Kverybody is expecting a ?leter- i mined fight on thc dispensary at the j coming sesi?n of thc General As sembly. From all reports thc dis pensary ?-ill have to fight for its life. The Illinois Federation of Woman's clubs declares that extravagant dress es are ruinous to women. Thc federa tion might have added that they are even more ruinous to the husbands who have to pay the bills. It is not too late to seed u large acreage of wheat in South Carolina, and the more home raised wheat the South Carolina fanner has the h:?H western flour he will have to buy with his cotton money. - ? - - There are indications at present that then: will not bc enough offices, even under thc most satisfactory eon ditions of patronage, for all faithful Republicans. Maybe this is a rea son for wishing to retain the Philip pines. Thc purification of polities through the admission of women to thc suffrage proceeds apace in Colorado. Women concerned in election fraud cases crowded thc Denver Courts the other day. Several made affidavit that they had sold their votes for $f> each. An Atlanta man has petitioned thc courts to chango his name whioh is now Smith. Evidently be does not intend to run for political oihoe, and therefore will not need tho support of the numerous members of that large and influential family. Thc United States Agricultural Uureau report, which was issued last Saturday afternoon, estimates thc cot ton crop this year at 12,102,000 balcp, which is th' largest crop ever made, and SB a re Jt the market took a de cided slump. If this estimate proves correct thore will be no moro ten cent, .cotton. Evidently the hen rather than thc showy but useless eagle should be the emblem of the nation. Secretary Wilson says that tho hens lay enough eggs in a month to pay tho interest on the national debt for a year. Even the goose that laid thc golden egg oc casionally was entitled to small con sideration compared with the hens of our happy and prosperous country. The reports from the scotions where Commissioner Watson has settled im migrants seem to indicate that South Carolina is to bc very much congratu lated on thc work of this bureau, as yet in its infancy. Mr. Watson has brought in good, steady p20ple, who have gone to work with good will and seem to bc satisfied with their new homes and to become apart of its life. The State has room for many more such people, and wc hope thousands of them will come and settle among us._ With Secretary Morton asking Con gress to give the navy $114,530,638.3-1 for its expenses in thc fiscal year be ginning July 1, 1005, it is apparent that .thc licet that costs $100,000,000 a year has come to stay. This vast expenditure means that the policy of naval expansion will go on until tho American navy is second only to that of England in size, and will remain, as now, second to none in ship to ship efficiency. When all thc American war ships now building are completed the navy will bc thc third largest in the world. England and Franco will be the first and second. Regardless of what may bc thc right or wrong of the present war be tween Russia and Japan, and regard less of the fact that tEc Japaneso aro a heathen people for thc most part, tho world looks on with unfeigned ad miration as the brave Japs give evi dence over and over again of a bravery that is astonishing in its nature. Thc Japanese may lose their fight in the end, although it does not look that way now, but if they lose they will have some consolation from the faot that they have furnished the world with an example of heroism that will make it better and nobler. Congressman T. W. Hardwiok, of the Tenth Georgia District, a few days ago wrote a letter to Senator A. O. Baoon, of Georgia, asking his views on the present politioal situation. Senator Bacon replies at length. The Senator says there is an efforts to Re publioanize the South. He declares that white supremacy mast be main tained in the South and everywhere} ' that the prosperity of the South if due to white supremacy. He advo cates the repeal of tte fiftsent'i amend ment and insists that unless that sb all be done the people of the South ?rill be forced to maintain their position of white supremacy.

Large heaps of corn were shuck ed and corn and sh nek H nut away in their place heforo tii<> old-time supper hogan. Mr. Editor, wo cannot begin adequately tri tell what that supper is; tho dishes aro abundant, wann and varied. Wo had tho pleasure of at tondingtwo such occasions-Mr. Jessee Adkins und Mr. R. E. Lee's. At Mr. Loo's, last, there, were thiity neighboring guests and thu supper, supplementing tho laughing, joking, song-singing "shucking" outside, wan a novelty and-well, a delight to all who would partake or investigate. Vnindi', were hot, boiled cabbage and bacon, savory Btewed beef ehicken pica in row?, hot biscuits, butter, cot tee, pickles, rice puddings, potato, peach, pumpkin and apple pies and custards. These were good in their way and invoked in reverence the homo benediction, but the jokes that followed, in heat, abundance and irrev erence would bailie the injenuty of any brain or appetite not accustomed to furnishing corn shuckings with the prime enjoyment. As ono table full gave place to another, the satisfied guests repaired outside to the win dows, where they aided the digestion of the new participants with such wholeHomo relishes as: "That's it, give him a whole chicken at once, this is de lirst good meal he had in a year!" "Look at him now! watch his throat how it swolle." "See Tommy's hair stand on end; don't choke yourself." "Jimmie's father nearly killed himself eating just now-ho must do tho samo." "Good boy, Pete, gobble tho biscuits; push tho plato to him so ho won't have to ask.1' "Gee! I wouldn't he J (di nny's wife for a good deal and have to cook tor him." "Look out there, Jumbo, you can't swallow a chicken leg in a bite!" "Say, watch Sammy's eyoB pop out of his head there! ho's got it ?own," etc. It was a novelty ana maybe an enjoyment, but it was all there, supper and jokes, and tho shucking was don? to a turn. A. S. Howell and T. K. Dickson, of Piedmont, wo hear, investigated to. their satisfaction, and perhaps th? dignity of the newspapers, in the in terest of knowledge, would permit ulm) ike prononce of an editor at these festivals.

James is a man about GO >ears of age and heretofore a peaceable, inoffensive man. Two years ago he was sent to the asylum at Columbia and had been dis charged and returned home only about seven weeks ago. Nothing is known of the events lead ing up to the killing of his wife last night, except thatJameB had threat ened to kill his wife's mother yester day afternoon. Why this threat did not impress her son, Mr. Sid Kelley, who is a very fearless and careful man, is not known. At all events he shot his wife to death in the early part of last night and the other inmates of the house, his wife's mother and his two half-grown children, tied at once. \ Dangerous Counterfeit.
