Tho Chamber of Commerce is doing some splendid work for thc city in a quiet manner through UH officers and the committees. The industrial strides of tho South and thc wonderful increase and growth ?f its enterprises is attracting thc at tention end admiration of the civilized world. What has President Roosevelt ac complished at thc extra session that might not have been dono aB well by the regular Congress, which.convened yesterday ? _m ?? ? Some of the Republican paper." aro congratulating the country that after all the postoJEcc thieves only collared a half million dollars. But is that au even break V The information comes from Wash ington that a great political battle is now being fought between President Roosevelt and Senator llanca with unusual bitterness. It is sincerely hoped that they will keep it up for ?ho next year. Tho Baptists of South Carolina have cause to be proud and happy. Tho sum of $105,000 has been raised as an endowment to Furman Univer sity. Tho $20,000 given by Dr. Jud son brings the amount up to $125,000. This shows what energetic and en thusiastic work will do. The Boston Advertiser thinks that the faot that thero are twenty-eight senatorial contests to settle next year trill make the political year activo in Bepublioan strongholds as well as in doubtful States. The Republican party must have forty-six northern senators if it is to retain oontrol of the aenate in 1905, while the Democrats need but seventeen. Back and forth through tho coun try the cries aro sounding, "Turn tho rascals out" and "Let's seethe books." Their echoes grow rather than dimin ish. Next year, thero is every reason for believing, the demand for a change of administration will havo attained a a strength and volumo sufficient to bring it about. The Deinooratio party need not worry over "having no issue." Gov.gHeyward is being importuned to suggest to the Legislature in his annual messago that the salaries of the members of the State board of dispensary directors be increased to 91,500 per annum instead of tho pres ent sum of $400. Much influence is being brought to bear to encompass this. The Governor has not indio ?ted ?hat action he purr 868 to take in the matter. There are 20,000 moro colored than white children enrolled in the public schools of South Carolina, according to the report of Superintendent of Education Martin. Statistics from Marion oounty aro missing, and as a result the report to the general as sembly is not exaot, but as far as can be estimated the enrollment for 1903 is 286,982, there being 138,076 white and 153,816 colored. On the 2nd inot. the census bureau at Washington iouued a report on tho quantity of cotton ginned from the growth of 1903 up to and including Nov. 14, showing total commercial bales of 7,070,437. The bureau of agriculture now estimate that the present erod will aggregate 9,962,039 bales of an average weight of 490 8 pounds. As a result the prioo at once advanced to 12 cents, and it is pro dieted that it will go still higher. mm 0t am The new schedule that reoently went into effeot on the Columbia and Greenville railroad is causing great dissatisfaction, and the Chamber of Commerce and a number of business men of the oity have aent vigorous protests to the railroad officials against the new order of things. It is to be hoped that the officials will bo made to see just how badly Anderson and this section generally fare at present, ?nd either return to the old schedule or give na something better than what ne have now. The positive declaration of former j President Cleveland that he would ?ot permit himself ti be considered as a presidential candidate in the ?oming election has clarified the polit ical atmosphere to tho extent that politicians are only dieoussing the availability of two men-Senstor Ar thur Poe Gorman, of Mary hind, and Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York. From polifcioal leaders in the Weat and Sooth comes expressions that the withdrawal of Mr. Cleveland leavea . the way open for the* nomination of Gorman, while the feeling io the East is tba't Judge Parker will bo the nomi At Interesting .Meeting nt Pendleton. Mr. Editor: Tho Daughters of tho Confederacy at Pendleton held a very . interesting mooting on Tuesday, 1st * inst . Veterans liada sp?cial invitution i to hear Col. It. W. Simpson read ex- 1 tracts from tho history ho is now pro- ' pai*ing of tho reconstruction period of ' south'Carolina politics. Tho citizens, especially tho younger ones, wen) very : much interested in that part of his his- . tory that referred lo the negro doini- \ ration, backed up by toe whit? carpet- ( bagger, which stimulated and forced h .ho organizations of the Ku Klux and t finally culminated into the Ked .Shirt ? Hampton campaign of 1H7??; tho first r companies of which were organized at , Pendleton, and finally swept over the .' whole State from tho iirat Hampton J meeting at Anderson. Miss Betta Sltton and Miss Virginia ( Norris entertained tho meeting with ? some lin? iniiH?'. * This Chapter, which is presided over ? by Mrs. Dr. Watkins, is to makoita 1 point of honor to finnish a wreath of 1 Howers to adorn the gravo al every old soldier's funeral of Uns community. , Honor be to them. "Old Soldier." Broyles Briefs. J, H. Dobbins, au enterprising young farmer and business man of the lower Kork, is enlarging und remodeling his residence. Work on tho concreto piers for tho steel bridge at the now ferry is being pushed vigorously while tho river is at low rt tn go. John W.

IJ. N. Geer will remove with his family in a few day? to Pickens Court House, where ho is ?argelj, engaged in brick manufacture, l?o lias sold his farm here, which is tho most highly improved and one of the largest in the Fork, and there are many who ?viii re gret to seo him and his fumily leave. Kev. H. H. Merritt, who, by appoint ment of Presiding Elder Child, has boen in charge of the Town ville Cir cuit since tho going uway of Kev. N. L. Prince to Vanderbilt, has finished his work and gouo to tho annual con ference. Ho made a good impression during his brief term, and there are many who would to seo him returned to tho work. He is Anderson County reared, being n native of the Brushy Creek section, and belongs to a family of preachers, his elder brothers, Bevs. E. M. and A. A. Merritt being mem bers of the S. C. Conference. Stanley Earle, a colored man of sla very days, died on tho farm ot John C. Gantt a few weeks ago of dropsy, aged about 70. He was a good darkey, liv ing np to tho training of his old mas ters, and as his like die ont there are none to take their places. He waB freed as the property of Robert Hol land in the Fork and took the name of Earle. Lawrence Martin, a pushing young farmer on L. N. Geor's place, made ten h.?avy bales of cotton and other stuff accordin' with one mule this year. Kov. W. li. Hawkins hot* accepted the unanimous cull to tho pastorate of the Townville Buptist Church for next year. Dr. W. K. Sharpe has been very poorly for a week or teu days, and does not mend fast, much to the regret of many friends hero and elsewhere. A very handsome monument has been placed over tho graves of Lewis Cromer and wife at Smith Chapei by their children. Mr. Cromer came to the Fork from the Du ten Fork in New berry in 1854 und died in 1882, his wife following in 1897. Mr. Cromer was a good citizen and successful farmer, leaving a nice landed estate for his children. lt so hardens that there is not amale teacher in nil the Fork. There ia a contention in certain profession! cles that women aro Detter tea < rs than mon, and if this is true, ac: we do not gainsay it, the Fork is in luck.
