His Lest S?rmon. Rev. J. A. Clifton, D. D , pre*ched his last sermon as Pastor oi St. Pauls on last Sunday morning to a large congregation. He referred feelingly to tbe fact that ha had served this church for four years and that the time had come when he would have to leave for a new field. He said he hbd never spent four years in the ministry any pleasanter than the four years he ha? spent in Orangeburg, and he wouid leave Orangedu-g with the kindliest feeling toward all of her citizens. At tne corclusim of Dr. OMfton's talk, I. W. Bowmin, E q , offered a resolution that toe congrega tion parted with Dr. Clifton with sincere regret and earnestly prayed that God's blessing would be upon him wherever he was sent, which was adop ed by a rising vote. The hymn "God be with you till we meet again" was suag by the congregation. I-i was a solemn hour. There was hard ly a dry eye in the congregation, so intense was the feeling. Dr. Clifton is very much beloved by his congrega tion, and as he cannot return to Orangeburg it is sincerely hoped that ne will be giv.n as good an appoint ment as he leaves here.

Cotton, unlike the Czar, is seated on a staple throne. The good old Southern monarch, despite ail efforts of speculators and market gamblers to the contrary, holds p werful sway throughout the world. Tne govern ment report of last Tuesday concern ing the present crop tends only to the support of the c ?tton market. As this crop, on account of the dry fall, has bsen completely harvested, tbe estimate this time becomes almost an j-cual statement as to the number of bales made. The report puts the number at 10,167 818. As these fig ures are considerably below the world's const m otlon of cotton tke surplus of last year can easily be taken up with out reducing the price of the staple at ail. Cotton that is being held must in the face of this report become more valuable tban it is at present and as much of the holdings is still in the hands of the farmer tbe prospects are that fiere will be good times in Dixie during the next twelve months. Bud there is more significance in this small crop of cotton tban that which attaches to the present year. With only ten million bales, as stated ? before, tbe surplus of the great 1904 crop will have to be used to meet con sukiption, and this will3tart tbe 1906 crop with a clean sheet. There will he none, or very little, residue from former crops to bear down i.s price. Taken all in all'the conditions for prosperity in tbe South are altogether 1 cheerfkl and the people have but tc use energy and judgment to grasr. success.?Charleston Post. Municipal Proclamation.

A Disrstrous Fire. 0 i last Sxturdav night the ginnery anu saw mill of Mr. R. E. E 1 wards, a prominent and successful farmer liv ing near Creston, was destroyed by an incendiary ffre. Besides the loss of the buildings there were about ninety bales of cotton burned or partially burned. It took hard work of the neighbors t) save Mr. Eiwards' dwel ling house. There Is verg little doubt but that tr>e place was set on fi.e by negroes. ? i Saturday afternoon Mrs. E 1 wards had to order a negro by the uame of Vandy Cheeseboro from the yard. Deputy Sheriff Frank Dukes went to the scene of tne fire on Mon day and arrested Vandy Cheeseboro and another negro by the name of Jas. Lewis, and Ldg> d them in jail. Lewis has admitted enough to make it certain that him and Cheese bor u set the fire. Such characters richly de serve death and we hope that if they are guilty of the crime that they whi be convicted and strung up. Mr Ed wards' loss is at least ten or tweive thousand dollars with small insurance. Failed.

AUMTOES TO MEET. Sleeting Ee Held in Columbia aid Will Be Important. Assistmant ol Property at True Alar* ket V.-.Itze of Vital Importace to tbo Eatire State. Comptroller General Jones "means business" in the step be bas taken to ward getting tbe tax tasessment of property, real as well as personal, in this state on a market value b .sis, in stead of on an uneven pretense of a 60 per cent, basis. Tbe circular lc-t ter of instructions, which he sent out last week to county auditors, assess ing boards and county iqiahzlDg boards directing that the law be strict ly observed with the beginning of the new year and that property be assess ed at its true market value, has been followed by a call for a co vention of county auditors to meet with the comptroller general for a cor-ference to decide upon a plan of action to be pursued evenly and similarily through out the state. The step which the comptroller general has taken has caused much talk throughout the state and has sat property holders to thinking. Of course, it is a sort of revolutionary measure, and while the justice and the sense of it has appeal ed to many good business men and big property holders regardless of the fact much of this sort of property will be affected, still the thing has not been generally understood, and there is a fear also that tbe purpose of tbe comptroller general to equal'ze tbe property throughout the state, more nearly will not be successful under the departure he is making on account ' of the great proficiency and skill in ' dlviduals and communities have ac quired by long practice and experience i in the matter of tax dodglrg. "The erroneous idea appears to have taken hold In various parts of ? the state," Mr. Jones said Wednesday : ''that this is a scheme to increse the taxes. Such is not the case. My ob ject is to get property equalized In this state and stop this shameful tax dodgings. There are some notorios ex ceptions, but generally speaklEg the cotton mills and other big property are being assessed on a genuine 60 per ' cent, basis, and small property is be ing assessed at from 9 to 100 per cent. Only so much money is needed to run the state and ccunty governments, and the higher the assessment tbe greater the yield of money of a given i levy, but the levy may be easily changed. In other words, if the as sessment is doubled throughout tbe state, the levie3 for state, county and 1 city purposes may ne cut in half. Tbe inequality and Id justice of the taxation of property in tnis state has been a shame,and a disgrace for de " cades. Resignation of a Teacher. i Eev. J B. Taylor, who has beeE principsl|..f the colored graded schoo ? of this city for several years, tendered ' his resignation to the board of trus tees last Tnursdsy eveniDg. The trustees accepted the resignation and gave the retiring principal an honora ble discharge. Under the manage ment of Taylor the school has growc remarkably in number and popular ity among the colored people. When he was first elected to the bead of it the attendance was a little over one hundred, but now it is over five hun dred. He did good, faithful work, and his place in the school will be hard to fill. In future he will de vote all of his time to the work of the ministry. Killed His Kather-in-Luv, Elliott Tyler shot and killed Dink Cummings. near Cameron on Mon day afcernoon. Tyler had married the daughter of Cummings. The couple did not get along yery well and they separated. The woman went baok to her father, who went with her to Tyler's house on Dr. John B/ckenbackera place near Cam eron on Monday afternoon. Then It was that tbe shooting took place, but what caused it we have not learn ed but we suppose that the men quarreled about the way Tyler treat ed his wife. Tyler surrendered to the sheriff, and is now in jail. He claims that Cummings attacked blm and he shot in self defense. All the parties concerned in the tragedy are colored. Deafness Cannot b > Cured by local applications, as they cannot reaoh tbe diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ingtfthe Eustachlan Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have a rum Wing sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely clus^d, Deafness is the result, and unless the infiamatlon can be taken out and this tube restor ed to its normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever; n*ne cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an inlhmed condition of the mucous surfte38.
