Senator Tillman has taken his seat in the Senate without protest and nas begun his work by putting in a bill to get $15,000 for-the Newberry col lege, which is due that institution by the government. , The annual meeting of the South Carolina Conference is now in session in Rock Hill, and yesterday's News and Courier with its usual enterprise presented some excellent pictures of distinguished divines. -- onias Reed, of Maine, is again speaker of the House Representatives. His rulings, while speaker before, made him notorious, and we expect to see him sit down on the few re maining Democrats every time they undertake to bob up. Judge Simontion has decided the Columbia club contempt case in favor of the club and ordered the liqnor seized to be returned, and that as soon as said liquor is returned and the costs of the suit paid, all the con stables are to be discharged. Senator Tillman and Governor Evans were the recipients of many attentions in Atlanta. Mrs. Tillman, Mrs. Evans, mother of the governor, and Miss Evans, -assisted:in the ro seption at the Governor's mansion, and the next eveningthe'same hon ors were confered upon the distin guished Carolinansiat the Tillinghast mansion. Samps Pope, one of the many of Newberry's political curios and chief of the gang, after a most unsuc cessful career as a Democrat, then as an Independent, has now spit in Ehis hands and leaped over the fence into the Republican camp; should helfail to get office from that party be4 will be .* his rows end, unless ; he con clkdt.t to go back to Texas to peddle wihsler plated spoons. Congress is again in session and all of South Carolina's representatives except Senator Irby are at their posts. It is to be hoped that with the ex perience of the last Congress some good will be done by this one. The country eertainly needs somec legisla tion that will relieve the masses; the monoplies, trusts and corporations have been looked after long enough, now the people should be given a *chance to battle for existance. The municipal election in Charles tonlis being watched with great in terest throughout the State. The regular ticket is headed by J. Adger Smyth and the independent ot what is known as the A. P. A. ticket is _headed by Win. E. Huger. Charles ton is now taking some of its own medicine and she cannot expect any sympathy from her country brethern for they have not forgotten that Char leston gave Sampson Pope a majority against J. Gary Evans the Democratic nominee. The Atlanta Journal severely criti cizes' the speeches of Senator Tillman and Governor Evans, delivered in the Auditorium on the exposition grounds last Thursday, and the cause of cofense, apparently is the remark of Governor Evans, that "the South .intended to rule this country." Thie ren.ark brought forth a most scath ing and slanderous editorial from the Journal, so bitter was it that con demnation of the editorial could be heard inevery hotel lobby. But the real -reason for the attack is not. what Gov einer Evans said, but wbat Senator Tillnman said in his referance to th~e Journal and Macon Telegraph; these two Georgia papers are built from the same model as the Columbia State and can see no good in any act of a South Carolina Reformer. Their stock in trade, in fact their existance, depends on feeding on such material as will bring forth slander, abuse and vituperation; misrepresentation is their fortland unless a man in public life bows to -the dictation of these mud-slingers, he is constantly in dhoger of being lied about. If Salem is cut off from Clarendon it means that our white population is red uced fully one-third, and that the tm'xes necessary to run the county wiji be increased considerably. The itia me of taxation will not come out of us lonie; ibe part cut off, its taxes w~i dicb increased to a greater estem: tl.aa ums, because they will have to contribute their portion towards bu2ildimng a court house and jail, which we already have. Do our Salem friends feel warranted in voting upon themselves more taxies just to icrease th~e properly valuation of a few iu dilvidiuals whose land will be at th:e new county seat? If they do, then thymygo aheamd anid divorce t~m Thi~e iirst questionf for thlem to cou iler is whethmer or m:ut it is to the iotieresd of a maijority of their own| people to be cut oi; theu would not the cost be more than the benefit, - also the necessity for such a step. If after having considered all these things, then have they the required amount of taxable property, popnla tion, area etc. We are convinced that the wholk of Salem can not be cut off, because if i: was, Clarendon would not have her 500 Fquare miles, as required by the Coustitutiol). No old eounty can be cut down to less than 500 square miles. That being the case, we ex pect to hear of a change of front on the subject from some who are urg ing the people to support the new county scheme. Just as soon as the politicians now out in the cold find they will not get any political pie they will about face and turn their guns on the new county. We oppose the new county,because we believe Clarendon is small enough as she stands. To make her any sa1ler will not give the Salem peo ple the benefits they expect, and at the same time it will injure us. It is to be hoped that before any definite action is taken in the matter, the people will seriously consider the question without allowing themselves to be influenced by men who have some selfish purpose to carry out. We realize that a few have to travel a considerable distance to reach the county seat, but they have business at the county seat so seldom that the trip is more of a pleasure than a burden; but if a new county is estab lished somebody will have to travel distances to reach the county seat as they do now, unless the projectors of the new county, propose to erect a court house at every man's barn yard. The question is a serious one and should not be lightly considered. If, however, two-thirds of the people will vote to pay aaditional taxes, we will have to submit. Under the new constitution we notice, the legislature must make provision for the maintainance of the office of bank examiner. This is a very important position and one that should be filled by a first-class busi ness man, a man thoroughly familar with the working of banking institu tions, He should also be a man be yond the reach of flattery, bribery or other methods to swerve him from his duty. If the proper man is ap pointed to this position, there is no telling the vast amount of good it will do the people generally, and especially those who deposit - their money in banks. If this officer does his full duty we will hear of less ir regularities and shortages, and de positors will have more confidence in the banks with which they do busi ness. We have been casting about for a man to suggest for this posi tion and we can find none that we think could more ably fill the bill than General J. L. Stoppelbein, of Summerville. He is thoroughly com petant, has had a first-class business training and he is a courteous gentle man, young and vigorous, in fact about the right kind of a man to un dergo the hardships of almost con stant travel which the position would necessarily entail. It is with great pleasure that we present the name of Gen. J. L. Stoppelbein for the ap pointment of bank examiner for South Carolina. HOW'S THIS!

MANNING WELL REPRESENT ED AT THE EXPOSITION. The Maining Guards a Jolly Set. They Marched Like Regulars and Received Applause. THE GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAR OLINA Pointed the Guards Out to the Gov ernor of Georgia as One of the Finest. THE EXPOSITION A GREAT IN STITUTION. The Seaboard Air Line the*Route to Take and the Markham the Place to Stop. We went to the big show, and alihangi our stay was not as long as we should like in order to thoroughly take it in, we mpad good use of the time and can truly say that the Atlanta exposition is the greatest thing we have ever visited, and r? obtained more knowledge in out three days stay there. than we could have obtained from a stndy of books in six months. Last Wednesday morning our streets was the scene of con siderable bustle, caused by the large nnm ber getting ready for the trip. The Man ning Guards together with a number of ladies and gentlemen embarked cn the 9:15 train and through the kindness and atten tion of Conductor Oglesby the ladies were soon comfortably seated in one car and the gnards in another; the boys were out for a lark, and they eertainly had one from start to finish. At every station on the entire route they would tumble out of their car, chase chickens, reb turnip patches. and make the welkin ring with their mer ry voices and whenever a stranger would pass through the car the bogs would receive him with a grand ovation, cheers and count er cheers would greet them regardless of age. Song and jest was the order of the day and the guards' quarters became the most popular on the train. The Captain had his good lady along with him, but like most men when on frolic bent he left her in another car vith the other women folks and he tried to out-frolic the most frolicsome much to the embarassmfi of the writer, who was on his dignity and was amazed to see the Captain of the Guards capering around among his men with as much glee as a little boy would with a new pack of fire crackers. The Captain would also take oc cassion to wink at and kiss his hand to the pretty girls on the station platforms. This is telling tales out of school we know, but we owe him a grudge and take this oppor tunity to get pay for it. At every station until we passed Abbe ille passengers poured into the train, and lthough we had ten coaches by the time we reached Newberry, the cars were packed like sardines, and at this place was the first time ladies became a part of the Guards' private coach, and well it was so. Their presence had a good effect; it made the boys a little less hillarious and instead of guying each other, they set about to get into the good graces of the fair ones. Our own envy was stirred when we saw these young fellows take to the ladies like ducks to water and leave us off in the cold to med. itate how it used to be when we were young. While thus engaged the god of - fortune came to our assistance, and he soon made it suit for an introduction to one of the most intelligent and one of the sweetest little women we have met since the day we found the one that now enjoys the pleasure of staying at home to look after our little ones while we are off for pleasure. This little lady was so agreeable, and she had such a nice lunch, that we forgot all about the fatiguing ride. Our whole mind was taken up in trying to be equal to her ef forts at entertaining. Our grudge against the Captain is for this: he saw that we were in perfect bliss and he maliciously poked himself in to di vide the attentions of our newly made friend. Were we jealous ? Well, we guess so, and not standing any show himself, he sought r-inforcements from among his men and brought forth such dudes as Willie John son and Georgie Bradhbam. The former was a perfect pest and the latter Lad his head turned. Other wistful eyes were upon us also, for we saw a young chap slip a newspaper toe our charm ing friend over the back of the seat, and on it waLs written, "Why do you waste time with that old duffer," and our companion with a bewitching smile whispered hack, "How can I help myself ? I have done all I could, have even given him lunch to stop his clatter." Is it any wender-that we feel revengeful? - We arrived in Atlanta several hours be hind time, and then came the trouble that bad management or breach of contract causes. The boys were assigned to a place on Marietta street, and when they got there and marched in, the proprietor of the "shebang" was out of the way, and the floors were strewn with mattresses with no covering. This did not suit the Guards, so they marched out of the ranch with many maledictious on the heads of those to blame. Back to the depot they went, and fter a whole lot of running about on the part of the Captain and others, quarters were found over a store. The proprietor 01 this place seemed to be anxious to muake things as comfortable as possible, and al though he was forced to scatter the boys the first night, after that he got them all together, and they became pleasantly situ t~ted. The writer was elegantly quartered at the "Markham," and right here we will advise ur readers contemplating a trip to the ex position to get quarters at the Markham if ther csn. liright and early Thursday morninzg Caroina day was announced amid the booming of cannon, tramping or soldery, and the music of brass: bands. Here, there and everywhere could be seen the various companies coming cut of their r.o:dezvous to march to their rc spectve pesitions in the line, and as these :omaies woabl pass a gronp) of hmec olks, cheers wrould go ringing through the ir. The~. writer, being a staff officer, L'ad a an opportunity to see aill the companies, or to get to his brigade Le had toi ride lown thie whole line, and we can truthfully -ay that the Mannin.g Guards, with their andsome egray uniforms and white elmets,not only looked fine, but they com pared favorably' with the crack companies n the parade'. T1here was one very noticable circum tance; people walking on the sidewalks would halt opposite the Guards to get a ood look at them, and all along the three aie line of march, cheers and waving of andkerbiefs wvould greet our boys. At yne poirut we heard :t young lady say, "Hurrah for the handsome fellows with shite hats" and the sentiment was re ipondled to with the waving of handker ~hiefs and clapping of bands from what pearedito be a large number ofoollege girls. 'he Marining Guards went to Atlanta; hey~ did them'4elves proud, and they were n honor to their town and S'tate. The at of such a hanids.me bod y orfci weldilled 'u" men a'ppear'ng at "th exposition vas an adverti'ement for the town, and or ands of people heard of Mianninsg bt day, that neve'r beard of it b-fore.

The Midway Plaisance was a great re sort, and it was amusing to see sedate peo p!e (men of course) at home, slide out of the streets of Cairo and sneak in to see the -*Conehete-Co.chee," in fact everywhere we conld hesr the voiees of Clarendonians. They "shot the ebute," they got tangled and lost in the "Mystic Maze," swindled at ,lhe r taurants. flirted with the beer-garden moidens, etc.. ete. We could tell los of things on our . own p-op!e if we would, but it would riot be fair. There 'was no ncb to be seien and sncha short time to see itthat our time and energies were devoted to getting the good out of the exhibits and as we said before we received more information and knowl edge in our short staty than we eould have received froni b.nkMs; u .'ixi months. asatrday morning the Guards reinctantly left Atlanta and as we did r.ot accompany them home we cannot tell what took place on the ieturn trip, f.cept from heresay; we are told that the bovs continued- trying to make :nansher at every depots, and a! one place they attempted to kiss the girls at the command of the Captain. At another place e (.f our boys undertook to guy and in return rOevc(t iiour in their faces. All usorts of it.raent mischief was indulged in and be it s'aid to the credit of the :Mlanning crowd tuat they had a big time, made the welkin ring with their hilarity. played all sorts c.f foolish and sportive ;antic<, flirted with the girls regardless of wrinkled faces, maurried or .sir~g, and at the same time not a iman of them was seen under the influ ence o liqnor, nor did any of them at any time fcrget the-y were gentlemen. We remained over until Saturday night on acconut of being in the party of onr commanding officer, and by doing so we had that mueb advantage of the other Man ningites; it gave us one more day of sight seeing, and after traveling all night we ar rived at boume worn out with fatigue ten o'clock Sunday morning, and ever since our ears have been ringing with music, and the weired sounds from the Midway. Our trip was over the Seaboard Air Line via Atlantic Coast Line. The country was simply beautiful, especially after Columbia was passed. The railroad officials did all in their power to handle the immense crowds and notwithtanding the fact that none of the trains could be bandled on time great credit is due the officials; we have not heard of a single accident or a piece of lost baggage, and the conductors were models of courtesy. The Atlanta people themselves, did ot show the Carolinians the attention we ex pected to ;ee, but when it is remembered that the exposition is a six months affair they are to a great extent excusable. What attentions were shown was in a stiff, for mal manner, a banquet here, a reception there, and at another place a theater-box party, and even these things from awkward handling became mixed and caused n is understandings. We have came to the con clusion that on Carolina day Atlanta was bewildered and she had more on her hands than she could manage. In these rambling thoughts about the trip we must caution those expecting to go, not to make any ap pointments to meet on the grounds. We made several, one with the little goddess from Newberry, another with a beautiful friend from Abbeville. and one with two charmers from New York, and in every case we failed u find the objects of our search. We know there was no dodging in the affair, for we have reasons to believe they were as anxious to find us as we were them. So when you want to scatter and get together again have the entrance gate your meeting point. We are home uov and about rested from the trip, but if our inclinations and desires could be gratified, we would return to-mor row to spend at least ten days, for we feel that the time could be pleasantly and most profitably spent. Parties contemplating going to Atlanta will do well to take the Seaboard Air Line. BOILS ALL DISAPPEAR. "All have used Hood's Sarsaparilla for the cure of boils and for other troubles caused by impure blood.

We are pleased to see the New York World undertake to discuss demand and supply. Such an undertaking may lead to an investigation by which even the editor of the World may learn something on that subject, but before any intelligent under standing can be had on the subject the World must take into consideration some thing besides commodities. The demand for manufactured commodities depends upon the capacity of the people to buy. There is no doubt of their capacity to con sume all they are able to buy. The quan tity they are able to buy will depend upon the money they have, because in every transaction where money is given for com modity money is one-half the consideration nd when the World supposes that the peo ple of the United States can buy all the oods that the factories can manufacture without money to do it, with the World is very much mistaken. While overproduc ion is impossible if the people had the eans to supply their wants, because the wants of man always have and always will nerease much faster than his capacity to mupply his wants. in this oountry the peo ple do not fail to buy new clothes because bey do not want to, but because they are :ompelled to economize and mend and wear their old clothes because they cannot get the money to buy them new. While we prodice much less than the people need we produce mere than they are able to buy because of the scarcity of money, which is proved by the fact that money will buy about twice as much as it would twenty ears ago and consequently when compared with property it is much dearer than it rormeraly was. The trouble is that money bas got so dear that people that have no way to obtain money except by their labor nd the production of property are short of money and unable to buy what they desire and many of them are not able to find money enough to keep clothes on their backs and the "wolf from the door." We are surprised that the World quotes from Edward Atkinson. It ougct to have been known by everybody by this time that Ed ward Atkinson in all his discussions has the habit of leaving out of consideration the most important fact, which is standard money. He thinks that money is exempt rom the law of supply and demand and that it makes no difference what the quan tity of suchimoney may be, the value will remain the same. His philosophy is not affected by the fact that prices go down in this country 'with every shipment of gold to Europe. He thinks prices go down by their own weight and not because the roundation of prices, which is standard money, is taken out from under them. re following shows how glibly the World ~alks about supply and demand without aking into consideration the supply and emand of money as if the prices of every. hing bought and sold was not named in ernis of money: Dri!m D AND st PPLY. In addressing tho meeting of the New England cotton manufacturers their pres dent, Mr. A. M. Goodale, tells them that ,he phenomoenal increase ina the number of nis in the country does not threaten, over production." Southecrn mills which u 1880 had only 5,42,O0 pindles now have I,379,000, but as Mr. Edward Atkinson ointed out at the same meeting, the prob em the manufacturers have to meet is to upply 1,400.000,000 people with the Lmount of cotton cloth they ought to have. Such addresses are highly significant. 'hey are full of hope in the future of our ndustries. They indicate the abandon nent of the theory that the way to promote he highest possible pro~spe'rity among nanufacturers is to close the largest poss ble number of mills. No theory could be more pernicious than hat which looks on restriction of the out put s the life of trade. Could it continue to overn American manufacturers the growth f our industries would be permanently hecked and our trade would become str:et y provincial. But the spirit of the Good address means new life to American ~roduction. As it becoees dominant it il make it possible for our workers to ominate the trade of the world. To do that we must have the largest out ut and the widest distribution. Noth g less than that ought to satisfy any ~merican. A BIGNIFICANT DEPATURE.
