We are satisfied that It will be found that all was I done, in accordance with the law pro ;Vidin)g ,.?for the winding-up of the af fair's; of the huge whiskey shop. i-?? The Bishopville /Vindicator says Small pox is in that town and unless' the citizens heed the notice, of coun cil and all who have not been vacci nated go at once, and be vaccinated, it will spread over the whole town.

Luke .Lea, editor of the Nashville ; .Tennessean, the newspaper that Car . mack was editor of when he was as sassinated, has been elected Senator j by the Tennessee Legislature. His s election is a victory for the antUPat terson winij of the Democracy. ? ? '_' ? ? The. Democrats in Congress ought to let the dead, past bury Its dead, and press on to victory. Their voles :ln the last Congress should not count - against any member. We, believe all ? Democratic Senators and Representa tives-will do their duty when the . time comes. ' If e?ch. householder would take a pride in . making his own premises heat and attractive, and . if people would co-operate to beautify streets, parks rnd other places ^common to the. public every city would show a great improvement which,. In turn, ' would react upon the habits and life of their inhabitants. Tho Observer says "there was a man In Newberry selling the Works of Abraham Lincoln' in eight vol umes, and he said he was getting a good many orders too. The world 'do move.' Imagine a man trying to see the works of Lincoln in New berry forty years ago." Southern people ought to read the life of Abra ham Lincoln. They would be sur prised to know how kindly he felt toward them, even while' the war was gclng on. The garden city idea has taken shape in this country and within the next few years several such model cities will no doubt be built. The problem of laying out streets, plant ing trees and other matters that en ter Into the making of the "City Beautiful" is comparatively easy in a new place, but it is not so easy in cities and towns that have existed for years. Yet even in those places very much may be done with but littie cost in the way of transformation. It was expected that when the pos tal savings banks opened people of foreign birth would in large num bers put their money in the govern ment bank. But so far there is a decided disposition to hold back. Curious as that may seem there is a reason for it. As a rule immigrants, especially those from southeast and eastern Europe, have had good rea sons for being suspicious of their governments, and it takes time for that feeling to wear off even in a country where the government seeks only their welfare. By and by the prejudices will pass and the:a r.hese people will take out their money from closets, mattresses, old pots and other hiding places and deposit it where they may be assured of per fect security and a small interest on their money. Genera!' HagoocVs Memoirs. ?Many bocks relating to the "Wa.? j of Secession" have been written on ? both- sides- of that feariul- controyer-, ; sy. Hagood's Memoirs, which the author desired- should not be pub lished until about fifty years ..after the beginning of the war, is another and most valuable contribution from ?the South's point of view. It was. i written by a man well versed in the . art <of, war, who; ; in every position to which. h& was assigned by his sa heriora,. showed unusual skill as a 'tactician and military leader. For ' this reason his book will jneet with a favorable reception by-the general reading public, but more particularly by army. men. ?This book, which consists of two i manuscript; flumes, published.in one: volume", is edited by' . . Col. U. R. I Brooks, qf Columbia.. The first part deals principally with : the organiza tion of Hagood's brigade and1 the service it saw in the defence >of Char leston, and the second part, relates almost wholly to campaigns in Vir ginia and North Carolina during the last years of the war." The style in which the book is written is pleasing and its Saglish clear and .vigorous. Those who read It will find both in struction aiad-pleasure. "Wihile full of interest in other re spects, the chief value of these Me moirs will be found to consist in the critical acumen, as regards military affairs and operations, displayed by the distinguished author. The work has been carefully and conscienti ously edited by Col.. TJ. R. Brooks, than whom a more capable man could novt have , been selected. The proof sheets closely read and compared witih the original text prepared by General Hagood, were made to con form in every particular to the orig inal; and therefore the reading pub lic may rest assured that the sub ject matter of the book is precisely as General Hagood wrote it. Gen. Hagood's Mepoirs should have especial interest for many old veterans in Orangeburg county, who served under that gallant officer, .as he bears testimony to their brav ery and deeds of heroism. The book is an'octavo volume, illustrated, hav ing also many maps and plans-of bat tles, and containing 496 pages. It is bound in cloth with t>itle stamped in gold. It is sold for $3.00 per volume. Orders for the, book left at' Sims' Book Store will recefve prompt attention. It should., be bought %and .preserved by those whose gallant deeds it records. How He Sees It Now. .Mr. Carnegie is probably right when he says that most of the diffi culties between employees and em ployers have their origin in the un wise ofnc?ousness and attitude of many superintendents and foremen, ind|that they would not occur if employers and men had a better personal acquaintance with each oth er.' That, iack of personal knowledge of one. another is' one of the grea*. defects of our modern industrial sys- ) tem.' ;;'- ; : ? ' No doubt this is true, but Mr. Car- ; negie did not seem "to see it that way when he was amassing his 'm'.iuons at the expense of the lives and hap piness of his employees. In those 'lays he was on the sf.de of his fore- ? men-and superintendents, -vid fre quently employed armed de'.ertlves to make -his employees obey them. Mr. Carnegie is responsible almost directly for the death of many of his employees at the .hands of these same detectives.. This spectre w'll haunt Mr. Carnegie to' his grave. ( The old order of industrialism hatT its bad features "unquestionably but one thing in its favor, due to the much ' smaller number of men work ing In any pne factory,, was the closer intimacy between employer and man, an Intimacy which in small estab lishments was oftentimes quite broth erly. Should Not Be Collected. The Manning Timea say's " a great deal of attention has been attracted in the public prints by Representa tive Harvey W. Mitchum's bill to limit the income of Clemson College from the fertilizer tag tax to $1-75, 000 a year and to distribute the bal ance o:f that fund for the benefit of the common schools:." The Times says "this is not a bad-idea, but a better one would be to limit Clemson to $150,000 and give the balance of the growing tag t$x to a special fund to enable us to oatoh up with the year's arrearage and- put the State's business on a cash basis. It is not good business to literally throw money at Clemson College and borrow money every year to pay the Interest on the State debt. It is a pity we can't get a set of State offi cers and a legislature capable of run ning our State affairs as sanely as the officials and directors run a sound banking or manufacturing con cern, but political claptrap is the bane of South Carolina and will probably continue so for a great while to come." A better idea still would be to reduce the tag tax if too much money Is being collected undar the present rate. This tax is a class tax, and if it is not used for Clem son, which is supposed to be a farm ers' college, it should be left in the pockets of the farmers. The Technicalities of Law. The decision of icourts are not always based on equity and common sense, which is said to be a good definition of law. A short time ago the Virginia supreme court of ap peals granted a new trial to two ne groes, convicted of .murder, but declined to grant a new trial to a whUe man convicted with themi, on the identical evidence, be cause the bill of exceptions upon which the white man's appeal was based was not signed and made a part of the record either while the court was In session or within thirty [ days after its adjournment, accord ing to the rules of the court. This j case was decided on a technicality of the ilaw, with which equity and com mon sense had not a thing to do. I Fortunately, as the Columbia Record says, "there is an appeal to executive clemency to prevent the'hanging of a man upon evidence which is, in the opinion of the court, insufficient to justify the hanging of the other men. It is to he presumed that the ; court would vnot permit the ' white iman ;to hang if other avenues of re I lief were closed to him, :but the sit uation YOf the white man ;strikingiy I illustrates the extent to which ad j herence to mere forma may carry a , court." ? ?A^rWcoll One-Itu?l Cent a Worfl Foetid Notices Fret.

To strangers this is a mere state-! ment that a baby-girl has been freed; from earth's sufferings, and flown to i her heavenly home. But to the dear parents, Mr; and Mrs. Jerome Gram ling, whose home is now bereft of this bright spirit?oh! to the fond grandparents, and all who knew and loved her, what a world of sadness these few words hold! Her life, though brief, had brightened two homes, and truly all who looked into the blue depths of her luminous eyes, felt the charm of her lovely and lovable spirit. All that a faith ful physician, a trained nurse and untiring love could do, was done to relieve the suffering o? this preci ous little girl. Bronchial troubles had long been a source of distress, and when complicated with oedema of the larynx, baffled both skill and devoted love, and closed the earthly life of this beautiful child! Fairey's sweet golden head has for gotten earth's way, Asleep on its pillow of roses; Wee hands shutting close, as if tired of play, Like buds which the summer dis closes. The beautiful song of your "Birdie" i is still, And over her lips like a blossom, j The dimples lie white as the frost on j the rill, But listen! A spirit sings low to your spirit still, "He carries the lambs in His j bosom!'' When storms sweep the hills, and the night gathers deep, You'll think of your Paradise] Blossom, And you'll hear this sweet song for ] the weary that weep, "The weakest are safest, for over the steep, "He carries your lamb in His bos om!" One Who Loves Children. He who has many strings in his ?ands is sure to get his feet mixed up with some of them. The men who want to wind all the world's clocks seldom want to go to work by any of them. RY JANE AND THE BUSTER BROWN PONY PALLET.
