If you do not go to the St. Louis Fair you may be too old to enjoy them when the next one comes along. Tho world's fair busine??^i?tako a much needed re?t after thiB. _- mm ? - - There will bo a great many changes ia the personnel of the General As eeinbly for the next two years. In the recent p:imary elections a number of new senators and representatives were nominated and thc lower house will bc almost an entirely new body. mm m m" - The Columbia State says a number of Orangeburg sportsmen have united in a pledge to report violators of the game laws in that community. It is apian worthy of emulation in a State where the law against the killing of game during the "CIOBC" Heason is everywhere violated. The Republican organs are boast ing that "wheat at $1.10 a bushel will make the farmers solid for Roosevelt and prosperity." "If," asks the New York World, "the president sent wheat rust and other contributary causes to a short crop he in also re sponsible for the prospect of dear bread. And the bread-eaters greatly outnumber the wheat-growers in this country." - i ?a o - - Daisies instead of rioewerc used for throwing after the bride and groom at a wedding this summer. Flowers are much more appropriate than rice for this purpose. Besides, when they are used there is no wicked waBte of the foundation of good puddings. The groom, after he has returned from his honeymoon, would appreciate thc rice, neatly done up in paper bags and stored on the pantry shel ven. Arboriculture, a magazine publish ed by the International Society of Arboriculture, advisee farmers to plant treen not for sentiment, but for the profit there is in them. It says : "There is no danger of our planting too much timber, and the farmers who begin now and plant a fair pro portion of their landa in such timber as is in constant demand at high prices, will in due timo reap their re ward, and it will come when they begin to feel like retiring from ardu ous labor of farm life." Col. R. C. Logan died at his home in Kingstree on Monday, 12th inst, at the sge of 72 years. He was a gen tleman of tho old school and was well known throughout Hw State. For many years he waa editor and pro prietor ot the Kingo'rco Record, tad . (or s number of years iras the solicit' "ing ag?nt in this State for the News and Courier. Col. Logan was the youngest member of th?famous Seces sion Convention, and bue death leaves bttt three survivors of that convec tion : Col. II. A. Thompson, of Wal halla, Dr. J. H. Carlisle, of Spartan burg, and Col. Jas. Daniel Pope, of Columbia. .-,- mm . ^mmmm Considerable comment in a good na tured way is being made on the faet that Judge Alton B. Parker has red hair. His hair is not of the flaming red color, hut it is red enough for its owner to be called red-headed. Judge Parker, when be is inaugurated as president will have the consolation of knowing that at least one of his pre decessors had hair of tibia color. That pr?sident waa Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the Domooratio party. Some think that this ie a ooinoidenoe that augurs well for partysuooess during the election now approaching. They say that the first president given by the Demooratio party to tho United States was red-headed, and that the nomination of a man with that oolor of hair means that he is to be elected. Good roads are again being agitated throughout the oountry, and we are glad of it, for the subject should never pass out of the minds of the people. Anderson County is far ahead of many other counties in the condition of her roads, but there is still room for improvement in every section of the county, ?nd we should strive to improve them every year. (Jood roads are as necessary to the p3ople of a commonwealth as are good houses. If tho arteries are the life oz the body, its highways are the life cf a State. Remove itt: noan s of inter course With the out?ide world and any community would become insular in all the manifold meanings of the word. Improve them, and so make material, intellectual and social breadth. Of what use are schools, (Churches and other institutions, whioh stand for the symbols of enlightenment if they are not accessible? Good roads are the cords which bind toge th ? er the mental, material and social life or the,.1 oountry side. Without them prosperity languishes, advance ment halts, and the hardships of prim itive conditions maia narrow the environments of the people. The increased valu?' of property which they ? touch; thc acceleration ol' business and trades of all kinds, the facilities for expansion un all linee; these and countless other benefits prove good roads outweigh any possible j?lea that Plight be urged against them. Latest War News. The Jape have gotten very busy in the region around Mukden lately. Fort Ai thur still gives ??eat trouble, but the Jans have several annies in the held and they aro trying to take Muk den, the great center ot Russian activ ity in the east. If they control tb ls point they have the whole of Manchu ria and Korea ready to drop like a ripe pear into their hauds. From this point the next will be Harbin, which is the junction of the road to Vladivos tok and the gateway to the whole of eastern Siberia. The Kussiuns do not seem able to stand before the Japs, the armies sent out to oppose them are slowly, but surely, forced back with greatslaughter. How much longer Port Arthur can hold ort 's mere guess work, tho Japs have sat'ijiid the defenses so that but few hoJd out now against them, but Fort Arthur is a wonderful fortress and its siege will be one of the greatest in history. If the forts are undermined, or if tho garrison within the city take panic because of the reported under mining, the siege rr:!' be shortened. The guns of the Japanese aro al ready thundering around the walls of Mukden and are endeavoring to cut ott' Kuropatkin's retreat and destroy his army. Russia is pushing men to the front as fast as possible, but the cold weather is making the little rail road through Siberia almos* useless. In a short tune no moro troops can be transported except in such handfuls as to be only a sop for the JapB. Some reports say that there is the greatest distress in Fort Arthur and others that the garrison and people are doing well and prepared to withstand a very long siege. One .report says that tho garrison has been reduced to 8,000 and that boys of 1?J yearn are pressed into the hospital service, that fresh meat has been exhausted and the papers suppressed. The world ia expecting two great battles any day, another assault on Pert Arthur and one on Mukden. London, Sept. 19.-A dispatch from Tokio to a newe agency says: "A strong Russian force made a sortie from Port Arthnr on the afternoon of September 18 and attacked the Itezshan fort which waa recently captured by the Japanese. The lighting lasted some hours and the Russians eventual ly were repulsed with heavy loss. Annual Coavealiea of the W. C. T.
