Mr. Cleveland says Bryan's talk docs not bother him any more than thc wind that blows. It will not both er thc democratic convention any more than it docs Mr. Cleveland. It is said to bc a secret rule in thc Russian army to kill all the wounded. This saves hospital expenses, and then, there will bc no needy pension ers left at thc close of hostilities to live oft" the bounty of the public treas ury. | Thc county campaign years have one thing at least to commend them. So many people, you know, seem to grow more polite and genteel. The frequent friendly hand grasps and shakes make a fellow think better of life and of his neighbors. After making a canvass of the mem bers of Congress, thc New York World declares seven-eighths of them are for Judge Parker. Democratic leaders favoring thc candidacy of .Judge Par ker now believe that his nomination is assured and that bia' friends will be in full control at the St. Louis con vention. A Paris philosopher states that wars, crimes, famines and pestilences are a blessing to t!.e world. That without them the earth would be so crowded that the fortunate ones would be walking on their lesser brother's heads. This may bo all well enough for philosophy, but it isn't very pleas ant for the ones who have to shuffle off. _ Old Hamburg, at one time the metropolis of the Savannah valley and the leading mart of Georgia and the Carolinas, but now a barren waste which is only inhabited by "coons," cooters and mosquitoes, will be for mally abandoned on Friday, 15th inst. On that date the roads and old streets, now the property of South Carolina, will be sold to tho highest bidder. Mr. J. E. Norment, the popular private Seorctary of Gov. Hey ward, and ono of thc best known newspaper men in thc State, has accepted a posi tion on the staff of TL J Columbia State. Mr. Norment was connected with Tho News and Courier for a num ber of years as a special correspondent and traveling representative, and for accuracy and fairness in all his work he had few equals. The State is for tunate in securing Mr. Norment's ser vices, and wo extend him a cordial welcome again to the ranks of journal ism._ President Mell, of Clemson, and Col. R. W. Simpson, president of tho board of trustees, have asked tho At torney General through the State Su perintendent of Education for an in terpretation of the new Aot creating 124 scholarships at the institution. The point seems to bc that Clemson does not want 124 froc scholarships at one time, especially as they would probably remain for four years. The Act gives them $100 each year and tuition. What tho Clemsou authori ties wish to know is if some of these scholarships can be taken up in 100-1 and somo in 1905. The Attorney General has not yet decided the mut ter. In a suit against the Southern Rail way in tho Court of Common Picas at Greenville recently, Mrs. Susie L. Franklin, of Newberry, S. C., was given a verdict for $25,000 damages for shock to her nervous system, the result of being insulted on the train while on her way to Atlanta by a fel low passenger. This sum, it must be ooneeded, is A big penalty for the rail road's part in this ooourrenoe, since the offender was in no way oonneoted with the railroad. The man sat with his arm around the woman's waist, aocording to her own testimony, and there was no outcry or demonstration of displeasure, and the oonductor, as he testified in the court, had no moans of knowing that the parties were not intimate acquaintances and that the conduct of tho man was objectionable to the lady, until she finally appealed to him and he promptly took action looking to her protection. The Green ville jury has established a bad pre cedent, and any sane man who will read the testimony will condemn the verdiot as an outrage on justice. Had the suit been against the individual himself, the verdiot would probably have been a just one. The Southern Railway had nothing to do with this affair, and it should not be held re sponsiele for it. If such an inoident were to happen on the streets of any eity, would the munioipal government of tho city be liable* for any damages resuliting? We think not, and we do /.not believe any sensible jury would reniera verdict against it. The de fer dant company has appealed from the verdiot, and we hope the verdict will be set aside And the company given a ne? trial before a jury com posed of sensible mon. Col. Wm. A. Turk, passenger traf lie manager ol' thc Southern Railway, died at his home in Washington, D. C., last Saturday night of pneumonia, a?tcr an illness of only three days, and thc announcement of his death was a great shock to hin many friends throughout the country Col. Turk was about 53 years of ?ge and a native of Virginia. Ile had been with thu Southern Railway for twenty-one years, having for a long period been general passenger agent before being promoted to thc position of traine manager. He was well known through out thc South, and was ever ready to lend his influence for its development and progress. lie was eminently qualified for the duties of his ollicial position, and hy his genial, social dis position mad<.' a friend ol' every ac quaintance. The growth of immigration into this country, as shown in the aunual re port of Commissioner-General Krank 1'. Sargent, shows that the total num ber of foreigners who arrived into this country from Kurope and Asia in the past year was 1)21,315, or 100,043 moro than the greatest number reported for any one year heretofore. Of this enor mous total thc Htcerage immigration is placed at 875,010 persons, or thirty two per cent, in excess of thc preced ing year. Of the numbor who came to America last year, only "'.I of them settled in South Carolina. Thc State now has a live, progressive immigra, tion commissioner in Col. E. .1. Wat son, who has recently visited New York ia thc interest of his work, and we may expect a large increase this year in thc number of immigrants who will be induced to settle ia South Carolina. Denver Dots. Our "oldest inhabitant" says this has been tho coldest winter and tho latest Bpring ho over remembered. Now nearly the middle of April (12th) and tho peach and cherry troes still in bloom. They usually bloom in Feb ruary or by the middle of jl/arch. Yet, despite the cold weather and the re cent frostR, it is asserted by many that tho fruit crop is uninjured, aud will be abundant. We know that early gar dens have been injured to some ex tent. Housewives aro very busy these duys planting gardens, setting hens and taking off early chickens. Besides other company, the-y expect to have to feed a lot of candidates, of which there Eremises to be a largo crop. Wo have cen use to entertaining them every two years for a long timo, and rather like it as a break in the monotony in averyday-lifo. It ia KO amusing tosco them petting tho children and trying to flatter their mamas. Farmers an? still hauling oil' fertili zers and preparing to plant every avail able aero m colton, notwithstanding their assertions to tho contrary. Cot ton has been king for tho past two years, but unless a kind (7) providouco interferes 1001 will produce tho "bum i per crop," and king cotton will have to abdicate and let (?neon Ceres occupy the throne. Tho small grain crop, un der the inlluenceof sunshine and show ers, is coming out wonderfully and just in timo to prevent the farmers from plowing it up and planting the ground in cotton. Mr. Will Shaw, of Auderson, was in Denver Monday doiug some surveying for J. W. Rothrock. Miss ldealla Hillhouse, of Gordon County, Ga., lias been tho guest of her uncle, A. B. Bowden, and family for sometime. The friends of Rev. W. P. Holland, of Greenville, wei o glad to seo him in Deuvor last, week, a? he was en route to the B, Y. P. I J. Convention. His stay here was only too brief to suit his friends. Madam Rumor says there will be an other man iago near Denver Hoon, but there has beon no formal announce ment. No lovelier or moro charming ladies can be found than those of this community, and any gentleman is surely fortunate who wins ono of them for a wife. Miss May McWhorter and brother visited Clemson Saturday and witness ed the baseball game botweeu Furiuan and Clemson.
