Th'li M S ; ONE YEAH, --- - SI 50 SIX MONTHS, - - - ~r> WEDNESDAY, NOV. iy04, Tha war in which elie is now en gaged costs Japan only a half million dollar- a day. while it is Haid lo cost Russia a million and a half a day. In this case, it i*- easy to sec that Rus sia isn't gelling anythiiifr like her money's worth. The revenue bond scrip case, in volving the validity of about $1,H0U, 000 worth of South Carolina eerip held by a citizen of New York, is again be lore the United States Courts. Some years ago in Fairfield County the scrip was tendered in payment of taxe- and turned down, the property being after ward sold. .Iu<]ge Siniouton, on hear ing thc ease, decided that tho scrip was invalid. An appeal was taken nnd the case will come up in the I'ni ted States Supreme Court during thc lat ter part of this month. - - o m Wc have received a copy of a ueal and interesting folder, issued by the ?and and industrial department of the Southern Railway setting forth the wonderful resources of South Caro lina. Wide circulation will be given to the folder with a view of attract ing capital and residents to this State. The Southern Road is giving consider able attention to industrial and agri cultural pursuits in South Carolina. The work is in charge of M. V. Rich ards, the land and industrial cgent of the road, and he has a large force of assistants under him, who give their entire time in traveling through the State gathering facts and figures of their resources, tho financial condi tion of the State and thc splendid op portunities offered to capitalists and to settlers. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier says any wide awake city or town that wants a de sirable manufacturing plant, may do well to get in touch with this inquiry that has been received by Cora>uiis eioner Watson : "One of our clients, now owning fine silk mills, desires to establish ono or more mills in thc South. The very great demand for silk requires that new mills be located ?t the earliest possible moment. We have propositions from points in North Carolina, but before a personal rep r?sentatives is sent to investigate wc would like to know of any opportuni ties in your region." Anderson would be a fine location for such a plant, and we suggest that our Chamber of Com merce make some inquiry in reference to the matter. _ The Florenco Times of tho 3rd inst, says : "The Anderson Intelligenoer has been makin" 9. specialty for some time, of runt ? personal reminis cences of veterans in tho Civil war, a most interesting collection of articles. The Intelligencer ought to have been printing these stories as pages of a book to bo bound hereafter. It would make a fine volume and a valuable addition to our history in this State. We urge our good brother Langston not to allow ouch an opportunity to bo loat." There is no doubt that the articles would make a most valuable and interesting book, but it is impos sible for us to print them in that form. The stories are on reoord in the files of The Intelligencer, and perhaps io tho futuro some person may publish them in book form. A few days ago in one of our daily exohanges we read three telegrams from three correspondents ID differ ent towns giving accounts of children being oither killed or seriously wound ed by carelessly handling loaded pis* tols or guns. There are many people ?ho thoughtlessly leave loaded fire arms about where there are children ribo know little about their use. Boys are notoriously curious, and anything in the shape of a gun or a pistol has an irresistible attraction for them. They cannot resist the desire to han dle deadly weapons, and when they fall in their hands th rough the care lessness of their eiders, a Uagedy cot seldom results, and parents have often to mourn the deaths of the little ones they love on account of an acoident that might have been prevented by a little preoaution. The leaving of a charged ri Se behind tho door cr a re volver in an open bureau drawer is in? excusable and has led up to more than one death, not only among the youth ful, but even among adults, as the reoords of casualties in the daily press abundantly prove. - Mrs. Ike McGee and her ten* year-old son of Athens Ga., were both murdered. They were found with their throats out. A half brother of Mr. McGee has been arrested under suspicion, but it is thought by some to have been done by negroes. - The sheriff of Montgomery, Md., cn Priiay raided the Chevy Chase club and confiscated several hundred dollars worth of liquors. The club is made up of well known society people in Washington, including members of the diplomatie 00'ps the Supreme Court and Congress. ROOSEVEJ CARRIES ALL THE ] MC XT CONGRESS Lt Ah Returns from thu national election [ held throughout the country jester day show that Roosevelt lias beet* chosen President by an overwhelming majority. There is little io thc r*. to encourage I'emucrats as they Jo every State in thc I'uion except t1 < oi the solid South. The New World estimates that lloosevc* y get 325 electoral votes and Parke lal. The result in New Vork State was surprising, thc Republicans car rying the State by large majorities for both State and National tickets. So far the returns indicate that thc doubtful States have gone Republi can. Congress will be Republican by a majority <jf orin?te. The Demo crat- had confidently hoped that the House would be Democratic even if thc presidential ticket were defeated. Of thc doubtful States, those in which the hardest light was made, the Republicans carry New York, New .Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, Dela ware, Montana and West Virginia, with thc vote in Maryland and Ken tucky close and still in doubt. Mis souri will probably give a safe Demo cratic majority, though the vote in that State will bo ? lose. William L. Douglass, the Demo cratic nominee for governor of Massa chusetts, is tin; only Democrat elected chief executive of a Northern States. All the States of thc South remain solidly Democratic, and almost with out exception send solid Democratic delegations to Congress. Later election returns show no change in the figures already given. Roosevelt and Kai. banks have been elected by a larger majority than Mc Kinley received. They seem to have carried every doubtful State. The Republicans carry thc Stales of California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan sas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New .Jersey, New York, North l>akota, Ohio, Oregon, Penn LT WINS!

His ma jorities in all the Northum and West ern States are lar^e. In the city a light vote was polled? For presidential electors the Demo crats received ?W.) votes, and the Re publicans IO. For Congress Aiken, Democrat, received [>'.',"> and Scott. Republican, ll. l'or Governor and Stat?' officers the vote was 312. AU the constitutional amendments were carried, the vote being as follows: Iticnnial sessions, yes l?t), no. 121; Hoad law, yes, 140, no, H."); Green ville bonded indebtedness, yes, 100, no, Kif. No returns were received last night from thc county, but indi cations point to a linht vote, probably not exceeding 20f>0. Thc election passed off quietly, no disturbances of any kind having been reported. The vote throughout the State will perhaps be a little larger than usual in the fall elections. Parker's major ity will be over 40,600. The reports, j which are slow coming in, indicate that all th? proposed amendments to the constitution are carried. There was increased activity among the ne gro voters io the lower part of the State. In Greenville County Speegle, the Democratic nominee for County Su pervisor, was defeated by Walker, the present incumbent, by a vote of '2 to 1. In Cherokee County there has been a lively campaign for several weeks past on tho (juesticn of doing away with the dispensary, and the matter was settled at the polls yesterday, when thc prohibitionists won a bij; victory, thc vote being about 1 to 1 against thc dispensary. - Announcement.

I the Why Kittens Change Their Religion ! A boy offered to sell kittens to a noted Methodist minister on the ground that they were Methodist kitlens. He would not buy, and afterwards, while in company with a Baptist minister, the same boy was trying* to sell them as Baptist kittens. ''Are not these the uame kittens you offered as Methodist kittens ?" "Yes, but they have since had their eyes opened." JUDGING from the crowds that swarm in at THE BEE HIVE, pasting right by other Stores who claim to sell ch ea peat, looks like most of the people around here must have had their eyes opened.
