The Columbia State very truly re marks that until men of honor and in telligence arc drawn un juries verdicts expressing ignorance and revealing dishonor may be expected. The National l>emoeratic Conven tion convener in St. Louis to day, and its proceedings will be watched with great iutercst throughout this whole country. Thc friends of .Judge Parker claim 504 votes for him on the first ballot. Electric railroads, comparatively a new thing, are capitalized it is stated, at twice as much as the bonded debt of the United States, carry billions of passengers a year and paid ?1U,000, 000 taxes in 1003. A new idea makes i rapid headway in these times. Thc Macon (Ga.) Telegraph very truly says that Judge Alton B. Parker evidently belongs to that high class of ?tfttestneo, raze in these days, that believe that the high office of Presi dent of the greatest nation on earth is ;\ position neither to be nought nor to be avoided. Because he has hot gone out with a brass band and a few bar rels o? ibobey lb search of that high fitatibb, blowing hot and saying things to bc caught out on, a pack is on his track hoping to flush him. -m . - ? The Bill providing the 124 addition al scholarships for Clemson College, which passed the last session of tho Legislature, went into effect on the 1st inst. Tho law will reBult in a large number of new students et the college, although according io a ruling of the Attorney General, it will not be absolutely necessary for the scholar ship to go to a student in the fresh man class. Tho examinations are held on July 8. Inventor Tro-nno A. Edison hab tackled tho problem, "Why do not men go to church?" He thinks it is largely because husbands have to stay at home Sunday mornings and mind the babies whilo their wives go to church. To meet the situation Mr. Edison has devised a system of check ing babies in tho churoh basement, pretty much aB parcels are oheoked io a railway depot. Under this system, Mr. Ediuon says, both husband and wives can attend the services. e Japanese are a "cooky" little jv .pie, as the English say, and in the event that they whip the Russians they may perhaps be pardoned if they develop a somewhat aggravated oase of the "swelled head." Certainly they havo reason for assuming some superiority over the Russians to whom 4l% AW S nvTAvi *f>1 *? n?\*%1?* iVa tawm ''Kov W ?-? *->J ?ftJVW**WajT *? i' 1' * J % V ?VI*. M* WOT* barians." They have proven that their sailors can maneuver and fight and that their soldiers can fight and maneuver-a demonstration moro or less lacking in the Russians. If it is true that the department of agriculture has discovered an effec tive enemy of the cotton boll weevil, it is the most important work that the department has accomplished since its organisation, for it was becoming evi dent that the spread o? the weevil would eventually destroy the whole cotton growing industry. The depart ment claims to have found a species of ant in Guatemala which preys upon the weevil and has made it possible to grow cotton in that country. The ant has been brought to Texas, and the department will spare no expense in fully testing the efficiency of it. A prominent cotton goods maufac tnrer of Germany visited Columbus, Ga., recently for the purpose of studying the ootton mill industry of the South. Foreign manufacturers are at lest realizing the formidable rivalry they are bound to meet in the rapidly developing industries of the South, and we msy reasonably look for a large influx of capital and labor from Europe to the South, for for eigners, by acquainting themselves with the possibilities and natural facilities for establishing a variety of manufactures in the South, are bound to come; with capital and labor, aod plant important manufactories aod develop new fields of industry here. It is established beyond doubt, says Harper's Weekly, that during the Nineteenth Century there was in all the civilized nations of the world sn important lengthening of the average life, and that this improvement is especially characteristic of the last half of the century. It is also clear that the improvement is limited al most wholly to the earlier half of life -that is to say, there has been an im mense diminution of infant mortality, a large decrease of the rate of mortal ity among children and youth, and, on the wholo in general, an increase in the mortality of advanced If fe, most particularly among males older than ."?."). Thus all these influences, while saving life, tot*', especially Lo save lives which ap.' feeble in a great er proportion than those which arc strong, and thus in the cod must low er the vitality of the great mass of the population. Corner Creek Comments. To day is "Fourth of July"-a na tional holiday-and yet the. majority ot our people are busy with their work amid the hot sunshine. Owing to tho continued rains our farmers aro some what behind with their work, and, of course, aro too busy to celebrate the Kinnons fourth this year, although quite a number are off to Pelzer taking in the many attractions that character* ize Bitch occasions at that place. The prospects for a good croji th is year is rather encouraging to the fann ers at this time of the year. IfseaHotis will only continue for ti)?' next sixty days a largo yield will he harvested tili? fall. Miss .May Madden, of Madden*, Laurens County, is visiting friends ?ti our midst this week. Miss May luau many i ' lends here who are delighted tose? 1er pleas mt taco in our laid st again, she having taught tin; McAdams school here several years ago. Miss Julia Gray, of Anderson, spent a few days last week here the gnc?t of her friend, MissModena Higby. MIHS Lizzie (inssaway io in attcmb ance at the Normal School at Auder. SOD th!? week, and Minn Ont, Higby js, attending at Abbeville. Kev. E. C. Shirley and Mr. McC'ar ter, of Abbeville, visite;! lit the homo ot' J. N. Shirley last week. On last Saturday morning a lol ly crowd of our young folks boarded n rcntfon and bended the course towards Ware Shoals, on Saluda river, anti af ter a long journey ot fifteen miles TO reached there at 10 o'clock to lind an other party from Broadmouth tneje and severn 1 from other points. A most pleasant time was spent on the banks of the river, seeing the marjy sights which are to be seen at thia point OQ the river, as a big cotton mill is nenri ng completion, A large, dam has aireadv been conBtructed, along C&uS? dit&m and a power house soon to be erected. Our crowd enjoyed the day fl?c Sn so cia! amuhement 'till late in the even- ! i ni,', when we bid the rugged sboale farewell and started for home, reach ing there tired and sleepy and highly pleased with the day just spent. An abundance of fruit is getting ripe, and we expect to be eating tva? tertnelons in a few days. After a few weeks more of toil we xviii be resting mid feasting on the many good things that only farmers fully enjoy. Our health is about as usual. Some few are on the sick list. Tjro. July 4. The Revenue Taxes. The internal revenue taxes paid in this State for the f.scal year ending July 1 amounted to nearly $700,000, an increase ot over $140,000 over lastycar. As the government taxes paid indicate ia a measure the prosperity of a State this will go to show that the State has enjoyed a wave that ranks ber high tvtieu compared with the incomes of other States from these source?. Con trary to the general opinion only a , small amount of this money comes from the dispensary. That institution ia round tigures pays only a little over $3,000 for tho licenses which m us the ?Bsued before the dispensaries cac do business. The income is derived from cigars, tobacco (manufactured), and manu factured spirits. There are also spe cial taxes on retail and wholesale liquor dealers, oleomargarine and malt deal ers. The largest revenue, of course, comes from the distilleries scattered over the State, the tax on manufac tured liquors being $1.10 per gallon and the income from the Kicbland dis tillery being about $700 per day when running. There is also a large sum paid in by tb Swift and Armour, neo ple for oleo- . rgarine, and the rest of the money com CH in from the cigar peo ple and the tobacco manufacturers. The internal revenue department ia the only brauch of the government that makes money, the expeness in this State for instance, averaging some thing like $30,000 per year, while the rest of the money is a surplus to? pay tue other expenses of the government. A comparison of the tigures, ?bo%yiug the money received i?r Lue past three years will give an idea of the prosneri-' ty in the State, these tigures al-ways being taken ns a basia of estimate. - For the year ending July 1, liKte, the income was $458,000; for the year end ing July 1, 1003, the receipts amounted to $010,800, while the year ending yes terday, as stated above, will show about $750,000. lt must be borne in mind that the Spanish war tax waa not taken off until July, 1803, and it was thought that these figures wer? re markable.-Columbia Record. Condition of Cotton. The New York Journal of Commerce of yesterday published its monthly re port on the condition ot the growing cotton crop, based on replies from more than 1,300 correspondente. The reports indicate an average condition of 83.2, which is a raise of 3.4 pointe during the month of June, and raakes the condition 8.8 points better than reported by the same correspondants a year ago. The average date of tho re plies is June 23rd. Thia report, says the Journal of Commerce, gives a lower condition bot the returns are publish ed exactly as received. Tessa shows a rise of 5 points, which, considering the size and imm Jase acreage ol the crop in that State, the most important feature of the reports, is the unusually high condition ot 83, compared with 78 last year and 77 and 70 tne years pre ceding the high per centagea. In Georgia and Alabama 81 and 8:2, re spectively, are also significant. These three States, it may be noted, produce more than half the crop. North Caro bou during the month shows an in crease of 4 and Sooth Carolina an in crease of 5 pointa from last month, to 85 and 82, respectively. Georgia is 4 points higher; Alabama and Texas each 5 points higher. Misaissippi und Arkansas are each 2 points bi?fior, the two last standing 85 and 80 respective ly, and Missouri has improved lOpoints, to 90. Florida's condition shows no change for the month from 82, -while Tennessee, at 80, is but one point high Mr. The territories, on the other .hand, ihow a poorer condition than a month igo, Oklahoma having declined 8 >oints to 87, and the Indian Territory I points, to 70.
