Our Humble Thanks. First of all we wish to extend our hearty thanks to the people of Clarendon County for the liberal patronage they have given us during the past year. When we look back to four years ago when our business was started in such a small and modest war- and look to-day at the vast busineSs we con trol, we say it is hard for us to realize it, and we can only thank our friends for it all. The past year has been a hard one--filled with disap pointments to us all. At one time it promised much, but all of a sudden the scene was changed. and upon it was written disappointment, disappointment : But notwithstanding these calamities, it is a fact that we are willing to let applear above our signature that our business has shown an increase durmi the past year of several thousand dollars over last year's bus iness, and at the same time some came among us proclaiming to be the great benefactor of the people and wourd sell themn goods 20 per cent. cheaper than the merchants who were here before them. 'ie people listened to this proclamation atten tivelv and investigated for themselves, and when they came to buy they did not forget the criginator of low prices, where rainbow wrappers greet the eye.

Elmore Martin, ex-chief of police of the city of Charleston, sher iff to succeed the late sheriff, Hugh Ferguson. This appointment has caused the Newscud Courier to vom it up a whole forest of epicac, and during its efforts to get rid of the bile on its stomach, it admits that Captain Martin is an honorable ma and will make Ch:rleston a good ofli cer. According to the News and Courier, Captain Martin is a man of high character, a good clean oiicial and private racorJ, and will make an efficient officer, but still his appoint ment has made our co1te)upIrarv very, very sick. Well, if (ptin Martin is as good a man as the N.-ws and Courier claimis him to be, Char leston need not be worried over tih had case afflicting some of that city's political representatives. The good citizens are more interested in get ting an efficient and a worthy ofn ki to conduct the i ;i-rt!: oflice :f sh riii than they are on ratifying ie News and Courier or the politicia. The Columbia Ste hasgin News and Courier some cruel sialps since Gov. Ellerbe has siiownm hinalf able to defy politicans amdi ses paper dictation, and the appointm cnt in this case proves another thing, which is, that the present Governor of South Carolina is no politicianu. as many of his political eneies would acuse him of being. If Governor Ellerbe was a politician, here was an port that. tremiendous power--te Charleston rior. This could have been accomplished simply by giving the enuni ission to the tuan the ring dictated. But the Governor snap ped his fingers in the face of this ring and gave to Charleston, as testitied to by the ring's organ, a gentleman of high character, who will make a good ofieer. The people of .larleston who are (dily being taught by the papers of that city that Governor Elleibe is a "political triekster., a "weaklin-' and a Iman who cannot be depended on, have now awoke to the realization that the Governor has been badly timisrepresentedI to then), and when the time comes to east their votes, other sources of information will be sought for besides their morning newspaper. We are satisfied that before many months roll around the politicians of South Carolina will stop preaching to the nople that the Governor is a "weakling." Tiey will be forced to ad mit he is not building feuces for re election, but that he is sitting in the Governor's chair to carry out. his sworn duty as he outlined in his in augural address. Governor Ellerbre was no"t honored by the 'people for the gratification of pomieians win have no other purpose in this life but their own seti.huess to serve. He was eleted io govern the State and has done it to the iSatitio~t1:)i of offie- seekrrs and poiitieai schemcrs. We reprol:ce the :ollowing from the C iuolbia Register, which we re gard as quite ai propriate at this ti:xe: ra Go\rnoR s .AN.TOMY. The executive anatomv seems to be giving muebConcern to the State prEi.s and the St ate politiiais. One would suppose from the aux i:ties of the new'spapers and the po iitical dotor :''t (overnor Ellerbe wasie sifering from. s.omie isef the heart. the laugs, the brain, and, e(rpecialy, lf i? spine. it is a w 1l-know habit pn par of politieniee'-sers to cll an) 'f ticial ois'igate wh n beC is iirm. a'd k wt h iat Vriine wit ii I e ir View -' declines o to turn tih ston . upon whih they have their OWn lithe or 1-; i axes t . ;.fraid.

Abstem inous atnd of the lean kind lie is, in some respects, a Cassiur. He is keen anl discering. Cassius tried to ho dwink Brutus and succeeded. Our Cassins tries to hoodhink no man nor the people. It is nit stated that any Rloman felow ever hoodwinked or used Cas si us as an instrument. or a tool. wt viil be found, we trust, that this Cassius is not weak enough to play the tool of any roan--being of the people adl for the people. We believe that Governor Ellerbe is 1; nest, independent, a man of the pcople; and that he i" brave to do his duty as his judgment auel conscience dictatu. As to his anatomy, the heart is s'oundi; lie lungs free, the head clear, and the spinal column straight and strong. Whereof let the future show wheth er the IRegister is right. If Governor Ellerbe does not stand by his inaugural so generally con mendeyd for its breadth and its liber aiity and its non-factionalism; if he does not stand for a policy looking to the peace. the prosperity and the in dustrial development of all sections of the State, we shall be disappoint cd. Thus for we see no indications, of wavering from the line he laid now>i in January last.

When there is a choice of roads to ar :ive at 11 certain goal, it is not always :lo shortest which should be chosen. Ehe desire for money is a legitimate mne, for money is the key which unlocks nany opportunities. But the ways ,vbich men take to.acquire it are too immerous to recount and differ with verv difference of character. There are nen who firmly resolve to obtain wealth )y whatever means they think will ac :omplish their end. They will get all hey can and give as little as possible or it. All such unfairness is practical obbery. The winner is the robber; the oser is the robbed. Both are injured he one in his property, the other in his haracter-while the community is like vise impoverished. But directly you ring labor into the field--honest, intel gent work-some real addition is at ne made to the wealth of the comn Junity and to the character, self respect nd independence of the worker. -New 'ork Ledizr. 1 rrencn (1r at Play. Among us it is not only a woman's duty to please; she doys it by instinct. The tiniest girls do it unconsciously. Just watch them as they walk in the avenues of our public parks. They have all the unstudied grace and ease of real ladies, and, indeed, they fully suspect that approving eyes watch them as they skip the rope, for ccquetry, which is much more subtle and more delicate than flirtation-less direct, too, in its aim-is innate with them. They are not ambitious of winning the admiration of boys of their own age. They look down with disdain on such admirers. They aspire to please big people. In their in tercourse with little playmates there is a great deal of ceremony. Nothing could be more amusing than the manner of a little girl who, having come to the con clusion by the general appearance of an other little girl that she is worthy of the honor she is about to confer on her, finally asks her to play at hide and seek. If some brave young person walks up to a group of players with the time hon ored phrase "Mademoiselle, will you allow me to play with you?" a sharp and comprehensive glance at once de cides either the reserve or the warmth of the reply. Matters would hardly take a different form in a drawing room in the case of a more serious introduction. The gestures, the bows, the little looks, the smiles, are copies of their mamma's, and yet they are all perfectly natural in the sense that they are merely follow ing their own nature without a trace of that self consciousness that "puts on airs" of any kind. This Anglo-Saxon quality of self consciousness in bLth its good and bad points is in:apatiblo with the French temperament.-Th. Bentzon in Century. In Guernsey. Guernsey is well enough if you stick fast to the coant line, especially in the south, and are not worried by unrealiz able ambitions. Ruined forts and castles stud the rocks and excite to retrospect. Moulin Huet bay is the noblest nook ci clif' and reef scenery combined in all the islands, and the water lane leading to it was charming even in winter, with a glaze of thin ice over its unfathomable depths of mud. The islanders are really a soft spoken people, well disposed to ward the stranger, whether or not he is interested in early potatoes. I wonder how many times I received the answer, "Yes, please, sir," when I asked if I was going right for my destination. The little girls, though seldom beautiful, courtesy beautifully, and the little boys do not-in winter, at all events-pester for pence. I like the gorse hedges to the interior roads, and the more when they glow with blossom and hide the glass bouses behind them. I like also to see the calm eyed Alderney cows at tether in the very small meadows allotted to them, with magpies flitting over their horns from hedge row to hedge row. And, best of all, I like the view of Berm, Jethou, Sark and their satellite reefs as I saw them from myv hotel win low in St. Peter's port at suarise or so. -Gentleman's Magazine.

It was not through her singing that the late Jenny Hill made her first suc cess on the variety stage. It was through her splendid power of repartee. She was making her first appearance at a small east end (London) music hall. A rude man in the gallery interrupted, and the chairman was powerless to quiet him. Then Jenny Hill stepped forward. "Let me speak to him," she said, and, stepping to the front of the stage, she talked to him for half an hour. She called him every abusive name in a singularly rich vocabulary and compared him to every offensive thing she could think of. The audience cheered her to the echo, and the man slunk out of the room. That was the beginning of the fame of Jenny Hill. Boston Transcript.
