Tho death of Col. 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.

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

agents, baa been given.

Killed In Oconee.
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.

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,
