Entered at the Post Office at Manning as Second-Class Matter. Columbia has her poet in J. Gor don Coogler, and now comes Green ville county with her humorist, the Grassy Plot statesmen, who gets off a joke by nominating E. M. Sea brook of Edisto for Governor. With Governor Ellerbe, Senator Archer of Spartanburg, Col. "Bob" Watson of Salada, ex-Congressman George D. Tillman and ex-Solicitor Schumpert all out for Governor, the race promises to be a live one this summer, and rumor has it that Sena tor Mayfield will also be in the race. We suspect that by the time the State campaign circus gets ready to move on its rounds it will be a pretty large one. There is a little fellow filling space in the editorial columns of a little sheet published in Charleston called the Critic who, every now and then gets very fresh, and attempts to work off a little sarcasm at the editor of THE Tns. We have refrained from noticing the little fellow, but he is so persistent we must let him know that he has been heard and that his at tempts at biting sarcasm are great, and if he will continue making a damphool of himself his reputation is is assured. The latest news from Havana fails to throw any more light on the cause of the blowing up of the Maine. Some think it was an accident and that the explosion was caused from spontane ous combustion of coal; some think it was done by the Spaniards who got aboard the ship; some think it was done through a sub-marine mire, and some think they did it with a tor pedo, and still others think that the Cubans did* it because the American ship was lying there watching them in their struggle for liberty and would do nothing to help them. In the meantime divers are at work trying to disclose the mystery, and others are 'wanted to try and reclaim the hundred or more dead bodies sup posed to be still buried in the hull of thetship. The trial of Zola, the French au thor, continues in its farcial proceed ings, and nowhere else in the civil ized world would such outrageous proceedings be tolerated. The pre siding officer of the court openly bul lies the defendant's counsel and makes no secret of the fact that he favors the prosecution, and the anti semitic feeling is so stroni that law, order and decency is not even consid ered. When judges on the bench play to the popular passions it cannot be expected that a jury will be unaf fected; therefore Zola will be found guilty, not on the evidence, but to satisfy an anti-semitic sentiment now so popular with the ruling elements of France. It was this sentiment which banished Dreyfus and it will also banish Zola. Now that the General Assembly has closed up-shop, it will take some little time for the political manipulators to gather themselves together to invent schemes to produce issues for the catching of votes. In the meantime the voters will have an opportunity to see the effect of the work done by the lawmakers and then decide for themselves who they shall select in the coming campaign. There will be a plenty of material to select from - at this will be one p eople will act in professional politi - - are heartily tired of being harassed with issues that never muateralize is plain to every one who comes in contact with them, and un less a change comes over them, very little interest will be taken this year in politics. There is one thing cer tain, the people are not going to al v themselves worked up to a pitch of ex'itement without a just cause, and little issues trumped up to catch votes will not cut much figure. In a recent letter from Washington. DJ. C.. to an old friend, Major (G. A. Studer, for twenty years United States Consul at Singa pore, says: "While at Des Moines I became acq'uainted with a lhniment known as Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which I found excellent against rheumatism as well as against soreness of the throat and chest (giving me :uuch easier breathing). J had a toneh of pneumonia early this week. and two applhcations freely applied to the throat and feest relieved rnw of it at occe. I would niot be without it for anyth ing-, for The newspapers ought not take to heart the failure of their bill in the Legislature to have uniform rates for legal advertising; instead, they should be thankful that the General Assem bly did not pass "an Act entiled an Act to require newspapers published in this State to be furnished free of charge to all members of the General Assembly." An Act to require rail roads to give free passage was pro posed, and no doubt would have passed, but a few of the members at tended church the Sunday before and listened to a sermon "Thou shalt not covet." These few killed the bill, while some of the other members were nosing about the sample room of the State Dispensary sampling the samples, and others were "monkey ing" with actresses at one of the ho tels. Fellows of the fourth estate, let us not, because we failed to procure legislation which was sensible, just, reasonable, honest a.d for the public good, begrudge these four-dollar-a day statesmen of the privileges they enjoy in sampling the samples and their entree into the society of visiting actresses, but rather let us rejoice that we are allowed to exist, with the hope that the majority in a South Carolina General Assembly will some day be made up of men of business judgment. There appears to be blood on the moon and it would not surprise us for a "call to arms" to be made at any time in this country, but at pres ent, bes'ides the Maine incident, at tention is drawn to the danger of a clash of arms between Great Britain and France in Africa. Two French expeditions have established them selves in British territory in the in terland of Lazos, and Colonial Secre tary Chamberlain is advocating a pol icy of "no surrender." It is proba ble that a serious crisis might be reached at any time if detachments of the opposing forces should chance to have an encounter, as they are liable to any day. Then, in the present ex cited condition of France, war would be very apt to follow. Other coun tries having interests in Africa would be on hand to guard those interests and if a fight starts they may be forced to take a hand. In the mean time the jingo element inathe United States are anxious for this govern ment to have a tussle with Spain in the hope that Cuba may be annexed to the United States. Those clamor ing the loudest for war would be the last to volunteer, and if they did they would run over each other in the mad race for bosmb-proof positions. We do not need a war nor do we need Cuba, and for that matter we can very well do without tbe Hawaiian Islands. The population o~f both the island of Cuba and Hawaii is made up ten to one of negroes arid ever since the war tL: y'ple of the South have been trying to solve the prob lem how to rid themselves of this ele ment. If we could get these islands and export the blacks we now already have, there may be some reason to want them but if we are to add to an already overstocked element, we would rather protest. The destruction of the United States battleship Maine continues to be the subject of conversation in all the public places, and it is particu larly unfortunate that while there is a strained relationship existing be tween this and the Spaniah govern ment, an attempt should be made to turn the Maine incident into a griev ance to precipitate a war between these two countries. The blowing up of the Maine was one of the most horrible catastrophes that has ever happened. Lives of hundreds of brave men were extinguished in the twinkling of an eye. The entire na tion mourns the loss; the entire civil ized world is in svympathy. The Spanish government, although placed in an embarrassing condition, as she must realize that under the circum stances she is an object of suspicion; notwithstanding this, she does every thing in her power tr. assist the work of relief. There is an element, how ever, clamioring for war, and the will not tolerate the advancing of any the ory which does not place the destruc ti'on of our battleship as the work of treachery. The Cuban Junta is send ing out all sorts of inflammatory in terviews and dispatches, with a pur pose to arouse the American people to a state of immediate action; they wnt a mad, wild rush to be made on Cuba and have the island wrested from the clutches of Spain. Fortu nately the United States government is not made up of men who desire to rush into war, and they are cautiously moving on the international chess board. Experts will examine into the terrible disaster, and if they find that it was not an accident, steps will be taken to demand of Spain an indemnity for the loss, and this demand will be enforced in a manner to justify the conditions. IHE DISCOVERY OF THE DAY. Aug. J. Boge], the leading druggist of Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's New Dis covery is the only thing that cures my cougb~, and it is the best seller I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of Safford, Ariz., writes: "Dr. King's New Discovery is all that is claimed for it; it never fails, and is a sure cure for consumption, coughs and colds. I cannot say enough for its merits." Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption. coughs and colds is not an experiment. It hs been tried for a quarter of a century, and to.dsy stands at the head. It never dis appoints. Free trial bottles at R. B. Lor The State printing has been award ed to the Bryan Printing Company and it is well, for the reason that it is now out of politics. But we would like to know bow the committee awarded the printing to a concern which was not the lowest bidder. According to the law, the lowest bidder was to have the work and we are informed reliably, that the Bryan Company was not the lowest bidder. We can not approve, nor will the people approve, of the defeat of a res ponsible bidder to gratify prejudice. The Columbia State bid several hundred dollars lower than the Bryans, and with the bid offered a gilt edge bond; notwithstanding this by a 7 to 6 vote the contract was awarded to a less politically offensive concern. We regarded the letting out of the printing contract a busi ness proposition and politics should not have had any place in its consid eration, but it is plain, that it was a huge factor, and the people are sim ply mulct to the extent of several hundred dollars in order that the personal spleen of a majority of the committee may be gratified. All such things come out straight in the washing, and when the people are shown that their professed friends are in reality their enemies, some thing will drop. Politicians may play their little game of politics and tickle the people, but when they are undergoing the tickling process with one hand and with the other they are pilfering the people's pockets, the game will have an abrupt ending and the punishment is bound to be sure and swift The committee to award the printing had no more right to award the printing to the Bryans than they had to the Register or a concern not listed among the bidders, because the law made it mandatory, not dis cretionary, for the contract to go to the lowest bidder.

One of the shrewdest plans yet adopted to boom a favorite candidate was invented by Mr. Hartwell MI. Ayer; the plan is disclosed in a letter sent us with a request to publish. The letter is interesting reading, even with the trick card he plays upon the innocent newspaper fraternity, but he will discover that Mr. Mayfield, the eagle of Bamberg that "lit" so ignonimously at York last summer, will not do much effective screeching in the coming campaign. He will also be convinced before the summer is half over that Governor Ellerbe is the livliest candidate in "failing health" that ever dared to face the scheming politicians in this State. Celumbia, S. C., Feb. 19.--The ses sionl of the legislature which has just adjourned has been remarkable for one thing-it has done literally noth ing. In this its record is cleaner than the record of the session preced ing it. This is not because the mem bers of the body did not (do their duty, for they were as earnest and conscientious a body as was ever gathered. They tried to do a great deal, and the most interesting history of the session is the measures it buri ed. This is due to several causes, partly because of the constitutional restrictions on special legislation, but mainly to the fact that there was an uncertainty as to the temper of the people and a feeling, whether coni scios or unconcious, that there exists in the minds of the people a deter mination to shake out the dice-box and call for a new deal all round, and a desire to be beard from on many suojects that need strong and some times radical legislation. It seemed best to the members of this body to let things remain in statu quo until the sovereignty of the nation could speak. There has also been a sentiment rapidly gaining strength to change the order of things so that the legis lature would meet every two years instead of every year, and the people will probably be heard from on this matter soon. The legislature is one of the heaviest expenses of the State government, and in the interest of economy many people urge this plan, and really there seems but little use for annual sessions; for there is now so little to be done on account of the restrictions of the new constitution. One thing that has been remarkable about the session just closed is the number of charters issued to large enterprises, railroads and the like, which shows a particularly healthy, condition of financial affairs in the State and speaks well for South Caro lina's n arch of progress. In spite of great opposition there has been considerable tinkering at the county government law. But there has been shown a considerable effort from all quarters to get the ad ministration of our internal affairs on an economic basis. Among the bills of general import ance passed was one bringing foreign building and loan associations tinder the provisions of our State laws as to usury, which will prove a blessing to many. The "Jim crow" car bill succeeadd! at last in getting through, after much stubborn opposition. The manufacture or 'istillation of liqu >rs is forbidden within two miles of a church or public school. The Ashley fertilizer bill gives South Carolina companies a hard bit. It provides a new system of grading goods, the first grade containing more phosphoric acid than our rock can produce. Lee county is the child of this session. South Carolina now honors the five great partizan leaders in the revolution in her cou tv names; Sumter, Marion, Pickens, Lee and Horrv. Another bill of general interest is one making it a misdemeanor to beat board at a hotel or boarding house. The greatest interest has been man ifested throughout the session in the coming campaign. There were slate makers galore around the capitol, but they labored in vain. Politics are in such a condition of chaos that it is next to impossible to form a ring. The people seem to have learned a thing or two about rings, and they don't fancy the dose particularly. There has been a great breaking away from old lines, and though the fac tional leaders who have profited so greatly by factional dissensions have made noble efforts to mobilize their forces, they might as well have de voted their attention to herding rab bits. The dispensary will be the center of the fight. The dispensary forces are the only ones organized. The old liners will rally to its sup port, and rumor says that Senator Archer has been selected to wear the mantle of John Gary Evans. The local optionists, though in greater force in the House, could not accomplish any reform this year, mainly through lack of leadership. They will go into the fight next sum mer and are now as sheep seeking a shepherd. It is said that John -C. Sheppard would like to raise a double standard, local option on one side and high license on the other, but George D. Tillman came out and is in his way. The local option men in the House have urged Senator S. G. Mayfield to enter the lists as their leader. Mr. Mayfield is a young man, but has long been one of the leaders of the Senate. He is regarded as a coming man and as the logical leader of the local optionists. He it was who first declared the impracticability of float ing the storm-tossed hulk of the dis pensary and prepared a bill which was presented last year, allowing the people to govern themselves and to work out their own salvation in the liquor matter. This bill has given general satisfac tion and blazes the way to whatever dispensary reformation will be ac complished. Mr. Mayfield has not yet declared his intentions. though great pressure is being brought to bear on him from all quarters, espe cially from his home, for the people of Bamberg and Barnwell counties are very fond of him personally and have great confidence in him. R. B. Watson of Saluda will divide the "truly loyal" vote with Senator Archer oi- any other man who repre sents that side of the question. Mr. Watson is a very strong man at home and nothing but good report of him has gone abroad. It is also suggested that our re doubtable Ben will forego the seduc tions of the national capitol and re turn to South Carolina to demand of Varus what be has done with his le gions. Governor Ellerbs seems to be no body's particular pet and his failing health may yet require that he with draw from a contest which will be so hotly waged as the campaign of the coming summer promises to be.

Editor THE Tints: Your pleasant reminder in the last issue of your paper prompts me to send you a few dots from Pine Grove. My promise to you would have been fulflled long ere this but for good reasons. As we look into our business, so eial and educational relations we need to rejoice anti take courage. It is true that the thundering iron horse doesn't stride through our neighbor hood and along no telegraphic wire do words chase each other as if they were things of life, bearmng welcome or unwelcome messages to our pleas ant homes; still on the altars of our hearts there burns the spirit of patri otisma, and every call of our State and county meets with as ready response from our sons and daughters acd fathers and mothers as from those of any other section of our Southland. Our people are energetic and pro gressive. This is especially evident along material and educational lines. In educational enterprise we are at the front. Our country schools are frst class and conveniently located. At this point, Pine Grove, we have a splendid graded school under the ef icient management of Prof. Pough, who is ably assisted by Miss Annie Driggers. This school is capable of doing first class academic work and is preparing students for Wofford and Columbia Female Colleges. The farmers are all busy. Tobacco barns are being built and the tobacco buds are beginning to look green. Verily this is a tobacco country. The work on our new Methodist -hurch is progressing, and it will in deed be a handsome building wheni ompleted. We hope to have the Methodist parsonage completed in a few weeks. The marriage bells are ringing ereabouts. MoRt. Asos. UUCKLEN'S A131CA SALVE.
