves to cits ?om." Senator Tillman left tonight to re sumo a lecturing tour, accompanied j by Senator Burton, of Kansas.-Spe cial to News and Courier. Ho More Appointments Will be Made. For some time Gov.

Tho ?South Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs, at if* recent conven tion in Columbia, decided to establish an exhibit of Arts and Crafts for the Eurpose of stimulating' interest in the onie industries among the women of the State. This exhibit is to be dis ?ilayed in every town where theae is a federated Club to take it in charge, and will consist of handiwork of eve~y description-laces, embroidery, basket ry, wood-carving, designs cr wpll pa per, etc., woven rugs, carpets, a u il ts m fact anything mode by the hands of a South Carolina woman. Every effort will bo made to create a demand for the wovk, and orders will be solicited. All women in the State are urged to send samples of their handiwork. lt is especially desired through this movement to reach the women of the rural districts, showing the possibili ties open to them both as wage-earn ers and home-makers along these lines -to revive if possible the old-fashioned ni t of weaving, which even in its sim pler forms is susceptible of excellent results-woven rag rugs, for example, when wrought in artistic designs and harmonious color-schemes, aro in great demand and bring high prices. No article will be accepted for this exhibit unless well made and attractive in appeal ance-exhibitors must also put a reasonable price upon their work.
