James A. Hoyt, which occurred ia ??reeuvilio Friday afternoon, in a distinct loss to the State. He was a good and useful citizen, faithful in every public ser vice, able and active in every good cause, courageous in difficulties, and yet moderate and conservative iu al! things. He rendered his State fine service on thc field of battle, in the trying times of reconstruction, and through a long life as a journalist consistently taught all that was best and noblest iu building uj> an ideal citizenship. Greenwood has the sympathy of the entire State in thc heavy loss sus tained by fire last werk. Half the business portion of the city was burn ed, but her thrifty and progressive citizens havj gone to work with un daunted spirits tu build better and stronger than before. Greenwood has the right kind ol' pluck and enterprise, and the effects of the disaster will be only temporary. The lire department was powerless for a time to combat thc fire on account of inadequate water pressure, and herein Greenwood as well as other towns can learn a valu able lesson._ At the request of thc Comptroller General Assistant Attorney General Townsend has given an opinion on the dog tax law which was passed at the last session of the Legislature and which provides for a tax of fifty cents on each dog. The law cannot bo en* forced this year for the reason that the act waB not approved until Febru ary 25 and did not take effect until March 16, at which time the period within which property must be return ed had expired. It has been known for some time that the capitation tax upon dogs could not be enforcod, but many County Auditors desired infor mation on the subject, and the attor ney general was asked to give an opin ion. The State Democratic Executive Committee met in Columbia Thursday for tho purpose of selecting nominees for presidential electors. Other ques tions were discussed, but no changes were made in the party rules. The committee put itself on record as favor ing the abolition of the County to County canvass in any caso where candidates for State offices have no opposition. A resolution was adopt ed, declaring it to be tf.t opinion of the committee that who. .andidates have no opposition Congressional Dis trict meetings would meet all the re quirements of the primary system. This opinion was expressed, but no aotion was taken changing the party ruleB n this particular. The campaign will begin on tho 21st of June, and the committee will make out the itiner ary this week. Presidential electors wore chosen as follows : Electors at large, T. J. Cunningham, of Chester and George Johnstone, of Newberry. M. P. Howell, of Colleton,B. W. Crouch, of Saluda, H. H. Watkins, of Ander son, W. T. Jeter, of Union, W. M. Shannon, of Camden, Olin Sawyer, of Georgi terrs, and A. W. Summers, of Oraageburg, from the seven Congress ional Districts. Twenty-four States and two Terri tories have held their Democratic Con ventions, and 557 delegates to the St. Louis Convention have beea chosen. Resolutions of positive instruction have been adopted in twelve of these Stoteo; in thirteen there have been co instructions; in one, Florida, there is a divided delegation selected under the primary system. Four States, with a total of 146 -, otes, have instruct ed for Judge Parker. Six States, with a total of 77 votes, have instruct ed for Hearst. Massachusetts gives her 32 votes to Olney, while Wiscon sin instruots for Wall. The unin structed, delegates number 272, all of whom are opposed to the Bryan and Hearst interests, and the reaffirmation of. the Kansas City platform. The unit rule has been adopted in all the States that have acted. It is gratify ing to know that the party is no longer menaced by the Hearst boom. In the light of this condition many party leaders of prominence are contending that no instructions are necessary to oheck Bryan aud Hearst in their effort to control the convention. Parker has a long lead over the other candi dates, and his nomination seems prob- j able. Buta "dark horse" may after' all carry off the nomination, the chances favoring Gorman, Gray, or Mayor McClellan, of New York. If Cleveland would only allow his name to be used it is believed that the nomination might be tendered bim, and in that event thc chancos for the success of . the ^ ticket in November could hot be brighter. - If men received everything they pray-;for they would soon become tco lazy to get out of each other's way. In his book on ''The Truth About thc Trusts" Mr. ?John Moody gives some interesting facts and figures, ile d< lines a trust as a combination formed "with the intent, power. ?-r tendency to monopolize business, to restrain or iuterferc with competitive trade, or to lix, iufluence, or increase the price of commodities." Accord ing to Mr. Moody there are four hun dred and forty trusts, with an aggre gate floating capital of $20,379,102, 511. There arc sever? big industrial trusts, controlling the commodities of sugar, steel, tobacco, smelting, cof fee, oil and linseed oil. They have outstanding stocks and bonds t'? the amount of $?2,002,752,000. All have been chartered under the liberal laws of New Jersey since I8!.?S, except the Sugar Trust. These seven have ab sorbed 1,50U separate plants. The market value of their securities is ??=400,000,000 less than par. Thc capitalization of the steam rail i ad trusts is $,Ji:i!l7l3<j?Sl'J?7. These have '.'? per cent of the railroad mile age of thc I'nited States, ?iud SO per cent of its entire railroad capitaliza tion representing l u.lt) railroad com panies. Thc electric light, electric railway, ga*, telephone and telegraph combinations have taken the places of 1 ,;?I?*"> original companies, with an ag gregate capitalization of $3,735,450,071. There are besides these great trusts nearly three hundred smaller ones with a total capitalization of $4,055, 030,433. The study of trusts as given in this book is an exceedingly timely and intereating one. Of the 31b in dustrial trusts, 170 arc chartered under the laws of Now Jersey. Thc trust issue ought to be paramount in the national campaign this year,and the Demociats should make the most of it. - m 0> m The National Editorial Association concluded its sessions in St. Louis last week. Among the addresses was a characteristic one by Henry Wat terson, of the Louisville Courier-Jour nal, on the "Editorial Page." Dis interestedness being the soul, and good humor the "solar syBtem of the editorial page," he lays down a num ber of Bound precepts. "Write of a mac nothing you would not say to his face, and might say in the hearing cf decent people. Avoid equally inti mation and intimidation, making no suggestion you are not prepared to re { luce to assertion and to sustain with proof. Satire should be kept within the bounds of the probable; wit under the restraints of sense; and even in vective shorn of adjeotive and adverb, and stripped to the waist should strike out from the shoulder to hit only above the belt." The Nashville Kennion. The Reunion Committee sends the Southern Press the good news that all arrangements are perfeoted for enter taining the United Confederate Vete rans at Nashville, June 14-16. The Camps of Veterans, the Sons of Veterans, and the three Chapters of the Daughters of the Confederacy arc working in harmony with the busineti organizations of Nashville to furnish an entertainment as nearly faultless as possible. The only variation from former rules of entertainment is that of giv ing the "old soldiers" preferenoe. This aotion will be approved by every loyal, beautiful woman who cornea to do them honor- While sponsors and their maids of honor will be entertain ed by their Department, Diviaion, and Brigade Commanders, provision is be ing made for many of them in the homes of our best people, so the oom mittee is confident of as perfeotly de lighted a reunion as has ever been held. The orator of the occasion will be Rev. S. Meium, of Washington, D. C., who served in the Army of Nor thern Virginia, a most loyal Confed erate and very eloquent speaker. It is earnestly requested and urged that all Camps report promptly to Secretary L. R. Eastman the number of Veterans for whom free entertain ment is to be supplied. Remember the dates-June 14-16. The low rate of ono cent per mile eaoh way, plus 25 cents, with extension privilege of several weeks upon the payment of 50 cents for the deposit and oars of ticket by the railroad agents, baa been given.

Seneca, May 30.--The ooroner has just been summoned to the northwest ern part of the county td hold an in quest over the body of Marvin Dud 800. Dudson was shot in the breast and instantly killed by Lee Zigler. It is said that Dodson was at the home of Zigler, drinking, and was ordered off by Zigler several times, and refused to go. This is all that can be learned up to this hour. This is the fifth murder case that will come up for trial for the fall term of court and the fourth that Las been committed in thia county in the last four weeks. -The average man seems to thinXii his duty toihelp the Lord punish sin ners. irill Kill The Hull Weevil. Washington, May ll.-Tho depart ment ot* agriculture to day announced that au ant has been found in Guate mala that is an effective enemy of the boll weevil. It will be immediately introduced iuto the cotton States. The greatest significance is attached to the discovery, which was made by O. F. Gook, the botanist in charge of tropical agricultural investigations of the bureau of jdant industry. Cabled instructions have been sent to him to report immediately to the department what assistance he needs in the way of men and money. During a trip in Centrai America last year Mr. Cook discovered a cot ton, grown hy Indians, which gave evi dence of being immune from the at tacks of thc boll weevil, aud on orders from the department bc later began investigation in certain points in Guatemala aud Mexico. Mr. Cook's investigations have been in more or less accessible regions in the pro vince of Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala. Thc weevils are pre-cut there, but thc investigations show that they are unquestionably kept iu check by the presence of an active enemy in the shape of a large reddish brown ant, which is attracted to the cottou by the food which it secures from sets of ilor^.l nectaries. Mr. Cook's investigations show that these ants spread themselves over fields of cotton four or five to a plant, and that they are constantly engaged in the destruction of tho boll weevil. Mr. Cook reports that the adroit \and business like way in which the weevil i& disposed of seems to prove beyond question that the ant is, by structure and by instinot, specially equipped for th3 work of destruction, and is in short, the true' explanation of the fact that cotton is successfully cultiva ted by the Indians of Alta Vera Paz, in spite of the presence of the boll weevil, - Occasionally men die of thirst, but more often they drink themselves to death.
