Anderson is growing more rapidly than any other city in the State in proportion to size. The thread trust made $12,1)00,000 during thc past year. The people who get the dividends probably do not lie awake nights thinking about the para ble of the rich man, thc eamel and the -?ye of the needle. Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, is announced as a can didate for governor of Georgiain 1906. Mr. Howell is a typical young South erner, .standing for the best interests of the progressive South, and Ccorgia would honor itself by making him the governor of thc State. Arbitration treaties are becoming universal. Denmark and Holland have recently concluded a treat) bind ing themselves to submit every quos lion which may arise between them, without exception, to arbitration. This plan, generally adopted by thc powers, would mean nothing less than universal peace. The negroes are killing each other at a rapid rate in this State. Nearly every one of them carries a "gun,'' and they seem to have little hesita tion about using it. For an ordinary offense calling for a blow they shoot each other to death. Everybody who reads the newspapers must have been \impressed with this fact. Thc whiten \re quite too quick on the shoot, but *b.e negroes are quicker still. Thc Philadelphia Record is right ^ ben it says temporary defeat wil^ not prevent Alton B. Parker from holding tho position to which he is entitled in the councils of the Demo cratic party.B,These people Fondly err who imagine that the great constitu tional and historic party of thc coun try is dissolved by the result of the election. Thc party has too long been used to such extreme popular manifestations lo doubt a return of the sober second thought of thc peo ple._ _ Throughout the country tho idea of tariff reform has taken a linn hold, and indications multiply that thc fight is to go to a finish. It is a cause that appeals to the people, for the reasonjtbat every day that the protec tive tariff exists in ita present shape, it gives plain evidences of its opprcs sive and unjust exactions. It is a grievous tax upon business; it is an oppression of the people in its unjust enhancement of the cost of neces sities of life. In view of the prosperous condition of the country it is probable that more people arc in possession of cash money than for many years in tho past, and it is the purpose of theso lines to warn them against carrying it on their apersons or hiding it away about tho house. Wise and prudent individuals will deposit their surplus earnings, be it much or little, in a bank, where it is absolutely safe. Should you not heed this admonition you may fall viotim of a robbor, bur glar or disastrous fire. Then you would grieve over "spilt milk." The women of South Carolina arc exceedingly anxious that a reforma tory and industrial school for juvenile offenders should bc established in this State. The Federation of Wo mens1 Clubs at its last meeting ap pointed a committee to endeavor to secure such an institution. This com mittee is trying to effect an organi zation in each county and to arouse public interest in the work. The good women deserve and should have the encouragement of our whole peo ple, and we hope their efforts will bc orowned with success. The State Board of Canvassers met in Columbia last Wednesday to tabu late the vete cast in the November election. The'total vote was a little less than half that polled in the Demo cratic primary in the summer. For State officers all the Democratic nomi nees received practically the same vote, that for Governor Heyward being 51,907. For presidential elec tors the nine Democratic nominees re oeived 52,863; the Republican can didates received but 2,554. Thone..? E. Watson, the populist presidential (Candidate, got one vote in Spartanburg County. The vote on the constitu tional amendments was as follows: For biennial sessions, yes, 25,365; no, 14,491. For municipal indebtedness, yes, 21,632; no, 11,016. Road law, Section I, yes, 26,452; no, 11,242; 8ection II, yes, 20,086; no, 12,024 The vote for Congress for the Third District was distributed among the candidates as* follows: Wyatt Aiken, Democrat, 7,659; Scott, Republican, 142; Sampson Pope, ?.

At hix i o'clock this al in noon tin? Thorn well | Orphanage Seminary building canis lit lire on tito rool from a defective ll mi and was hui md to tb?; ground. Work men bad just finished teHtiiiK a new furnace ami tim building bad been closed for tho ?lay. The lins was dis covered early but as tim town has not yet put in itu water wolks, the efforts to put out. tin- Haines were of no avail. The tire hoon reached au Ki foot tower anti it became a hugo pillar Of linnie. K Hort H wer? then diverted to the pro- . tection of (lie McCormick Home, a dor- ? m i to ry building on tho orphanage iain- . im-, ami the recitation hall ot the l'iesb\teiian College, holli ol' which j were threatened. Holli huildingri were adequately piotcclcd. The Thornweil Seminary In Or phans, which was the name ol' tho burned building, was dedicated in lHS:i hy (j o ver nur Hugh S. Thompson, ! whose death our people are now la mentiuir. The building was in process i ol construction tor eighteen months, du ing which period thu labor und oth er bills wert; promptly mut at the end j of each week, I linnell at nt? time were thu I umls in hand sufficient to pay them a week in advance. This was the main educational structure td the in stitution ami contained in addition to a large chapel some si.x class rooms. The loss is e i ir ht thousand dollars with only out) thousand dollars of in- . suranco. lt falls therefore as a heavy | blow upon an institu? ion which only a j few day? flgo hail a similar loss in the : burning of Memorial Hall, the dining j ball of tho orphanage. Help is needed | as never before. The Thornwcll Orphanage has many f rienda. The help of every one of them will be needed now. Clinton, November SB.-Mia. Nettie P. McCormick, of Chicago, 111., who baa already built in whole or in part some six humes at thu Thorn well Orphan age, on hearing of the destruction by tiru ol thu Memorial Hall, has wired to thu president of tho institution that shu will give $2.000 to rebuild thu house on condition that $2,500 moro bu raised. Mrs. .McCormick had not yet beard of thu second fire at tbo institu tion, destroying tho Orphans' Semi nary. A fuw moro contributions, therefore, will make her gift available and insuro thu erection of tho two buildings to tuku thu placu of tho two that have been destroyed. Further Report on Cotton.

In Memory of Margaret J. Erskine. On December 5, 11MW, thu cold, icy fingers of death claimed this precious ono as its victim and her soul took its flight to tho mansion upyondor. Some times w? feel depressed and lonely, but the Lord had some wise purpose to accomplish by this n(Miction, and wu must submit to His will at nil times. This lovely bud, so young abd fair, Called hence by early doom, Just came to show how sweet a Ho ww, In paradise would bloom. D. D. E. - Mr. Hanes at Orangeburg has reported to Secretary of State Gantt an interesting find in the form of a colonial bill engraving plate, whioh was ploughed up in a field at Orange burg. The plate is 3x4 inches and is well preserved. It is worth about $200. From it colonial $3?0 bills were printed. One Bide bears this in print: "This bill entitles bearer to receive thirty Spanish dollars or the value thereof in gold or silver, ac cording to a resolution of Congress passed at Philadelphia November 2, 1776." OQ the reverse side appears, "United Colonies Continental Cur rency Thirty Dollars." ? ...?M ?Ii i rv&iutiiij ??ii?^Ci s.m ! i .. Mci-<.(>. No vein her ?s.--Tho Iii-v. SMNHII I Selby .?!
