WEDNESDAY, JAN. 13, 1904.
This will bc a lively year politically.
Everything from pr?sident dow?, you
know.
Thc United Stales patent ollicc re
ceived moro applications for patents
during 1D03 than during any previous
year. The patent attorneys are good
advertisers.
Bradstreet's reports that failures in
the United States in 1003 were .-liu-lit
ly fewer in number than in the pre
vious year, but the total liabilities
were l.*> per t'eut greater.
Peoplo allover the United States
are consoling themselves hy calling
attention to the fact that no vic?
president promoted to the presidency
bas over been elected to succeed him
self.
.Sooth Carolina has every reason to
bc proud of her record in industrial
enterprises for the past year. Some
thing over ten million dollars added
to the wealth creating power of thc
State is no small sum for a State
which does not claim to bc rich.

If you are not sending your child
to school start him at once. Don't
say you arc not able, but make overy
sacrifice possible to give your child an
education. A man or woman who uo
education whatever stands a poor
showing so far as this world is con
cerned.
Thc Gold and Silver Democrats of
Nebraska have united, which means a
unity of purpose in that State. Col.
Bryan was away from home at tho
time, and his opinion as to the crystal
ization has not yet been board, lt
is presumed he will bc satisfied, or, at
least, say nothing in the matter.
The Legislature convened yeciter
day. The most important business
that can como before it this session is
the matter of taxation, lt is a ques
tion that calls for broad-minded treat
ment, without regard to personal or
any othor interest except that of the
good of tho State, but it is to bc
doubted ^.ictber it will receive that
consideration.
Wonder if tho understanding which
the administration at Washington had
with the Panama secessionists includ
ed an agreement that the United
States should patrol tho iBthmus and
suppress revolutions within as well
as defend the State from attaoko from
without? Revolutions in Central
Anerioa have boon about as common
aa labor strikes and riots in Chicago.
TSe Democrats are more hopeful of
snoods now than over before in years.
Tho outlook is bright and they are
awake to the situation. If they will
leave off so much "nagging" and unite
?h em sei vc s on party principies and
one man as the presidential candi
date, they will have sueceHs within
their grasp. Otherwise "a house
that is divided against itself cuunot
stand."
Tho Attorney-General has complet
ed tho compilation of tho oriminul
niuuiMtics o? the State, comparing thc
number of crimes of each succeeding
yoar with the. ono provious from 1888
to and including 1003 The compari
son is not encouraging. The crime of
nrirder shows un awful reoord, there
hoing 222 cases of manslaughter re
ported for 1003. This record was ex
ceeded in 1807 when there were 225.
In 1000 there was the same number.
Senator Latimer has introduced a
bill for the improvement of tho publ-c
roads in tho United States, and ho
says that be will address the Senate
on it within the nex', len days. The
bil! is modeled after that introduced
ia the House by Mr. Brownlow, of
Tennessee, and provides for tho im
provement of roads under competent
engineers from the department of
agriculture, the States to boar one
half of thc expense ?nd government
the other half.
In tho death of Gen. John B. Gor
don, another one of thc South's great
est and grandest statcamon and pat ri
ots has ''crossed o'er the river to rest
'neath the shade of the trees." His
illness was of short duration, and his
death was quiet and peaceful [Iis

Thc Gcnciul Assembly unc?s Tues
day und everything about tin- 4,aj> i l o I
is preparing lui (Jin cession. The
Governor's message was completed
several da> s ugo and the ot lier ol'.icials
have loeentlv boon busy winding up
their annual reports, extracta from
hoon- ul which have a.ready been pub
lisln d m Hie papers.
Thens aro a number ol' bills li over
from last year which will have prece
dence on thc calendar over new meas
ures-until tho new hills aro pushed
ahead by special agreement. As this
is tho session just preceding tho bien
nial campaign! many td the moro am
bitious legislators will have acaro how
Uley conduct themselves, with a view
of making campaign material for uso
dui mg t lie summer.
Among tlie hills continued from tho
last session aro several affecting tho
fanning and cotton mill interests.
Mr. Toole cai ly in tho session intro
duced a bill to limit to ?'i hours a day
the timo of work in cot ton nulls. The
late Mr. MeMastor had introduced a
j hill to extend to imploses ol textile
mills thc lights and remedies granted
limier the constitution tn employes of
railroad corporations. Mr. Cai wile, of
Abbeville, wants more stringent regu
lations applying tn thc violation ol'
farm labor contracts. Mr. Cooper, ol'
J.amens, has a bil! to provide lor tho
recording of fal tn labor contracts and
to regulate prosecutions un contracta
so indexed. Senator Johnson's bill to
provide a penally for strikes and lock
outs has come over to thc house from
thc senate where it was passed. 'J here
aro several hills relating In thc lien
law and lo the law regulating chattel
mortgages. Mr. Webb's bill to estab
lish a State fertilizer factory is still on
the calendar.
Thero aro several hills re lating to
the dispensary and several mote may
bo reasonably expected before this
session ends-the dispensary being the
most prolific source of legislation and
debato that has (-vcr been known in
the general assembly ot South Carolina.
Another liquor bill is that introduced
by Dr. Doyle, of Seneca, and is entitled
"a bill to prevent treating on elec
tion." Mr. Pollock has on tho calen
dara bill seeking to correct features of
the dispensary law which appear un
favorable to tho interests of tho insti
tution.
SPECIAL COMMISSIONS.
There are two commissions to re
port. The commission on tho comple
tion of the State house has given no
inkling of its recommendations or
(hiding but there is the expectation of
something interesting. Senator J. ty.
Marshall, who was a member of tho
commission to repair tho capitol, has
all along contended that the work was
shoddy and iusullicient, but, he was
regularly voted down on tho commis
sion. Now a legislative commit leo
has been appointed to investigate his
charges, au expert has been culled in,
and Iiis report sustained Senator Mar
shall's position in many respects, and
now it remains to be seen what tho
result, will be. Senator Marshall's
tenacity is a quality for which ho is
famous.
Thu other important commission
whose report will be submitted was
instructed to investigate the tax sys
tem of tho .State and tin? expenditures
and to lind, it' possible, how the an
nual deficiency ol'$?00,000 can bu rem
edied. This matter is really thu most I
important that can come "before tho
general assembly, as the State is now
doing business on credit with no pres
ent prospect of ever pay'ng up.
There will certainly bo some action
for the better regulation of the judicial
system. The present number of judges
and courts cannot transact the busi
ness and the system of special judges
is proving expensive and contusing.
It is proposed to create two new cir
cuits white the county court system is
favored by Attorney General Gunter,
who has made a very intelligent and
careful study of the conditions. All
bills on these subjects were referred
last session by tho house to a commit
tee which will report it this sesoiou.
TIIK ELECTIONS.
However, none of these matters will
come up till tho elections are disposed
of. The terms of all the members of
the board of directors of the dispen
sary and of tho commissioner ure out
and there nre several vacancies also on
tue penitentiary boards; the State li
brarian is to bo chosen and other orn
ees Ulled.
?j" T t tiri il,_ _i_?._i_
MT. ?J. u. VT munns, W11U lina one.ii
chairman of the board of directors
ever since its formation and before
that time a member of the old board
of control, will not stand ? for re-elec
tion but will stand for Congress in the
second district against Congressman
Croft. Mr. H. H. Evans, of Newberry,
known na "Hub," now a member of
the board, ia a candidate for the chair
manship. No other candidate for that
particular place ia known at thia time,
though there are several out for a
place on the board. Among those aro
Kopreaontative John Hell Towill, of
Batesbnrg, Joseph Wylie, of Chester,
L. W. Hoy kin, ot ^Camdon, and there
aro likely to bo others for this job
which pava $400 a year. Gen. Wilie
Jones, of Columbia, at present a mem
ber of tho board, accepted the place on
the death of .v.r. Dukes on the under
standing that ho would not seek the
place at thia election.
Commissioner d um is not a candi
date for re-election and tho moat ac
tive aspirants for his place are Repre
sentative Tatum, of Oraugeburg and
Capt. W. D. black, now bookkeeper
at tho penitentiary and formerly a
member of the house.
The contest for State Librarian is
always interesting, inasmuch as the
place is tilled by n woman and the wo
men muko most interesting campaign -
tri.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Tho coming of the legislature always
brings a lot of political gossip to Co
lumbia and before a week has passed
it can bo pretty definitely known who
will he in tho race next summer. So
far co one is announced against Gov.
Hey ward, who will naturally seek a
second term, although there has been
some talk of Mr. M. fr. Absei, of Green
ville, who mnde the race befoie. Mr.
Ansel undoubtedly intends to run for
governor again but ho may proferto
wait until 1000.
Lieut. Gov. Jehu Ti Sloan will s?ek
re-election this year and will probably
want the higher oflice iu 1000. He
may have opposition this year.
All the other State officials, so far as
knowu. will seek reelection, and all
but Treasurer Jenniogs are serving
their linet terms, but thia fact by no
means precludes opposition.
The term of Railroad Commissioner
C. W. Garris expires and there will bo
the usual hurdle race for this comfort
able berth. Mr. Garr?s, now chairman
of t he boord, will stand for re-election,
and will be opposed by John G. Mob
ley, of Fair?efd, W. Boyd Evan?, of
Columbia, and "Cnn si er of Tirzah," all
of whom made the race last time.
Others are mentioned, among them
being ex-Lieut. Gov. Manldin, of
Greenville, now a member of the
house. J. H.
